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
Max went outside as he sighed, bringing out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He took one out, putting the rest in his pocket as he lit it, placing the cigarette in his mouth and lit it up as he puffed, releasing the smoke out of his mouth. He was lost in his thoughts when someone cleared his throat, bringing him out of his thoughts. He turned to see Abraham's secretary, Adam standing there and giving him a disapproving glare. Max turned to the man and smiled.“Need something from me?” Max asked, throwing the remaining cigarettes on the ground and stomping on it with his boots.“Smoking isn't allowed here. I do not want to see you in the act next time,” Adam said as Max's smile turned to scoff. “And aren't you supposed to be watching Sheila Hockings right now?” Adam asked as Max gave a little chuckle. He was truly amazed. Everyone in this house was truly stocking up their ass.“I'm sorry, Mr Adam but I don't think you get to tell me what to do. I've been assigned to a task and tha
“How long have you been standing there?” Keith asked, pausing what he was doing to give her his undivided attention. She simply just shrugged, sitting down opposite him.“Like 30 minutes,” she replied as he chuckled softly.“You've been standing there for 30 minutes and you didn't bother to come in or say hello. Was I that handsome that you were in a trance?” He asked teasingly as Camila rolled her eyes smiling at him.“You look tired and stressed. Are you sure you're going to be okay?” Camila asked, worriedly as Keith looked at her nodded.“I will be okay. I just need to finish some of these projects,” Keith said, looking at the documents on the table. Camila curiously took a peek at the documents.“I thought you were only working on the Anderson project?” She asked as he looked at her.“No,” he said, stressing his word. “I have other projects I'm working on. I wish to not waste any time. Immediately I secure the Anderson project, I'll go after these. Their location is good for busin
Thanking him for being around her daughter. She showed so much attitude that Max didn't know how to dismiss the lady. They exchange numbers and she kindly asked Max to send a picture of her daughter at the ball. While she was lost in her thoughts, her phone pinged. She quickly rushed to check if it was Max and indeed it was him. She gasped, marvelled at what she saw. Her daughter was so beautiful. She couldn't believe she wasn't near her daughter to dress her up like the princess she was but she was a little grateful. Sheila looked stunning. She ran her fingers across her daughter's picture, looking at it with longing and then she was reminded about her time with young Sheila. It was truly remarkable. Sheila would always cling to her for everything but now her daughter couldn't even hug her. It was as if she was a pain in her daughter's life and she sighed detestfully.“What is making you sigh?” Mr Hockings said at her back, making her jump. She turned around happily going to meet hi
The party started and Sheila was already feeling bored. She didn't want to be here. She could use a little bit of shopping and going to her favorite restaurant but no, she had to spend it here. It was more of a business meeting than a party. She joined the women thinking it would have been better than standing idle, but the women were the worst. They talked about nothing important other than who's the richest man, how much gift he could afford to get for them and who is more hot and sexy between the men. She groaned inwardly as she felt disgusted. “Are all the women like this? Shameless and out of character,” she thought as she zoned them out, looking around the party. She noticed that the people who attended Abraham's party were not just ordinary people. They were people who screamed money, wealth and power. They were not people to be trifled with. Each of them were powerful in their various departments and could destroy the lives of anyone who they seemed fit. “How did Abraham come
