Zola Marten. Vingt-quatre ans. Substitut du procureur. Et invisible. Elle s’est glissée dans la magistrature comme on se glisse dans un costume trop grand. Discrète, appliquée, irréprochable. Elle ne prend pas de place. Elle ne dérange pas. Elle est toujours à l’heure, toujours prête, toujours en retrait. On ne l’interrompt jamais. On ne la complimente jamais non plus. Ce matin-là, elle entre dans le tribunal comme chaque jour : tailleur gris, talons bas, cheveux attachés strictement, regard baissé. Elle tient une pile de dossiers serrée contre elle, comme un bouclier. Elle traverse le hall, croise des avocats qui ne la remarquent pas. Elle le préfère ainsi. Elle rejoint son bureau, déverrouille son ordinateur, s’installe avec la même rigueur que la veille. Elle commence à lire un dossier de violence conjugale. Ses sourcils se froncent légèrement. Elle prend des notes au stylo rouge. Précise, méthodique. — Marten, dans mon bureau, gronde soudain une voix. Stanley Renaudin, le procureur, est debout dans l’encadrement de la porte, bras croisés. Il ne dit jamais bonjour. Elle se lève immédiatement et le suit. Il lui parle d’une nouvelle affaire délicate. Un riche homme d’affaires, PDG d’une compagnie pétrolière accusé d’avoir commis des faits de harcèlement envers sa secte. Dossier sensible. Les médias s’y intéressent déjà. — L’avocat de la défense, c’est Erwan Delcourt, dit-il enfin. Zola lève légèrement les yeux. Ce nom, elle le connaît. Pas personnellement. Mais elle a entendu parler de lui. C’est le genre de nom qui revient souvent dans les couloirs. Brillant. Éloquent. Redoutable. Et surtout… très sûr de lui. — Il va chercher la faille, Marten. Il va essayer de te faire perdre pied. Je veux que tu le coinces sans trembler. Tu peux le faire. Elle hoche la tête, mais son estomac se serre. Ce n’est pas de la peur. Pas vraiment. C’est ce mélange familier de pression et de doute qui l’accompagne à chaque affaire. Elle sait ce qu’on attend d’elle. Elle sait ce qu’elle vaut. Mais face à un homme comme Delcourt, elle sent déjà qu’elle devra faire plus que simplement être compétente. Zola prend une profonde inspiration et ferme les yeux, se rappelant les mots de Stanley. “Tu peux le faire. Reste concentrée.” Il a raison. Elle doit rester concentrée. Demain, elle le rencontrera. Elle n’a pas le droit de flancher. Pas cette fois. Elle retourne à son bureau, rouvre le dossier, et se plonge de nouveau dans les détails, sa volonté renouvelée. Rien ni personne ne la fera perdre pied. Pas aujourd’hui. Demain, elle le verra pour la première fois. Et pour l’instant, elle ne veut rien d’autre que gagner.When the news of Eryna waking up spread, everyone came swarming into the mansion like bees, Everybody was so delighted to see Eryna again, Micah walked down the stairs and saw his house look like a stable. Everywhere he saw people munching on stuff while the other laid on the couch as if it was their home. Micah was unable to take it in anymore so he confronted them. “Okay! The party is over, you can all get lost now!” He stared at Hunter who was stuffing his face with pasta. “Why?! It’s fun here,” he scratched his back with the couch and continued eating, he looked nothing like the first time Micah saw him, at first Micah got some elite vibes from him but now that he had seen him for so long he slowly understood what kind of human he was. He moved his gaze towards Grayson who was snoring on the second couch, Micah grinned his teeth and picked up a pillow, and threw it on Grayson’s face that made him get up with lightning speed. “Who is it? What happened?” He asked in a defensive t
The curtains were tightly shut, The room was dark, but the person that laid still for a long time finally showed a movement, Her index finger vibrated showing the sign of life, her eyebrows twitched slightly as her eyelids parted. Everything was blurring for her, she blinked a few times to adjust her vision. She could feel her limbs sour, she had laid in that position for too long, she tried to move her body but that was too heavy for her. Eryna slowly tried to lift her hand on which an IV drip was attached.She wanted to speak but her tongue was too heavy for her to lift,‘What is going on? Why is everything so dark?’ She tried to move but was left breathless after a few attempts.“Why is my body so heavy? And why does it hurt so much?’ Eryna thought to herself as she stared at the ceiling w
Beep—beep—beep…That was the last thing I heard before I fell into a deep slumber, I felt calm, everything around me was soothing, and I felt like I was floating between the clouds, after a very long time the feeling of freedom was felt by me.I saw a bright light, and everything around me suddenly, I was walking on soft grass with my bare feet, I saw a wooden bridge that led to a garden full of roses, the other side of the bridge was a very beautiful place, butterflies were flying around and dancing in the mild breeze. I sucked in the fragrant air and it inflated my lungs. It was very fresh. The dew was resting in the flower petals. I walked towards the rose garden, it was very familiar to the flower farm,The beauty around me made my heart fe

Through the crowded hallway, Micah ran as if his life depended on it. Renya’s voice rang in his head.‘She is my sister, Her name is Eryna—I didn’t want to marry you so She took my place and married you—‘“Please let me see you! Please wait for me,” Micah chanted to himself. “I have so much to tell you, I have so much to ask of you! You can’t just go like that,” he clenched his teeth in pain. He opened the door to the room where Eryna was staying but it was empty and the nurse was fixing the sheet.“Excuse me! Where is the patient that was staying in the room?” He asked hurriedly.“She was taken away for the surgery just a minute ago,” she replied.
It was 10 in the morning, Renya walked to and fro before Micah’s mansion waiting for him to drive out as she didn’t have enough guts to get inside, but after a long wait she saw no one come out, and that made her anxious. She slowly approached the gate and was quickly greeted by a guard at the gate.“Miss!” He spoke with surprise.“Hi!—“ she spoke awkwardly. “Is Your Master home?” She asked.“Master? He is gone to work,” he replied.“Gone? Already?” Renya asked.“Miss, Master usually goes to work early, you know that,” he replied with a confused expression on his face.“Oh! Yes—ho
Eryna sneaked back into the hospital and tip-toed back to the room trying to be as invisible as she could. She held her face with both of her hands until she reached her room.“Gosh! I am so glad none of them decided to visit me today, “ Eryna wiped the sweat on her forehead in relief and opened up the door. And walked in like a sneaky cat, she slowly closed it and turned around.“Gasp!!—“ Eryna saw something frightening and her eyes widened in shock. Her breath stopped and she slowly gulped down her fright and opened up her lips.“What are you doing, sitting there like a sneaky cat!?” She spoke in an almost screaming manner.“Sneaky? Me? Look who's talking.” Renya got up off the chair and walked over to her. “W
Eryna was jumping around in her bed trying to find the best position to fall asleep but wasn’t able to do that, she felt uncomfortable at heart. The words of Ayden kept on running around in her mind. She picked up her phone and dialed Ayden.“Hello,” she spoke.“You called me this late! Is everything okay?” He asked.“Sigh! Where is Micah?” She asked.“Hah! Why do you ask? I thought you said you hated him,” Ayden purposefully exaggerated.“When did I say that?” Eryna asked in a defensive tone,“Well, you didn’t technically say it but I saw it on your face,” Ayden smirked as he replied,
Even in her sleep, Eryna’s eyebrows were not resting, they had formed into a frown. She had gotten weaker, her once long and wavy hair had been once more removed, and instead, she was covering her head with a rainbow-colored woolen cap.She felt cold even in the warm room and under the blanket. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling with an empty eye.She missed the warmth of Micah’s embrace, and how the pain had vanished instantly. Eryna shrugged her head and tried to let go of that feeling but it kept on sticking in her head. The thoughts of Micah had taken over her head after Grayson told her that they were applying for a divorce. Eryna never had a feeling that She and Micah were going to part. For some reason, her brain never showed a possibility but now that she had finally realized that marriage was only a plaything, she felt a s
