Chapter 8 - Come Give Me A Hug

I don't want much talk, being excited I told my Dad to watch the judgement and let him once again have that proud feeling,

Watching Her Work

I sat quietly in the back of the courtroom again.

She dismantled a witness by asking why instead of what. By the time she finished, the man was apologizing to the air,

Ari didn't bend the law.

She mastered it.

And that made her more dangerous than anyone I'd ever seen in her field , now that's my girl,

Clean Hands, Dirty World

I never touch what stains permanently.

No drugs. No children. No chaos.

Only leverage.

I built my network the way surgeons operate—precise, ethical within an unethical world. Ari believes I'm simply well-connected.

That's enough truth for now.

As long as she knows that Gideon Lock is her backer, then all are well

I waited for her in the car after the case closed,

Hi Dad, hope I don't keep you waiting for long, I never knew you will make a present appearance, I thought u will view it since it was boardcasted, come on here give me a hug first and forget about other things, why won't I appear in person to watch my daughter win? Huh? Or am I too big to not longer watch ur win in person? Come on old man, you know am always happy to have you watch me,

Take few days off I want to take you to a vacation, you need it, ohh my goodness, thank you dad I really need it, will start clearing some work off my desk tomorrow, good girl, what do you want to eat? Mmm mmm mmm shaking my head act like am confused, come on say it,

I brought my face down for awhile and look at him my voice coming out like am about to cry and my eyes like tears are about to fall out, I want a meal prepared by you, I really don't choice, anything you cook is okay,

Is that why your face is like that? I nodded slowly, alright consider it done, I couldn't help but bounced on him, thank you dad you're the best, are you sure am still the best, yes yes yes, ohhh I thought Ben Carter is now the best here, come on dad , no am just saying, you're my best dad and no stranger I meet yesterday can take that position from you, now I feel better hearing this, I laughed is actual cute seeing him act jealous and that was went I discovered that he had already accepted ben for me, am more grateful,

We got home my dad made dinner like we are feasting, I ate to my fullest cause he won't stop putting food in my plate and complained that am getting slimmer and should eat more, at the end I over fed,

The next morning I got a call that Ben is at my office waiting for me, I wonder what could be that reason when I got to the office I saw ben

staring out the window longer than usual.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"Whether truth always saves people," he said.

I reached for his hand, hold it a moment and eventually given him a hug,

"It saves me," I answered honestly in a whispered tone

He hugged me back—but something stayed unspoken between us.
