The city skyline glittered beneath the early evening sky, the warm glow of streetlights reflecting on glass buildings. Yna leaned against the balcony of her apartment, the wind tangling her hair. The day had been long files, follow ups, endless evidence reviews but now, the world felt smaller. The chaos of work, the pull of investigation, the constant mind games all seemed distant when Gabriel’s presence lingered near her.

“You’re quiet,” Gabriel said from just behind her, his tone teasing but calm.

Yna turned slightly, caught off guard by the way his gaze seemed to pull at her chest. “Am I?” she murmured, trying to mask the rapid beat of her heart. “Just thinking.”

“About?” he pressed gently, stepping closer until the space between them shrank. His proximity made her pulse jump. “I hope it’s not something that bothers you.”

“Not… exactly,” she said. Her words faltered; she hadn’t expected him to read her so easily. Gabriel’s calm intensity always seemed to find the truth befor

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 63: The Weight of Recognition

    The meeting ended, but neither of them left it behind. Raven Amarah didn’t stop moving until dawn thinned the night into gray. Three location changes. Two burner phones discarded. One jacket burned and buried in a trash compactor that would be emptied before sunrise. Only then did she sit. The safehouse was quieter than the last too quiet. She hated that. Silence made room for memory. The way he stood. The way he listened instead of interrupting. The way his eyes narrowed just slightly when she challenged him. She pressed her palms against the table, grounding herself. “That wasn’t nostalgia,” she whispered. “That was danger.” She pulled up the recording from the warehouse not video, just environmental data. Sound waves. Micro pauses. The rhythm of breath between words. Gabriel had hesitated once. Not when she threatened him. Not when she challenged his control. But when she said she wanted to understand him. That was the crack. Her screen chimed an automated pull she’

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 62: When Shadows Face Each Other

    The warehouse was never meant to exist. No records. No permits. No history. It stood at the edge of the industrial district like a forgotten scar concrete walls soaked in oil and silence. This was the kind of place where truths were buried before they learned how to scream. Amarah arrived first. Raven, fully. She moved through the shadows with deliberate slowness, boots barely making a sound against the cold floor. Her hood stayed up, face half hidden, posture relaxed but ready. Every entrance had been checked. Every blind spot mapped. She knew exactly how many exits existed and how many were fake. This wasn’t a trap. It was a test. Her comm buzzed once. Jake: This is as close as it gets. No intermediaries. He insisted. Raven’s jaw tightened. “So did I,” she murmured, cutting the line. The lights flickered. Once. Then footsteps echoed measured, unhurried, confident in a way that didn’t need announcing. Gabriel stepped into the open space. No guards. No visible weapons.

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 61: Predators Don’t Blink

    Amarah didn’t sleep. Raven never did when the board shifted. She stood in the dark safehouse, the city bleeding through a narrow window, watching reflected lights crawl across the concrete wall like living things. Every instinct in her body was screaming the same truth: He’s moving. She felt it the way hunters feel the air change subtle pressure, the tightening before impact. Her fingers flew across the terminal, pulling live feeds, financial echoes, transport reroutes. The shadow audit Gabriel had ordered was already rippling outward. Quiet subpoenas. Internal reshuffling. A tightening net disguised as routine procedure. “Smart,” she whispered. “Too smart.” She adjusted immediately. Raven erased two safe routes, burned a contact, and injected a false pattern into the system enough to make it look like the threat was fragmented, inexperienced. A decoy hunter chasing the wrong prey. Across the city, Gabriel watched the same distortion bloom across his screens. He didn’t rela

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 60: Lines That Shouldn’t Cross

    The city looked different when you knew where the rot lived. Amarah moved through the night with practiced calm, her hood pulled low, her steps measured. No panic. No hesitation. That was the rule now. Panic led to mistakes, and mistakes especially now could get her killed. She replayed the discovery in her mind again and again, as if repetition might soften the blow. It didn’t. Every route she took tonight was deliberate. No familiar patterns. No shortcuts. She doubled back twice, changed vehicles once, and cut through a crowd just long enough to lose anyone who might have been watching. Raven never assumed she was alone. Not anymore. Inside a dimly lit safehouse, she finally exhaled. The walls were bare concrete. One table. One chair. One screen. The kind of place that didn’t invite comfort only truth. She removed her gloves slowly, staring at her hands like they didn’t belong to her. Gabriel. The name pressed against her chest like a weight. She forced herself to think lik

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 59: The Echo of Truth

    The rain hit the city in hard, sharp lines, splashing against windows and slick streets. Amarah stood on the rooftop of an abandoned warehouse, hood low, coat clinging to her like armor. Below, the city thrummed lights blinking, engines humming, life oblivious to the storm she was about to uncover. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pulled the encrypted file closer. She had chased shadows for months, tracing breadcrumbs, decoding half truths, narrowly avoiding traps. Each piece had felt manageable until now. She opened the latest data shard Jake had guided her to. It wasn’t much: logs, patterns, connections but one line of code blinked at her, like it had a pulse of its own. Her eyes widened as she traced it backward. It led to a name. A name she thought she had buried years ago. A name she had hoped she’d never see again. Her heart skipped. Gabriel. Not the man she knew, not the public figure. But the man controlling everything, the orchestrator she’d been hunting.

  • WIN ME, ATTORNEY: The Man I Should've Never Met   Chapter 58: Convergence

    It was easier than naming it. The case was closed officially. Stamped, archived, buried under years of dust and decisions made by people higher than her reach. She told herself that reopening it would only hurt everyone involved. Gabriel. Herself. Innocent names that didn’t deserve to be dragged back into shadows. And yet— She stared at the screen again. Same symbol. Same routing pattern. Same quiet signature hidden beneath layers of legitimate traffic. It shouldn’t still be appearing. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard. I’m imagining it, she told herself. I want there to be something because not knowing feels worse. She shut the laptop. But the feeling stayed. Across the city, Gabriel studied the report in silence. Not the official one. The one only he had. Raven’s movements had shifted more precise, less reactive. She wasn’t circling anymore. She was narrowing. Someone who stopped running and started understanding. Jake stood across from him, uneasy.
