The war of passions

Sarah

,, I feel like I loved you from the first moment, and the moments when I wished I hadn't done it, not to fall prey to your spell, didn't even exist. And the saddest thing is that I trusted him, wanting to get into your sphere, and I offered my heart to get it back more wounded than it was . "

Aiden

"I ran away when the only thing I had to do was stay, but I never imagined you managed to subjugate me so hard."

Heaven

" I always promise myself that I will leave, but he is always one step ahead of me. Each time, he manages to get me out of the way and then makes me suffer more without gaining my hatred. He is the only one my body, heart and mind recognize and accept! "

Ryan

"I can't let her go. I know I'm hurting her, that with each passing day the suffering I've been in is growing more and more, and the only thing I offer is uncertainty, but if I let her escape then I'll lose all hope in my life. . "

Sarah

"I gave you all the weapons to bring me down, and you never hesitated to use them. You pulled me away without any explanation, and then you came back as if nothing had happened. And the saddest thing is that even though I'm aware of this, I can't get you out of my mind and heart. "

Aiden

,,You are right! I chose with my mind and too late I realized that you appeared in my life exactly at the moment when my last hope was dissipated. However, I am more determined than ever to forget the past and let my heart go where it belongs. "

Sarah

"How can you do that to us?" After all I've been through? Do you really want to prove to me that everything was just a figment of my imagination? Do you want to prove to me that I was wrong when I believed in you? I feel like going through everything is like a punishment. You managed to make me addicted to you, giving me the impression that you feel the same way, and then abandon me in an abyss that is too familiar to you. "

Aiden

" Do you think that if you throw these words away, I will not realize that I am only the fruit of your reason?" Honey, the only thing I want to hear is the voice of your heart! "

Allison

"I hate him, but at the same time I miss him. It intrigues me, making me want to go deeper into his world, and in the next second I feel the need to stay as far away from him as possible. However, the temptation of a moment of euphoria seems stronger and stronger, even if I know that I will regret it later. "

Alexander

" When I see her trying to resist me, I am convinced that I will wage a real war with her, but she managed to shake my world far too hard to give up without fighting. "

I push the car as fast as I can, trying to slip through the narrow streets of New York, though I'm aware I'll be late.

It would probably have been better not to sleep in the three hours I had left since last night, but fatigue had won.

I park my car in front of the courthouse, grab my client's bag and file, and take quick steps toward the entrance.

- You're late! I hear behind me the voice of the only person I wouldn't want to see.

- I know, I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I let go, but I am stopped by an arm that touches my shoulder.

- Go to my office now. The serious tone makes me realize he's not on his best day.

- Later, I now have a trial to attend. I say, trying to escape a possible rebuke.

- Trial? The one who postponed you because of your irresponsibility?7

- What the? No, that's not possible. I was only twenty minutes late.2

"I don't discuss such things here." Come to my office.3

I can't believe what's going on. Could it be a sign that I was wrong? Have I been so driven by my heart that I have not judged correctly?

Ethan opens the door for me, letting me in first. I sit in a chair in front of the desk, and he sits down next to me.

- What's wrong with you Sarah? You've never been late, you've always been a punctual person.

- I know, I've only been sleeping less lately and I've been worried about this case. I decide to tell him because when I hide something from him, he is always able to find the truth.

- What are you worried about? Can I help you with something?2

- I don't know exactly what's going on with me. I worked on small cases during college, and after I got off her bench I took on more and more difficult cases. But when he takes a step forward, he throws me back three at a time.

I always tried to judge as accurately and coldly as possible, sometimes letting my instincts decide, and I was never wrong.

Now I feel that I may have been mistaken, and the man I am defending is guilty. You know very well that every time I choose to take over cases where the client is innocent, it seems absurd to me to try to defend a guilty person.

- Sarah, I've known you since you were little, you grew up practically under my eyes, your parents have been friends with me since high school, and I looked at you like you were my daughter. Both you and Ryan.

As a child you had the ability to distinguish good from evil.

When you came to New York and started studying law, I was proud of you, as was your family, and I always knew you would be a great lawyer.

You never ruined it, you never lost a trial, you managed to see what those around you didn't see, and you broke through.

What made you come to this conclusion?

- I don't know, the testimonies fit very well, but the evidence is completely missing.

It sounds like a suicide, but the fact that his wife was alone while he was out of work seems a little too perfect.

I sigh and wait for the man who saw me grow up and who always supported me to help me.

"Maybe you're right or not, that's all you can find out." Look, you've had more difficult cases and you've been able to solve them. I'm sure it won't be any different this time.

You have two weeks to analyze things well and find out if you have any reason to doubt him.

"You're right, I'll evaluate this story again and think coldly."

I give her a short hug and walk out of the office.

I can't even take a few steps because I'm bumping into someone. I step away a little and look up at the person I inadvertently entered.

- You! I exclaimed, not at all pleased.

"Did you miss me too?"

"Of course, every time I see you, I think what it would be like if I threw you off the roof."10

- You're hurting me. Theatrically he puts his hand to his heart as if affected by my words.

His green eyes look at me amusedly, as if waiting to drive me crazy and cause a scandal, but I will not give him that satisfaction.

- I thought we were friends, Sarah.

- Friends? I wouldn't go that far. We are at best acquaintances, colleagues, but that's all. Whatever you do and how kind you are to me, your wickedness can be seen in your eyes. You didn't give me any reason to trust you, so I can't consider you my friend.

By the way, this suit is no longer fashionable, the squares are no longer worn, dear Landon.7

I leave him shocked by my little speech, not expecting me to tell him the truth so directly.

Since the trial was canceled, I have nothing else to do, so I go to the office, where other cases await me, especially today. Time is running out and I still have so much to do that I can't afford to waste a second.

*

I take a deep breath and get out of the car.

Here I am at the office and I have to do my job as best I can and detach myself from everything. I can't afford to take any wrong steps.

I walk to the entrance, the guard opens my door and greets me. I, too, answer with a nod.

I walk past the front desk and head for the elevator, drawing a few glances from the staff.

I never considered myself to be a person of overwhelming beauty, even if those around me contradicted me.

Probably my raw blue eyes, blond hair and average stature make me stand out, and the fact that the blue dress fits perfectly on the body contributed to all this attention.

I go into the office and slowly leave my bag on the armchair in front of the desk, then approach the glass wall and press the button that lowers the blinds.

I take Mr. White's file and examine it from the beginning. Either I missed something or I'm paranoid and the man is innocent.

I'm awakened by the phone ringing in my chair.

"Do I really need to call you every time you forget about us?" my mother reproaches me and I don't know if she's serious or ironic. I am inclined to believe that this is the last option.

- I wouldn't go that far, I had a busy period and my mind flew to a lot of things.

-You work too much. I'll talk to Ethan, you can't go on like this.5

- Mother! I'm fine, you don't have to talk to Ethan, he doesn't give me the cases, I'll take them on my own.

"Still, you should take a day off." You haven't called me and your father in almost two weeks, and you haven't spoken to your brother in a long time, and you both live in the same city.

I sigh and don't know what to say. He's right, I neglected my family, but I can't give up my career either.

"I'll talk to Ryan today or tomorrow, I'll even suggest we see each other, and I'll call you as often as I can."

"Sarah, honey, you know your father and I are proud of you, we love you and we want you to be well, or I wouldn't have insisted you stop working so hard."2

"I know, I love you too, and I promise we'll talk more often." After kissing the microphone on her phone, in an attempt to kiss me, I closed the conversation and returned to my business.

I went around in a circle all day, I didn't find anything new in this case and no evidence to prove my client's guilt, which is good because I have every chance of winning. However, the anxiety persists, I feel like I'm missing something and I can't figure out what.

All that is his statement and what they saw him sitting at work late, plus the neighbors who said he got home at dawn and his wife had been dead since nine o'clock.

Everything is fine, Christian White has an alibi and his wife has committed suicide. Why? Nobody knows.

It is already dark outside, the building is semi-lit, and the employees have left one by one.

I decide to close the file and go home. Maybe a good night's sleep will help me to put my thoughts in order and to be able to reconcile myself to the process in over two weeks.

I gather everything from the desk, set Mr. White's file aside to take with me. Who knows, maybe I'll need him.

I go to my bag and after I put the folder in it, I pick up the phone that just tells me I've received a message.

What the hell?

I frown at the unknown number that appears on my screen. I unlock my phone and open the message.

Are you convinced that you have made the right choices?

I push the car as fast as I can, trying to slip through the narrow streets of New York, though I'm aware I'll be late.

It would probably have been better not to sleep in the three hours I had left since last night, but fatigue had won.
