I yawned as I stopped the engine of my car. I was finally home. I opened my front door and walked in. Carmen was sitting on the couch with her mouth wide open staring at something on her phone.

"Hey babe."

I kissed her cheek before I walked to the counter where she had stacked all my mail. I opened them one by one when I found one of a speeding fine. I didn't drive my car for the last 3 weeks but even then I don't drive over the speed limit that much. I was not gonna pay that. It was 647 pounds. That's a lot of money for a speeding fine that isn't mine. I called my lawyer and he said he would get a case on this and dig in a little bit deeper. It better be wrong because there's no way that this is mine.

I threw myself on the couch next to Carmen as we watched a movie together. Carmen is such a nice person. It's what attracted me to her. We snuggled up together as it's been a while since we've seen each other.

It's been over a month since I got that stupid fine and here I am. Dressed in a suit as I'm going to court. My lawyer tried to fight the fine without court but it wasn't a success. I met up with him in front of the building.

"George! There you are! Good morning."

"Theo. Good morning to you too."

I looked at the middle aged man in front of me. He was one of the best and graduated at the top of his class. He's a family friend of mine and he's known me since I was a kid. It was what made it so nice to have him as a lawyer. He knows almost everything about me.

"Shall we go in? Get settled in our seats."

"Sounds good to me."

We walked into the beautiful court building in the heart of London as we chatted a little bit about the case. We took place behind one of those classic wooden tables and then the doors opened to reveal this beautiful girl.

(Imagine that the dress is a perfect tight fit)

That girl was absolutely gorgeous. She carried herself as if she owned the place. Her heels clicking in a perfect rhythm while she was taking beautiful and elegant strides across the room. She placed her bag on the wooden table beside us as she pulled out files. She then placed her bag on the ground.

"You have got to be kidding me."

I looked to my side to look at Theo. He looked taken back as he swallowed and watched the girl on the other table as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"What?"

"That's Miss Huntington... she lives up to her given nickname apparently... they call her the angel in disguise... she looks and acts all sweet like an angel but she's the devil. She will and can destroy anyone even if she follows every rule of the court... she's unbeatable."

"She doesn't look like she's a devil."

"That's the trick. She's charming and a sweetheart until the trial starts."

I was looking at the side profile of the girl. Her button nose, her defined jaw and all those other beautiful features. The judges came in and everybody stood up. When everybody sat down the judge spoke up.

"This case has been opened. Miss Huntington... you may start."

"Thank you your honor."

The beautiful slime girl stood up and smiled gratefully at the judge.

"Mister Russell... I would like to ask you ti step up onto the floor."

She gracefully pointed her hand from me to the chair next to the judge.

"Of course."

I heard Theo curse under his breath. That was the moment I knew I was gonna be fucked over. She had the most polite yet knowing smile on her lips a person could ever carry but all I could think about was how they would taste. That's wrong I know. I'm in a relationship with Carmen... I stepped up and sat down. I said my oath to be truthful and then started listening to the beautiful brunette.

"Mister Russell... may I ask where you were on the 3rd of September at night?"

"Uhm... I was out with friends."

"May I assume you were out clubbing and drinking?"

"You may."

"And how much did you drink?"

"I don't remember."

"So you were drunk?"

"I suppose so..."

She nodded as she silently looked around the room and then slowly walked to her table. She opened a file before sharply turning on her high heels and looking me directly in the eyes with a polite smile.

"Mister Russell... I'm gonna show you a picture. I want you to tell me who you see."

She placed a copy on the judges stand, Theo's table and then last she handed me one.

"I see... Rob, Ivan, Finn and myself."

"Those are your friends correct?"

"Yes."

"Could you tell me whose car that is?"

"That my car."

"And is it correct that you are sitting behind the wheel of the vehicle?"

"Yes... I was."

"Tell me Mister Russell... what time did you leave the club?"

"I think around 3:30 AM."

"Looking at camera footage of the street you stepped into the car at 5:23 AM. You and your friends were stumbling along the side walk..."

She nodded to a person who sat at the other side of the room and a video was played on the flatscreen that was connected on the wall. There I was... walking with my friends while we indeed were drunken. Then the video played of me driving insanely fast.

"I think we can establish that that is you... right, Mister Russell?"

"...yeah..."

"So not only were you speeding an awful lot... you were under influence while driving in a car with 3 passengers. You are aware that the fine you have gotten isn't as high as it should be because you were drunk. There is also footage of the fact you were on your phone which would increase the fine even more. So with that I think we could close this case and state that you are in fact guilty of speeding, driving under influence and using a phone behind the wheel?"

I staid quiet as I looked at her. She really destroyed Theo and me. She had enough evidence and she did not leave a crumb to let Theo try and make it less bad.

The case was closed and I was left with not only the speeding fine... I was left with a fine for driving while influenced, driving while using my phone and all the other expenses of the court.
