His Village Girl (BWWM)

Chapter 21: Secrets

While Anahi was getting her makeover done, Dante had important business to take care of.

Business, that involved Ejura.

While Dante had "old money", he also had "new money", which made him above the average aristocrat.

When he was eighteen, he started a business of his own.

What was the business?

He sold guns.

To dangerous people.

It wasn't easy. He faced ridicule from many about it and he had to prove himself.

Every now and then, a particular individual would try to double cross him, which was why he did not trust a soul.

He was his own boss, everyone else was below him.

Every month he would check with the many locations around the world.

Just a few months ago, he was in Ejura because a deal had gone wrong.

***********************

ShemAlumongo, the man in charge of the Ejuran location, tried to turn the people there against him.

He wan't answering his calls and he wasn't delivering the goods to the customers.

Dante was on the brink of losing his clientele.

So he boarded his jet and headed to Spain as soon as the first client threatened him.

*************

"What the hell is going on!" yelled Dante.

There was Shem, sitting in his chair and ordering everyone around.

"Dante, so nice of you to join us." says Shem, a well built man in his forties.

"You will treat me with respect Shem!" roared Dante.

"I don't have to take orders from you!" yelled Shem, pulling out a gun.

Everyone automatically pointed their guns at Shem.

"You idiots!" he snapped, "you will betray your own for a white man?"

"It's not about race affiliation Shem, it's about loyalty. My men are all loyal, unlike you. Run while you still can and I'll let you live despite the face that you messed up big time." answered Dante.

He looked around, sweating.

Then he bolted.

Dante glanced at his watch and counted to 20.

Then, turning to the men, he said:

"Find him and shoot him."

The men nodded and ran outside after him.

Not so long after, his scream was heard as shots were fired.

Dante shook his head.

Couldn't let the rotten apple stay in the barrel.

*******************

That week had been tiresome.

Shem's body had to be disposed of and the deliveries had to be made, after which Dante appointed Shem's assistant, Winton to take charge.
