I USED to be brimming with passion, love and joy. I was once everyone's favorite, the kind that everybody wants.
But that was a long time ago, the time where I'm still me. Where I am special and innocent.
But everybody has its own constraints. Nobody can resist the sense of grief, sorrow and suffering.
When they reach their fullest pain, everyone changes.
"ATTORNEY!"
Nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Guy na ngayon ay masayang tumatakbo papunta sa'kin hawak ang isang envelope.
Tinagilid ko ang aking ulo tsaka siya pinagmasdan.
Chapter 23 is up! If you ever kind of confuse with this, its a flash back everyone. This made Elara who she is now. Estell is Elara, she change her name after her release in prison. Joyful reading!
SHE'S there, I could touch her... She's real. I smiled as soon as I saw Elara smile, I unconsciously smiled as well. The cold dusk sky's wind run through our skin. The breath of fresh air releases the heavy burden of sorrow weighing on my heart. It was reassuring. I stared at Elara. She had pale but glowing complexion, her clothes portrays her character more. Her frail frame that I couldn't easily hold. "Look, the view here is much prettier." I said and smiled. Elara drifted her gaze and chuckled. "Yes, tha
"IS it okay? A nice ending huh?"I smiled and kissed his lips."You should put a small detail here like a shoe print."I nodded. "Yes, since there are no other evidence present. Let's make an obvious one.""Hmm, add also hidden clues."I laughed, turn my chair around and looked at him."How about this idea?"He smiled and caresses my face and hold the pen to draw something."A murder disguise as suicide. How could you think of that?"

"ANOna naman tinutunganga mo diyan?"I blinked twice and smiled. I rested my chin in the middle of my palms while looking up to him."Enjoying the handsome view." I chuckled."You have to review this case file, Miranda.""Of course; I would, Selvantes."He smiled and leaned forward to kiss my forehead."Let's go on a date later okay?"I slowly smirked. "Miss me, huh?""Aba, saang banda? Heheheheheh, anyways I'll book the place later."
"GOOD morning,ladies and gentlemen. Calling the case of the People of the Philippines vs. Maple Santiago. Case number 18 00246 1." She stopped for seconds. "You may all sit down." She added. "Are both sides ready?" The Judge first remark. "Yes, Your Honor." The trial started in an instant. "Please, read the charge." The Judge added, the Prosecutor stood up. "On July 12, 2018, at 8 p.m., the Defendant, Maple Santiago accused the Victim Liam Cunanan of rape and abuse while staying at a luxurious hotel. She threatened the Victim with a knife found in a hotel's mini kitchen and then murdered him by stabbing him twice in the armpit and at the knee.

"The late Victim would habitually meet the Defendant in a luxurious hotel to eat or date, giving an impression that
"GOOD morning, Ma'am. Table for?" The staff greeted me. I gave a small smile. "I'm here under the reservation of Lake Mancini." "Allow me to guide you, Ma'am." I nodded and followed the staff while my eyes is roaming around the restaurant. Trying to familiarize myself. "This way, Ma'am." The staff smiled and pointed a door. Ah, a private room. "Thank you." I said, the staff thanked me as well before leaving. Before I open the door, I overheard their conversation. "Ang daming article's na sumasabog." "Maganda ang naging flow. Ang angas ng Abogado na iyon." "Naka-broadast pa naman ito sa TV. Kaninong law firm kaya siya nagtratrabaho." "Pabida lang kasi 'yung Prosecutor." "Hala, bakit?" "Life insurance, 3 million dollars." They're talking abou
"GOODmorning, Attorney!" I smiled and greeted them too before going to my office. I looked like shit but presentable naman, but minabuti kong mag-shades muna kase tinamad ako mag-full make-up at ayoko ma-late sa first day ko sa firm. Galing ko talaga mag-English! Kaya ko binagsak ng professor ko eh. "Good morning, Attorney!" "Morning!" I keep walking until I reach my destination. Bagong renovate ang lumang office ko, mixture of gray and white. "Ganda ba?" Pagsulpot ng isang demonyo sa tabi ko. "Yeah." "Nemaiah, designed it. Maarte ka kasi sa design." He laugh. "It's perfect, but my coffee maker is missing." I calmly said and sat down to read some cases. "Give me two months." I looked up. "Are you serious?" "In two months
"I have an appointment at 4 p.m., make sure to note that." "Yes, Attorney." "Thanks, you may lea- wait! Give me 10 copies of this, 7 of this and 15 of this categorized them. You can go home by 7 p.m." I smiled at him. "Yes, Attorney." He smiled and immediately went out of my sight. I started reading while sipping my coffee. Today is the last trial, I wish it will be a good successful. I packed up my things and get my car keys. Binigyan ako ni Mancini ng sasakyan pagka-uwi ko dahil mahihirapan daw akong sumakay. Well good for me. I went straight to the court for my trial. Pinasa lang sa'kin 'to dahil last naman na. Babasahin lang naman ang magiging sintensya. "Is this the mighty Attorney Miranda?" When I heard my name called, I turned around right away. "Prosecutor Han!"
