The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Twenty Two
Mrs Genevieve paused as she watched three men run towards her. She recognized them, they all happened to be in her security team, and the man in the center happened to be the head of the department. She smiled to herself, their timing was perfect and now she didn't have to stress herself looking for them. “Ma'am, are you alright?” Her head security quizzed, his expression marred with worry as he took in her figure.“Why wouldn't I be okay?” She fired back, craving another glass of wine.“We heard about the commotion with the ladies but we had been dealing with other issues,” the head of security explained with a somber look. “We apologize for our absence. We promise it won't happen again.”Mrs. Genevieve didn't bat her lash as the three men bowed, mumbling their sorry.“I was coming for you guys actually,” she caught the way they all visibly winced and she immediately clarified, “It has nothing to do with your absence, relax jeez. I can handle myself just fine.” The men peeped at ea

Keith threw his head back and let out a laugh. “She just won't take the hint.”Camila's eyes narrowed on Keith who appeared to be too calm despite his ex-girlfriend's confrontation. She watched as he brushed the stray strands away from his face. “Your ex is so problematic. She didn't know that was your party, did she?*Keith thought about the answer to give her and he nodded hopefully she won't ask for an explanation. “No.”“And she doesn't know how wealthy you are?” Camila asked but Keith could tell that she already knew what the answer would be.Keith nodded, “Yes, for several reasons.”Camila smirked and emptied her wine glass, “Shall we?” She nudged her head at the stairs, “I'm in the mood for more wine.”“Yeah me too, let's go.”Keith gulped down nothing and silently agreed. He needed a drink for liquid courage so he wouldn't back down when he wanted to ask her to dance. He wondered what could be on Camila's mind as they silently made their way down the spiral stairs and as they

Keith kept his eyes on Camila as she spoke to one of the guests about her work. He watched how her eyes brimmed with pride each time the man complimented her, the way her resolve would go down a little when she laughed. She seemed less stiff, a clear sign she was relaxed. But the reason Keith was not fuming with jealousy while she conversed with another man was because he caught her glance in his direction more than once as she talked with the other man. Whenever he would meet her gaze his chest filled with a sense of pride that she was acknowledging him. But that didn't mean he still didn't want to bury his fist into the man's face for using up part of the time he was supposed to be spending with Camila. “Pretty girl you've got there,” Keith reluctantly dragged his gaze off Camila and twirled around to face Mrs. Genevieve. She was dressed in another dress from the one she had on earlier, he noted and her makeup was also now lighter and neutral looking.“Thank you. You did an excel

It's been a week since the incident at Keith's party and things have been going great with Keith. Not only has he not run into the Hockings family, his businesses were doing great, and things with Camila were going great. They have had more meetings and he could feel that Camila was more comfortable with him. Anytime they were together she would tease him and tell him about her day he listened to her rant about her work. She no longer kept their conversations strictly business and she seemed more inclined to have conversations with him.Keith leaned into the cushion of the car seat and glanced out the window. His life was going well and he couldn't wait for it to get better. And that will be happening sooner when he gets started on his revenge plan. The car finally pulled over to a stop and his driver announced his arrival at his destination. “Thank you,” he mumbled and pushed the door open to get out of the car. A gust of wind welcomed him as he stepped out of the car, the warm feel
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Twenty Seven
All eyes turned to Sheila where she stood poorly hidden behind the pillar, her eyes grew wide with fear as the armed men positioned themselves to face her and aimed their weapons at her. She gulped down nothing, the hair at the back of her neck was standing straight and a shudder went down her spine.This is not good, Sheila thought to herself, glancing around swiftly for an escape. Her gaze met briefly with Keith who sat with his legs crossed regarding her with a smile that made Sheila realize she had indeed made the wrong move coming in, she should have listened to Frank. “There is another one, boss,” A firm voice snapped everyone's attention from Sheila, and Sheila's eyes grew wide, the last ounce of hope she had deserting her as a man in a black suit shoved Frank into the center, holding him at gunpoint.She thought of making a run for it, but the cold metal that was pressed against her lower back killed the plan faster than a lighted matchstick. “Put your hands up where I can s

Sheila's face was so pale one would be worried that she would faint. She glanced around frantically hoping somebody_ or anybody would bust out laughing and tell her it was a joke and Keith was their butler. Anything else that didn't suggest Keith was rich.“That's not true,” Sheila said, shaking her head left to right as if to shake off what she had just heard.Frank stayed completely still with his mouth wide open. How on earth could the Keith that had been begging him for more days so he could pay off his debt, the Keith who had been hustling his ass off, how did he manage to own a company. Not just any company but the Ancient Wealth companies. Frank knew nothing much about the company, no one knew anything about it, but the rumor about the company was that it belonged to very powerful people. Those people had been known as the wealthiest people in the world. And now it belonged to Keith Thompson, how could that be possible? The thought of it caused Frank's head to hurt and his clue

“What problem?” Sheila asked, her face marred with a frown as she took her attention from Frank to her father. She dropped her purse onto the center table.A gasp pulled all their attention away from Mr. Hockings to face Mrs. Hockings, “Sheila, what happened to your face?”Instinctively, Sheila raised her hand to her face to cover it. “It's not important.”Mr. Hockings dropped the files he was holding and matched to where Sheila was standing then pushed her hand off to examine her face. “Did this bastard hit you?” He glared at Frank advancing towards him.Sheila immediately got between them, “No Dad, can we please talk about this later? Let's discuss the problem first.” Mr. Hockings doesn't look convinced but backs away, “This better not be your doing Frank, or you are a dead man. Mark my words.” Frank didn't flinch as he watched with no reaction.“Your father ran into problems with some of his investments,” Mrs. Hockings explained.Mr. Hockings scoffed, “By some, you mean most.

"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. Costumes check, the guys who would keep watch, check and what again?” Smart asked as Riley came in.“Your ears and eyes, check,” Riley said.“W

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? Does he truly have no knowledge of this development, or is he feigning ignorance to sway public opinion in his favor? As the investigation continues, we are committed to uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. Stay with us as we dig deeper into this unfolding story. Reporting live, this is Nicki Samson.Keith turned off the television as he leaned on the table, folding his hands.“So, what next?” Smart asked.“We will investigate his office.

"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. Duncan pretended like he didn't hear what his brother said."Mr. Daniels, you are aware that you have been linked to the victim, and to the crime scene
