The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Forty Nine
Camila felt as though the world had stopped spinning and was now standing still when his lips finally met hers again. The flutter in her heart grew with intensity, relishing how soft and warm his lips felt against hers. Her eyes remained tightly shut afraid that when she opened them all this would be a dream and it would be over, so she kept them tightly shut to avoid any distraction, while she kept her hands clenched on her lap, hesitant to reach out to him afraid she would be met with nothing and it would ruin the perfect daze. This was not her first kiss and yet the moment felt sacred and she felt the desperate need to savor and treasure the moment in every bit of it. She had long imagined how it would feel to kiss Keith, it had never really been her intention to want this type of relationship with him but very slowly he had crept under her skin, so far that she no longer knew how to push him away anymore. Soon she began noticing him more than usual, the gaze held became longer an

Keith walked into his new company smiling like someone who had just found treasure at the end of a rainbow. He looked stunning in his dark blue three piece suit, his hair gelled back and looking shiny with a few curls peeking out of the slicked back hair. The smile he had on his face was so wide it was almost stretching to reach his ears and big enough for anyone to notice. As he walked in, the people around threw glances in his direction and bowed respectfully when he passed their fronts. The long walk was disrupted when Keith glanced up the stairs he was just about to climb and saw Mr. Kevin at the top of the stairs approaching him. Keith paused his movement to watch Mr. Kevin as he came, he studied the old man's expression and could not resist the urge to exhale in relief when he studied Mr. Kevin's face to see no sign of distress or worry. Not that he was expecting there to be trouble but most times when Mr. Kevin needed his attention it was usually to report something not going

Mr. Marlow immediately paled and blanched, his jaw clenched tighter together and his eyes darkened in anger then the moment he tried to lunge forward at Keith, but he was quickly held back by John who immediately got between the two men and placing a hand on Mr. Malcom's chest to keep him back. Keith raised a brow at the old man, his eyes narrowed in a challenge. “Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Malcom, it seems like you are interested in creating a scene.”Mr. Marlow opened his mouth to say something but John was quicker and chipped in instead, “No, Mr. Thompson, I can assure you that Mr. Marlow had no intention to make such actions, right Mr. Malcolm?” John said the latter part of the sentence through gritted teeth, narrowing his gaze as if to pass a message to him. But Mr. Marlow stood gallant, with anger written all over his face and hands clenched in a tight fist his knuckles turning white. “Get out of my way, John.”John's eyes widened seeing his tactic was not working so he

Sheila bit down on her lower lip hard enough to draw blood, her face was scrunched up into a worried frown and her eyes wide and looking around the room frantically. She glanced at the blank screen of her phone screen lying on her bed, she had been holding it minutes ago while she was on a call with Frank who had put her in this tense mood when he told her over the phone that he had big news for her and from the tone of his voice, Sheila suspected the big news wasn't a happy news. She glanced nervously at the door expecting it to be pushed open any moment from now but the more seconds the door stayed closed the more her anxiety grew. These days for her and her family have not been too good, although they have seen worse days but the days were mostly always sullen and oddly too quiet. Her father was on the brink of losing everything, and it got so bad that they had to relieve some of the workers from their jobs earlier today because her family's financial issues were that bad. But She

Keith had learned to be self reliant and fend for himself from a young age. Yes, his family was financially buoyant but they had been lacking in more ways than it could be counted. He couldn't remember much about the times he spent with his parents but he would never forget the irreplaceable hole in his heart they caused with their absence. His parents had been busy people, always going from one business meeting to another, and rarely spent time at home, so they would leave Keith all alone in the big house. Of course, he had the company of the workers and his nanny but none could ever make up for their absence. He remembered those days when his nanny took him to the playground and he would always go home crying after he watched other children with their parents and that made his wounds sting painfully. He could remember when his nanny would try to pacify him and make excuses for his parents’ absence but he was sure of one thing, that nothing his nanny could ever tell him could ever l

Keith's head snapped upward at the sound of the door opening, the cup of coffee he was holding paused against his lips to watch who was working in. He set his cup down and a smile graced his lips as he watched Camila ask in. Camila was not a small person, not in height or build, she was taller than most ladies and especially inches taller than Sheila. Camila's build was more fleshy and round, her hips were craved to fit in any wear perfectly and although she was lacking in the bust area, the hip was enjoying to cover for it. Each time Keith got to see Camila, he got enthralled by her radiating beauty. Camila's eyes blazed with a look of desire as their gaze met, her lips slowly stretching into a smile. “Keith.”Keith felt his groin area tighten when her melodic voice reached his ears and soothed his insides. He kept his eyes trained on her lips, and his eyes darted immediately back to meet her eyes when she made a small sound from the back of her throat. Camila's eyes grew wide from

In not less than a week, Keith had already been able to put together a solid team to help with his idea to have a business venture into real estate and it had only been possible with the help of his girlfriend, Camila. At first, Keith had expected Camila to be hostile about his idea to go into the same business she was involved with, but it was the opposite. Actually, Camila was ecstatic with the idea and has offered him the ultimate support to be of help in any way she could. They began with his idea earlier this week, and Camilla had eagerly provided him with enough personnel from both inside and outside her business who were skilled in the arts of the work then they began business plotting, outlining the investment strategy, target market, and even an exit strategy. Camila also assisted with networking and building relationships with other real estate agents, contractors, lenders, and other professionals that Camila thought could be of help in the industry and could provide valuabl

“It is such a great pleasure, Miss. Joffery, I look forward to working with you.” Mr. Kevin complimented, his cheeks slightly flustered and a proud smile on his face. “I have always wished to work with you again after our cooperation the other time and the time has finally come and I could not be anything less than excited," Keith groaned in displeasure, the smile he fixed on his face slipping off, Jesus this man talked way too much for his good. He peeped at Camila from the corner of his eyes and he quickly noticed how she drummed her fingers against the wooden table and he assumed it was because she was getting impatient. His lips quivered into a smirk as he sneakingly eased closer in her direction, ensuring that his body brushed against hers as he did so. God, he needed to be alone with Camila now and this cock blocking old man was getting on his nerves.“Thank you, Mr. Kevin,” he said, interrupting the chatty old man not able to contain his impatience anymore. “I am certain, Miss

"Abraham Corner, you are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of Mrs. Genevieve. You are further sentenced to an additional 25 years for the murder of Adam Kurt and 15 years for the coercion and unlawful imprisonment of your employees. These sentences will run consecutively. May this serve as a reminder that no one is above the law." The courtroom erupted into noise as reporters shouting questions, spectators murmuring in shock, and some even clapping in approval. Keith turned to Camila, who sat in silent disbelief, her eyes welling with tears."It’s over. You’re free." Keith said softly as Camila looked at Evelyn, who stood tall and calm, a small but victorious smile on her face.The judge banged his gavel to restore order."Bailiff, escort the defendant out of the courtroom. Court is adjourned." The judge said as the bailiffs approached Abraham, he turned to Sheila, his face dark and menacing."You think you’ve won? This isn’t over."

"You’ll soon be free." He said as Camila nodded, her lips trembling as she smiled. Tears welled in her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away, determined to stay strong.Sheila walked to the center of the courtroom, holding a remote control for the court’s audiovisual system."Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to present a video to the court. Before I play it, I need to explain how I came into possession of this video." Sheila said to the judge. Mr. Nolan immediately rose to his feet."Objection, Your Honor. This is highly irregular. The prosecution cannot…" The judge held up a hand, cutting him off."Mr. Nolan, sit down. Ms. Hockings, you may proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Your Honor." Sheila said, nodding as She turned to face the courtroom, her voice steady and commanding."This video was obtained during my investigation into Mr. Corner’s workplace. It was anonymously sent to me by an employee who could no longer remain silent. The footage, captured by a

"Overruled. Ms. Warren, proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Mr. Wallace. No further questions." Sheila said, turning back to James. She called two more witnesses, each echoing similar stories of abuse, threats, and control. By the end, the jury looked visibly disturbed, and the courtroom buzzed with tension.Finally, Sheila took a deep breath and held up a document."Your Honor, I refer to Section 12.5 of the state constitution, which condemns any individual who uses power, intimidation, or violence to suppress others. Mr. Corner’s actions, as described by these witnesses, align perfectly with this behavior. This is not just a man who mistreats employees. This is a man capable of anything, including the crimes he’s charged with." She said as the courtroom erupted in whispers."What the actual hell! This man is a beast." Smart said, whispering loudly to Duncan."Focus, Smart. This is just the beginning. Let’s see how his lawyer responds." Duncan said, nodding grimly."Your Hon

"Your Honor, members of the jury, today we will uncover the truth about the heinous deaths of Mrs. Genevieve and Mr. Adam Kurt, the accused’s secretary. The evidence points clearly that Abraham Corner killed both of them . While Mr. Corner has denied any involvement, his actions, motives, and the surrounding circumstances tell a different story." She paused, turning slightly toward Abraham at the defense table. "Let’s begin by calling Mr. Corner to the witness stand.""Mr. Corner, please take the stand." The judge said as Abraham stood, his movements deliberate and unhurried. Dressed immaculately in a tailored suit, he exuded confidence as he made his way to the witness stand. His face was unreadable, a mask of composure.After being sworn in, he sat down, clasping his hands lightly on the armrest."Mr. Corner, let’s start with your relationship with Mrs. Genevieve. Were you friends? Business partners?" Ms Harding asked, approaching him with a calm but piercing intensity."Neither. We

Abraham's lawyer came to see him in prison with threatening news.“No one is on your side. They are all against you,” the lawyer said as Abraham clenched his fists.“Make sure you do everything in your power to get me out of here. I can't be here,” Abraham said as the lawyer nodded.“I'll do everything possible. We have a hearing tomorrow. We'll make sure you win the case,” the lawyer said as Abraham sighed.The next day, Sheila prepared for the initial hearing. She wasn't going to miss it for anything. She was going to follow everything so they don't end up losing. While she was preparing, she suddenly felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and threw up.“Are you okay? What's going on?” Duncan asked, going to her but she refused his help.“I'm fine. What are you doing here?” She asked him as he felt bad.“Just wanted to check up on you,” he said.“I'm fine,” she said, walking out.The courtroom is tense as Abraham was brought in.

They searched through drawers, cupboard for over an hour but still didn't get anything while Abraham was attending to his guests. Adam came forward to say something when the atmosphere changed. Abraham wondered what the problem was until he saw Adam. He clenched his jaw, getting angry.“I have something to discuss with you, sir,” he said as Abraham dragged him to a corner “Are you trying to get me angry?” Abraham asked.“Sir, I need to report something to you,” Adam said but Abraham wasn't having any of it.“Get out. Don't show your face till this is over. Don't you have any shame? Seriously, I'm already getting pissed,” Abraham said, walking away.“Guys, you need to get out of there. Abraham is coming your way,” Riley said as Smart ran out immediately. Keith found a secret room. Just as he was about to check it out, Duncan held him in his hand.“We need to leave now. Abraham is coming,” Duncan said as Keith nodded.“Okay. Let's go,” Keith said as they left. When Abraham came inside

“Are you boys ready?” Duncan asked, joining the team as Smart scoffed.“We're not boys. We're grown ass men. One of us has a child while you're still in a complicated relationship because you chose to while I'm just being myself,” Smart pointed out.“He is not in a complicated relationship. He just isn't into any relationship. I heard Sheila broke it off with him. She said she was no longer interested in his back and forth relationship,” Keith said as Smart laughed.“That serves him right,” Smart said as he and Keith fistbumbed.“Guys, I'm right here,” Duncan said, announcing his presence.“You are? We don't see you,” Smart said as Keith laughed while Duncan rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Everything is ready and planned out. We just have to enter his house without being noticed and get right back,” Duncan said as they nodded.“Then let's do this.

New evidence has surfaced, and it challenges everything we thought we knew about this case. Could it be that Camila Joffrey, accused of murder, has been wrongfully implicated? How is it that Mr. Corner’s secretary is now tied to the crime scene? Was this connection overlooked, or deliberately concealed? And what about Mr. Corner himself?

"Yeah, I saw him leave too. He was driving really fast, and he didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to get anywhere. It was... suspicious." A neighbor said as whispers were heard."The court will now take a recess. We will reconvene at 3 o'clock to continue these proceedings. Please remember that all court rules and decorum remain in effect during this time. Court is adjourned." The judge said as he struck the gavel.The courtroom is tense, the murmur of the spectators subsiding as the defense lawyer Sheila Hockings, rises to her feet, ready to call the next witness. She gestures toward Adam, who was seated at the witness stand. Sheila moves forward, poised and determined, as the jury watches attentively.“Remind me why I love her again,” Duncan said as Smart looked at him.“I don't know. I think you don't know your problem,” Smart said.
