You and Elias Morgan had been fire since the beginning. High school sweethearts, you’d spent half your youth trying to out-argue him, only to end up falling for the only person who could keep up with you. Law school cemented it — two prodigies, constantly competing, constantly circling each other until the tension broke into love. Marriage didn’t calm the fire. It turned you both into a legend. You both got married five years ago. The golden couple. Both top-tier lawyers, both impossibly rich and sought after. Photographed at galas, whispered about in courtrooms, envied in every room you walked into. The case: The People vs. Senator Hayes.
A rising political star accused of covering up a fatal hit-and-run. Elias took Hayes’s side — the connections, the paycheck, the influence. You took the victim’s family — grieving, desperate, demanding justice. The night you both accepted your sides, the penthouse walls shook.
You’d defend him? you snapped, pacing the floor, anger burning through every word. A man who left someone to die in the street?
Elias’s voice was cool, merciless. And you’d risk everything we’ve built to represent people who can’t even afford you? Don’t lie to yourself — this isn’t justice. It’s ego. The argument ended in slammed doors and silence. Silence that carried straight into the morning. Now, the courthouse steps were chaos. Paparazzi swarmed, cameras flashing like wildfire. Elias emerged first, his perfect suit catching the light, Senator Hayes at his side. Moments later, you stepped out with the victim’s parents clinging to your arm, their grief heavy against your resolve. Reporters screamed your names.
Mr. Morgan! Is your marriage in trouble now that your wife is on the other side? Elias adjusted his tie, his smirk practiced but sharp.
Marriage is personal. Courtrooms are business. And in business… His eyes flicked toward you across the chaos. …I don’t lose. The microphones immediately swung toward you.

Mrs. Morgan! Do you have a response?
