Return of the Tycoon

CHAPTER NINE

"Sorry, I was in a meeting yesterday evening, that is why I refused picking up your calls".

This was the SMS message Lisa woke up to, the next morning. She felt ecstatic, because it was Pedro, who had sent her that text message. To Lisa, it  only meant that, there was a very high possibility that, he will take her back as his wife. 

"I know how hard you work, my handsome Pedro. I just want the opportunity to explain myself and why I opted for a divorce. I only beg, you give me the opportunity to explain myself, my love, and then you will see that, I truly love you and didn't mean to treat you badly".

She quickly sent him in an SMS, to his phone as well. 

It wasn't up to a minute she sent the text message to Pedro, then her message notification sound came up. She quickly checked her phone to see if it was Pedro who had sent in a message. 

"1PM. Meet me at my place. Don't worry, it is very easy to locate. Just tell the cab driver, The Del Monte estate. It is quiet popula, and he will bring you right here"

He replied through another SMS.

She was so happy, thinking he still loved her so much, and how she has been able to win back his heart. 

"I'm going to make him fall for me again. Ohhhh, my wealthy Pedro, mummy's coming". 

she thought to herself, as she was going through her dresses in her wardrobe, so she could select the one to wear over to Pedro's place. 

"I think, to solidify my chances of getting back with him, I should take my sister, Sarah and my auntie, Josephine with me. Before we get there, I will tell them how to act. They have to look so sorry and ask for Pedro's forgiveness, for manipulating me, Lisa and made me divorce him."

She was still crafting up more gimmicks, just to get back into the life of Pedro, because she had found out that he wasn't a pauper after all. She quickly called her aunt and sister to come down to her house, so they plan their act together and perfect it before leaving for Pedro's place. 

Later, there was a knock on the door. Lisa rushed down to go open the door, for she knew it was her sister and aunt, because she has been expecting them.

"Darling, what was that you told me over the phone? That our Pedro poodle is a billionaire? Wooo. Don't worry about me honey, I have perfected my act already. It's going to be the state of the art performance. For such money and I will gladly play any role you want me to, Darling" 

her aunt, Josephine said to her, as they made their way into the sitting room and sat down to continue their discussion. 

"Yes, aunt. My Pedro is filthy rich. So, you better get your act right, auntie. Except you do not want that Mercedes Benz of yours and that house you so much like".

she said to her auntie. 

"Sarah remember, you were so hard on me, so much that I broke, because as my elder sister it was easy to convince me to divorce him. Then you go on your knees and beg him, asking for his forgiveness. Lastly, don't forget to cry, while doing this".

Lisa talking to her elder sister, Sarah.

"I will not fail you my sister. We are going to celebrate our victory at the end of the day. I'm certain of it".

It was time alas. They made their way to the junction, boarded a cab and went straight to The Del Monte estate. On arrival, there was Roseline, waiting at the front porch, for Lisa. She was told about their arrival, by her master. 

"Hey dear, I am sorry for the way I acted towards you, the few times we met. I am not usually like that".

Lisa said to Roseline, as she stepped out of the cab. 

Sarah was surprised to see a limousine, she tried to hold her excitement, but couldn't for long. 

"Auntie, look right there, it is a freaking limousine. I wonder what the inside looks like".

Sarah said to Josephine.

"Please, go straight in, he is expecting you"

said Roseline, to them.

"Come in come in"

It was the voice of Pedro.

Immediately, Lisa went on her knees and started begging him,

"I'm sorry my love. I was deceived by my aunt and sister". 

She had already started tearing up.

"They even followed me to come beg you for your forgiveness, for making your beautiful wife divorce you" 

she said to Pedro, while kneeling and crying 

"Yes, it's true Pedro. I personally pressured my si..."

Sarah was trying to apologize but got distracted by Pedro. He had given her a seductive wink, while she was looking at him, and apologizing. She giggled softly because, he winked at her. She slightly bowed her head down and raised her eyes to look at Pedro again, forgetting the mission, they came for. 

"You are all forgiven. I hold nothing against any of you. Please, Lisa, get up". 

So, they all sat down, had discussions of different things. Through out their conversations, Pedro kept winking at Sarah, making sure Lisa and their auntie, Josephine, didn't notice whenever he did it. Sarah herself, will steal glances at him and kept giggling softly. 

Pedro knew, it was a family of loosed females, and it wouldn't take much to woo Sarah, especially now that she knows that he is a wealthy man and not a pauper, as they initially thought.

"Pedro baby, sooooo, I was thinking of annulling our divorce agreement. I can get Alice on the phone right away, if you like" 

Lisa said to Pedro. 

Hoping to cajole him into making her his wife again, so she can move into The Del Monte mansion.

"We can do that later on babe. Let's just enjoy each other's company, at the main time". 

he said to her, as they were all enjoying the conversations. 

"Oh, look at the time, I have to go, having a meeting by 5PM" 

Pedro said. 

"Look at you. Mr. President, all important and all"

Lisa said to Pedro, teasingly. 

"Ok babe. We are going to leave now, but I will be back here tomorrow, alone, to spend some quality time with my husband" 

She said. Already thinking herself his wife again. 

"You can ditch your sister and auntie later, after you leave, and come over tonight. I think, I like you better than your sister, Lisa. Maybe you should be my wife even. What do you think"

Pedro sent Sarah a text message while they were all sitted right there and having a laugh. Neither did their aunt nor Lisa even notice the way Pedro and Sarah were staring at each other, almost the whole time. Pedro knew they were materialistic driven ladies. He knew he could get Sarah cheaply. She seeing that he was loaded, will easily fall prey. His revenge plan was put in motion already.

"Ok Peddy. I will see you later tonight, by 9PM. Can't wait to get rammed by you" 

Sarah replied Pedro's text message, already nicknamed him "Peddy".

He read it immediately it came in. Then looked at her, from where he sat. They had been communicating with their eyes all along. 

"Okay guys. Thanks for coming" 

Pedro said, as he escorted them to the front porch. A cab was already parked outside waiting to take them home. They got in the car, waved Pedro goodbye and off they went.

Pedro turned back immediately, with his hands crossed behind his back, walked back into the house. 

"Is the room ready?" 

He asked Roseline.

"Yes, master"

"Good. How about the cameras? Have they been installed?" 

He asked

"Yes, master. We are set for tonight" 

Roseline said.

"And how about the prey, did she take the bait?"

she asked her master, Pedro

"Like fish is to worm. She sure did. We are going to have a blockbuster movie, made tonight". 

They both laughed sinisterly, as they went into the house.
