#JUDGE STONE POV#
I have never been this stress on a case before but what can I do it's still my job to do
"Thank you so much judge stone I knew I could trust in you " one of the victims Mr. Alfred said with a wide smile on his face
"It's my pleasure and is so glad you trusted in me for the job," I Said smiling back before walking away back to my office
Ugh, what a long day I have been on this case for over three months and finally I gave the best judgment for the case and it was the best I could do!
"Dad" my daughter Olivia was finally back from her trip to London
"Olivia…..how was your journey?" I asked getting up to give her a hug
"It was splendid Dad I loved every bit of it and Dad we need to celebrate I heard you finally gave the long-term judgment to Mr. Alfred's case," she said with a huge smile on her face
"Of course, we would celebrate that case wasn't an easy one to bring to justice," I Said packing up my belongings to wrap up for the day
" Did you visit your mom while in London?" I asked gaining a frown from her
" I didn't…..not because I went to London means I must always visit her," she said
" I just asked I wasn't forcing you to check on her you can always do it when you are ready"
" Thank you for understanding me Dad" ….that's the best I can do after the divorce with Olivia's mom she has refused to say two words to her mother and no matter how I try she's just not ready
"But Dad if you don't have anything to do with Mom why do you want me to go back to her?" She asked
" Because she's your mother and you need a mother's care," I said
" Whatever….I don't want to talk to her" she said walking ahead of me…what would happen to you when I'm not here anymore ….this job as a judge is becoming very dangerous and I fear the results but you are all I have got
#OLIVIA POV#
"How's your dad doing I heard he won the case and that's such great news," Cyrus said my Bestie
" He refused to celebrate it I wonder why but back then he always talked about how much he would celebrate it if he ever won…I don't know why but he is always gloomy these few days" I said remembering earlier he didn't seem that happy he was always spacing out and for some awkward reason he wants me to reconcile with my mom
"Olivia!" Cyrus called waving her hands toward me
"You spaced out again" she added
"Don't mind me….am just worried about my dad he's acting weird these few days" I said
" Maybe he is just tired," she said taking a sip from her wine
" Where is Chris?" She asked
" Ohh Chris. I don't know where he is am sure he doesn't know I'm back from London" I said remembering I was supposed to inform Chris about my arrival but why must I anyways it's not like we are married just friends with benefits
"He deserves to know….I wonder how you two do this stuff without catching feelings, I'm sure Chris likes you but just can't say it" Cyrus said gaining a weird smile from me
" And you like him too" she added
" I don't…. Chris is just a fling I can't like a guy like him, I want someone who I can go on adventures with and have thrilling experiences not a cheesy mommy's boy as a boyfriend" I said making Cyrus laugh so loud we gained few attention people around
"Stop laughing Cyrus," I said mouthing the word 'sorry' to people around
" Olivia why are you daydreaming such guys only exist in movies," Cyrus said
She's right I have met a lot of men but it's always the same cheesy romance I just don't fall in love with such guys…I want action, I want to know how it feels not knowing what would happen next but I guess that's just a dream
"You know Olivia if you keep spacing out like that I might need to stop reminding you of stuff," Cyrus said
" I don't want this same lame relationship over and over again am 26 already I need adventure," I said still staring outside the window
" You would get one soon," Cyrus said
"Let's go Olivia ….we have a lot of arranging to do before a hectic day tomorrow" Cyrus added pulling me up from my seat and dropping a few dollars on the table
"Slow down Cyrus….we would get there early," I said rushing towards Cyrus who was way ahead of me but instead bumped into a man wearing a hoodie who quickly squeezed a piece of paper into my hands
"Sorry" he whispered before walking away
I unwrap the paper and go through it
What!!?
It's a treat!!
He is threatening me about my dad!?
I turn around quickly but the man is nowhere to be found….
