he hugs me then I heard him saying "may I" yes I stammer in a whispered tone, after what felt like forever he free me saying, I know your heart is blocked but I still know you have a heart that's okay by me, I just force a smile got in my car with him closing the car door then I drove home.
I went home thinking, wondering if this is right, is meeting him and being friends with him right? But he somehow gave me a sense of security that only my Uncle gives me,
Uncle Gideon noticed my mode when I get home, and he said, if you not ready give it a space but if u want to see where it goes, ride on any decision you take can't bring you down, I will always be here watching and clearing your back, don't lock yourself up for too long girl, and the tears I was fighting back came rushing out and I found myself in his embrace, the only place I found peace and quietness with no worries,
I don't know when I slept off in his embrace but I woke up next morning on my bed with a breakfast on the bed stand and a written letter saying "If you ever find yourself in a difficult situation, just remember that your Uncle is Gideon" I smiles heartedly after reading that, yeah my Uncle is Gideon the number one man that even the government and military respect and fear cause he is deeply rooted in both, yeah am starting my day as Gideon daughter and only family you know what that means right, hahaha I don't need to make way, Way make for me!
That Detective he better not be playing with my daughter,
Ben Carter is a variable.
Variables destabilize systems.
I ran his file twice. Clean record. Idealism intact. Dangerous combination with Ari. He loved truth the way young men love war—believing it ends things.
Ari deserved peace.
Peace is expensive but as everything has a price that peace price is paid off but she doesn't know, I let her fight her cases and feel that proud and contented but she never knew that I have already dealt with everything that could endanger her while ruling over a powerful opponent, I made it clear to everyone on not account should she lose a case, I don't care who she's facing or who is facing her!
Courtroom Bloodsport
The courtroom is a battlefield where no one bleeds—until reputations collapse.
That day, I dismantled a minister's alibi piece by piece. I didn't raise my voice. I didn't gloat.
I let facts do the violence.
The judge ruled in my favor.
Ben was in the gallery.
Our eyes met.
I won but I wasn't celebrating nor was I smiling at ear to ear, girl this is my path winning yes, I can't fail!
Watching Her Win
People say power is loud.
They're wrong.
Power is a woman in heels calmly proving that your entire defense rests on a lie you forgot you told.
