Hi! It's me again. This is a short try in a different reality.
I hope you get curious with the preface.
Enjoy
Bad Judgement
Preface
"So, it's settled Bella. Tomorrow, at nine a.m. you are going to start your first case alone, and since you did so well in college and in the ones you took care with me, I'm not giving you some reckless teenager that got caught with drugs… You're in for some serious business."
"What do you mean, Aro?"
"You'll see, my dear Isabella…" Bella walked out of her boss's office, a nerve wreck, just thinking about what the case would be, if it was interesting, if it was easy, if it was a fair one, and so on. She just hoped she would be defending someone that was actually being charged of something they hadn't done, because, even though she got in this business, she hated to lie, and used to blush every time she did so, but thanks to some lying techniques classes that she got from her best friend, Alice Brandon, she corrected that little issue.
But still, just the thought of having to take sides and argue for the freedom of a murderer, a rapist, or someone that was actually guilty, and winning, she found that disgusting.
Right when she finished her Law degree she was invited to work in one of the best attorneys associations Volturi & Partners, managed by three powerful brothers: Aro, Caius and Marcus. Of course she accepted the offer, even though she was afraid to be in the same room with them, the genius that made her go into Law by winning famous cases, like Jessica Stanley's accusation on the Mayor Mike Newton of sexual harassment.
Not everything was rainbows and sunshine, because she had to leave her mother in Phoenix, Arizona and move in with her father (she hadn't got that much money to pay a rent, and the offices were close to his house) to Chicago.
Her parents had been divorced for a long time, since her mother went to Phoenix, tired of Forks, the little town where they used to live, but they managed to have a healthy relationship, so that Bella didn't grow up without neither of them. She used to go and visit him in the summers, until he started to go to Phoenix, instead, to enjoy the sun, which was always covered up in Forks.
But probably five years ago, after being Chief of Police for so long, he was invited to work and deal with real situations, and so, to that, he moved up to Chicago.
Luckily for Bella, she wasn't used to a close relationship with him, and now they didn't had to spend much time together, with him being always working (it was probably his greatest pleasure in life…) and her always diving in her own world of cases and books and, most of all, impossibly amazing love stories.
That probably was the only regret in her life: she had never fallen in love.
