Elite sits in Supreme's office twiddling her thumbs. She was just introduced to his team that will be working on her case. Including him, she has two other attorneys making the dream team – All at no cost. Only her silence.
Her eyes go to a framed photograph on the wall. It's a family portrait with his parents and four siblings. They're picture perfect and represent black excellence at its finest.
Behind those smiles, there's family secrets... It doesn't stop them from being successful.
Supreme is the oldest Braithwaite child. He's a criminal defense lawyer with all wins. An eligible bachelor too. Holland's parents got his name from the Supreme Court. It also came from the Five Percenters.
Then there's the twins.. A girl and boy. Justice, she's a corporate lawyer. Cipher, he's a sports lawyer negotiating contracts for the top athletes.
Ziggy, he's an Intellectual Property attorney helping his clients with patenting or trademarking their works.
Then there's Holland. Her once best friend. She could've been done with law school this year, but she's just now starting. Her family finally got her to conform. She really had no other choice when modeling didn't pan out.
All of them make up Braithwaite Law.
Supreme takes out a file folder opening it. "The results for your psych evaluation," he flips to the right page.
"What do they say?"
"It says you have traits of antisocial personality disorder. Symptoms include a disregard for rules and social norms and a lack of remorse for other people. It also says you're indifferent to others wellbeing. Lastly, BPD... Borderline Personality Disorder. You can show instability in interpersonal relationships, emotions, self-image, and impulsive behaviors."
He closes the folder and Elite asks, "This is good for the trial, right?"
"Somewhat. You've been diagnosed with BPD since 2016. You were diagnosed in high school. Were you taking medication at the time of the murders?"
"Why does it matter?"
"If the answer is yes then they'll say you were in a better state of mind. Your actions can't be blamed on your mental state. If no, they'll question why you weren't taking it when you've been diagnosed for years. They'll say you put yourself and others in danger."
Supreme's about to say something, but freezes. She follows his eyes to the hallway looking out of the open door. Elite can see Holland walking by. They connect eyes before Holland quickly turns away.
"Go talk to her. I sent an email for her not to come into the office until after this meeting," He directs his paralegal who quickly gets up. She shuts the door behind herself running to catch up to Holland.
