In the aftermath of Objections Sustained, the Law Executive Council faces a new era-more competitive, more public, and more dangerous. With expectations higher than ever, every member is under pressure to prove their worth.
Bench Udan, the ever-confident PRO, thrives in the spotlight. Known for his charm and calculated words, he's used to controlling narratives-until Jazmine Kelly enters the scene.
Jazmine is poised, brilliant, and effortlessly captivating. She quickly earns respect within the council, standing her ground even against seasoned members. But behind her composed exterior lies a secret no one could ever imagine:
She is a princess, living under a hidden identity to escape a life of privilege and expectation.
Law school is her rebellion. The council is her freedom.
And Bench... is her escape.
For the first time, Jazmine experiences a life where she is not defined by status-but by who she chooses to be. Bench's raw honesty, teasing arrogance, and refusal to treat her as anything special become the very things she clings to.
But secrets don't stay buried forever.
As council projects grow bigger and more public, Jazmine's past begins to catch up with her. And when her identity is threatened to be exposed, the simple life she built-and the love she never planned for-hangs in the balance.
Because in a world where everything about her is extraordinary...
Bench is the only thing that ever felt real.
