The Best Revenge

Betrayal

Aile

Finally, she agreed.I have to win this case, papa is so desperate to see me.
"Hey,are you sure this gonna work?" Vincent asked with a strange look on his face.

"What's up with you? She finally agreed so let's just picture ourselves in a jet on its way to Italy" I shrugged sarcastically. Vincent,Vincent, Vincent, always letting doubts creep in.

He was never like this until his parents died. So he had only me. I vowed to always stay by his side until I died,this I knew wasn't possible.

He is a year older than me so it made me respect him. He had had a massive glow up since he was 16.He grew tall and develop strong muscles which every girl would love.His hair was always messy but in a nice way.Love it when it's wet.

His jawline was diamond shaped,which was rare. I guess he'd notice me staring at him from his corner eyes.The drive was slow and the noise of rain was non-existent.

Wait it's raining? That's good,it's been awhile since I saw rain drops. I stare at the window as this thought comes to head; Vincent was my friend,and I took him as my brother.Yet he always acted weird when my parents were around.

Okay, I get it. I know the reason why.
It's because he missed his parents.
They were good people.They didn't deserve to die on the spot like that.
Well, no one actually knows what killed them at the same time like that.

Their death was a mystery.This is way back 10 yrs ago. I watched the droplets of the rain slide down the car window. So satisfying.

As soon as we reached home, I walk straight to my room and soundly slept on the cozy bed.

Chloë.

Yes! I'm the best lawyer in New York.Ive defended many people in the law court and lead them to victory. Not to brag but, I've never been defeated before. So sure, I can win this. I took a heavy breath.

These were the things I tell myself when I feel unsure about something.
This case isn't just right. Mr. Aile is guilty and I can't defend that. I defend only innocent people.

Such an asshole, how dare him threaten me. I started recalling the meeting to secure good points and facts about the case for tomorrow.

"Heyy?" Ryan stretched as he entered my room." What are still doing this late boo?" He draws close to my study table and chose to sit in the couch in front.

" First of all, don't call me that again, and back to your question, which I see it as none of your business!!" I lashed out. "Relax, I'm just asking, I didn't mean to bother you?" He shrugged as he grabbed a pencil from the desk and started to spin.

"Pretty impressive" I said while my the corner of my lip tilt up in a form of a smirk. He smiles softly as mine fades away slowly with a sigh.

"What's going on girl?" He asked. "It's just work, and I'm tired already" I lied as he stare with a ' seriously' look.

"You love work, remember? You told me work is like the second coolest
thing in life and I'm the first huh?
You also say ' what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ' isn't it?"he look at me and then looked away.

I chuckled and he does same.
"Hey, who is that asshole giving you a hard time?" He asked. Oh damn he knows me so well. I mean we've been friends for literally 12 years approximately. We've lived together our hole life together at an apartment we moved in after high school.

"H- his name is Mr. Aile- "and " he interrupted."He is my client and I'm supposed to defend him tomorrow" I said as I looked back to my laptop.

"What's that supposed to mean? that's what you literally do, every single day" he stretched. "I'm not done" I paused and rolled my eyes at him.
