A/N: Okay, this chapter is longer now... but once again, lots of dialouge. Enjoy:)
Chapter Three
Adrian was very busy over the next week. Everything was moving at a fast pace, between conference meetings, meeting her new client and feeding shoe, but everything just suddenly froze when she was the headline:"defense Attorney, Phoenix Wright, assassin's next target?"
After reading the article, being very careful to not skip over any words, she realized that, according to the newspaper, she herself was the one who wanted him dead.
Without having to think much about it, she thought first thing, that Matt Engarde was behind it all. So, without much hesitance to second thoughts, she rushed over to see Mr. Matt Engarde.
She waled into the visitor's room of the detention center and once again, she was faced with Matt Engarde.
"What are you doing back so soon? I thought you'd never come back," asked Matt, acting as if he didn't know what was all over the news.
"Okay, you know I wouldn't come here for no reason, epically if I had to see you "
"Oh Adrian, why do you act as if you hat e so much? What have I ever done to you?"
"You've done a number of things. The one that started this was the day you entered into my life. But this time, you've gone too far."
"What are you talking about? And what do you mean by this time?"
"You sent a note an assassin saying that I wanted Mr. Wright dead!... And you're once again trying to drive someone to death, and that some one is me. You're planning on using the assassin to kill Mr. Wright, while at the same time, you're trying to drive me to suicide!" the words she said rushed out of her mouth, as if she didn't have control of them.
"I would never do anything like that. Where did you ever get this bizarre idea?" His act to act innocent ended it failure. Adrian could already tell he was lying.
"Why do I ask? Because I've seen it happen once before..."
Matt dropped the innocent act. "Oh, you must be talking about Celeste. I remember her. She was the one who killed herself, wasn't she?"
"And it was all because of you!"she yelled, while replying at the same time.
"I was never found guilty of the crime. Anyway, she was a stupid woman, and stupid people should be cast aside." Matt's 'demonic' side was showing more obliviously.
Adrian didn't have a response to that, but she didn't need one, because Matt just continued on.
"Well, that was the past. It doesn't matter anymore." Matt wasn't the person who was concerned about the past. He didn't need to, and he didn't want to. "Now, where were we?"
"... You're stuck in jail, charged with murder, and yet you still feel as if you need to kill? Is that it!?'
"Kill? I'm not trying to kill anyone. I admit, I hired Mr. DeKiller to assassinate Juan, but I'm not the criminal behind your crazy idea."
"Oh, so your just gonna deny it? You want Mr. Wright dead, and if I kill myself, as your planned, you'd be overjoyed."
"You know, you aren't the type to make up crazy ideas, but I must ask once again, what are you thinking?"
At this point, Adrian was fed up and annoyed with him. "What am I thinking? This is your crazy idea!"
"I still don't know what your talking about."
"Oh, just shut up and stop acting stupid! You know what I'm talking about! Last week, you had me sign that paper so you could use my signature on the letter you wrote to the assassin, saying that I requested his services to kill Mr. Wright,, while you, all the while, wit it your jail cell and act as if nothing happened!"
"...Hmm... looks like you're smarter than I thought. I never expected you to figure out. But I doesn't matter anymore, because it's too late; you already fell for it." At finally admitting, he laughed.
She kept her anger all bottled up in her thoughts. Why? Why? Why did I trust him? Why didn't I see this coming? Why did I fall for it? Why am I such an idiot? Why?... why?...' There were many questions running through Adrian's head at this time. But the question of why, always came to surface.
"What happened to all that enthusiasm? You were yelling at me just a second ago."
Adrian answered in silence, acting as if Matt didn't exist.
"So, that's how you're gonna be."
It was silent between the two of them. No one spoke, yet they could still feel their hatred for each other.
To Adrian, Matt was worth nothing. He was nothing; nothing but a lying, double-crossing demon. She hated him. She'd always hate him, and nothing could ever change that.
In the eyes of Matt Engarde, Adrian Andrews was nothing but a sorry pathetic excuse for a person. She was weak through his eyes...she was pathetically weak.
Their hatred for each other began long ago. Their hatred for each other was kept hidden. But all the while, their hatred for each other was caused by the woman called Celeste Impax.
She caused them to see the true nature of the other. Because of her, Matt saw the real Adrian Andrews. The Adrian Andrews who deeply depended on the words of others. The Adrian Andrews who need someone whom she could trust without condition, someone she could put all of her trust into, so there was none left for the rest of the world.
But she also caused Adrian to see the real Matt Engarde. And that Matt as the one who merely thought of others as tools' only to be used , then thrown away. He thought others served no other purpose than that of his greed and selfishness. He'd do anything to get his way in the end; even if it meant killing someone else in the process.
His stupidity and her strength were just cover-ups, facades. But they were seen through. Seen through to the true nature. But their true natures...they were hidden deep inside, hoping never to come out and to be revealed to the world.
