Blaze Deception: A Villain in a Hero's Disguise

ON HIATUS!!! THE AUTHOR CAN'T UPDATE IT FOR NOW. All I wanted was a simple life: love, shelter, food, my hobby of motorcycling. But fate granted me wealth and power, shackling my freedom. Forced into a life of social expectations and heir training, I obeyed for my family's honor and my love for them as Honor and Pride were unshaken pillars of my family. Despite not being strict, they didn't mess around with traditions. To me, they were my heroes, pillars of kindness. Yet the very target of their kindness, the people they saved and protected, became the ones who burned them to their death. Betrayal tore them from me, shattering the good heart they cultivated in me and plunging me into darkness. Only one question left: What do I do!? Revenge!! That's what my heart shouted at me as my heart turned cold. Can I reclaim the heroism they instilled in me, or am I destined to become the villain that grew within me? __________ This novel might have slower or faster pacing in some places. The first volume focuses more on the MC's backstory. The villain's acts and deceptions will be in the second volume. Regarding romance, I haven't added a tag yet. Let's see how the story goes and whether there's a need for romance. I'm still new to writing, so please bear with me. Tell me your suggestions via comments. Thank you!

The Verdict

Sitting back in my chair, I whispered to Vince and Greg, "Ellis is good. Really good. I wonder how Cook's going to win this one, or if Ellis will tear his case apart."

Both of them nodded, their eyes fixed on the courtroom. We all wanted the same thing: for Mr. Salud to be found guilty. We believed he was responsible for Stephanie's death, but we couldn't ignore the fact that Ellis was doing a damn good job of casting doubt.

Still, no matter how good Ellis was, I hoped the evidence would speak louder than her words. We wanted justice for Stephanie. But the truth was, in this courtroom, it wasn't always about the truth. It was about who could convince the jury. And right now, I wasn't sure who that would be.
