Angel
"Maam please wake-up. Somebody is here to see you," I heard Mina's voice while she was waking me up. I slightly opened my eyes and asked her lazily. "Who is it? Can't that i***t understand that I am still sleeping?" I said.
"She is a client maam," poor Mina answered.
"Argh." I scratched my head and tried to get up despite the laziness I feel. My head is heavy, maybe because of the alcohol I took last night.
I went out of the room and saw a girl and a man sitting on the couch.
The man stood up and greeted, "good morning."
Instead of replying, I crossed my arms.
"What is it huh? Do you see I'm still on pajamas?" I whined.
"I'm sorry Atty. We went to the law firm but you were not there that is why we tried to come here to see you."
I stared at the clock, it's ten in the morning already, I supposed to be at work now.
Huh! Argh. I hate to be absent or late even though I am a partner owner of the Imperial-Jimenez Law firm.
"What do you want to discuss with me anyway?" I asked.
"I am Primo Lacsamana and this is my cousin Cherry Lacsamana," the man introduced himself tand the girl.
I noticed the girl was quite. But if I use my personality analyzer, she looks like a spoiled brat high school girl.
"Is she a victim of rape or something?" I asked. Probably, it's always the reason why people come to me.
"Actually yes, we are about to file a complain against Jaydee Corpuz, the member of Peter pan."
I was surprised to hear that name.
"Jaydee Corpuz?" I made it clear.
"Yes. Last night, he raped my cousin at the bar and I am angry about what he did. He was my friend but he betrayed me."
I remembered, last night we really saw them at the bar, so there is a possibility.
"Do you have evidence?" I asked.
The man took his phone and scanned it. Later on, he showed me a picture of a shirtless Jaydee Corpuz on top of the girl Cherry.
"It is already circulated in the internet and probably he knew it already," the man explained.
I raised my brows and crossed my arms.
"Alright then, summon that guy in the police station for initial investigation then I'll follow you there," I said and they left my condo doing as I said.
I prepared myself and took a shower. I just can't sink into my mind that the person whom his songs were my comfort during my stressed days will do something like that.
As soon as I was ready, I immediately went to the police station.
I finally reached the station in time as it was just nearby the condo, I walked as if I am on a runway as usual.
With my high fashion outfit of course.
I finally saw my client with the guy.
She seems like crying so I shouted at him.
"You stop harassing my client!"
They all looked at the entrance of the station checking the owner of the voice.
I walked towards them and as soon as I reached them, I greeted the culprit.
"Hello Mr. Jaydee Corpuz," I said while smiling sarcastically.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Atty. Angel Imperial, your biggest nightmare," I said and I'm proud.
"Excuse me?" He replied with an angry snap.
I stared back raising my brows.
"I'll make sure you will rot in jail!" I told him.
"I'm sorry but we have a misunderstanding here, I did not rape her. Okay?" He explained.
The police started the investigation and as expected he has his alibi that is non sense. And as always, I am feeling bored hearing stories over and over again.
"I've heard that kind of alibi many times Mr. Corpuz, better save your saliva for the prosecution," I replied while giving him a talk to the hand gesture.
"See you at the court!" I ended. I'm looking like a badass now when somebody interrupted and stole my spotlight.
"Bring it on!" We all looked at the person who owns the voice.
It was Mia. The brat.
"Hello Mr. Corpuz, I am Atty. Mia Imperial, your Lawyer," she said while extending her hand to the man.
"Thank you for coming here Atty. Imperial," the guy said smiling.
"Hi Angel, it's nice to see you again," Mia greeted me as well, but I always think that she is faking a smile.
I rolled my eyes and ignored her. She's a a two-faced biitch!
She is really a sore to my eyes. She turned to The guy as if she was a saint savior. "Anyway, Mr. Corpuz, I have already arranged your bail, so you can go home for now and let's just wait for the trial,"
The guy felt relieved.
"Thank you," he said.
Meanwhile, I turned to my client and said. "I'll win this case." Confidently.
The preliminary investigation was done and I decided to leave.
I was about to go to my car when Mia came across me. She didn't utter a word and she just stood in front of me.
"What?" I asked.
"How are you?" She asked while faking a smile again.
"Why do you even care?" I asked bitchly.
"Mom and Dad misses you a lot. I hope you will visit them if you have time."
I snorted. "Really? Don't hope too much because it will not happen."
I was planning to walk out and pass by her. But she continued to rant on me.
"I just don't get the point why Mom and Dad still love an ungrateful snake like you," She uttered.
That made me stop and turned back to her.
I smiled sarcastically.
"Well, I didn't ask them to do so. Go and ask them yourself and try to find the answer to your question."
I walked away from her before I say more.
I'm pissed. Here they are again, trying to trespass my life.
My foster family whom I hated the most.
