Chapter 58


    Chapter 58 She Killed Herself


    “But I’m just your mistress and nothing more,” Amy looked into his face and almost cried. “I’m also the


    father of your children. If you give me the permission to hurt your father, I’ll destroy him in one second,”


    Broderick said in anger. It was what he could do. “No… no, please don’t hurt him, please,” she said. She


    still loved her father no matter what even though all he kept doing to her was to hurt her.


    Broderick knew that hurting her father may hurt her too, this was why he had been restraining himself


    from destroying the Owen’s family.


    He stood and said,” rest and go home when you are fine.” “Thank you, Mr. Broderick,” Amy said and


    watched him walk away.


    Just few minutes after Theresa walked home, she walked towards the kitchen as her mother had


    advised. Once she saw the maid cooking, she asked,” I beleive this here is the kid’s food, right?”


    “Yes, ma, I’ll serve them soon,” the maid said. “And this here is for…?” Theresa gestured to another food.


    “This here is for Mrs. Amy, this is for you and that over there is for Mr. Broderick,” the maid identified the


    tes of food.


    “Okay, I’ll help carry that of Mr. Broderick, I want to serve his table personally today, you go ahead and


    serve the kids,” Theresamanded.


    “Alright ma,” the maid said and walked out to serve the food of the children on the dinning table. While


    she was away, Theresa poisoned the food that belonged to Amy.


    She then took Broderick’s food and went to serve it.


    A couple of minutester, everyone was seated at the dinning table with their individual foods before


    them. The kids just never liked it whenever Theresa is eating dinner with them. They always wish that it


    will just be their father, their mother and them.


    Soon, everyone began to eat. Amy also began to eat without suspecting anything. This was not their first


    time of taking dinner together so it was impossible for Amy to suspect food poisoning. Her stomach


    began to rumble all of a sudden and she firstly thought it was a temporal thing, when she saw that the


    pain in her stomach was increasing, she didn’t want her children to notice the pain she was goingN?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    through so she faced Broderick and said, “I want to use the toilet.” “Okay,” Broderick said and Amy stood.


    The children had their eyes on her cause this was the first time Amy would be standing up


    during dinner.


    Before she could take a step, the pain increased so much that it was as though a knife was piercing her


    stomach, she held her


    stomach and fell to the floor then began to foam immediately.


    The kids left their seat at once and ran towards her,” mummy! mummy! mummy!” they screamed


    fearfully. Theresa was happy that Amy was finally dieing but she quickly pretentiously stand and rushed


    towards Amy, “Amy, Amy…oh my gosh! someone call the ambnce.” Broderick had already stood and


    had even ced the call immediately to the ambnce team. They appeared in a jiffy and carried Amy


    away. The children immediately started crying. They were scared that their mother was going to die.


    Broderick took all the children to his room and made them sit on his bed, he felt his heart thumping


    himself but he had to pretend to be strong before the kids. He couldn’t even afford to go to the hospital


    cause he was scared of what he may see. With the way Amy fell to the ground, it felt like she would die.


    “Your mum will be fine, trust me,” Broderick sald.


    “How? Mum is foaming in the mouth,” Moses said as he cried even louder,


    “Go and check mum, go and stay with her and leave us,” Debby said. She knew they can’t be taken to


    the hospital but Debby was


    worried that someone may try to hurt their mother in the hospital.


    “Dad, go…please… Someone needs to stay with mum,” Queen said. Broderick agreed and stood,


    “Please stop crying, I promise you that your mum and I wille home together.”


    Broderick stepped out quickly but his phone rang all of a sudden, his heart thumped in fear before he


    could even check whom the caller was. He prayed that whatever the person calling him want to say will


    be a good news. He answered Brett’s call and his voice came through,” sir …Mrs. Amy is…” Brett sniffed


    in tears from the other end.


    You mean Amy is dead?” Broderick asked, he felt as if his head was no longer in his neck. Pain suddenly


    settled in his heart * making his heart too heavy to beat.


    “Yes,” Brett cried,


    Broderick clenched the phone hardly with his strong palm that the phone crumbled, he threw the phone


    to the wall and punched the wall very hard, he screamed in pain,” Amy!”


    Theresa heard from where she was hiding and ran towards him, “Mr. Broderick, what happened to Amy?


    What happened?” she had a pretentious look of fear on his face.


    ce.


    Broderick looked at her in anger and asked,” did you kill her?”


    Theresa furrowed her brow and said,” what! why will I ever do such? I can’t even hurt a fly. Yes, Amy and


    I exchange words atimes but kill…haaa…” Theresa began to cry, “how can I do such?” Broderick looked


    away from her and looked at the door to his room that the children were. How will the children feels when


    they hear that their mother is dead? How? How? His heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly with a


    knife by a merciless murderer He felt like he was going crazy and walked straight into one of the rooms


    in the mansion, he ripped of his suits snd shirts, he threw the torn clothes to the floor and went towards


    the shelve that has a lot of drinks in it. How would he face the children and tell them their mother is


    dead? How? oh gosh! Whoever made Amy die won’t survive. He shook his head painfully and picked


    one of the drinks, he opened it and gulped it in and even after several minutes, he didn’t take the bottle


    of drink off his mouth.


    The drink was now pouring from his mouth down to his jaw, to his neck, to his stomach and down his


    trouser. He emptied the content of the drink on his head making his short curly hair be wet.


    He picked another bottle and instead of opening it, he smashed it to the wall, the bottle broke and the


    drink spilled across the


    room


    *Amy, why did you die, huh?” he picked another ss of wine and smashed on the wall. His heart was


    tearing apart.


    *Amy!” he groaned in pain and walked to the bathroom, he pulled off his trouser and stayed under the


    shower. He remained under a running shower for thirty minutes until he started getting cold yet it didn’t


    help the pain in his heart. It didn’t at all, the pain in his heart was as if a hot stone was burning his with


    fire and the intensity of the pain did not reduce at all. He barged out and went to where the cell phone


    was, in his naked form. He called Brett and once he answered, he asked him, * what killed her?


    “Food poisoning, sir,” Brett answered pitfyfully.


    Food poisoning? It was no wonder she was foaming. Someone must have poisoned Amy’s food


    precisely cause others ate the food and were not affected in any way. It must either be the maid or


    Theresa,


    He dropped the cell phone and wore his trouser and shirt he walked over to the maid’s room and threw a


    heavy blow to the door


    that made it shook, he kicked the door five times with his legs and the door broke open.


    He saw the maid hide by a corner of the room in fear, “You killed her, yes or no?”


    The maid fell to her knees and cried,” I didn’t do anything of such, I have been loyal all my life to the


    Alessandro’s family and you


    have yeated me well, why will I want to kill Mrs. Amy?”


    The food she ate was poisoned and you are the only one in charge of the food. Is it not obvious that you


    were the one who killed her? Broderick asked.


    Mrs. Theresa did carne to the Kitchen when I was about serving the food, I don’t know if she does that


    but I swear with my nie,


    I can never think of killing anyone,” the maid said.


    “Come with me,” Broderick ordered and went with the maid to Theresa’s room. As angry as he was, he


    knocked on her room


    rather than breaking the door open but got no response. He knocked repeatedly and when he got no


    response, he said to the maid,” bring me the master key.” The maid ran away quickly and came back


    with the master key, he opened the door and walked in only to see Theresa on the bed with blood in her


    arms and a letter on her body. * He walked towards her body and picked up the letter and it reads,”


    Broderick, in the past, we use to be lovers. I love you so much and you loved me. As a little girl, I trusted


    you with my heart and you promise not to ever break it but you also promise to marry me when we grow


    up to adult b?t distance suddenly separated us. I had to find you now to let you fulfil your promise as you


    are the only one I have loved all my life but… although you married me as promised, you never trusted


    me. You even used me of killing your mistress, I have decided to kill myself too. I hope you find peace


    and love i your endeavor.” “What! she killed herself!” Broderick mumbled and ran quickly towards where


    the cellphone was then called the ambnce, the ambnce team appeared in a jiffy and carried her


    away. She can’t be the one who kill Amy and still try to kill herself, Broderick thought and turned to the


    maid who was looking at him timidly. “You are the only suspect,” Broderick said.


    The maid fell to her knees again and pleaded,” Mr. Broderick, who dare to challenge you? I dare not. I’m


    just a maid, please don’t punish me,” the maid cried hard.


    He just lost a woman in his life and was about loosing the second one. Won’t it be rumoured that he was


    cursed. Loosing his wife


    and mistress in one single day?
