Sheila's face was so pale one would be worried that she would faint. She glanced around frantically hoping somebody_ or anybody would bust out laughing and tell her it was a joke and Keith was their butler. Anything else that didn't suggest Keith was rich.“That's not true,” Sheila said, shaking her head left to right as if to shake off what she had just heard.Frank stayed completely still with his mouth wide open. How on earth could the Keith that had been begging him for more days so he could pay off his debt, the Keith who had been hustling his ass off, how did he manage to own a company. Not just any company but the Ancient Wealth companies. Frank knew nothing much about the company, no one knew anything about it, but the rumor about the company was that it belonged to very powerful people. Those people had been known as the wealthiest people in the world. And now it belonged to Keith Thompson, how could that be possible? The thought of it caused Frank's head to hurt and his clue
“What problem?” Sheila asked, her face marred with a frown as she took her attention from Frank to her father. She dropped her purse onto the center table.A gasp pulled all their attention away from Mr. Hockings to face Mrs. Hockings, “Sheila, what happened to your face?”Instinctively, Sheila raised her hand to her face to cover it. “It's not important.”Mr. Hockings dropped the files he was holding and matched to where Sheila was standing then pushed her hand off to examine her face. “Did this bastard hit you?” He glared at Frank advancing towards him.Sheila immediately got between them, “No Dad, can we please talk about this later? Let's discuss the problem first.” Mr. Hockings doesn't look convinced but backs away, “This better not be your doing Frank, or you are a dead man. Mark my words.” Frank didn't flinch as he watched with no reaction.“Your father ran into problems with some of his investments,” Mrs. Hockings explained.Mr. Hockings scoffed, “By some, you mean most. I w
The house was perfect, Keith thought as he stared at the large house. Camila had done it and managed to get him the perfect house and the best part was he was close to getting his perfect lady. “So Mr. Thompson,” Camila called, from beside him. He glanced down at her and smirked in response to the teasing glint in her eyes. “Yes, Mrs Joffery?”Camila smirked, “After an eternity of searching we finally got the perfect house for Keith Thompson.” Keith let out a quiet laugh, swinging an arm over Camila and drawing her to himself, and she instantly nestled into his side, something they had both gotten used to. “The perfect house for the perfect man.” He smirked, gesturing wildly at the house in his view. Camila snickered, elbowing him, “Aren't you very humble?” She mocked but the smile on her face grew wider.Keith groaned rubbing his side, “I'm not done yet, relax. The perfect house for the perfect man and founded by the perfect woman and together they live happily ever after.” Cam
Sheila paced angrily in her room, her hand subconsciously rubbing her right cheek softly, it still hurt from the sting of the slap and each time she felt the pain she cursed the man wishing him a horrible death. Keith thought he has won because he is fucking an old hag who was rolling in cash, he thought he could get away under her protection but she would prove him wrong, remind him who the boss is, and get her revenge. Keith had messed with the wrong person. She was going to get back at him no matter what, not even his old hag wouldn't be able to save him. Sheila stopped pacing, panting softly like she ran a marathon. The first day she met Keith was at a seminar which she had attended because her father was busy and couldn't go himself so she had to cover up for him. That day she wasn't only pissed to have to be attending a boring meeting about things that didn't matter to her but had to cancel plans that were actually important to come and act interested in stuff she didn't give
Keith held out the chair for Camila, watching keenly as she settled down, setting her purse down. “Thank you,” Camila said as Keith crossed to go sit at the other end. “The place is beautiful.” Keith smiled, he had hoped she would like, and knowing she did filled him with a sense of pride. “It's been my favorite after I came across it years back as a hustling man.” Although Keith smiled at the memory that was beginning to form, the smile slowly washed off as he recalled who he had first brought to this place months after discovery. It had been here he took Sheila for their first date and where he realized he was in love with her and wanted something more than casual with her.“Are you alright?” Camila asked as a gleam of worry flashed through her eyes. He managed a small smile, “Yes of course, a road trip down memory lane always gets me a bit emotional,” he lied, unsure he wanted to tell the woman he was recently courting about the other one. “Anyway as I was saying, I discovered
Sheila heaved a sigh from where she sat at the end of the dining table, distractedly stabbing mercilessly at her bacon. Today has proven just as yesterday to be stressful and annoying and the only difference was that she was able to convince her father to come down for dinner, with the help of her mother of course. She peeped up at her father who was stabbing his fork into his plate, barely trying to eat.Mrs. Hockings cleared her throat, “Hey honey, do you care for more sauce?”Mr. Hockings took his gaze off his plate and nodded absentmindedly, reaching for the bowl of sauce her mother was holding out to him. Sheila knew her father would not be eating that and she knew her mother knew that too but her mother was just trying to lighten up the tense atmosphere.Sheila took her gaze to her father, who was staring at her but not at her, his eyes were glazed with a haunted look in them. In just a matter of days, Mr. Hockings has had drastic physical change, his eyes were dim and the eyeba
Sheila pushed up her feet and began packing angrily, scrolling through her phone and searching for more tabloids related to her now supposedly rich ex-boyfriend. The building he was trying to purchase once belonged to the Mars family_ the Mars family had been the formally richest in the city before they died tragically. The death was tragic since they had no heir to take over because they all died in a fatal accident, so most of their properties were in the hands of their lawyers or other figures Sheila couldn't care less about. She was once very interested in the house as at the time the incident happened, she had tried persuading her father to buy one of the Mars family houses but they weren't able to as the prices of the house were enough to give anyone a hypertension. And now Keith Thompson was on the verge of buying not only one of the buildings but the most expensive house of the Mars family. Her mind flashed back to yesterday in the restaurant when Keith was called the boss
Soft rays of morning light were beaming across Keith's closed eyes. But he did not want to wake up, instead, he snuggled closer to the warmth of his bed. His arm reached up to soothe the fallen pieces of hair away from his face. He really hadn't planned to wake up this early but the loud blasting sounds from his phone were making him rethink that.Who could be calling this early, Keith thought with a mumbled grunt. He made an odd noise at the back of his throat and snuggled closer into his pillow, his eyes snapped open and he waited patiently for his mind to clear of its grogginess but he didn't have that liberty as his blasted phone began ringing again. Finally forcing his mind out of the groggy state he rolled off his bed and moved to pick up his phone from where it was vibrating against the nightstand.All sleepiness cleared from his mind when he saw that it was Mr. Kevin, who was calling, he sat up straight and immediately picked up the call, “Mr. Kevin,” he said, his voice eviden
