Chapter One

Another new day with various tasks on my shoulders . After having some fun in Acart ,it was good i was back to work .

"Attorney Carson ! Attorney Marcial would hold a meeting in five minutes time ..!"Kara informed and Liza needed to go to the meeting as soon as possible.

"Before we start ,I would like you all to congratulate Attorney Carson and Attorney Brown for their outstanding work done in Acart .

They won the case and finally the justice that we wanted has been meted out to the accused !

Congratulations attorneys !

I called you here to introduce to you the senior attorney for the human rights and child abuse department and also the criminal law department!

Looking at their outstanding hard work and great enthusiasm towards the issues of our firm ,I have decided to appoint Attorney Carson as senior attorney for the human right and child abuse department and Attorney Brown for the criminal law department!

I hope as you are been given this position ,you will leave exemplary lives with self esteem for the other attorneys to follow !

Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day attorneys!"Attorney Marcial dismissed the meeting .

Thereafter ,a young rotund lady approached Liza with a weird smile on her face .

"Congrats Attorney Carson! I can see you have finally managed to find yourself a good position in this law firm!

How did you do that ?

Did your super dad find you this position in this law firm ?"She asked snugly while Liza turned a deaf ear .

"You know what attorney ? Everything is evident that you are in this law firm only thanks to favouritism and nepotism because you are not good at what you do at all !

At a snap of your fingers ,your dad lures everyone with money to get what you want ,right ?

Ha !

I wonder why you are being praised so much if your dad only needs to make a call to get you a position in this law firm !"She said with an envious blush on her podgy cheeks .

"Melody! I have been given this position because the head of the law firm saw what I have achieved in these few months and found me worthy of this position and not because my dad made a call to him to get me this position !

In fact, I am tired of your accusations and I don't want to listen to them anymore !"Liza began to walk away .

"You are not going anywhere Liza ,until you answer all my questions!"Melody stepped in front of her holding her by the arm .

"We have been in this firm for almost three years yet we haven't gained any position but you have been in this firm for just nine months and you are now the senior attorney of our department ,really ?!

Is this a coincidence ?!

What I can clearly tell is that you rich people have no pity for the poor !

You achieve what you want because of your wealth and not because of your hard work !

We keep sweating each time to get to the top and you just buy it with money ,huh?!

You should be ashamed of yourself!"Melody angrily said .

"Enough !

Melody I think I've had enough of your accusations !

Let me just tell you one thing, if you haven't been moved in this law firm to any higher position ,that is because you are arrogant and proud and it always ruins your luck !

You had a chance to be the senior attorney but you messed it up because of your arrogance !

You threw a case over the face of a client instead of siding with him to help him attain justice !

You found his case worthless and this is the consequence of your actions!

So before you judge me ,take a look at your life !"Liza angrily gave a quick comeback.

"Spoilt brat ! Look at how you have grown now!

You were once very poor and pitiful when you first stepped into this law firm but after knowing that you are the daughter of the great Ben Carson, you have now become arrogant and proud !

I guess your parents are really giving you a good treat at home because if they aren't, then tell them that they should check your character Liza , because no matter how hard you try to portray yourself as the rich spoilt girl, you always end up as the dump street girl!"Melody said bitterly .

"Blurt ! Keep on blurting vague words Melody ,blurt !

As a matter of fact ,you are right Melody !

I am the dumb poor street girl who has risen from nobody to become somebody because of my good heart and hard work and you better watch your tongue ;not to say a word against my parents otherwise I'll pull out your tongue and put you where you belong!

If you think I am using my wealth as an influence to dominate others then you are mistaking , because I have a lot more better things to do than to focus on your accusations !

Melody ,if there is one person to check on her character then it's you ,because your character is as stinking as your words !

I have listened to your insults for two months and I think I am tired of it all !

Melody , why don't you accept that you are behaving like this because of Clinton huh?!

Clinton preferred me over you so you can't stand me right ?!"Liza shrugged .

"Finally ! The boyfriend snatcher has admitted it !

You stole Clinton away from me knowing perfectly well that he and I had plans of the future !

You're such a flirt !"Melody said with jealousy rushing all over her face .

"These are all vague words !"Liza also said with a shrug .

"After seeing Clinton and I together at his mum's welcome party ,you tried everything in your power to seduce him and snatch him away from me and you succeeded Liza !

You are nothing but a cheap whore and I hate you so much !"Melody said bitterly and angrily.

Not being able to control her insults ,Liza landed two hot slaps across her face .

"If you ever dare to raise your voice above mine again Melody ,you will see the characterless part of me and I bet you wouldn't like it !

This would be the last time you ever cross parts with me and tell me such nonsense because the next time that happens ,I will file a complaint of verbal assault against you and I will make sure that you rot in jail which is where people like you belong !"Liza said , walking away in anger .

"Just wait and see Liza ,how I make your life miserable and snatch your love away from you !

You have been gifted with so much luck but let's just see where your luck will take you to !

No one snatches what's mine and goes scot free !

I will put you in such a condition that no one will be able to save you from your sorrow !

Just trust me !"Melody thought as she rubbed her hands over her cheeks still hurting from the slaps Liza gave her .
