“What's your name?” She asked.“Max,” he answered.“Max,” Sheila called. “Did you check the car?” She asked as he nodded.“Yes ma'am. The car isn't bugged. Where would you like to go ma'am? Max said, looking at Sheila through the rear window.“Abraham has eyes on me. For now, let's go shopping. I don't want to make a mistake in hesitation. We'll have to wait till he unground me,” Sheila said.“Copy that ma'am,” Max said with enthusiasm.“And, you have to act like you don't know me and that you don't like me. Abraham would want you to report me to him. So you have to act the part,” Sheila told him.“You don't have to worry ma'am. Boss has briefed me on everything,” Max said, smiling.“You smile too much. It's making me sick,” Sheila said, leaning her back on the seat as she closed her eyes, lost in her thoughts.“Sorry ma'am,” Max said but Sheila was too far lost in her thoughts to even listen.Sheila arrived at the shopping mall, going through some clothes when the attendant came to h

FLASHBACKS“I'm so sorry I haven't been able to call. Well, he became suspicious. He seized my phone and grounded me. No, you don't have to be worried. I am safe and I know how to take care of myself. I do not need saving,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at what the person from the other side said. “I am okay but I have something to tell you,” she said, sighing. “Well, he's going for the Anderson project. No, I won't tell Thompson anything. He wants to deal with Abraham himself, then let him do that. He's going to regret pushing me aside. I won't take it easy on him. No, I haven't told my parents anything yet. I plan to do that very soon. I wouldn't want them spoiling my plans just because they didn't know. My mom almost did that. I also want you to do something for me,” Sheila said as she continued to talk with the person on the phone. She paused, waiting for what he was going to say. She gave a sigh of relief when he asked her what she wanted to ask. “I need you to recommend a bodygu

After eating, Sheila helped her mother with the dishes. Her mother kept throwing glances her way.“Can you stop the boring holes at the side of my head? It's making me feel uncomfortable. Just say what you want to say,” Sheila said, not even boring to turn to look at her mother. Mrs Hockings just gulped, clearing her throat.“I just wanted to know if you're okay,” she said as Sheila hummed.“I'm good. I mean I've been better,” Sheila said as Mrs Hockings nodded. “Is that all?” Sheila asked.“What?” Mrs Hockings asked, swallowing hard.Is that all you wanted to say mother?” Sheila asked.“No, I still want to talk to you,” Mrs Hockings summoned the courage to talk to her daughter.“There you are. Come on. Let's have it,” Sheila said, looking at her mother briefly before going back to what she was doing.“Sheila, why don't you stop this pursuit of revenge?” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila paused but continued what she was doing. Mrs Hockings saw this as a good sign to continue. “I really do

“How long have you been standing there?” Keith asked, pausing what he was doing to give her his undivided attention. She simply just shrugged, sitting down opposite him.“Like 30 minutes,” she replied as he chuckled softly.“You've been standing there for 30 minutes and you didn't bother to come in or say hello. Was I that handsome that you were in a trance?” He asked teasingly as Camila rolled her eyes smiling at him.“You look tired and stressed. Are you sure you're going to be okay?” Camila asked, worriedly as Keith looked at her nodded.“I will be okay. I just need to finish some of these projects,” Keith said, looking at the documents on the table. Camila curiously took a peek at the documents.“I thought you were only working on the Anderson project?” She asked as he looked at her.“No,” he said, stressing his word. “I have other projects I'm working on. I wish to not waste any time. Immediately I secure the Anderson project, I'll go after these. Their location is good for busin

The party started and Sheila was already feeling bored. She didn't want to be here. She could use a little bit of shopping and going to her favorite restaurant but no, she had to spend it here. It was more of a business meeting than a party. She joined the women thinking it would have been better than standing idle, but the women were the worst. They talked about nothing important other than who's the richest man, how much gift he could afford to get for them and who is more hot and sexy between the men. She groaned inwardly as she felt disgusted. “Are all the women like this? Shameless and out of character,” she thought as she zoned them out, looking around the party. She noticed that the people who attended Abraham's party were not just ordinary people. They were people who screamed money, wealth and power. They were not people to be trifled with. Each of them were powerful in their various departments and could destroy the lives of anyone who they seemed fit. “How did Abraham come
