Key to the Treasure House

Chapter 3

THE DIAZ FAMILY

Agnes Diaz Myles is the first wife, with two daughters - Hailey and Miley; whom are twin. They are the oldest of Mr Myles children with Hailey being the overall oldest.

Hailey is a cool, down to earth, sometimes crazy girl who cares alot about her mom. She is a graduate of business administration and has a fiancee. She's beautiful and hardworking.

Miley on the other and is a tomboy; some people often say she's trying to fill in the space of a male child in her mom's life. She's crazy, very stubborn, affectionate, bold, daring and courageous. She and her sister are both graduates of business administration and they both work in the family company as well.

She's single and hasn't had any love life in the past.

Beatrice Diaz Myles, is the second wife of Mr Myles. she also has two children for him - Raquel the eldest of her children and then Javier.

Raquel is also a graduate. She studied accounting. she can be described as been a goal getter, soft spoken, calm, mild, lovely, and all other good things and names one can come up with; but hey, watch out when she's angry - she can get really nasty.

Then, there's Javier - carefree, family oriented, loveable, a very sociable person, loves partying and is a confirm bad boy just like his brother Cameroon. He's also a graduate working in the family Company too

And finally, we have Isabel Diaz Myles - the third wife of Mr Myles and Cameroon's mother.

The members of the Diaz family all have a share in the family numerous companies; with Cameroon being the highest shareholder, even though it's against his wish.

His dad wouldn't have any of it, and has warned him severally about his soft side.

To him, being a man; and not just any man - a man like Cameroon Diaz Myles; the name sure says alot. A man like him is a threat to the city and there would be many predators ready to pounce on him at any and every opportunity they get.

Cameroon do replay his dads words in his head, over and over again

He kept thinking, if it's really true what his Dad said; and after much meditation and thinking, he got the answer he was looking for

Yes...it was damn true.

He's the heir to the Diaz treasure house, companies, empires, estate's and all other assets they possess. People would want to come into his life and take advantage of him. People will want to penetrate him and get close to him because of what they stand to gain

The treasure house was one of the most sought after by predators who are trying to smuggled their way through bad means to get rich

Cameroon knew so well what this means; and although, he also don't know where the key to the treasure house is - he's very sure it's not safe.

There are lots of people out there in the city looking and coming up with different ways to get the key.

He doesn't also get why his dad won't do something about the treasure hunt; but he's quite sure his dad has a reason for that

knock! knock

Cameroon heard a knock on the door. his eyes went to it immediately

He sat up immediately waiting for whosoever it is to come in

slowly, the door creeped open, and he saw his mother's head show up at the door.

" you're awake son" she beamed as she stepped into the room

" whatsup mom?" he asked, not bothering to tell her he wasn't asleep in the first place

" your dad wants to see you" Isabel said to her son as soon as she got closer to him

Cameroon arched his brows In confusion

" did he say why?" he asked, but she nodded sideways

" alright. I'll be there soon" he said dismissively

She e sighed and then got up from the bed before leaving the room.

Cameroon's Pov;

What exactly does Dad want to see me for?

Is he gonna apologize for his family unruly behavior?

Nah...I doubt that.

I took a deep breath and got up from the bed, walking to the wardrobe.

I quickly change into something simplier before leaving the room

Dad would be in his room, so I went there..I got to the door and knocked, and waited for his response before twisting the doorknob

I walked in to see him standing close to the bed. He seems to be in deep thoughts

" dad" I called as I got closer to him

He jerked up a bit as he turned round to face me

I could see the look of worry In his eyes

" you called for me" I said

" yes son" he said, taking a deep breath

" walk me to the pool" he said, and we started strolling to the poolside.

We passed the sitting room which was as quiet as a graveyard.

" how was your studies?" he asked as we walked there

" it was great dad" I replied

" so...did you make any friends?" he asked

" of course dad - tons" I said with a smile and he smiled too

We had almost gotten to the pool. It was almost nightfall

We came across several maids on our way

Finally, we got to the pool. It was so beautiful.

It ocean blue color shines even more in the nighty atmosphere.

" have a seat son" Dad instructed and I nodded before taking a seat, and soon after, he took his seat beside me

There was a brief silence

" I know you just got back and I probably shouldn't be bothering you about this, but I just feel I should let you know before hand" he started

I turned to look at his face

" you remember the treasure house?" he asked

" of course I do dad" I replied, wondering where he was heading to

" good" he said

" as you may know also - the treasure house is one of the sought after by thieves, drug Lords, assassins, top government officials and other top and dangerous people of the society you can think of"

" yes dad. I know that very well" I said

He took in a deep breath

" and I hope you know also that no one - not even my family; and that includes you, knows the whereabouts of the key to the treasure house" he asked again, to which I gave a nod to

A short silence stepped in again

" I want to make a resolution son, and am gonna make that resolution soon" he said

" what are you talking about dad?" I asked him, confusion clearly written on my face

He sighed again and placed his hand on my left shoulder

I stared deep down at his eyes, waiting for him to say what he had in mind.

I was already getting uncomfortable with the silence, when he spoke up again

" I want to give the key of the treasure house to you; and I believe it's the right thing to do since you're now back fully" he dropped

My jaws dropped in shock

whatttt???

REELERS

Master has summoned every member to the basement.

Each person was in a hurry to get there on time.

Anissa walked with Murphy and was happy they got there on time

In few minutes, the basement was filled up with every member of the syndicate

They waited patiently and eagerly for Master to come and tell them the reason for the sudden summon

Some minutes later, he walked into the gathering, with two guards by his side.

He was dressed in a black robe - as usual, and had a thick wrap of cigarette with him, with which he puffed out think smoke to the atmosphere

He proceeded to his chair and sat down; not without giving a snare stare to the gangsters in front of him

There was silence everywhere, as they waited for him to get to it.

" I know some of us already know the reason for this gathering, or probably have a hint; but I want y'all to hear it from the horses mouth and so; here I am, spelling it out for you guys" he said and paused for a while

He blew a thick cloud of smoke from his cigarette into the air and got up from his chair.

He stretched his palm to the guard at his left, and a file was placed on it

He took it and walked to the big board in front of them; it was also use as a projector for missions, plannings strategies and other things

" we have a mission - just one mission; for the next three months, and like I said before...I want it executed as soon as possible. I'm tired of hearing excuses" he said dropping his cigarette on the table

" so...this time around, we are gonna be needing a very good plan, strategy and focus. Understood?"

" Yes Master" they all chorused loudly

" good" Master said and carried on with what he was doing

He placed different pictures on the board and picked up a long stick, then looked back at them
