“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
“I hope everything is going well as planned?” Abraham asked on the phone.“Yes sir. She won't say anything. She would definitely seal her mouth,” the voice at the other side of the line said as Abraham smirked.“Of course she won't say anything. She has to be silenced,” Abraham said, looking up to see Sheila standing at the door. His countenance changed. He became pissed. He angrily cut the call, throwing his phone on the table.“Before you say anything that is going to make me furious, I just want to tell you that I don't give a fuck about what you do anymore. Do your thing while I do mine and please keep your dogs away from me. I did not tell you I need a bodyguard,” Sheila stated, folding her arms.“Is that so?” Abraham raised his brows at her. He sat up straight giving her a pointed look. “Listen, you don't tell me what to do or tell me…,” Sheila cut him off, not interested in hearing what he wanted to say which made him angry.“The owner of that stupid maid agency you partnered w
“Is that so? Mind explaining yourself,” Abraham sat down comfortably so that he could listen to what Sheila had to say.“I mean, look at Mr Obadi now. You promised to do a little favor for him. I'm not even sure you promised him anything. You might have said you'll try and then that being said has won his heart. I won't be surprised if he promised to repay you or he indebted himself to you. I can believe how weak-minded he is,” Sheila said“So, you were eavesdropping?” Abraham asked plainly as Sheila paused, turning to him.“I didn't actually eavesdrop. I was passing by,” Sheila said, not looking at him as Abraham hummed.“I see,” Abraham said, pouring himself a drink.“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to help him or use him and discard him?” Sheila asked, popping a fruit into her mouth.“That's none of your business. Since you've decided to mind your business, continue to do that. Don't go poking your nose. I'll call you when I need you and I'll tell you what I need you
“And besides, Thompson deserves everything that's happening to him. You don't know how happy I am that he is passing through hell. I need to see him to be content. He deserves it for what he did to us. I may hate Abraham but he's helping me do what I couldn't do. God bless him,” Mr Hockings added, going back to what he was reading. Mrs Hockings was shocked at what her husband was saying. She knew her husband could be cruel but not to a child. That child hadn't even set foot into this world and yet it was killed before he or she was able to. She was about to say something when her husband cut her short. “How come I'm hearing this from you and not Sheila? When did you two become close?” Mr Hockings asked with a frown on his face.“Wasn't it part of the plan since Abraham was on her trail?” Mrs Hockings asked as he nodded.“Tell her to come here. I need to know how this amazing plan of hers is going. I can't afford for her to mess things up like last time,” he said as Mrs Hockings scoffe
