LITTLE AMOUR; THE BILLIONAIRE’S TREASURE CHAPTER 1&2

Heavy Footsteps paddled down the stairs, followed by a slender figure.

In her left hand was a glass of red wine, while her phone was in her right hand.

As she paddled down, all heads turned to face her, as they watch her take a seat, leaning onto the sofa with Crossed legs.

“good morning tasha.” Lezi waved at her.

Natasha flash her a smile before sipping from her drink.

Katarina was quiet_ busying off with her phone.

Lezi smiled to herself before turning to face Katerina who was engrossed in her phone.

With a sigh, she diverted her glance to tasha to see her busy with her phone too.

Lezi rolled her eyes.

“guys!!” Lezi was forced to barked it out,angrily.

All heads snap up,with puzzled eyes.

“sup?” Tasha asked.

Lezi exhale and inhale.

“what’s going on with these silent treatment in getting from you guys_ you both keep acting dead to each other, aren’t we in this together?”

Tasha smiled, “ we’re! Just cooking up our next plan f…

“in silence?”

No response.

“ so what’s the next plan so far?”

“hmm, nothing yet,” Tasha said pouting.

Lezi gasped in disbelief.

“you both gotta be kidding me!!”

“sorry, work and s…..

“so I’m jobless is that what you’re saying,I’m jobless?”

“n….no!! Not like that. I….i mean I’m really kinda busy. The hand is making a comeback soon and….”

“ I’m the jobless fellow that is busy making plans! Is that it?” Lezi based,seething with rage.

Tasha suck in air,in disbelieve.

“babe….

“ Lezi,” kat called.

Lezi glare up,still raging.

“I know you have our best interest at heart,and seriously you’re a good friend, and a baddy for life, thanks you for your backing.”

Lezi’s heart swelled, she smiled, too speechless.

“Don’t worry love, you’d gat me and I’m on a very dangerous plan.”

“whats it?”

“like I said it’s a dangerous plan_ But the bad parts is that, someone has to get close to Diana again.”

Lezi Chuckled, “that’s a piece of cake, don’t worry I’m available. ”

Katarina and Tasha exchange glances.

“wow!! wow!! This is gonno be a really big shot. And I swear Diana wouldn’t see what hit her.” Kat said, menacingly.

Tasha and Lezi burst out laughing.

“bad gal!” Lezi hyped.

Kat giggled.

“but_ there’s someone that is posing as an obstacle to me.” Lezi said.

Kat and Tasha exchange surprised and curious glance.“who?” they both chorus.

“Elizabeth, Diana’s friend. That girl acts like a witch always here and there,like..” Lezi suck in air sharply, rolling her eyes annoyed.

“I wish I can just throttle her to d€@th!” Lezi added with a hiss.

Kat snorted.

Tasha snickered.

“seem like she’s an opponent.”

“she’s not worth an opponent, too fragile to take as an opponent, just a shit and she’s gone,forever.”

Kat lucked her lips. “ you want her ded baby?”

“yes, but ki||ing her suddenly will drag unnecessary attentions toward us since we have made an attempt toward her before.”

“Mhm, that sound reasonable.”

“so what’re your plans?” Tasha asked.

Lezi took in her lips,“ my brother is coming over.”

Kat paused letting her phone fall to her lap,“y..you have a brother?”

Lezi nodded,“yeah, tasha knows him. I’ve told her about my brother numerous times.”

Kat look at Tasha who nodded.“I’ll brief you on him later.”

Kat nodded. Diverting her glance back to Lezi “ so how’s him of help?”

“he will seduce her into falling in love with him.” Lezi said.

Kat and Tasha exchange glances.

“you’re sure it’ll work?”

“trust me,my brother is hard to resist.”

Kat sigh,leaning into the sofa, chuckling.

“ooh! Diana!! Didn’t I say it. You are not gonno know what hit you. Just you wait and see, I’m gonno erase you from this earth!”

“yup!! I’m so happy every thing have finally fallen into place.” Lezi said in enthusiasm.

Kat grinned. Tasha smiled before taking another long sip from her glass…..

president Penthouse.

The President’s penthouse is a sprawling Italian style estate nestled on a hilltop, surrounded by lush gardens.

The penthouse facade is a warm,Honey coloured stone, with ornate iron work and arched windows.

Towering cypress Tess lined the winding Driveway leading to a grand entrance with a fountain and a statue of a Spanish conquistador.

Inside, elude opulence and sophistication. The foyer beats a sweeping staircase, crystal Chandelier and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace.

The penthouse is a fortress with multiple layers of security including perimeter walls and gates,motion detectors and CCTV cameras.

Armed guards and patrol teams, biometric authentication and secure access control.

Maids could be seen walking in and out, with various chores.

Some of the maids were busy arranging the dinning table, which the family will use for breakfast.

The penthouse was lively with maids and guards walking up and down with one thing or the others.

The gardeners weren’t left behind,they were outside tending to the flowers……

The dining table was arranged in a neat and orderly manner, with different delicacies of meals.

From desserts to the main meal,everything was ready and savoury.

The aroma wafting out was too tempting and salivary…

As soon as the maids were done, the head of the maids an elderly woman in her early fifties walk up to them inspecting the meals on the round delicate table.

She nodded at interval,with herd stern face that never smiles.

“the arrangement is okay.” Mrs Kate said.

The maids sighed in relieve at her remark.

“what about the family,have you called them out?”

“No head maid, we’re on it.” lily said bowing slightly.

Without a smile or nod, the head maid walked away….

“aah god! My heart was almost exploding!” April said Almost falling down.

Her hands were shaking.

Lily couldn’t help the soft smiles that graced her lips.

It’s normal to feel that way when ever you’re with Mrs Kate.

That woman glares is enough to make you pee on yourself, she hardly smile, complaints frequently and harsh too.

“thats enough! You’ll heard what head lady said,let’s go call the family,please!” lily said walking away toward the stairs.

“wait for me!”April shouted, running after lily who was already gone.

Master bedroom.

Tracy stirred in her sleep, before opening her eyes. She closed her eyes immediately cuz of the rays that reflected into her room almost blinding her.

Tracy opened her eyes again, adjusting fully. A

mesmerizing Cologne hit her nostril, she turned weakly to see her husband sleeping soundly beside her.

Tracy chuckled,leaning closer as she peck his lips.

She redrew, watching his sleepy face with a smile.

with both hands under her head, she watched in marvel

“stealing a glance at your hubby whike sleeping,hmm! That’s not nice!” Mr Mateo said, with mischief glowing on his lips.

Tracy chuckled, her hands went to cupped his face.

“You can’t blame me,its not my fault that I married a handsome husband.”

Mateo chuckled, “I didn’t know I married a pervrt!” Mateo teased.

Tracy giggled,“i must confess there’s not much you’d known about me hubby,__ how sad.”

Mateo frowned,“ is that an emotional blackmail again?”

Tracy pouted, “ forget to tell you, at my school I saw a very handsome driver, hmm he was kinda cute A……”

Tracy paused,sensing her husband’s change of mood.

She’d got him where she needed him to be.

It’s not Evey time she should be feeling neglected, as some times she should show her hubby he was mistreating her. She wasn’t his mistress. She was his wife for crying out loud.

Always working.

Office here. Office there.

Files after files. reports after reports.

It’s not easy for her too to be neglected.

And the fact that she was still undergoing racist from her Hubby’s family was another headache entirely.

Mateo was almost sliding down from the bed when Tracy back hugged him.

“just joking, how come you ‘re this serious about me. Yet you neglect me every time?” Tracy asked kissing his nude back.

Mateo stir,but remained in that position.

He was already seething. Like seriously!

He wanted to know who that bastard was, who dare eye his wife.

At first he kicked against the ideal of her schooling out__ like seriously why go through all that troubles when she could be tutored at home.

By as dogged as she was,she refused almost starving herself. He loved her so much_ body and soul and wouldn’t want anything bad to happened to her.

How he fell so hard for her still today remains a misery to him, but still get he love it.

Tracy slowly let go of her Hubby, prompting him to turn facing her,“today,all of today, is mine right. You promised.”

Mateo frowned. The fact that he always claimed that he promised her things remain a misery to him.

Was he always unconscious when promising her?

She was the wrongest person to promise some thing to. Why? Cuz she never forgets..

“Today? ” Mateo frowned.

“I’m not sure about his free I am, I’ll check my schedule a….

“you promise!” Tracy said in a pout.

Mateo frowned.

“let me think about, hmm?”

Tracy rolled her eyes, “whatever!!”

Mateo grin,“i love you”

Chuckles, “I love you too.”

A knock sounded on the door.

“who?”

“ma’am, sir, it’s lily, breakfast is ready.”

“okay, a minute.”

“yes ma’am.”

Tracy turned to face her husband with a frown.

“your mom I…..

“shush! Don’t worry about her. Focus on us. Me!”

Tracy nodded,trying not to tears up.

Guards went to the booth dragging out some set of expensive looking purpled luggage to the ground.

They walked into the airport as the guards drag the luggage along.

Lissa’s jaw dropped.

She was leaving for a distant land.

Diana badly wants to cry out. She wants to badly hold her and beg her not to go.

But what can she do?

She said she needed to leave so she could find herself, who was she to stop her.

She needed self recovering, who was she to halt it?

She was happy for her as long as she was happy and finally in line with herself.

“Desmond!!” Lissa shouted, her face pink with embarrassment.“mom!”

Diana was laughing quietly from where she stood.

Desmond went ahead to help her take her flight number,and they were busy bonding and at the same time teasing each other.

This their cute dramatic fight, she was gonno miss it too.

Lissa stop in front of Diana, cupping her cheeks.

“aww!! I’m gonno kiss you guys.”

‘‘ then Don’t go!’’ Diana wanted to shout it out,but ended up screaming it in her head.

She blinked back the tears.

“I…..I’m gonno miss you too,I….

Desmond and mother,just stood at a corner watching them.
