"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 paused what they were doing and turned to stare at her."You are awake" Ebiere smiled. She raised her hand to feel Tari's temperature, but Tari slapped it off. The frown on her face deepened."Still rude" Ebiere nodded and dropped her arm."You need to eat and go clean up with Freyana." Ebiere said."Pardon?" Tari questioned with a raised eyebrow."Clean. Clean what?" Tari demanded.Freyana exchanged glances with Ebiere. Ebiere stood up from the small round table, then she sat beside Tari's bed."You heard me right? The chiefs want you gone, especially Lady Athena; even the warriors and the villagers." Ebiere sighed."And how the fuck should that affect me? Do I look like I want to be here?" T
[Veinhill~Mud Hospital]Tari's eyes slowly parted open. Blinking repeatedly until her vision was clear. She made to stand, but a shock wave of pain from her back hit her like a tornado, and she fell back onto her stomach.She groaned, gritting her teeth as the pain shot through her system."Don't t

"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
