BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR One More Piece.
"I am glad to have finally seen you." Alison wanted to roll her eyes, but she kept her cool. "You asked to meet with me, Ms. Rodrigo. Is anything the matter?" Alison's tone was polite, but guarded, and for a moment he watched the older woman's mile drop, before she regained composure. "Pardon my manners Alison," Mrs. Rodrigo said, gesturing for Alison to sit down. "And yes, there's something I want to discuss with you." Alison sat down, her eyes fixed warily on the older woman. "I know we didn't exactly get off on the right foot in the past," the woman started. "But for the sake of Travis, please let's put everything behind us and move on " The air around them suddenly thickened, as Alison wondered where the conversation was headed. Of course, she was not a fool. A part of her knew that beneath the surface, Mrs. Rodrigo still harbored the same disdain towards her...and nothing changed over the years. "I didn't like you when you first started dating Travis. I mean...your backgr

Alison stood outside the small bakery, the address scribbled on a piece of paper clutched in her hand, like a piece of treasure being hidden from crazy folks.The letters she had obtained relating to the three elite men had led her to this unassuming location. She took a deep breath, her mind racing with possibilities.Originally, she wouldn't go to this extent for a client, but Travis was more than a client, and although she tried to get her mind away, it kept drifting back to him and all their beautiful memories…The stolen kisses, the whispers which usually sounded as a subtle reminder that she was destined for exploits, their movie dates, although against his wish. Every memory of Travis she had was beautiful, and for that reason she was going to do anything to get him out of the mess he was in.As she pushed open the door of the bakery, a bell above it rang out, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafted through her nostrils, momentarily making Alison forget the reason she was t
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-23BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Thugs.
Alison's eyes darted around the room, searching for an escape..more like a distraction. But the thugs had her surrounded, their eyes gleaming with hostility.What were the chances she would successfully get out of there unharmed?"I...I don't have an entrance number," she stammered, trying to sound confident despite the fear creeping up her spine.The thugs exchanged skeptical glances, their faces slowly twisting into snarls. "You're not opposed to being here then," one of the growls took a step closer to Alison. "I didn't want to be here, I swear" she whispered, deciding to make an excuse as to why she was there..and maybe, just maybe they'd let her off the hook. "I wanted to ease myself.""Down here" another one scoffed. "Whatever happened to all the restrooms upstairs?"Alison's heartbeat accelerated as she tried to think of a way to figure the situation, as she backed away from the thugs, her eyes darting around the room for an escape. But before she could make her move, one of t

…And then, as the tension began to dissipate, Alison felt a pang of nostalgia, a sense of longing for what could have been. She glanced over at Travis, her eyes meeting him in a brief, charged moment.But as quickly as it had begun, the moment was over, lost in the rush of the wind and the darkness of the night. Alison turned away, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, what was the point of crying over spilled milk anyways, and wishing for what could have been that wasn't?She didn't fight for them enough, neither did Travis, now what?As they drove away from the scene, Alison quickly pulled out her phone and dialed the police department, reporting the illegal club behind the bakery. She provided them with as much detail as possible, including the location and the thugs who had attacked them.This was just the beginning, there was still more to come for the Elite men…and even if it was going to cost the last drop of her blood, she'd make them pay…After she hung up, Travis glanced over at

The police station was a flurry of activity, with officers scrambling to process the numerous arrests made at the club. Minutes ago, a report was made of the illegal club being run under the bakery and swiftly, the Cops went on to make the arrest.The gangs and members were being questioned and although it felt too difficult to be believed, it was quite apparent that none of them knew who the leaders and owners of the organization were, they were simply following orders from superior people and getting paid.Detective Jameson, a seasoned veteran of the force, who also doubled as a very close mutual friend of Alison and Travis, was tasked with leading the investigation. He'd been aware of all that was going on, even before Travis' matter was charged to court, so he understood how deep it was, he also knew that stinger forces were involved.He was determined to get to the bottom of the organization's inner workings and bring those responsible to justice.As the night wore on, the pol
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-24BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Second Trial.
The day of the second trial had finally arrived, and Alison was feeling slightly nervous and confused. She had spent countless hours preparing and gathering evidence, Justice Thompson wasn't an easy one, and he seemed particularly interested in this case.Despite her preparation, Alison just couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that lingered in the pit of her stomach.What if Judge Harold decided to upturn her evidence and rule against Travis?“You can do this, Alison,” she said to herself, staring at her reflection in the mirror, and just then, her aunt, Megan, showed up in her bedroom.Aunt Megan was the exact person she needed to see at that moment, there was just this aura that she carried around, that passed reassurance and peace of mind."Hey, sweetie," Megan waved, and walking fully into the room, she enveloped Alison in a warm hug. “I know this case means a lot to you…but how are you feeling?”Alison took a deep breath, not sure what to reply with. "Although I'm kind

CHAPTER 50"Based on the evidence presented, I find the defendant, Travis Rodrigo, not guilty of all charges," the Judge declared, his voice firm.The Judge's words echoed through the courtroom, as it fell dead silent .“I'll rise,” the judge said and stood to his feet, alongside everyone else in the courtroom, they bowed together too, before the judge headed back to his chamber.Travis let out a whoop of joy and swept Alison into a tight hug. Alison hugged him back, feeling a sense of elation and relief wash over her. She succeeded…once again she'd succeeded and won yet another case for her friend "We did it!" Travis exclaimed, his voice muffled against her shoulder.Alison laughed, feeling tears of joy prick at the corners of her eyes. "We sure did," she replied, her voice shaking with emotion. “I didn't think we could, honestly…Judge Thompson was a hard one.”When they finally broke apart, Alison's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the crowd of people gathered in the hallway

"Honestly, I can't be more glad that you agreed," Travis said to Alison with a broad smile, as he ate slowly from the food before him. "Considering the fact that you were the same person emphasizing on professionalism"Alison's face reddened in embarrassment as she looked away. "This is different Travis, I mean we are only celebrating our victory right?""Goody two shoes," he mocked, "there is always an excuse.”Alison heard him, and, of course, she was not going to let that slide...she was a lawyer for a reason.Alison's eyes widened in amusement as she set down her fork, locking her gaze with Travis's. "Coming from the cold, jerky CEO huh?" She wriggled her eyebrows and returned her gaze back to her food innocently."Oh so now you're playing dirty, huh!" Travis laughed, his deep voice resounding through Alison's head and reminding her of old times."Hey..don't get it twisted alright? Ssomeone has got to keep you on your toes, Mr. CEO," Alison grinned.The banter continued, and unlik

BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Taking The Advice.
Travis tried to trail Raquel, but she was nowhere to be found, apparently she had already gone too far.“Fuck!!” He groaned in annoyance, punching his steering and screaming his lungs out. “I've lost everything!”Before he could stop himself, tears began slipping down his eyes. He got to the side of the road and parked.“Why did I let it get to this point?” He asked himself, ruffling his hair in frustration and crying out. “Now she has gotten what she wanted and is nowhere to be found.”He tried to calm himself down but it just was not working out.‘why not just head home, hopefully you would meet her and explain everything.’ His subconscious mind suggested and Travis shook his head.“I fucked up already, what explanation is going to make sense to her?” He muttered, his eyes already red from crying and his fists bruised.Eventually, he decided to drive home, not knowing exactly what to expect, but hoping for the best nevertheless.The drive was rough, with Travis growing more emotiona
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Alison Leaves.
“What the hell is going on here?” Alison yelled in shock, and Raquel got off Travis thighs, deciding to play the victim.“Sweetheart, what is she still doing here? I thought you said you were no longer with her?” Raquel asked Travis, pointing at Alison and crying. “I should never have trusted you again in the first place.”“Alison, I swear I can explain.” Travis whispered getting off the couch and swiftly going over to hold Alison.“Don't touch me!” She snapped, slapping his hands off her. “I should have known that this is what you were up to when you suddenly woke up and created the idea that you were going to work from home.”“Cupcake, it's not what you think.” He said going on his knees. “I promise you, I was actually working from home.”“It can even be what I think, but what I saw Travis… this bitch was straddling you and you didn't even push her off, what is she even doing here? And what does she mean by you said we'd broken up?” Alison asked, feeling her feet grow cold then she
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Caught.
The notion that ‘time flies’ had never made more sense to Alison. Just like yesterday, she was fighting to get her son back, then she lost him, and now three months had passed already. She had finally embraced the fact that her Theo was gone and she was never going to see him again. Deep down, she was grateful to Travis, who had always been her knight in shining armor, walking her through every single stage of grief. She finally opened her heart to Karen, Megan and Carlos, letting them comfort her. Although Alison never believed the saying that ‘time heals’ she'd a testament to that. “You're awake?” Travis muttered with a small smile as Alison tried to sit upright. “How was your night?” “It was good, I mean… I slept well,” she replied and smiled back at him. Her gaze caught the time on her clock and she gasped. “It's 8am, already? I have to get to the office.” She said and swiftly got out of bed. “Wait, you're resuming, already? You sure you are ready?” Travis asked, with

“I can't keep watching her do that to herself.” Travis murmured, as he sipped from his drink at the bar. “It's been more than two weeks already, and she is still refusing to talk to or see anybody.”Oscar sighed and then patted Travis’s back softly. “You've got this boss. Although Miss Alison needs som time alone, you should be by her side, comfort her and and reassure her that you're always going to be by her side and she hasn't lost her only reason to live.”“I had no idea you were really good with advice.” Travis chuckled lightly, and took a sip of his drink. “She's extremely vulnerable at this moment, and I am too…it's difficult consoling her, when she keeps blaming herself for everything that has happened.”“The more reason you have to be there for her, help her get rid of the emotional trauma.” He said, his expression unreadable. “It's better that way, so she doesn't feel like she's alone.”“I'll try to do that, and I hope she'd finally agree to go out. I can't watch her in that
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Alison Mourns Theo.
Tears, pains, guilt, regrets and sorrows suddenly redefined Alison. It has already been a week since Theo's death, but to her it was no more that yesterday.Words of encouragement came in through one ear and went out through the other, leaving her drowning in despair and a walking shadow of her former self.“Where did I go wrong?” She asked no one in particular, as she sat alone in the room Theo spent his last week in. “Why do forces seem to be standing against my happiness? One moment, I'm at the verge of achieving my dreams, and the next minute, it's like everything has been turned upside down.”Travis who had been watching her from the door which was slightly ajar, shook his head in pity.“For how long will you keep doing this to yourself?” He finally asked. Alison didn't flinch despite how sudden his voice came, neither did she react, she just remained motionless, holding tightly onto Theo's bloodstained clothes, as if they were going to disappear if she let them go.She had ins

After running over Theo, the person behind the wheels smirked triumphantly and drove off without bothering to wait.When he had gotten to a reasonable distance away from them, he pulled the mask over his face revealing Spider.“Too bad, the little boy had to pay for the sins of his parents.” He repeated Raquel's words from the last time and then dialed her number.She answered on the first ring.“Hey spider, what's good? Did you succeed?” She asked, panic obvious in her voice.“You don't trust me?” He asked proudly. “To think that they made things easier for me, I didn't have to trail or…”“You're saying the kid is dead already, right?” Raquel cut him off impatiently. “Not yet, but with the level of harm I caused, I doubt he will survive it.” He reported.“Are you already on your way back here?” Raquel asked, and he could hear a hint of disdain in her voice.“Why asking?” He asked back.“Don't come back to the Cartel yet. Those people are smart enough, they would have you trailed and

**ONE WEEK LATER**“Travis, do you think I am a bad mother?” Alison asked, one morning before breakfast. She was seated before her mirror, staring at her expression, while Travis sat on the bed behind her, working on his laptop.“Where is this coming from?” He asked, clearly shocked by her question. “This is not about Theo, is it?”“It's him, and I just can't help it.” She muttered, then a tear slid down her eyes. “He does not seem happy, I have tried my best.”“He will come around very soon, it's not so easy moving away, and then blending in with new people just immediately, try to understand him.” Travis explained, keeping his laptop aside.“It's been a whole week already, Travis! I spent years praying for the day when he would finally be by my side, and call me mom without interruption. I longed to hold him in my arms and play with him…” she chocked on her tears, swallowing the bile that rose to her throat. “And now that I finally got the chance to do so, he isn't even happy.”“Hav
BILLIONAIRE'S LEGAL AFFAIR Reuniting With Theo.
Alison couldn't utter any words, not like she was overjoyed, or overwhelmed, she just didn't have the ability to react, especially not at that moment, What would she even say?She remained mute as she watched Bruno and his mum get led by the cops to a van, the one that was eventually going to drive them to jail.As they walked out, being led out like criminals, Alison couldn't stop staring, as a sudden feeling of guilt overwhelmed her.Was that all? The whole vengeance she spent so much time fighting for, was that everything or more was still ahead? It did not taste as sweet as she imagined it would, rather, it was bitter—You know the taste of bitterness that just keeps enveloping your taste buds, the more you keep sipping the more you yearn for more. That was exactly how she felt.She just stood there, no longer conscious of her environment or her achievements, all she could do was stare into space.“Hey, pretty lady! I told you, didn't I? I said you were going to make us proud, and
