Lawyer Books Fiction Novels & Stories

Stop gawking at the lawyer, Em. “Right. Have a seat.” Phin sat down in front of his desk, which was immaculate in its organization, color-coded files placed in various bins and organizers. Pens were lined up next to his left hand, while a calendar with neat handwriting took up much of the room on the desk. Emily looked around, her gaze landing on the bookshelf that took up the entire southern wall. Trying to make out the titles and knowing it was hopeless, she suddenly felt intimidated. Of course she knew Phin was smart: he was a lawyer, for God’s sake. But the books were like a flashing signal that screamed at her that she was out of her depth.

I reopened the tab I’d saved last night and skimmed through my notes on white-collar criminal liability and attorney-client privilege boundaries. The kind of stuff I’d cursed for five straight years for keeping me awake at night. But tonight or technically, this afternoon...my anxious brain needed something to control. And the law, no matter how awful, always came with rules. Tilting my head, I scrolled through the e-book, trying to remember the last time I studied not to win an argument but just to learn.

This was they first time ever that they were not competing against each other but were working together. “I’m going to find the Criminal Law by Noel Cross. It might be of some help for our project,” Ashley spoke in a low voice as they were sitting in library. Aron nods and Ashley leaves to find the book. Ashley roams through the library in search of the book and finds it after a few minutes of searching. “Find ya!” Ashley says with enthusiasm.

I left Aaron for the meantime on the part where the fountain pens are to go to the novel section. Since I saw Sophie Lark's Brutal Prince on TikTok's recommendation, people who have read this say that it has a strong female lead. I enjoy books of that genre, therefore I may be interested in reading it. I looked at the shelves. I also picked up a book and read the synopsis on the back when Aaron came to me here. "You like reading books?" he asked. I turned my eyes on him, "Uh, sometimes. If I'm interested in the plot," I answered.

Something dangerous. “I’m saying I’m a lawyer, Chloe. The best in this district. I’ve spent years learning exactly how men like Alexander Knight hide their rot behind board resolutions and offshore trusts and pretty press releases.” His thumb traced the line of my jaw. Slow and deliberately. “And I’m very good at exposing rot.” My pulse kicked. “You’re going to fight the lawsuit?”

“And I’ve seen you carrying files with that fancy agency name on it.” “Oh.” I smile back. “I was beginning to think you were psychic or something.” “Or something is right. Are you a public defender or something noble like that?” I shake my head. “I mostly do real estate law. Nothing too noble; well, I did win a case a few months ago against a slum lord whose building wasn’t up to code and was overcharging the tenants.” I wrap my fingers around the teacup and pick it up. My mouth is dry, and my stomach clenched the moment I saw the texts and hasn’t relaxed. I’m afraid if I put anything in there it’ll just chuck it right back up.

Smiling, I knew exactly where I would spend most of my days. Taking this time to explore the books on all the shelves, I can’t help but find all sorts of novels within them. Books ranging from History all the way to Fiction. Law books to Art books, books even leaning towards the Erotica side of things. There was even a shelf solely made for cooking. Hmm… Thinking as to how I was going to start my revenge for all the shit they put me through, I knew only one thing when it came to mind and that was they were definitely way too serious, which was never a good thing. They needed to relax.

I went downstairs in bare feet and found myself drifting toward the library without really deciding to go there. The door was already open. I flipped on the small desk lamp instead of the overhead lights. The room materialized in pieces. Shelves floor to ceiling, packed with books Alfred bought by the yard because someone told him it looked distinguished. Most of them he’d never opened. A few were mine. Legal texts. Case studies. Biographies of lawyers who’d actually mattered. I used to matter. I moved along the shelves, running my fingers over the spines, not looking for anything in particular. Just touching them.
