"You have no idea what you've done."
The man spat, his face was a bit bloodied as he glared hard at the figure standing in front of him.
"Oh I have good knowledge of what I've done." Her voice was velvet smooth and calm, she wore a smile.
"You don't seem like you were few hours ago_ we're not that far from your court, how far are Ahmed?"
"Fourteen Miles, mistress."
"I will slit your throat and piss in your grave."
He hissed, he was red with anger, his wrist hurt but he ignored it. One minute he was eating slow roasted goat his subject made a while ago another he was spitting it all out because of the punch delivered to his stomach
"You have no idea what's going on do you?" She stretched out her hand and someone placed a dagger in it.
"Let's start small." She stood up and grabbed the man tied next to him by the hair, she slowly ran the knife across his throat.
Blood spill on the floor before she got to the end.
This made the yapping man shiver, she made the man feel the pain of dying, he jerked as his opened throat spilled blood
"There's something that's quite unsettling." She said as she dropped the dagger on the ground.
"I could've tolerated everything and that Jen wanted to let slide, she always wants things to be bygone, she's a peace advocate even with what she's gone through, but you had a flaw in your belittling course." She squatted in front of him.
"Raji promised you weapons that were not his to begin with, he stole them and gave them to you as emm...payment, stolen weapons for God sake, you're old enough to be reasonable." He was still stunned, her bloody hand held his chin and brought his eyes to hers.
"Raji is dead, so is his subjects. I know the weapons are below your house, the same place were you call safe house. Your children and family and people you hold dear to or not are in there, there's a drone hovering over there ready to drop a present."
"Please I beg you.
"Did your child wives beg you?" She asked, he slowly nodded
"Good, did their premature wombs give you that healthy baby boy you want?" He shook his head.
"No?, they even died during the process. That's fucked up." She sighed.
"Raji said he was given the weapons by a bigwig from the states. He kept them as spoils, the only thing he retrieved from the mission was a vacuum flask, it was a biological weapon that was priceless.
"See, it wasn't that hard was it?" She grinned, she pulled a gun from behind her and shot him in between his eyes.
With Nabil Mohammed dead in Yemen, it was obvious that the balance has shifted again, she was going for the Vaccum flask.
"Raji told me about the flask already, Nabil's death is just for testing waters."
"What do we do with the body?"
"Take it to Faruq territory, this will fuel the tribal war and give way for...
"No, don't do that." She said as she finish the table water.
"At least one of you must have read the bible, at least out of curiosity.
"Yes mistress, I'm a convert.
"Good for you, stories with lessons. Judges 19, make it look more like a peace treaty and less threatening.
"Leave it to me Mistress."
"Good, I have a wedding to attend."

It slowly began to dawn on the little girls how wealthy Jenna was, they had house cleaning service come in every morning to clean, a handsome man who made their meals and a nutritionist who made mom meals, when Diane caught a cold a two people claiming to be a medical team came and treated her.
Mum stopped her office job and only went out if it was absolutely necessary. Every weekends the food in the pantry got replaced and restocked.
The lifestyle changed overnight and everyone was happy, it was a dream come true. Nobody was complaining or anything at last they didn't go to bed hungry or delay payment in rent or bills.
Jenna hasn't been in the house for the meantime according to mum she went to a wedding in Singapore and would be back soon, Diane like the idea of traveling out of the country and even schooling abroad, she had made this known to Big sis.
"You can get your bachelor's here, and perhaps do your masters or any doctorate abroad.
"Why can't I do both in London or the US?"
"I need you to be close to home where you could get help quickly, I don't want you to go through what I went through_
"Ohh, so I can do my masters in London
"Yes, you can do that." Her big sister nodded, she kept to her word and she believe she won't go back on it.
The doorbell rang she was scrolling through social media, it rang several times making her groan before walking to the door. She opened it and met a tall man, it was as if he just stepped out of a men's health magazine. He wore a suit and had raven dark curls, he had ocean blue eyes and wore a sweet yet charming smile.
"Hello, is your sister home?"
***
"The next time we meet, you're going to be mine."
"We are both scared of what I am, throwing yourself at me would mess things up.
"I know, I like the thrill, a part of you likes it too."
"We don't want the same thing, I don't want to hurt you. Mel likes you but I'm the rational one. Mel will kill you"
"I want all of you, I'll do anything." He said firmly.
"It's really sick that Mel is trying to convince me that you're just a sweet man.
"Well she's not wrong, I've never had anything better than this in my whole life and I'm not going to let go."
"Mel is going to get you killed.
"As long as I can get to do so in her laps."
