Amys feelings were in turmoil, she wanted to be happy knowing she was getting married to the person she loved in 4 days but still, there was a prickling sensation in her heart like she was overlooking something. She never wanted it to happen this way when she was still grieving the loss of her sister and had to plan revenge against that Gonsalez. Vahide was getting discharged today so Amy went home to make sure everything was good. Naomi their housekeeper was cleaning up the living room when she entered, she was a petite woman in her 40's with two children.
"Hey, Naomi, how's everything," Amy asked glancing around. Naomi smiled before answering
" Yes Amy, everything is done, and I also prepared the food for Mrs.Moretti you asked me to prepare"
"Very well, I will go and get fresh," Amy said replying to which Naomi nods and gets back to her work. Amy makes her way to her room but comes to a halt when she passes by Ayla's room. Not for once, she dared to go in there for past months knowing her sister wouldn't be there because of her animosities, this thought alone makes her teary. ' Not today 'whispers to herself before wiping her tears and moving forward. No words could describe how much she missed Ayla and the fact that she gave her life to protect her sisters scarred her heart. After taking a shower, Amy wears her jeans with long sleeve black blouse and leaves for the hospital. On her way, she gets a call from Talia. Frowning Amy attends the call.
"Good evening Amy, how are you?" Talia asks in her professional manner.
"I am fine Talia, just going to the hospital," Amy replies concentrating on the road ahead.
"Well I didn't want to disturb you but earlier I got a call from Mr. Kevin saying he wants to have a meeting with you today," Talia informs
"You know I can't meet him today, Mom is getting discharged today and I want to be there for her," Amy states confused that why Kevin wanted to meet her knowing she still hasn't resumed her office.
"I understand Amy but he insisted that it's serious and related to Ayla's case." Talia's voice turns uneasy at the end. Amy's heart stirs hearing this.
"Fine leave it to me, Talia, " Amy states.
"Okay and greet Mrs.Moretti for me," Talia says
"Sure," Amy says disconnecting the call.
Looking at the time on her phone, she still had an hour to spare. Changing the route to Kevin's office Amy speeds up the car. Reaching there, she parks and walks inside the building, memories start coming with each step reminding her of that dreadful day. The lady at the desk greets and directs her to Kevin's office. Standing outside Amy knocks and enters inside. Kevin looks up from his laptop surprised to see Amy
"Good evening Amy, I thought you wouldn't make it." He says shutting his laptop and gesturing for her to sit in front of him. Amy settles herself before replying
"Good evening, Kevin it was difficult but now that I am here can you please talk about the important matter because I am short of time" Amy states.
"I understand, so let's start with I have begun my investigation in Ayla's case but we need to hire a lawyer for that." He informs passing her the file
"No need for that Kevin, I want to handle this case myself, " Amy apprises reading the file related to her sister. Kevin furrows his eyebrows contemplating before informing
"I thought the same Amy, but the officials didn't approve you to be the lawyer" Amy stops reading and snaps her neck at Kevin
"What but why?" She irked. Kevin moves forward placing his hands on the desk.
"Look it may sound offending but firstly because of your history with Gonsalez and secondly although your work is acknowledgeable they consider you a bit careless. It seems they think you should have a sense of firmness in your decisions." Amy stood from her sit frustrated with such a statement from the officials.
"What the hell! How can they consider me careless, I have been working as a criminal lawyer for two years and so far I have won more cases than lost " How dare they say such things especially when she wanted to fight for her sister Amy thought her blood boiling at this point.
"You don't need to tell me that Amy but you are quite famous for your hardheadedness and not to forget your feisty behavior. These things are sometimes unacceptable professionally." Kevin enlightens setting his gaze on now fuming Amy
"It's bullshit, I can control myself I am not some crazy lunatic " Amy exasperates leaning forward on the desk
"Calm down Amy, being angry will not help you with this situation" Kevin tries to lighten the heat at the moment. Amy scoffs folding her arms
"Then what will help me huh? Do you even realize how this all sounds to me that I can't fight for my dead sister who died because of my animosity with that Damn psycho Gonsalez? That I can't for her justice" Amy all but exclaimed but Kevin could understand the anguish in her voice. He leans back in his chair wondering and after a moment he replies
"Give me some time Amy maybe I can find a loophole in this situation to help you." Amy looks at him for a moment before sitting back.
"I hope you can find some way Kevin I want to fight for my sister at any cost" Amy replies determination in her eyes as she speaks. Kevin could see that how much she was sincere with this.
"I know and I promise to find a way but you know once the trial starts you will be On the radar of Gonsalez, the danger will be lurking around."
"You won't me to back out" Amy raises her brows
"No, we all are here to work against such criminals and fight for justice. I am just telling you to be prepared for such a role. Although you will be guarded by us and we will take other necessary steps to avoid Gonsalez getting to you until the end of this case." Kevin informs. Amy sighs rubbing her temples
"I just wish everything goes well," Amy says standing up and grabbing the file with her. Kevin also stands from his chair straightening his uniform.
"Don't worry, I will update you timely," Kevin says. Amy nods stiffly
"I should leave then," Amy says shaking hands with him before making her way out.
