What would have happend if Catherine didn't become a detective but a lawyer, as she had planned in the first place? Let's find out!

Chapter one.

Catherine worked together with her friend Tess as a lawyer in a famous chancellery in New York.

In the majority of their cases they tried to get people free who were wrongfully imprisoned or divorced couple in difficult social situations. While Tess was in a relationship with J.T Forbes, a university professor, Cat was with Manuel, a tall, handsome and very well- built firefighter.

They had met at her parents wedding and somehow they just genuinely liked each other. They started dating days later, became a couple weeks later and started arguing about the most dispensable topics only months later.

Catherine's POV

I woke up by the annoying noise of my alarm clock, just to start my day with some fresh coffee and a lot of work to look forward to.

I was at home alone because Manuel was still out on his night shift. I often missed him at nights because he left before I came home at night and came back when I was at work already. Not that I was in the mood for anything after 12 hours of work but it would be nice to spend some time together with my boyfriend.

But if I'm honest with myself, we somehow started getting distant a while ago.

When I entered the kitchen I stopped, surprised and amazed buy bunches of flowers all over the room.

Maybe we weren't that drifted apart as I assumed.

A little letter rested on the counter:" Catherine, I hope you like the flowers! I want you to know that I love you!"

But my excitement faded quickly when I got a text from Tess:

" We have to go! I'll pick u up in 10!" Now wasn't the time for flowers or a peaceful breakfast! I changed into a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt and waited for Tess. Only minutes later she knocked on my door.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

I grabed my purse and anwered:"let's go!"

Vincent's POV

Today I finally had my day off after a long week as a doctor at the NY general.

I loved the job but it's but it's hard to keep up with the pace of the hospital and it's long shifts.

The resulting problem was that work took away the precious time that I rather wanted to spend with my wife.

I married Tori Winsor five years ago. We have our ups and downs in our relationship but who doesn't, right? And she is a wonderful woman! I met her at a birthday of JT, a good friend if mine. Since then I felt something special when I was with her, a feeling that I couldn't quite describe.

I got up from my bet to find a note from Tori:" good morning honey, I made coffee! I'm out to get some groceries, I'll be back soon!"

When I was in the shower, my phone started ringing and assuming that it was an emergency at the hospital I quickly grabbed a towel and ran to get the call.

A second later I lost my balance at the slippery ground and fell, causing my left ankle to make a disgusting sound. I crawled through half my apartment because my broken ankle made walking impossible.

The ad that had caused my phone to ring in the first place, didn't lighten my mood either. I called the ambulance because working wasn't an option anymore and carefully tried to dress appropriately with something else then a towel.

This was just exactly what I needed: 3 months off from work till I would be able to survive a whole shift at the hospital again.

I guess I'm just not the type of person who can hang around at home lazily all day and by the way doctors just make the worst patients.

After the examination was over Tori came by.

"Honey, what happened?" she asked. I explained everything to her, not without feeling totally stupid for my silly accident. When I was done she kissed me carefully as if I was terminally ill. In the moment she was close to me, I immediately knew that something was different. Only seconds later I knew the reason: she smelled differently and the parfume was neither the one she used nor was it female at all.

But she wouldn't cheat on me, would she...?

Hey guys I should continue. Tell me what you think of this chapter will update soon xoxo.
