“Thompson, that bastard.”Sheila raised her head at the sound of Frank's voice, she watched the door patiently until he pushed the door to their room open and slammed it harshly shut as he stepped into the room. She took in his large figure with a raised brow, his hair was messy like it had gotten fingers run through thousands of times. He had gotten rid of the suit jacket and tie, even the buttons on his shirt had been left undone, and it was not long before she noticed he had also gotten rid of his belt. Sheila scoffed, it seemed to be that Frank got impatient and undressed on his way up, which she found funny. His shoulders were slumped in defeat and his body was tense, his nose was flared and his eyes were filled with anger. “What got you this riled up? What did Thompson do this time?” She questioned curiously, dropping her phone to turn to Frank and give her full attention to him. Frank scoffed, “He bought yet another of my property.”Although the news was not pleasing to Sheil
Sheila frowned then repeated, “Sue Thompson? How is that in any way going to help the situation?” She questioned curiously.Frank resisted the urge to slap his palm over his face, for someone as smart as Sheila, she asked stupid questions sometimes, questions that should never be near her mouth ever but it was quite the opposite for Sheila as she tended to drop stupid remarks from time to time.He eyed her for a minute wondering if he should give her some moments so she could redeem herself by figuring it out herself but he decided against it, “Well of course it is going to help us in every way, Sheila darling,” he said with a mocking smirk.Sheila scrunched his face, realizing what he was up to. “This is the part you open your mouth to use and try to make yourself useful with it but instead you use it to prove what a fool you are,” she snapped, narrowing her gaze on him, daring him to speak and challenge her.Frank stood his ground, his gaze hard and unwavering. If he wanted to, he w
“Initially at first, it was but in the long run I thought why not, it's an opportunity so why not use it.”Camila waited until he was finished speaking before she began to disentangle her body from Keith to sit upright, ignoring his grumbles of disagreement, she dropped her glass of wine and Keith immediately followed suit, but she hardly paid him any attention and turned her body around to face him. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed from his comment from earlier about giving whatever she wanted, including the number one spot she had always been longing for. It was about time she moved from number two and God did she deserved it, so of course she would not want anyone else taking the spot from her anytime soon now that she had claimed it, not even her handsome and talented boyfriend.“Well I understand, I would not let such an opportunity pass either. But I got a little confused though, If you are patronizing the family you hate, how is that you getting revenge? I get that you ar
Sheila moved from where she was sitting idly on the bed, Frank had long ago exited the room to attend to some important business, leaving her all alone with her thoughts and the unbearable silence of the room. Sincerely, she was beginning to think she was going insane as she assumed she could hear the swirling thoughts in her head, but that could not ever be possible and it was just her dying of boredom and being locked in for so long. It has been a week since Keith Thompson exposed her in public, and ruined her in public. She could no longer go anywhere with her head up high anymore, everybody was talking about her even brats_ everybody judging and crucifying her but the annoying part was the people lurking around to watch her. It was certain there would be some reporters around the house at the moment waiting around to get a chance to talk to her and be honored with having the first exclusive interview with her, but why would she even bother talking to any of them? Who would it hel
Keith stayed completely still in front of the large mirror in his room, playing with the button on the sleeve of his shirt. His mind was far away and wandering, he exhaled softly. He believed it was time, time that he finished off the Hockings, the more he is prolonging the revenge plans and matter the more he continues to expose himself and the people he has newly founded and has begun to care about so deeply into the way of harm. He was a changed person, Keith knew. He would look at himself in the mirror sometimes and compare himself now with Keith Thompson of that time. Aside from the physical differences, like the fuller and longer hair, brighter features, and a less worried stance_ character wise, he has gone through a lot of changes. The hurt and betrayal he got from the one family he loved once upon a time had pushed him into this change. Before Keith was softer and more forgiving, he would have never wanted retaliation or any of this prolonged revenge shit, before Keith would
Keith adjusted his suit jacket as he waited in front of his car parked in the court parking lot. He was waiting for Camila, normally they had been meant to come together but he had to come alone since she had a business emergency to deal with. It was today. The day Keith had not known he had been desperately hoping and longing for. Finally, there would be no more reason to keep stalling and awaiting the perfect moment, today was the day, the court session. The day he was going to deal with the loose ends and end it all, so there would be no reason to be involved in anyone's revenge play and he could finally focus on the future he wanted and dreamt for himself without harboring any hard feelings whatsoever. It was finally the day and Keith was desperate for it to be over already so he could get on with his life already.He glanced around and sighed when he spotted the place where his bodyguards were cooped up trying to hold back the overwhelming press that were trying to get to him and
“I didn't want you handling it by yourself, that was why I was rushing.”Keith's eyes widened as he took in the sight of Camila's flushed self before him, not only were both cheeks red but also her entire face was bright red as she mercilessly chewed on her bottom lip and avoided his gaze. He was beyond astonished, today happened to be the first time Camila was openly saying something so sweet to him. Yes, she was a sweet person when one got closer to her, but it was an extremely rare sight to witness Camila utter something sweet or cringe. She was not a person closed off about emotions she was just naturally shy about the exhibition of emotions which was like an extra chore for her, a chore she avoided at all costs. Now Keith understood why she had not wanted to respond to him.His eyes did not stray from hers as his lips stretched into a very broad smile that stretched up to both his ears, grinning happily like a Cheshire cat. “Awnn, Camila, I am deeply touched.”Camila did not rais
Keith watched as Sheila got down from the driver seat, their gaze jamming at once and for a second Keith thought he saw jealousy spark in her eyes but it was gone in a flash that he believed he imagined it because her eyes were back to being as cold always and for a second, moments of when he was still obsessed with the five foot two blondie flashed into his mind, the good and bad moments, the moments that made him see forever with her and the moments he was madly in love with everything about her, so in love that he became intentionally blinded. He tried to search deep inside his heart for an ounce of the affection he once felt for her if he could still find any, but no. His heart had completely frozen over for Sheila, there would never be warmth for her ever again. Maybe he had not completely hated her at first but now he did, from the very bottom of his heart. The Sheila he knew now has killed whatever feeling he has left for the past Sheila he got fooled by.“The troublemakers ha
