Aurora pov
I walked into the house and searched for my father with my eyes, but he wasn't in the living room. The empty room created a space in my heart. If only my mother was alive, she would have been happy.
Father told me that mother has always wanted to be a councillor but she was a freedite and it was impossible. I remembered the day my father told me about my mother. I had no memory of her and only know how she looks like through the pendant she gave me.
That night when dad and I were watching a movie, I had asked dad why we freedites were called evil. Why we were called miscreants. He told me the freedites had all the talent and were special born people. The other groups were angry at that and saw them as threats. They brought the proposal to the supreme lords and it was approved. The freedites were known as villains. Even a new born child.
I picked my shoe and headed towards my room but stop when father came out of his room. He smiled at me but I sense it was a forced smile. He was hiding something.
"You are back. How was the test?"
"It was fine. I am a lawyer now." I said smiling widely.
"Lawyer? I am proud of you darling." he said and headed for the kitchen.
Something was wrong with father. He was sad about it and that made me worried. I dropped my shoes and went to the kitchen.
"Father is there something wrong?" I asked, watching him with bewilderment as he cleaned his face. Father was crying..... What happened to him.
"Nothing dear, just had something in my eyes."
I walked closer to him and leaned by the wall, looking at his face which he was trying so hard to hide from me.
"Something is wrong. I know you father."
He looked at me and sighed, "Nineteen years ago today, I met your mother. It was her chosen day. The day she dreamt of all her life. But she was detected a freedite and had to run. If she was here with us, she will be so happy. Her daughter is a lawyer. Her daughter is now about to fulfill her dream."
I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder, "I have always wanted to see mother and I know she is so precious. She will be proud of me. Where ever she is right now, she would be sad to see you this way when you should be happy."
He nodded and forced out a smile, "You are right. I let my emotions get the better of me. We need to have a party, my baby is now a lawyer." he wiped his tears and hugged me tight. "You made me a proud father today."
He patted my shoulder and smiled again, "Your friends were here earlier. You should go meet them when you freshen up."
"Definitely." I said and left the kitchen for my room.

AUTHOR'S POV
....
Far away from the main city, a white big mansion was on a hill. The only place no one goes to expect when invited or called in. The only place, feared by the people.THE SUPREME LORDS territory.
In a big room were ten men seated round a table dressed elegantly, with each of them having a glass of red wine before them. The young men ages were between the range of twenty one to twenty seven.
The men were the most handsome men in Sirenna, as that was the custom of the land. To be qualified to be a supreme lord, being attractive is one of the qualities they search for in the candidates chosen for the throne.
The ten men were the dreams of the ladies but they are bound by one law, they are not allowed to fall in love. The people are not meant to see the supreme lords or it cost there heads, making the men not to have access to the outer world and only rule from their territory.
The door to the room opened and the president of Sirenna walked in with her head bowed, not daring to look at the supreme lords. The president is the only person allowed to see the supremes freely in Sirenna.
"The supreme lords asked for my presence and here I am....... What can I do for you my lords?" she asked still with her head bowed and her hands placed on each other on her stomach.
The third supreme lord, Alpha, tapped his hand on the table and leaned backwards. "The after party of the chosen day is coming up soon, how well are you preparing for it?"
"More than expected sir, this year party will be the most memorable." she replied with a smile on her face.
Juanita have been the president of Sirenna ever since she was twenty three and have learnt a lot of things. Smiling have become part of her as leading have to do with a lot of patience. When she was chosen as the president, she thought it was going to be so easy so she happily accepted and lost a lot of relationship with her close ones. It was so devastating that she thought of killing herself but that will only make her a loser. She had no choice but to keep moving no matter how depressed she was and now, she knows the best way to lead the people.
The best way is a lot of patience and self control, she learnt that the hard way.
The supremes are no one to mess with, but she learnt how to maintain a relationship with them. Being a young girl as the president of a million of people was a lot to take in.
"The party will be filled with important people only as it has always being and your identity will be secured. Everything is almost ready and will be done before the day of the party."
"It should be perfect, just the way we like it." The fifth supremo, Abel said.
"Yes my lords." she answered and left the room without lifting her head up.
AUTHOR POVThe three girls sat by the sea shore looking at the bright stars pinpoint on the sky like many diamonds, radiating it beauty reflecting itself on the sea.It was a beautiful sight to behold, as the two girls laid their head on Aurora's shoulders. Aurora smiled sweetly as she took in a deep breath, perceiving the scent of water, sand and a sweet scent she couldn't identify. The sea is her favorite place in Sirenna as it beauty is something she wishes to see all the time. The stars were reflecting on the sea making it look like the sky was divided and they were at the middle. "Aurora..." Elena called in a tiny voice, with her eyes closed. "Hmmm?" "Will earth ever be restored again?"Aurora looked up at the sky and took in a deep breath again. Will Earth ever be restored again? It's being more than five hundred years now and the earth still remain in it ruins. She looked at the sea and her eyes sparkled with the stars. "Maybe one day it will. B
AURORA POVI came out of the cab and paid the driver. The big headquarters of the Councils was staring right in front of me. I was in the place I have dreamt of my whole life. I adjusted my bag and sighed. "Here I go." I said and walked into the building.My mouth tell opened seeing the inside. The people were all dressed corporately. It was more than I expected.A lady walked to me and held my hand. I immediately recognize her as Lalisa, the girl I saw at the city hall. She smiled at me. "What department are you in?" "The lawyer's department." "Great, we are in the same department." she smiled widely. "We are to go to the lawyer's head office and we will be assigned to a senior lawyer who we will work under." she said and dragged me towards the office. We entered the room and bowed to the woman there who I perceived is the lawyer's head. "Good day ma'am." Lalisa said with a smile. She sure has a lot of energy. "We are new lawyers and were told
AUTHOR'S POVMary walked into the council's president office and bowed at her. Felicia looked up from her computer and pointed to a seat. "Take a seat." Mary bowed slightly and sat down. "What about the girl?" "I assigned her to the most lazy lawyer, Mr. Davidson. They hardly solve a case and because of that, have a pile of case file in the office. I am sure they will make her do the work because she is the only woman among them and they hate working with women." "Good, let me in on everything she does, how successful she is and how quick she is to solve a case. And tell Mr. Davidson to give her the hardest cases. Their is something special about that girl."AURORA POVI packed the papers into a box and carried it out of the office, heading for the library where it will be kept. I made sure to clean up the office not leaving a single paper. The lawyers are sure messy.The library was at the third floor. Unfortunately, the elevator was under maintenance so I ha
I picked up the new and old case and went to seat down. The first case. 'Carrey Moreno, a young eighteen years old teenager who was beaten to death by her step mother. Her case was opened but closed after the father told the court his daughter died a natural death and was not maltreated at all. Now the case is being reopened again.'I read out the second case. 'Daniel Lunch, a forty years old man who was found in his apartment with knife stabs and multiple injuries. This is a new case.'I moved my hand across my hair, confused on what to do. I don't even know what to do now or who to meet. I can't meet that Lalisa girl as not all lawyers are allowed to enter any senior office without being invited.I placed my head in the table thinking of what to do to save my ass. I can't even come up with an idea. "Read the case, understand it. If it's an old file, study it. Write down everything about it, witnesses, evidence and so on. Don't miss out a single detail." one of the lawyer, wh
At the early hours of the night.........The head lawyer was allowed into the office of the president, as she was recognized to be close with the President. Mary walked into the office and bowed at the president. "Stop that now, we are alone here." Juanita said. Mary smiled and sat down. "My sister have being so busy with work lately that I have forgotten she is my sister and not just the president." "Sorry baby sis, had a lot of work to do."Mary nodded with a smile. "No problem, I am a busy woman too."The two women are step-sisters and have been close to each other ever since they met. The two were more like twin sisters, as they were very close to each other. Work got the two of them busy that they hardly had time for each other so found it difficult to maintain their relationship. "Let's go get a drink later and calm our brains down from work." Juanita suggested which Mary approved of as it was the best idea to get together again. Juanita leaned cl
A young and handsome blonde man walked into the president office with his hands in his pocket and a lopsided smile on his face. The president rolled her eyes and sighed in exasperation seeing him walk like that without even a knock and without showing a bit of respect by removing his hand from his pocket, but the young man cared less. His shirt was unbuttoned to the third button revealing his chest and the tattoos drawn on him. He had the perfect look of a crazy Mafia.He sat down and crossed his legs on her table. The president did not say a word. She looked at the vice president who was wondering who the young man is to have entered the president office dressed the way he did. But a gasp escaped his lip when he remembered the familiar face. One of the commander of the armies. Who wouldn't know the crazy Hamilton. Everyone talks about him. "Vice president excuse us please." She said. The vice president left. "Dylan what's the meaning of this behavior?" She asked. He
The supreme lords territory..........The eighth lord sat by the window holding a cup of hot coffee but his mind was wondering about. The thought of one girl filled his mind and that made him smile unconsciously.The state of the eighth lord caught the attention of two elder lords as they stared at him wondering what he was thinking about. The eighth lord is known to always have a smile on his face but the smile on his face that moment was a different one. The sixth lord realizing what was going on smiled lopsidedly and walked closer to the eighth lord. He placed his hand on his shoulder bringing back his wondering mind back to reality. "So who is the girl? Is her p**sy so sweet that it can't get out of your mind." he asked with a playful grin on his face.The eighth lord, Amzy, removed his hand from his shoulder and gave him a glare. The sixth lord, Marco will never change, always having a dirty mind. Amzy shook his head and drank from his coffee. "Stay away from me
"Why do you want to do that? That is dangerous? This is the army base seven we are talking about." she asked in a low voice, not loud enough for anyone passing by to hear her. Her eyes were still widened as she kept staring at me. "This is very important. I told you what my boss said. He told me never to go back unless I bring to him the complete details about the old case." "Do you know what you are talking about?" she held my hand and dragged me away from the gate to a quiet corner close to the base. "If you are caught sneaking in, you are dead. The armies will kill you. You know how harsh they can be." she said quietly even though we were away from the gate.I sighed and looked down. I have no other choice but that. I don't know anyone in the army and I wouldn't be allowed in just like that especially when I am still a junior lawyer. "Elena, if I don't do this I wouldn't be allowed into my office and that will be the end of my career in the council.
