This is where Davina finds herself, seeking refuge in Nick's apartment as she desperately tries to avoid returning home to her partner, Damian. Draped in one of Nick's oversized T-shirts, Davina appears lost in her thoughts, constantly drifting away since earlier when she sat at the window seat, captivated by the mesmerizing night view of the city lights that twinkled like distant stars. Perched on the top floor, Nick's apartment offers a vantage point that enhances the scene's beauty below.As Nick made his way into the apartment, he prioritized finishing the work he had put on hold for the past two weeks during his leave. Knowing that Davina needed comfort, he prepared a steaming hot vanilla milk mug, hoping her mood would improve with this simple gesture. Seemingly yearning for solace, Davina didn't hesitate to accept the glass and sipped slowly, allowing warmth to seep into her being."Feeling any better?" Nick inquired, his eyes filled with concern as he observed

Davina couldn't help but be taken aback by the sight of Atlantis appearing in a place where he clearly shouldn't be. Without waiting for an invitation, Atlantis boldly entered his son-in-law's office, instantly causing Davina to sense that his visit wasn't for pleasant reasons.As Atlantis sat on the sofa provided in his daughter-in-law's office, Davina felt a wave of unease wash over her. She had a gut feeling that whatever Atlantis had to say wouldn't be good. Attempting to maintain a formal approach, she politely offered him a drink despite knowing it was unlikely to be accepted."No need," Atlantis curtly dismissed her hospitality. His unfriendly tone hinted at some underlying sarcasm, which Davina couldn't help but notice. She delicately settled herself on the couch across from Atlantis, her mind buzzing with questions about his unexpected visit after months of their unmeet.Their relationship as in-laws had never been particularly close, hardly warranting

Today, Damian and Nick arrived at the courthouse alongside Davina, albeit separately, as she had left the law firm immediately. Davina arrived before the others, taking her seat before Damian and Nick entered.Addressing his wife, Damian inquired, "Have you been waiting for long?" Taking a seat beside her, he awaited her response."Not really," Davina replied, her tone lacking warmth.Seated beside his partners, Nick, speaking in a hushed tone, asked, "How are you holding up, Davina?"Davina curtly replied, "I'm as good as you can see."No longer residing in Nick's apartment or Damian's opulent mansion, Davina had chosen to distance herself from both men. At first, she would often find solace in staying late at the office, citing an overwhelming workload.

Marcel's wry smile played on his lips, knowing that even someone as renowned as Davina, a famous lawyer herself, could not resist the tempting treasure he had presented her. He was well aware of the losses Davina had suffered at his hands and believed that she deserved some compensation from him because Davina was his first love. Instead of waiting for the judge's verdict on how much compensation the victim should receive from the defendant, Davina took matters into her own hands and decided to determine the amount herself. Observing this interaction between his wife and Marcel, Damian's eyebrows furrowed with suspicion as he pondered their unusual communication despite their supposed enmity."Do you think this trial will conclude well?" Damian mumbled under his breath, his doubts creeping in. Nick, who stood close by, caught Damian's words clearly and responded, "Have faith in Claire's lawyer. She undoubtedly has her strategy." Nick urged Damian to trust his wife and her def

The universe seemed to deny Marcel's wish for a swift end as fate intervened, ensuring that the hands of justice still reached out to apprehend him, even after his fateful fall from the towering heights of the building.

The weight of the day's events hung heavy in the air, the fear of losing the one they held dear gnawing at their hearts as they watched over Davina, her strength and resilience a beacon of hope amidst the chaos.The looming specter of the impending trial cast a shadow over the group, the stark reality of Marcel's heinous act looming large in their minds.
