FREYA'S POV.
I looked at my Client she was wallowed in her own thoughts. Did I make a mistake?, I thought to myself.
"Your honour, My client here has been in a dilapidated state for years, having the thought of protecting herself comes naturally and should be considered" I mentioned.
The judge turned to the prosecution, David looked right back at me and smiled devilishly. What is he up to?. He has always been a pain in my ass. I never lost a case but since I came in contact with him I have been losing and I didn't want to Lose this time, definitely not this case.
He stood up and picked up a paper. It was my client's late husband's autopsy report.
"Your honour, The Autopsy report of Mr Bernard shows two Stab wounds, one on his chest region and the other on his abdomen" he paused and turned to me.
"Your honour, I would like to a bring a medical examiner to the stand" he said. Immediately my face turned pale. He looked at me again and I felt like ripping out his lungs, I would prefer he didn't breath.
The case was adjourned to a later date which happens to be my birthday.
Well it didn't go well on my side but did go well for David. He kept smiling to the cameras in front of the courthouse. The case was a popular one because many women protested to save Mrs Flores.
That was exactly why I took the case, my mom was a victim of toxic marriage, that's why i can't afford to lose this case.
I went to the parking lot where my car was and I saw a group of women standing there holding gifts.
"Attorney Freya, on behalf of the saving women foundation we brought you this, to thank you for listening to Flores story and helping her when everyone abandoned her" A sick and old looking woman said as she Stretched her shaking hands that held the gifts.
I held her hand, they were so cold.
"I really appreciate this gesture but if any of the reporters gets to see this, it will be on the headlines that I collect bribe for Mrs Flores case" I said to her and they all withdrew their hands back.
"Thank you so much, it was very thoughtful, how about when I win the case we all go out for a meal. How does that sound?" I asked them and they all smiled. They all left.
I inhaled deeply as I closed my eyes. Lately I've been having migraines and actively growing hair everywhere. I had to shave twice in two days. I unlocked my car, as I was about to open the door a hand stopped me.
"Where do you think you're going red head?" David said as he rested on my Blue Lamborghini urus.
"Away from you!" I snapped back as I folded my hands.
"You know I have already won the case, my victory is just delayed because of your undefeated ego" he said as he gripped his suitcase until his knuckles glowed white.
"For Fuck sake David!, being over confident can make you be off guard and that's just the right time for me to hit... Bam!..you lose!" I threatened and I could see a bit of fear in his eyes but he tried to hide it behind a smile as he burst into laughter.
"Really Freya?, there is nothing that can change her from being guilty" he replied as he started to walk away.
"You're wrong and I will prove it!" I said to him.
I drove off and arrived at my home.
"So how was the case?..Beat his ass yet?" Vanessa asked.
Vanessa is my childhood friend, we grew up together in the same neighborhood. Our moms were both friends, she is crazy but she is a good person.One time she chewed raw peppers thinking she could breath fire if she did.
"Well he thinks he had already won the case but little does he knows that there is a twist" I said confidently as I took off my top. I stood in front of the mirror wearing matching bra and pant.
"Why are you so hairy?" Nessa asked me as I saw hairs on my arms and forearms.
"I don't know ever since that night?"I replied in a worried tone.
"At the club house?" she asked and we both lifted our heads drifting our minds back to what happened 2 weeks ago.
************************
"I thought you said it was your brothers birthday!?" I snapped at Nessa as she parked her car in front of the infamous Club known as THE GRAVE. Instead of people being arrested for illegal acts here, the law clubs with them. It has a motto which says:
"Clubbing with death itself!" I and Nessa chorused.
"Jeff is out of town and moreover you told me you were free I thought maybe our coochies could need some ringing" she said as she brought out her tongue in a nasty way.
We entered the club and then before I knew it Nessa was out of my sight. She is going to be the death of me.
I haven't really been in a club for years now due to my work so I gotta make the best out of it. I walked towards the bar, I sat down on one of the tall stools and looked at the bartender who looks too young to be in the club.
I watched as girls danced, minors pretending to be adults celebrating their entry and a young man looking at me. I looked away and looked back but he wasn't there, well that creeped me out.
I turned to the bartender who had already served me beer. I drank it and then someone sat beside me, it was the creepy guy.
My eyes landed on his animalistic tattoo on his neck, he was well built and his jacket hugged his arms.
He turned to look at me, his light brown eyes were so sad, his hair was brown and short, my eyes moved down from his perfect symmetrical nose to his dark pink lips which curled up into a smile.
He is devilishly handsome! and that's what makes him Creepy. I could feel him staring at me and it made me really uncomfortable.
"Trying so hard to hide who you really are is very exhausting don't you think?" he asked.
I was too nervous to answer. So I just kept looking at my glass which was almost empty . There was just something about him that makes my heart beat faster than normal.
"The mark on your left thigh where did you get it from?" he asked me
"From birth.. Wait..how do you k...." I was about to ask him when I couldn't see him anymore. He couldn't have gone that far.
I struggled till I got outside the club there was no trace of him. I decided to go back inside when I looked at a corner more like an alley and I saw him, his hands in his pocket and a smile on his lips.
He said something as his lips moved, he was far from me but I could hear him clearly.
"It is time Freya"
"Fate can be cruel, " he said breathless.
Immediately my heart skipped a beat.
