THE next three days, I woke up lightly. I always start my day with exercise after that I prepare myself for work. Wear my contacts, long sleeve, slack and coat.I grab my keys, bag and Lavinia's case file. Nasanay na kong pumapasok sa office ni Mancini, sa sobrang laki ng office niya pwede na rin akong mag-office ro'n."Good morning, Attorney!" Bati sa'kin ni Chizkeyk, ngumiti lang ako tsaka nilagay ang log ko para sa ngayong araw.Naglakad ako papunta sa office ni Mancini.

"Yes, Ma'am, I received the order... 1 iced americano and caramel frappucino with coffee, caramel sauce with extra whipped cream, to go." She smiled. "Please have a sit and wait for a moment."

"HELLO?" I stretched my body. I answered the phone without looking at the name registered, screw it. At this rate, I would get kidnapped or scammed. ["Hey? You alright?"] "Who is it?" I yawned. ["What? This is your so called friend."] I looked at my phone. "Attorney Selvantes?" ["Hmm?"] "Hey, how are you?" ["I'm the one asking you that question."]

I LAUGHED and pointed another ride. "That one looks more scary." It will raise you above 36 meters and suddenly drop you! Bogsh! You'll feel like flying. "Can we ride that? Two people?" Dev asked. "Ohhh! It looks fun!" After touching the ground again, we walked side by side to the next ride. "Attorney, I heard something." Dev tapped my shoulder. "They said that ride is the scariest should we really ride it?" I held his hand. "You said we'll have some fun, come on!"
The Verdict Chapter 35
I IMMEDIATELY got out of my car. I was called up for an emergency meeting, I have no idea on what it is I just came running. They didn`t even bother giving me a clue about the issue that`s why I am overthinking the fuck out of me. I even forgot to grab myself a cup of coffee! I've been awake since last night, I didn't get enough sleep no, I didn't sleep. I've been staring at my phone all night, debating whether I'll call him or not. "Attorney!" Agad akong napatingin kay Devon na papalapit sa'kin. "Pinatawag ka rin?" Tanong ko. He nodded and handed a cup of coffee. "Your secretary is the one who called me."

"ATTORNEY?" I was awoken by a gentle tapped in my shoulders. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the surrondings. "Iñigo? Where is Dev—I mean Attorney Selvantes." Tanong ko tsaka dahan-dahan umupo. Naramdaman ko ang pagkapit mula sa'king likuran. Ngumiti si Inigo. "Nasa likod niyo po." Tumalikod ako at nakita si Devon na nakayakap sa'kin habang mahimbing na natutulog. Inayos ko ang kanyang mahabang buhok na tumatakip sa kaniyang mata. Ibinaling ko ang aking

"IS it okay? A nice ending huh?"I smiled and kissed his lips."You should put a small detail here like a shoe print."I nodded. "Yes, since there are no other evidence present. Let's make an obvious one.""Hmm, add also hidden clues."I laughed, turn my chair around and looked at him."How about this idea?"He smiled and caresses my face and hold the pen to draw something."A murder disguise as suicide. How could you think of that?"
The Verdict SPECIAL CHAPTER: DEVON SELVANTES
SHE'S there, I could touch her... She's real. I smiled as soon as I saw Elara smile, I unconsciously smiled as well. The cold dusk sky's wind run through our skin. The breath of fresh air releases the heavy burden of sorrow weighing on my heart. It was reassuring. I stared at Elara. She had pale but glowing complexion, her clothes portrays her character more. Her frail frame that I couldn't easily hold. "Look, the view here is much prettier." I said and smiled. Elara drifted her gaze and chuckled. "Yes, tha

"MY precious grandson. I'm sorry I won't be able to love you anymore." I kneeled and hold my grandmother's hand. "No, Granny. You have loved me enough. If it weren't for Granny, I wouldn't be here now." She smiled and patted my head. "Deviii..." I sniffed and hold back my tears. "No, you have to see me get married. You can still live up to 5 more years." "Don't cry, my precious grandson. Granny is still here, I'm not gonna leave you yet." The only thing left for me is my grandmother, I'm not requesting anything else. Just let me stay with my grandmother who warmly smiled at

"ELARAAAA!" I sighed before sitting in the stool. "Why did you set an appointment again?" Bungad ko. "You're acting like this is your own house again." "That hurts! My friend! I was the one who is with you when you're alone, why are you like this!" He sounds like crying. This is Judge Leonel Gregorio. "When did I do that?"

"I WAS suicidal. I always experience anxiety, guilt, sadness and pain but here I am still smiling and talking in-front of all of you." I smiled and looked at the camera before looking to the new building in front of me. "I took my life a couple of times but every time I tried, nothing works. Maybe they are right, evil people won't die easily, ey?" They all laughed at me, they are raising their camera's, phones and even news outlets are here. I suddenly became a famous person. "That was my life, I was living because I need to. I'm living myself just to survive no other meanings. I once was lost in the darkess skies yet I made my own light, someone thought me that I'm the brightess moon that ever exist." I sm

"Oh, goodness! I'm not gonna kill myself, get out!" I shouted from the bathroom. "Just making sure, fucker." I heard Aza shouted. I rolled my eyes and started taking a bath. Afterwards, I dry myself and wear the dress. I paired it with my favorite heels. I contacted the roses boutique where Dev usually buy his flowers. I ordered a bunch of them, Dev would love it if his coffin is surrounded with flowers. I went down to the living room with the phone in my hand. Everything is set, I smiled to the workers and request to have all the flowers removed. They followed my request, after a couple of hour the white daffodils arrived. They started designing again. I sat down and looked at my phone. His family, Mother and sisters. They deserve to know. I let out a long sigh before standing up, I dialed his Mom's number. ["IHA! I'm just about to call yo

I RAISED my head when there's someone tapping me. The surrounding is suddenly change, its so strange. I just stared into it, not moving in my position. Moments later, Easton opened the door. Surprised on what he's seeing, he immediately scan the room and looked for me. When he found me, he immediately kneeled down and hold my hand. "Snap out of it." He said. I looked at him, took my hand and looked at him in the eye. "Easton, he's gone. He's gone" I burst out laughing. Easton immediately hugged me. "Shh... shh, stop." "Why didn't I notice?" I hug him back, I couldn't understand myself. I'm supposed to be in despair! I should be crying my eyes balls right now. But, why can't there be a single drop of tears? "He left me all alone. Alone, again." I hit Easton's back. Ambulance.

I SLOWLY opened my eyes. Something doesn't feel right and the bed is cold. I sat down to reach my phone that is ringing. "Yes? Hello?" I answered as I rub my eyes. ["Is this Elara Miranda?"] "Yes, who is this?" I yawned. ["I'm Detective Olten, you are the emergency contact of Devon Selvantes?"] "Yes, I am. Did something hapenned?"
