“For someone who has nothing, you sure are proud,” Abraham said.“And for someone who thinks he has all the power in the world, you sure are stupid,” Mr Hockings said as Abraham ticked.“Hey, you will show me some respect in my house. I won't allow you to come inside here and insult me,” Abraham shouted.“Who's fault is it? We never asked you to invite us here. I personally wouldn't want to come to this stupid house,” Mr Hockings said.“If I were you, I would know my place. I feed you with my money and I can as well destroy you with it,” Abraham said.“That's enough. Let's stop talking and eat before the food gets cold,” Sheila said as Abraham growled.“Shut up. I do not want to hear your voice till you leave this table,” Abraham ordered her which got Mr Hockings more angry. Sheila folded her fists.“I'll really take pleasure in killing this man,” Sheila thought. Mrs Hockings just looked at Sheila and then Abraham before looking down on her plate. She seemed to be lost in her own thou
Keith was working on a file when a knock came in. It was the police.“Good day Mr Thompson,” he greeted as Keith stood up from his seat, giving him a handshake.“It's a pleasure having you here, officer. What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” Keith asked.“Lily Donovan has refused to say anything. She has been quiet. She insists on a lawyer,” the officer said as Camila and Smart came in.“Good day officer,” Camila greeted as the officer nodded. Smart just went ahead and sat down.“If she wants a lawyer, then get her a lawyer,” Keith said.“That's what we tried to do but she insisted that we shouldn't bother,” the officer said as Keith and Camila looked at each other before looking at the officer.“I guess she has a lawyer who would bail her out. If that's the case, we'll see her in court,” Camila said.“You didn't have to come over here. You could have given me a call but nevertheless, thank you,” Keith said, shaking the officer as the man left.“I'm really happy. By the time she'
“I tracked down the phone Lily was receiving calls for and guess what?” Smart asked as Keith and Camila looked at each other.“It landed at Abraham Corner's hand,” Camila said happily.“Sadly no. It's in the hands of a madman,” Smart said, shocking them both.“What?” Keith and Camila shouted at the same time.“Yes and the name that was registered on the phone belongs to a dead man. So, there's no way of proving that Abraham Corner was responsible for anything,” Smart said as Keith gave a wry chuckle.“I can see what Abraham did there. Nice plan,” Keith said.“So, the only way for us to expose Abraham is if Lily confesses,” Camila said as Smart nodded.“Yes, and even if she does, there won't be any evidence to back it up and we'll still lose the case,” Smart said.“Abraham really planned this all out. Sheila was right. It wasn't over yet,” Keith said, pondering on what he would do.“Maybe, if Lily rots in prison, she would be forced to talk,” Camila said.“Well, it's there for the taki
Sheila entered her room as she stood behind the door with a sigh. She wouldn't lie and say she wasn't scared. She knew Abraham was capable of so many things. She also knew that she had crossed her boundaries today and might die. She quickly locked the door, then bolted it because she knew he had a spare key. She quickly removed her clothes, went into the bathroom and showered. When she was done, she turned off the faucet, doing her normal routine before climbing her bed, waiting for the inevitable.“Execute the next plan. Make sure everything goes according to plan,” Abraham said on the phone as he disconnected the call, tossing his phone on the table. He stood up, grabbing his glass of whiskey, going close to the window. He had a murderous glint, while looking at the moon. “No one, absolutely no one goes against me. I'll tear them apart,” he muttered to himself, laughing. It was the type of laugh that sends shivers down someone's spine. Not a good shiver but a scary one. His phone ra
“Are you ready for work?” Camila asked, handing Keith's tie over to him. “Thank you. I was really looking for this,” he said, trying to knot it. “Need help?” Camila asked as Keith nodded. She stood up from the bed, standing in front of him, helping him knot his tie. “Sheila texted. Said she almost lost her life,” Keith informed as Camila furrowed her brows. “What do you mean she almost lost her life?” Camila asked, fixing Keith's tie. “She said Abraham almost killed her. He wasn't just threatening her, he actually meant to kill her. Banging at her door after trying to open it and finding out that she bolted it. It was really a scary experience for her,” Keith said as Camila felt less concerned. “Well, that's how she made her bed, so she'll have to lie on it. If she dies, I won't even be shocked or surprised. I won't even be bothered. I'll take it as one of the biggest problems in our lives that has been eliminated. She was the beginning of your problems after all,” Camila s
Keith arrived at the office with his workers greeting him. He responded with a nod, proceeding to his office. He met Chris on the way.“Good morning Chris,” he greeted as Chris smiled.“Good morning sir. Hope you had a good time. I mean I know you'll surely have a good night,” Chris said, laughing nervously as Keith shook his head.“Back to work Chris,” Keith said, leaving for his office.“Oh, yes sir. Before I forget, a man came looking for you. He said he wouldn't leave until he has seen you,” Chris said as Keith looked confused.“Who is this man and what did he say his name was?” Keith asked as Chris shook his head.“He didn't say. He said he would only speak with you and no one else,” Chris said as Keith nodded.“So, where is he now? Is he in my office?” Keith asked.“No sir. I kept him in the waiting room. We didn't want to leave him alone in your office in case he is a spy,” Chris said as Keith was impressed.“Good thinking Chris. Send him to my office. I'll see him now,” Keith
Keith was pacing around when the door opened with Camila rushing in.“I heard you call and came as fast as I could,” Camila said, panting as Keith nodded.“What's going on? You sounded urgent and serious on the phone,” Mrs Genevieve said, coming in.“Because it's really urgent and serious,” Keith responded.“Who did you say came to see you?” Camila asked.“Ian Sinclair,” Keith answered as Camila and Mrs Genevieve looked at each other before looking at him. “Whatever you're guessing is right. He's a lawyer and he works for the government,” Keith told them.“We know that but what we don't know is why he came to see you,” Camila said.“Yes. Camila is right. I hope the government doesn't want you to work with them. I wouldn't agree. Those cunning people,” Mrs Genevieve said begrudgingly.“That would even be better. What they want this time is worse,” Keith said as both women were on alert.“What do they want?” They said in unison.“They want the land I took from the Hockings. The governme
“Did you get my present? I hope you liked it,” he said as Sheila came closer to him.“How could you do such a thing to my parents? How dare you?” She asked through gritted teeth.“Ah ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you. I have people who would do anything at my command. You wouldn't want me to order your parents to be killed here. If you act recklessly, this might be the last time you ever see your parents,” Abraham said with a cheerful smile.“You're really delusional and mad,” Sheila said as he smiled more.“I couldn't agree more,” Abraham said, not feeling bothered. Sheila clenched her fists almost drawing blood. She was still looking at Abraham when they both heard footsteps. They both turned to see Camila running towards them. Abraham furrowed his eyes, looking at Sheila while folding his arms. Sheila frowned, stopping Camila from moving forward.“Where is Agnes?” Camila asked, worriedly as Sheila scoffed.“Agnes?” Sheila asked. “Girl, what the fuck are you doing here? You bette
