"When embarking on a journey of revenge, ensure to dig two graves, one for your enemy, the other for the evidence if not for you" – Hafeni Hashili

@Hashili Manor

The next morning in the Hashili household was the most awkward morning due to the previous day's circumstances. The servants woke up so early and got to do their jobs, they lay the table with food and breakfast fit for a king and queen as it has been a tradition in the house, yet this time, they had to add extra plates to the table because the house was now filled to the brim and the whole family is now living together. Sonja as usual, now used to living in the house was having her rose filled bath, which the maid prepared for her. Every room had an en suite so no body was disturbing another person for bathroom time. The lady of the house, Evelyn is busy putting on her earrings on the dresser, when her husband came out of the shower and hugged her from behind. Up on the east wing, Daniel, having no clue that his wife left the house, was busy getting ready to go down for breakfast and is putting on his suit from the clothes stash he keeps in his father's house. Stephan's nurse is busy giving Stephan a bath with the help of Sunday who is already dressed into a two piece suit as if he has a meeting or something of such sort to attend, after some few injections to get him ready for breakfast. Boni is in his room busy drying his hair in the mirror with a towel, when a maid came up to the door and knocked. "Can I help you?" he responded pausing a bit with the wiping of hair and turning to position his ear to the door's direction. "I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but breakfast is ready and the whole house will be expected down at the table those are the orders of Mr. David" she said and then she left to another room. Dorothy is straightening her two piece suit and ready to go down. One would think there was a fashion show going on in the Hashili household but this was the order of things to the rich people. She took her pink bottom Ria shoes and put them on. At exactly 7:15, every house member was done and they were leaving the rooms. Sunday was busy pushing the wheelchair followed by the nurse who was the only person wearing a uniform. Sonja dressed in a white two piece suit from Ria's Boss collection was strutting the stairs followed by Dorothy in a Red Two piece skirt suit with Ria shoes on one side of the stairs and after them was David, in his suit also and carrying his working bag. with the help of the assistant butler, the nurse was able to get Stevens wheelchair down the stairs. As if its something planned, on the other side of the stairs Daniel is walking down the stairs, followed by Sunday, who is followed by Boni, and then Evelyn in a long red gown. They all met at the breakfast table where Hope and Hussein where already seated enjoying their breakfast and looking at everyone who just stood there looking at each other. "Can we sit and have Breakfast?" asked the butler pointing at the long table with food. The people just looked at each other and everyone headed for the door. They got in their cars and drove off, apart from Sunday who went upstairs, and Evelyn who sat at the table and joined her kids. Stevens nurse also pulled out the chair and sat down, and started feeding Steven.

@Ondangwa Airport

The air traffic controller is lifting flags directing the private jet which Marry is in. finally the plane came to a stop and Marry got out of the plane. A driver came out of the car and met Marry halfway and got her into the car. Dorothy was already in the car waiting for Marry as they have spoken over the phone "I see you look interesting?" said Marry making fun of Dorothy's dress "Don't even begin with me, madam, fly in today tomorrow fly out? The Steven company should be loaded huh?" asked Dorothy smiling. "You don't want to know baby girl" said Marry. "Well save that for later, what brought you back home girl and what is it that you want to talk to me about which is so important and cant even wait?" asked Dorothy with her legs crossed while their driver drives them to Marry's house. "I don't know what is going on anymore with our family, but I just found out that Daniel is cheating on Sophia and she isn't taking it lightly, how is he coping by the way?" asked Marry with concern in her voice. "did you just say cheating? Just when one thinks they have seen it all, Daniel so holly and devoted is cheating on Sophia? I honestly don't think that cheating bastard knows anything yet, he was there today dressed and shit, but hold on, how did she find out?" asked Dorothy with her hand on the cheek. "well, according to her, since I spoke to her for a little while between flights, she found pictures in his phone and home girl looked all of that up on WhatsApp and she finds that out" said Marry turned gossipmonger. "I feel so bad for her man, how is she holding up?" asked Dorothy. "She is not taking it properly, that's why I had to fly back, she left their marital home and is now living in my house for a little while, she needs someone to talk to and since its our good for nothing brother that did that, we can only be her best shot at comfort, I'm now starting to agree that men indeed are actually trash" said Marry pulling a face and smiling with her sister. "I don't know about your man girl but mine has been behaving lately so for a little while I am not part of the man are trash team, mine is an angel" said Dorothy laughing and crossing her legs. "You didn't tell me you got a mans, look at who is growing up" said Marry looking at her sister and laughing. "That's a story for another day, for now lets focus on our sister in-law" said Dorothy cutting the topic short from her.

@Sonja's Gallery

It has always been Sonja's long life dream to own a gallery and become a painter that actually sells and now, Sonja was all excited that she finally has a gallery to showcase her pieces and decided to check out the place while everyone went about their businesses since the morning, Sonja left the house to come have a look at her new gallery. She pulled into the parking with her red top of the range polo she got from her father as a present, due to the fact that David believed that one's affection can also be bought with money and Sonja really made this easy for her father. She got out of the car with her handbag, and locked her car then pulled the handle to ensure that it is indeed really locked. A black van pulled up next to her car as she was walking to the gallery, and due to all the excitement she has, she didn't notice the car behind her, so she opened her gallery humming an achievement celebratory song, dropping the keys first and then picking them up and finally unlocked the place. She got into the empty building and started checking the gallery out, while busy framing on the wall with her hands imagining where she will place her paintings and nodding with her head as if agreeing to the place. "Bravo little girl, I see you're setting yourself up quite nicely without settling your bills first" said Oscar standing in the doorway with a gun in its holster on his waist. Sonja was so startled and got more terrified when she saw that the person standing in the door was Oscar. "Oscar what are you doing here?" she asked leaning against the wall and checking sideways wanting to run but the whole place was just an empty hollow space. "What do you mean princess, I am a collector, and I'm here to collect obviously, wait" said Oscar and pausing looking at Sonja "you do remember our deal of two weeks ago right? I don't want to hear that you aren't ready to own up to that yet Sonja" said Oscar walking to the scared Sonja, juggling a tennis ball from one hand to the other. "Please Oscar I need more time, I promise once my gallery picks up, I will pay with interest even, I promise" said Sonja terrified and raising her hands in the air and moving a little bit away from Oscar. Oscar moved closer to Sonja and put one hand on the wall and looked down at her. "That's already a mistake princess, I've given you so many options but you keep on lying to me, and Vince will not be so happy to hear that you are still delaying" said Oscar and pulling a devious weird Smirk that sent Sonja's soul out of her body. "Please don't tell Vince, please Oscar I will pay up, he will kill me Oscar please, say, I am uhm, maybe I moved out of the country or something, you know, make up something, maybe like I was in an accident and I'm in the hospital, I will pay with interest Oscar please just listen to me" she said pressed on the wall by Oscar who is enjoying looking at her panic and making all the plans she knew he wasn't going to follow but its cute to try. "if you don't pay up, you will really end up in an accident which will kill you baby doll, but I think we can arrange something quickly, so listen carefully." Said Oscar and Sonja nodded in agreement with fear in her eyes, she kept on bravely looking at Oscar's face but immediately looks away, as there was no sign of happiness on it. "Well since I wanted you for so long Baby doll, and its only us here, why don't you make it up to me? You know, the only way a lady can make it up to a man, then maybe I will give you the extension you need on your payment, who knows, I might even decrease it for you?" asked Oscar touching Sonja seductively and putting his head on her neck then licking her neck. Out of terror and discomfort, Sonja started crying and then with her knee, she kicked Oscar so hard in the balls with all her might. Oscar was in so much pain that he fell to the ground while holding his balls and let her go and crouched. Sonja's adrenaline kicked in and it was either now or never so at the top of her speed, she ran as fast as she could for the door, but later realized it was locked when she got there. "We are playing tough now I see Sonja? You think this is a game now?" said Oscar lifting his head up and finally managed to take a stand and started walking to the door crouching to Sonja. "How about I rape you and then kill you right after, how does that sound now rich bitch? y'all rich people don't know how to appreciate favors huh" said Oscar walking to Sonja who was now full time crying and lifting hands up as an apology. "Oscar please, I am sorry, it was a reflex response, I panicked, please we can now talk Oscar please" she said with her hands extended towards her but Oscar kept on coming to her, he angrily got an arms length closer to her and she grabbed the gun from his waist and pointed to him. "Stay back or I will shoot you I swear to god Oscar I will shoot you" Said the trembling Sonja very shaking and afraid, Right now, mucus was even running down her nose, her hair was now a mess and her whole outfit was just out of order. "Sonja, don't even think of it okay, lets talk this out baby girl, just hand me the gun and we can sit and talk" said Oscar moving back with his hands raised as the tables have now turned. "I wanted to talk already but you didn't want so give me the keys to the door NOW!" she said screaming holding the gun with one hand and extending her hand out in expectations of getting her keys. "Sonja, give me the gun" said Oscar moving closer to Sonja. "I said don't move! Now throw me my god damn key now!" she shouted pacing with the gun pointed to Oscar. Oscar hesitated for a while and took out the key "okay, okay, You want this?" he said with the keys lifted up high "Fetch" he said and threw the key to Sonja but up high. Sonja lifted her head up to look at the key and Oscar ran to her then knocking her off balance, they fell down and started wresting for the gun which now was between them as they kept on rolling on top of each other, "Let go off the gun!" cried Sonja. The wrestling went on for a couple of seconds and then BANG!, two shots went off and they all lay there with eyes wide open with Sonja on top of Oscar, they all saying their prayers wondering which one of them is shot and who is it or is it both of them shot?

@D Transportation and logistics

David's head was spinning as he sat in his High and mighty CEO seat and called his butler "How can I help you sir?" asked the butler on the phone. "I need something taken care of urgently with no questions asked, did you get me the information that I have asked you to?" asked David angrily "Yes sir, I have done my research and it seems like She has landed, and by the looks of things, Ms. Dorothy seems to have accompanied Ms. Marry to her house, she flew in this morning and they must be there by now sir" said the butler confidently. David's butler wasn't only a butler but was in many cases David and Evelyn's cleaner, he was responsible for handling their dirty deeds and thus there was a need to hire an assistant butler for the family. "Good, I don't want, and matter of fact I don't have room for errors this time, I want this done, and I want it done right, I don't want this following me back" said David seated "Sir, this will have dire consequences sir and I just want to let you know that" said the butler calmly yet he knows that David is flaming furious. "I know of the consequences and we will handle that when the job is done, so get your man and give them the right address, tell them to shoot whoever they find in that house, I will send my cleaners once the job is done, it is about time I get rid of Marry once and for all, she made few millions from my son's company then all of a sudden she thinks she can ruin me. I hope this is clear I want Marry dead, no questions asked. She has so much enemies in the oil industry, they can't link me to her death" said David angrily and hung up his phone.

@Hashili Manor

Stephans was alone in his wheelchair on the balcony looking across the swimming pool for fresh air with his legs covered with a blanket as it was a little bit chilly and windy. Sunday was in the house in Stephan's room as he went to get the medication for his wheelchair bound brother when Evelyn with her fancy dress came to the same balcony Stephan was. "You should have stayed where you were young man, you and your siblings keep on making so many many mistakes, yet you're the only one paying for them Steven, how does that feel?" asked Evelyn coming from behind Stephan. "now look at you, a vegetable, you cant walk, you cant talk, people have to clean up after you and they be driving and surviving on companies you started, yet look at you, the only thing you own is a wheelchair that you cant even drive yourself" She continued and finally got up to the balcony while playing with her ring on the finger. "I and your father started this game and I thought we finished it with you but you just don't seem to die now do you? And it excites me to know that you're now in that state and cant do anything" she added standing on the side of Stephan. As the healing was taking effect, for the first time since his accident, Steven managed to turn his neck and looked at Evelyn, she froze in her steps and her breathing escalated. "Holy shit, did you just turn and look at me? Answer me!" shouted Evelyn and went to Steven's wheelchair, she checked around and made sure that no one could see them and they were all alone on the balcony and started pushing the wheelchair towards the stairs. "I see you're making quick recovery than we thought and we're alone here, lets see what happens when I throw you off the stairs, since your father cant handle the murder anymore, its about time I do it myself" she said about to push Steven off the stairs when Sunday emerges at the bottom of the stairs and froze in his steps and started running up hastily on the stairs. "What are you doing you evil woman?" asked Sunday running up the stairs, Evelyn got so scared and held on to the wheelchair, "don't you dare come any closer or your brother will go diving on the stairs" said Evelyn putting up one hand as a warning "What kind of monster are you? Haven't you guys done enough, all we want is for our brother to recover and we will leave you alone" said Sunday walking step by step but slowly. "ow, sweet, sweet Sunday, always the innocent one, does he look like he will leave this laying down when he recovers? Stephan will come for my head and I will go for his before he comes for mine" she said and pushed the wheelchair on the stairs. Sunday dived for the wheelchair and managed to turn it away from the stairs. when Evelyn ran to him and then she started fighting him, Stephan was now safe and just looking on, with only eyes blinking. They kept on wrestling at the balcony rails. Stephan was facing the other side yet he could hear the commotion. The nurse was in the house when she heard a scream from both Evelyn and Sunday from the balcony and a loud thud of someone that fell from the balcony rails and hit the ground so hard. She ran to the balcony and froze in her steps due to shock of what she saw.

@ D Transportation and logistics

Yvonne stood up from her secretarial desk and from her desk computer, switched off all the security cameras and strutting walks to David's office, David was still looking at his phone waiting anxiously to hear the phone call that his job was completed when Yvonne walked in "Come on woman, can't you see that I am not in the mood of you today? What can you possibly want this time?" asked David leaning back on his chair and holding his forehead with one hand and looking at Yvonne angrily. "Well, I am not in the mood too David, I'm here because I need a raise" she said bending at the table and looking at David who is now fuming. "What do you mean Yvonne, I just gave you a raise last week and as if that is not enough, you are the only employee here with a vacation allowance, and now you're just starting to annoy the shit out of me, you get the salary that you don't at all deserve" said David slamming his fist on the table. "I do deserve every penny I get and more so, will you give me that raise or not?" asked Yvonne taking the chair and sitting down facing David. "Get out of my office Yvonne!" said David standing up and pointing to the door. "Oh David, relax your pacemaker honey, I will get out and you want to know where I will be going?" asked Yvonne standing up and looking David right in the face with her hands placed on the table. "I am going to your house, and I am going to tell your wife all about us, you think you can just have your ways with me and then just like that you toss me away to the garbage? you wont get rid of me David, I wont let it happen" she added. David looked around for a while and couldn't find anything, out of anger, he leaped over the table and started strangling Yvonne laying on the table, he got on top of her to complete his job, his eyes were as red as fire and his veins can be seen protruding through his body with all his anger. Yvonne reached for a scissor on the desk and tried to stab David with it but he loosened one grip and hold her hand instead. They kept on rolling for the sharp scissor on top of the desk and David finally let go of Yvonne's neck and started fighting for the scissors till it ended up between them. Then in a heartbeat, deep went the scissors in the flesh, and they all lay there looking at each other, breathing heavily and mouths wide open. Tears can be seen rolling down on David's cheeks.

@Marry's(Ongwediva)

Marry, and Dorothy finally pulled up at Marry's house and got out of the chauffeur driven car and entered the house. Sophia was sitting on the sofa with her sleeping kids and just holding her head, she lifted up her head when the door finally opened. "aaw, baby I'm so sorry, this must be devastating" said Marry hugging Sophia who started crying. "I thought he loved me Marry, he acted like someone who respected me, I should have known I was playing myself" responded Sophia looking at Marry. "I don't know what to say Sophie, we all can feel your pain baby" said Marry. "Enough about the crying okay, he isn't worth it baby girl, we are here to pick you up, we are going to have a good time so you put this behind you okay?" said Dorothy standing and looking at Sophia. "Just give us time to change out of this okay? And we will call a baby sitter for your babies" Said Marry and they took to the stairs with Dorothy. Sophia was kissing her babies' fore heads and walked to the stairs still seated. A black car pulled up at the house and bust the door down and BANG,BANG,BANG three shots were fired. The man wearing masks shot people in the house and got on the call. To communicate to David to tell him that his request has been honored.
