"Everyone leave, except Sabawi and Wattban."
As the two men left the office, Uday's face was so dark with fury that he couldn't be bothered to exchange a couple of words with his own brother. Returning to his office and locking the door, he secluded himself in the inner room, took out a poster from a crack, and unfolded it to reveal a portrait of Saddam.
The poster was already riddled with holes.
"Father! Why don't you give me a chance? Why!"
Why!
Why don't you trust me?!!
Why is everything given to my brother!!
He stabbed Saddam's portrait furiously with a knife, venting his rage.
The impulse to patricide grew stronger in his heart.
Kill Saddam!
I shall be king!
...
"Barzan's dead?"
Victor was taken aback upon hearing the news.
