Keith leaned further into his seat and shut his eyes tightly. He was beyond exhausted and when his stomach rumbled, he added hunger to his long list of things he had to deal with. Amongst that list included the nagging headache and the boredom he was currently facing. He had gotten off a meeting with the grumpy old widow and it had completely drained him of all his energy and time. The widow was just extra, beginning from her strange dislike of him. Today she had even mentioned how much she believed that he wasn't good enough for Camila, then scowled in his direction anytime he would make an approach towards his girlfriend. He was beginning to think the widow had a creepy crush on his girlfriend, and if not that she was just a weird person. It could either be that or the latter, or maybe both.Keith heard the clinking of her shoes before he opened his eyes and he inhaled softly taking in her sweet lingering scent as she closed the distance between them. “You do know that I still find
Sheila was surprised to see three other intimidating looking men surrounding the table that Abraham was leading her to. Her fingers tightened around her purse in alarm as she confirmed to be sure that truly Abraham was heading for the table with the men that looked like they wanted to beat up any person that walked past. The panic only worsened as one of the men, the one designed with tattoos, looked up at Abraham and gave him a quick nod, immediately it was confirmed that was where they were headed. And when stone faced man eyes met with hers she resisted every urge to bolt and get far away from these men but she shoved the urge down and stood her ground. She should have known there was something suspicious about the stupid date Abraham had wanted to bring her along to. Only God knew what her purpose was here amongst the men, and sincerely she hoped it was just to sit still and look pretty because she wouldn't mind that at all.Ever since she had the conversation with Abraham in his
“I suggest you watch your mouth, after all in case you haven't noticed you are the stranger at this table, don't push your luck.”Sheila gaze met with the speaker, the scariest looking and the one who hadn't said a word since she arrived. A shudder ran down her spine as the man's cold gray eyes accessed her carefully and she caught a glimpse of annoyance flash through them. Jesus she hated this day already.The gray eyed man took his gaze off her and back to Abraham, “I think we deserve an answer Connor, what Is she doing here?”Sheila looked up at Abraham with a questioning gaze and squinted eyes. She looked at him expectantly as she took in the sight of his side view, she also wanted to know the reason why this dickhead had brought her here. Abraham looked from his three friends until his gaze rested on Sheila then he gave a smirk before looking behind her_ for the span of a minute Sheila froze up thinking he was looking behind her for another one of his company that he might have
“Because she is the key we need with our most recent plan,” Abraham blurted out suddenly.Sheila's head shot up at the sound of her name. Did she imagine things or had Abraham just called her a key? Although she knew she should not be feeling excited about what Abraham just said she could not help the tingling feeling that was brewing in her chest at the thought of her being a key to something that Abraham needed. It elevated her once sagged and defeated mood but elevated that did not mean she was completely happy now and the asshole, Abraham was off the hook, he had still embarrassed her before the douchebag he called a friend and that was completely unforgivable.“What do you mean by that?” Gray eyes man said with his brows drawn together into a frown as he seemed confused by the revelation.“The key? I had no idea we even had a padlock with a missing key,” the man with tattoos said with a frown, as he sat up and tapped his chin in consideration.Jerry snickered, then scoffed, “How
Jerry shrugged. “But I don't see the reason why you brought her here though.”“Because she is the ex-wife I was talking about,” Abraham snapped, giving Jerry an exasperated look.Sheila's face scrunched up the more as full realization began to dawn on her. Which would also happen to be the reason why Abraham was keeping her close and had not gotten rid of her, only because she was the apparent key to getting rid of the one person truly challenging him and his title. She huffed, picking up the glass of wine that had been placed on the table by the waiter earlier. The moment she drowned down it's content she instantly felt hungry for more.“Thompson had a wife?” The tattooed man said with a frown, leaning in closer to examine her. “She?” He said with a look she could not quite decipher but from the way she viewed it, it seemed like this man did not deem her worthy of being a wife to someone like Thompson.The gray eyed man chuckled and then reached for his glass too, “Well that is quite
Abraham said in a soft persuading voice but despite the point he raised, the men did not look too convinced with his plan.“I am not doubting your plan, Abraham,” the gray eyed man started, “But how trustworthy is she?”Abraham looked momentarily at her and as soon as she felt his gaze on her, her head shot up with urgency. Her eyes squirted at him in curiosity as she tried to read the emotion on his face. She waited patiently, almost not breathing as she waited for his answer. It was not only the men that were curious, she was too. In fact maybe she was even more curious than they were. She was desperate to know just how much Abraham trusted her_ that was even if he did trust her to begin with, well if he did he has been doing such a good job hiding the fact from her. A shudder went down Sheila's spine as the corner of Abraham's lips lifted into a coy smile, his eyes glittering with mischief.“She is completely under control, I can assure you that,” Abraham said with his eyes still f
Camila stood behind Keith's chair watching as he watched the video of her incident from a week ago over and over. If her count was still intact then this would be the seventh or eighth time Keith was watching the video of the car chase video that was sent to him early this morning. It was a call from his private investigator that got them out of bed and working so early but she really had no idea why Keith was watching and rewatching the video over and over again, like he was searching for something but then what else could he be looking for? The investigator had said clearly that they had gotten no clue from the video, that had been the reason they had even called this morning but now she had to watch Keith's act overly obsessed with the same video he probably won't be getting anything from.She exhaled sharply, tugging at the edge of her nightgown and pulling it closely together to keep herself warm as a gust of wind breezed past. “Keith, I think you should stop,” she said, placing
Keith shook his head, then spoke into her belly something that sounded like ‘’mmmhhhhmmpp’ causing her to laugh.Camila felt a lot better as Keith's body shook beneath her, showing her that he had laughed too. She could feel most of the tension leave the room and she visibly relaxed, feeling much better already.“If you want to say something then you should talk to me directly and not to my stomach, all I can make out is some humping,” she teased, enjoying the feel of his soft hair against her fingers.Keith doesn't move at first but when he does he pulls her closer so there was no form of gap between them. This dude knew nothing of personal space, but she was not complaining.He looked up at her with a small smile, that was almost not noticeable but was there, “What I was trying to say to your stomach was that it wasn't your fault and you have nothing to do with how I am currently feeling. It's just messed up and I keep wondering if any of this would have happened if I hadn't dragged
