I was 26 years old and had graduated from Harvard Law just two months earlier. I even graduated early, in January instead of May. I had a great job at one of the top three law firms in the country. I was making $125,000/year, plus a generous annual bonus. On top of that, I had an absolutely beautiful girlfriend. She was 24, and was just about to finish her second year at Harvard Law. I had it made. Everything in my life was perfect.
My girlfriend, Linda, was great. She was about 5'8", had sexy reddish brown hair, and a great body. She didn't have giant breasts, but her body looked very curvy and tight. She had great legs and a very pretty face.
Better still, despite only having been at my firm for two months, they had assigned me to the defense team for a very high profile case, and thus far, everyone was very impressed with how well I was contributing.
One day I talked through all the details of the case with Linda at night. Mostly I was trying to impress her. The next night, she told me that, to my surprise, the victim in the case had been a good friend of her friend Cindy. Cindy was a knockout. I always had to do my utmost to avoid staring at her when she was around. She and Cindy were best friends, so I knew she was off limits, but it was tough. Cindy was about 5'6", had dark brunette hair, and a stunning body. She had almost unnaturally large breasts for her tiny waist and a nice big round ass to boot. Anyways, Linda begged me not to defend the guy that had robbed Cindy's friend. I insisted that I didn't have a choice. Then, an idea popped into Linda's head. She remembered that I had explained that we had some information that the defendant had given us about where the stolen goods were. She latched onto that idea, begging me for hours to tell her. But, I wouldn't. I knew, and I explained to her, that giving something like that to the defense would be clear cause for disbarment, and would certainly get me fired. I held my ground, but she went to sleep very mad at me.
A few weeks later I was in a meeting at the firm when we got a phone call. The prosecution had found the stolen goods, and our client's fingerprints had been all over them. Our case was ruined. We were all disappointed, but that was the last I thought about it for a couple of weeks.
Then, one afternoon, the head of my firm called me into his office. He was pissed. He explained to me that the prosecution had handed over their evidence. When our firm had examined it, it had turned out that they had my copy of the information. He was irate. He fired me right on the spot and assured me that I would be disbarred.
I went home and thought it through. How would my copy have made it into the hands of the defense team? I couldn't believe it. Suddenly, the realization of what had happened hit me. Linda had copied it when I was out and given it to Cindy. I was absolutely enraged. I stormed around the house for two hours until Linda came home. As soon as she walked in I laid into her. At first she denied it, but after a minute she admitted what she had done. I was angrier than I had ever been. With one dumb move, she had ruined my entire future. We argued for hours.
Over the next couple of weeks we broke up a couple of times, tried to get back together, fought like crazy, and broke up again. Finally, I realized that it could never work. I would always harbor too much resentment for Linda. I broke it off for what I thought would be the final time, and didn't answer her emails or calls for two weeks. During those weeks, I did in fact get disbarred.
