CALEB ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL

Cale was shocked seeing Jerod and Matt standing there with the said briefcase they had visited that Sunday, Caleb quickly opened the door, they had the briefcase in their hand, "Jerod, Matt, what brings you over so late? Please come in."

Entering they saw a few guests, Jerod said, "I am sorry, I see we have come at an inappropriate time."

"Please son come in, how is your father's health?" 

Caleb looked at his dad knowing that when they did come that first day, the father said something, 'Was it that bad? Recalling the little girl's father said he was a bit under the weather

"Sir, I come with my dad's last wish, his health has deteriorated badly, and wanted to know if Caleb will be kind enough to comply with this marriage as soon as possible."

"I wanted to see your sister before I make my final decision."

"Sorry, now is not a good time. She is overwhelmed with grief and is not leaving my dad's bedside. But she had agreed to fulfil our dad's last wish, as you see we have the dowry," Jerod replied.

"Son, it is up to Caleb, and what he chooses to do."

"When do you wish for this wedding to take place?"

"We are running out of time, so if tomorrow at ten will do, we will appreciate it very much. Also, we will only like the immediate family to attend, if that is okay with you." 

Jonas realized that Jerod did not address this matter to Caleb, but to him. "Okay son, we will comply with your father's wish."

Placing the dowry in Caleb's hand and then gave him the address to his home. Caleb asked, "Jerod, I never asked, is your sister's full name Sarah, or is there another?"

"Sorry Caleb, my sister's name is Sarahiah Steelton."

"Thank you very much, I will be there by ten."

"Don't you want to see her picture anymore?"

"No need, we have already reached this far with the plan, and your dad isn't well, so I will comply with his last wishes and see it through to the end."

"You sound confident, what has changed?" Jerod was puzzled even a bit confused, waiting to hear what he will say.

"Yes I am confident, your father did say when I see her I would be amazed and seeing how your family were together, I don't expect you will try to outwit me in any way."

"Oh, and one other thing Caleb, she is a very straightforward person, and at no time we will expect you to hit her. I know you are aware of our professions."

When Caleb laughed, he then said, "Are you threatening me?"

"No my friend, because if my father hears of this, we are not too big for him to give us a spanking. I can assure you of that, but as you know, Sarah is our only sister and our baby, also she takes care of our children on Saturdays when we take our wives out to lunch, dinner or any other activities. As you may have noticed, the four of us protect our sister whether right or wrong."

"It more sounds as if she is spoiled."

"That we will leave for you to decide on your own, and thank you once again for accepting our proposal," seeing the both of them bow while bidding good night, then left.

"Are you such a fool? Why did you have to agree when you have never seen the girl?" Aaliyah respond angry with him for accepting the proposal.

The three of them saw the wicked smile, Aaliyah thought at that moment,  'These people came dangling that briefcase and he jump at the chance to get that money. 

Gilbert realized that this must be a way he could refurbish the stores, the few times I visited  store two I see he had sales signs. He might used this dowry to buy new stocks. Looking at him Gilbert knew that he was trying to save dad legacy while he himself trampled on his dad had work.

Feeling ashamed for what the three of them did. Mom was right if they didn't stop us then we would have destroyed everything they work so hard for. Turning aside so no one will see the tears that has fill his eyes

Hearing Caleb replies to Aaliyah remarks "Yes, you see I have every plan of returning this money to her family."

evil snapped at him, "What is wrong with you, you give the people your word Caleb?" 

"Yes, I did, by why are you angry Nevil, it is mine and I can do whatever I see fit. Now forget about me just tell me, who did you buy the car from?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Well then, why do you want to know what I am planning?"
