“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
“Of course, you'll take her side,” Keith said as Camila glared at him and Mrs Genevieve hit him on the back of his head. “Ouch! What was that for?” Keith asked, massaging the back of his head where it hurts.“That's for talking rudely at Camila. You should respect her and not stress her in her condition,” Mrs Genevieve said, moving towards Camila. “Are you hungry dear? Let's get you something to eat.”“Thank you Mrs Genevieve. Unlike some other people who don't care,” Camila said as she stood up and left Keith.“What conniving women,” Keith said, going after them.Sheila went home rethinking her plans. Her mind went to Thompson. She hoped he would put her plan into consideration. If he was expecting her to beg, that would be the last thing she would do. She was Sheila Thompson after all. She was going upstairs when Abraham called her. She turned and saw him coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.“I hope you enjoyed your parents' place?” He asked her. Sheila thought for a seco
“You're so bitter and that's why your mouth is foul,” Sheila retorted.“Well, deal with it,” Abraham retorted as his phone rang. He checked the caller before turning his face to Sheila. “Next tomorrow, the wives and girlfriends of rich businessmen will be gathered. You'll go there and represent me. You better be on your best behavior,” Abraham said.“When I've I ever not been on my best behavior?” Sheila asked, smiling as Abraham clenched his jaws, narrowing his eyes at her.“I don't know what's going on in that little brain of yours but if you think you will embarrass me and tarnish my image, then don't come back and just stay there because the moment you step out of the building, you will be no more,” Abraham threatened scaring the shit out of Sheila.“You really don't need to threaten me. I'm not that stupid to embarrass myself and tarnish my own name,” Sheila said.“You're that stupid to do so and forget to go shopping and do the stuff you're made of. You can't dress less,” Abraha
