“I wasn't trying to annoy you neither was I trying to seem less concerned about the fact that you're pregnant. I was just taking it all in. You just sprang that up on me and I didn't know how to react. Why would you even think that?” Keith asked softly.“Because we lost our first child,” Camila said sniffing. “And Abraham is still out there and I… I don't know what to do. I'm so confused,” Camila said as Keith hugged her. He rubbed her back patting her before putting her at arm's length.“Hey, please look at me,” he said but she wasn't looking. “Look at me Camila,” he said as she raised up her head to look at him. “I'm not bothered about us losing our first child. I'm worried but I won’t allow it to affect this one and you shouldn't either,” Keith said, making sure she was looking at him. “We'll have this baby and we're going to give it all that love it deserves. And don't bother about Abraham. We'll deal with him. You have me, Mrs Genevieve and so many other people who love you and I
Sheila went home slightly drunk to Abraham waiting patiently for her.“Hey you! What are you doing here? I hope you weren't waiting for me because I don't need it. I can take care of myself,” she said as Abraham glared at her.“You're drunk,” he said as she scoffed.“I'm not drunk. I'm perfectly sober,” she said, trying to go up the stairs as Abraham nodded.“Since you're perfectly sober, how about you explain to me why you were laughing with Keith Thompson,” Abraham asked, folding his hands.“I don't know what you saw but I won’t tolerate you spying on me. If you want to ask anything, you come to me directly,” Sheila said as Abraham gave an evil smirk.“You don't tell me what to do. I won't tolerate it,” Abraham said, standing properly as Sheila gulped but she never showed how scared she was.“Whatever you saw was just a woman grieving. If your spy is competent, he or she would have seen that I was alone till he came along. I was only grieving,” she said as he scoffed.“What bullshit
“What a business minded man. He really knows his dough,” Camila said as Keith groaned.“Are we here to sing his praises,” he snapped as everyone kept mute. He sighed, going back to reading the paper.“Looks like someone is jealous,” Mrs Genevieve muttered but Keith heard her loud and clear. He turned, giving her a piercing glare as she cleared her throat. “Where were we again?” She asked, looking into the document which was handed to her. Smart just chuckled. His mother can be a lot of things. “He sold sponsorship rights to businesses that want to brand certain areas of the park or events hosted,” she read out.“That's huge,” Smart said as Keith nodded.“He developed recreational facilities like investing in amenities such as sports courts, playgrounds, fitness areas that can be used for classes and events, potentially generating additional income through fees,” Camila informed them. “He also Incorporated eco-friendly practices and educational programs that attract school groups and f
“Do you need anything, Chris? We've seen the news, now you can go,” she told him.“But that isn't all ma'am. The news anchor is still saying something,” he told them.“What the heck does she want to say again?” Camila snapped, getting angry.“How about we sue these news anchors? They always bite more than they can chew,” Mrs Genevieve stated, going to sit down.“Good evening, everyone. In today’s business news, we’re turning our attention to a prominent billionaire businessman, Keith Thompson, who has launched an ambitious new housing project. This venture aims to attract substantial investment from both private and institutional investors, promising a range of luxurious properties designed to meet the growing demand for high-end housing. However, as we’ve seen in the past, large-scale real estate projects can sometimes face unexpected challenges. Investors and homeowners alike will be watching closely to see how this project unfolds. Let’s hope this isn't another failed attempt and t
“I'm sorry. Didn't mean to be disrespectful but I was asked to be your bodyguard. You aren't allowed to leave the house without one,” John stated as she hummed.“Is that so?” She asked, smiling. “Who the fuck asked you to do that?” She asked.“You know who?” John said smiling as Sheila smiled back while giving him a piercing glare.“This must be funny to you,” she said, chuckling while John just looked at her. “You're really enjoying this,” she said, sucking her teeth while thinking about what to do. “Max!” She shouted as Max came running.“Yes ma'am,” he answered, while throwing his head at John as a sign of acknowledgement. “You called,” he said, facing Sheila.“I'll be going out, and so you'll be coming with me after all, I need a bodyguard,” she said, looking at John with a smirk on her face. The smile on John's face wiped off.“But ma'am, I was asked to follow you and not him. I'll be disobeying orders,” John said as Sheila smirked.“Well, who knows? All I know is that a bodyguar
“I'm so sorry Agnes. I forgot to check the caller. I was so engrossed in work that it slipped my mind,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings chuckled.“It's okay. You really don't need to explain. I shouldn't have called by this time. I didn't think it through. Sorry for distracting you,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila shook her head.“No, it's okay. I wasn't really that busy,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings said a small okay. There was a minute of silence before Camila broke it. “Are you still there?” She asked.“Umm… yes. I don't know. I feel like I'm wasting your time,” Mrs Hockings said, chuckling nervously.“What is it, Agnes? Do you need anything?” Camila asked.“Well, yes. You remember that stuff you told me about?” Mrs Hockings asked as Camila tried recollecting.“Oh yes, I do remember. What's up? You finally gave it a thought.” Camila asked, smiling.“Yes, I did but I think I like it. I'll do it. I told my husband and daughter about it but Sheila wasn't too pleased about it because I was as
Abraham arrived at the gathering as other elite men praised him.“Here comes the richest business tycoon of our time,” Mr Loveday praised as other men laughed, agreeing with him. Abraham chuckled, shaking his head, grabbing a drink from a waiter passing by.“I think you all are giving me too much credit. I wouldn't have gone this far without any of you by my side. It was really a pleasure having each and every one of you around,” Abraham said, raising his glass to them as he drank from it.“My friend, you're too modest. We know how humble you are but at least, you should take praise for your hard work sometime,” Asher said as Abraham shrugged.“I hear you my friend. I'll definitely take your advice on that,” Abraham said as Asher laughed.“Of course. You do that,” he said, sighing. Unfortunately, Keith Thompson couldn't accept my invitation,” Asher said as Abraham, who was about to drink from his cup, paused. He just blinked and drank from his cup not showing anything.“That's unfortu
“Okay mum, I'm done listing the things I know you'll need for your business since you'll be starting at home,” Sheila said, writing some things down in a book.“Is that so?” Mrs Hockings asked, joining her daughter at the table.“Of course. It's your first business and I simply want to support you in whatever you're doing,” Sheila said as her mother smiled at her.“That's really sweet of you. Thank you,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila waved her off.“It's nothing mum. I'm happy just doing this for you,” Sheila said as Mr Hockings snorted. She turned to her dad. “Was that a snort?” She asked, folding her hands.“Pardon me if it sounded offensive,” Mr Hockings said sarcastically.“No, don't stop on my account. Please, go ahead and speak your mind,” Sheila said as Mrs Hockings placed her hand on her forehead. She knew a quarrel was brewing between the father and daughter.“It's just funny how you're jealous of Camila just because she helped your mother. You're only trying to compete with he
