Thirty-nine~Seek and Find

Lisa's pov I'd barely settled into my chair when Megan dropped a coffee on my desk and gave me that look, the one that said “brace yourself, it's going to be one of those days.”"Erin wants to see you," she said. "He's been pacing his office for the last ten minutes.""Of course he has." I took the coffee anyway. I wasn't in the mood. Not after what Erin did. So when I walked into his office and he started in with that clipped, all-business tone, “Lisa, sit down, we need to talk,” I let him get about four sentences in before I cut him off."If this is about the case again, I already sent you my notes. I don't have time to go over it twice.” I turned to leave. I already had my hand on the door."We found something on Bruce."That stopped me and I turned back slowly. Erin was standing very still, like he'd been waiting for exactly this reaction. "Sit down, Lisa. Please."I agreed to sit."One of the paralegals from the case came to me yesterday," he said, lowering his voice even thoug

Forty~Bummer!

Erin's pov The way Lisa ran into my office was something I had to think about. It was scary and carried a lot of tension. She swung the door open, almost scaring me to death.She bent over the table. “She's here…” She was seriously panting and trying to hold her breath. “Your wife. I saw her entering Bruce's office.”I stood up from my chair. “What? Are you sure?”“You think I wouldn't know my own mother? She's carrying the same Chanel bag you got here for her birthday. Dressed in a burgundy suit and she's on dark glasses like she's mourning the dead.”All of that marched the perfect description of Julie. But I wasn't in a hurry to check her out, no, it would only make her leaving hurried and suspicious.“Let's wait until she's leaving.”⁠✯⁠✯“Julie..” I called out to her as soon as she got to the exit. She slowly turned to look at me. Her eyes darted from her bag to me, like she was trying to hide something.“Hey baby. I wasn't expecting to see you here. Or anywhere.” She smiled ner

Forty-one~Rot!

Lisa's pov Seeing how determined Erin was to take mum down, I was pumped. So pumped that when he got out all that evidence, my fingers began to twitch.“All of this was provided by a boy?” I asked, staring at the flashdrive and the documents that stacked Erin's table. There was no freaking way in the world that someone would carry such a heavy amount of evidence to his office like that.Like Erin could read my mind, he said. “Don't worry, he didn't bring them alone. I asked Brandon to go with him? That's how all of this got here.”I raised my brows. “Who's Brandon?” He ignored me after that and I knew the name and the man behind it was none of my business.I mouthed a silent “Okay, sorry for asking.” I turned back to the evidence and started digging. In the documents provided, I found falsified signatures of Mr Kent, proving that he was cheated by the other party.“Someone duplicated his signatures and made him look like he had done it? What in the world?” I was utterly shocked.Erin

Fourty-two~See you in court

Erin's pov Lisa had done it. Finally, we had what we wanted in our hands and I couldn't wait to execute judgement on those who deserved it.When she placed her phone on the table and played the recording, my fists folded really fast and I was also dying to send my punch flying into his face.“That bastard….” I groaned and looked up at Lisa. “Did he say all of that? Mindlessly? Without even thinking twice about it?”Lisa nodded. “I'm surprised too but despite all that, I still took it. I wasn't going to sit there, asking him if he was telling the truth, fuck no. I took everything he said.” I thought about what she said and for me, that was enough.We weren't going to sit around anymore, trying to find out if Bruce was telling the truth or lying his ass out. Whatever it was, we were going to take it like it was.Lisa paused the recording and sent it over to me. Her face didn't carry the victory I was expecting, though it bothered me but I had swore not to push.“So what's next now? Whe

Fourty-three~Jail

Lisa's povFor a very good reason, I was glad that I didn't make it home. God knows what kind of ruckus mum and Erin had planned for the night, especially mum.Erin looked too tired to even think about anything so going over to Megan's place was the best plan. Luckily for me, her husband had gone on a business trip so it was just me and my best friend.By the time the night was over, I had gathered all the courage I needed for the next day and everything had been set into motion. By morning, Megan and I drove to work and when I got to the office, Erin hadn't arrived yet. I found myself wondering if mum had him caught up in her drama again.I waited until Bruce had arrived and when he did, I moved immediately wasting not time at all. “Are you ready for this?” Megan tapped my shoulders, ironing them out as she made me go through some nasty procedure to calm my nerves down.Mhm yeah…” I nodded quickly. “I'm fucking calm. I just need to get this over with.”Megan smiled, agreeing with m

Fourty-four~Scream my name

Erin's pov Bruce had been arrested and finally, my head was able to find peace. Seeing how Lisa was able to get him arrested like that was shocking.I had always known Lisa to be this strong, independent girl with the tendency to carry on without anyone's help but seeing how she broke down in Megan's arms, I was forced to think otherwise.After that day, we hadn't spoken so well. She never came home, always at Megan's place. It was like we were back to square one again, with her being stubborn and so hard to please.It was almost like she had zoned out and the person I was seeing was the Lisa that harbored so much hatred for me.I needed to play my cards right if I wanted to get back in her good books again. And I needed to be smart about it too.Meanwhile, Julie heard about Bruce's arrest and she hadn't been the same ever since. She had been taking calls and bringing it up on a random day.I mean, I'd be literally sitting in a fucking chair thinking about how I'd put my head again a

Forty-five~My Fault

Lisa's pov I could feel the color drain from my face the moment I saw him unconscious. I stood there screaming his name but he wasn't answering.The ambulance was already blaring in the distance. Someone gracious had called 911 while I stood there like a dum dum, staring at the man that did nothing but try to talk to me.Shit. I couldn't get any closer. What was I even thinking? I had seen him with her. I had seen his calls and his texts but for the stupidest reasons, I chose to ignore him instead.I wanted him to do the chasing, not me. I took my phone out with shaking hands and called Megan. She answered within minutes.“Girl, you were supposed to be here—”“I hit Erin.” I dropped the bomb on her. The other end of her line went quiet for a few minutes and I took it as she was trying to process what I had said.“Where are you Lisa? And what the hell are you talking about?”Before I could say anything, the sirens got closer and louder. Soon, the ambulance was behind me and the para

Forty-Six~See Me

Erin's pov You know that moment when you have this dream where you almost lost your life? I just had one and the only thing that scared me more was leaving her behind.So when I opened my eyes to this fucked reality, the first question that got out of my mouth was her. The nurse looked at me like I was crazy but I wasn't.“I need to see Lisa….” I gasped, trying to catch myself for a minute. It felt like oxygen was being pulled out of me for a minute and I got sucked into a soulless abyss.The nurse's eyes darted from me to the monitor standing beside me. Probably she was trying to see if I was really well or my spirit was speaking from an empty body.“Please…” I added to make it less awkward.The nurse stepped outside and when the door swung open, Lisa's scent filled the room. From where she stood, I felt my chest rise with excitement, seeing her walk in like a little child. Her fingers were knotted together, she had a little fear in her eyes, I knew why she had them.“Hey…” I manag

47~Your Job

Lisa's pov “Which one of you had Bruce arrested?” Those dropped like a bomb on us. I hadn't even taken enough time to look at Erin properly before mum barged in and silenced the room like a commander.I blinked. “What? Mum, what are—”“I said which one of you had Bruce arrested?” Mum snapped, her eyes widened sharply like they could cut through her lens.I didn't know what was going on with her. First, she was hell-bent on almost cussing me out for causing Erin his accident and now, it's Bruce. Most times, I don't even know who my own mother is.“It was me.” Erin answered before I could gather myself. Everyone in the room turned to look at him. What was he doing? Trying to take another hit for me? Again? No fucking way!I sharply turned to Erin, ignoring my mum. “What are you doing? This was me, not you.” But Erin wasn't listening. He had his eyes stuck on mum.“What is it, Julie? What's all the ruckus about Bruce now?”Mum held on tightly to her handbag. “He needs to get out of the
