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
An hour had passed and yet, her parents weren't awake yet. She sat down feeling tired already. Keith checked his watch. He had a frown on his face. He seriously didn't want to be here, but Camila had to care for his ex mother in law. He looked at her and saw how comfortable she was sitting patiently.“You two can go. You don't have to be here. Actually, seeing the two of you here is making my day go bad and it's taking a toil on me,” Sheila said but Keith and Camila ignored her, doing what they were doing. “So disrespectful,” she muttered with a scoff as Max stood next to her.“The police found the CCTV of the house. We're going to find the people that did this and make sure they are punished,” Max said as Sheila sighed. All this was making her sick. She could feel a headache forming. She looked around, finding out that Abraham wasn't around. She stood up, signaling Keith and Camila to follow her. Camila looked at Keith who shrugged as they both followed her.“I'm sure you're happy th
“Abraham is behind this,” Sheila dropped as Keith and Camila turned to look at her. “I'm not sure but I think so,” she added.“What makes you think so?” Keith asked.“Some weeks ago, we went to the country club and he spoke to Asher Garfield,” Sheila said “Who is that?” Keith asked as Camila looked at her, waiting for an answer.“Oh my God! I can't believe you two right now. How can you not know Asher Garfield? I can't believe you two don't know him. He's the president's right hand man and I think he's close to Abraham,” Sheila said.“Is there anyone Abraham doesn't know?” Camila asked as Sheila noticed someone's shadow near the door.“We need to… shut up! I really do not want to hear anything from the both of you,” Sheila shouted, cutting Keith up. Camila and Keith wondered why the sudden change of attitude. Sheila signaled at the door. “I have had it enough with you two. The only reason I'm not embarrassing you right now is because this is a hospital. Don't take my silence for gran
“I hope they've caught the person who did this. How can such a person think of doing something so wicked like this?” Mr Hockings asked?“We couldn't find the person who did this to you. The CCTV camera was broken,” Sheila said as Mr Hockings scoffed.“So outrageous,” Mr Hockings said as Sheila was lost in her thoughts. Mrs Hockings noticed it.“You seem lost Sheila dear. Do you perhaps know who did this to us?” Mrs Hockings asked as Mr Hockings looked at his daughter.“What are you hiding from us? Do you know the person who tried to kill us?” Mr Hockings asked and at the same time, Abraham entered inside.“I hope everyone is okay?” He asked as Mr Hockings scoffed angrily.“Don't act like you care. For all I know, you may just be disappointed that we made it out wealive,” he said as Abraham smiled.“If I wanted you dead, you would have already been dead,” Abraham said smiling as Mrs Hockings gasped.“Abraham!” Sheila called but he shrugged.“I really do not know what you're doing here,
“How was your trip to the hospital?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith and Camila shrugged.“We found out that Abraham was responsible for what happened to Sheila's parents. It was a warning not to go against him,” Keith said as Mrs Genevieve scoffed.“I'm not surprised. That monster could do anything,” Mrs Genevieve said.“I wonder how Sheila lives with him comfortably without getting scared for her life,” Smart said out loud.“Oh trust me, you wouldn't want to know. She's Sheila Hockings. She's not scared of anything or anybody. Haven't you heard about that?” Camila asked, looking at Smart.Sheila was in a very funny discussion with her parents when her phone pinged. It was a message from Keith. She read it with a frown on her face.“What is it? Who messaged you dear?” Mrs Hockings asked.“It's from Thompson,” Sheila replied, looking at her parents.“What does it say?” Mr Hockings asked as Sheila told them everything that has been happening.“Well, I would have been happy if it were in t
Keith and Camila entered the room to see Gracie and Ian sitting opposite each other with their files in front of them. Ian stood with a firm smile.“Good to see you Mr Thompson, Miss Joffrey,” he greeted, giving both of them a handshake.“So, shall we get on with this? I have a business to attend to,” Keith said as Ian nodded.“Sure. Have a seat,” Ian said, sitting down as Keith and Camila followed suit. “So, about what we discussed, what's your take on the matter?” Ian asked as Gracie cleared her throat, folding her hands.“My client has already decided not to give his property to the government and has decided to take the matter to court,” Gracie said, looking at Keith and Camila.“Court? Are you sure about this?” He asked Keith.“Yes. I've decided to take this to court. I'm not going to give my land to the government just because they say so. No hard feeling but I just can't,” Keith said, shaking his head.“I hope you do know that if you lose the case then you'll lose a lot. What y
