Chapter 15 The Mystery Girl

• The morning sun cast a golden hue over the familiar streets as I made my way back home with the previous night's events weighing heavily on my mind. Thoughts swirled like a storm within me, each one a reminder of the fragile balance I now found myself in. One thing was clear--- the secret that bound Jake and I was not to be shared lightly.
• As I navigated the labyrinth of my thoughts, a stark realization dawned upon me. The consequences of revealing our clandestine connection to the world at large loomed ominously on the horizon.
• Jake, a man of duty and honor, stood to lose everything if our truth were to come to light. It is against professional ethics to have an intimate relationship with your client…well, in this case, your victim.
