Madam Billionaire

Amara was feeling her heart beating so fast that she thought it might burst out of her ribcage. She refused the poured malt and get the unopened minis from her stash at the bar, then give one to Peter.

This too had been discussed, no consuming food and drinks while at the residence. But none of her family knows about her stash in the back of the bar cabinet.

“Wow, where did those come from?” Cyrus asked as he walked into the lounge. Amara smiled and take out more minis from her stash.

“When I was still underage I used to sneak these from dad’s jet and hide it here, then it became customary every time I travel.”

She speaks as if wasn’t a big deal, but Matteo could see right through her. And he was also seeing glimpses of guards outside the family lounge ready to burst in and kill them all. Matteo nodded to his men and both nodded back at him telling him in silence that they saw the extra men stationed outside too.

Peter took out his phone and put in some codes as if he was lazily checking his email for appointments.

“Thank you, Peter, the camera is out. You guys have exactly ten minutes from now before they realize the feeds have been compromised. We’re on our way there.” Paolo was communicating and typing on his laptop while Leo was on the passenger seat strapping in his guns and the bullet casings.

The driver was taking them through the traffic as if they were going to a casual lunch. While in reality they have the cleaning crew in the back seat and another car was following them with more men for the actual cleanup before they set the scene as a robbery gone bad and everyone was going to be dead.

Moments later Amara move back behind Matteo and Peter moved her other side. Her stepbrothers were busy with their drinks, but violet noticed the movement and was about to call on her guards when Matteo pulled out his guns. He has one on each hand targeted at Violet and Colton, while his man pulled one gun to Clifford and the other one to Cyrus.

Matteo’s other man was already at the door closing it then looked up at the CCTV and Paolo locked them from the inside within seconds. You could hear the men trying to open the door and even shoot at the door, but the wood was thick.

“Fun fact…” Amara circled her mom and stepbrothers who were held at gunpoint.

“You’re all going to die today,” Amara said nodding to Matteo, then slowly moving back as Matteo put a bullet to Cyrus’ head.

She never saw a man gunned down, she was shocked at how easily a person could take another one’s life. Cyrus dropped to the floor with a loud thud. She should’ve stopped but her adrenaline, was rushing through like a large tidal wave and she was boiling with madness on the inside. Her revenge was as real as it gets.

“That’s for Rick.” She said coldly.

Violet screams and cried, while Colton tried to lunge at his assailant but got knocked down and made to kneel on the floor.

The shot was quick and Clifford drop next to his brother. Making Colton scream out in frustration, and Matteo was quick to put the still-hot end of his gun barrel to Colton’s forehead making Violet more hysterical.

“That’s for Antonio.” She smirked at Colton then nodded at Matteo and he joined his brothers on the floor.

“That’s for Dad.” She looked at Violet who was shaking and crying. She tried to sympathize with her loss but just couldn’t.

Not after she saw the CCTV footage and hear the audio of how they planned out the execution of her dad and Antonio. How easily they decide to end the lives of the two people she loves most.

“Matteo, hold your gun to her head and let her pull the trigger. It should be that simple for her, seeing how easy she was deciding to kill her husband.” Amara smirked while she could hear Leo and Paolo on her earpiece telling them to hurry, and that they have entered the driveway.

“Do it! Do it NOW!”

Years of pent-up emotion towards Violet, Amara finally yelled inches away from her face with her adrenaline forced voice until Violet finally screams and shot herself in the head.

Then within seconds, Violet joined her son’s dead body on the floor. Amara could only look at them and say nothing. Not until she realized that she had splattered Violet’s blood on her dress.

Peter quickly hugged her, while Matteo leaves his unmarked gun in Violet’s hand. Their death scenario would then change from robbery to a wife who had gone mad from losing her billionaire husband by killing all her three sons then committing suicide.

Then the situation went crazy, Amara couldn’t recall what happened after Leo and Paolo came to their rescue with guns blazing through the front door of her dad’s mansion. Because when the adrenaline fades, Amara fainted in Peter’s arm. 

“Peter, carry her back to the car. Matteo go! the boys will stay here with the rest of the crew.” Leo gave his instructions and Paolo was opening his laptop and set up his space while the other men work around him.

Peter looked at Paolo, but he never let anyone take his focus away from work. And at that moment he needs to quickly clean his codes and traces of his previous CCTV hacking activities so they wouldn’t get traced back to him.

The Hamiltons used a very high-end security company and he has to make sure that their feeds will stay as before, up until the guys finished their work. Then he has to erase Amara and Peter’s visit earlier from the security company’s main database.

While Peter on the other hand was irritated that Paolo didn’t even look at him and acted as if he was just another work case. He clenched his jaw and focus on Amara who was starting to regain consciousness.

They have just arrived at Matteo’s, and he hurriedly leaves Peter and Amara with his crew monitoring them from outside the house.

“Peter?”

“Hey boss, you were great earlier. Your dad and Antonio would be very proud of you.”

She seated herself back to the headboard, her eyes were quick to search for Matteo. And Peter was fast to realize that his boss had an attachment to her new bodyguard.

“Matteo said he has stuff to do before we go, apparently we are going to lay low after this incident. Leo is worried about the incident and he had arranged everything with Albert. We’ll be back here in less than a month, sooner if there’s another hot news that could overshadow the deaths of the Hamiltons.”

“Oh, Peter…” she looked at him worriedly.

“I know, the business will drop but you’re a billionaire. We will make a very big PR campaign and everything will get to normal and everyone will still have their job.”

Peter knows that her main concern was never the company’s loss of profit. But that the company might not stand the market competition and then force several branches to close and make people lose their jobs.

She smiled at him knowing they would have tremendous challenges ahead of them, and he hugged her for comfort up until Paolo showed himself announcing his arrival to take Peter back to his place.

“Go…” Amara said softly to her assistant. But Peter looked at her and sigh making her laugh knowing that he has always been about the drama.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“God, I missed this side of you… seriously go, I’ll be fine.” She hugged him one more time and showed him her phone and told him that she’d call if there is an urgent matter.

Peter eventually leaves her room after making Paolo wait for another hour pretending that he was busy with Amara. While in reality, he was talking about work that can be postponed until the next day since there was no urgent matter.

Her stomach growled when she was finally alone, then she decides to see what was for dinner since Paolo said that he had set hers and Matteo on the dining table.

That night she decided to wear her thick sweater and short shorts paired with thick fuzzy socks. After what happened that afternoon she was seeking all the comfort she could have and that includes her clothing.

She finishes her dinner and waited for Matteo while watching the late-night business news, but he still wasn’t back when she finally falls asleep on the couch with the TV on.
