Sheila was going downstairs when she met Abraham's annoying assistant. He was just staring at her. Gosh, she hated this man.“What are you staring at? Could you get lost. Do not spoil my day with your presence,” she said, hitting his shoulder while passing. “Fool,” she muttered as the assistant just turned to watch her with a grin expression. She went downstairs to see Abraham already seated eating his food. She didn't even spare him a glance. She sat far away from him.“Still angry about last night, Sheila love?” Abraham asked, smiling sweetly which made Sheila's stomach twist. She hated it when he smiled like that.“This man is really a sick bastard,” she thought. “You should know last night wasn't my fault. It was all on you. You always get on my nerves. I've always told you that your stubbornness could get you killed but you wouldn't listen. Just be a good girl and make me happy by doing as I say and nothing would happen to you but you think doing your thing your way is better wh
“Tell Abraham that whatever…“How about you tell him yourself,” Sheila said, cutting Camila off.“What?” Camila asked, confused.“Whatever nonsense you would like to say, tell him yourself because I would walk up to Keith if I wanted to tell him something. I'm not your errand girl,” Sheila said.“Don't you ever go anywhere near Keith,” Camila growled.“You don't get to tell me what and what not to do and next time refrain from wasting my precious time,” Sheila said walking away, while Camila folded her fist. “Ha! Take that bitch,” Sheila said, walking around for what to shop. When she was done shopping, she went to the counter, checked in the things she bought and paid for them signaling the guard that came with her to carry them to the car with a smile on her face. “Please be careful with them. I wouldn't want any of them to get spoiled. While you're at it, why don't you excuse me. I'll just use the ladies room and be back in a few seconds,” she said, not waiting for them to say anyt
“Be careful. Abraham Corner is a very dangerous man. I don't want him hurting you,” Mr. Hockings said, feeling worried for his daughter and for some time now, Sheila felt happy. It has been a long time since her father showed that he cared. “I'll be careful daddy. This time would be different from last time,” Sheila said.“I hope so. We can't afford to flip,” Mr. Hockings said.“I know that daddy. That's why I'm working hard to keep my anger in check and working hard towards the set goals,” Sheila said.“That's good,” Mr. Hockings said, lost in his thoughts. “What did you say you need my help with? I hope you've not gotten yourself in trouble? Mr. Hockings glared hard at Sheila who rolled her eyes.“Calm down, dad. Nothing of that is going to happen anytime soon and about that, I'll tell you when that happens,” Camila calmed her dad down who already looked worried but hid it well. “Come, let's go down. I need to go,” Sheila and her father came downstairs to see the guard Abraham ass
It had been weeks since everywhere was quiet and everyone was doing their own stuff preparing for the end of the year business meeting and Keith and Camila wondered why everywhere was quiet at Sheila and Abraham's side.“Maybe they've decided to live a good life,” Camila said, as Keith gave her the look. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Really? Really Camila? You really think that?” Keith asked.“No, I don't. I just maybe want to believe that. I mean we really need some peace and quiet in our lives. I don't get why they won't let us be.“You don't have to worry. However they attack, we'll give it to them the same way. I'm not scared of anybody or anyone and I'll always protect you,” Keith promised as Camila nodded.“And I'll also protect you. I won't let them harm you,” Camila said as Keith laughed, making her frown. “Why are you laughing?’ she asked as her hands went akimbo.“Um… nothing in particular,” Keith said, seeing her serious face.“No, come on, tell me. It has to be s
“Dad, come on. This is not the time to leave anybody out. We need to move as one and she didn't blurt out our plan against Thompson,” Sheila reasoned.“I'll tell her. So, who's this your friend who will help us with our plan?” Mr. Hockings asked.“You don't need to bother. I'll tell you when the time is right but first, we have to put our plan to motion immediately and you have to start with telling mum. I need to go downstairs. I can't be here for too long. He might suspect something,” Sheila said, leaving her father grumbling. “Stop doing that and hurry up dad,” she said, going downstairs.“I really hope she knows what she's doing,” Mr. Hockings muttered to himself leaving his office.“Come on, Camila. Be fast. We need to get to the office early. Mrs Genevieve is waiting for us at the office, and I still don't know why she wants to see us,” Keith said, curiously as Camila came out of the dressing room.“Who knows? It might be because of the end of the year business meeting,” Camila
“Mrs Genevieve you're being too dramatic,” Keith said as Camila's eyes went wide. She gave “What?” Mrs Genevieve said, putting her hands at akimbo.“Yes, and you're being biased. I and Camila did this together. I don't see you scolding her.,” Keith said as Camila gasped.“Thanks for throwing me under the bus,” Camila said, rolling her eyes.“Oh please, you just enjoy it when I'm being scolded,” Keith said.“No, I do not. I just don't feel the need to fight Mrs Genevieve,” Camila said.“Because you like it when she scolds me,” Keith argued.“I do not,” Camila countered.“Are you shouting at Camila?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith paused.“Well…,” he cleared his throat. “I can never do that. We're just talking,” Keith said, making Camila chuckle. He glared hard at her as she shrugged.“It doesn't seem that way,” Mrs Genevieve said as a knock was heard on the door.“What?” Mrs Genevieve, Keith and Camila said in unison.Chris peeked inside to know if he was safe or if he should retreat.
Keith smiled, also liking the idea of Sheila begging. It would really be pleasing to the eyes.“What do you want Sheila?” He asked.“Abraham,” Sheila answered, making them laugh.“You want Abraham? Do I look like I'm holding him?” Keith asked.“I want you to help me bring Abraham down,” Sheila said, resting on her chair.“Help you bring Abraham down?” Keith asked. “And why do you think I'll help you?” “He's your enemy and I could use the help of another enemy to bring him down. Don't get me wrong, I can do that myself but it would be long and boring. If I can get help from you, then the process would be faster,” Sheila said, checking out her nails.“And I ask you again, why do you think I'll help you?” Keith asked, furrowing his eyes.“Because he's your enemy and you'll need help in defeating him,” Sheila said as Keith laughed. “What's funny?” Sheila asked, confused.“You people amaze me. After all you've done to me, you expect me to help you. Unbelievable. Just as your boyfriend cam
Sheila came out of the building as she hailed a cab. “Shit, I hope Thompson calls me. If he doesn't help me, my plans would not be complete. I need to make sure he agrees with my plan and for that I have to wait for the right time. I just hope it doesn't take too long,” Sheila thought, telling the cab driver to stop a few blocks away from her parents house. She pays him, coming down and wearing a face cap, then she follows from the back and sneaks into the house so the security guard doesn't see her and finds out that she sneaked out. She enters the house and sees her parents still talking to the recorder she recorded with her voice to deceive Abraham. When her parents saw her, she signaled them to meet her in the kitchen.“How did it go? Did the person you went to meet agree to help you?” Mrs Hockings asked as Sheila turned to her father.“So, you finally told her?” She asked as he grumbled.“So, did it work?” Her father asked, changing the topic as Sheila sighed.“No, he didn't but
