Xavier~"Oh my god, it's unbelievable. How can they put such a severe charge on you? If the media leaks this news, it could negatively impact your public image," Bella said, her voice trembling as she read the notice. I grabbed the paper from her hand, my own pulse racing as I tried to process the gravity of what she’d just said."What the hell is this? How can they accuse you of harassing your partner and accusing him of being a home wrecker? I mean, you both told me you were in a relationship willingly!" I looked at Victor, my expression a mix of confusion and shock, waiting for any sign of denial or explanation from him. "What’s this notice even about?"James leaned over, grabbed the court notice from my hand, and read it aloud."Wait… Are you… gay, Victor?" James looked up, startled, his eyes wide with shock as he searched Victor’s face for answers.Victor didn’t respond to James. Instead, he lowered his head, his face shadowed with a mix of shame and fear, his silence speaking v

Xavier~"Dad. Please forgive me; I know I caused you so much pain and insult. You always protected us like a shield, and I was unaware of your value in my life until you cut ties with me." When I saw my father's lifeless body resting on the hospital bed, I started crying. His heartbeat indicator beeped, displaying a slow heartbeat line, and the sight of these lines on the heartbeat meter filled my heart with sadness. I never saw my dad in such a weakened condition. Despite his extensive experience as a criminal lawyer, I never noticed any signs of tension on his forehead. However, his unexpected heart attack deeply affected me. Indeed, we don't realize the true worth of a person in our life until we lose them. At some point, I began to feel responsible for my father's condition. My father never wanted me to interfere with Jordan Lucas, but at that time, I was so passionate and arrogant about my lawyerliness that I overlooked the potential consequences of my actions. Victor's secret

Xavier~"What nonsense they were talking about!" Dad's shocked reaction prevented me from finishing my lunch. Bella tried to switch off the TV immediately, but because Dad had already heard the news, there was no point in keeping anything from him. Bella, James, Victor, and I exchanged shocked glances, none ready to answer Dad's questions."Bella, could you please explain what's going on?" Dad demanded an explanation from Bella because he hadn't spoken to any of us except her.Bella raked her saliva down her throat in an attempt to summon the courage to respond to Dad's question, but she refrained from doing so because of her growing fear of his reaction."A...act...actually...da...Dad." Her words faltered as she observed a flicker of anger in Dad's eyes."Bella, please respond to my query immediately if you want me to continue to have faith in you." He demanded an explanation with full authority in his voice.Despite my initial lack of confidence in defending Victor in this case, I a

Xavier~"My lord, my client did not pressure John to enter a relationship with him; John was willingly involved with Victor." I began my argument to defend Victor in the courtroom after the court session began. I was so nervous while leaving the house, and now, in the absence of Bella, I feel helpless. My dad's doubt-filled gaze still haunts me, as if he is trying to mock me for showing the confidence that I will defend Victor."Xavier, the court is not focused on accusations alone; it requires proof, so please present your evidence to the court." Jorawar Uncle mocked me. He observed my nervousness and exploited it to heighten my anxiety.I discovered some evidence, but my nervousness prevented me from properly presenting it in court. The ongoing argument in the court is not fully occupying my mind. Rather, I have many questions and doubts running through my head. I feel uncomfortable arguing with my uncle to defend my younger brother. Jorawar Uncle holds a special place in my heart,

Xavier~"Dinner is ready, Bella." I gently knocked on my dad's door, inviting him to join us for dinner. "Give me just a few minutes; we will be there." She motioned for me to leave immediately. I found her behavior very strange. what she is hiding from me. After we met Jordan Lucas today, she looked so worried. I tried to find out the cause of her concern, but she didn't want to discuss it with me. Upon seeing her in my dad's room, my suspicions about her intensified. She told me she was tired and needed some rest, but when I went into her room to call her for dinner, I didn't find her there. I could tell they were talking about something serious by the solemn expressions on Bella's and Dad's faces. However, what were they talking about?"Call your grandfather for dinner, Alan." Victor was excitedly setting the dining table for today's dinner. "All right, Dad." Alan stopped helping Victor and walked towards Dad's room. "Alan, you don't need to call your grandpa; Bella takes him.
