Setting Good example

Tara woke up in the middle of the night to find Lakan sleeping next to her. She wonders why she was in his room again.

"Is it possible I got drunk again? She asked herself as she dragged herself to her feet. The events of the night began to come slowly back to her.

She remembered first having a meeting with her group of ten. It was her first ever meeting so she was nervous. She didn't even know what to say. Sarah had told her to keep it short and simple, probably just make introductions and tell them a little about what she was going to achieve. It was a round table meeting. The basement of the house was designed that way in case Lakan needed to go also speak to his men.

That was the plan she made that night but things begin to go the other way when some of the men began to disrespect her during her speech. She had told Terry Blade that he was someone she would not like to use at all but she just had to keep him against her wish making him chuckle.

" what's so funny? Tara had asked angrily as she was already observing that some of them were not taking her seriously.

"Nothing ma'am, j just feel if you don't have the stomach for killings you shouldn't hire me. It would bore me" Terry had replied.

His reply took everyone by complete surprise as no one expected he would say that to her. Tara was offended as she felt he was making fun of her although he was saying the truth that she didn't have the stomach for it

"You should apologize immediately she is your new boss" Sarah spoke out pointing to Terry with a furious look on her face. Her words didn't seem to have an effect as Terry didn't say a word. He just looked the other way while whistling.

"I don't think you realize who she is.....

" I don't care, I just don't want to be bored. I am a hitman for a reason " Terry blurted cutting Sarah off before she could complete her statement.

"You should listen to her " Tara heard a voice say from behind them as all heads turned to see who was speaking.

Tara was shocked to see Lakan come into the gathering with only Bishop by his side. He had an evil look on his face that suggested to Tara that must be up to something else.

Everyone stood up immediately after they saw Lakan. They could barely raise their heads. Tara could see that they feared him down to their bones. It was a kind of aura that she wished she possessed at this meeting. She wondered why he had come to the meeting when she didn't even invite him. She knew there was no way that meeting was going to hold without him knowing it but she wasn't expecting to see him.

There was complete silence as she watched Lakan scan every single member of his team with his eyes. It was said he was trying to detect something else as he did with the video.

"You should apologize to my wife immediately" he spoke out in a cold voice looking at Terry with an intense look on his face.

"I...am... sorry... ma'am Terry stammered with a shaky voice his sudden transformation coming as a surprise to Tara. This was the same man who some few minutes ago was disrespecting her now he was apologizing with a sorry look on his words.

" Your being sorry is not enough. What you were doing is setting a bad example before others on how they should treat my wife and I wouldn't have that"

Just as he was speaking Tara couldn't help but admire him. She liked the way he was standing up for her. Since she came to the house had been nothing but good go here. Right now she could only thank him in her heart.

"Your sorry is not enough. I want this to serve as a warning to the rest of you, you should never disrespect my wife " Lakan added. As he was saying those words Bishop walked up behind Terry and dragged him by the collar of his shirt. He tried to resist but he was no match for Bishop who was well-armed and had locked his hands behind him.

"Just take him out" Lakan ordered as he barely looked at Tara all through since he came. Tara had a feeling he was trying not to show it too much that he cared about her by displaying no emotion toward her

So it was with that incident in her head that she came to his room that night to thank him. It was the least she figured she could do for him since he treating her better now but then she was still very suspicious of him.

"You don't need to thank me, I am only performing my duties to you as your husband " he replied waving her words of appreciation.

"Yet I still need to thank you. I feel indebted to you for all you have done. You saved my life on our wedding day, you saved me from further embarrassing myself and now you saved my face today in front of my men. You have done a lot and I am grateful " Tara insisted. Thinking about everything he had done so far made her feel she could trust him but she was not willing to let go yet.

" if you want to thank me then you should do me a favor" Lakan requested with a smile playing across his face.

"Anything " Tara replied without thinking.

"You should stay in this room tonight. Just sleep beside me" Lakan requested

Tara didn't expect that he would ask for something like that. The Lakan she knew before would not have even agreed to her having a separate room not to talk of him asking for her nicely to sleep beside him when she was his wife.

Without having to think too much she decided to oblige and spend the night with him.
