The dreaded Monday morning came, and i had no choice but to stand up from the bed but the more i try to stand up the more it called to me, after several attempts I managed to stand up walked towards the bathroom.

I took my toothbrush applied paste and started brushing my teeth, prepared the bath went in and threw my robes off on the bed, i had to sprint back to the bathroom as the bed was calling me back, the water was so warm, after close to what I think was 15 minutes, I came out freshen up, made cereal for breakfast and exactly 8:45am I was out the door.

      Walking down the hallway I spotted Mrs clark taking out the garbage, i greeted her and she responded, after exchanging brief pleasantries, i left.

(Mrs clark is a woman in her 80s, she has two children but they are both married but visit her occasionally and she lost her husband 20 years ago, he was in the military, she is a very sweet and warm woman, most times I meet her for advice because she is like a motherly figure to me).

I left the building, and got into CHERRY, that’s the name of my car, she is red and very reliable and had never had any problems from the day I bought her. And soon I was on the road into the usual traffic,

     My name is Yvonne james, am 34 years old, i was born into a family of four, my parents are late, they died during a protest 10 years ago, I have a younger sister she is leslie, and 28, and we haven’t talked for a while infact 7 years now.

After our parents died, I turned into an island, i was so hurt i didn’t let anyone in, including leslie and that drove us apart, before i could realise this it was too late, she left, hmm, did I mention, she is married to mark, he's into estate management and they have a son, roy.

He's 4 now, I found out because mark and I kept in touch,, not only did it affect my relationship with leslie also any relationship I had so far, which was two.

    I was with mike when mom and dad passed and i pushed him away as i couldn't see myself being with anyone at that time and that was how we separated, after a while, i met ethan but I couldn’t bring myself to love him the way he loved me and so we ended up splitting, after that I made up my mind to focus only on  my career and nothing else.

So here I am, the youngest lady to make director in rick and baileys law firm.

The traffic was unbearable and i had to get to the office on time as I have a case at 10:00am this morning, after what seemed like forever the traffic subsided and I got to the office at 9:35.

I didn’t have time to exchange pleasantries, i took the necessary documents I needed and i was on my way to the courthouse. Luckily I got there on time and after we ( prosecutor and the defence) were done with presenting our case, the court was to come back in 20 minutes time for judgement.

I went outside with my client, Mr Nathan, he worked for Hammy's mall and after working for fourty-two years, and it was time for him to retire he was accused of stealing some properties and thus was fired one week prior to his retirement, I could tell from the look on his face that he was worried, he has a wife and 5 children at home waiting eagerly for the verdict.


Finally 20 minutes was up and we all assembled back in the court room and after some brief statements, Judge martha passed her judgement in favour of my client and I could hear screams of joy from the back and also Hammy's mall was to compensate Mr Nathan and also to process the procedure for his retirement within 48 hours and court was adjourned.


I walked up to the lawyer of Hammy's mall, Barr. Frank, I knew him as we are kind of friends but I can't really say, I walked up to my client and before I knew it, he hugged me so tight, thanking me and then let go off me.


After much thanks, I left the court and headed to the office, I had barely stepped in when the staffs were all applauding and congratulating me, I smiled and now i could finally exchange pleasantries, after all that i went to my office to do the paper work but first things first, I needed to eat, so I called Natasha, my best friend.

Natasha runs her own fashion studio downtown and is the party and fun kind of girl, without much talk we had a venue and time to meet there, I changed from my stilettos to a more comfortable shoe and set to an Italian restaurant specially picked by Natasha, obviously she has a crush on one of the chef so I have to suffer the...
