“Daddy,” Sheila mumbled as she approached her father who was also moving to meet her halfway, she glanced over her shoulder to confirm that her mother had indeed followed too as she hoped but then instead caught a glimpse of Keith jubilating with his mouthy stupid girlfriend, she scrunched her face in irritation to the view and was about to take her gaze away but instead her gaze landed on Frank who was still standing at the spot she had left him, the spot he stood to through her family into the mouth of the hungry sharks that lurked in the court. To be sincere she was still completely in shock over what Frank had done, how much of a chicken he ended up being. He was a freaking disappointment and Sheila was going to make sure he paid for it.“You just have a way of attracting the wrong guys, don't you?” Her father snarled as they finally met up halfway. Her eyes widened at the accusation before they narrowed back down to glare at her father, “Now it is my fault? Remember I only got i

Sheila was in awe as she stared at Keith's retreating figure who her father was still currently watching go.Mrs. Hockings frowned in confusion, blinking rapidly and trying to make sure that they were all staring at the same person, “Wait just to be sure we are all staring at each the same person. Does the person happen to be the lanky man wearing the blue shirt or is it Keith? Because they are standing so close to each other and I'm not sure who you guys are staring at, and why would we even be staring at Keith, if it was him anyway,” she rambled on, taking her gaze from her husband to her daughter before giving a disappointed pout when she came to realize that neither of them were paying her any attention or even making the tiniest attempt to give her a reply.Sheila's eyes narrowed on Keith Thompson, the man who had put them all in this mess, and ruined them until they had nothing. Why on earth would her father be considering such a man? Sheila's thoughts were quiet and almost empt

Camila's face brightened with a satisfied beam, she opened her mouth to say something but snapped it shut with a frown as her gaze glided over his shoulder.Keith frowned in confusion at her sudden change of mood, he made a move to turn his head and find out what got his girlfriend back into a sour mood after he had finally succeeded in making her smile, but Camila was faster, grabbing his shirt collar and pulling his face closer to hers, making sure his attention was solely on hers. Keith's confusion only grew as he examined Camila's face for a hint of what could be going on, “What?”Camila scoffed, “Don't look but your ex and her family are all staring in our direction.”Keith's confusion dropped, and he raised a brow at her, “Seriously?” He rolled his eyes and leaned back to turn his head and look back but once again Camila was faster as her hand hit the back of his head. Keith's mouth fell ajar, and his arm raised to his head to massage where he had just gotten the hit. “What was

“Wait!” Keith and Camila paused their movements both their attention moving back to the courthouse still swamped with reporters to find the Hockings family struggling to push through the crowd to reach them. The corner of Keith's lips tilted upward as he looked down at Camila to find her already staring and then she gave him an eye roll_ looking at her more intently and closely he could see the lines of exhaustion that were drawn on her face. He needed to get things over with the Hockings quickly so he could get his baby home so she could get the proper rest she deserved but had deprived herself of. Camila growled, “Well, this has to be interesting,” she mumbled dryly with no emotion on her face. Keith picked up her hand that he had dropped earlier when he thought he was going to put her in the car. He used his left hand to hold her left hand while his right hand slipped around her waist to tug her to himself. Camila did not protest and instead shuts the door to the car and then bu

An involuntary shudder went down her spine as her gaze met with Keith's harsh gaze. Her mother's eyes widened worriedly, “She said nothing, right Sheila?” Her mother butted in instantly.Keith scoffed, “I believe your mother needs an answer, Sheila.”Sheila gulped down nothing as she took in the look on each of the persons surrounding her, her heart began beating faster, she had made a mistake_ so much for biting down on her tongue it had done nothing to help matters. The noise from the reporters standing beside her grew, making her uneasiness worse. She hated how vulnerable she was at the moment and it was even worse that it was amidst so many people. She ached desperately to get defensive and get out of this place that has now begun to feel suffocating.“Sheila,” her mother's scolding voice snapped her out of her hyperventilating state and back to the matter at hand. She took her gaze off Keith and then to her mother whose gaze narrowed down in warning, “You did not say anything r

Keith shrugged, “I guess the discussion is over then.”Mrs. Hockings grabbed his arm. “No please, I'm begging you.”Keith shrugged her hand off, “Since you are already begging then there should not be a problem with you doing it properly.”Mrs. Hockings flinched as Keith's words registered, she peeped over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of her husband who was looking ready to slaughter the man asking for what felt like the impossible. If her assumptions were right then Keith was asking her and her family to go down on their knees to beg properly like he had requested. But Mrs. Hockings knew her husband and daughter well enough and needed no spokesman to reveal that her family would never scramble that low to Keith's level even at the risk of ending up roaming on the streets with nothing. And she was the only sensible one at the moment, the only one sensible enough to realize what was at risk and how badly it would affect them. She was the only one sensible enough to set things straig

“Yes there could be another way but I'm not seeing that way now, so it's either this or we lose.” “More like we already lost,” Sheila mumbled under her breath with clenched fists. She had nothing against her mother. She was happy her mother was doing the right thing and taking control of the situation, something her father and she could not do. She has caught the pure satisfaction that sparked in Keith's eyes several times now, he was enjoying himself, the moment where he was above them but Sheila was sure this moment would not last for too long, once all this was over she was going to get back at him and the stupid bitch leeching around him. But like they say, ‘Every day for the thief, one day for the owner’. Keith might as well enjoy this moment but once she and her family get what they wanted then she would show him just how bad she could get.Sheila released her father, grumbling protests and profanities under her breath as she took a step forward and went down on her knees just

“We are not asking for much, we just want a roof over_,”“Fine,” Keith interrupted before Mrs. Hockings could complete her plea for a roof over their head, turning his back to them. He exhaled, suddenly filled with exhaustion, he reached for Camila's hand and went on with what he had wanted to do before the interruption from the Hockings family. Camila moved easily into his awaiting arms and followed his lead as he approached the car.Camila sighed, glancing up at him, “Are you alright?” She questioned worriedly. Keith glanced down at her, his hold on her shoulder tightening. “Yes, I just need a few moments to gather back my thoughts.”Camila nodded quickly in understanding and raised her hand to wrap it around Keith's waist, “Of course, you've got all the time you need.”Keith chuckled but focused on getting Camila settled into the car before moving in beside her to sit in the passenger seat.Camila raised a brow at him, “You are not driving?”Keith nodded in response, “Not in the m

Mrs. Hockings sighed deeply, dropping her purse on the couch, and sucked in a deep breath as if to snuff the entire place out. “It sure is nice to be able to call this ours once again,” she said gratefully. Mr. Hockings glared at his wife, “Yes, with completely nothing and a ruined life,” he said as a matter of fact, “I do not seem to understand what you can be happy about with everything going on.”The smile on Mrs. Hockings was quickly wiped off and replaced with a frown, “I was expecting nothing more from you. I am starting to think you were very comfortable with the plan to live on the streets, weren't you? Unless why would you be so pigheaded to be grateful about having back a house to stay in.”Sheila sighed, exhaustion written all over her face, she stepped into her house along with two men and dumped her purse onto the table. “Could you both please, keep your voices down? My head is banging terribly and your voices are not doing anything to help.” Mr. Hockings growled, “If o

Sheila's important business was Frank, and she knew her father also knew that but made no attempt to stop her, not like anyone could stop her. Frank Kinney had chosen the wrong people to throw under the bus and she was going to do the honors of showing him just how big of a mess he has gotten himself involved with.For a brief second, she thought about going to take her gun and just blast his head off but that would be too easy for such betrayal. So, she would do what she did best, play with her prey until all resistance broke, and then he was squirming beneath her and pleading for mercy. The whiff of breeze that hit Sheila only made her more annoyed as the wind scattered her hair. Her eyes met with a man standing by the gate, carrying a small suitcase, he was her father's driver, she took in his suitcase and the direction he was heading. The bastard was going to ditch the family. She sucked in a deep breath and stomped to where he stood, intentionally ignoring the suitcase and keepi
