“Mister Nathan!” Elaine shot up from her seat. Asher who was sitting on the seat beside her turned to look at her, before his eyes shot up to see Nathan.“Mister Michaelis!” Asher paused a bit to look at his back. “Is Miss Jonas still not here?”Nathan smoothly shook his head and formed a half smile, saying “She had some matters to attend, so I will be the only witness for today.” As he still didn’t tell the two of them that Nikita is in coma.Elaine shot a worried look at Nathan, before giving it to Asher. “Will only one witness be enough to support the evidence?”“Probably.” Asher threw his gaze to the empty defendant’s table. “Let’s just hope that snake didn’t bring her wales inside the courtroom.”A few minutes after he said that, Rose Chadwick appeared from behind the doors with a couple of police who’s holding her restrained.

GaryGary Chadwick had never expected his own wife to try and kill him. In the morning of the trial, Gary received a call from Rhea Ildian asking him to go to the trial as one of the plaintiffs. The middle aged lawyer had always been wanting to expose his wife’s cruelty of her abuse, so he agreed. While the lawyer prepared to go to the courtyard, flashes of memories filled his view.In the beginning, Gary thought Rose’s abuse was a way for her to teach Elaine like how a parents would do to teach their children a lesson. However, his three own children never received punishment as harsh as Elaine’s. She was abused day in and day out while having to do the housework as well as studies. Gary ignored Elaine’s sufferings for the first couple of years all because his wife whipped up a lie saying that Elaine’s parents have done something terrible to her in the past.However, the sufferings continued, and mental abuse towards her began to g

GaryMeanwhile, Rose Chadwick flared in disbelief and hatred. There are reasons why Gary Chadwick wasn’t his wife’s attorney. The first one was to avoid biasing, as Gary and Rose is related, the second one was because Rose didn’t trust Gary anymore to be her attorney because he allowed her to be arrested, an the last one, was because her husband was supposed to be killed so he won’t be able to come to the court today to be a witness. Yet unscarred, Gary Chadwick came with his limbs still attached, as if the group of 20 people Rose Chadwick hired were never there to target him.“You want to make a statement for the plaintiffs?” The judge reaffirmed. At the plaintiffs seat, the Asher and Elaine couple looked at Gary unblinked. Asher then turned to look at his mother, and saw Madam Rhea nodded her head.“Yes, Sir.”“Hm.” The rightful head judge narrowed his eyes as he mouthed a short comment. He gla

NathanNathan Michaelis had been swallowing several times to ease the discomfort he felt in his chest. He felt like dying, but at the same time, he’s still alive and well. The recurring vibration of his phone shook him from his taxing activity.“Hello?” Nathan answered, ignoring the caller’s ID.“Nathan.”Instantly Nathan frowned. This voice at the end of the line sounded alright recognizable—a deep and smooth voice of Carson Dimitri, the person that he loathes yet he couldn’t seem to escape him. Carson’s voice would always bring a mysterious sense of peace whenever he heard them, yet this time, that one words leaving his mouth added more to the excruciating pain he’s experiencing. What is wrong with him?“What is it?” Nathan cleared his throat after that. The discomfort in his chest be really killing him slowly at this rate.Carson fell silent as if hesitant to tell. Su

(Asher’s POV)“H-Hello?” I don’t know why I’m stuttering, probably feeling nervous now that all the tension that’s building up just because of Elaine’s case had cleared up most of the space inside my heart, I now am able to think about something else involving us.“Hey.” Elaine chirped.I then unknowingly rubbed the back of my neck as I fell silent.“Oh, sorry. Did I call at a wrong time?”“What? No, not at all. It’s just…” I pursed my lips. “Anyway, what are you doing right now?”“I just took a bath and was on the bed.”“Oh.” I chuckled. “It’s still about 8 and a half in the evening, yet people are so tired.”Elaine replied my statement with a chuckle. “No doubt about it.”The silence between us ensues. Elaine suddenly thanked me, saying that she is just a random st

ElaineThe poor girl named Elaine was once again inflicted with damage to her emotions. Unlike her surroundings which were pretty loud and chaotic; siren coming from the ambulance bellowing through the air from the distance and the paramedic doing their job, security and defense team securing the peremeter and the other spectators who were bustling into chattering among each other, Elaine felt her senses pretty numb for someone who just witnessed someone close to her being shot right in front of her eyes.Her daze lasted even until the ambulance went away. Only her guardian, Rhea Ildian’s voice managed to shook her out from daze.Elaine shot her gaze up to meet Madam Rhea’s.Despite adam Rhea asking her condition, the middle aged woman was trying haard to not show any sign’s of trauma or discomfort for this young girl who probably faced many more fears than her. Yet her feelings still spill out to reflect upon her eyes. Still, she picked

ElaineAfter school, Elaine decided to visit Asher at the hospital. She was informed by Madam Rhea that Asher just escaped a life threatening condition—by dodging the bullet from getting straight through the heart. That being said, Asher still won’t wake up despite his condition, as if something is holding him down from coming back to life.The young girl avoided going to the hospital at first because of the fear and trauma of seeing Asher being shot like that. Even though Rose Chadwick is already as good as inside a grave, that wretched woman still managed to inflict trauma even at the end of her life. What a cunning woman.Falling in a daze, Elaine didn’t realize that she had already reached the hospital. She went out from the car and thanked the driver before telling him that she will call when she wanted to get back. After that, she entered the building with a heavy heart.‘It would be better if Ryan and Rufus is here.’ T

(Elaine’s POV)Currently, I am in a pretty inconvenient situation. I blame my gut feeling for coaxing me to follow it’s orders, as right now I am walking through a long way of inside some woods, of somewhere I didn’t know. I just suddenly got transferred here like magic.I gave up on wondering where I am the moment these ivies and vines began moving on it’s own and attacked me. It might be just the trick of my mind, originally, but that doesn’t matter anymore if the plant literally tried to pull you back into the bushes. Only God knows how terrified I am at that time, which actually happened just a few minutes ago.Right now I am trascending through the path of the woods. With the entrance of the woods already closing behind me, there was only one way and that was to go forward. I really wondered why am I sent here when I was visiting Asher.Suddenly memories of him flashed through my mind as I trudged the gloomy path. That&r

(Elaine's POV)The two of us stopped at the side of the lake and he sat down. He waited for me to sit, before finally uttered a word in a form of random conversation.“This place looks beautiful, isn’t it?”I was absentminded for a few moments, before I agreed.“Indeed. Do you know where this place is?” I asked the oddest thing I have ever asked. It’s obvious that this is just a dream, a realistic dream at that, but most dreams felt like this one.Asher shot me an undecipherable look, his eyes looked quite empty even though the orange hue from setting sun glinted on the glassy surface. Then he stated, “This is my inner consciousness.”I thought he was talking gibberish for a second, yet the look on his face speaks the truth. He wasn’t lying.“What…” I breathed. “What are you talking about?”His facts were too hard for me to process, yet I have

(Asher’s POV)The first emotion after I regained my consciousness and stayed dormant for a few seconds was shame. The clips of scenes when Elaine was saying the words I have said to her inside The Flesh previously haunted my mind in a repetitive cycle that I slowly mustered the strength to one of my arms just so I could cover my face in embarrassment.I was definitely shocked to hear those words. “We’re in this together.” Was the last words I said to her when we’re inside the poison region of The Flesh. If she remembers my words, doesn’t that mean she heard my confession?“No way…” I croaked, ignoring my scratchy voice from just waking up.Apparently my voice is loud enough for this deadly silent room, that Elaine was awoken even by the subtelity of my voice.She blinked her eyes as her head tilted up. Seeing as I was lying down with my eyes open, she immediately shot up and exclaimed my name.
