Dacian ☆

I've been avoiding trying to work on Jayden's case but my boss needs it finished and fast so we can get paid.

I propped my feet up on my desk and grabbed my office phone.

He said he had a little problem with his ex-manager. I wanna see if I can work out a deal with her.

I dialed the number Jayden gave me and waited patiently for her to answer.

"Hello?" A quiet voice said into the phone.

"Hello, I am Dacian Whitfield and I'm the attorney of Jayden Miller. I came to talk about the fact that you're gonna sue him for not paying you the right amount." I told her.

"So that's what he told you?" She questioned me making my face scrunched up.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"I mean I'm suing him because he's not paying me the right amount of money but its more then that." She stated.

"Tell me everything." I replied back to me.

"He not only didn't pay me my money but he raped me too." She said like she's use to it.

"Did he actually rape you or did you have sex with him?" I questioned her.

"I think I know what being raped is. I told him no and I was in tears. The only reason I'm using this suing gig to get at him is because he paid me for it. He told me if I were to tell anybody about him raping me that they would think I'm lying and think I'm some cheap hoe." She explained to me.

I nodded my head like she could actually see me.

What did I get myself into? I should've never sat down with and talked to him. Now I'm officially involved because I'm his attorney. There's no way I can get out of this without losing my job.

"Damn, so there's no way I can get you to drop the charges?" I asked her.

"Not by a long shot. I'm taking everything from him and I'm showing no mercy." She said before hanging up the phone.

I groaned before slamming my phone down on the table making the wood creak.

I'm gonna have a little meeting with Jayden since he wanted to lie and not tell me what I'm actually defending him from.

I looked down at my phone to see Maria calling for a third time today. You'd think she would get the hint and not call me anymore.

I sat my phone down on the table once I heard the door bell ringing.

"I'm coming!" I called getting up from the couch.

I headed towards the door. Once I reached it I looked out the peephole to see that it's covered.

"Who is it?" I asked with my face scrunched up in confusion.

"It's me." The voice said making me freeze up.

I can recognize that voice anywhere. It's Jayden. How did he find me?

"What are you doing here?" I asked him still from behind the door.

"I just want to see how my best friend has been doing for the past few years." He stated.
