I gathered my thoughts immediately my phone screen light up,brought up my phone to see Ben message, smiled and replied okay, not to long a knock up, come in, Samuel walked in with a file in hand or should I said a file no one wanted, hahaha, seen more like though,
A wrongful dismissal tied to a government whistleblower.
"Too radioactive," Samuel muttered.
I read quietly. Then nodded.
"We take it," I said.
Of course we did. Samuel said joyfully,
Fear is not a legal strategy.
Ghosts Wear Briefcases and we are the ghost here,
How long how their court case be going on? I asked, about few months back, mmm, send a message to the opponent telling them that am on on this case and am giving them two options, first settle it privacy today cause I don't have time on my end or two watch me appear at the court on the fix day, whatever their decisions are, let the judge know, okay ma will do that now, thank you Sam, ohhh come on we working okay? But if u must thank me, then buy me dinner alright, what about a dinner at my house with all you guys my three right hand buddy, hahaha trust me they will burst out of joy once I break this news to them , I smiled and added then you go tell them,
The whistleblower's testimony echoed my childhood.
Same tone. Same fear. Same belief that truth would protect him, but the world don't work by truth, and you let yourself say things out of force,
I won the case.
Outside, he cried.
Inside, I shook.
When Love Becomes Evidence
I watched Ari defend justice with elegance while knowing justice once failed her and I can't help to admire her courage
That's when I understood.
She wasn't running from her past.
She was outgrowing it.
I decided I would tell her everything—soon.
Numbers Don't Lie (People Do)
I ran the financials again.
Defense budgets. Security contracts. Shell firms.
The money trail formed a circle.
And the circle closed around one name:
Council Director Elaine Ward.
Still active. Still powerful.
Still smiling on television.
The Woman Who Survived
Elaine Ward survived because she adapted.
I respect that.
I also know when survival turns into arrogance.
She will not outmaneuver Ari.
No one does.
I received a call from my Secretary that Ben Carter is here, I closed the files relax my back on my seat and buried my eyes on the laptop screen before me, then I heard a knock, come in,
Good day President Gideon, I looked up at him for few seconds before looking back at the screen, have a seat I said in a calm, cold and distant tone,
I swear am very fearful standing in President Gideon office this man aura is out of the world and I swear I was sweating few seconds outside but right now I think I might turn to an Ice, God please help, how do Ari manage to live with this kind of man? No emotion, no feeling always distant and indifference,
