Two days later, barista Daniel c@m£ to Richa-rd father’s house and was re-ady to re-ad late Mr Bruno’s will… Mr Benjamin, Caleb, Mrs Marsha, Jordan and Richa-rd were sorted waiting patiently to hear the will.

“Come on Jordan, u can’t be angry with you ok?! Just say what you have to say, am all ears.” He said.
“Ok, actually it about what barista Daniel said and also your consin Caleb.” Jordan said.
“And what about them?” He asked.
“Boss, when Barista Daniel re-ad the p@rt of the will that says (Nob©dy should drag anything with my son) your consin and his father’s expression changed, if you noticed when barista Daniel finished re-ading the will, they were not with theirselves.” Jordan said.
“So what are you trying to say?” He asked.
“What am trying to say is that you should becareful of Caleb and his father.” Jordan said.

“Exactly, you see Jordan, Caleb and Richa-rd grew up together and Mr Benjamin has be good to us especially after the death of my husband so plea-se take off that bad expression from you ok? They are good people and the only family we have.” Mrs Marsha said
“Okay, i guess it just my imagination.” Jordan said….. Just then Richa-rd female friends c@m£ in, they were all looking h0t and S-xy.
“See who we have here.” Richa-rd said smiling.
“The boss himself.” Pat said.
“The only prince charming in this country.” Carla added
“You know we love you right?” Olivia asked.
“The h0ttest dude in the whole of this England, cuter than prince Albert.” Silvia also said.
“The only young man that has blue eyes that sparks even at night, the man every woman dream of.” Dina said ro-mantically. Richa-rd covered his face with his hand because he was shy.
“You girls are flattering me, i swear am blu-shing.” He said shyly
“He is blu-shing for us, plea-se blus-h.” Dina said and they all laughed.
“Son, i Will be in my room.” Mrs Marsha said standing up.
“Alright mum.” Richa-rd replied while his mum left.
“So tell me, what do i offer you girls?” He asked still shy.
“Anything.” They all said in union.
“Okay, plea-se Jordan help us with a bottle of wine and glas-ses and also tell Amelia to prepare roasted chicken for us.” He said.
“Ok boss.” Jordan replied and left while Richa-rd turned to the girls.
Meanwhile, Betty was pla-ying video game at the living room when her phone start ringing, she angrily took her phone and starred at the screen (CALEB BENJAMIN) was boldly written on it. (“What the hell does he want from me?”) She thought and picked the call.
“Yes what?” She asked
“Is that a way of saying good evening?” Caleb asked from the other side of the phone.
“Oh plea-se Caleb don’t start, just tell me why you call!” She half yelled.
“I know you are mannerless, anyway, i call You to tell you that my consin wants to meet you in person, i have told him about you so get dressed am coming to pick you.” He said.
“Is that all?” She asked
“Yes, i Will be there in 30 minutes time.” He said.
“Whatever!” She replied.
“fv¢k you there!” He said and end the call.
(“Why do i suddenly hate Caleb? My spirit didn’t accept this stuff of killing his consin, why do he wants his own consin dead? Should i go or not? I don’t even know this Richa-rd of a guy, anyway let me go and see this dude they are talking about.”) She thought aloud but didn’t know it was loud.
“Who wants who dead?” Mrs Antonia asked as she walked fully into the living room.
“Mum, what are you talking about?” She asked standing up from the floor.
“Betty, i over heard you talking about killing someone, who is that?” Her mum asked.
“Mum plea-se i was just imagining something.” She said and start walking away.
“Betty, i Hope you haven’t start following bad gangs again?” Her mum asked.
“Mum, i Don’t know what you are talking about.” She said and walked into her room.
“Alright oh continue.” Her mum said and sat down on the couch.
30 minutes later, Caleb tested Betty a message saying he was alre-ady at their gate. Betty c@m£ out of her room looking beautiful as always and innocent, she wore pink go-wn that reached her knee, white high heels, white small handbag and pinkl-ips glossy ma-king it to match. She brushed her blonde hair straight which makes her look more beautiful, her mum was surprised to see her dressed that way because she knows her daughter will never dressed like a girl, she always dressed like a man.
“Betty, where are you going dressed like this?” She asked.
“Going on a d@t£.” Betty replied and smiled.
“Hmm, ok but don’t cause trouble there plea-se.” Her mum said
“Mum! Are you in any way calling me a trouble maker?” She asked frowning her face.
“Betty, i know you very well, you are my daughter and i know what you are capable of doing.” Her mum said.
“Anyway, i won’t cause any problem.” Betty Said.
“Alright, be a good girl and come back home an time.” Her mum said.
“I will.” Betty replied and left.
Betty walked straight to Caleb’s car, he was surprised when he saw her, she opened the front door and entered.
“Let’s go.” She said but Caleb was just looking at her like he saw a ghost.
“Why are you looking at me like that or are you now deaf?” She asked.
“I guess so, you look so beautiful i must confess, hope you are not going there to s£dûç£my consin?” Caleb asked.
“Which consin? It’s the one you want dead or another one?” She asked.
“Meaning what?” Caleb asked too.
“plea-se let’s go before i changed my mind.” She said.
“Did i just hear you say before you change your mind?” Caleb asked.
“Are we going or you want me to get down from this car of yours?!” Betty said alre-ady getting angry and her voice was changing. Caleb starred at her without saying anything he start the car and drove off.
An hour and 45 minutes later, they got to Richa-rd ‘s house, Caleb drove into the compound and they pu-ll-ed out, they went inside the living room, they met Richa-rd and his female friends eating chicken and drinking wine.
“Here comes my one and only consin.” Richa-rd said standing up from the couch and hvgged Caleb.
(“See how freely this dude is to Caleb, if only he knows that Caleb wants him dead he would stay far away from him.”) Betty thought within herself as her eyes cought with Richa-rd ‘s eyes and they both smiled.
EPISODE FIVE
“Hey girls,” Caleb said waving his hands to the girls as he dis£ngages from Richa-rd .
“Hi, Caleb.” The girls said ap@rt from Carla who never liked Caleb for any reason.
Caleb turned to Betty who was just lost starring at the beautiful living room.
“Hey.” He said tapping her on her shoulder. Betty quic-kly turned to him and smiled as if nothing is gonna happen.
“Meet my one and only cousin, Richa-rd Bruno, the son of a billionaire and the h0ttest guy in town,” Caleb said pointing at Richa-rd while Betty stretches her hand for a handshake and Richa-rd took it immediately.
“Am Beauty Lee but you can call me Betty for short and am from br@zil.” She said.
“Nice to meet you, Betty Lee, I must sit you look beautiful,” Richa-rd said.
“Thank you and you’re not looking bad either.” She said.
“Thanks for the compliment,” Richa-rd said and they re-leased their hands from each other.
“She is your new as-sistant manager,” Caleb said.
“Yeah, she looks good,” Richa-rd whispered to Caleb
“Don’t tell me you liked her alre-ady,” Caleb said in a very low tone.
“Oh come on, far from that,” Richa-rd replied and they laughed. They all sat down drinking and gisting, Richa-rd introduces Betty to his friends but Betty mind wasn’t there, she was thinking about the name “Bruno” because it sounds familiar. She was still busy thinking when Jordan c@m£ in, she was shocked to see Jordan likewise Jordan was shocked to see her too. She remembered the night she saw Jordan and an elderly man in a car that had an accident, she remembered everything that happened, how she called an ambulance that c@m£ to carry them to the hospital. Jordan too remembered her face, they were both staring at each other.
“Jordan, are you okay?” Richa-rd asked.
“Yes, I Will be upstairs.” He said and left. Richa-rd didn’t say anything, he just starred at Jordan and turned to Caleb and the others. They discussed and Richa-rd told Betty to start work on Monday, Caleb was happy because he thought they were close to their mission only if he knew what was in Betty’s mind. Caleb and Betty left Richa-rd ‘s house and he drove her home, they got to her gate, he st©pped and Betty was about stepping down when he held her hands.
“What’s that for?” Betty asked.
“You know you look beautiful tonight, do you mind having a one-night standard with me?” Caleb asked still holding her hands.
“Are you mad? How dare you utter such word to me? Do I look like a slut to you?” Betty asked angrily re-leasing her hand from Caleb’s hand
” Are you not a street girl?” Caleb asked.
“And so what? Now listen and listen very good, I am not Jackie that opens her legs for you anyhow, don’t ever repeat this again else you will regret it.” Betty said and c@m£ out of the car while Caleb c@m£ out too and stand in front of her pointing his gun at her.
“Don’t you ever walked out on me, do you know I can kill you right now?” He asked still pointing the gun at her.
“Take this toy of yours off my face! You are just learning how to use a gun if you think am Jackie or your innocent cousin….. Don’t make me talk this night.” She said and walked past him.
“fv¢k you!” He said confusedly.
“When you are done standing there, you will take your fv¢king as-s back to your dead father’s house ru-bbish.” She said and walked inside.
Caleb stood there staring into space. (“How the hell did she knows am slee-ping with Jackie? Damn!! Betty is too smart but I Will tell her that am smarter than her.”) He thought and bought out his phone from his pocket, he dialled Jackie number and she picked almost immediately.
“Hey, sup?” Jackie asked from the other side of the phone
“Where are you?” He asked.
“Am at home, what’s happening? Your voice is not bright.” Jackie asked.
“Meet me at our usual place, I Will be there in 20 minutes.” He said and end the call, he didn’t allow Jackie to say anything. He went into his car and drove off, Betty who was watching him from the window, rushed into her room and got dressed. She wore black jeans trou-ser, black sweater, black shoes and a long black jacket that pas-s her knee, she used the jacket cap to cover her hair. She c@m£ out of her room to hold black eyeglas-ses.
“And where are you going dressed in black?” Her mum asked.
“I will be right back.” She replied and rushed out, she boarded a taxi and went to the h0tel, she got there before Jackie and Caleb. A few minutes later, Caleb entered followed by Jackie, she smiled to herself as she watched them walked into Caleb’s pri-vate room, she gently followed them and stood behind the door and nob©dy logged there so it was very quiet.
“So why did you invite me over this night?” Jackie asked as soon as they settle down.
“That bit-ch calls Betty, she knows we are d@t!ng,” Caleb said.
“How did she find out or did you tell her?” Jackie asked.
“I should be asking you that question,” Caleb said.
“Hmm, so what do we do now?” Jackie asked.
“I don’t know, I am scared that this girl might expo-se us,” Caleb said.
“No, she won’t try such, on second thought… Don’t you think we should just kill her and use someone else as one of Richa-rd ‘s female friends to kill him?” Jackie asked.
“That won’t be a good idea, we can’t kill Betty by gun or poison,” Caleb said.
“Why?” Jackie asked.
” If we poison her, she will be taken to the hospital and her b©dy will be examined and the police will find out that she was poisoned, the same thing will still happen if we kill her with a gun and you know what that means,” Caleb said.
“Hmm, so what do you suggest we do?” Jackie asked
“I don’t know, can’t think straight right now,” Caleb said.
“Oh, I Think I have an idea.” She said happily.
” What’s the ideal?” He asked.
“You know Betty has Killed someone before in br@zil, she has committed crimes and she is wanted?” She asked
“Yea I’m know all that.” He said.
“Let’s use that against her, Frist, you will go to her house and apologies to her for whatever you have done to her then you will convince her to carry out the as-signment of killing Richa-rd . On the day she is going to kill Richa-rd , you will set a c@m£ra in the place and make sure she killed Richa-rd by herself with either a gun or a knife then you call the police for her as you know, her name and pictures are alre-ady in the police system and that will make them s£nd her to jail.” Jackie said.
“Wow! Brilliant Idea ever, this is super cool I love you so much.” Caleb said excitedly.
Betty who had to listen and record everything Jackie and Caleb said quietly walked out, she got the reception and walk past the receptionist.
“Excuse me, who are you?” One of the receptionist asked her but she didn’t answer, she just walk out as fast as she could.
“Security.” The receptionist called and before the security could catch up with her, she alre-ady jumped out from the fence… Obviously, theyn’t even know how she got into the h0tel. Betty runs as fast as her legs could carry her and boarded a taxi that took her home. When she managed to get home, she went straight to her room without greeting or talking to her mum. She took a warm shower and lied on her be-d, she listens to the record again and tears flee from her eyes. (“I wish I had never killed someone, I Wish I had never put my hands in bad things, I just wish I had never followed bad gangs that turned me into the beast I am today but one thing is for sure, i Will not kill Richa-rd , i Will never again shed innocent blood for money. If saving Richa-rd ‘s life will lead me to jail then i Will do it, even if this is the only good thing I Will do before I Will be killed I Will do it for people to remember me and as for Caleb, his father and Jackie.. i Will make sure I s£nd them to grave, in their next life they will never mess up with someone that looks like me. I will sacrifice myself for the innocent so that the wicked can be destroyed, yes that’s what am gonna do.”) She thought in tears.
**
On Monday morning, Betty woke up and got dressed for work, she has alre-ady told her mum about her new job and her mum was very happy because her daughter has finally changed to a responsible girl.
She wore a blue suit trou-ser and the jacket and white long sleeve inside, black high heels and black handbag. She tied her hair ponytail and apply light makeup, she looks like a bank manager.
She c@m£ out of her room and was re-ady to go.
“Mum, good morning, am going to see you later.” She said.
“Won’t you at least have breakfast? I have prepared it alre-ady.” Her mum said from the dinning table.
“No mum, I Will be fine.” She said.
“Come on you have to.” Said her mum with puppy eyes.
“Ok fine, just a slice of bre-ad.” She said.
“That will be fine by me.” Her mum replied and adjust her seat for her and she sat down.
She finished eating and pe-cked her mum before leaving, coming out from the gate she met Caleb waiting for her outside.
“Yes, what do you want?” She asked as she walked to him.
“Good morning Beauty, how was your night?” He asked.
(“Hmm, Caleb greeted me, he is even asking me how was my night..wonder shall never end) she thought staring at him.
“Well, my night was fine. So what bought you here this early morning?” She asked.
“I c@m£ to apologize for what happened between us the other day, Betty is truly sorry, I Don’t know what c@m£ over me that night plea-se forgive me and also I and Jackie are not d@t!ngneither am I slee-ping with her, if she has told you that it’s a lie.” He said.
“It’s ok, I Have long forgiven you, I guess I said those words out of anger, you too should forgive me for accusing you f0rç£fully.” She said.
“It ok, so are we good now and are we still pla-ying our game?” He asked.
“Yes off course, you know I can do anything for money.” She said and they laughed.
“Wow! You look good and innocent.” He tea-sed her.
“Oh yeah, that’s because am innocent.” She said and they laughed again.
“Come in let me drop you off.” He said.
“Alright.” He replied and they entered the car while Caleb drove off to the company.
