All Chapters of Secrets after I do, a lawyers revenge : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

THIRD PERSON'S POVIt was almost the close of work, and Lucy felt exhausted in every way. She had so much work to do, and with everything going on in her life, it only exhausted her more.She had made the decision to fight back and get her revenge, but she was soon realising how draining it is. Caramel wasn't just her secretary; she was more. She wouldn't call her a friend, but she was definitely more than just a secretary.And the betrayal was hitting her hard. She didn't know what else to do. She had been so confident just a few hours back, but now she has lost every zeal in her.“Hey girl, what's going on in your firm? It's crazy outside.” Amelia immediately said as she pushed the door open and entered.Lucy's eyes were focused on the document, but her mind was a thousand miles away. The voice brought her back to the present, and she raised her head…“Amelia.” She smiled at the familiar face of her good friend. As always, she looked good in her minimal makeup and well-tailored bro

THIRD PERSON'S POVLucy's eyes widened slightly as the realisation hit her hard. Her throat clogged and involuntarily her fists clenched. "There are two sides and I will definitely end up getting burned or burn others." she muttered to herself.Her eyes shone with determination. “No. I will burn down every lie they built around me. I will protect what I worked hard for.” She said into the empty sitting room.She wasn’t going to be one of those women who almost won or those who stopped halfway, or those who were too scared to fight for themselves.The woman who was talking on the television at the moment mentioned how the first thing she did was investigate and find out every detail she could do so as not to make any mistakes.“That's right, Lucy! You are a lawyer; how did you not think about such important details? The way to win any battle was to gather evidence.” She thought to herself.She rushed upstairs and took out her laptop from her bag. She opened her laptop and pulled up her

THIRD PERSON'S POV Lucy sat on her desk, her head in her hand. Books scattered around on the table. She pressed on her temple, as her brain worked like a machine in override. She exhaled loudly and picked up one of the papers. Her eyes scanned it as she picked another. She dropped them and picked up another.“Something isn't right… Why can’t I see it?” She muttered to herself. Her eyes scanning the papers on her table.“I need to win this case, and I can only do it if I find that piece of evidence. It would be the turning point in the case, the last nail in the coffin.” She thought to herself.The case was a simple yet tricky one. Two brothers were fighting over their father's company. She only had to prove that her client was a better fit to be the CEO of the family business. And in one of the papers, she had something that would show that her client's brother wasn't fit. That was all she needed, but the paper seemed to elude her. Angrily she banged her hand on the table in frust

THIRD PERSON'S POV Lucy dropped her tablet and rolled down the window. The streets were busy this morning, but Clinton was a good driver, and he knew how to manoeuvre without issues.“Ma’am, the dust level today is high. You shouldn't lower your window.” Clinton said to Lucy.Lucy's lips curved up in a little smile. “You are right, Clinton, but these days I realise how much I have let life move past me. It's okay to enjoy little things too… I mean, everyone is walking around without worrying about the dust level.” She chuckled.Clinton smiled. “You are right, ma’am, but you are different. You are the owner of one of the top law firms; a lot of lives depend on you.” Lucy looked away, her eyes back onto the street. Clinton was right; she was different. She had forgotten to actually live and enjoy her life. For so long she had moved with so much speed that she lost track of how to just be a normal girl and be happy.She had thought she was happy as long as she had Logan, but she could

THIRD PERSON'S POV Lucy’s eyes darted to the wall clock. 5:30… it showed She removed her reading glasses and subtly rubbed her eyes. She was beyond exhausted, but there was one more thing left to do before she called it a day.She arranged the papers relating to the financial analysis, locked them in her drawer along with other confidential documents and threw the key into her bag. Once everything was ready, she left her office.Grace rushed out of her office. “Ma’am, do you have a meeting?” she asked.“Yes. I am meeting a client; I will go home from there. So you can go home.” Lucy replied and spun around to leave.“Ma’am…” Grace called out to her.“Yes…” “You have a court session tomorrow by 9 am. You might have to go directly to the courthouse from home so you don't arrive late.”Lucy inhaled sharply, momentarily closing her eyes. “How did I manage to forget that?” she thought to herself. “Please bring the files to the car. I will take them home with me and go from home to the
