“You're going for Anderson's project?” She asked as he sighed.“What happened to not saying a word?” He asked as she shrugged.“Just got curious,” Sheila said as Abraham rolled his eyes.“Haven't you heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat?” Abraham asked as Sheila smiled.“Well, this cat can't die easily and you know why?” She asked, bringing her head closer for a whisper. “Because this cat is smart and not a pushover,” she said smiling, before leaning on the chair. “So, tell me, why the Anderson project? Thompson is going for the project. Did you choose it because of Thompson?” Sheila asked as Abraham smirked.“What do you think?” Abraham asked.“Well, I think you want to spite Thompson and scare him. You want him to be shaken up and make a mistake,” Sheila said as Abraham shrugged.“You can think all you want,” he said, smiling. Abraham didn't give Sheila a direct answer but she knew the man. He could be petty at times. She just looked at him with disgust before putting a smi
“Can you tell me why all these companies are competing for the Anderson project?” She asked as her husband turned to look at the television. He folded his newspaper, keeping it on his lap.“Anderson was a rich and wealthy man before he died. He didn't have anyone to take over his property so some were given to charity but his estate and lands are being sold to the highest bidder. Whoever wins the contract will be a lot richer. That's why every businessman is vying for his properties,” Mr Hockings answered, going back to his reading but Mrs Hockings wasn't done asking her question. Mr Hockings sighed, rolling his eyes. “Ask!” He said, folding his newspaper.“Sorry,” Mrs Hockings smiled sheepishly before asking her question. “Isn't Abraham Corner very rich and wealthy? I don't think he needs the Anderson project. He was way richer than Anderson from what I gathered. Why does he want it?” Mrs Hockings asked. “Simple. Thompson wants it,” Mr Hockings said simply as Mrs Hockings made an O
“What do you think about all that is going on?” Mr Kevin asked Mrs Genevieve during a game of chess.“What do you mean? If you're talking about this game, forget it. I'm going to destroy you,” Mrs Genevieve said as Mr Kevin rolled his eyes smiling.“I know you've been planning on that but I'm talking about Keith and Abraham Corner,” he said as Mrs Genevieve threw him a glare. “What?” He asked, with a smiling face.“Did you really have to call that name here when I'm in a good mood? Are you trying to make me angry?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Well, I was curious and I also called Keith,” Mr Kevin said as she rolled her eyes.“Whatever. What do you want to know?” Mrs Genevieve asked, folding her arms.“Who do you think is going to win the battle for Anderson's project?” Mr Kevin asked.“Abraham is really a good and dangerous opponent but I'm sure Keith will win,” Mrs Genevieve said with all seriousness. “What do you think?” She asked Mr Kevin.“I really do not think Keith would stand a chanc
“What's your name?” She asked.“Max,” he answered.“Max,” Sheila called. “Did you check the car?” She asked as he nodded.“Yes ma'am. The car isn't bugged. Where would you like to go ma'am? Max said, looking at Sheila through the rear window.“Abraham has eyes on me. For now, let's go shopping. I don't want to make a mistake in hesitation. We'll have to wait till he unground me,” Sheila said.“Copy that ma'am,” Max said with enthusiasm.“And, you have to act like you don't know me and that you don't like me. Abraham would want you to report me to him. So you have to act the part,” Sheila told him.“You don't have to worry ma'am. Boss has briefed me on everything,” Max said, smiling.“You smile too much. It's making me sick,” Sheila said, leaning her back on the seat as she closed her eyes, lost in her thoughts.“Sorry ma'am,” Max said but Sheila was too far lost in her thoughts to even listen.Sheila arrived at the shopping mall, going through some clothes when the attendant came to h
Look who we found here. If it isn't the two disrespectful women,” Sheila and Camila turned to see those three disgusting women from the auction as they both scoffed together.“You've got to be kidding me,” they both said in unison as they turned to each other, glaring at each other before turning to those women.“You want another round of beating?” Sheila asked, glaring at the three women.“Oh my! So disrespectful,” the short one said.“Oh, you three were even beaten and I was close to doing the same thing,” Camila said, folding her arms.“Such disrespectful young women. I suppose you two weren't taught how to be respectful,” the tall one said.“Scram!” Sheila snapped, making the three women jump.“No wonder you three don't have husbands. Three disgusting women,” Camila said with a smirk as they gasped.“I'm having a headache just staring at this foolish women,” Sheila said, walking out as Camila looked at the women, not smiling anymore.The women began to shiver under her gaze“Get lo
FLASHBACKS“I'm so sorry I haven't been able to call. Well, he became suspicious. He seized my phone and grounded me. No, you don't have to be worried. I am safe and I know how to take care of myself. I do not need saving,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at what the person from the other side said. “I am okay but I have something to tell you,” she said, sighing. “Well, he's going for the Anderson project. No, I won't tell Thompson anything. He wants to deal with Abraham himself, then let him do that. He's going to regret pushing me aside. I won't take it easy on him. No, I haven't told my parents anything yet. I plan to do that very soon. I wouldn't want them spoiling my plans just because they didn't know. My mom almost did that. I also want you to do something for me,” Sheila said as she continued to talk with the person on the phone. She paused, waiting for what he was going to say. She gave a sigh of relief when he asked her what she wanted to ask. “I need you to recommend a bodygu
“Sheila, can you tell us who the person who helped you is and your supposed partner?” Mr Hockings asked as Sheila looked at her mother and Max before sighing. She stood up for not knowing how she would break the news to her dad.“I guess it's now or never,” Sheila said, standing in front of her parents. “Dad, mum, I can't tell you two who the person helping me is because it is supposed to be confidential. He doesn't want to be revealed but I can tell you guys who my partner is,” Sheila said.“Okay. Go on. Tell us who this partner of yours is,” Mr Hockings said.“You all know him very well,” Sheila paused for a second. Her dad was about to respond when she threw the bomb. “It's Keith Thompson,” she announced as the world went still.“What?” Her father shouted. Mrs Hockings panicked. She knew her husband was going to lose it.“Hear me out dad,” Sheila said, raising her two hands up to stop her father from getting up. She knew it was going to be war if he stood up. Max just stood there w
After eating, Sheila helped her mother with the dishes. Her mother kept throwing glances her way.“Can you stop the boring holes at the side of my head? It's making me feel uncomfortable. Just say what you want to say,” Sheila said, not even boring to turn to look at her mother. Mrs Hockings just gulped, clearing her throat.“I just wanted to know if you're okay,” she said as Sheila hummed.“I'm good. I mean I've been better,” Sheila said as Mrs Hockings nodded. “Is that all?” Sheila asked.“What?” Mrs Hockings asked, swallowing hard.Is that all you wanted to say mother?” Sheila asked.“No, I still want to talk to you,” Mrs Hockings summoned the courage to talk to her daughter.“There you are. Come on. Let's have it,” Sheila said, looking at her mother briefly before going back to what she was doing.“Sheila, why don't you stop this pursuit of revenge?” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila paused but continued what she was doing. Mrs Hockings saw this as a good sign to continue. “I really do
