Chapter 38


    Chapter 38


    Her Father 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 dered, “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


    entran


    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 the door, she won’t be able


    to have ess to him anymore,” I want to see my children. I feel empty without them.” “Did the hickeys


    dissapear to your neck or did you think I’m a fool?” He asked. He wasn’t hurt that she had sex with


    someone else, it was his ego that was hurt. He felt like his pride was trampled upon. How can a woman


    whom he regard as a wife for the time being go to another man to have sex with him? “When I was


    outside of Mike’s house and was waiting for a cab, someone srcubbed my neck with God knows what, I


    indeed saw the person running off but I didn’t see any reason to pursue him or her because I thought it


    was just an ident or maybe the person was a psycho,” she said. ‘This woman really thought she can


    deceive me,’ Broderick finds what she said to be really ridiculous and then mmed the door.


    Amy actually felt as though the door was mmed on her heart, her heart banged heavily like it was


    being hit with a pestle. She cried out loud as she fell to the wall beside the door. “How would she see her


    children?” She thought but couldn’t think of anything solid. After crying for hours, she felt so exhausted


    and walked to her room in pain. She went to stand before the mirror again and examined the hickeys in


    her neck, whoever drew this to her neck sure had it all nned out. The marks looked exactly like an


    hickey. Who could be trying to set her up? First someone shot at her, now someone tried to set he up for


    cheating. Could it be that someone was trying to set her up?


    She went to the bathroom and washed her face with water, but that didn’t make the headache she was


    feeling to stop neither did it reduce the pain in her heart.


    She picked up her phone and called Mike, the call was almosting to an end when Mike answered it.


    “I’m sorry, Amy. I just left the bathroom, are you home now?”


    “Don’t pretend like you don’t know I’m fine. Why did you draw an hickey in my neck?” She asked.


    Although she wasn’t sure he was the one but she really couldn’t think of anyone else. No matter how


    much Gan hates her, he wouldn’t try to kill her plus Can was still in the prison. She nned on


    apologizing to Mike after he had refuted her usation. However, Mike surprisingly kept quiet. She had


    to speak,” why are you quiet? Are you surprised I find out?” “I didn’t draw the hickeys to your neck,” he


    said but added three secondster,” but I know who did.”


    Amy furrowed her brow in shock, she wasn’t expecting thest statement. She was so shocked that she


    had to sit upright on her bed and pressed her phone on her ear so she wouldn’t miss any words of what


    he was about to say,


    “Who is the person?” She asked, trying to hide how overly curious she was.


    “Your stepsister,” he answered briefly. “Martha? How did you get to know her?” Amy asked. Wondering


    why Martha would be trying to set her up before Brodenck. She was never on good terms with her


    stepmother and her stepdaughter. They hated her from the onset and she doesn’t like them neither. Her


    father was always indifferent of their cruel attitude towards her when she was living


    Her Father with them that was why she left and she has never regarded herself as someone who has a


    family.


    Why would her Stepsister suddenly show up now?


    “What I told you about my girlfriend and I almosty breaking up was a lie, my girlfriend and I are in good


    terms.”


    “How does this have anything to do with my question?” Amy asked. “Martha is my girlfriend and…” He


    paused while Amy listened keenly, she was shocked at his first statement but then was waiting for what’s


    next, “Can is my elder brother.” “The fuck!” Her head almost blew away with the revtion. Amy knew


    that Can has a younger brother who was living abroad but he didn’t know his name neither did she


    bothered too. So Mike was his younger brother?


    “You do realize that thepany we met was our family’spany’s, right? Though Broderick acquired


    it recently but fifty percent of workers there are members of our family. I came back from abroad three


    years ago and started working there. After you and Broderick sent my brother to prison and even bought


    off ourpany, I asked for workers to be paired together, and that you and I should be paired together


    so I can take revenge on you and Broderick,” Mike said. Amy’s heart just kept beating as he heard him


    speak, she was dumbfounded. Mike looked very gentle and looked like one that can’t even hurt a fly. “I


    wanted to hide it from you for long but I thought there was no need for that anymore. But as for your


    stepsister, she had a different purpose, when you meet with her, you can ask her,” Mike said. “Were you


    the one that shot me?” She asked. “The n is not to kill you. I wasn’t the one,” Mike answered. “I


    haven’t even started my revenge yet, Amy.” Then it would probably be her stepsister who tried to kill her.


    She can understand why Mike is seeking revenge but what in the world has she done for Martha?


    “But you were the one who sent Martha to draw the hickeys in my neck, right?” Amy asked. “I just said I


    haven’t made any move yet. And I’ve done a great job by telling you who drew the hickeys to you neck.


    Like I said, you can contact your stepsister to know why. Can I hang up?” Mike asked. “What did you


    n to do to me?” She asked. “Why don’t you just watch,”; Mike said and added, “bye, Amy.” He then


    hung the call. Everything suddenly made sense to Amy but the revtion he delivered now was too


    much for her to bear. Can was wrong and was sent to prison, why was his familying for her? She


    has no one to protect her and the kids, how can she possibly survive? She didn’t have the contact of her


    stepsister neither did she have that of her stepmother. The only way to contact them was to go to her


    father’s house. Her father’s house always remind her of how she was abused in the past. She have to


    get to the root of this matter to be able to convince Broderick that she had more enemies than she thinks


    and that it was her enemy who was trying to set her up. She walked out of her room and went outside to


    take a cab, she chattered it quickly to her father’s house and was soon dropped before her father’s


    house in no time. She walked into the house calmly despite raging in anger and burning in pain, she


    nted a knock on the door and it gave way in no time. N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Seeing her Stepsister, Martha, she frowned very deeply and asked,” why are you after my life?” “Excuse


    me!” Martha feigned ignorance, “I asked why you are after my life. You tried to shoot me and put an


    hickey on my neck to frame me up, what did you want from me? Last I remember, I left this ce many


    years ago hoping not to have anything to do with you and this family anymore.”


    “Who is that?” Someone’s voice sounded from inside as soon Amy finished speaking,


    “The bitch is here,” Martha answered the woman that just asked a question. “The bitch? You called me a


    bitch?” She raised her hand and sent a resounding p to her cheek,


    Martha fell at once as if she had been waiting for the p. Steps rushed towards the door and an aged


    woman appeared,


    she was Martha’s mother and Amy’s stepmother.


    “You! What did you do to my daughter?” Edith shouted on Amy who just stood still, Edith immediately


    called on her husband, Carlton. Carlton appeared in a jiffy and saw Martha lying on the floor, he frowned


    and said to Amy,” how dare youe over here to cause trouble? What did you do to her?” “You can


    rebuke herter, please let’s find a way of taking my daughter to the hospital,” Martha said and Carlton


    quickly ced a call across to an ambnce. Carlton squatted before Martha and began to examine her


    face, then she saw marks on her cheek that depicts that she was pped. “Amy, you dared to p her,”


    Carlton was so angry that he stood and sent Amy a resounding p.
