“I can go this way.” Jordan replied.
“He is coming with us.” Richærd tells Caleb.
“Alright no problem, let’s go.” Caleb said and they left. They went with Richærd SUV Jeep, Jordan was the driver.
On the other hand, Betty was walking home, she was close to her house when a message entered her phone from same unknown number, she opened the message and it reads (“come to this address below if you want to see your mother.”) She ran backward and boarded a taxi, since she doesn’t has a car. She didn’t know that it was the same place Richærd, Caleb and Jordan were going, she didn’t even know that Richærd still left his house, she was fast enough to get there before them. She pulled out from the taxi and paid the driver, she walked gently into a building that was burnted, she looked around and nobody was there.
“You are Betty Lee right?” A voice said from behind, she turned instantly.
“Yes, where is my mum and Richærd’s mum?” She asked. The guy that was standing before her laughed.
“Bring them here.” He said and Mrs Marsha and Mrs Antonia were dragged out.
“Betty!” Her mother called.
“Betty Lee!” Mrs Marsha also called.
“Let them go.” She said.
“Betty, what are you doing here?” Her mother asked.
“I came to take you guys.” She replied.
“Liar! Your daughter paid us 5,000 dollars to kidnapped you and Richærd’s mother.” The guy said that was when Mrs Antonia knew that the woman with her was the mother to the guy her daughter is in love with.
“What? Betty!” Mrs Marsha called
“That’s a lie.” Betty said defending herself, her mother couldn’t say anything because she was too shocked to say a word.
“She asked us to kill you, her mother and Richærd who is on his way here because of your late husband wealth.” The guy said just then Richærd, Caleb, Jordan and police people came in.
“Betty!!” Her mother called as Betty turned back, one of the police woman shot her as she was trying to run and the bullet meet her on her hand and she jumped out from the window, the police woman pursued her, she kept running with her hand that was bleeding, she jumped some stuffs till she ran out of the police woman’s sight.
Meanwhile the guy and his boys were handcuffed.
“He is also among, he and Betty sent us.” The guy said pointing at Jordan.
“What? Jordan!?” Richærd called in shocked as he turned to Jordan.
“I didn’t do anything.” Jordan said defending himself but Richærd didn’t listen to him because Caleb has poisoned his mind, Jordan was handcuffed and was taken alongside with the guys.
Mrs Marsha, Richærd and Caleb went home leaving only Mrs Antonia who find her way home crying like a baby.
Two days later, Jordan was released after some investigation and they found out that he was innocent but they never knew it was Caleb and his father’s plan and also police were still looking for Betty because they checked her name in computer, they found out that Betty has Killed before in Brazil and also in England, therefore she is wanted. Jordan went back to Richærd’s house but unfortunately he was sacked simply because Richærd uncle (Mr Benjamin) told him not to allow Jordan work for again because it dangerous and Jordan might kill him so Richærd did as instructed by his uncle.
Jordan went to his own house and called Carla to know if Betty was with her and he was told that Betty was with Olivia. Jordan called Mr Bruno’s driver, Liam, to his house.
