The punishment for murder is the death penalty, what about love?
"Innocent until proven otherwise"
Does this apply to matters of the heart?
A story in which a lawyer ends up defending an inmate convicted of rape and second degree murder- that he claims he never did.
Is he guilty? Is he innocent?
Most importantly, is it morally acceptable to fall in love with an alleged murderer and rapist, let alone a client of hers?
❣️❣️❣️
Excerpt:
When his shirt is dangling from his hand with him lifting it up towards his face to wear it, I snatch it from his hands. Throw it on the table beside me and grab his neck with one hand and my other traces his defined abs, and kiss him with full force.
I thought he might pull away, saying he doesn't feel the same way towards me and I'm just his lawyer. That we're adults and need to refrain from acting like hormonally-driven teenagers.
On the contrary -to my surprise - he kisses me back with the same amount of intensity and passion.
One hand is on the side of my face and the other is holding me by the waist.
We both taste like waffles and fresh strawberries and it's not something to complain about.
Only when we're both out of breaths, we pull away, he smiles against me "What was that for?" He asks with his both hands on my waist now.
"I've been meaning to do that for a while now" I truthfully answer his question.
He has been on my mind 24/7 non stop from the moment I took his case.

Mugged (bxb)
**Completed** A young man mugs the wrong person and gets the surprise of a life time. He gets a ruthless lawyer who teaches him a lesson. Important note: Both protagonists are adults!!!! Wattpad don't delete my story again. Sometimes I refer to one of the characters as boy to emphasize the age gap with his lover. The character in question is 22 and his lover 36. If you have any issues with big age gap relationships this story is probably not for you. To wattpad proofreaders: Do not take this story down again. It's about two adults having sex with consent. Next time don't just read the description, read the story! To my beautiful readers: I hope you give this Mugged version a chance. It won't be exactly the same as my first one but shit happens and stories get lost. As always please keep in mind that English is not my first language and sometimes my grammar doesn't make sense. I could write the story in my native language which is Greek but then no one would be able to read it. It is what it is. EnjoyComplete
Bryan Brent(The U-Turn)
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings?

Operation: Satin
Bia, a romance writer with a vibrant soul, was stuck. After months battling writer's block, she found inspiration in Eros-a man of intense control, devastating charm, and a brilliant legal mind dedicated to justice. Their connection was immediate, intense, and hot. But their fast-burning romance quickly faces a brutal test. When a highly dangerous new case lands on Eros's desk, the escalating threats are too severe for simple legal tactics. The situation forces Eros to utilize the one thing he swore he'd left behind. Excerpt: I moved toward him, a slow, deliberate walk, his gaze locked on mine even as he set his phone aside. Standing before him, I placed my hands on his shoulders, a soft, teasing caress. Straddling his lap, I wrapped my hands around his neck. "About that late-night snack," I murmured, my voice a low, husky whisper against his ear. His breath hitched, and his hand moved up my back, tracing the curve of my spine, his fingers threading through my hair. The sudden, gentle pull on my hair, tilting my head back, was a jolt of pure desire. "Which snack are we referring to?" he asked, his nose brushing against my neck, followed by soft kisses. A moan escaped my lips. I'd thought I was in control. "Honestly," I breathed, "I'm dangerously close to simply letting you devour me," I confessed. Copyright (C) 2025 Athene D. All Rights Reserved.
He's My Secret (edited-ish)
He kept on staring at me but I ignored him, at least I tried to. He was sitting right beside me and although I was looking at the board I still could glimpse his form facing me, he seemed to be looking at my lips. I wasn't able to take it any more. I slowly turned to him, he was indeed staring at my lips. "What??" I ask feeling self cautious as I fought the thought of wiping off my mouth. He slowly licked his lips and said, " nothing" as he shook his head " your lips ... they just look so kissable" he added slowly and calmly after a while causing my heart to overreact, my eyes went wide and my mouth to turn into a forbidden smile. "What?" I asked as I tried to give him a weird look but I couldn't stop smiling, the forbidden smile seemed to be taking over my entire face, slowly but surely.

Wings For The Jailbird
#1 jail #1 fight #1 criminal *** "Don't take it personal, I just like to play it safe, you know." He said, crouching down in front of me to tie each of my ankles to the chair. I couldn't move at all, especially after he duct taped even my waist to the chair. I watched him examine his work whilst he rubbed his beard and then a slow grin creeped onto his face. He bent down and put one end of the duct tape on my damn nipple, went around the chair again and ripped it off. He put the other end on my other nipple and I felt my cheeks heat up in humiliation. "Just to make sure you don't get cold again." He looked at me, his smirk slowly fading again. I gave him a hard stare. His hand reached out and fixed the glasses on my nose. Then he turned the chair so, that I was looking at the couch. He sat down, arms spread out on the back rest of the old leather couch, his eyes fixed on me again. "And now we're gonna talk." *** Belle Valery was a hardworking and rather unpopular law school student. She was almost done with school, had a structured daily schedule that consisted of waking up, going to school, going to the local library and study until she got a headache. She would walk home at night and go to sleep immediately. For almost three years that was all Belle knew and she was hoping to get her degree without further complications. But hope often differs from reality. Especially when her neighbourhood was suddenly on lockdown, because an escapee was on the loose. Belle didn't expect to one day wake up and find said escapee peacefully sleeping in her room. She didn't expect to scream and wake him up. And she didn't expect that morning to be the beginning of their incredible, yet a little complex love story. But life is always better unplanned and unexpected.
