Assistant DA, Jenna James took an oath to uphold the law, administer justice, deter crime and ensure the safety of the community. Her job isn’t easy, but it has always been black and white—criminals versus victims. Now she is the victim, and the very system she’s fought to uphold is suddenly corrupt, the lines between good and bad are blurred and her world has turned upside down. She’s always known that world existed—a world of power so immense that a single phone call can result in people disappearing or political offices being vacated, a world where doctors are available at a moment’s notice. She’s never been part of that world—never wanted to be. The body count is rising, and unless she finds proof beyond a reasonable doubt against a corrupt former federal judge, and a notorious criminal defense attorney, it will continue to rise.

Love Penalty  by DramaQueenforreal
33 parts Complete
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
The War We Weave (The Power Gambit Series 2 ) by el_iv_en
22 parts Complete
The Power Gambit Series 2 "Power isn't given, it's taken-play the game or be played." Vengeance is a game of patience. But in a world built on blood and betrayal, survival is the real prize. Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Vega was born into power but raised in exile, a forgotten daughter in a world where bloodlines dictate fate. The illegitimate child of Eleazar Vega and Barbara Montalvo, she lived in the shadows until the night everything burned; her mother was murdered, her brother Tobias was accused of patricide, and her father's empire was left in ruins. But Nia was never one to remain a ghost. She carved her own path, stepping out of the darkness not as a victim, but as a federal judge wielding the very law that once sought to erase her. With each step toward revenge, she shed the past like a serpent shedding its skin-reclaiming her true heritage as Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Montrevé, the daughter of the powerful but enigmatic Augustus Montrevé. A woman with nothing to lose and everything to take. But power comes at a cost, and the legacy she inherits is just as dangerous as the one she abandoned. And then came Magnus Morven Escarra Ravello. A man of cold calculations and buried fury. A strategist who turns ruin into conquest. The last of a shattered dynasty, and a reminder that in their world, power is never won alone. Bound by a common enemy, Nia and Mav forge an alliance sealed in blood and deception. But alliances built on revenge are as fragile as the war they wage. In a world of whispered betrayals and ruthless ambition, power is never given-it's taken. And the strongest survive.

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

'No man is above the law and no one is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it' If the world had no law, people would be running down the streets killing everyone with a home knife. Even with certain laws, mankind had already broken much of them involving; bribery, corruption, malice, and even deceit. In the modern world, money is everyone's new God. Money is their new possession. No one cares about the law anymore. Even in law, money can buy them. To escape the tight rules, mankind use the money to bribe police officers, lawyers, and even high officers. However, despite the whole world filled with corruption and lawyers who wanted money more than anything, there was a lawyer who will be willing to do anything to put justice at hand. Money was not her aim in life. Her main aim was to have the world back the way it was. Wrong is always wrong to her and right is always right. No one can change that in her. But, in the challenging case of Tony, will she managed to maintain her principles? Will she not fall into the deceit of Tony who had escaped many crimes? Or... will she abandon them due to blindness in certain places? (JustWriteIt 2017)
