LOGIN[Same day~ Afternoon~ Tonla Oil Industries]
Mitari marched into the board room, with her new assistant Benjamin trailing behind her like a lost puppy. All heads turned to her the second she entered. The head of finance stood immediately from his seat and the others followed, urging the rest of the heads of departments to stand until Mitari took her seat at the head of the table with Benjamin standing behind her. "You may all be seated" Mitari ordered and leaned back on her chair. Immediately they all sat on their chairs and the room fell into silence. The long table seemed to stretch as Mitari glared at every one of them. "Can somebody explain to me, what the fuck is going on?" Mitari questioned with gritted teeth. The head of Refinery stood. "For the past two months the products which we refine have dropped from eighty percent to thirty percent. The exploration department hasn't been performing well lately and that has caused the decrease in our refinery output." The head of Refinery spoke. "Exploration department. Do you have anything to say about this?" Mitari asked, turning to the head of the exploration department. Her eyebrows twisted into a deep frown. The head of the exploration department stood. "Mrs Mitari, my workers are in bad condition. The HSE department has declined most of our workers' treatment." The head of the exploration department explained and sat back. "What the fuck does that mean? HSE" Mitari called, her frown deepening. "Mrs Mitari. There is no equipment to use and treat the workers, and our medicines and supplies have been reduced so we have to manage. The procurement department hasn't been supplying us with any equipment" The HSE department defended. "No!" The Head of Procurement department stood. "There has been no funds to buy equipment that is why" The head of the Procurement department explained. "And why is that?" Mitari turned to the Finance department. "Mrs Mitari. When Mrs Tari was still around, we were facing a crisis; our goods were lost at sea and we are still looking for them. Over seven billion worth of goods were lost. And according to what I was told. The customers have been withdrawing since they didn't get their goods, so we can't release funds for the meantime or the company might go bankrupt." The finance head of department explained. The head of the legal department stood. "And clients have been withdrawing too, they say they can't trust anyone else if not Mrs Tari." Immediately Mitari heard this, her head felt like it exploded. Her eyes were red, her pain visible on her forehead. Tari. Fucking Tari, everybody wants fucking Tari! Is she not good enough? How dare they say they can't trust anyone aside Tari. The long table seemed to stretch longer, as her palms gripped the table. The heads of departments and their assistants exchanged looks. Mitari stood up and slammed her hands on the table. "Release funds immediately. I will handle the rest, and give my assistant the names of those clients." With that Mitari stormed out of the boardroom, leaving everyone in awe. The second she entered her office, she let out an ear-piercing scream. "Why?!" Mitari screamed. "Fucking why! Everybody wants that bitch. I should have killed her with my bare hands when I had the chance" She spat. She took her phone ready to call Musa, but her fingers paused hovering over the screen. "He must be busy with work, I should handle this on my own for once." Mitari thought out loud. Biting her nails as she started thinking of ways to destroy Tari's image. Then an idea popped up. "Tari, Tari. You don't know who you are messing with, wherever you are I hope you see this in hell." She immediately went into her hidden gallery, and pulled up Tari's sex tape with the scholarship boy. Her eyes glistening with mischief. "I will take your reputation down with you" Mitari muttered, and went to an anonymous social media account and uploaded the video with the caption "Tari Tonla really had a good time here." A proud smile spread across her lips as she watched her masterpiece. [HOSPITAL~ later that day] Malika walked out of the room she was staying in fully dressed. She just had her afternoon bath and is heading to her father's ward at the top floor. As she walked down the hallways, everybody was busy on their phones. And the moment she walked past they gave her this long stare, that made goosebumps appear on her skin; she rubbed her hands together and decided to check her phone. The phone was knocked out of her hand by a body, the moment she brought it out to check. It fell face flat on the floor and immediately the screen got damaged. "Oh fuck" Malika muttered. "I am so sorry" The person said picking up the phone. Malika looked up, her eyebrows twisted when she recognized the person it was Isaac. "Oh Isaac right?" Malika said, totally forgetting about her phone. "Yes. Hmm, I am really sorry about this, I'll buy you a new one." Isaac offered, but she shook her head. "It's okay, I'll just get it fixed or buy a new one" Malika refused. "I insist" Isaac said. "You're here for my dad right? He must be waiting" Malika said, changing the topic as she took her phone back. The phone didn't turn on when she tried to turn it on. "No, actually I am here for you" Isaac said, looking confused. "Me?" Malika said to herself. "Yes you. I will see Chief later, and your mother is there with him right?" Isaac asked. "Yeah" Malika answered. "So what do you say about me taking you out?" Isaac asked. Malika's cheeks were flushed already. She stared at the ground, hands held in front of her as she started kicking her foot on the floor, shy like a kid asked what they wanted for Christmas. Isaac watched her closely, his gaze following her every move. Hands now in his pocket. "Okay, I will go out with you." Malika replied. "Great then, let's go. I hope your bodyguards won't do something to me" Isaac asked looking around. "No they are with my da..." Isaac pulled her to his chest when a group of nurses walked past them, glaring at her. "The entire family is shameless. One taking over her sister in the space of a day, another one flirting with a rich young man while the other's sex tape is trending at number one worldwide.""Can't we just skip today's cleaning? I am still sore from last night," Tari grumbled, walking side by side with Freyana while shielding her face from the sun."That is why you don't pick a fight with a member of Veinhill, talking more of a chief. Literally Chief Athena," Freyana responded."She started it when she attacked me," Tari defended, already frowning."Girl, you've got balls," Freyana complimented.They walked in silence for a while, before Tari's gaze spotted a mud house. She raised an eyebrow and pointed at it."What is that?" Tari questioned.Freyana's gaze followed the direction of her finger and landed on the mud building."It belongs to the Five," Freyana replied, looking away."The Five? And the infrastructure here is kind of nice," Tari questioned.They walked past a group of Veinhillers, who threw irritated stares at Tari."They are like the gods of Veinhill. Frost — he is the godman of Veinhill. You've had your encounter with him, and I'm pretty sure you know the k
"I will make you a deal." Barasa paused."You work only for me, I will—""Tari!""Tari!"Tari's eyes snapped open almost immediately. She blinked repeatedly, adjusting to the brightness of the room.After a moment she turned her head to the side, only to see Ebiere sitting beside her on the bed."Thank goodness," Ebiere exhaled."I thought the situation was serious when you were brought in last night," Ebiere spoke softly."What happened?" Tari questioned, wiping her eyes with the back of her palm.Tari tried to sit up, but a wave of pain shot through her body, sending shivers through her veins, and she fell back onto the mat."The fuck?" Tari muttered."That is what you get for messing with a chief. And not just any chief — Chief Athena. Are you even in your right mind?" Ebiere scolded, making Tari frown.Ebiere sighed."I am sorry for raising my voice at you," Ebiere apologized."But there are rules here. You do not disobey or fight with a chief here in Veinhill. They are like the g
"Is this what you called me for?" Tari questioned.Arms folded round her chest, a frown on her face as she stared at Barasa's ass.He didn't even spare her a glance. He walked into his closet then came back wearing just shorts.Tari's eyes followed him as he walked past her, purposely bumping into her. She staggered and let out a scoff after regaining her balance.Barasa settled on the bed. Almost immediately, an automated floating table carrying a first aid box floated to Barasa, settling beside him.Tari raised an eyebrow at the table. Tari glanced up and let out a startled gasp, holding her chest."Geez, you are so ugly that your eyes scared me," Tari lied.Barasa wasn't ugly; he was in fact a handsome jerk. She knew that. His piercing gaze frightened her. The way he stared deeply at her, like she was some transparent being and he could see right through her.Barasa gestured for her to come closer. She stared at his gesture and frowned."Look, asshole, I am not your fucking slave,
Tari wiped the last speck of dust away from the enormous painting.She climbed down from the ladder, a loud exhale left her lips as she sat on the giant couch.She stared at the dirty bucket of water for a long time, before staring at her dusty dirty hands.Never in her twenty-six years of living has she ever imagined a life like this for herself.There was nothing she didn't have while she was still in the city — was it power? Wealth? Name it, she had them all.Never in her life has she ever touched a rag, talk less of a bucket.She lay gently back on the couch. Her eyes closed, letting exhaustion take the best of her, but before she could drift off her lids snapped open.Tari's gaze landed on the huge painting on the wall, of a woman covered in a black veil entirely with just her lips left out."I can't do this anymore," Tari muttered, sitting up.She had cleaned the entire tower with Freyana, with Freyana letting her do most of the work."Tari," Freyana called, walking into the roo
"Command, Frost coming in," Frost spoke, hiding behind a sandbag.Gunfire poured in his direction from different angles, most of them hitting the sandbag, while he barely missed some.He racked his gun, and turned to see his target but a bullet came out of nowhere so he had to continue hiding."Commanding Frost speaking, I am in position, do you copy!" Barasa barked into the ear bug.But what came back was complete silence, still nothing from the other end.He gritted his teeth together in frustration, and removed the ear bug from his ear and threw it on the ground.Listening closely from where the bullets were coming from, he made a quick calculation. There are seven shooters.Without further thought. He squatted, using his handgun he shot two of the shooters from the east, then threw a knife at the last one standing at the east, without missing, the knife got the shooter on his forehead and he dropped dead instantly.Barasa immediately took that opportunity and ran for the east buil
"My lady," Antonia called, as she walked into Chief Athena's quarters.Chief Athena glanced up with a smile. With a wave of her hand, all the maids attending to her rushed out.Athena stood from the bed, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, overlooking the buzzing town of Veinhill."Speak," Chief Athena ordered."My lady," Antonia bowed, before raising her head."Frost made her a maid. He also assigned Freyana to work with her as a maid," Antonia said.Athena turned to Antonia immediately, eyes wide with disbelief. Antonia lowered her head, avoiding Athena's gaze."Freyana, your competitor? The best female warrior—or are you joking?" Athena questioned with disbelief.A frown appeared on Antonia's face upon hearing Freyana's name called the best female warrior. But the look disappeared the same way it came."It is true, my lady," Antonia said."I saw them cleaning the tower just now," Antonia added.Chief Athena scoffed, turning her back to Antonia."If you don't have anythi
[Veinhill ~ Maid’s Quarters]Tari covered her ears, trying to block the voices disturbing her sleep. But who was she kidding? The voices kept coming and she had no other choice but to wake from her sleep."The fuck! Keep your voice down" Tari barked, as she sat up on the bed.Ebiere and Freyana pau

"Look, you have to listen to me, I didn't do that because I felt like it. The company was falling apart, I had to do something before it was too late," Mitari defended.Following behind Musa as she paced the living room back and forth."And you didn't fucking ask me before leaking the tape! Are you
