The soldiers stood at once and turned, then pointed the gun at Michael. "Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind? Why are pointing the gun at me?" Michael asked the guards angrily. Broderick saw how frustrated Michael was and smirked, he walked over to the dead body of his five men and knelt before them, he gritted his teeth in pain," I didn't know that he will truly kill you all. I'm so sorry, I'll compesate your family." Broderick stood and walked towards the standing soldiers that were pointing the gun at Michael, they quickly paved way for him after which he was now standing before Michael. "Did you think you can be smarter than me? You want to lure me to WestHill so that you can kill me, right? Did you really think I'm so dumb not to realize this?" Broderick asked and Michael furrowed his brow. Michael wondered how Broderick was able to make the Alessandro's soldier rebel against him. Actually, Broderick had made Brett to threaten the head of the Alessandro's soldier with hi
When Broderick arrived home, only Queen and Angel were at the living room, Queen was sitting on a small stool before Angel while Angel who was seated on the chair helped her in the brushing of her hair. The both of them were in a sad spirit , unlike other times when they would be having a merry conversation, they couldn't. Their third sister wasn't here.The girls were so dispirited that they didn't notice when Broderick walked in with Debby. Debby who was holding hands with Broderick snatched her hand away and shouted as she ran towards her sister, "Queen! Angel!" She was so happy to see them again. Queen and Angel turned to see the owner of the familiar voice that just spoke, seeing that it was Debby , they both jumped up and ran towards her, the three girls hugged eachother dearly. "Oh! Debby, we miss you so much," Angel said after disengagiing from the hug. "We have been sad ever since your absence," Queen said, observing Debby's face to be sure she was not harmed. "I'm here n
Amy set her gaze on the car with a heart beating heavily, she felt sweat on her forehead. There was no point leaving cause the person inside the car must have already seen her. As the car opened, she felt as though her heart had crawled up to her throat, she almost lost balance of standing. A long leg apepared outside of the car slowly and Amy had to hold on to her chest. "Oh no! Let this not be Broderick Alessandro!" She mumbled to herself and eventually, the figure apepared slowly. Seeing Brett, her heart crawled back to it's original place and she let our a heavy sigh of relief. She even arched her back and rested her two arms on her knees like she had just ran a hundred meter race..Brett walked towards her and once he stood before her, he asked," why did you disobey Broderick Alessandro's command?" Amy stood upright and swallowed," Brett, you have to keep this a secrete. It's something that requires my urgent attention." "Are you not scared that Broderick will find out? He ha
Amy turned fearfully at the sound of the voice and when she saw Brett, she heaved a sigh of relief. Brett had intentionally mimicked Broderick's voice. "You scared me," Any said as she tried to catch her breath. Brett shrugged and chuckled, "I would have reported you to Broderick if not for Jane." "Jane? My personal assistant? How about her?" Amy wondered why Jane was the reason why he didn't want to report her disobedience to Broderick"Forget it, let's go home," Brett said and began to walk alongside Nolan. "I need to see Nolan and tell him that I'm going," she said. "You can just call him, remember that it will be too dangerous for Broderick to find out you are outside of the house?" Brett reminded her. Before Amy could place a call across to Nolan, he appeared behind her and called, "Amy?"Amy turned to him and said," thank you so much, Nolan. I'm glad the truth has finally come to light." "You are welcome. I guess Brett is taking you home?" "That's right, I need to go ba
Amy was stunned with what Broderick said, she repeated," are you serious?" "Yes. I'm sorry once again about the loss of your mother," Broderick said and walked out. Amy remained in the room for a couple of seconds after which she eventually walked out of the room. When she got to the living room, she couldn't find the dead body of her father there anymore so she asked Irvin," where is dad?" "I've asked for him to be taken away," Irvin said and stood from where he sat, he walked towards Amy and cruved his arms around her shoulder," we may have lost dad but I promise to act as a father to you from now henceforth. I'm so sorry we had to experience this," Irvin said. "It's hard on the both of us, eventhough you are trying to comfort me, I know it's tough on you too," Amy said and rested her head on him. After a couple of seconds, the brother and sister walked out of the Owen's mansion. "What do we do regarding the mansion?" Amy asked cause there was no way she would come and live he
Broderick couldn't believe his eyes, his heart clenched painfully as though he was stung by a bee in the heart. He looked at the signed divorce papers in his hand and gritted his teeth heartbrokenly. 'I have forced the mother of my children to sign the divorce papers only to experience this?' Broderick thought, veins popping up on his forehead. 'I wanted to make this woman happy for once yet she broke my heart in this manner?' Broderick didn't say a word. There was a drop dead silence in the room. It was as though the world stood still. The scene of how Amy and Nolan kissed replayed in his head and he feel tortured. Why did this woman want him to divorce his wife when she has another man at heart? Broderick then set his gaze at Amy, Amy didn't know how to explain herself that she didn't invite Nolan here neither did she make an attempt to kiss Nolan, it was Nolan who abruptly took advantage of her. But the aura that Broderick was emanating was too strong that she dared not to utte
"You won't take the kids away, will you?" Amy asked. "I guess I looked like someone joking," just as Broderick finished speaking, the door opened and the kids appeared. The kids ran towards the two adults and hugged them each. "How was school?" Amy asked, while standing still. Elijah gave a breif response but Queen began to talk about everything that happened in school, from when they got to school until they closed. Before she was done narrating all that happened in the school, the boys already walked in, leaving the girls alone with the two adults. Broderick and Amy listened to the girls and when Amy realized that the girls won't stop talking anytime soon, she interrupted politely," how about you go in and take a shower first? I'll come and check on you later." "Let's go, dad and Amy seems busy," Debby understood the situation more than her sisters so she left with Queen and Angel. "Please don't take them away from me. I promise not to kiss Nolan anymore," she said, she can't
Amy eventually decided to walk to the backyard to check on him, on getting there, she sighted a familiar female figure standing beside a male figure that was laying on a sofa. She walked quickly towards them and immediately identified them. Martha was stunned to see Amy, she didn't expect for her to be here. Amy ignored Martha and squatted quickly beside Broderick, she examined him and noticed that he wasn't fully conscious. "Broderick! Broderick!" She called repeatedly but he only grunted. His response was not firm. Thinking that Martha may be angry because Broderick had forced her to sign the divorce papers, she stood from beisde Broderick and asked Martha with a stern look," what did you do to him?" Martha scoffed and checked her wrist watch," in few minutes time and your man will be carried away." She continued, "I'm sure you are the one that got into his head to divorce me, right? Well, Broderick didn't love me, yes but I love him. Thing is, you are not a worthy competitor t
