They Will Fall At Her Knees chapter nineteen
I simply sat on the comfort chair with a drink in my hand. Watching James and my sister try and save the little they had was fun. I have never seen her so scared. The thought of going back to a poor state scared the hell out of her. But I didn't pity them. They had stolen everything from me. My home, my mother and the wealth she left behind for me. I was not going to watch anymore. I was going to fight and show them how much I was going to make them suffer. I watched as James sighed the document and pushed it across the table. " It is done." Hawkins said into the coms. " Also, tell them they are dropping the cars too. Everything they had today was all thanks to my dead mother. I am going to be taking more than half of everything they have." I said again Hawkins relaxed, a gentle smile played on his lips. "Is that all?" James asked " All? No. This is actually the beginning of a long term business between the two of us actually." Hawkins replied." What do you mean? We didn't

James held her gaze, but there was something fractured behind his eyes now. A secret he has kept for many years was now about to be blown right in his face. It was supposed to be simple but Sheila's father was smarter. James thought he was going to be handling everything to his daughter but instead Gerald didn't. For a moment, he said nothing.Then he laughed.It wasn’t humor. It was exhaustion.“You still think this is about me alone,” he said quietly, shaking his head. “That’s the problem, Sheila. It stopped being just about me the moment you said ‘I do.’”Sheila stiffened, her fingers tightening again around the pen. “Then start talking,” she snapped. “No more half-truths.”James stared at her. He knew the moment he told her the truth then he was going to lose his grip, lose his hold over her. He never loved her anyways. It was all about the inheritance. It was almost about getting his share out of the Gerald siphon from his late wife. That was his plan and it was quite simple.

" What is he talking about?" Sheila asked James gaze slowly left Hawkins and landed on Sheila who was a bit jittery. " You don't need to listen to whatever he says. My name's James Howard and that is it!" " Is it?" Hawkins said laughing. James knew he was caught in Hawkins trap again. " Fine! Where do I sign!" Sheila rushed toward him and grab the pen. " And you think we don't need to talk about this?" she snapped. James frowned.." Can you give us a minute?" he asked looking at Hawkins.Hawkins simply laughed and got to his feet. " Of course. You have all the time you want. Let me know what you decide to do but mind you..." he took a pause. " You don't have a choice." The door clicked shut behind Hawkins, but the echo of his words lingered like a stain in the room.You don’t have a choice.Sheila turned sharply to James, her grip still tight on the pen as though it were the only thing keeping her grounded. “Explain,” she demanded, her voice lower now, but far more dangerous.

James eyes scanned the document real quick. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets seeing the agreement terms. "Are you for real? What the hell is this?" he shouted. The ball pen he was holding suddenly fell off his hands while he pushed the boom back to the middle of the table. Sheila's gaze went to the centre of the table and he immediately grabbed the book. She read it real fast before her gaze changed into something meaner. " Is this real? You want seventy percent of everything we have laboured for? Why?" she snapped. " Why what?" Hawkins said with amusement in his voice. He snapped his hands into the air again and a girl brought a tray containing a glass bottle for brandy. " Care for a cup of wine?" he asked" Keep your wine, Mr Hawkins. We don't know what we have done for you to be doing this." Sheila said, her eyebrows furrowed. " If I tell you what you, would you have apologized or does that change the fact that what you did was wrong?" Hawkins said again,his han

The man at the far end of the table didn’t flinch. His calm demeanor made the gun in James’s hand feel almost absurd. James’s finger itched on the trigger, but there was something in the man’s posture—an effortless confidence—that made him hesitate. Sheila could see it too; she stepped closer to James, trying to anchor him.“James… don’t,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Just… just listen.”The man slowly turned his head, and the room seemed to shrink around them. His eyes were sharp, piercing, as if he could see straight through their intentions. He leaned back slightly in his chair, his hands folded neatly on the table.“Ah,” he said finally, his voice smooth and cold. “So you’ve brought the gun. Bold… and foolish.”James’s jaw tightened. “Foolish? You’ve been playing games with us for days. You think I’m afraid of you?”A faint smile curved the man’s lips. “Fear isn’t the point. Understanding the game… that’s the point.”Sheila’s stomach knotted. She could feel the tension

Sheila and James stared at each other for quite a while. They both knew they were fighting a shadow. A shadow that doesn't care about negotiating but brings them down to their very knees. Sheila landed on the sofa, and tears welled in her eyes. "Do you think this is karma? Maybe we are paying for what we did to her." She said softly. James's gaze hardened. "I don't think this is anything. All I see is a man trying to sabotage everything we have worked and gathered! I am not going to sit back and watch that happen." The room went silent. "What are you going to do? I don't think there is anything we can do at this point." Sheila said "Why don't you worry about whatever it is you ladies worry about and let me fix this?" "James said, getting to his feet." "Do you think you are in this alone? We are a family remembered. Whatever you do is surely going to come back to bite us in the ass, so you had better tell me what your giant plan is all about." James said nothing but simply br
