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.
“Mrs Joffrey, please contain your dog. We wouldn't want him lashing out,” Sheila said with a smirk.“Oh please, shut up Sheila. You're the one who is supposed to be contained,” Camila lashed back as Sheila just wore a smirk on her face.“You better let go of me, Mr Thompson. I wouldn't want to file a case of assault and you surely know how bad it will be if I decide to finally take action,” Abraham said.“What is it you've done that you haven't done already?” Keith asked.“Oh, many things. So, I hope you don't make me do things we would both regret,” Abraham said, turning his gaze at Camila. “Tell him to let go sis,” Abraham said as a shiver went down Camila's back.“Let go, Keith. We do not want to cause a scene,” Camila whispered to Keith as he took a minute to think before releasing Abraham.“Good boy. You do listen,” Abraham said, dusting his suit as Sheila held him, smiling at the couple.“Attention everyone. We would be announcing the winner of this year's businessmen award,” th
Sheila stormed inside disgusted and a little bit scared about today's event. She was in a hurry to go to her room and stay there. She didn't want to stay near Abraham for even a second. “Why are you in a hurry to get away from me? It's not like I'm a plague or something,” Abraham asked as Sheila laughed. It was a bitter laugh.“Funny how you say it. I'm really sick of all this. Really Abraham, a shoot out and I'm sure your target was Thompson's bitch. Wasn't that too much? Are you trying to scare them or make them run mad?” Sheila asked as Abraham looked at her skeptically. “What?” She asked, eyeing him cautiously.“You've grown quite soft when it comes to Keith Thompson. I thought you used to hate him. I remembered you didn't want him to be somebody and own anything in life,” Abraham asked.“Shit! I need to mind my words when I'm around him or he would be suspicious,” Sheila thought as she scoffed. “I'm not taking his side. I'm just angry that you don't discuss the plan with me anym
Keith came back from the station in a very bad mood. He entered the sitting room, angrily removing his suit jacket as Mrs Genevieve and Camila followed his movement with their eyes. They both looked at each other before turning their gaze to Keith.“Is something wrong? How did it go at the station?” Camila asked, worriedly.“That sly woman said she'll see me in court,” Keith said angrily.“In court? Of course we were going to charge her to court but did she say anything to you other than that?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Nothing at all. She looked so confident that she would win the case,” Keith said, making Camila more confused.“Okay, I still don't get anything you're saying. Can you please explain from the beginning how it all happened,” Camila said.“Sure,” Keith said, explaining.FLASHBACKKeith entered the police station, escorted by two of his personal guards. He requested an audience to see the maid who killed his baby and he was granted. He was led to an empty room which was meant
