'Do you regret it...?' She whispered.

'Every time I inhale... there's nothing but regret latched on it. ' His voice echoed through the dark room.

'I never thought that you'd be the one to hurt me.' Her voice didn't hold any emotions anymore.

'Please don't leave me...' His words barely came out as a whisper.

'They were right, you know.' She paused, 'Lawyers really know their way with crimes and lies.'

Adelio
The man next door. Lawyer by profession. Moved out of New York. Rich. Single.
That's all the local magazine says about him.
Everyone who has ever met him, claims to know about him: Funny friendly guy, that's what they say.
But the real question stands... do they really know him?

•
What happens when a famous local baker falls for a stranger, who happens to be her neighbor and a lawyer? A Stranger ranked as the Top 10 best lawyer in the West. A lawyer with an extremely low profile.

Marilyn might have fallen first. But Adelio definitely fell harder; hard enough to leave his past locked in a safe room.
But oh Marilyn darling, has no one ever told you:

17+ I Fucked Up... He Found Me- I opened the door of my temporary apartment and immediately tried to shut it, regretting ever being stupid enough to open it at such a late hour. "Angel, you truly never cease to surprise me" he threw the door open and I walked backwards towards the kitchen, I turned my back and was about to grab a knife to defend myself, When I felt his presence, he immediately pushed his hard body against my back and took the knife from me slowly, "Now, angel you wouldn't want to make an accident would you? Hmm?" I felt his breath against my neck causing goosebumps to arise. God why am I so happy to see him? My heart pumped in my chest quickly- "What did you think? I wouldn't find you? You would run to Germany with your grandparents and I would forget about you?" He shook his head kissing my neck, I took in a breath as he turned my body to face him, "I would find you all the way in Alaska Emerson, do not underestimate my love for you." My eyes widened at his words and with that he roughly connected our lips. 'Estupida, deberiamos haber ido a Canadá" ...

Love Penalty by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ 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. ❣️❣️❣️ *contains mature themes. *contains swearing. 8/3/2020 -> #1 in OnTrialForMurder #2 in notmeanttobe 8/8/2020 -> #3 in wtfamidoing 10/16/2021 -> #13 in fml 7/20/2021 -> #1 in ihateeverything 10/10/2021 -> #39 in mixedfeelings 4/18/2022 -> #1 in prison #2 in murder #1 in lawyer #1 in damaged

"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadows
