Emily Diaz is a promising young lawyer at the most prestigious law firm in Barcelona. Undeniably talented, she hails from a family of prominent lawyers and has always aimed high. Her ambition is clear: she knows that soon, she will have her first opportunity to take a case to trial. However, she never imagined that Axel Blackwood, an Oxford graduate and excellent lawyer her own age, could become both an obstacle and an unexpected source of attraction in her life.

Emily is determined to keep her focus and maintain her professional facade. To do so, she tries to escape her thoughts with distractions, putting on a shell to hide her vulnerability from the world. Beneath her confident exterior lies an emotional crisis, a constant feeling of inadequacy she tries to conceal beneath a sky-high ego. Despite her impressive achievements, Emily grapples with an inner fear of not being as good as she projects, worried she might not live up to the image she has cultivated.All Rights Reserved

Lines of Defense by Dark_Rose_019

Ethan Cole is a defense attorney with a reputation for defending the indefensible. His clients are often guilty, but his philosophy is simple: whether they walk or not, the paycheck still rolls in. For him, justice is a gray area, and winning is a bonus, not the goal. On the other side of the courtroom is Amelia Hart, a principled prosecutor who believes in justice and integrity, no matter the odds. She's dedicated to putting criminals behind bars and doesn't have time for people like Ethan-lawyers who twist the system for their gain. But when a high-profile murder case forces them to confront their own beliefs and the darker parts of themselves, the lines between right and wrong blur, and neither of them is ready for the personal and professional fallout.

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn) by MystiquCal

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? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]
