“How did you two meet?” Camila asked as Duncan smiled.“It's funny,” he said as he sighed.“You really love her, don't you?’ she asked as he nodded. Camila sighed hopefully. “There was no need to separate them. It would become a fruitless journey,” she thought as Keith appeared.“Get up. We're leaving,” Keith said, angrily.“What happened?” Camila asked, standing up.“I'll explain on the way,” Keith said as Duncan stood up, placing both hands in his pocket.Keith and Abraham stepped aside into a quieter corner. Abraham smirks, leaning in close, his voice low but laced with venom."Well, well. The comeback kid himself. I have to admit, I’m impressed by your resilience. But I’ll say it plainly, you’re making a mistake trying to rebuild. You should’ve stayed down when you had the chance." Abraham said as Keith smirked slightly."Funny, I didn’t think I needed anyone’s permission to keep moving forward. Certainly not yours. If this is why you called me over, then I must say you just waste
“There's no need for that. To be frank with you, I planned on keeping an eye on you but then I saw you with Duncan over here and I thought, anyone who's a friend of Duncan must be a good person,” Cole said, as both men looked at Duncan. Even Camila looked at him too and this made Keith curious on who Duncan really was. Duncan laughed, removing one hand from his pocket.“You flatter me, Wright. I'm still under you,” Duncan said, laughing as Cole joined him.“Nonsense. You are more than that. In fact, I have a lot to learn from you,” Cole said as Keith looked at Duncan.“Don't say that. Why don't I leave you with Thompson. I'm sure you have a lot to say to him. I have something important to handle,” Duncan said, walking away.“Do you have time because I would really get to know you,” Cole said as Keith looked at Camila and Cole noticed that. “I'm sorry if I didn't introduce myself to you. Who might you be?” Cole asked, taking Camila's hand and kissed the back of her hand. Camila smiled
“It may shock you but everything people think I own actually belongs to him,” Cole said, nodding towards Duncan. “I'm just helping him manage his business so no one knows,” Cole said as Keith was shocked.“What about you?” Keith asked, looking at Cole.“I have my business but it isn't in the country. I have businesses in other countries but Duncan had asked for my help or should I say he demanded it as debt I was supposed to repay to his late father,” Cole said and when Duncan heard it he scoffed.“You talk too much for an old man your age,” he said, walking out.“Don't pay attention to him. He's cranky just like his mother,” Cole said as Keith was speechless which made the man laugh. “I'm sure you've been shocked today,” Cole said as Keith agreed with the man.Camila sighs, removing her clothes.“The day started badly but I can say for sure that it ended well. I actually had great fun today,” she said, wiping off her makeup. “I can't believe I'm saying this but Sheila can be fun when
Keith and Camila waited for Duncan at the restaurant Smart reserved for them. “He's here,” Camila said, placing her hand on his lap. They both turned to see Duncan coming with Sheila. Camila began to get angry. She really wasn't happy to see her.“I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was busy with something,” Duncan said, sitting down as Sheila joined him.“No problem,” Keith said, giving them a small smile.“Oh, we can clearly see what you were busy with,” Camila said but neither Duncan nor Sheila said anything to her which got her angry. She didn't like the feeling of being ignored. “Why is she here?” She asked as Duncan looked at her.“I can't remember having an appointment with you but here you are,” Duncan said, smiling at Camila before giving his attention to Keith. Sheila just gave Camila the sassy look. “Why did you call to meet up?” Duncan asked.“I want us to come up with a way to deal with Abraham once and for all. Camila is pregnant and I'm sure he's coming up with plans
While Camila began to show. Her stomach was getting bigger and she made sure that she never missed an appointment with her doctor. Sheila and Duncan were still meeting secretly. They were now investing in their relationship much to Mrs Genevieve's dismay. Although they were all enjoying their time, their guards were never down. They had not heard from Abraham but they knew this was just a calm before the storm. One of the days, Mrs Genevieve cooked dinner and invited her son's along with Keith and Camila but to her dismay, Duncan brought Sheila.“I thought Abraham was keeping an eye on you? How do you usually escape from his sight to do as you please?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Sheila smiled, sitting properly on the dining table.“That's why I'm smarter. I know my way around things. You don't need to care so much about me,” Sheila said, smiling which annoyed Mrs Genevieve more. Duncan sighed, tired of the constant quarrels between his girlfriend and his mother.“Please can we all be at p
“Someone needs to grow up. You're not always around and mum needs someone to be there for her although she never admits it but she misses you too,” Smart said as Duncan nodded.“Yeah, I know that. Only if she would just say so and stop pushing everyone away,” Duncan said as Smart smiled.“You're just like mum,” Smart said as Duncan scoffed.“She just wants to be controlling but I'm not like that and I can't have her doing that to me. Sheila has her flaws but she's good when you get to know her,” Duncan said, done with smoking.“I know that already. You wouldn't be hell-bent on being with her if she was evil,” Smart said as Duncan looked at his brother.“Go stay with mum although I won't be so sure she would need it since her other family are with her. I need to go,” Duncan said, patting Smart on his shoulder before leaving.“Where is he?” Mrs Genevieve asked immediately when Smart entered the room. Keith and Camila looked at him as he looked at them too before looking at his mother.“
An hour later, Keith was working on a new project when his phone rang. He saw that it was Camila and so he picked it.“Did you miss me already? It hasn't been long we just spoke,” he said but there was no response. “What? Are you shy already? Why aren't you saying anything?” He asked, smiling as there was still no response.“Isn't this romantic?” Keith heard a male voice. He became confused as he checked the caller to see if he was mistaken.“Who's this and how did you get this phone?” He asked, not smiling.“I must say, I'm not happy that you couldn't recognize my voice. I thought we were close enough for you to know my voice? Well, it seems you only have Camila in your heart,” the voice said as Keith clenched his fists.“Abraham, what are you doing with Camila's phone and where is she?” Keith asked as Abraham laughed.“She's with her elder brother. What's so wrong in wanting to take care of my little sis and my unborn niece and nephew?” He asked as Keith stood up.“Look, if anything
Just as he arrived at the spot, Smart arrived there too.“Did you find it?” Smart asked as Keith showed him Camila's phone.“She isn't here. It's a dead end,” he said as the police arrived.“Mr Thompson, we've been briefed on the recent happenings. Please be rest assured that we will find Miss Joffrey,” the inspector said as Keith nodded.“Make sure you find her along with the bastard who did this to her,” Keith said as they nodded.“But sir, do you have anyone that you suspect?” The inspector asked as Keith and Smart looked at each other.“None that I know for now,” Keith said as they nodded, leaving to carry out a search in the area. They checked for CCTV cameras. While they were still searching, Smart leaned closer to Keith.“Why didn't you tell them that you're suspecting Abraham Corner? Why didn't you call his name?” He asked as Keith looked at the officers doing their job and then at Smart.“Not now. We don't know what he's up to and I know he also has people working for me at t
