THIRTY NINE
It's as if all this weirdness hasn't finished looming over her. Gabe Anderson was found dead in her locked room after drinking tea spiked with insect poison.
When found, the woman's mouth was filled with white foam and her face looked so pale it was almost white. Gabe Anderson's death momentarily shocked all of the trial participants, including the witnesses who previously claimed to still see Gabe chatting with them at breakfast this morning. The coroner has now brought Gabe's body for an autopsy along with tea and bug spray found in the backyard.
Hazel lay her head down in frustration on her desk when she heard her secretary's voice inviting someone into her room. But for now she refuses to meet anyone. She had to evict her guest from her room immediately because she needed to calm down for a moment and think.
"Your Honor Hayes."
Hazel lifted her head and didn't seem too interested in welcoming her guest who was a man, well-dressed, friendly, and so

"I didn't know you were going to kill Gabe." Under the shade of a dark tree and relying solely on lighting from a garden lamp three meters away, the two people talked to each other. Seriously speaking about Gabe's death which wasn't actually caused by suicide. One of them had planned the death to escape their crime which would soon be caught by law enforcement officials if Gabe was left alive to testify. "At first it wasn't." Amanda exhaled roughly and then looked at her interlocutor with sad eyes. “Gabe is my favorite maid. I have treated her like my own daughter. Moreover she has same smile like Anna if she were alive now. But I had to do it.” The man snorted. “Your impulsive actions invite another danger. The plan is in danger of failing. Especially with Calvin disappearing like a ghost, we can't rely on him to be the scapegoat anymore." "Sorry." Amanda looked down regretfully. This kind of life was not the life she wanted. She was forced t
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY ONE
The funeral service for the Duffals did not take place at the Duffal residence and was carried out directly at the Seattle Church for various reasons. The police in charge of the case argued that the Duffal family's funeral service would attract the interest of civil society as well as journalists, so it was better to hold the funeral at the Seattle church and hold social gathering for the Duffal family's friends or relatives at their mansion after the funeral was over.Hazel had already guessed that a crowd of curious civilians would meet her in front of the church this morning and she should have left earlier to avoid the crowds that packed the churchyard. But because she was too exhausted last night, she made a reckless decision that resulted in her getting stuck in the car because of the long line of people looking for a parking space as well as people walking around the main road carelessly.Time and time again she looked at her watch just to sigh and complain tha
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY TWO
The decision to leave the car and cell phone among the thick bushes in the middle of the forest is definitely not the right choice for someone who is driving alone in the forest. Especially when it was night. The decision to leave the car and walk to find a way out of the dark forest was exhausting. But this is a different story if someone who left the car in the middle of the forest is a fugitive who is being chased by all law enforcement officers in Seattle. Including the FBI agents who have become so irritated by his attitude that he has been a constant troublemaker at the bureau since he joined seven years ago. But of course apart from having the title of troublemaker and rebel who often angers his friends, even his superiors, Calvin has always been able to show his credibility as a responsible agent. None of the tasks assigned to him have ever failed. Even though these tasks always reap controversy from various parties, but at least the task will end well in the end. It
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY THREE
She was sure that if she woke up it wasn't a coincidence. Usually she would not easily wake up in a quiet and deserted state like this. But for another reason, tonight she woke up in her new apartment room when there should be no one here but her.Refusing to be too defensive, Hazel then straightened herself and lowered her legs slowly from under the warm blanket. She looked around the dark and lonely room. There wasn't anything suspicious in her room like that night. The night when Calvin suddenly sneaked into her room and covered her mouth until she was scared to death.This apartment room is so quiet and serene. A few hours ago before she decided to go to sleep, she had missed Emily's noisy chatter. Living in this apartment alone feels like living in a foreign place. Especially with a variety of new furniture that feels very unfamiliar. Everything gave a strange impression on her mind which had just finished cleaning three hours ago.Tucked her hair that dang
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY FOUR
Ignoring Hazel's cynicism, Calvin began his story with what little courage he had at the moment. He had not always been the kind of brave man who would easily be able to tell his past. If he is brave, he will not become an agent and decides to live in seclusion from the noise of the outside world which he thinks is too dangerous. He escapes from his miserable life to create a new life with new characters. Isn't he a coward? “The death of my parents left a deep wound, anger and fear in me. Even after the death of my parents I still try to live my life normally, but in fact I have never been free from that terrible shadow.” “You went to medical school,” Hazel snarled accusingly. She thought Calvin would just lie to her again with another boast. Having been lied to once—or maybe twice, wouldn't have caught Hazel off guard a third time. In her current sitting position that seemed so defensive, she was watching Calvin with piercing eyes filled with

Gulf of Mexico, 2014 Explosions broke out everywhere. Even though it was in the middle of a quiet and dark sea, the sound felt like the sound of lightning that kept on flashing without a break. Calvin felt this was the most failed operation he had ever experienced. If it wasn't for wanting to take revenge on Baron, he definitely didn't want to take part in the war of debacle that was followed by lawmen who only wanted to show off their strength. Look at the people who just an hour ago were joking and laughing loudly while vowing that after this they will party to celebrate their victory against the mafia. It seemed that their plan would never happen. Rado had just been shot dead by the enemy. The man who offered him scotch and roast chicken to celebrate their victory would in fact never wake up again to party. Instead, a party was held to honor him as a veteran who died on the battlefield. "Damn it! Catch got s
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY SIX
Hazel fell asleep with beautiful words filling her heart. Every cell in her body seemed to be vibrating madly because of Calvin. She repeatedly sighed Calvin's name in her sleep while thinking about the man's very warm embrace on her body. His stroked really amazing. The greatest part she ever had. But that was hours ago. Now that Hazel woke up, she was alone in her quiet and silent room. Just like yesterday when she entered this apartment for the first time, she couldn't feel any signs of life other than herself being left languishing. Her breath sounded louder in this silent room. She has been left for the second time. "Calvin." She knew the screams were in vain. Calvin had clearly left her after giving her a memory of a night that she would never forget. It seemed he had brought so much new color into her life that she had become so dependent on Calvin for a moment. Stroking the slightly wrinkled sheets next to her, Hazel wanted to convince herself
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY SEVEN
Pedro grinned sinisterly in front of a room he believed to be Emma and her husband's bedroom. This is interesting, he thought slyly. He would make it look as if Emma was murdered after having an all-out romance with him. But then his grin turned to surprise as a bullet suddenly shot fast towards his stomach and then into his heart until without realizing it, he had just fallen on the floor with blood starting to pool under his body. "Emma! Oh Lord!" shrieked Richmond in shock in the doorway. With galloping steps he immediately approached Emma and snatched his gun from Emma's hand who looked so satisfied that she had managed to kill the damn bastard who almost raped her. "I thought you'd let him be mine." “Huh, you’re less fast than me, Rich. Besides, he almost stabbed me with that damn knife." Emma snorted in disgust at Pedro who was still clutching the knife in his death. How tragic, she thought pitying the man. The man thought she was a weak woman w
