A Legal Trap - Chapter 01
Author's Note:
Anyone who's not familiar with my work -
this is a fictional, over-the-top dark, non-con erotic story. If you do not like dark stories, please read something else in this platform
.
I missed good character development and their motivations in erotic stories (that's what makes erotic stories different from porn). It's in non-con category but it doesn't reach there from the get-go. I've tried to show humane side of all characters, including the negative ones in this story.
CAUTION:
For grammar fanatics, this is an intentionally lengthy story. Editing it for typos and grammatical errors was a nightmare. I've tried my best but still some errors might have slipped through.
***************************
This is a saga of crime and pursuit of absolute power. How a young innocent lawyer gets trapped in between.
"The Devil"
Part I - Infestation
"They don't have shit on Dad. The entire deposition was a way to intimidate us. I guess they should know better. We are the ones who does the intimidation stuff not the other way around," said Samuel "Sammy" Matthews.
A 21-year-old hot headed son of the most notorious gangster of the city. The prosecutor's office had finished the deposition just a few hours ago. They offered him a chance to plead guilty of all charges and they'll remove death penalty off the table.
Frank Matthews, a 45-year-old gangster, who had the strong hold on the entire city for over two decades. As a black kid, he struggled with racism. Until one day he flipped and took the life of crime. He swore to always be the biggest threat in any room. It worked for over two decades.
Everything changed when James Oliver became district attorney for the second term. He kept his distance from Frank during the first term. When a representative of a political party approached him and suggested to tackle the crime if he wishes to have political career in future. He planted the seed in James' head. The future governor must prove that he was hard on crime when he had the opportunity. When Kevin Murphy, Frank's right-hand man died last year, it was the perfect opportunity to target him. This was the weakest Frank has ever been.
"Frank has retained me as his lawyer through everything, for one reason. I tell him things exactly as they are and not sugarcoat things. Depositions are no indication to trials. A lot of times prosecution can surprise you in a trial. I know James personally. He would never go to a trial if he can't win it. Track record matters a lot to him," said Carter Murphy, a famous defense lawyer for rich or criminals.
He had represented many gangsters before Frank including the brutal Casey "Butcher" Marion. Casey was the symbol of white power during his time in the city. He was fucking his mistress when Frank shot him dead. Frank's fearless attitude became an instant household chatter. This helped him take over Casey's entire operation. Frank became the new godfather to the entire city.
Kevin Murphy was Casey's right-hand man and after his death became loyal to Frank. Kevin and Carter were brothers. The city knew them as "King Makers". Kevin was the older brother and had hold on everything.
Frank's illusion of true power broke after Kevin's death. He managed so many processes and people flawlessly. Now there was no one left to fill that void. This was the exact opening James needed to crack down on his gang. A perfect opportunity to lay down the foundation of a future political career.
"So, what are you trying to say? You can't do anything? We all should give up?" said Sammy with clear irritation in his voice.
"That's not what I said Sammy. And I would appreciate if you can show some respect to me when you talk. I'm not your college buddy," responded Carter.
Sammy took a deep breath and replied, "I'm sorry, Carter. I didn't mean any disrespect. I'm just pissed at that DA. He thinks he can get away with it." Sammy was young and brash but not a fool. He knew exactly what Carter meant for his father.
"My team can handle most evidence and witnesses they have. The problem is jury. The young sexy lawyer from his team is the real threat. She's exceptionally smart and her track record during jury selection is impeccable. She has an unimaginable control over jury when she presents her arguments. And you know it's the jury who decides whether your father is guilty or not," said Carter.
"She can have an accident tomorrow. There won't be any problem then," said Sammy.
"Please don't do anything stupid. She's Jonathan Goldman's daughter. Your father might survive the case, but John's wrath would be beyond anyone's control. There's a rumor floating around criminal syndicates that he's a prominent member of the secret society. Yes, the rumors are true. If they can assassinate presidents, no one's out of their reach."
"Why would a daughter of a multi-billionaire work for the DA's office?"
"If you want to believe the gossip world then she doesn't get along with her father. It's kind of revolt from her. She married her university boyfriend against his wishes. But destiny had different plans for her. Her now husband is a devout Catholic and this bond worked its magic on her father. Now her father loves the husband more than her. The husband left his promising career and became a volunteer in the church, serving God upon one request by her father," said Carter.
The intrigue on Sammy's face forced him to continue the story. "The over-involvement of her father in her marriage caused her to lash out. She stopped going to the church and threatened her husband of divorce if he doesn't stop this madness. Guess what happened next?" asked Carter with a smirk on his face.
"What?" asked Sammy.
"Her father created his will, and his lawyer announced it few days later. After his death, everything equally divided between both. But there was a catch, power of attorney is given to the husband for everything. If she needs even a cent, she will need her husband's signature. To add cherry on top, if they ever get divorced for any reason, she'll be disowned entirely. Everything goes to the husband. John is a ruthless bastard, but he loves his daughter. He thinks he made a hard choice which will be best for her in the long run."
"Wow. That's some crazy shit. What if the husband kills him and divorces his daughter?" asked Sammy.
"The husband isn't pretending. He truly believes in God. He's a true Catholic. Plus, killing John is not an easy feat. Remember, prominent member of the secret society," said Casey.
"That's some crazy shit, man," said Sammy. He turned towards his dad and realized that he was lost in some deep thoughts. "Dad? What's wrong?"
Frank got out of his trance and said, "that bitch called me THE DEVIL."
