Around Him.

After approximately ten hours of being shut, Alison's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with an unfamiliar ceiling…the last she remembered, her bedroom didn't have a chandelier light, neither was it painted all white, so where was she?She sat up with a start, looking around the room frantically. The room was elegantly decorated with white walls and dark wood furniture. But it was not her room and she was sure about that.Panic set in as she scrambled out of bed, her eyes scanning the room for something, anything, familiar. But there was nothing. No photos, no mementos, no clothes that she recognized.And then, her eyes landed on her clothes. Or rather, the clothes she was wearing. They were not hers. An involuntary scream escaped her throat as she realized that someone had changed her clothes while she was sleeping.Alison's mind was racing. What had happened the previous night? She had gone to dinner with Travis, and then...and then nothing. She couldn't remember anything.Wait…i

Take Them Down.

Alison watched as Travis's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he listened to the person on the other end of the line. She felt a pang of curiosity, wondering who it was and what they wanted.But Travis's conversation was brief, and he ended the call "I'll be right there.""I'm sorry," he said, turning to Alison. "I have to go. But I'll be back soon."Alison nodded, feeling a pang of disappointment. She had been hoping to spend more time with Travis, to do what? She wasn't sure, but she just wanted to be around him…***Alison pulled up at the driveway in Aunt Megan's house, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She had been feeling quite uneasy after the encounter with Travis earlier, she didn't even bother waiting till he returned before she left.Her last case was a big one, and Aunt Megan and her husband played a major role in the success of its completion, she owed them a lot.As she stepped out of the car and walked towards the front door, she noticed something quite

Piece Of Paper.

Alison smiled, feeling a sense of determination and purpose. She was going to take revenge on Bruno and his mother, even if she died trying.The rest of the day passed in a blur, and soon it was getting late and Alison knew that she had to get back to her apartment to prepare for work the following day.“I'd get going now, Aunt,” she said and got off the couch. “It was nice hanging out and thank you so much for hosting me.”“This is your home too, Ally,” Megan said with a soft smile. “Come over whenever you feel like.”“It was nice keeping you company, too Uncle Carlos,” she grinned and the man patted her hair fondly. “See you around kiddo.” He winked and Alison walked out with Aunt Megan, they both shared a hug before Alison got into her car, driving off.***As Alison settled into her apartment, and onto a couch, she couldn't help but feel extremely relaxed and a fresh sense of peace took over her insides.She went to freshen up,before returning back to the living room. She picke

Two Paths.

Travis sat on his bed, watching the news with a mixture of disinterest and boredom.He had suddenly received a call that he needed to show up at his company's headquarters for something quite important. He asked Alison to wait for her, and returning, he was shocked to discover that she already left.A part of him was disappointed, and of course he was going to handle that later, but for the meantime, he focused his gaze on the news, waiting patiently for the business update.But as the anchor began to speak about a familiar name, Travis's attention snapped back to the screen."Raquel Castro, the ex-wife of billionaire Travis Thompson, has returned to Chicago after a lengthy absence," the anchor said, a sly smile spreading across her face.Travis's eyes narrowed as he watched the footage of Raquel, smiling and waving at the cameras, before stepping into the convoy that came to pick her up from the airport.She was still dressed all elegant and classy as usual.He felt a surge of anger

Busy Day.

The sun had barely risen over the bustling city, but already, Alison's law firm was alive with activity. Secretaries typed away on their computers, phones rang nonstop, and lawyers rushed to and fro, preparing for another busy day.After the case with Travis a few days ago, the firm has been busy with activities, and new clients seeking legal advice, seeking representation and family settlements.Alison herself was seated in her office, discussing with a client whose husband used to be married under the act to a lady, and without dissolving the marriage, he contracted another marriage with the lady. Now he was no more, and the issue at stake was the validity of the second marriage.She listened intently, her eyes narrowed in concentration, as the client explained the details of the marriage.“Under the law, one can only contract one marriage, any other marriage will be considered null and void as far as the law is concerned.” Alison said seriously. “Because your husband failed to term

Sudden Obsession.

The sun had already set over the bustling city, darkness was starting to cloud the whole place, although it was attacked by the beautiful streetlights.The music was pulsating, drinks were flowing and people were out in full force having fun at the club characterized with deep blue light.In the VIP section, Enzo, Marco and Bruno were seated on plush couches, surrounded by gorgeous women, whose duties were to pleasure the men and get paid at the end of the day.Two of the women were massaging Enzo and Marco's shoulders, while another was straddling Bruno and feeling grapes from her mouth."Honestly, Enzo. This deal is going to make us millions," Marco said, his eyes gleaming with hunger and excitement. "It's one of the finest we've had in years."Enzo nodded, his expression growing serious. "I think so too but we really need to be careful. I mean they're a lot of other players involved and we can't afford to get caught in the crossfire" he explained and took his gaze to Bruno particu

New Temporary Role.

The morning sun was shining brightly as Alison prepared for another day of work. She was excited to be working at the headquarters of Travis's conglomerate, and she couldn't wait to dive into her new yet temporary role. Travis needed a legal practitioner to review some documents, and terms of contract and instead of going by the traditional method of using the conglomerate’s lawyers, he hired Alison, probably because he wanted to keep seeing her face everyday.As she got dressed and ready for the day, Alison felt a sense of nervous energy. She had always been drawn to the corporate world, and she was thrilled to be a part of it. But there was something about corporations that always made her feel nervous, instead of the original idea of confidence.After grabbing a quick breakfast, Alison headed out the door and made her way to the office. As she walked into the building, she was greeted by the friendly face of Travis's secretary."Good morning, Ms. Harper," the secretary waved with

I Wish…

Alison yawned tiredly and shut down her desktop and almost immediately, the transparent door to Travis’s office opened, revealing Travis.Alison decided to tease him a little bit before they went for lunch, with a mischievous grin, she asked. "You're still as overprotective as ever, aren't you?" she teased.Travis raised an eyebrow, trying to deny it. "I'm not overprotective," he said, his voice laced with amusement. "Where is that even coming from?”“Don't play dumb” Alison said, and sat on her work desk. “The event with Ryan…you should have let me go with him, I'm sure I wouldn't be this famished.”“You're still dumb,” Travis laughed, moving closer to the table on which she was seated, he pinched the bridge of her nose. “He was going to take you for dinner, not lunch. So you'd still be this hungry.”Alison playfully punched his arm. “I thought we were over this already..I'm not dumb!” She pouted.“Tell that to however is willing to listen,” he chuckled, and smirked leaning in, makin

Masked Lady.

Bruno was sitting in his office, sipping on a glass of whiskey, and working on the documents his secretary sent to him moments ago, when his phone rang. The caller ID was revealing an unknown number, making him hesitate for a moment before answering it."Hello?" he said, his voice cautious."Hello, Bruno," a mysterious voice said on the other end. "We need to meet."Bruno’s instincts told him to hang up, as he tried to make sense of what just happened. Who calls a person who doesn't know them, and asks for a meet up? That was absolutely lame. But something about the voice made him not end the call, there seemed to be a sense of urgency in the tone.. "Who is this?" he demanded."I'd rather not say over the phone," the voice replied. "But I think you'll want to hear what I have to say.” The person replied and sensing Bruno’s hesitation, she decided to expose a little more.“I also know about your plot against Barrister Alison Harper…” she trailed off. “I'm sure you know what exposing

Wrong Person.

The room was shrouded in partial darkness, the only light coming from the dim disco lights.The figure standing by the window was almost invisible, but as the moonlight caught her face, her features became clear. It was the same woman who had met with Bruno earlier, the one who had wanted him to be her ally.She was smoking a cigarette, as though deriving joy from it, her eyes gazing out into the distance.Her expression was distant as well, as her eyes seemed to hold a thousand secrets.She was finally back, to take all of them down, and claim what was hers and nobody in the whole Chicago will stop her, not when her treasure became even more powerful, like gold, her treasure got more refined…she had laboured so much in the past and no one was coming to rea0 the fruit of her labour.Her gaze was still outside staring into the city, and her mind far away from where she stood, but there was a knock on the door, and the knock broke her out of her reverie.She turned, her eyes narrowing
