Sacrifice Of Love – Episode 8

Caleb drove home and angrily went into his room without talking to his father even when his dad was calling him, he refused to answer. He entered his room and collapse on the bed. (“What the f-ck!! I can’t believe what Betty said to my face!! She must pay for this!”) He said aloud angrily and stood up from the bed and was pacing up and down when his door opened and his dad came in.
“Caleb, what is wrong with you?” His dad asked as he walked fully into the room, Caleb didn’t answer him, he kept walking around.
“Son talk to me, what is the matter with you?” His dad asked again.
“Betty! That daughter of a nobody dares me.” He said angrily.
“What did she do?” His dad asked.
“Betty told me to my face that she will not kill Richærd as we agreed and the worst part is that she is already in love with him.” He said.
“What? Then we must kill the both them.” His father said.
“No dad, you know we can’t kill Betty, whoever that kill Betty is in trouble.” He said.
“Then what do we do?” His dad asked.
“I don’t know I can’t even think straight, am confused.” He said.
“Ok, let’s call Jackie to come over she might has an idea, what do you think?” His dad asked.
“You are right, let me call her.” He said and took his phone from the bed and called Jackie, she picks instantly.
“Sup honey.” Jackie asked.
“Am not fine, can you come over?” He asked.
“What happened?” Jackie asked.
“Please just come over.” He said.
“Ok, am coming.” Jackie said and end the call.
“What did she said.?” His dad asked
“She said she is coming.” He replied.
“Ok, I will be in my room, just calm down and wait for her and whatever she says when she comes let me know.* His dad said as he walked to the door while Caleb nod without saying anything and his father left.
55 minutes later, Jackie knocked on Caleb’s door.
“Yea come in.” He said from the bed wearing only boxer, no shirt , and Jackie entered, seeing him with no shirt she began to feel him.
“Looking s€×y without shirt.” She said smiling and bitting her lower lip as she sat on the bed.
“That’s not the reason I called you.” He said sitting up on the bed.
“So why did you call me, the look on your face says something is wrong, what it’s?” She asked.
“It Betty.” She said.
“What did she do?” She asked.
“She told me directly to my face that she will not kill Richærd and that she is going to protect him.” He explained.
“F-ck off!! What the hell are you talking about!?” She asked almost yelling.
“I am damn serious.” He said.
“So what do you suggest we do?” She asked.
“That’s why I called you, I don’t know what to say, think or do.” He said sadly.
“We need to do something because Richærd needs to die.” She said.
“So what do you think we should do?” He asked.
“I can remember you told me that one of Richærd’s female friends name by Dina is in love with Richærd but she is not happy because Betty is always around him. I think we should use that girl and Liam Mr Bruno’s driver, what do you think?” She asked.
“That’s a good idea but how do we go about it?” He asked.
“First try to convince them to understand our game, I will personally talk to Dina while you talk to Liam after that we will send some of our boys to kidnap Richærd’s mum and Betty’s mum and tell them to tell Richærd that his love Betty is the one that send them to kidnap his mum because she wants his father wealth. Them we will tell Dina to decieve Richærd that she wants to show him something or take him to a save place meanwhile Liam will be the one to drive, on their way, Richærd will be adopted and bought this us in our usual place then he will be kill and Dina will be the one to shoot him or even stappes him after which we will call the police on her she will be arrested alongside with Liam, Betty and Jordan.” She said.
“Hmm, nice idea but how do we kidnap Richærd when Jordan is all over him?” He asked.
“Leave that to me, I will handle it.” She said .
“Master planner, this is why I always talk about you, come here let’s merry over our victory.” He said smiling.
“Hmm, it seems you know what I want.” She said as she claims the bed and they engaged in a passionate k-ss as Caleb give her the rom-nce of her life.

Meanwhile, Betty took her phone and called Jordan.
“Sup Betty?” He asked as soon as he picks the call.
“Can we see tomorrow?” She asked.
“Hope no problem?” He asked.
“I think there will be problem if we don’t handle it now.” She said.
“Ok, at what time do you want us to see?” He asked.
“After work.” She replied.
“Ok, I will informed the others.” He said.
“Alright bye.” She said.
“By good night.” He said and she end the call.

They all listen to Betty and conversation and the file was transferred immediately into their own devices.
“Hmm this is serious, what do we do?” Olivia asked. Everyone was slient looking at each other.
“We need to act fast before Caleb strikes.” Betty said.
“You are right but what do we do?” Carla asked.
“I will go to Richærd’s house and tell him to leave this town with his mother for the main time, Jordan you will prepare their flight ticket while I face Caleb and his father even if I die I don’t care.” She said and stood up.
“See you guys later or even Tomorrow.” She said and left. The others layer discussed on what to do to assist Betty because she can’t fight Jackie, Caleb and his father alone. Betty got to Richærd’s house and met Mrs Marsha who she already knows that is Richærd’s mother, she was going out.
