The Northerner

SAYEED(4)

I almost felt bad for the poor girl when she begged me to save her,she was shaking with fear but she still has hope in her eyes, she looks at me and still See's goodness in me I can't remember the last time someone has looked to me for help before, must of the time people shy away from me but here she is rushing towards me. I am not a patient man by any means. relating with people takes too much effort and patience, which I don't have. Franky I just don't feel like making others comfortable around me I like my space so I keep to myself,people either hate me or want to be.i don't care which, I am a ruthless son of a bitch and am not afraid to show it. Some people get taken in by my handsome face they overlook the ruthless man behind the surface until it's too late. A lot of girls even try to seduce me thinking they can control me but I will not be tamed while the few smart ones try their best to stay away from me it's like they can sense the evil hiding behind my angelic face. It seems this dirty bleeding girl is one of those few smart ones as she tries to shuffle away from my hold her eyes finally registering fear but I wasn't letting go she might have accidentally fell into my arms but this is my domain everyone plays by my rules. I'll only let go when I'm good and ready not when she demands it.she keeps trying to tug her hands away but I won't allow it she'll learn soon enough that I will not be rushed.

All the men stood before me looking both shocked and scared out of their minds I know they were all expecting my father,they know I never step foot at the warehouse until the day of the auction,which is probably why they were comfortable running around chasing this slip of a girl and marking the face of the merchandise.they knew they are forbidden from bruising the girls that is what the cattle prod is for we need them to be perfect for our customers but this girl looks like she ran into a brick wall her face was bleeding and one eye has swollen shut, And while my father might have let them get away with it they knew I'll never abide by such behavior.

Nobody breaks my rules and gets away with it.I was hard on my men because I expect them to follow my rules to the letter that's probably why they hate me so much.I've heard them more than once referring to me as wancen Ba'aren (that northerner) behind my back as a dig at my buzu heritage but I never pay them any mind because I don't need them to be my friends I just need them to do the job.

"Boss when did you arrive?'' Mal Alfa caught me off guard from my thoughts, he is the general overseer of the girls. Out of all the men under me I trust him the most,which is why I can't believe he made this mistake.
"What the hell is going on here and why is the merchandise damaged" I watched her eyes go wide after I finished speaking so she has finally understood who I am. She redoubled her efforts to get away after that but I pulled her to my front and placed my other hand on her shoulder i moved close to her ear and whispered "stand still, I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to" her entire body went as rigid as a statue the minute I started speaking, she looked so scared it almost made me smile 'good girl' I whispered before I let go of her and stepped to the side, with her safely secured I turned all my attention to the men.
'mallam Alfa Kai nake jira' I said to him and just stood there waiting for him to stop fumbling and give it to me straight.he knows better than to keep me waiting
' boss am sorry about the bruising but she tried to run so we had to catch her before she could get away, we really didn't mean to hurt her! We just........
''Don't tell me you expect me to believe she got this bruises by running. Did she run into a wall? Do you take me for a fool Mal Alfa ?

He immediately started falling all over himself trying to apologize to me 'boss I will never! Who am I to call you a fool.......
" Enough" I said and he immediately quieted down.'which one of you hit her? None of them was willing to answer they all shuffled around and stared at their feet.That just pissed me off more.
''no one? Tell me now or I punish you all" They knew what the punishment will entail so they all wisely decided to confess. "it was Mahdi but it's the girls fault if she hadn't..... Bilya started saying before I stopped him.
"I don't care what the girl did, you all know better" I turned to Mal.Alfa "see to it he gets the punishment he deserves" I could clearly see Mahdi glaring at me with his owlish looking eyes but I didn't pay him any mind he has always been hot headed, I am going to deal with his impudence soon but not today, I have bigger fish to fry.
