Novel & Cerita Justice Is Best Served Cold

"The entire team. Dr. Khalid. Everyone. We are going to show the world exactly what happens when a Reed reclaims their territory. But tonight, you need to eat, and you need to sleep. Your brain has earned a rest, champion." ​"I don't think I can sleep for a week," Justice laughed, though his eyelids gave a heavy, involuntary flutter as the warmth of the vehicle finally began to fight the adrenaline. He reached down, gently touching Brooke’s small foot through the fabric of her carrier. "But man... that was the best ice cream day of my life." ​Ava let out a soft, beautiful laugh, the sound echoing perfectly in the quiet luxury of the car as the Mercedes glided up to the grand, illuminated ent

I glanced at the screen. “Jesus,” I muttered. “I get the pain, but… she should’ve gone to the police. There's a law for a reason.” Heath’s chuckle was humorless. “And what, watch them get a slap on the wrist? Maybe even walk free? You think the system gives a shit?” I frowned. “You don’t think justice matters?” “I think justice is a fantasy sold to people too weak to take it for themselves,” he said, voice low, slow. “You want peace in this world, you have to buy it with blood. Otherwise, you’re just prey.”

Journalists, civilian liaisons, senior Pack officers, all waiting for confirmation that the worst had passed, that we were steady again. I adjusted the cuffs of my jacket and stepped up to the podium, the wood worn smooth from decades of post-crisis addresses. Every time I stood here it felt heavier. The ghosts of previous speeches pressed into my shoulders. “Yesterday,” I began, “justice was carried out under Old Law. A traitor was identified, detained, and burned as tradition requires. Not for vengeance. For closure. For containment. For safety. He had access to systems no enemy ever should have, and now he doesn’t.”

"We’re gonna make that bitch rot in a cell, and when her time is finally up and she crawls out, we can end her dirty-ass life for good. But first? I need her to taste the raw, agonizing torture of prison." "We’re all in, girl. One hundred percent," Sophia said, her gaze ice-cold as she stared into the night. "Justice is ringing our line, and one by one, we are gonna pick up that call and make every single one of these culprits pay with their fucking lives."

He wore it now like armor. Vincenzo studied him over his cards. “Tell me, Detective. What do you make of my little casino?” “I think it’s illegal as hell.” “So are plenty of things people do behind closed doors. That doesn’t stop them from enjoying it.” Vincenzo glanced at his next card. Another king. “The real question is whether you can appreciate something that exists outside the law. The freedom in it.” “I appreciate justice.” “Justice.” Vincenzo rolled the word around like it tasted odd, something he’d only read about in books. “And how has justice been treating you lately, Detective? Suspended. Disgraced. Partner gone. Career in ruins. Is that what justice looks like?”

Her high pitched voice pierced into the atmosphere, “I’m an adult! One old enough to know what injustice looks like!” “Really?” The alpha asked inquisitively although his anger was palpable. “Tell me, what is Justice?” “Justice is doing the right thing. Not being unjust to a loyal person! How can Valerie’s parents serve so diligently even to the point of losing their lives yet….” Breaking down shortly in tears. “Yet, you want to demote her to being a mere omega. That’s unfair!” “So you were eavesdropping on my conversation?” “Dad, that’s not the point.”

Cynthia sat on a cold metal chair, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table. The officer pushed a stack of interrogation notes in front of her—three middle schoolers' statements, their childish handwriting crooked and clumsy, but filled with the phrase "delivering justice." "They thought they were punishing evil and promoting good," the officer sighed. "But they were just being used." Cynthia lowered her gaze, a cold smirk tugging at her lips. "Justice?" she repeated softly, her finger gliding over the line that read: ‘Acting on orders from above.'

Justice moved his tongue over his dry lips and a pleading voice came out of his throat. "You asked; now I am starting to feel much better” Justice was shocked by the irony hidden in Kabir Dada's voice. But surprisingly, no one cared about his standing. "Kabir Dada have I been insulted?" Justice asked stammering. "Have you heard that one of our servants is about to be sentenced to death and that is why the verdict in his case is constantly being postponed?"

The prosecutor, satisfied with the outcome, stood and watched us leave, no sign of sympathy in his expression, and even before I got out of the room, I even whispered him say something. "Sometimes, justice isn’t about what’s right. It’s about what can be proved." Right, that's right. Must be the reason why I was in this hell-bent situation while completely alone. Utterly alone. And just like that, I had been stripped of the life I deserved. As I stood in the cold, grey cell, the steel bars closing in around me like a vise, it felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair. The thought of spending the rest of my life behind bars, with no chance of redemption or justice, was almost too much to b

Her ominous words left me unprepared. "Are you cold?" This time he didn't mock me and pulled my leg calling me kiddo. "A little." I felt all gazes on me. The most piercing gaze was of Justice, "You don't need to do it if you don't want to. I won't be the one to die. People die every day."
