2022-05-07 20:00:00"Wow, so you mean you're going to be taking cases on your own!?" Ria's mouth was gaped open.
"Yeah, my senior associate told me that I am ready to handle a case now," Sofia smirked, remembering the time her senior associate shook his head and informed her helplessly.
"I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks, so.. enough about me and let's come to you." Sofia leaned forward, making Zaria freak out internally.
"How was it?" She glanced around sneakily, her nosiness as high as the peak of Mount Himalaya as she stared at Zaria with a lawyer's vision.
"What?"
"You know what I'm talking about, Princess."
"No, I don't." Ria instantly put up a defensive barrier around her.
"Yes, you do. Come on, spill the beans!"
"I still don't get you." Zaria crossed her arms forming an 'X', not saying anything.

"Ria..." Nanny Mary looked at her, concerned."It's nothing. I should verify with mom and dad first." Zaria smiled lightly, though her heart heavy with uneasiness."Child, how are you? Is something the matter?"Madam Anderson was surprised when she received a call from Zaria. Nevertheless, she was happy because she had heard the very good news yesterday.'I can't wait to hold my grandchildren.'"Mom, ...I'm fine?" Zaria nervously clenched the cell phone in her hand, her voice filled with apprehension as well as her answer came out to be a rather question instead.Madam Anderson's glee expressions changed."What happened, dear?? Why do you sound so anxious?"? Master Anderson, who had just come to sit with his wife, heard this and turned to his wife questionably wondering what had happened."Is Elian there with you...? He h

"Why isn't she waking up?" Madam Anderson was sitting on the edge of the bed. She was as nervous and afraid as ever as she clasped Zaria's hand."Maybe this is because Young Madam Ria didn't have dinner last night. She told me she didn't have an appetite and that she would cook for herself and Young Master. I shouldn't have listened to her." Nanny Mary felt remorse when she gazed at Ria who still had not gained consciousness.It was so scary when Zaria passed out so abruptly. It reminded her of Mia Anderson who collapsed some months ago and dreadful news of her having a brain tumour was heard, spreading agony in the hearts of people."It's okay, Nanny Mary. You don't need to blame yourself." Madam Anderson responded and turned to Master Anderson, "Darling, should we call a doctor? I can't bear to see my princess like this."Just when Master Anderson was about to say something,

Shut. He gently closed the door.Mason was still smiling when a running Jessica Miller met him outside the Major's room. She looked like she had covered a huge distance coming to him."You... did something happen when you were there?"Mason did not answer and kept staring at her. After a minute passed, he smiled widely and launched himself at Jessica who pushed his face away."You care for me! You do care for me!"Mason did not care about anything now. What world? His wife was enough."Shut up. Did my father do anything to you?" Her eyes were sharp, but a tint of concern could be seen in her flustered face as she kept analysing him from head to toe. "We just had some men talk," Mason scratched his neck, his eyes showing playfulness. "You don't...""Jess, you need to relax. Our father isn't some monster." Mason grabbed Jessica's shoulders. "He's my father." Jessica rectified him. "In no time, he will be mine, too." Mason playfully winked at her. "Let's go." It was no use fighting

"Hello, my little friends." Zaria Smith smiled as she approached her flowers in her lovely garden and started watering them.Who would have thought that the girl who could not live peacefully without seeing her flowers for even one day, would see her little babies after so long?'It has been a long time.' "We told the gardener to water them daily, so you don't need to worry about these." Hearing Madam Anderson's word, Zaria turned around and brightly smiled. "They are being gently taken care of.""Thank you so much, mom." "It's okay, dear. You don't need to thank me. We all are aware of how much these flowers are important to you." Zaria and her mother-in-law were walking in the garden with light steps when Madam Anderson abruptly stopped, "Ria, I'm not trying to be meddlesome, I just want to know that is there something terrible happening between you two which John and I don't know of?"Zaria bit her lips. She knew who was her mother-in-law referring. "I know it is between you,

"You're just bluffing." The man scowled.'Yes, this is what she is doing. She's trying to make me accept that. I will never agree.' "What did I do that you're this ticked off, Mr Saltzman?" Me Saltzman's face went pale and his throat dried. Sofia Brown knew how to make someone shut up."Oh, wait. Maybe I know." Sofia stopped herself. "Your Honor, if you permit me, I would like to throw some light on the prospects people have on Mr Saltzman.""Permission granted." Judge Edward nodded seriously. He was curious about how this little girl was going to handle such a situation like this. "It's not me but the comments of people, okay? Don't mind," Sofia innocently coaxed and the man had a sudden premonition, "It is said that you're a douchebag who has played with numerous women and was seen having affairs in hotels by the people every night even though you have a wife at home. "Eleven r*pe cases have also been filed against you. Plus, you are accused of using bribery in your business an

"Heh, you thought being me out of the country would put a lit on your sins?" Mrs Saltzman's voice was cold and Mr Saltzman broke out in a cold sweat.And to think she lived a whole decade with a despicable man like this who had been hiding his true self just to get his hands on her money. How did she not see his true face under that dotting flattery mask all these years?"Honey, let me explain... It's really nothing. This woman was seducing me and kept telling me to leave you, but I refused her. I did nothing wrong. These are all false allegations. Please, believe me." Mr Slatzman's voice was persuading. However, his voice lacked sincerity. If it were the past, Mrs Saltzman would have been convinced by his words and instead would wrongly find faults in others.Mrs Saltzman glanced at the frightened girl who was trembling like a child who had been surrounded by dangerous criminals. As if on instinct, the girl made eye contact with her and pleaded with her eyes silently."Really? Then

The female replied.The man started laughing, "Justice? Is this even present nowadays? Miss Brown, you and I both know that the world doesn't work like this. We yield to the one who is superior to us and you know the rest already.""Did you do that to her?" "Yes, so what? I gave her an offer, but she chose to refuse. I had no choice but to do that to her, but does it really matter? The point is you'll not be able to win this and nobody could before you. How about working with me? I possess more wealth than anyone could ever imagine. Step down from this case, and you can't imagine the amount you will be given ." "What about your wife?

"Sofia, so you have finally decided to leave this house for good?" A loud voice sounded in the room, and soon the smashing of objects followed. Her little sister, Abigail winced. To her, it was a norm. Her mother's hysteria, coercion, and in the end, her guilt. Abigail sighed. She knew what the outcome would be if she let it continue. "Yes, I want to leave, and I will leave." Sofia was hell-bent. One of the reasons she wanted to escape was this. Ever since he left, her mother was never the same. For years, she tried to get her mother to accept reality.

"Excuse me, Miss?" Someone shook her. Blinking her eyes open, she was greeted by a man in a white coat. She was a little dazed."Huh?"The light was encircling the place when she came to her senses completely and moved her neck which hurt. Sleeping in a chair and that too on a cold night with no blanket made her body freeze in some places.Albeit the area she was in was a secluded corner– away from the hospital, still, she could hear the faint bustling of people, the stomping of their hurried feet, and the sounds of wheelchairs screeching on the floor.Last night it was all too quiet that she forgot she was in a hospital and slept. One short nap became a thorough sleep and the long night evolved into a day.Her phone buzzed.Mumbling an 'excuse me', she checked her phone to see 6 missed calls from home and got worried."Hello?""Ria, we're trying to reach out to you but you weren't answering."

Zaria Smith knew the moment she saw this woman named Christina Norman, she was going to be a thorn in her relationship with Elian. For 3 days, Zaria did not see Elian and Christina. She had no idea what they were doing. As she passed by the hallway, she heard the low whispers of the servants, their eyes following her and observing her moves as if she were a criminal who had done a heinous crime. Were they blaming her for Christina's state? Was it Ria who forced Christina to eavesdrop on her conversation with her husband, Elian Anderson? Deep in her thoughts, she did not realise she had bumped into Sebastian. Startled, Zaria shook her head, her mind disturbed. "I wasn't looking clearly. Forgive me, Uncle Sebastian." "Young Madam, I..." "What is the matter, Uncle Sebastian? Why are you so pale?" Zaria was getting worried. Why was he so quiet? Butler Sebastian was silent as he kept his gaze low. "Is it about Elian?" "Young Madam, you have to promise me that you must stay calm

'I will finally talk to him! I can't tolerate her presence anymore. Humph, if she has no recollection of 2 years ago, she better make new memories if she can't recover the old ones.' Zaria was thinking when she stilled and watched the scene unfolding. "Elian, you're back!" Christina leapt into Elian's arms happily. "Mmh." "When are you planning to bring your friends here, Elian? I haven't seen them for a long time and I want to meet them." Zaria was in disbelief. This Christina had met them, but Zaria.. Elian had never introduced his friends to her. Not even a simple description of how they might have looked like. He always had dinner outside the house when he visited his friends. "They are busy nowadays," Elian answered and tried to separate himself from Christina but she would not budge. "Well, forget them. Do you feel the difference here?" "..." "Ugh, look around! I have changed everything." Only after that, Elian's dark eyes went to every corner. "The previous setting w

"Good grief!" The next morning when Butler Sebastian saw Zaria, he was flabbergasted. "What happened to you, Young Madam?" "Uncle Sebastian..." Zaria Smith could not get a single wink last night. The moment she would shut her eyes, she would see Elian together with that woman. She had black bags under her eyes and slightly puffed cheeks, giving a great impression of a panda. The torment she and her soul went through was intolerable. None of her friends was here. Who should she confide in? Past, he said. Was she truly just a past? Then why did he keep her here? Butler Sebastian was concerned. Was the task not successful? Since he could not get a word out from Zaria, he sighed. "Young Madam, have something first and then resolve the matter." "Resolve the matter? Will he let us do it?" Zaria muttered, a bitter face forming. "Yes?" "Oh, nothing." As she proceeded to go to the kitchen, she heard some maids speaking. "That guest staying in the room opposite the hallway, isn't she

The dinner ended in silence. Zaria waited for Elian to say something or start a conversation, but he did not. He seemed distracted. The atmosphere was romantic and dreamlike yet the tension and nervousness somehow kept coming in. Under the table, Zaria clenched her fists apprehensively. "Elian, I need to talk to you." Elian was brought back to reality as he sensed Ria's gaze on him. Blinking, he cleared his throat, "I have been meaning to tell you something for quite a while as well. I can only let this out today now that I have got the chance." Zaria's heartbeat accelerated. Was he too- She gratefully thanked her ancestors and the heavens for this moment. With a shy look, she shook her head, her voice soft and she gazed down. "You can speak first. I can wait." "Are you sure?" Elian asked seriously. "Mmh." After all, whether she said it or he said it, it was the same. Sighing, Elian made eye contact with Zaria. He was holding this girl for a long time knowing that she could h
