When finding evidence is by the skin of one's teeth, what price are you willing to lay to find the culprit?~~~She was just a typical girl from a not so typical family, who will seek justice after her loved ones' death. She was the only survivor in that death trap or at least that was what she knew. Their death wasn't just a mere tragedy, it was intentional. The purpose was to eradicate her clan, but they failed when she survived.When her only reason for living was taken away from her... What was left in her being were: hatred, anger and the burning fire to have her revenge, but it was hard to find since no obtainable evidence could uncover the culprit behind the terrible scheme.When her boss, turned lover, started to show affection, a beam of light was flashed in her being. The newly found solitude with him gradually replaced her negative feelings. But as another guy entered into the picture and claimed her to be his, it drifted her back to her intentions which led her to unravel some secrets she never thought existed. Join me as I lay pieces of information about the Culprit's real identity.

The Culprit's Verdict CHAP. 30
Walking along the narrow hallway leading to who knew where, I made sure to keep an eye on the two muscular guys on my both sides. The metal chains around my wrists are thick and tight, I had no way of escaping from it. Hence, I had to face them and give my fighting skills the best of luck. It was my only hope of extricating myself from what lies ahead.I inhaled deeply before forcefully elbowing the stomach of the guy on my left and hitting the jaw of the guy on my right, slipping through his pocket to get the key simultaneously. I quickly escaped and ran away, luckily there was a block on one corner, I managed to conceal myself from the two who were after me.Pressure curtailed seeing their shadows parted ways. I sprinted after the other and knocked him off, the other returned with a surprised look but struggled to breathe as I wrapped the metal chain on his neck.They were lying unconscious on the floor.

I gasped for breath as my consciousness came back, panting and sweating at the minimal air in the atmosphere. I roamed my eyes around the dim, empty, and windowless room I was trapped in. Metal chains clanged on the floor as I moved to reach for the door. That's when I realized my right foot was locked on the chain embedded in the cream-colored wall.The thuds of the footsteps echoing from the outside alarmed me of the approaching being. I anticipated the unlocking of the knob for seconds, but it didn't happen."Who's there? I know there's someone at the door. Tell me who you are; show me your face!" I commanded, but to no avail, the footsteps retracted away and faded fully.Strange.Thoughts of Juliet sent chills to my bones. I didn'

I got up early the other day and waited for the CEO to arrive at his office. When Wanda finally left the room, I decided to approach. "Wanda, I just need a word from Mr. Val," I said. "He's not in the mood. He doesn't want anyone in his office at this moment," she said. She was just following her boss's order, but I was eager to confront him at this hour and so I quickly rushed to open the door. Wanda failed to stop me hence she ended up explaining herself to the CEO. "I'm sorry, Mr. Val. I already informed her that you don't want to be disturbed but she–" "It's okay, let her come in." He cut Wanda's explanation while he undisturbedly focused his eyes on the fascinating view from his glass window. She was left with no choice but to give me some way. I eyed her and threw a timid smile as she closed the door. "What brought you to my office, Ms. Nam?" "I want to talk to you about something." "What is it?"

"Juliet," I mumbled. I tried to catch up with her movement despite the sudden itch I was feeling on my left ankle due to the two inches high heels I was wearing. She went inside the lift and pressed a bottom. She seemed not to be in her right state as she ignored my calls. The elevator closed and I had to wait to check the floor she stopped. "7" I entered the other elevator and hit the 7th floor. I rested my back on the shiny surface behind me and watched as the number rose from three to four. "Why is Juliet here? Why didn't she look back when I called her?" I asked myself. Suddenly, a startling jolt from the carpeted floor disturbed my trance. The lights flickered once, twice, three times. My heart jumped for a minute and my knees dilute in nervousness. "What's happening?" The elevator squirmed a noisy crick as it halted. "What the–!" I tapped the elevator door with all my might and tried to break it open, but failed miserably. "Hello?

Rambling my dresser for the dress Juliet had ordered for me online, I stumbled upon the brown envelope I received a couple of months ago from agent Doe. A sharp pain pierced through my chest once again as I opened it."Will I ever find the culprit, Mom, Dad? Will I be able to avenge you from them? Will we ever get the justice we deserve?" I held my tears back as I wrapped the pictures in my arms.A tinkling sound of falling metal distracted me. I looked down to see the key pendant necklace they'd gotten from the crime scene and examined it. "Why didn't I see mom wore this one before?" I thought. This seemed to be a key, but on what? Failing to find the answer to my question, I placed it back inside the envelope.My scanning continued and finally found the dress

"You don't eat a lot." "I have a small stomach that's why." Silence followed after I countered my boss's remarks. It had been minutes since we stayed at the National Park after the dinner he sent for the two of us. And here he was, commenting how little I eat. Suddenly, he broke the silence and called, "Nam, look!" pointing in the opposite direction. My eyes adjusted as the lights from the string bulbs, hanging loosely on the branches of the robust trees, struck my eyes. There was nothing new as it was already there when we strolled this place. Confused, I drifted my gaze and threw him a cranky look, but it was quickly replaced with awe as he revealed a pink rose. "W-where did you get that?" If I could remember it clearly, he wasn't bringing any earlier and there wasn't any rose plant nearby. "From my heart to you." Crinkles on my forehead wav

2:03 a.m It had been three hours since drowsiness crept over me, and here I was, wide awake, sitting on the edge of my bed with a heavy head. I rolled over, attempting to get some sleep again, but curtailed when my palm landed on something cold and stiff. Frantic heartbeat and the wild brush of the wind from the curtain of my sliding window intensified the vague feeling that penetrated through my being. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and quickly opened the lampshade on my side. My hands travelled back and gradu

Maxine, If you are reading this, then, my guess is right and that means as well that I am no longer in this world to fight alongside you. I know that no matter what I do to stop you, it wouldn't be enough to eliminate the hate and your desire for justice, for I am feeling the same way too. I want to avenge our
