Broderick didn't say any word while they were inside the car and that even made Amy more nervous. She kept stealing glances at his handsome profile. She was sure he was definitely angry but the fact that he wasn't saying any word was making her worried. A couple of minutes later, the fleet of cars came to an halt and the door was immediately opened on both side. Broderick stepped out through a side while Amy stepped out through the second side of the door. It was only after she had stepped out that she realized that the house was the Alessandro's mansion. Why were they here? She wondered and immediately followed after Broderick as they both walked inside the house. Broderick walked straight to Elizabeth's room while Amy followed. Amy saw Elizabeth on the bed with all sort of medical gadgets connected to her. "Mother," she walked quickly to her. Once Elizabeth sighted her, she forced out a smile, her sickness had suddenly got worse

Broderick who was just about to light his cigarettes raised his gaze up at her as soon she said those words. "What did you say?" he paused what he was about to do and seriously concentrated on her. "The children ars yours. I wasn't sleeping with random men at the club. I only had a night stand with you cause I was terribly heartbroken," Amy said. Unlike her previous words that he finds hard to beleive, he seems to believe this as he stood to his feet and asked," are you telling the truth?" "Yes, I found out I was pregnant two weeks after we had sex," she said. "I was hiding it from you because I was scared that you will take them from me. But I will rather let their father take them from me than to let a stupid jerk and cheat take them from me," Amy said. Broderick smiled, happiness spread across his heart, he quickly prayed in his heart that this wouldn't be a dream. He held her left arms and said, "are y

Amy squinted her eyes and eventually shut it, she felt sorrowful at the fact that he may never love her. It's been six years yet he still wasn't ready to give love a chance. People who cheat on us sometimes do not know that they are not only breaking our heart but damaging it. Amy turned and walked inside her room, she thought so hard about the possibility of Broderick falling in love with her and even her knows that if a time comes when he finally falls in love with her, then that would be a miracle. Broderick walked inside the executive hall the following day with his three kids. Everyone had thought in the past that the most powerful man in NorthHill was infertile, now it was time to prove to the world how fertile the most powerful man in NorthHill was. Moses, Elijah and Elisha were all dressed in black tailored suits and black shoe just like their father. As they stepped inside the hall, a lot of newscaster and journalist took the father of

Broderick sat beside the bed that Amy was and was watching her, he had been beside her for the past two hours. He already had his personal assistant, Broderick, to investigate who shot her. He would have suspected Callan but Callan was already in the prison. He received a call on his phone and seeing that the caller ID was Brett, he answered at once," have you found out whom the person is?" "No, sir. I'm outside with the drugs that Mrs. Amy is to use," Brett said and Broderick stood at once and went to get the drugs for him. By the time he returned back to the room, Amy was already awake, he went to sit beside her and asked, "how do you feel?" Amy remembered that the last thing she knew was that an heavy and harmful object pernetrated her shoulder, she adjusted to a sitting position and asked," how do I get here?" "You were shot in the shoulder, " Broderick said flatly making her furrow her brow in shock. 

"Yes, sir," Ernest placed a call across to the resturant manager and commanded him to evacuate everyone from the resturant as it was Broderick's command. In a jiffy, an announcement was passed and everyone was immediately asked to evacuate the resturant. Someone people have barely eaten half of their food, some had just started, no one knows why they were being evacuated and some were even murmuring at such uncultured act. Amy and Mike also had to leave, Amy soon returned back to her seat. She could neither continue her conversation with Mike nor continue eating. Overall, she liked Mike's vibe. His jokes are reasonable and he looked like a perfect gentleman. Once they close at work, Mike walk over to Amy with a sad face and said," I have been fired." Amy furrowed her brow and stood," what! Fired? How? What did you do?" "I don't know, I tried asking the bossess but they allnkept shonning me. No one will even say a word,

The following day was weekend, since Amy wasn't really busy, she thought she could go and pay Mike a visit and most importantly tell him that he would be reinstalled back and that she would stop working there. She would have called him on phone but she thought it would be more proper to pay him a visit. Plus, she doesn't plan on visiting him again after today. The maids were with the kids at the backyard of the house, playing with them, since Amy doesn't have a plan of coming back late, she did not really see any reason to inform the maids and the kids. As for Broderick, it would be better to inform him cause she doesn't want any trouble with him. He might not understand her true intentions of going so it's better she made it clear to him before leaving. She walked over to his room and planted a knock on the door severally but soon realized that the door was locked, implying that there was no one inside. He checked his study room and knocked, s

"What did I think?" Broderick asked and grabbed her hair all of a sudden then pulled it to the back in a very hard way. His eyes on his neck. "Did you think I was joking when I said you are mine?" there was danger in his eyes as he said these words. She winced in pain cause she felt like her hair was about to be pluck off her head, "Please, stop hurting me." "You deserve to die you promiscuous woman. You dared to have sex with another man yet pretending not to be intimidated by my charm?" "Huh? sex? Never! I didn't do... anything of such," Amy said in the middle of her pain. "You lier!" he pushed her angrily to the bed and tore her skirt away like a beast. He tore her pant away like it was nothing revealing her vagina. "I promise to fuck you till death. Ya'll women are fucking the same." he separated her legs and Amy began to cry. She didn't mind having sex with him but not in this situation," I swear with

Broderick turned to her and watched as she held onto his trouser, "let me go.""No, you are torturing me. Please, my children are my reason for living," she pleaded with tears rushing down her cheek. "No," he declared, "My reputation matters a lot and I don't joke with it. Although I have not announced you to the world as my wife, I still expect for you to honour this marriage," Broderick said and withdrew his leg from her grip. As he began to walk away, Amy felt her heart clutch together in bitterness, she hurriedly stood and followed after him. What can she do convince this man who has a heart as rigid as a stone. He was too big for her that she felt very insignificant before him. She trailed after him as he walked towards his room. He held the knob of his door and twisted it, he walked in and turned to the entrance then he saw Amy standing with a weak and pitfyful face. "Please!" Amy pleaded. She knew that once he closes

Amy furrowed her brow in shock. She have seen her father shown indifferent attitude towards the abuse that Martha and Edith inflicted on her in the past, but she had never been abused directly by her father. But today, her own father slapped her because of the daughter of a mistress. "Dad, you slapped me?" She asked. Was it not her who honour his call few months ago and even agree to enter into the mysery arranged marriage that she was at the moment. Yet he slapped her. "You slapped me for your mistress's daughter?" She asked with a broken heart. Amy's mother was his legal wife, but it was after her mother died that she found out that her father had kept a secret mistress all these years and what's worse, he even brought them home to live with him. Carlton was not as rich as the Alessandro's family but he was the Mayor of the city and hence, was influential. He was regarded as a king and adored and treated like one. Amy was supposed to have the

Broderick only took his face away from her and walked out. Amy got out of the bathtub at once and immediately went to get dressed then went to her children's room. She had been dying to see them. She opened the girl's room as soon as she got to the entrance of their room but she saw that they were already asleep. She woke them one after the other and they all hugged her as soon as they saw her. "Mum, we didn't see you when we came back?" Angel asked. "I didn't even know where you went nor when you will be coming back," Amy said sincerely. "We went went with mama Hannah to an amusement park, didn't dad tell you?" Queen asked. "He didn't. But I'm glad you all are home now. I need to check on your brothers too." "Okay," Angel and Queen said. "Mum, did dad bully you again?" Debby asked. Although there was no traces of tears on Amy's face, nonetheless, Debby could sense a hint of unhappiness on her
