chapter 12-the rise

After living in sorrow for a long time I was ready to live my life.i was ready to take control.yes the loss of some of our family members devastated us but we still had our own life to live.we had alot waiting for us.i wanted to be more careful and wise this time around than I had been before.I owed it to everyone,to have my eyes wild open and scooting at any danger that can make it way towards us.

The joy of us staying far away from our past made it more comfortable and healing for us.we had a chance to restart our life's where no body could judge us based on our past, background or traumas.we met new people,we made new friends and just like that we were a complete family.we were quite relieved that we had finally got our own safe space.

We were laughing,cooking and dressing up using our very own cash which we worked hard for.my eldest sister worked as health and safety office and my second sister was a nurse,I was a lawyer.we also had the botique which we operated as a team after all we were used to multi tasking.us being independent was the ideal feeling we had been yearning for.we were all working and doing our own thing.The brand was successful and we managed to make tombstone for our parents and sister.

My sisters had started dating but I has not.I was devoted to my work I just did not want anything coming in and be a distraction.I did not want to lose anything because I had already lost a lot.During my time as a lawyer I dealt with so many cases and helped alot get their justice.i was proud to the point that I started having enemies at work because I was winning alot and alot of people preferred me to be their lawyer.

I guess I was good because each time I had to go to court I was reminded of Steve,how we lost the first court case just because he had paid them of.when ever I would be on court I made sure the judge knew that he did not stand a chance on trying to receive a bribe from the opposite party.

Most of my cases were about rape and as much as it's did brought back some memories.i was encouraged more to go for it because I just wanted the whole thing to stop.why the rape,why go to force someone to be intimate with you whilst you are married and you have a wife,some even had multiple wives or girlfriends but still they were not satisfied.i was convinced that they loved to see women suffer because their actions made both the victims and their spouse to be devastated.

What I admired the most about my job and dealing with those filthy men was that,they feared me.for the first time men looked at a female and felt scared.They knew that I could and did crushed them.They knew that whatever they had been doing,or feeling probably even imagining was absolutely nonsense to me.They knew that I would stop all of it in a blink of an eye.

Whenever I would go to court,I felt like I carried a crowd full of women on my shoulders,I was their representative,I was their voice.being scarred was not an option,losing had no chance because I had people who were praying for our victory.one win was a big win for us because it's meant that we were a step closer to our destination,to the world caring and respecting females.

People rejoiced every time we won.i knew that my mother would have been very proud of me.The thought would make me tie up each time because she was not there to celebrate with me neither did she get her justice since her father ended up passing away.i fought those battles whilst having her on my mind the entire time.

I was dedicated to winning every case that came my way,sometimes I would stay up all night doing my research.i made sure that I got all the necessary photos,tape or documents with me.i never went to court clueless about what actually happened.sometime I would find out somethings before my clients even tell me.

Working in a male dominated work place and defeating men was not easy for me.most men took it too personally and I'm assuming some were doing same hence they were scarred that their time would also come.yes the cases were personal to me but I was just doing my job,the only difference between me and them was that I was doing the best I could,whilst they choose the easy way of accepting bribes and accepting a loss.i was so ashamed on their behalf,they had no empathy or wisdom for their clients.

They were not wrong,I would have taken anyone of them out if I would have came across a case which had one of them, because I would be doing my job and doing what is just.everyone knew very well that the people who break the law at most are those that are working in law.They think since they know the law they can abuse it and deceive someone who has little or no clue about law.

Some would normally make friends with people from different departments so that they would use them later to their advantage.corrupt they were.All that was under a rock would be soon exposed.we as lawyers had a very big responsibility and it's was much easy to choose the fast way but the right way was always difficult,it's needed a genuine person,some one who wants to see the world doing better.
