Alison stood by Travis’s hospital bed in silence. She was glad that she was able to save him in time.

Now, she realized even more how intense the trial was and how whoever it was wanted him dead.

She turned to Travis, whose eyes were now close. He was exhausted from the incident that almost took his life. Of course, he needed to rest.

She opened her phone and called Oscar. As soon as he picked up, she immediately went straight to the point.

"Hi, Oscar. Mr. Rodrigo needs your attention immediately. Come to Medic Hospital, ward number 34."

Immediately the call hung up, she turned to Travis.

“I’ve called Oscar,” Alison said. “He will be here soon.”

Travis’s eyes flicked to her, his gaze resting on her.

“Thank you,” he murmured, his voice dry and hoarse.

"Sit up," she said to him, passing him a bottle of water.

“Mr. Rodrigo!” Oscar exclaimed, striding to the bed. “Jeeze, are you okay? What happened?”

Travis shook his head slightly. “I don’t remember much,” he admitted, not wanting to th

    Megan beckoned on her to have a seat next to her."Well, I made some money from Margaret," she said, wearing a sly smile.Although Alison did not fully understand what she meant, she smiled at the mention of Margaret's name.She was eager to know the whole story, so she moved closer."What do you mean you made some money from Margaret? How?" She asked."Well, remember when I told you I got into a little car bump, it was Margaret's car. Apparently, I deliberately made her hit my car, and then, I asked for her insurance details," Megan explained."You did what? Do you know how much that would cost you?" Alison exclaimed, widening her eyes."Calm down, will you?" Megan said, "I know her type. She would not want to look low in front of others. I mean, she would rather have someone be at her mercy than be the one. Even if she had given me her insurance details, there was nothing I could do, of course. So, she decided to compensate me after I threatened to take the matter out."Megan smiled

    The murmurs would not stop increasing. All lips whispered Alison's name, and her silence even made them more curious."The queen of justice came without her client? Isn't that a ridiculous move?" "I'm sure Travis planned this accident, because he is afraid of being sentenced to jail." "I know right? I can't say it's a coincidence. Why would the prosecutor want him dead, anyway? When he is only trying to expose his bad deeds to the public?" "I knew it! His company was so good to be true. In just a few years, the company made a lot of profits and other achievements. Now, I know how it got to this point." Alison could hear the whispers behind her, but of course, she pretended not to. Her head was held up high, and she looked forward to the judge's seat, acting like he was a statue molded to that seat.Soon, the door opened from the front side, near the judge's seat, and a man cladded in a black robe and cap walked in.Judge Harold strode in, his presence commanding respect.

    The tension in the courtroom was thick. The courtroom erupted in whispers and gasps as Travis Rodrigo walked in. His appearance was unexpected, given the trending news that he was badly injured. No one had expected him to make such a grand opening.He held his head high as he made his way to the defendant's desk.The game was really going as planned. Alison looked at him, wearing a smile on her face. He sat next to her, arranging his suit, leaning on the chair like nothing actually concerned him.“You made it,” she whispered as he took his seat.Travis adjusted his cufflinks and gave her a light chuckle. “You didn’t think I would leave you to fight this alone, did you? Of course, I need to finish the game.”“I was starting to wonder if you had given up,” Alison replied, lowly. “I’ve been dodging the reporters all morning. You have stirred up quite a storm, you know? Everyone is literally talking about you.”“Well,” Travis said, leaning slightly closer, “let’s hope we can clear it u

    Alison stepped out of the car. Throughout the ride, her mind was racing with different thoughts.She needed to get her son out of their cage. She wondered how her son was faring, and it hurt her that she was unable to protect her son. She paused in front of the mall, looking up at the cloudy sky, her thoughts drifting back to Theo, even though she tried her best to focus. Her son’s face had been etched into her mind ever since she had heard Bruno's statement. "Flog him until he bleeds". A mother’s instinct told her something was not right, and she needed to find a way out as soon as possible. She took a few groceries she needed to buy and made payments. She headed out to the parking lot, where she dumped the bags in the back seat.However, she was not heading home immediately. She needed to act fast. So, she made her way to the police station.When Alison arrived, she walked into the station and saw some familiar faces. She felt a wave of nostalgia hitting her as she recalled t

    Bruno slammed the door shut as he entered his mansion. He hated the fact that he was not able to get a hold of Alison. He wanted her to be that submissive and obedient person she was before. The echo of the door reverberated through the hallway, drawing the attention of his wife, Rachel, who stood beside the table, with a plate of fruits in her hand. She was shocked as she heard the loud bang, her head swinging towards the door, where Bruno stood."Bruno," she called softly, walking towards him. "You are home earlier than I expected."Bruno did not respond immediately, his gaze wandered around the house as if he was looking for something or someone.“Where is Theo?” he asked, his eyes roaming the house.Rachel wondered what was wrong with him, but she replied, anyway. “He is in the study, with his tutor.”Bruno’s face darkened as if he was not expecting that response. “Tutor?”“Yes,” she replied firmly, her eyes gazing at him innocently. “He has been taking lessons. He is doing well

    Bruno turned his body, letting out a groan. He held his head, as he felt dizzy.He tried to sit up straight but ended up hitting his head on the headrest of the bed."Argh," he groaned, trying to keep his eyes open, but his vision was blurry.“You alright there, Bruno?” Black asked, swirling his own drink casually in his hand. Bruno blinked hard, trying to focus. “I’m fine,” he muttered, although the words came out very slow.He dragged a chair closer and took a seat, leaning back. One of his men brought in a tray, and he picked up a big stick of cocaine and took a drag.Black chuckled, leaning forward and taking a sip. “Good, good. You have been working too hard, my friend. A little relaxation never hurt anyone, and I suppose you are already feeling the satisfaction.”Bruno nodded, even though he did not understand what Black was talking about. The room felt warmer and thicker, making him feel like he was suffocating. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first button of the shir

It was really complicated, and the more she dug into the case, the deeper she fell into it.It was deeper than what she had imagined, and now, she was unable to get out of it. She was too tired to open the file. She picked herself up, heading to the bathroom.After spending a long time in the bathroom, she came out in a towel and walked across the room to the dressing room, where she sat to do her night skincare."What is a beautiful and intelligent lawyer without skincare," she whispered to herself, opening the bottle.After applying the skincare, she took her bag away from the sofa and placed it on the table. She made her way to the kitchen and fortunately, there was still a canned noodles left in the fridge.She took it out and put it in the microwave

    Monday morning dawned bright and early, but Alison's mood was far from sunny. The events of the weekend still lingered in her mind, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. She knew she couldn't face Travis at the office, not after their steamy weekend together and what had transpired between them. So, she picked up her phone and dialed Karen's number. "Hey, girl, what's up?" Karen's response was bubbly as she answered on the first ring. “It's Monday again..” "Not much, Karen. I'm just not feeling too well today," Alison said, trying to sound as convincing as possible, although her voice was already betraying her. Karen's tone immediately turned concerned. "Oh no, what's wrong? Do you need me to come over? Have you gone to the hospital?” Alison quickly waved off the offer. "No, no, I'll be fine. Just need to rest a bit, that's all." Karen wasn't buying it, but she promised not to pry. "Okay, if you're sure you're okay... But if you need anything, don't hesitate to ca

    Theo looked up at Alison, his innocent eyes filled with a mix of sadness and curiosity. "Mommy, I asked Daddy yesterday why you weren't living with us anymore," he said, his voice trembling."And what did Daddy say?" Alison aske, expecting the worst since she was so sure Bruno hated her."He said it was adult stuff, and that you and him couldn't live together under the same roof again," Theo whispered, knotting the hem of his mother's shirt.Alison took his small hands in hers, and led him to sit down. "Theo, sweetie, Mommy and Daddy love you very much, but sometimes grown-ups can't live together anymore and at that point, the worst thing that can be done is to force things..""Why can't you come back, Mommy?" Theo asked, his voice cracking. “All of my friends have their both parents living in the same room, while I have just dad and granny and Aunt.”"Because, baby, sometimes things don't work out between grown-ups," Alison explained again. “But we all love you and there's no doubt

    Alison's eyes scanned the crowded park, her heart racing with fear. She had been searching for what felt like hours, but she couldn't find who she was looking for anywhere."Theo!" she screamed, her voice hoarse from shouting. "Theo, where are you?"But there was no response. Instead, she heard the sound of laughter and chatter from the other people in the park, and the rustling of leaves in the trees.Alison's eyes scanned the playground, her gaze lingering on the swings and the slide. She saw a little boy with curly brown hair climbing up the ladder, but it wasn't Theo.She saw a woman with a stroller walking towards her, but as she got closer, Alison realized it wasn't Theo's stroller.Panic set in, and Alison started to run. She dashed across the playground, her eyes scanning the crowds, but she couldn't see Theo anywhere."Theo!" she screamed again, her voice echoing across the park. "Theo, please answer me! Don't do this to momma, I love you with my life.”Just as she was starti

    Bruno walked through the front door, excitement radiating from his very being. He had just had an incredible day, getting back his club on the same day and still getting more people to invest in his empire just when he thought he would go bankrupt was enough to make him go crazy with excitement.But as he entered the living room, he was met with a surprise. His wife Sarah was sitting on the couch, her arms crossed and a scowl on her face, as she tapped her feet against the floor impatiently."Where have you been?" she demanded, her voice dripping with venom. “You step out in the morning and see the time you're just getting back. Is it fair?”Bruno hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He didn't want to get into a fight with Rachel, not when he was feeling so happy, but she was pushing him and he knew that sooner than later he might have to react."I was just out," he said vaguely, trying to brush past her.But Rachel was not having it. She had had enough of just being that wife whose

    Travis sat on his couch, staring blankly at the wall as he tried to process the events of the past hour. Alison had left his house in tears, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a terrible mistake…his mum had done what she loved to do best once again.He couldn't think straight, his mind racing with thoughts of Alison and what he could have done differently. He needed someone to talk to, someone who could help him make sense of everything, or at least help him to check on Alison.He pulled out his phone and dialed Karen's number. Karen was the only person who came to his mind, she was one close friend of Alison. He hoped that she could provide some insight into what was going on with Alison."Hey, Karen," Travis said, trying to sound calm. "I need your help. Alison just left my house in tears, and I have no idea what's going on. Can you go check on her?"Karen's voice was sympathetic on the other end of the line. "Of course, boss. I'll go check on her right away. But c

    Alison pulled over at the driveway and after getting her stuff, she dragged herself out of her car, heading towards her apartment, her feet heavy with the weight of her emotions. She had just left the most intense and confusing encounter with Travis, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of vulnerability that lingered within her. Was asking him for space too much?And why did it seem like the entire universe was against her union with Travis.As soon as she closed the door behind her, Alison let out a sob, allowing the tears she had been holding back to flow freely. She collapsed onto the couch, burying her face in the pillow as she cried uncontrollably.“You'll scale through, Alison, just like always, and this time you'd be better,” she muttered to herself and wiped the tears that were already slipping out of her eyes. “You've got this..”Just as she thought she was alone in her misery, Alison heard a gentle knock on the door. At first she ignored it, but the knock persisted, and

    “Your wife, Rachel, has been seeing someone from the enemy's camp. Be careful, else you'd be a victim sooner than you expect.” The strange woman's voice echoed in Bruno's head. He focused on his target, his fingers steady as he released the arrow. It soared through the air, hitting the bullseye with precision. He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction.Since his argument with Rachel, he went into his private lounge to play archery…and as expected, it has done a whole lot in improving his mood.Just as he was about to take another shot, his phone rang, breaking the silence. He hesitated for a moment before answering it."This is Bruno," he said, his voice deep and commanding. “Who is on the line?”"Bruno, it's Enzo. I need to see you at the lounge. It's urgent," the voice on the other end said, sounding excited. “At least in the next one hour, try to be here.”Bruno raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's going on?" he asked. “You sound quite excited.”"Just get here, Bruno

    What other way should a married woman, fighting for her marriage wake up, other than in her husband’s arms, safe and sound…Rachel laid curled in Bruno's arms as they conversed, notwithstanding the fact that it was barely 7 am in the morning.“When we finally start having kids, I want daughters as gorgeous and caring as you are.” Bruno said patting her hair fondly as they lay in bed, her soft breathing, a soothing soundtrack to his morning.“And if they would be sons, I want boys, who would be as handsome as you.” Rachel whispered, and stared in his eyes, he was also staring into her eyes with so much affection.Rachel looked away from his eyes shyly, using her hands to knot the hemp of his shirt as she said. “I want three kids," she paused, her breath filling the quiet room only disturbed by the soft sounds of their breaths and the air conditioner. "Two boys and a girl."Bruno chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I think we should have four," he said, his voice teasing. "Tw

    Alison's nerves were on edge as she stood in the kitchen, holding onto Travis's hands.She did not, in her wildest imagination, think that Mrs. Rodrigo would walk into such scene, now what?“Good Morning, ma'am.” She greeted and while waiting for Travis's mother to acknowledge her, her nervousness heightened. Travis, oblivious to the tension, smiled and greeted his mother warmly."Hey, Mom! What brings you here today?"Mrs. Rodrigo's gaze darted between Travis and Alison, her expression unreadable. Without responding to Alison’s greeting, she turned and walked away, leaving Alison feeling uneasy and Travis looking concerned."Mom, wait up!" Travis called out, following after her.Alison hesitated for a moment, then decided to eavesdrop on the conversation between mother and son. She crept closer to the passage, trying not to be seen."Mother, what's going on?" Travis asked, his voice firm but respectful.
