" You seem to be tired my love...but the sun is just getting started". Treasure Simpson was awakened by the gentle voice of her husband, who sat next to her by the side of the fluffy bed. His eyes looked at her with love, and this made her heart race. " What time is it?" she asked softly. " Time for the beach my lady", Ivan answered with a wide smile. " But first let's sort out breakfast for you. Keeping you in perfect shape is a duty I treasure dearly!" he said with a wink, placing a tray on the bed.
" You made this?", Treasure asked with a smile, sitting herself up and leaning against the pillow.
" What? Think I can't cook? Are you jealous coz am better?" Ivan replied with a smirk.
" You suprise me all the time babe" she laughed softly. Ivan opened up the curtains so the sun light could trespass in. Treasure carefully stretched and looked up at him. She was in love, a deep love. Such feelings usually struck her each time she thought about him. Ivan then sat beside her on the bed, looking at her passionately.
" What are you looking at" Treasure asked, feeling some what shy. Ivan drew closer to her and held out his hand to her cheek. He then leaned forward and kissed her, then smiled.
" You're acting weird love, what's up? What's wrong?" she asked, holding his hand firmly to her laps.
" I just pray that this stays for ever....I never want to lose you babe!" he spoke softly. A tear dropped out of her eye on hearing this. This sent her heart racing. She looked at him and pressed his hand.
" Of course this is going to be forever...and am not going anywhere... never!" she replied. " Now quite making me cry love... let me have this breakfast okay?". Ivan laughed softly and then nodded. The two devoured their morning meal peacefully and quietly. No one said a word to the other, only their eyes and hearts spoke. Suddenly, Ivan received a call. He hesitated to pick it up but then Treasure held it and gave it to him with a smile.
" It's okay, take it." she said with a gentle smile. Ivan looked at her for a while, then declined the call.
" Hey...babe...why did you do that? Could be urgent," she protested softly with a gentle smile.
" If it's urgent, it'll still wait. I have to concentrate on the two meals here" he said, fetching some food on the spoon and feeding it to her. On the contrary, Treasure actually felt happy that Ivan was willing to do everything just for her happiness. She didn't want to show it to him.
" I remember something like this... it's a beautiful memory," Ivan spoke up, gently wiping her lips. His tone was soothing in her ears. She could also recall the same moment, years ago at a balcony, they had sat together and Ivan fed her. Ivan pinched her right cheek and they got back to the meal. After the breakfast, Treasure got herself ready as Ivan stood in the garage, trying to get the car for the trip. They were rich. Ivan's past as a gangster had earned him a lot of wealth. He had retired from the syndicates so he could settle with the one he loved. At a young age, he was already wealthy enough to support multitudes. Treasure on the other hand, was also rich. Her family background and personal financial performance put her among the top
rich young ladies in the country. However, Treasure turned out to be celebrity that everyone loved while Ivan stayed low-key, as always. Treasure came out, beautifully dressed in an all white attire. A short sleeve top and shorts that brought out her curvy and perfect figure. Ivan looked at her in amusement.
" What?" Treasure smiled shyly.
" You're looking great babe!" Ivan complemented. He walked over to her and passionately kissed her on the lips.
"What car do you want us to take?" he asked. Treasure walked around the garage, looking at all the cars and looking for a choice to make. She then saw the sports car at the end of the garage. It looked isolated and this sort of made her curious. So she went to it and sat , then looked at Ivan and spoke.
" This one..... we'll take this one!"
Ivan starred at her, then smiled and nodded. " Am driving!" he added, heading over to her. The two got in and drove to the large gate, then out and away.
Back in Cairo, Egypt, in a large commercial building, a company meeting was being held. The meeting involved different business Arab personalities from U.A.E and other African business men. The chairperson of the meeting was non other than Sia Rowland. She had acquired shares in the Arabic oil company named Al Fatij oil Company.
" This is our first commercial sitting, hope everything goes as planned." she urged the other members.
" We've all heard of your reputation in Africa Miss Rowland. It'll be a pleasure executing deals with you. However..." one of the Arabs named Abdul Rajib spoke up.
" However...." Sia quoted, looking at him anticipatingly.
" We have also heard that you are part of an international crime syndicate" Abdul added.
" Where did you hear this from?" Sia asked.
" Well.....we are a group of people who get involved in affairs that may concern our company welfare. If this is true, Miss Rowland, you will have to take a cautious act!" he informed her.
" And that would be?" Sia asked again, sipping water.
" You have to sign a monetary deed. This will be that incase you're caught up in the criminal acts, your deal with the company shall seize to exist. In addition, you'll also pay a fee as it'll be agreed upon with the board." he explained. Sia kept quiet for a while, the she let out a smirk. She picked out a cigarette from her coat pockets and lit it. She puffed once then blew it up and sighed.
" Huhhh... okay. What's the point though? Caught or not caught... what's the difference. I still remain your biggest share holder. No one's going to be willing to invest $2 billion in your crap." she said, standing up from her seat and walking to the window. She looked out into the city and smoked again, then spoke up, " If you have what you want in life, you have to get it. Doesn't matter if it's through good or bad means. And now, I'll be chasing after what I want!" she exclaimed.
" So what do you want?" Abdul asked . She looked at her reflection on the glass window, then smiled. " You'll see!"
