TWENTY EIGHT
Water from the shower rained down on Calvin as soon as he entered the shower cubicle after removing all his clothes and storing them neatly in the closet. Calvin closed his eyes for a long time under the warm water that flowed down from his head, then his face, until it ended under his feet. He hadn't felt this calm in a long time. Calmness that can really make his body relax and not feel anxious. But he did not forget that he was still a fugitive. Until he finds the evidence to uncover The Witness' identity and find the real killer, he will still be Seattle's most wanted fugitive.
As he rubbed the bar of soap all over him, Calvin thought of Hazel. No sound was heard from the woman outside. Maybe she ran away while he was taking a shower. His voice echoed softly, but he refused to believe it. They've been together so far. It's gone so far to have to sacrifice a lot. The woman had to sacrifice her kid to be left at the government shelter. After this he could not interfere wit

Hazel jumped up with a dazed expression on her face. It took her a few seconds to realize where she was. She was about to scream Emily's name before she realized she was in a motel with Calvin waiting for the storm to subside outside. But the strange silence caused Hazel to straighten herself on the bed, observing the silence around her. I’m alone? He tried to contain the panic that was starting to soar in her mind. Fear haunted her until now she felt sick to her stomach. Gastric acid immediately filled the empty stomach cavity. And before things got any worse, she began to close her eyes and count from one to ten to calm her panic-stricken heart. She couldn't panic, she cried to herself. Calvin couldn't left her. The man might be going out for coffee or getting something in the car. For five minutes Hazel mumbled to herself like a madman to calm her chaotic mind. After that she immediately went to the bathroom to clean herself. She hoped tha

As usual, she did the things that needed to be done and picked up every incoming call for her boss. But for the past three days, she feels that her work is so boring. Incoming calls actually always come and go to just convey their concern for what happened to her boss. But without the presence of her beautiful and kind boss, this office feels empty. Eden missed Hazel so much and hoped that she would soon return to work as usual. "You must be her secretary." Eden lifted her head from the brightly lit computer screen. Behind the thick-rimmed glasses, she saw a man in a police uniform and badges pinned to his uniform staring at her with a sharp and impatient look. Then behind the policeman's body, hidden another policeman whose facial expression looks friendlier than the first policeman she saw. "Yes, my name is Eden Burke." "I know." Pointing to the nameplate in front of her desk, the grim policeman said, “It's listed here. I wonder where Judge Hazel Ha

The sound of tires stomping on gravel creaked loudly as Calvin's car pulled into Hazel's house in mountain area. Inside the quiet house, there are many flower pots that are still very well maintained and also emit a fragrant aroma. From Hazel, Calvin knew that the pots were still being cared for by a neighbor who was not as close as he imagined. Hazel's closest neighbor was four hundred meters to the west. While on the east side, the house is bordered by a vast wheat field which looks stunning when the gentle breeze begins to blow this afternoon. "I didn't think that a great judge like you would actually be a mountain woman." Hazel knew he was going to make fun of her, but she chose to ignore it by walking over to the doormat at the front door to retrieve the house key that had been there for years. "Sorry, maybe this didn't live up to your expectations." "What?" "This house." Calvin immediately swept his gaze across the modest house w

"Ms. Emma, I found this flower among the bushes.” "Wow, that’s beautiful flower Jordan." Emma smiled gently at the blond boy whose cheeks were rosy from the sun. But even though it's hot, outdoor activities always make the kids happy. They seem to be able to express themselves more freely. And most importantly they can run here and there to be closer to nature. Emma is always happy to see their joy. It made her heart filled with boredom from her bland married life become better. They really are a great antidote to her broken heart. "This is for Ms. Emma." A little girl shyly gave Emma a pink flower that grew wildly around the hospital garden. Appreciating the little girl's sincerity, she then crouched down and took the flower gratefully. “Beautiful flower, Emily. Thanks very much." “This flower is like Ms. Emma. Ms. Emma makes me miss mommy." Emma frowned as she stroked the girl's head gently. Not all children

Calvin turned to her with a furrowed brow. Just now the woman said something that sounded a little different from their previous plan. While still concentrating on the fairly busy street in front of him, he asked Hazel one more time to confirm the woman's words. "You were sayin’ about? Tacoma?” "Yes. Take me to Tacoma. I want to stay overnight there. You don't mind, do you?" "No. Actually we still have plenty of time, so I'm pretty relaxed. Just what are we going to Tacoma for?” He was starting to think that Hazel had gotten carried away with him these few days that she wanted one more stopover that had absolutely nothing to do with their plans. But is Hazel really that kind of woman? He doubted she had that thin of a defense against a man's charm. If she wasn't a tough woman, she would have had another lover or partner after Rick. So of course this is definitely not that. "Katrina. I want to go there to see her house. I haven't been t
DESPERATE LOVE THIRTY FOUR
Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little embarrassed when she felt the man's gaze on her several times when they were in the same car like this. Pedro is a kind and gentle man. His past with his wife who has cancer makes Emma feel sympathy for the man. These days Pedro often comes to the park, where she takes care of the children. He showed a very high interest in the children who were busy running here and there. Sometimes Pedro also helps her to put the kids in order when it's nap time. Even though he only had thirty minutes to visit the daycare, it felt like it meant more than anything to Emma. Pedro's attitude indirectly shows real sincerity. Compared to other people with a style that is too pretentious, Pedro looks much better with his attitude that is still willing to make time in the midst of his busy schedule as a businessman. "This is your house?" "Yes, this is my house." Tucking a strand of her hair that hung down the side of her face, Emma thanked
DESPERATE LOVE THIRTY FIVE
With hasty and galloping steps, Emma walked over to the terrace to see Richmond's clearly disorganized state. Behind her Pedro followed at a more relaxed pace and seemed unconcerned. Because of that man, his chance to seduce Emma has failed. His intention to kill Emma also failed. But that's okay, he'll try again tomorrow. After all, he had more chances to snare Emma as long as the useless man remained indifferent to his wife. "Who is he, Em? Argh damn my back!” The man cursed as he tried to climb the stairs to the terrace. Several times he seemed to be rubbing his own back which Emma didn't know what was behind her husband's painful body? Which caused her husband to look that angry. “This is Pedro, one of the donors at my workplace. Are you okay, Rich?” "Do I look okay?" said Richmond curtly as he turned around. "Look at my back, did that damn bastard manage to make a hole at my back?" Emma hesitantly approached and checked her husband's stra

Suddenly today the courtroom was thrown into an uproar by Hazel's sudden decision to ask for a hearing date to be moved forward. Her firm stance and determined determination made it impossible for anyone to stop her from adjourning the trial until tomorrow morning. In just an hour, all the preparations for the trial had been done. The witnesses had also been summoned to appear in court, one hour before the sudden preparations were made. Hazel, who had just entered the courtroom, looked satisfied to see the sudden preparations made by her staff. She regretted that this had to be done now, but she had no other choice but to do it. This trial must be done immediately before something bad happens. Especially with Richmond showing up last night at Katrina's house, it would really make her plans with Calvin worse. But while she had her trial today, the man would be busy looking for Calvin all over Seattle. "Is everything ready? The witnesses?" Hazel asked o
