1 month later… JANIYA'S P. O. VThe courtroom was a symphony of whispers and hushed conversations. The air crackled with tension, a palpable energy that vibrated through the room. Giulia, the woman who had orchestrated the accident that had nearly taken my life, sat before the judge, her face a mask of defiance. "Your Honor," the prosecutor began, his voice a steady drone. "The evidence is clear. The defendant, Giulia, acted with malice aforethought, deliberately causing a car accident that resulted in serious injuries to the plaintiff, Janiya.”He recounted the events, the meticulous planning, the calculated actions, the chilling indifference to the potential consequences. I sat in the witness stand, my heart a heavy stone in my chest, reliving the terror of that fateful day."The defendant," he continued, "has shown no remorse for her actions.

Wala na 'yung dating ingay at 'yung dating energy.“Hello,” I said, my voice a low murmur. “Yes, it’s me. I need you to do a background check… on someone. Her name is Caprice. Caprice… I’m not sure of her last name. Just… Caprice.”Imbis na sagot ay pagtawa lang ang narinig ko sa kabilang linya."Sir, sa lawak ng mundo at sa dami ng taong may pangalang Caprice, imposibleng makita ko agad 'yung hinahanap n'yo,” he said afterwards.
