“Attorney! You cannot tell me what to say and not to say!” “I am your lawyer. You have to do as I say. Whatever you say, would be used against you in court. You can't just go about saying what comes to your mind, Mr. Marcus,” Carson yelled. “I am innocent!”“And I know that” Carson barked back. This particular client was the same person he had been discussing his issue with Nick. He cannot understand why this man doesn't want to listen.Of course, Marcus is innocent but his words… His anger is getting the best of him and if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, it might just lead him to eighteen months in prison.They both sat down back on their chairs and they breathed hard. They've been having the argument for the longest time now. The man just keeps letting his anger take over.“Trust me, if you don't keep your anger in check, we'll lose the case and it will be all your fault. I have never lost a case, do not let your case be the first I'll be losing” Carson stood up, and arranged the

“Good evening, Carson, you're pretty late,” Lydia said with a smile as she walked up to the man who had just stepped into the house. “Hm,” he replied as he handed over the briefcase to Lydia, who took it immediately. She could smell alcohol but more of a woman on him. She wondered if he had met up with someone.She looked up at him, she knows the smell so well because her husband is an expert in that field. There is no way she wouldn't know that the man had been with a woman.She moved backward, it wasn't her place to discuss such issues with him, so she buried it immediately. “Do you want to have your bathe now before you eat, or would you like to eat first?” She asked. When Carson didn't reply to her, she said, “Actually, everyone has gone to sleep. I was waiting for you, so I could get you something to eat before you sleep. That's the reason I am asking, should I heat the food?” Her eyes stared squarely at Carson. “Okay, I'll like that, thank you” he replied before going to his

“And what?” George asked as he landed her another slap, causing her to fall to the ground. “You think you're smart, I've told you times without number, Lydia. A woman's world is in the bedroom and the kitchen. You don't listen, do you?” Lydia crawled backward as George made his way further towards her. The marks of his fingerprinted clearly on her cheek. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks, “Do you think you can come to my office as you like it, huh?” He barked as he kicked her harshly.“I'm sorry” she murmured softly as she whimpered, but he ignored her apology. “Tell me why you came to my house. Tell me now!” “I… I… wanted to bring… you food”. George held Lydia by the chin and raised her face to look at him, “Really? To give me food…” he pushed her hard, causing her to fall backwards again. He went to squat in front of her, “This should be the last time you'll step your feet in my office, else, you'll eat your own flesh!” ****Knock****Lydia snapped out of her thought,

“Is something going on here?” Carson asked as he stepped out of his study with the tie in one hand and his briefcase in the other.“No” Marian quickly answered before Lydia could even open her mouth. Lydia looked at her with amusement dancing in her eyes. She could clearly see how the girl was looking down as she bit her lower lip. A wide smile spread on her lips, “Lydia?” Carson called with a raised brow, “Did something happen?” He asked and Marian snapped her head to look at Lydia. She could see the girl begging desperately with her eyes, making her wonder whether Carson knows the hidden feelings of his employee for him. “No, nothing” Lydia replied with a grin. When Carson opened his mouth wanting to ask more about it, she walked closer to him,“Let me help you with your tie” She took the tie from Carson and helped him knot it. As she works on it, Carson stared at her, still amused at how someone this beautiful was being maltreated by her husband. “About today…” he drawled and

The moment Lydia stepped into the car, Carson said, “Lydia, I'm not your driver. Come sit at the front”. She wanted to argue, but decided against it. She had actually saved the sit for Marian, but since Carson insisted, she made her way to the front passenger's seat. Immediately, Lydia sat on the chair and began to walk on her seat belt, Carson turned the engine on,“Huh, aren't you waiting for Marian?” She asked and Carson shook his head. “There's no time anymore I have to appear in court by 11 am” Lydia looked at the time, it was 10 am. She watched as Carson drove the car out of the compound, and Marian hasn't still shown up till they disappeared. Lydia shook her head, Marian will be really angry at her. She'll blame her, definitely. When Marian came out of the house, she sighted the car as it moved out of the compound. She saw Lydia sitting comfortably in the front passenger's seat,“Lydia, you think you can sit in the front seat as you like and ask Carson to drive off witho

“Alright, here I go,” Lydia said with a nervous smile. The car just parked in front of George's company. “Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?” Carson asked her with a tilted head. “Yes, I'll be fine. Besides, I don't want to be a burden”“You're not” Carson replied, “It's my duty as your attorney, you know” “There's no case yet, and I hope there won't be” Carson chuckled, “I have met George only twice, and it looks like I know him better than you”“Why do you say that?” She asked.“George is a proud man. He has more confidence in his money than any other thing. He will dare not agree to a woman. He will never subject” he explained. “Let's hope you are wrong since I don't want to be much of a bother,” Lydia said and Carson breathed out a small laugh “That night I found you on the bridge, I made it clear to myself and to you that I'll help you. I didn't know why, I have never helped someone who isn't family before, but when I made promises to help you, it wasn't just

Lydia let out a chuckle,“Sign the papers, George. That's the only reason I'm here”. “Are you sure?” George asked in a low voice before adding, “With the way you're dressed, I can hardly believe that didn't come for something more. Lydia, I can let all these stay in the dark, you know, we can always forget something like this ever happened”Lydia shook her head as her mind flashed back to what Carson had said earlier. She wonders if the man has the gift of seeing vision. Wanting to see what George had in mind, she asked, “So, what are you insinuating?” “Let's forget the past, tear the divorce paper, tell that fucking lawyer you don't want to go on with that plan anymore and that you have a better one” “Which is?” She asked and George grabbed her by the waist. “That you want to come back to me. That you still love me. Don't you miss how I make you feel in bed, Lydia” he asked and Lydia giggled, “Mr. George Martins,” she called as she gently stepped back from him, taking his han

Marcus, Carson's client, has not stopped thanking him since the court announced him not guilty. He had actually thought he would lose the case and be sentenced to years in prison. Not until Carson came with some solid proof that Marcus didn't do any of what he was accused of. This shut the other lawyer's mouth immediately. “Thank you so much, Attorney. I don't know what I'll do to ever repay you for this great help,” he said as he shook hands with Carson. “I'll suggest you be good and calm from now on. I mean, you literally made me a fool sometimes, don't let your mouth or pride put you in double trouble. Your anger should be checked along with how you run your mouth in public” Carson advised. The funny thing was, Marcus kept nodding his head obediently. He has seen that he was supposed to rot in jail if not for Carson. “I'll keep that in mind from now on,” Marcus said before Carson excused himself. Walking out of the building, he made his way back to the office. “Good afternoo
