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
Keith sighed, walking over to the bed as he sat close to Camila. She took hold of his hands as she rubbed his hands with hers.“Look at you. You couldn't take care of yourself. What would you do without me?” Camila asked as Keith burst into tears.“I'm so sorry, Camila. I failed. I failed you and I failed our child. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you guys. It's all my fault,” Keith cried, resting his head on Camila's chest. “Please forgive me,” he said. Camila was at the verge of crying. Seeing Keith cry so hard made her heartbroken but she held back, sniffling. She needs to get her act together just like Mrs Genevieve said, she needs to be strong for Keith.“It wasn't your fault Keith,” she told him, patting him at the back. Keith raised his head to look at Camila.“I know it's my fault. You don't have to make me feel good. I know it's my fault. You deserve someone else. You don't deserve someone like me who can't protect you,” Keith said as Camila frowned.“I know I'm too good for you
“Keith!” Camila whined.“Please. For my sake,” he pleaded as she sighed. “Okay but I'll have to take my time,” she informed him.“No problem ma'am. You can take all the time that you want,” Keith said as she chuckled while hanging up. “This should be better. A change of scenery should do the trick,” he told himself, dialing a number. “Meet me at Tish. Do not waste my time and be fast.Sheila held the phone next to her ears as she smiled from ear to ear. Her plans were finally coming into place.“I'll be there,” she said, ending the call. She turned back, picked up her purse and headed for the door.“Where are you going?” Abraham asked her.“Going out for lunch,” she said as he looked at her warily.“Well, there's no need for you to go out for lunch when you can have lunch here and have you forgotten we have company?” He asked her as Sheila rolled her eyes.“Come on Abraham. You know how bored I would be and I know that you and your friends do not want me here. These are your cult mem
Mr Hockings wasn't happy with what his daughter said. That wasn't what he was expecting to hear from her.“At least, she's working towards the plan. We should be happy?” Mrs Hockings said, trying to lessen the tension that was about to form.“There's nothing to be happy about. We need to be fast as soon as possible,” Mr Hockings grumbled, standing up and going to his room.“It seems you've begun to learn how to handle him. Dad can be a pain if he chooses to,” Sheila said, smiling at her mother.“Well, nothing a little practice can't handle,” Mrs Hockings as they both laughed. “I cooked. Would you like to eat some?” Mrs Hockings asked with the hope that her daughter would eat.“I'm sorry mother. I can't. Maybe next time,” Sheila said, carrying her bag.“Oh! It's fine. Next time is okay,” Mrs Hockings said, feeling sad as Sheila paused.“On the bright side, I have never tasted your cooking mum. How about you put something for me. I would be delighted to eat the food prepared by my mothe
Next morning, Keith woke up to an empty bed. There was no sign of Camila. The space she slept in was cold which meant that she had left a very long time ago. He couldn't believe he slept off and that too for a very long time. He checked the time and it was already afternoon. Exhaustion could really do that to you. He was really exhausted. While he was still in his thoughts, his phone rang. He checked the caller and was shocked at who called him.Camila arrived at Abraham Corner's house. She forcefully entered inside even when the security guard asked her not to. She barged in.“I'm sorry sir. I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen,” he said.“It's okay. I can handle this,” Abraham said looking at an angry Camila. He just smiled.“ Mrs Joffrey, what a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting you. In Fact, I don't think I was ever going to expect you in my house,” Abraham smiled much to Camila's annoyance. Sheila watched everything at the foot of the staircase. She was really disappo
