My Devious Soul

Turnaround

Elijah's POV:
Another trial came and it was Miriam's turn.As usually Yana and I got ourselves ready and Bruno drove us to the court.

We sat down in the third row on the left side and waited for the trial to begin.

We spotted Miriam,Zaire and Mr.Dallas in the front.

"You think,she's going to win?"Yana asked staring at me with worry in the eyes."There might be a chance,if the judge accepts her claims."I said my opinion,then I took a quick deep breath and added"But since her USB-Stick is missing,it's going to be hard."And I added a smirk at the end.

The trial started and I was excited to see,if she succeeds.

"Ms.Klein,your claims are pretty plausible,but do you have the source or the proof of them?"The judge said to her her,"Yeah,I do!"She nodded and said with confidence."Please show us."The judge demanded politely.

"Gladly."Miriam uttered before she started looking into the same purse she had when I met her at the hotel,everyone waited for her.

Her face slowly started to look desperate and her hands became rapid while digging in her purse.

She stopped and looked up at the judge,she chuckled and said"I must have forget them at home."

The judge gave her a mercy look and maintained sincerely"I'm sorry,but if you can't show the source,then it's hard to testify."

Suddenly Miriam gained confidence and spoke"But may I call my witness?"

Everyone started chattering in a low voice.

I just sat there still wanting to know how it'll go on.

The judge accepted and Miriam moved her gaze to the door and so did everyone else.

The two police officers opened the huge doors and suddenly the person that I'd never expected to see entered the courtroom handcuffed and with two cops around him.

"Is this a coincidence or an act?"I asked myself when I saw Ezekiel entering the room.

He was walking the aisle not showing an emotion,but he gave around an arrogant vibe.

All the attention in the room was aimed on him.The handcuffs got removed when he arrived in front of Miriam and I saw how she gave him a smile.Ezekiel was told to go to the witness stand and so he did.

I looked at Yana who just sat there not knowing how to react.I gently grabbed after her hand and as our hands touched,they immediately intertwined perfectly.

"Please introduce yourself!"The judge demanded looking at Ezekiel."My name's Ezekiel Isaac Leonte,I'm Alexander's son."He introduced himself with confidence,everyone started chattering in a low voice.

"Silence please!"Demanded the judge and it was silence."Ms.Klein,please take the lead."Said the judge,Miriam nodded and she started questioning Ezekiel.

"Do you confirm that Alexander Leonte was the one who suggested to steal the information about the project JSD?"Miriam asked,"Yes,I do!"Ezekiel answered."Do you confirm that Alexander Leonte threatened Zaire Bankole with death?"She questioned,"Yes,I do!"He replied without a doubt."And the last question,where do you know all these information?"Miriam wanted to know,"My father told me just a few days before Mr.Bankole got arrested."Ezekiel answered the last question.

Silence stroke the room and everyone waited to see what the judge says."I'll announce the verdict after a ten minutes break."Said the judge and we all were dismissed.

I suggested Yana to go somewhere private and so we did.

"What if she wins?"Yana asked desperately,"Then she wins."I answered not showing an emotion."But how did she even find Ezekiel?"Was her big question walking around frustrated.I shook my head watching her and answered in a low voice"I don't know."

The break was over and everyone was pumped up about the verdict.

"We've heard all the important evidences and claims and my verdict for Mr.Bankole's case is-"But the judge got interrupted by one of his men who tapped him on the right shoulder.The judge leaned in and something got whispered in his ear.

Everyone started chatting not knowing what is happening.As the judge turned to us it was silence.

"I just received a very important information that is going to change today's verdict."He informed us clearly.

"Mr.Leonte has a brother who's going to attend to the next trial and who also wants to claim some evidence and I would also like to see,if the claims are the same as the ones from Mr.Leonte here."He explained.

"So today's verdict is still guilty."The judge announced and hit with gavel on the sounding block.I smirked and was satisfied that phone call worked.

Elijah's memories:
"Let's go back."Yana suggested two minutes before the trial was about to start,"You can go first,I'll have to give a phone call."I informed her,Yana left and I dialed a number.

"New York County Supreme Courthouse,my name's Claudia Sanchez,how can I help you?"A female voice answered."Hello,my name's Elijah Sinclair Creed and I'd like to attend to the Zaire Bankole's trial."I announced adding a smirk.

Elijah's POV:
Everyone stood up and left and so did Yana and I.

"What just happened?"Yana asked me while we were walking to the car where Bruno was waiting for us.

We got inside and she asked me curiously"What did you do?"I gave her a smirky look and replied"I just gave a phone call and announced that I'd like to attend to the trial and the rest did the staff of the court."

Yana's eyes widened and she smiled not believing what she just heard.

"No way!"She exclaimed.

"That means I'm going to be your secret witness since no one knows that is me."I said winking my right eye,Yana chuckled and approached her lips to mine,I approached my lips too and we kissed passionately.
