"Go Inside!" One of the men ordered while stopping in front of the massive door.
Caleb looked at the door with serious eyes and finally inhaled a deep breath before nodding.
The man opened the door for him and he went inside.
As soon as Caleb enters. His eyes went to all black suit men around. While he looked up straight, finally focused on the man who was sitting on the luxurious leather chair in an emperor's manner showing a powerful aura around him. He is young which made him a little stunned. He was in an expensive branded suit. While everything around him showed his uncountable wealth and power.
When Caleb's eyes roamed from his clothes to his face, he instantly felt a coolness around his back. As the man's gaze was too strong and dominating while his smile looked threatening. He is good-looking but with a mysterious smile on his face.
Caleb never felt something like this before but he tried to stay calm and composed.
He doesn't know why but the man's sharp gaze made him feel scared and chill to the backbone.
The more he was scared, the more he felt the other side was extremely powerful to make mistakes.
He can't make a wrong move or else he won't see his future. They are not going to let him leave!
After thinking deeply, he moved towards him and stopped a few meters far away. Before He tried to start a conversation with a small smile.
"He...Hello! Mr…" Suddenly, he remembered he didn't know the other party's name and felt awkward.
"Byron Gilbert!" Suddenly the man in a grey suit came from the door behind him.
Caleb looked at the man with curiosity. As his clothes are different from other men's. He is also young and good-looking, carrying the same attitude as a chairman. He guessed he should be his family member or right-hand person.
Caleb finally nodded to him and then looked at Byron who was still staring at him with a strong gaze.
"Hello, Mr.Gilbert!" Caleb greeted him.
While the grey suit man went to Byron's side and stood behind his chair on the right side.
Caleb now understood he is also one of the men who worked for Byron.
"So, you are Caleb Beckett, who took one million debts and is still too far to pay it?" Byron's voice was cold, husky, and deep while his tone seemed heartless. He gazed at him with a straight face.
Hearing his words, Caleb flinched in his place while he gulped his saliva with anxiety.
"S...Sir, please give me more time! I'll pay you all the money!" His voice shook completely while his eyes looked at Byron with nervousness.
However, Byron chuckled loudly to hear him which made Caleb sweat on his forehead.
"Give you time?"
"Could you tell me how you will earn one million in a short time?" His words are filled with mocking.
While Caleb stuck to hear him.
Byron saw his reaction and added," Mr. Caleb, why don't you just accept you can't pay your debt? Even if you turned old and died in front of me!" He smirked coldly.
"Sir, Give me a chance! One more chance!" Caleb pleaded.
"Chance?" Byron laughed which is not a real laugh.
"In our business, there is no other chance! All we collect is money or the dead body!" Byron's eyes turned sharp and dark. There is an evil smirk on his face.
Caleb's heart tightened while his whole body started sweating with fear. He immediately runs towards you while two men in black suits come in front to push him but Byron stops them and lets Caleb come.
Caleb suddenly reaches Byron's legs and knees beside him touching his leg with both hands.
"Sir, don't kill me!! I'll do anything to pay your debt! I also came here to accept your offer!" He blurted out in fear.
Byron smirked.
"Are you sure? You can do anything and be ready to accept my offer against terms and conditions?"
"Yes!" He hurriedly responds.
"You will know the offer. But first, the condition is you need to trade something precious in exchange for money!"
"Precious?" Caleb didn't understand.
"Yes! Just think about it! It can be anything like land, jewellery or..."
"Or?" Caleb asked.
Byron smirked playfully.
"Person!" He completed his word while his eyes turned powerful.
"Until it's value and precious! I'll think about it!
Caleb felt too nervous as he couldn't think about anything to call precious. There is nothing precious. His home is already Byron's. Now, what more he can have to give?
"I don't have anything!" He declared with fear.
"Then be ready to die! There is no offer from me!" As Byron announced, his one-man came fastly to punch Janson's face.
Caleb's eyes were closed with terrified while his body shivered.
However, before the man's fist could land on Caleb's face, his phone rang.
Byron raised his hand to stop his man.
Caleb also opens his eyes as he feels he didn't punch.
He looked at the man and Byron.
"Take out your phone!" Byron ordered and Caleb did that.
Byron forwarded his hand to signal him to give the phone to his hand.
Caleb gave the phone with a shaking hand.
Byron looked at the cell phone's screen where the young beautiful girl's smiling photos showed and just down there her name was mentioned.
"Abi…" He read out the name like he was checking how the name sounded on his lips. While a devil smirk suddenly takes his mouth.
He gave the phone back to Caleb.
Caleb immediately takes it.
"Pick up the call and turn on the loudspeaker!" He instructed.
Caleb did it.
As soon as he pressed the answer button. Abigail's worried voice comes from the other side.
"Hello, Caleb! Where are you?"
"Are you alright?"
Caleb looked at Byron and he signaled to answer.
"Yes, Abi! I'm fine! I...I just came to meet my school friend." Caleb replied with a hesitant voice as he was too anxious.
"Ohhh alright! Actually, I went to your room to send you milk but didn't find you. So, I felt worried!"
"Alright! Let's talk after I reach home!"
"Yeah! Okay!"
Abigail disconnects the call.
Caleb sighed in relief.
Byron looked at the phone and then Caleb. His eyes turned deep and unusual like he was thinking something deeply or making his new strategy.
After a few moments of silence. Byron asked with a husky voice.
"Is she your childhood sweetheart Abigail Levine? The one whom your parents adopted?" Byron smirked evilly.
Caleb felt dumbfounded at this moment.
Knowing Byron already gets all the personal details about his family matters, made him more nervous. It means there is no chance to be freed from his claws at all.
"Are you not going to answer?" Byron coldly asked.
While Caleb hurriedly answered.
"Yes! She's my girlfriend!"
"Abigail Levine…"
"Great!" Byron coldly smirked. While his eyes filled with exquisiteness. As he found something more interesting to play.
Caleb could not help but felt confused as he could not understand why Byron was suddenly pleased.
But Byron's next statement made it clear his smiling reason.
"I want her!" He declared like a governor.
While Caleb's eyes widened and tongue caught in the middle.
He felt he heard wrong and asked Byron.
"Wh...What sir?"
Byron's eyes turned sharp.
"I never repeat my words for anyone!" His tone turned fierce.
Caleb felt panic and didn't know what to speak anymore.
Did he just say he wanted Abi? He thought in his mind.
Byron saw his reaction and playfully smirked.
"You are thinking right! I want Abigail Levine!"
Byron finally cleared his words while Caleb felt speechless.
Caleb never thought Byron would show interest in Abigail.
But he can't do that. So, he tried to talk in a slow tone as he couldn't make Byron angry.
"But…Sir, she's…"
"I will give you five million and forget about your debt. You can have your home also if you let her have me!"
Byron cut his words in the middle and gave him the undeniable offer which Caleb couldn't think of in his dream also.
Caleb's eyes were already enlarged with shock and he almost forgot what he was going to say to Byron. As his offer is too tempting.
On the other side, Byron was truly interested to know what Caleb would choose his girlfriend Abigail or money.
Caleb doesn't understand what Byron saw on Abigail to offer something this big. So, he finally interrogated him.
"What will you do if I send her to you?" Caleb raised his brows and interrogated.
Byron felt laughing as he thought Caleb would fight with him or at least showed anger. But on the other side, he asks what he will do? Does that matter when he already thought about giving up on his love for money?
But Byron still answers.
"I'll marry her. That's enough?"
Hearing his words the atmosphere felt too silent. Not only Caleb was stunned but all the men who were in the room felt dumbfounded at this moment except the grey suit man like he already knew it was coming. He is the only person in a calm position with Byron.
While all the men looked at each other while Caleb fell amazed. The more he was listening to Byron, the more he was getting shocked.
"If you are ready to give up on your girlfriend. I'll give you money!"
Byron crossed his fingers and looked at him with a serious gaze.
Caleb knew he was serious. But he still feels Byron is the suspicious man. Everything is mysterious around him.
"Will he do that to exchange his lover for money?"
Seeing Caleb's silence, Byron suddenly announced, "If you don't like my offer then you can just submit yourself to my men. While your parents could be ready to be homeless the next morning!"
Caleb's body shuddered as he instantly forgot about his love for Abigail and responded with a determined look.
"I agree with your deal! I'll break up with Abigail!"
Byron looked at him with dark stares.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Caleb responded.
Byron smirked.
"That's great!"
"You made a good choice!" He added.
Caleb's hands clenched.
"Now be ready to send her to me! My man will come to take her in two days."
Caleb nodded. Byron looked at him with satisfaction.
"One more thing! In these two days! I hope you can already make her ready to submit to me!"
Caleb nodded as he thought this deal was not bad.
For Abigail, he will forget about her because his life is important and he is too young to die. And it's not like he is sending her to the old man. Byron is a rich, young, and good-looking man. As soon as Abigail submitted him. He will give her a great life. So, it's also a good life-changing experience for her. She will also forget about him with time. It's not like they are committed to each other. It's just a teenager's love.
"Now, you can leave!" Byron finally lets him leave while Caleb immediately turns to go back.
As he left, Byron smirked evilly and muttered in a cold tone.
"Abigail Levine! We will meet soon!"
"Boss! Are you thinking about it?" The grey suit man asked with seriousness.
"Yes! I'm damn serious! Now prepare everything for a wedding ceremony!"
"Alright! Boss!" The grey suit man nodded.
IN PARENTS ROOM "Mom, Dad!" "Now you don't need to worry! I already solved everything!" Caleb happily announced it looking at his parents who were still confused with his words on the other side. After coming from the mansion Caleb directly comes back home to meet his parents and tell them about this good news. "What do you mean son? We can't understand it!" Erma inquires with a confused tone while Dale feels annoyed by his son's statement. "Caleb, don't try to lie!" Dale furiously shouted. "Mom-Dad" He held their one and one hands in his. While both of them looked at their son. "
"Wh...What are you saying, Caleb?" Abigail sat back on her bed with shock while her body got frozen for a moment in disbelief. Her eyes turned bloodshot and tears almost ran down to her cheeks. Her heart completely shattered at this moment. She couldn't believe in her ears what she just heard from Caleb. He wanted her to marry the casino's owner in exchange for his home and money. Moreover, he has already accepted the deal! He sold her to an unknown big boss to save his neck. He sold her love, her care, herself to some random person for his own selfishness, and now advised her to accept this marriage. Marry the stranger and support him. How the hell doesn't she feel sad, upset, broken
"Caleb, did you see how she's glaring at us?" Erma stared at Abigail with a disdainful gaze like she was seeing something disgusting while she added, "And you want to talk to this girl with sweet words. She doesn't deserve that" "Mom!" Caleb tried to stop her mom from saying more as his hand touched her shoulder. He wanted to try one more time to talk to Abigail before his parents got to participate there. "Don't stop me, son! We gave you a chance! Now let us talk to her!" Erma coldly declared while Caleb finally let go of his hand from her shoulder. As he knows she's not going to listen to him. Erma came and stood in front of Abigail and started her talk. "Abigail! Listen carefully, we spent too
As soon as they all left her. Abigail fell on her knees and started crying with her whole might. Her chest felt so much pain at this moment that she clenched her clothes around her chest. She didn't understand why Caleb needed to betray her like this. She loved him blindly. She supported him in all his decisions even when he wanted to go to the city leaving her here, she blindly trusted him and waited for him. Moreover, when he fell into big debt she gave her dad's savings to him without any second thought. But what does she get in retribution? The betrayal of her lover! He sold her like a thing. He doesn't think about her and their love. How could a person change so much in one night? Is money so powerful that love couldn't survive there? His d
When Caleb and his parents were discussing Abigail. On the other side, Unexpectedly, they heard the door slamming a huge sound coming from Abigail's room. And moments later, their eyes enlarged to see Abigail appear in front of them with a frightening appearance with misbehaving clothes. Her hands carried a wooden chair while her body felt weak as she was shivering too hard. They calculated she was pushing the door with a chair to come out to save herself. Her clothes were torn and her body had some scratches on herself. Abigail also saw Caleb and his parents standing outside her room in a quiet manner which made her instantly st
"They are here!" Caleb informed his parents as soon as he got a call from Byron's man. "That's great!" Dale exclaimed, showing his bright-eyed to his son. "She's ready! You go outside and bring them here!" Erma happily orders Caleb. Caleb nodded to his mother and went outside the house. Dale and Erma glanced at each other with satisfaction in their eyes. The three BMW cars stopped right in front of the house. Caleb looked at the car with a single glance before making his way to the first car's window.
Dale saw them coming and greedily smiled before announcing it to others loudly. "See, Here they are!" His declaration made everyone in the living room eyes to look at Abigail who was coming behind Erma with a small suitcase in her hand. Martin silently looked at the young girl from head to toe as he thought something before smiling slowly. Caleb caught him and thought he should have liked Abigail's appearance which means it's good news for him and his family. On the other side, Abigail glanced at Martin with a heavy heart as she moved her eyes to look at the other black suit men.
The Car entered in front of a seven-star hotel that belonged to Byron. He has many properties and this is one of them. Abigail silently watches the tall marvellous building with stunning eyes. As this is her first time looking at something like this. The view is so beautiful that it makes her almost stop thinking about her struggle and look at the surroundings through the car with admiring eyes. The car almost crosses the long road before stopping in front of the hotel. Martin comes out first and then moved to the passenger seat door to make Abigail come out. As he opened the door, he looked at Abigail and asked her to get off.
