"Hmm....I'm not sure if I can take this case Mr Mehra, I already have many people on the waiting list, plus they are from London" I spoke with a cold tone. London, the city of horror, well only for me. "But Eyshana, it's a serious rape case, she was raped by 2 men. Her boyfriend was forced to watch her get raped. I know you have other cases and you are busy but just think about it, they are also offering a big amount of money" he spoke.

I sat in front of him, my arms folded as I leaned back in my chair. "You know I don't care about the money Mr Mehra. I'll book an appointment for them tomorrow at 11am, just tell them to be here on time" I stood up, my face now blank as I tucked my chair under the table. "very well, have a good day Miss Roy...I mean Miss Healer" he winked on me making me chuckle.

I left his office and walked into my cabin. I sighed loudly as I sat down, turning on my laptop to check my emails. While my laptop loaded, I massaged my head feeling tired. I looked at my office not believing how far I have come. A weak girl like me has now become a well known lawyer. I mentally laughed at myself. I never wanted to be a lawyer, I wasn't even clever to be one, I wanted to go into business or design, I wanted to do something creative but after my life ended 10 years ago I chose Law as my career path. I wanted to help and fight for those who were suffering from abuse, like I experienced. I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to remember those horrifying memories.

I didn't just help women, I helped kids and also men who have been through rape and abuse. I wanted to get a message out there that it's not okay to let those disgusting creatures walk around the world with freedom, ruining and destroying innocents lives for their sick desires, they have no right to do so. I worked so hard to be here, day and night my time would be spent on just studying and only studying. I would work part time as a cleaner in a café and then would study the rest of the day.

I would get pushed around, bullied, treated like a servant but I kept my temper at cool. I hid this all from Sagar as I know he wouldn't never want me to work there again. After so much hard work, I am happy to say, I am glad where I am now, a successful lawyer. I hope my parents and Riya are proud of me.

As years went past, I realised how distant I have become from people. The word trust just makes my heart drop. I find it so hard to trust people, the only people I trust is my family, no one else. I don't have any friends except Aditi and Sagar neither am I planning to make any friends as I know the reality behind it. My temper started to increase day by day. I chuckled mentally. Me, Eyshana Roy and temper?....doesn't match right?...well people do change a lot after many years.

A sound from my laptop cut me off from my thoughts. I sat up straight and typed in my password. I then opened up my emails to look at the information about my new case. Before reading it, I quickly made some coffee and sat back down on my seat. I took a few sips of my hot Americano and started to read my emails. My mug stopped half way when my eyes scanned each word written in one of the emails. My eyes kept re-reading the name again and again, my eyes becoming read as I refused to blink, my eyes becoming teary and itchy.

I lowly placed my mug down on the table and blinked, a tear drop rolling down my cheek. My hands shook, my breath increasing as I held my chest in pain. I looked away from the laptop as my body shook, I found it hard to breathe, I felt like I was suffocating, like someone was squeezing my throat.

A knock on the door made me flinch but I couldn't speak. I slowly stood up only to lose my balance and fall to the floor. My tears dripping onto the floor like a small puddle as I clutched my chest in pain.

"NICE ASS SLUT"

"Fuck....how much do you take for a night?"

"Gosh....what a cheap actor...acting so innocent"

"You really think I would fall in love with a weak and filthy girl like you?.... You think my standards are so low that I would fall for some ugly trash like you?"

"P-please...p-please...d-don't d-do t-this"

"Good....beg like that you fucking whore"

"P-please l-let m-me go...p-please"

"Slut...whore"

"P-please...p-please stop" I whispered as I placed my hands over my ears. The images flashed in front of my mind. The words became louder and louder, my body shaking furiously. "Eyshana...Eyshana are you okay?" a voice spoke from behind the door but the voice sounded like it was coming from under the ocean.

I heard the door open while I shook, my hands pressing over my ears, tears flowing down my eyes. "No....no....p-please...p-please" I muttered. "EYSHANA...EYSHANA LOOK AT ME....OPEN YOUR EYES" I heard someone yell but I hugged myself as I shook even more. "AHHH.....L-LEAVE ME...HELP...H-HELP ME" I screamed and screamed. I felt hands over my body, I saw blood around me, I saw Riya.....Riya...."RIYAA" I screamed while someone shook me. I then fell to the ground falling onto my back as I saw 5 people smirking down at me from above, surrounding me like a circle. "S-stop" I whispered before I fell into a tunnel of darkness.

We finally reached India after a long flight. Vicky had Sona in his arms while she clutched onto him, hiding her face into his neck. We all reached the hotel after a 1 hour and 45 minutes drive, all of feeling exhausted. "Did you call the person about the appointment for that lawyer?" I asked Farhan who was taking out the luggage. "Yeah, Mr Mehra called me. He said Miss Ana, that's what they call her, booked an appointment for us tomorrow morning at 11am" he informed me. I nodded and helped him with the luggage. "Who will be going with her?...I mean can we all go?" I asked him.

"Aliya, Sunny and Me are staying back, we will be discussing some things with the police over the phone. You will need to go with Vicky and Sona tomorrow. As we are in India and those criminals are in London it may be a bit hard to convince her to go to London with us but Mr Mehra said she is actually from London and had graduated in law from there, so I think we will be able to convince her. Just go with them okay?" he placed his hand on my shoulder. I nodded, "I will don't worry" I spoke.

"Sona baby, it's okay...just hold my hand okay?" Vicky kissed her hand. She nodded and held him close to her. I gave her a small smile and sat in the car that Farhan had booked for us. After 20 minutes we reached our destination and paid the driver. We walked inside the building and stood in front of the receptionsit. "Good Morning, we have an appointment with um...Miss Ana" I spoke. The receptionist just stared at me, licking her lips as she scanned her eyes up and down my body. I clenched my jaw and glared at her making her flinch.

"Oh yes...she is waiting for you on the 5th floor. Once you reach there, the first door to the right will be her office" she spoke, her eyes locked onto my lips. I nodded and walked away still feeling her gaze on me.

'Disgusting' I thought to myself

We took the lift to the 5th floor and searched for the door on the left. I knocked on the door and froze when I heard a familiar voice saying 'come in'. I just stood there frozen for a few seconds, my heart creating a thud sound against my chest. "Ezhil...come on" Vicky nudged me making me blink. "Oh um yes" I gulped and slowly opened the door.

"Good Morning, Mr Mital" a voice spoke. I heard a gasp behind me while I just stood there frozen, tears running down my cheeks, my hands shaking, my knees weak and wobbly as I stared at the beauty in front of me. My heart was pounding hardly against my chest so loudly that others could even hear it. I slowly moved forward, a smile growing on my face but I was still in shock.

Is she real?

am I dreaming?

She...she is really here?

"Eyshana" I whispered in shock

I have no knowledge about Law at all lol, so if you are studying law or anything so ignore what I wrote about this lawyer thing, working international etc, cuz I literally have no idea about it. It's just fiction hahaha
