CHAPTER 26

CHAPTER 27
The judge was worried about her daughter and began contemplating on sabotaging the case. For the very first time in the Judge's history the tagged judge "incorruptible" started thinking outside the box. Her standards were not up to expectations, even where are opinions are needed in the firm. Her contribution does not in anyway match her standards.After their wedding, every morning, before the sun rose, Anthony, husband of the judge's daughter would wake to the soft clinking of mugs in the kitchen. The sound always came a few minutes before the smell of freshly brewed coffee drifted into the bedroom. It wasn’t loud enough to wake her except that she always woke just to hear it.He never said much while he made the coffee. He liked the quiet, the hum of the kettle, the creak of the old wooden floor. Every morning for 19 years, he made two cups: one with a little sugar and cream for his wife one black for himself. He placed hers on the left side of the table always the left, because th
CHAPTER 28
Anthony had never liked courtrooms. Even the thought of one the polished oak benches, the stiff atmosphere, the way words could ruin or save a person made his skin crawl. Maybe it was because he’d spent too many years feeling judged, even outside of them because of the incident he encountered.So, of course, life had a sense of humor. He’d married the daughter of a judge.The judge was, in Anthony’s words, “a gavel with lipstick.” Everyone else in town respected her. She’d served on the bench for over twenty years, known for her razor-sharp intellect and unshakable sense of right and wrong. When she walked into a room, people straightened their backs and adjusted their moral compasses. Anthony, on the other hand, felt his temper flare every time she smiled that polite, condescending smile. She never liked her because that profession reminded him of his friend but bmhe never made his feelings know because of his wife She didn’t have to say much to win cases. A raised eyebrow here, a

After a while he came in and asked if she was okay and that if she enjoyed the food. She replied and said "of course yes" if not for you I don't know what would have happened to me. But please I have heard stories of this type of organization. It is one of the many codes that you don't reveal your identity to your victims but don't mind my asking. Will you tell me little about your story and why you chose this lifestyle because you are a good person.In response he replied, I will but my name will still remain a secret. I won't disclose that to you. Like you said before, one of the codes of this organization. Here is another, never trust anyone and even if you do, trust but verify. So my identity will not b

It was no longer comfortable and he asked his mother-in-law to take him to where his wife is and that he is back now and can take care of her and the unborn child. That's the least you can do for me. I respect your decision but I'm losing my mind. At this point the judge started trying to convince him to wait a little that she is busy at the moment and can't t meet his demands. Anthony became suspicions and decided to take matters into his own hands.
