CHAPTER ONE

It had been raining cats and dogs. I looked out of my window from my high rise office. It was monotonous, success. It felt like I was reliving the same day, everyday. I had a love hate relationship with rain.

When I was younger, I would dance under the rain with m friends and siblings and after we had enough fun, we would all snuggle into the only giant bed we had which was in my dad’s room. We would hold each other murmuring “cold oo, cold oo”.

It was simple memories like that that made me blush. I would get flashbacks of this at out nowhere and smile so hard. I was from a very poor background so we did not have things like tea along with bread and butter when we were cold, we just enjoyed the tranquillity of the weather in whatever way we could.

My secretary, a young girl barely twenty four years old with a half cast complexion, walked into the office. She was opinionated and bold, this girl. Her name was Alice. We did not have the typical employer - employee relationship. There was nothing amorous about our relationship, neither did she share with me personal details about her life, but we maintained a close friendship, as appropriate as it could be.

“This is cold” she said as she walked in.

The Air condition was at the lowest temperature. I wanted to creep her out so I told her,

“Oh I forgot”

“Yeah I thought as much. Would you want me to switch it off”

“I was joking. Someone told you they forgot they were cold and you don’t take much of it. No thought he might be a Vampire”

“You know all those years you spent abroad might have spoilt you but here we don’t fear vampires, they are blood sucking agents, we bind them”

I laughed and shook my head. She went over some of the meetings I had for the day. I told her to clear my schedule, idid not feel well. My mind was far,

“Where is Miss Derele”, my throat felt tight mentioning her late husband’s surname

“She went to court for the Fannie May case, she has not yet returned”

“She is still working that case, I thought I told her to drop it” I thundered suddenly agitated

“You know how she is Sir”

“I don’t” I barked

I had personally instructed her to drop the client. I had explained with diligence how dangerous the case was. Okay, maybe I did not voice out my hesitation as delicately as I felt, maybe I sounded authoritative and harsh but I needed to maintain a professional atmosphere and it was difficult to do that every time I looked at her.

“When she comes back, tell her I need to speak with her”

Alice looked at me bewildered. She always gave me the same look every time it involved Hadassah.

“Go on” I instructed her. She pressed her lips together and I could tell she was making an effort not to say something

“Why don’t you say what is on your mind”

“Nothing” she smiled slightly and left the office. I looked after her bemused. What in God’s name could have been on her mind.

When Hadassah came to see her she looked worn out and weary.

“Take a seat please”

She sat compliantly.

“You spent so much time in court?” I asked intending to sound strict but not quite being successful.

“You will have to forgive me but not all of us have cars. I had to take public transport”

I could sense the jealousy in her voice, ever since I bought a car for Elizabeth, she would make sardonic references to cars when it was not necessary in the least. Not just cars she would find a way to make subtle remarks on my relationship with Elizabeth. It made my blood boil, she had no right to do that

“If you worked harder like most ladies you would get one” I responded, ignoring the hurt on her face.

“I thought I instructed you to avoid that case. My firm cannot be associated with exonerating a hardened rapist and a criminal”

“You don’t know that” she interrupted

“I don’t know what my firm should be associated with?” o asked sarcastically, feigning ignorance.

“You don’t know that he is a rapist or a murderer. He is innocent until proven guilty”.

“I don’t need to be a psychiatrist to know that he is guilty, one look at him confirms that. And I am certain, a judge would think the same no matter how many evidences you present before her or him “

“Why don’t you let the judge be the judge of that”

“It is my firm Hadassah you don’t tell me what to do here”

She looked up at me the moment I mentioned her name.

“Please, let me do this, I believe he is innocent. There is no guilty mind”
