CHAPTER ONEKamila Dickson, exhausted and sweaty, dropped her glossy handbag on the dining room table. She could alreadyfeel her muscles starting to cramp up and knew she was goingto be in serious pain that night. "The muscles of my back and neck deserve a special treat." She told herself.But as she looked over at Kyle, she couldn’t help but smile.He might help with that. The blank look on his face toldher he was just as tired. They both had stressful jobs. Kamila, a young lawyer and her newly wedded husband Kyla, a policeman. Newly wedded? Well, they've just been married for a year. “Tired?” He asked her, as if reading her mind.“Did you get us dinner?” Kamila asked, already contemplating whether she would be able to make dinner or not.“I'll make us something. Go freshen up, girl.” He winked at her and disappeared into the kitchen. Kamila smiled at herself and hurried to her room. How much she loved and cherished that man. Sometimes she questions herself if she really deserve

Chapter 2

Kamila's POVI scanned the hallway for any signs of Him before entering her office, the one I shared with a senior colleague. I greeted Linda, who only nodded, typing away at her computer. I frowned at the sight of the new heap of files on my desk. That only said one thing, I am late again. Well, in normal sense ,I am not but if my boss gets to work before me, then I am. “Who dropped these here?” I asked, finally settling in my comfy chair.“Who else if not Lisa?” Linda sounded too harsh and immediately.What a terrible start of a good day. Kyle had said it was a good day this morning without giving me a reason. Actually, he says that everyday.What I see isn't any good.I, of all people, understands Linda's frustration more than anyone. Linda has been in this institution years before I joined, and she only got one promotion. The one which took her from work in the main hall to this private room for two. That promotion which she got before Mac Anthony (A nickname we call our boss wh

Chapter 3

He wouldn't say a word while I knocked, so I opened the door myself and popped my head in.“Doctor Mark, May I?”“Sure.” He nodded.“If you have come to question me about your query then you should leave because I have nothing to say to you.”“Well, I've come for that and something else. But I'll treat that first.” I said, fearlessly (one of the reasons why I always get in trouble with him). “That query was unnecessary, uncalled-for. I only did the right thing, Mark!”“You disobeyed me! Outright nonsense. Now we will have to take a case that would do nothing but waste our time.”“She deserved justice, and you weren't ready to give it. I can't just dispose of case files that need urgent attention because of the risks involved.”“Are trying to say I'm incompetent? I explained to you that it was all beyond our capacity. You're still a baby lawyer, and you know nothing. “I wouldn't mind if that was an insult because it isn't the first and won't be the last time he would call me a pee wee

Chapter 4

“Hello.” I waved my ID card at the police man at the counter. He had this evil grin that I was so familiar with. If not for Kyle, I'd have hated all policemen. Well, Kyle wasn't at the counter when we met.“What do you want?”“ I was sent to see one Miss Km, that is imprisoned here.”He hesitated for a while before asking me to wait. I almost hissed. I do not have much time. I cancelled my lunch with Kyle to be here, and lunchtime will be over in less than twenty minutes. Twenty minutes or else I'll be in big trouble with Mark.“You can go see her at the visitors' room.”“Thank you.” I nodded and left. I imagined what could happen when we meet, when I meet her. The kind of questions I'm going to ask. No. I'm not asking too many questions, just observe, Kamila. She's probably a psych already.I sat at the table awaiting her arrival. When I checked my phone, I noticed that Kyle had sent me tons of "question mark" messages. I wasn't fair. But I just had to do something, something for ju

Chapter 5

“Don't ask me how my day went because it was from one hell to another.” I warned Kyle as he walked in from work that night. “Dinner is ready.” I said soberly. “Go freshen up and let's have dinner because I'm starving.”“Okay, wife.” He planted a soft kiss on my forehead and left. He smelled of gunpowder, not a new scent, but one that I dreaded. Can today be any better? My dear Kyle must have been in a gun battle. I hate to think that one day he might get injured. I wished I could just ask him to stop being a policeman. That wouldn't be fair to him. And fairness is all I live for.Talking about fairness, I had the talk of my life with Mark, and he asked me to go home. There must have been an informant at the police station. I immediately suspect the man at the counter. I swear, if I had met Kyle at the counter, I never would have allowed myself to fall in love with him. Those men just aren't human. The way they treat lawyers, especial the one who sticks to the truth, is so irritating.

Chapter 6

" You are crazy, Kamila,"Lisa said as I signed in the next morning. "You're doing this again? Macanth wouldn't let go this time.""I know "I groaned. "That's not the best way to greet a lovely friend on a Friday morning.""Well, I know for sure you won't be going out with me tonight. I just hope you don't get a heart attack when you enter your office today."My jaws dropped and I felt the tingling teary sensation beneath my eyelids."You..."I gasped."Your punishment for... He asked me to place all the uncategorized files on your desk. You see, all of us are on a half day today, thanks to you. You'll be staying in till you're done with those. ""You've got to be kidding me.""No kidding babe. This is real. Get to your office first."I turned to leave but she stopped me."But there's a silver lining in your cloud, Kamila." She smiled playfully."What again?""Linda got transferred. She's throwing a party tonight to celebrate her unexpected promotion..."What is the damned silver in thi

Chapter 7

When I got to the police station, I saw Mark's car already parked in the garage. I prayed silently that it wouldn't be late before I reached her. If she signs those papers, then no manner of defense or evidence would be able to take her out of this. She'd probably be sentenced to death for murder or sentenced to life imprisonment. The former seems more certain."I need to see my client, Miss Kam."I said to the man who sat at the counter. He raised his eyebrows. He looked different. Not the usual fierce ones that I meet almost every time."How many people in one day would want to see her?" He said. "As far as I know, she doesn't have a lawyer yet."I took out my ID with the hope of saving myself the stress of explaining. Actually, there's nothing to explain."I need to see her now.""Okay. Follow me."I sighed. This one is better. I shouldn't hate them all. He just saved a life. The life of a criminal?My gut doesn't speak so.*He chained her hands to the table. "Five minutes. She ha

Chapter 8

The door to my office flew open, braced myself for his words, but he was quiet. He took his seat and faced me, still silent. “I will not apologize.” I said to him as if reading his mind.“You don't have to. You are suspended." He dropped an envelope on my desk. I could not react. I just didn't know how to. “I'm sending a report to the Dean as well. You will never learn. About the case…" He trailed off and I suddenly felt happy. There's still a case. She listened to me!“I am not going to invest either my time or any of the other lawyers time on it. In fact, no one wants to take it. You'll take the case. I don't care whether you aren't a lawyer yet or not. You think you know all already, so go ahead and defend her yourself! “ He dropped the file on my table.“You have four months! You'll be off work and no pay.” He snarled. “You think she is innocent, then go ahead and defend her. I don't care how you do it, but this is a case you must win. You must!” He yelled.“Kamila Dickson, if y

Chapter 9

" You said you wouldn't be home." He was surprised to see me at the door when he arrived and I understood. "I finally got fired!"I joked."What?!"He was still at the door and I was expecting my welcome kiss. He won't forget that, never. Or maybe tonight, because he just stood there, his mouth agap in shock."Won't you at least come in?""Oh I'm sorry. "He embraced me and kissed my forehead. I blushed."You are joking, right?"He said, already reading my mind.Was I sacked?That's what it looks like anyway."We'll gist after dinner. I made noodles and egg sauce. Go freshen up and the table will be set.""Okay babe."He winked at me and left.I sighed, remembering the man I met earlier at the library. He's not in any way like my Kyle.Kyle is more of an athlete than an ordinary man. Though, he was not spectacularly built. He was my height—five feet nine and a half inches. He weighed a hundred and fifty pounds, a galling eighty pounds more than I did, which flowed from his legs to torso a

Chapter 10

"Hey, Paige!"I said as affectionately as I could manage. Kyle's words kept ringing in my head.No she won't bite. I noticed a fresh wound on her wrist and I also remembered that Kyle mentioned that she hurt herself."I told that idiot that I didn't want to see anyone."My little confidence evaporated. Bad morning."I'm sorry. I just needed to see you."I said, carefully. " How are you doing Paige?"She was quiet. I watched her stare at the table for a long time before I finally broke our silence."I'll be your lawyer. I was finally given the case. I just hope you will be able to trust me but I...""Did you say lawyer?""Yes. "She was quiet again.Wierd.I decided to change the topic."I never thought you would change your mind. I mean, after our meeting yesterday...""You said Hope, Mrs Hope."I laughed. "You can call me Hope. I'm not that old.""I can see that." She said flatly."What is that?" I gestured to her wrist and her countenance immediately changed. I could have heard her sw
