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
The noble men were all wondering why Broderick had called on this meeting earlier than they had planned.Amy walked inside with a file in her hand all of a sudden and greeted everyone seated briefly with a slight bow of her head and then walked towards the secretary's seat.When the mayor of the city saw her, that was her father, he frowned and wondered what she was doing here. He was even angrier cause Amy greeted him casually as if he didn't know her.Just when Amy was about to sit, Her father, Carlton spoke," are you the secretary?"Amy smiled, "Yes, mayor. I am the secretary to Mr. Broderick Alessandro."Everyone in the city knows that Joan Ansel was the secretary to Broderick, they were all surprised to find out that it was an unknown woman who was now Broderick's secretary. Not many people know Amy eventhough she was the daughter of the mayor. She left home before her father could identify himself with her before
"Oh!" she blushed and answered," It was..." she didn't know what word to use to describe it cause she didn't want to encourage him to do such in another meeting."Your father seems to abore hatred towards you, is he really your father or was the misunderstanding between you two that much?""He is my father, that I'm sure of. But...he stopped regarding me as his daughter. He now loves his mistress and her daughter," Amy said.Broderick looked away from her and didn't say any more word.Amy looked at his side profile and wondered how weird a man like Broderick Alessandro can be. He just asked her a question and she explained only for him not to say any word. Does that mean he doesn't have anything to say?Broderick remained quiet until the car pulled over at the garage of his mansion, once they stepped out and began to walk out," how miserable is your life. You don't have your husband's love and all your family are against you
His guard appeared quickly with a knife, and once he handled it, he raised his hand up to tear his stomach apart but the police walked in."Please, Mr. Broderick. Don't put judgement in your hands, let's handle it." Broderick paused and looked at the cops."If my son die, not only will I kill him with my hands, I'll burn down your station and kill you all," he threatened the cop.The cop walked towards him and seized the knife in his hand then took the man away.He walked out at once and was driven straight to the hospital that his son was.He saw from outside the theatre room that his son was on oxygen and his pulse rate was low, sadness held onto his heart and he almost cried. Pain had a large feast on his soul and he almost choked to death.He was not allowed to enter the theatre room, he stood majestically with five of his gu
Moses leaned on Broderick and he kissed his hair, "I'm glad you fought and overcame death.""I can't leave mum, my brothers and my sisters behind. I have to stay alive." Moses said while Broderick hugged him even closer.Once the cars pulled over at the parking lot of his mansion, he walked out with Moses and when he wanted to carry him inside, Moses said," I can walk, dad.""Oh fine!"Broderick placed him on the ground and they both walked inside.Amy stood at the living room with her five kids, once she told them that Moses was coming home with Broderick, they all went to the living room to await their presence. Even the maid was by a corner and can't wait to see Moses.Once Moses and Broderick walked in, Amy and her five children ran towards himAmy carried him and hugged him so dearly," oh! " she cried," thank you for staying alive."She kissed him on his forehead then pla
When Amy was done at work, instead of taking a taxi directly home, she took it to the Owen's villa. That was where her father's mansion was. As soon as the car dropped, she walked in courageously. She had purposed not to ever come here again but that will be after she had taken everything that belonged to her mother from here.She knew her father hated her now which was sad but she must learn to live with that. Her six kids are enough to bring her happiness. She walked towards the door and pressed the door bell, once the door opened and she saw Edith, her stepmother, she greeted her casually and walked inside."Where did you think you are going to?" Edith asked and then quickly trailed after her. Carlton Owen, her father wasn't around during this period."To my mother's room," she said without bothering to turn back to her, as soon as she got before her mother's room, she saw that the room wasn't even locked, it was slightly opened. She pushed
He stood and told her," I'll check on you here often. Tell Mama Nell I have left." Broderick left cause he felt burdened of the promise he made in the past that had now come to hunt him.Once Broderick walked away, Theresa quickly sped away from the living room to Nell's room, "Mother, he said cupcake and I don't know what to reply with, I'm afraid he might be suspicious.""You idiot, did you not study the entire diary I gave you?"Nell rebuked.Theresa- removed the facial skin mask on her face and dropped it on the table, she heaved a sigh of relief and said," I have not finished studying it, the diary has too many pages, how can I study it all in just few days?"The lady speaking wasn't Theresa, she was Martha, Amy's stepsister. Nell had decided to take advantage of the diary that Broderick forgot in her place when he was young to make him get another woman cause she was worried that he may not want to send Amy away after his moth
“We cannot divorce until my grandfather is dead. I can't let you out of my sight. You just have to agree to be my mistress and I'll do whatever it is you demand.” Harry insisted. Mistress are known to be of no value and would be treated with riducule in the society, Harry knows this yet he's making her such a ridiculous offer. While Debby was about to make a stand known that she would never accept to be a mistress in this lifetime, she suddenly felt a sharp pain surge through her head and quickly held on to her head. A sudden wave of De ja vu began to flood her memory. She suddenly remembered herself drowning through this river and a little boy, who looked like a mini version of Harry coming to save her. Debby had memory loss in the past and so, she could easily feel a sense of De ja vu, in a place where she had been to before and the whole thing would become familiar to her, even though she couldn’t fully recall the entire scene. Debby was bewildered. The memory she recalled jus
Harry had hoisted Edna up in his arms and carried her all the way to the bedroom, where he intended to satisfy his sexual urge. Once they arrived at the bed room, Harry dropped her to the bed and immediately pulled off her gown then began to pull off her under pant. Hid hard dick was already struggling to leave his trouser, his breathing was erratic and all he wanted just now was to fuck the woman before him very hard. However, he suddenly felt a stomach ache all of a sudden. He moved away from the bed, groaning in pain and clutching unto his stomach. Edna was pissed, she was elated that they were about to have sex but all of a sudden, he just had to have stomach ache. Why must the godforsaken stomach ache come at this time? Edna cursed. As the stomach ache subsided, Harry suddenly began to feel dizzy and suddenly fell down with a loud thud to the bed. All these reactions were as a result of the way the drugged drink reacts to his body system. Edna was highly frustrated, she neede
It was the seventh day since Debby had been kept in a room. There was no way she could go against Harry's will as she knew that the consequences of her disobedience would be severe. Talking about Fred, he had been coming to see her every day for the past seven days and each time he came, he asked the same question, which was when she was going to leave room. Debby had no idea and all she could hope for at this point was that Harry would be able to reconsider the whole situation and eventually set her free.Beinb locked up in a room by one's husband is a very horrible experience. He's treating her like a slave rather than a wife. Meanwhile, for the past seven days, Harry has been reconsidering his stand with Edna. He wondered why he couldn't feel the connection he had with her, just like he had while he was young. Ever since Edna came back to his life, he had expected that he would establish a bond between himself and Edna, but that wasn't the case.Tonight, Harry and Edna were havi
Harry heard the noise emanating from up the stairs and quickly rushed to check what was happening. Upon opening the door wider, he saw Edna on the floor, while Debby casually stared down at her. "What is going on here?" He demanded in a much authoritative tone."Harry, please don't punish my sister, she had only beaten me mercilessly cause she's angry, I don't want you to hurt her, I'll be fine, " Edna said, looking up to Harry, who was shocked to see the blood printed across her face. He turned his gaze to Debby, who was in shock."You bitch!" He refrained himself from giving her a slap as he had promised himself never to lay a hand on women. He quickly picked Edna off the floor and carried her out of the room. His personal assistant, Horace, who had also heard the shout came for them and when he saw his boss with Edna, he rushed to help the young woman."Take her to the hospital and get her clean up immediately!" He demanded and Horace nodded. Debby was still trying to recover fro
Edna had a knowing smirk on her face, seeing her sister standing motionless, with her gaze on Harry and herself. "Welcome back, Debby. I must admit you look astonishing in that dress..." Debby could see through the facades of her sister. She had always known Edna to be vindictive and this trait was something she would never fall for. Rather than making a statement or a comment, she chose to be silent and simply walked towards her room. Once she locked the door, she moved to stare at herself in the mirror. Harry was the one, who had complained about her being not faithful in their marriage, whereas he was simply being hypocritical with his principles. She wasn't exactly jealous, she didn't have feelings for Harry, but the reality was that seeing her sister so wrapped up in his arms, while she stood there was making her go really nuts. All she could hope for at this point, was at the fact that at some point, she would be able to live a rent free life away from all the hardship that
Debby had to leave work early to a shopping mall to get a dress for the impromptu celebration dinner. She has to look her best since many wealthy people of the city will be in attendance. However, she couldn't afford to buy the ones she really wish she can wear. She eventually gave up on ever finding a suitable dress. She had never attended a luxurious dinner before and at such, her dresses at homs couldn't obviously fit the category of the creme de' la creme status for the evening. She eventually decided to buy a corporate black suit that is neither too expensive nor cheap. Sarah would go to pick up Fred from school and it's the maid's job to ensure that Fred is taken good care of. She called her over and told her she may arrive late at night as she will be attending a dinner this evening that may last for a couple of hours. Sarah noted what she said and then, Debby dismissed her. While dressing up, she heard a knock at the door.Thinking it was Sarah who probably suddenly, remember
"I don't know what you are talking about..." She replied innocently. Debby was still perplexed as to why Arthur would make such statement about her. She has always known him to dislike her, but claiming she was a whore, has never come out of his lips before."Don't act innocent before me!" Arthur's voice sent goosebumps to her skin. She was terrified of the man standing before her. He had a look of rage on him and it felt like he won't mind breaking her. She felt even more uncomfortable cause she was naked, "You told me you have nothing to do with your Arthur any longer and yet I find you in his house last night, and from all indication, you had sex with him?" His statement were venomous, "Is this marriage a joke to you?" However, Debby couldn't relate with what Harry was saying. How did he even find out she went to Arthur's place? Was he secretly spying on her? And who told him she and Arthur had sex? She tried casting her memories back to things that had happened in Arthur's place
Arthur took Debby's unconscious body back to the room, where he had locked her. Once he laid her on the bed, his eyes gazed towards her body and how beautiful she looked. Arthur had the feel of sexual urge taking over his entire body. However, he couldn't do what his body desired of him as he didn't want Edna seeing him with utter disdain. He eventually left the room, after ensuring she slept properly. Arthur ensured he didn't tie her this time. He wanted to make her feel comfortable with him and all he could hope for is that with time, Debby would come around.Later that night, Debby woke up from her sleep and noticed everywhere was dark, she quickly turned on the light. She noticed she wasn't tied like the last time and she tried all the means possible to cast her memory back to the event that had taken place with her, all to no avail.Discarding all effort to try and remember what happened the previous night, Debby stood up and rushed to get out of the room. The room was locked. A
Arthur returned back to Harry one minute later and chuckled cause of the demands of his brother. Bringing Debby is here is risky no matter how hard he tries to think of a way out, there is just no way out. He will be exposed once Debby us out here. He relaxed a bit, trying to see how he could easily calm the tension, which was beginning to grow up. "We are brothers, Harry. We can't be petty and fight just because of a woman. You have no reason seeing my fiancee? Big brother, I believe you are tired. Just go home and rest, I certainly hope you would eventually be at one peace." While he spoke, he noticed the imaginary steams coming out from both side of Harry's ear. Harry was absolutely furious and he kept on restraining himself from administering any form of blow to his younger brother. Arthur noticed the veins popping out of his elder brother's body and knew at that instant that if he said any more triggering statement, all hell would be let loose. Arthur sighed, he was stuck o
