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
“At least I'm better than you who joined hands with your deranged ex to defeat him,” Camila said.“Well, that was the best thing to do,” Keith said.“Hold on, what's going on? Who joined hands with who?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Why don't you ask him, Mrs Genevieve?” Camila said, staring at Keith along with Mrs Genevieve.“Did you accept Sheila Hockings offer?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Yes, I did. I did some research and found out that Abraham Corner is higher than I am in the game. There was no way I was going to defeat him. Why not take on a cunning partner. After all the friends of my enemy are my friends,” Keith said.“But Sheila Hockings is not your friend,” Mrs Genevieve said.“You think I don't know that? I do not trust Sheila Hockings one bit but if that can be the only way to defeat Abraham, then I'm willing to take it,” Keith said, before turning to Camila. “You were really selfish and I hope you're happy with what you've done,” then he walked out.“Mrs Genevieve!” Camila called a
“He agreed. Keith Thompson agreed to partner with me to defeat him,” Sheila said, standing near the window. She was looking outside the window while talking to someone on the phone. “I'm ready. With your help and support, we could bring him down. I'm confident that everything will fall into place. I don't think you know me. When I set my mind on something, I make sure I do it even if it would cost me everything,” Sheila said, talking as she backed the window folding her arms. “Thompson? What about him?” Sheila asked. “I've planned something for him. You didn't think I'd leave him after what he did to my family? I'm simply killing two birds with one stone,” Sheila said, smirking evilly.Keith arrived at the office as his employees stood up to greet him. He nodded at each and everyone one of them, giving them a small smile. He strode to his office with Chris following him.“Did you call your uncle over telling him that I want to see him in my office immediately?” Keith asked, removing h
Camila went shopping with her guards tailing her. They were not too close, neither were they too far. With all the recent happenings, one needs to be careful especially when your enemies are lurking around. She was so lost in her thoughts that she bumped into a woman. The woman was wearing a hoodie and big frame glasses, so she couldn't see her face.“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. I didn't see you there,” Camila said, helping the woman to pick some stuff that dropped.“It's okay. I'm fine,” the woman said, scurrying away as fast as possible. Camila thought the woman looked familiar but she left it alone not wanting to indulge in one of her silly thoughts and stress herself again. She continued with her shopping. She wondered how Keith would react if he found out she went out. He would lose his mind. She smiled thinking about Keith then she became sad all of a sudden when her mind wandered back to her dead child. She sighed, trying to console herself.“I'll prepare somethi
“I am here to sympathize with you as a woman who understands her fellow woman,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila scoffed.“Understand? I don't think you'll ever understand a woman's pain seeing as you cause one,” Camila said with spite but Mrs Hockings just overlooked it.“I had lost two children in the past,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila became speechless. She looked at the older woman, not knowing what to say.“Oh! I didn't know,” she said as Mrs Hockings chuckled.“Of course, you wouldn't,” Mrs Hockings said as she breathed out. “I lost my first child before Sheila was born. I miscarried and after Sheila was born, I took in but lost it. She doesn't know. We didn't want her to know and ever since, I've not been able to give birth again,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila felt sad for her.“I'm sorry, Mrs Hockings,” Camila said.“Please call me Agnes. It's been a long time since someone called me by my name,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila nodded, giving her a small smile. “We only had Sheila, so I
“How's Mrs Genevieve?” Camila asked, crossing her legs as Keith chuckled. “What's with the chuckle? I feel like something happened,” Camila said with a smile.“She's good. She went on a date,” Keith answered as Camila looked surprised before bursting into laughter. Keith joined her.“She still goes on dates at her age?” Camila asked, wide-eyed.“And the worst of all is she goes out with younger guys,” Keith said as Camila shook her head.“Isn't she old for all this?” Camila asked, laughing.“I said the same thing and she said life is too short and that she has to enjoy it before it is too late,” Keith said as Camila shook her head.“She'll never change. She and her chavalos ways,” Camila said, shaking her head in amazement.“Did you know she had two sons?” Keith asked, looking at Camila for a reaction.“Two sons? I didn't even know she had a son at all. Did you see any of them?” Camila asked.“I saw one of them. He's a tech guy. He'll be helping us on our revenge on Abraham Corner but
“I heard you asked for me,” Sheila said, standing in front of Abraham. “Today I decided to mind my business and stay out of your way, you couldn't resist the temptation,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes. Abraham stood up, certainly not in the mood for her jokes. Sheila noticed it and became puzzled. “Is everything the matter?” She asked curiously.“What's the relationship between your mother and Camila Joffrey?” Abraham asked as Sheila looked confused for a moment.“I don't think there's such a relationship,” Sheila answered. Abraham chuckled, not liking the answer Sheila gave him. Sheila began to feel scared. She knew whenever Abraham gets like this, it wouldn't be a good end product for her. “What has her mother done now?” She asked herself on alert.“That's not the answer I was hoping for but I'll ask again,” Abraham said, smiling at Sheila. It sent a shiver down her spine. The smile was so menacing. “What relationship does your mom have with Camila Joffrey?” Abraham asked again as S
