"You know all our lives, we look for something. Something which we think can bring us out of our own personal misery. Some find it and utilize it but some find it and not even realize the value of it."
Emma Gursberg. Hot shot lawyer, 50% of the Markensons firm belongs to her. What else does she need? A young successful lawyer. But life doesn't always go in the direction which Humans yearn for.
"So who is this guy?"I asked confidently. I didn't want to jump into this without actually figuring out why this case was being transferred to the head besides it had been transferred from one lawyer to another for the last 6 months twice.
"Nothing you need to worry about, 2nd degree murder charges. The guy's been set up, some of the evidence has been filed already and on your table. You can trust me Em, I just have some personal issues with this case which is why I don't prefer working with those people that's all" Garret, my former intern and now a full fledged lawyer at Markesons firm said . I knew I could trust him but still this case didn't set with me well but I'm the head here, I cannot back down a case like this.
"Okay. I'll go for it but I need you to tell me the reason why you can't work this case and don't give me the 'personal' excuse. I need a reason and now." I said with full determination, I knew him pretty well, he would have to tell me no matter what.
"I'm their legal uncle and I don't want them finding this out"

The feeling was so intense, her words ruling my brain, empowering my veins. I was so useless. Have I ever cried? Have I ever thought why people say Life is just a Lie?

Or what was going on with that girl I heard of whose parents died a day ago? Of course, what was I capable of feeling? And there I had always thought I was the perfect me. The boy who could do anything. The boy who ruled. The boy who lived. Life is just a Lie. And for the first time in ever, I felt it to be so, so real. The reality of this was ever-awakening, it's power would have killed a soul. Life is just a Lie.Complete
