The sacrificed

Prologue

At the Lobby of the Grand Hill Hotel, Jade stood donned in a red sexy, skimpy, long-sleeved gown, which she paired with a black strap heel, a black clutch and a pair of dropping earrings which matched perfectly with her silver bracelet. Her makeup was mild and natural, but she was the most beautiful girl at the hotel tonight.

She frantically paced about the lobby as she tried making up her mind to go in

Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead as she kept pacing.

She was too lost in her thoughts to hear the guys whistling at her. Her actions tonight would either mar or make her…She desperately needed a sign to tell her what to do.

Jade jerked back to reality when her phone rang. She sighed deeply when she saw who was calling; this wasn’t the sign she needed. Maybe her mind was already made up. She reluctantly picked the call after its first ring

“Jade, you’d better return home. I can tell you he isn’t worth it. Don’t do what will destroy you for good,” Her mother pleaded over the phone

“Mother”, She called in a quiet and low voice. Why was her mother making things difficult for her? Yes, she asked for a sign. Isn’t this a good one?

“I know you love him, but you can’t ruin your life for him. Jade, please listen to mother, okay” Her mother continued pleading with a teary voice.

“Mother, I have to save him. I’m sorry,” Jade told her as her eyes turned misty with tears.

“If you dare, I’ll break all ties with you. Your father will roll in his grave for your foolishness,” She warned as she raised her voice. Maybe hopefully, threats might work.

“I’m sorry, mother”, Jade apologised before hanging up.

Her phone beeped suddenly, and she opened it to see a text from Cale. It read..

‘Save me, Jade, you’re all I have…I love you.’

She stared at the message for a couple of minutes. She has to do this; it’s for the man she loves.

She put her phone back into her purse, took a deep breath to calm her nerves as she turned and walked towards the elevator with her shoulders squared.

If this sacrifice would save her love, then she’d gladly do it
