Mike

Once upon a time, Mike and Sarah were more than just law students; they were each other's everything. Shared notes, nights before exams, legal debates... and in between, a mad love that was impossible to hide from. They were drawn to each other as strongly as they were torn apart.

But a couple of months before graduation, everything collapsed. A scandal. Words that could never be forgotten. Bitterness stronger than feelings. They parted, cutting off everything - numbers, promises, the future. Different cities. Different lives. Only one thing remained unchanged: they both became the best. Dear. Cold lawyers.

After 6 years, fate decided to play with them.

Courtroom.

Sarah entered first, confident and cool, as if the years had burned away all that was superfluous. She didn't look around... until she felt someone watching her.

Mike was already there.

He leaned back lazily in his chair, as if it were a normal thing. But the corner of his lips twitched when he saw her.

"Well, well," he said quietly, almost mockingly, leaning a little closer as she passed by. "I never thought I'd see you again... and right across from you."

Sarah stopped and slowly turned her head.

“The world is small,” she answered coldly.

Mike chuckled, his gaze sliding over her a little longer than was proper.

"You're still the same," he added a little quieter. "Only now it's officially my problem."

She took a step closer, leaning in just enough so that only they could hear their words.

"You're wrong," Sarah said calmly, but with a spark in her voice. "You're my downfall now."

There was silence between them for a second.

And that same old spark is dangerous, alive.

Now there are more than just memories between them. Now it's war. Every word is a blow. Every piece of evidence is a challenge. Every meeting is like a duel.

Mike chuckled softly.

"We'll see, Sarah..." His voice dropped, almost playful. "I'm not going to give in to you this time."

And the main question now is not only who will win the case... but in which of them will endure the other first.
