Chapter Twelve

'Wow ,I guess it's been a while since I arrived home .

This place has really got some odd memories ,Liza said .'

Shall we go now ,Miss ?

*Once they entered ,it was a whole different feeling because Liza recalled some memories of she and Clinton together *

Hey there ,welcome home my dear ,it's my pleasure to see you here .

Clinton told me that you will be spending the night here because you got to prepare for a case ,Hazel who's Clinton's mum said .

'It's my pleasure to be here aunt Hazel ,you know this is my home too so it just feels good that after so long ,I 'm back home .

Can I steal a hug from you ? '

You need not ask ,come my darling .Give your aunt a tight hug because she needs it .

My dear ,after the case can you stay for some few days here ?

It's just that ,I want this house to be lively again .

Clinton goes to work ,travels anytime he wants and comes back when he wants to .

Klara is busy handling business issues and Marcial has left too but as for you ,no matter the time and how busy you are ,you always make time for your family .

That's why I want you to stay here .Please don't refuse my proposal because I know your parents won't have a problem with that .

"Mum ,she can't do that because she has a lot of work to attend to .

And I have told you so many times to forget about dad ,he left us and you should move on instead of staying locked up in your room all day ."

That's not the case Clinton ,you should also learn to console your mum because it's not easy when the person for whom you have loved fails to understand you and for that reason ,you get separated .

"Oh God ,you never understand women ,I'm done here .

When you are done ,you know where to find me , he said and quickly left "

Aunty ,enough already .Don't shed anymore tears .You know your tears are worth it to be shed on someone who doesn't deserve it .

I knew how much you loved uncle but he failed to understand you over a small argument and left home .

For three months now ,he hasn't returned or even called to check up on you .

You know aunty ,when one door closes ,the other opens so don't worry too much .

Everything shall fall in place once you clean your tears.

Don't worry about Clinton ,I'm sure he's equally hurt as you are but then ,he thinks that by turning it into anger ,he will be fine .

I will speak to him and you know if it will make you feel better then ,after our case ,I will stay here for a while so that you get a companion to talk to .

Now smile for me ,please .

'Thank you Liza ,you are such a good person and a good girl .

I hope you stay happy all your life .'

Alright then ,let me help you into your room. It isn't a bother ,I just love doing it.

*Liza helped her into her room and stayed by her until she was completely asleep .

Covering her with a blanket ,she left for the garden to study her case with Clinton *

********

So what have you gathered since the time you came to sit here ?

'A lot miss ,we have Bupkins confessions ,the goods the corps ceased ,Georgina says she will be an eye witness to the case and of course ,we have to interrogate her friend Silvia Navarro '.

I haven't forgotten about that but we will have to convince her to bear witness to the case .

The more witnesses we get ,the more we will get to increase the charges against Santiago Guerrero Liza added .

"You are right ,when we are able to win this case against his triple threat attorneys ,our firm will gain fame and people will get to know us and trust in us when it comes to the dispensing of justice . "

When we win ,the news headlines will read 'World's most dangerous drug lord arrested and jailed for life ' ,that alone will give me happiness and that's why we need to prepare adequately ,she added .

*They looked into the case vividly and rehearsed on their statements .

Liza began coughing as the weather was getting really cold *

Liza ,let's get inside or else you will catch up with cold ,Clinton said .

"Oh no ,we can carry on ,I'm okay . There's no need to worry to much about me ."

Stop being stubborn and listen to me .If you catch up with cold ,how will you be able to defend the case tomorrow at court ?

"He only cares about the court and not me .Where is the man I fell in love with ?

How could he not realize that I still have feelings for him ,Liza thought and still sat down without an etch to move ."

Oh God ,this lady is quite complicating and stubborn .

I don't want to make the advances towards her but how will I get her out from here ?

I don't want to see her ill or else my heart will ache ,Clinton thought with his hands leaning comfortably on his waist .

'Liza still sat down carefree about what could happen to her .

She was unperturbed about Wales' reaction as she still looked into the case '.

Alright miss ,it's your choice to still sit and cough in this cold weather .As for me ,I'm off to bed .

Without wasting a minute of his time ,Wales quickly packed up his needed documents and left leaving Liza behind .

There was a cold expression on his face however while he walked away ,his heart ached as he regretted leaving his love behind in the cold weather .

What could he do ?

He wanted Liza to follow suit since he could not convince her to do so .

'Damn it ,he left and that to ,in a cold expression .

Liza thought biting the corners of her lips bitterly .
