Chapter 9
Unknown’s point of view
I walked into the dark large warehouse that contained the shipment of someone very dear to me. I watched as my men unloaded the golds from the trucks into the warehouse. It’s indeed a successful operation. I know nothing will go wrong.
My presence was soon sighted from where I was standing and the one in charged of this operation came running to me. “Boss,” he hailed the moment he got to me.
I nodded with pride and an exultant smirk. “Good job,” I commented. “Hope you left no trace?” I asked. Because the last I want is him knowing this is a plan.
“No I didn’t,” he answered sharply earning another smile from me. I placed a palm on his shoulder patting him, I knew this would be successful when I put him in charge, he’s been working for me now would be almost ten years and he has never done anything wrong.
“You killed everyone of them like I ordered?” I asked again, inquiring about the operation and how it went.
“Not a single soul is left alive,” he replied, I turned my back ready to leave here, I only came to verify my success.
“And the bodies were all missing?” I asked, and instead of getting a sharp response I got no response. My gaze shifted to his face to see him staring widely at me.
“Did you hide all the bodies like I told you to?” I asked, hoping his face isn’t already saying what I have no interest in listening to.
“Boss we just killed them and never hide their bodies.” He answered sounding nervous already. I took a step back going glaring death at him. He gulped down visibly, moving back to each step I took.
“What. In. The. f**k. Did. I. Ask. You. To. Do?” I asked in a deadly calm voice, pausing in between my words. He kept moving till his back hit the nearest wall and me closing up on me. My hand went up to his neck with my fingers wrapping around it. I applied pressure choking him a little.
“Boss, I swear I forgot, I forgot,” he quickly pleaded, his hand trying to release some pressure pressed against his neck.
“You just ruin everything, the bodies was suppose to disappear so they would think they got betrayed but now they knew something is stolen from them.” I spoke within silent anger, instilling fear in his whole body as he trembled upon the look on my face. He should start guessing his fate because he’s gonna be right.
“I think you’ve ran out of luck, and that’s something I can’t work with.” I stepped away from me, dipping my hand straight into my pocket I brought out my gun c*****g it so quickly I released a bullet through his head, the sound having heads turned over to me. His body fell lifelessly to the ground with blood oozing out of the hole I created through his head.
I signaled for another person to come over, I could see the hesitance in his steps but he came to me. “Clear this body, fail to do that perfectly and you shall become just like him.” I ordered in a cold voice, threatening him with a much more colder voice. He nodded repeatedly like an abnormal turkey.
I gave him a pat before turning back and walking out of the warehouse. He might have found out about this, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still make a deal with it.
Vivian’s point of view
I attended to the customer in front of me with a forced smile plastered on my face. I had to be charming and friendly but that’s the least of my bother. I just didn’t want to express myself through my emotions, I’m sad, down, depressed, I’m sick of everything, I am.
Since I found out the trouble we’re involved in yesterday I couldn’t think straight. I mean who would when they found out they just stepped on a snake’s tail and they promised revenge. I still have my landlord to deal with, so does my colleagues whispering to themselves in that corner while glancing at me, probably planning what to do next with me.
My face went into my palm as I breath loudly into it, failing to see my surroundings. Footsteps approached the counter and when I opened my eyes to see who I saw him.
A sly smile curled up on his lips, and that had my heart doing series of mental flips to calm itself down. I gulped down staring face to face with the man who asked to have me for $15,000 yesterday and I declined politely with him threatening to do it with my approval or not.
“I would love a cup of coffee now please,” he said in a very weird calm voice with his bad man American accent switched to a good boy British accent, his finger giving a single tap on the little metallic bell placed on the counter to be ringed whenever they found the counter empty with no attendant; it’s to signal for our attention. How did he know I work here?
I opened my mouth to talk but words were stuck right under my throat unable to come out. My palms were already sweaty and my whole face would have given out how scared I am right now.
“Wh-What What did you want?” I asked with a squeezed face trying not to stutter, while forcing the words out of my mouth and awaiting a lucid response. I shouldn’t be asking when I know exactly what he wants, he wants my virginity for either $15,000 or forcefully.
“A cup of coffee with cherry on top,” he replied seeming misty about his actions towards me yesterday and what he naturally came here to do.
I stared at him gathering up my courage, if I don’t try to back him off I’m likely going to be stuck in his game forever. He saw me as a scared looking lady, and now I’m gonna have to change his mind.
“What in the f**k do you want with me?” After many mental practices the words came out bold and flawless with no hint of how truly scared I am.
A smirk appeared on his lips as he heard that, he blinked so slowly describing himself dramatic for doing that. “Now the surprise I got is you being feisty, nice to see a dog can bark at a lion.” He was back to using his rough voice with his stupid accent, his expression hardening after saying the proverb he made with a dog. I being the dog and him being the lion.
“You can’t do anything to me,” I said to him, earning myself a dark chuckle from him.
“Darling your little sister Sally said to give you this,” he placed a palm on his lips blowing me a kiss. My lips parted in shock on how he found out about that also.
“You won’t hurt my sister, because if you touch a single hair on her body I promise to chop your body into pieces and feed it to a bloated vulture.” My voice came out angered and silent. I don’t want unnecessary attention from the whole restaurant. If he touch her I would do actually do as I said.
He touched his chest faking to look scared and threatened. “Doll if you don’t meet me back in that club between 12hours, I can as well have your sister said her goodbye through a phone call.” He muttered as he stood on his feet existing the restaurant leaving my expression paled with my mouth out of words.
He has my sister, ‘Like how did he know about her?’ The question popped up in my mind, if he does that means he knows about my life then. If only I can rewind time and never agreed to go to that club, now I wouldn’t be in this mess where my sister’s life is also now in line.
Tears rolled down my eyes as I quickly wiped it clean, this isn’t how I plan to lose my virginity. Why is my life always a tale of bad luck. This isn’t happening to Amber or somebody else but me, why. Why can’t I have a normal life instead of a traumatized one.
This isn’t fair, I bent my head placing it on the counter as tears streamed helplessly down my eyes. Another evidence of how f****d up my life is, I can’t even go cry in private because leaving work when it isn’t break or lunch time means another punishment. I don’t own myself, I have never own myself since I was born.
Why is life so harsh to me, what did I ever do wrong that made everything a bad luck for me, this is just too much and I never expected it at all.
My thought wandered back to our landlord, he gave me until today, if I didn’t find his money then we’re likely homeless. And I just have someone willing to pay me $15,000 for my virginity. Maybe this is God’s way of telling me I’m not forgotten. Just not in the smoothest way.
All I have to do is lose my virginity and things might set right a bit, I will pay and renew our house rent, then fill the house with foodstuffs, clear some bills at my sister’s school, and do a lot more. But just why can’t this be done without me trading my virginity.
“Hey!” Someone called slamming his or her hand on the counter, I jerked up in fear rubbing my face with the white handkerchief I had with me. With a cleared face I stared out acknowledging the mean looking girl standing in front of me.
“The boss require your presence in her office right away.” She relayed her message to me before swaying her way out of my sight.
Richard’s point of view
The time for meeting came and together with my secretary we walked down heading to the conference room.
The door opened as I walked majestically over to my seat provided right at the front of everyone, my secretary staying behind close to the door with a note and a pen in her hands.
“Good day gentlemen, care to explain why a board meeting is called without my approval or knowledge?” I threw out to the ten good looking men seated around the table the moment my butt came sitting down on the hard surface of the chair.
“Do we need your permission to do that or you’ve forgotten who we are?” A bald headed out of them spoke out with the rest supporting with a nod.
I stared deeply at the man who asked the question, “Do I need to remind you that I don’t give a f**k and that you can pull out your shares if you don’t answer my question on why this meeting was called without my attention?” I sat back crossing my leg and placing my hand comfortably on the table, awaiting their responses.
“The meeting was held originally because of you, to discuss about your sudden arrival,” one of them said, earning himself dirty glances from the rest.
“I guess my presence isn’t needed here then?” I made to stand up when he spoke up again saying an entirely different thing.
“To also talk about the next level of RR,” he had said.
I sat back repeating what he said in my head and what he meant by that. “Come again and be more lucid,”
“Your director before he stepped down for you said something about RR going to the next level and we’re waiting for that. We can’t just expand base on refining golds, more can be done under the name RR, and we would love to engage in that.” He explained, placing a confusion look on my face but was facaded with a blank stare.
“And what do you all want to talk about on it? Spill your gut on the thought then.” I said instead, Ray never told me this.
“Thing is other companies you see making it worldwide ain’t just invested in one thing, they use the luck on what they have and share it with something else. RR needs more fame and the whole recognition, we don’t wanna rival Wilson’s Empire, we wanna beat it and top it. And for that to happen, we need to expand our source, be a bigger base, explore the world with our chance.” The man with the gentle face addressed my question with a reasonable answer. He seems to be the only one here enticed with my presence.
“That seems to be a nice suggestion, a decision will be made on that soon. Anymore talking?” I asked, looking around the pair of eyes staring at me, they moved their heads in a nod shakily indicating a no answer.
“Good, then it’s a closed meeting.” I stood up walking out on everyone of them.
“We need a land, located in the middle of the city. Can you secure that?” I said to my secretary as we both step out of the room heading back to my office.
“Sure, I guess I can, don’t mind me asking for what sir?” She replied trying to keep up with my walking pace.
“They want something new, I’m simply giving them something new.” I shrugged going into my office and getting my keys and other stuff cause I’m done here for today.
I need to be somewhere because no one messes with me and try to get away with it.
