Sheila came home feeling Abraham's judging eyes watching her as she groaned.“Please, can you stop giving me those looks? I did not tarnish your name or your perfect image of that's what you want to know,” Sheila said, already so tired of the day.“So, why are you back so early?” Abraham asked.“Pfff, you call this early? You should be happy that I'm really learning how to keep my anger in check,” Sheila said with a small smile on her face while looking at Abraham.“What do you mean? Did something happen?” Abraham asked, quite curious.“Well, those women are disgusting gossip. They only know how to brag and show off. They don't say anything productive and they have a very unpleasant way of insulting someone. I was so close to punching each and everyone on their face. I was this close to ripping their hairs,” Sheila said, showing how angry and enraged she was.“You could have at least just stayed there,” Abraham pointed out as Sheila glared at him.“Oh please, Abraham. Spare me the bul
“So, you couldn't punch her which means she's way stronger than you!” Keith asked, just to mess with Camila.“That's not true. I was just going easy on her because of my baby,” Camila defended herself.“For the first time, Camila Joffrey is given an excuse. If I was the one, you would have easily thrown a punch my way,” Keith teased.“That’s not true and what do you mean by that?” Camila asked, huffing. “Keith Thompson, are you taking your ex side?” “Not in this life. I'll either hang myself than ever take her side against yours. You have nothing to be worried about. She's my past, while you're my present and future,” Keith assured Camila.“I'm not threatened about that. I have complete faith in you and I trust you completely,” Camila said, smiling at Keith who kissed her on her forehead, hands and lips.“So, tell me how the baby is doing?” Keith asked, placing his hand on Camila's stomach.“It's good. It has certainly been on its best behavior,” Camila said as they both laughed.“Do
“Good evening Mrs joffrey, Mr Thompson,” Keith and Camila turned only to see Abraham and Sheila who was latched at his side. Keith clench his fists at the sight of Abraham and Abraham noticed as he smiled in satisfaction. “I didn't expect to run into you two in this very place,” Abraham said, smiling.Sheila couldn't believe she actually had to meet these two here. Not at a time like this, not even when she was feeling down with the way they were both smiling as if everything was okay. If only they had agreed on her plan but nevertheless, she won't ask them again but wait till they come to her “I didn't expect to see you here either. You don't look like someone who can be in a place like this,” Camila said, before Keith could speak. Abraham just laughed, looking at the couple.“It looks like you both are trying to say that I'm not welcomed here,” Abraham responded.“How can we say that? We do not own this place, so feel free,” Keith said, forming a smile.“Sheila dear, are you okay?”
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and before you know it the end of the Year businessmen meeting was already drawing near. Everybody was preparing for the upcoming event. Camila was already starting to feel the pregnancy symptoms.“This is really bad, Mrs Genevieve especially the morning sickness,” Camila explained“There is much to be expected, child. But if it's too much, you can always put the burden on Keith. Let him suffer with you,” Mrs Genevieve said, throwing a wink at Camila who laughed.“Seriously, Mrs Genevieve. I can believe you would say that,” Camila laughed as Mrs Genevieve joined her.“What can I say?” Mrs Genevieve chuckled.“Why do you hate Keith? Has he done anything wrong to you?” Camila asked.“No dear. I just love to tease him especially when his ears get red from anger,” Mrs Genevieve laughed more.“So, you love the banter that goes on between you two?” Camila asked, looking at the old woman with amusement.“Well, what can an old beautiful lady like m
“Remember this, I do not do little. Whatever I plan is massive. Something I don't think you will understand.“Don't bullshit me, Abraham. I do not like to be fucked with. If you know you won't say anything to me, keep your mouth still but don't insult me,” Sheila snapped but when she saw the glare Abraham gave to her, she swallowed her spit and looked at the floor briefly. “So, what's this plan you have orchestrated?” She asked, clearing her throat. Abraham smiled mocking knowing he had made her powerless.“It's not something for your little ears to hear. Go do something worth your time and leave me the hell alone,” Abraham declared as Sheila scoffed.“I heard you partnered with a company that distributes maids. High earned servers or whatever they are called,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at the thought. “But what I don't understand is why you had to partner with them. You are way bigger than them and do not need them, so why take interest in them?” Sheila asked, curiously.“ I'm a
Keith rushed to the hospital and saw Mrs Genevieve waiting by the door. He rushed to her, holding her.“What happened, Mrs Genevieve? How did this happen?” He asked her.“Oh Keith! We were just talking and laughing and then she screamed and before I knew what was happening, she was bleeding,” Mrs Genevieve explained. When Keith heard bleeding, his ears rang. He couldn't seem to understand what anyone was saying all he could hear was she was bleeding. He had read somewhere that if a pregnant woman was bleeding, then it meant she had lost the baby and he didn't want that. “Keith, Keith, the doctor is here,” when Keith heard the doctor was here, he rushed the man“Doctor, how is she? Is she okay? Is the baby okay? Are they both safe?” Keith rushed as the doctor held him down.“Mr Thompson, calm down,” the doctor said.“I can't calm down. Don't you understand?” Keith shouted, his heart beating fast. “Please tell me she's okay and that our baby is fine too,” Keith said as a headache began
“You don't have to worry, sir. She's just sleeping. This would give you more time to process everything so that you will be able to help her when she's awake. One of you needs to be strong to handle the other,” the doctor said as Keith nodded. “I understand, doc,” “Good. Then, I'll take my leave now,” then the doctor left. Keith looked at the sleeping Camila and anger surged throughout his body like waves. He was really angry that he couldn't protect the woman he loved. Abraham was really biting more than he could chew. There and then, Keith made a vow that he was going to destroy Abraham Corner even if it was the last thing he would do. Keith sat down at the edge of the bed looking downcasted as he looked at the love of his life looking sad. He was at fault. He had wronged her. Because of his thirst for power and revenge, he had brought more harm than good to her life. He didn't think he would ever forgive himself for that. He took her hand holding it softly as he waited for her t
The day for the businessmen meeting arrived and every businessman was looking forward to it.“Are you done already?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith picked up his car keys.“Yes, I would like to go now,” Keith said, about to leave.“Wait up,” Camila said, coming down the stairs dressed in an exquisite dress. Mrs Genevieve and Keith looked at each other in confusion before turning to Camila.“Camila, what are you doing dressed up like this?” Keith asked.“I'm following you to the party. You did not think I'll let you go alone?” Camila asked, looking from Keith to Mrs Genevieve.“But, you're supposed to be resting. The doctor said you should rest,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith nodded in agreement.“I am well, Mrs Genevieve. I need to go so that Abraham Corner would not think he's got the best of me. I am strong and I can't portray myself weak,” Camila said, smiling like someone on a secret mission.“Are you sure?” Keith asked, growing wary.“As I'll ever be. So, don't be bothered about me.
