Grey Collins has the condition of hyperthymesia which allows him to remember practically every detail of his life with near-perfect accuracy. It is a condition in which an individual possesses a superior autobiographical memory. At a very young age, he witnessed the death of his father. His father was killed in their own home. Surrounded by a bunch of men. His father who's lying down on the floor covered with blood. He was killed cruelly and helplessly. To avenge his father's death, his dream to become a lawyer intensified. Hunting down all the people behind his father's death. A monster in court. A cold-blooded man. With the power of his memory, will he succeed? Will he be able to avenge his father's death? Will justice prevail? Having hyperthymesia, is it a blessing or a curse?

Chapter 21“Nah, he cannot do that. Suicide, really? That's absurb!” Treton exclaimed as a matter of fact.He just cannot grasp the idea of Mr. Aaron doing that, if ever.

Chapter 19 Napabuga lang ng malalim na hininga si Mr. Jared. Kasalukuyan silang nasa secret quarter kasama si Attorney Collins, Mr. Winston at ang dalawang tauhan ni Mr. Jared. Prente at tahimik lang na nakaupo si Attorney Collins sa isang swivel chair. Malalim ang iniisip at tila ba nasaang lupalop na naman ng mundo tinangay ang naglalakbay na isipan nito. Si Mr. Jared ay nanatiling nakakunot ang noo at pabalik-balik ang lakad sa harapan, hindi mapalagay at tila ba balisa. Ang dalawang tauhan nito ay nakatulala lang sa gilid at nagmumuni-muni kung ano ang sunod na gagawing habang. Naghihintay lang sa utos ni Mr. Jared.

Ms. Maggie, his cashier and his most trusted staf

Bahagya pang lumingon sa likod ang lalaki at sinenyasan ang kung sino para pumasok at kunin ang lalaking nakamaskara. The man who came just minutes ago didn't wear his usual attire.

Trigger warning: Contains sensitive words and sexual harassment. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! “Objection, Your honor! The defense attorney are making baseless accusation.” A man stood up with dignity. Walang bakas na takot ang makikita sa kaniyang mukha. He was standing among the crowd. Scared with no one. A man who works for truth. Sa loob ng apat na sulok ng korte, hindi na mahalaga kung ano ang katotohanan. Kapag may pera kang pambayad para ipaglaban ang kaso mo, panalo ka. Regardless of your crimes. In court, only few works for the truth. Because a lot of them became the slave of money. “Objection sustained. Defense attorney, change the question.” The judge-in-charge declared.
