    Summary

    They were always circling each other. Not friends, not enemies, just two sharp minds locked in orbit. Valeria Simone Argonza (S) thrived on precision and control, ambition so quiet it could cut. Cleo Evangeline Olivarez (J) was chaos with a smirk—brilliant, reckless, always one step ahead without ever seeming to try.

    They ruled the top of their law class like twin storms. Cleo cracked jokes during cross-exams, leaned back in oral arguments like it was a game—and still always won. People said they were obsessed. Maybe they were. Valeria just knew Cleo made everything harder—and impossible to ignore.

    Then Cleo vanished.

    Months prior graduation. No goodbye. The next morning, news broke: the entire Olivarez family, found murdered. No suspects. No coverage. Cleo’s name never mentioned. Like she'd been erased.

    Valeria buried it. Built her career. Learned to win.

    Until the headline:
    CLEO EVANGELINE OLIVAREZ ARRESTED FOR FAMILY MURDERS.

    Her mugshot: older, hollow-eyed. But the smirk remained.

    Valeria stared, breath caught.

    But still, she filed the paperwork.

    She would defend her.
    Because someone had to. And maybe, deep down, she always knew it would end like this.
