Ace? Who's Ace? "I asked Aiya.
"Your patient's lawyer stupid! you forgot?" she said
"And then?" I said while drinking my coffee and reading my book.
"Haven't you met him yet? He's super handsome girl! I'm not joking!" He said and slapped my shoulders. I glared at her.
"You don't need to hit me stupid" I said while glaring at her.
"Do you want to see how he looks? I have-"
"Excuse me. Dr. Madden, your patient's lawyer is already here."
"Oh my ghad! you're going to meet-"
"Bye!" I said and kissed her cheeks before I leave.
••
"Good afternoon" I greeted the lawyer.
"Good aft- rude Doctor?" He faced me, because when I went in he had turned his back.
"What!? stupid attorney?" So he is the Ace that Aiya mentioned earlier? Wtf.
"What a coincidence- oh no. it's fate." he winked. I rolled my eyes.
"Just ask the things you need to know, I still have a lot to do"
"Wow huh? It's not obvious you don't want to talk" he said.
"What-"
"Nothing. I said we should start. but can we have some coffee first? So we can have a good conversation" he smiled and sat down on a bench.
"Just-"
"oh. I think it's a bad idea. You might put poison. Let's start Dr. Madden". I just rolled my eyes and sat in front of him and crossed my arms.
"Tell me everything you know about the patient, his condition and you brought the patient's document right?"
"Yeah" I give him the envelope.
"The patient's siblings said that the patient is having an heart attack but when I checked him I saw something suspicious." I said seriously.
"Hmm?"
"The patient's mother said that the patient is suffering from stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness etc. And having skin rashes. But the patient's sibling said that it's impossible so I think one of them might be the suspect."
"And that's speculation"
"I know! I didn't said that his sibling is really the suspect! Stupid!"
"Yeah yeah, calm down. I'm just joking you know." I just rolled my eyes. When will this stupid Attorney will be serious?
"And..." I posed for a little.
"His breath smelled almond... So it's cyanide but let's still wait for the blood results" I said.
"Oh okay... Thankyou so much Doktor!" He said and salute.
"I just did my part."
"Whatever. Alexander Ace Spade Verion. You can call me 'yours' for short." He winked.
"I didn't asked"
"So what's your name? You need to cooperate with some interviews about this case."
"Alexa Aria Laurier Madden" I said.
"Wow your name is for angels, but you're a demon." at kailan pa kami naging close para asarin ako neto?
"Your name is for smart, but you're dumb"
"Yeah. I know that my name isn't for me. Because I'm the one for you." he said then winked.
"What the-"
"Bye Dr. Laurier" he said.
And he left me there...
Dumbfounded.

"So how's the meet and greet with fafa ace?"
"Fck you Aiya shut up"
"Why?-" I didn't heard what she said cause I plugged in my earphones and turned the volume on.

Ace's POV
I'm here at the victim's house. Infairness it's big. More than I expected.
"Good afternoon. I'm attorney Verion, the lawyer in charge in sir Anthony's case." I said and showed them my ID and they immediately let me in.
I saw cctv's on their house so maybe I can find something using this.
"Good afternoon" I greeted the mother of the victim.
"Attorney Verion?"
"Yes. Can I check the cctv's?"
"Yes! Sure."
"Uhmm... Attorney..."
"Yes?"
"Please catch culprit.. I beg you."
"Ofcourse" I smiled.
••
"Wait" I said and replayed that part.
"Is she the sister of the victim?" I asked.
"Yes"
"Can you tell me the relationship of her sister to the victim"
"Ma'am Anna did not treat Sir Anthony well because Sir Anthony was an illegitimate child and Ma'am Anna was spoiled." Answer of a maid.
Hmmm .... I thought for a moment and replayed the footage.
I saw Sabrina... The victim's sister... Went in to his room. But why? When their relationship is not that good?
While watching the cctv footage I saw the victim's brother. I paused the video
"Can you tell me the relationship of his brother to the victim"
"Maayos po ang samahan nila, tanggap po ni sir Owen si Sir Anthony"
I played the video again. Before eating dinner he went to the cr. Nothing suspicious. I continued watching the cctv footage and noticed something fishy.
"Now can I check the house?" I just need to confirm one thing...

Aria's POV
"Scalpel." I said and a lot of blood flowed when I opened her up.
"Play the music nurse." My assistant surgeon said. They just talked while I'm doing the operation
"What song do you want me to play?"
"Do you have spotify?"
(This is not sponsored)
"Yes"
"Premium?"
"Uhmm no"
"What? Your not on premium? Ghad. But okay fine. I want to listen to 'It really hurts' I'm broken right now."
"Gauze" I said while continuing the operation.
"Heartbroken? Again?"
"Yeah. Because of that jerk. I hate him. Go to hell bitch."
"Wow before you're heads over heels for him. And now? What did you said before?"
"Park seo joon of my life. He's the one. I'm sure!" Sagot ng isang nurse.
"Yuck! That was before! Past is pasylt duh? And he's only a foot of Park Seo joon."
"Instead of talking nonsense, help me here."
"Oh I'm so sorry Doc. I thought you don't need my help eh"
"The surgery is now done. Can you cover him up?"
"Aye aye Doc!"

Ace's POV
"You're under arrest Mr. Owen Hunt Reyes."
"What? Why? I told you! I didn't poisoned my brother!"
"You have the right to hire an attorney Mr. Reyes." I said before he went inside the car.
I smirked. No one expected you're the one who poisoned your brother Mr. Owen. It seems like the people around you didn't know you that much.
I am very sure that you're the culprit Mr. Owen. I'll make sure that you will pay for what you do.
