Chapter 60
Chapter 60 Fooling Theresa
*Although I look physically strong, I’m weak on the inside,” Broderick said. He then gestured for his
guards to carry Theresa to the car. Nell was angry that Broderick didn’t carry Martha. Even though
Broderick had an excuse, she felt like the excuse was not reasonable anymore. But she can’t afford to
act suspicious by being overly concerned about Theresa so she watched as the
guards carried her away.
“Are you weak because of the death of Amy?” Nell turned to Broderick and asked. “Yes, mother. Her
death was sudden. She’s the mother of my children. Up until now, I have not known how to tell the news
to my children. Amy was with them for six years, the feeling that they will never get to see Amy again will
hurt them so much,” Broderick said with a broken heart.
Nell pretended to be sad and shook her head pathetically, “I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat. Amy’s
death really hit me hard. But please Broderick, you need to stay strong for the sake of your children. If
you are weak, how Will you be able tofort the children?”

Broderick heaved a painful heavy sigh. She ced a hand on his shoulder in aforting manner and
said,” do you think I should follow you home, perhaps, I can speak to the kids about it in a better way and
quicklyfort them in a motherly manner?”
Broderick looked at Nell and said,” Don’t worry, mother. I’ll know how to tell them.” Broderick felt like
Nell’s presence in his house will make him feel burdened. Nell didn’t disturb him any further but rather
leaned her head on his shoulder. A few minutester, Broderick arrived at his living room and then began
to walk towards the kid’s room. He knew that the kids must have been very curious about what could
have happened to their mother. It was better he just tell them. No matter how hard it is, they have to
ept the sad reality. When he was almost getting to the kid’s room, he saw the maid walking out. “What
are you doing in my children’s room?” His hard voice sounded, sending shiver down the spine of the
maid. She shook in fear and said with a shivering mouth,” I …..” Broderick walked to the door and
opened it, only to see the kidsughing about God knows what. Seeing that the kids were not hurt, he
turned back to the maid and asked,” respond.”
“I came tofort them that you will soon be back cause they have been sad since yesterday,” she said.
Broderick looked at her suspiciously and said,” you are still the only suspect in the death of Amy.”
Broderick wondered what the maid said to the kids that made them even startughing. “Scram!” He said
and the maid left. He had gave an order for a close eye to be kept on the maid. Until he finds out who
truly killed Amy, he would not punish anyone. It wasn’t in his principle to punish innocent people.
Broderick then walked inside, once the kids saw him, their happy face turned sour immediately and Elijah
stepped down from the bed and went to meet him,” where is mum?” “How is mum?” Debby added and
also stepped down from the bed. Broderick looked at the kids with a shattering heart and dered with a
sorrowful spirit,” she’s dead.” He shut his eyes immediately after saying this and the kids immediately
began to cry.

Their cries intensified and some sat on the floor and began to cry while others were on the bed crying.
Broderick opened his eyes
and his heart broke as he watched as his six cuties cry.
“Please, stop crying! Please! I know it hurts that you will never get to see her again,” Broderick said but
the kids just kept crying hard, He was scared that they will fall sick if they keep on crying, he didn’t know
whom to call to helpfort them as he didn’t trust neither of the maid nor Theresa.
He walked to the girls and petted them, letting them soak his shirt with their tears,
In the sad atmosphere, Broderick’s phone rang and on picking up the call, he saw that the caller ID was
Brett,” not in a good mood.” He said as soon as he answered his call,
Chapter 00 i oving Thereas “We can’t find Amy’s body on the hospital bed, only her ashes could be
found,” Brett said. “The fuck!” He stood from the bed at once and said,” I’ll be there.”
“Please i’ming, I’ll tell the maid toe over,” he said to the crying kids and walked out. He quickly
ordered the maid to
attend to the kids. Afterall, she once made themugh in their sad state. Once the maid walked in, the
children stopped crying at once andughter erupted the atmosphere. “Oh smart! Ya’ll really cry like it’s
genuine,” the maidughed again. “We have to y the game perfectly,” Moses said and quickly went to
theptop that the maid came prior to deliver to them. He opened it and dialed a number, once the
person on the other end answered, her face got revealed. “Mum!” Moses screamed joyfully and said,”
guess what? Dad just came here and told us you were dead,e and see how we were all faking
tears.”
This time, the remaining five childrean swarmed around Moses so they can both watch the person on the
screen. They all had
smiles on their face. Amy smiled from the other end,” Just act along, I’lle back home precisely one
monthter. But before then, we will be meeting every Friday by the beach, Joan will always you take
you there to meet me.” “Okay mummy, we can’t wait to meet with you this Friday,” Queen said. “Yes,
mum! I’m missing you already.” Elisha said. “I just wish we can fast-forward the time so one month can
come already,” Elijah said. “We can talk time to time from here, okay?” Amy said and the children nodded
gleefully. A knock suddenlynded on the door and
Moses quickly closed theptop and hide it under the pillow.
“Who is that?” Moses screamed.
The door opened and Theresa appeared, the children immediately carry on a sad look. The smiles on
their face immediately
vanished and they now looked sober. “Miss Theresa, you should have let the kids give you permission
before you step in, I think you should respect their privacy,” Joan, the maid said. Joan has started hating
Theresa after she caught her adding poison to Amy’s food. That day that Theresa appeared at the
kitchen and told her to go ahead and serve the children’s food while she serves that of Broderick. She
knew that Theresa was up to something as she had never really trusted her. Joan just never liked her
demeanor. When Joan pretended to walk out with the children’s food, she didn’t evacuate totally. She did
left the kitchen but she was by the door, peeping. Once she saw Theresa brought out something like
drug from her purse, she immediately dropped the tray of the children’s food in her hand and began to
record how she poisoned the food.
Once Theresa was done, she looked back to be sure no one was looking at her but Joan had hidden well
so Theresa didn’t suspect anything. She saved the video and then went to serve the children’s food.
After watching Theresa serve Broderick’s food, she also walked inside the kitchen to pour the poisoned
food away then got a new food for Amy then came to serve it. Once all the foods were set, Joan ran
immediately to Amy’s room and told her she had something urgent to discuss, Amy weed her
politely and Joan revealed the video she recorded. She also told Amy she had poured the poisoned food
away. Amy knew Theresa was desperate to have Broderick all to herself, what she didn’t know was that
Theresa even wanted her dead. Anny thought that if she remains in this mansion, if at all she escaped
the poisoned food today, she may not escape Theresa’s death trap next time. So it was better to leave
this mansion for a while. A month should be enough. She would use that period to effect a lot of ns
she has in her head as regarding Theresa, her stepmother and her Stepsister.
But Amyised with the maid to tell the kids that she’s not dead because she doesn’t want the kids to be
sad. She always wants
her children to be happy always.
She trusted the maid and beleived that the maid can protect her children during her absense plus she
created a means at which she canmunicate with her kids with a live video call. Moreso, she nned
on secretly meeting with the kids every Friday
until she finally revealed herself by the end of the month. By that time, she should have been able to find
out and reveal as many secretes as she can
1007
Infact. Theresa’s day of pretending to be a good woman will soon be over because she has the video
evidence of Theresa
poisoning her food. But she will reveal it and many more at the right time.
“Did you forget you are just a maid? How can you talk to me that way?” Theresa asked Joan, shooting
her a disgusting and a
demeaning look. “I know I’m a maid, I’m only teaching you what is right.” She said fearlessly.
Theresa was angry and approached her, she raised her hands in an attempt to p her but Moses
spoke,” hold it.”
Theresa paused and looked down at Moses with an angry look.
“She has said nothing wrong, how can you p her?” Moses asked.
“She only said you should respect our privacy and not just barge in on us,” Elisha added. The kids knew
that it was important to lecture Theresa on this so that she wouldn’t barge in on them at a time they may
be having a live video call with their mum. Amy had warned them that they had to keep the fact that she
was alive a secrete from everyone.
Theresa lowered her hand and smiled at Elisha,” I’m not mean or uncultured. It’s just that I don’t like the
way this maid speaks to me.” Theresa wanted to curry favour from the children now that she know that
their mother is dead. She want to work hard to make the children love her and regard her as their
mother. That alone can make her find more of Broderick’s favour.
“Please don’t make an attempt toy hands again on her just because she’s a maid. We are all human
beings and we should treat one another with respect,” Elijah said.
“Alright, I’ll do as you have said,” Theresa still had a smile on her face and then said to the maid, “get
out.” She was still angry at the maid and infact, nned on punishing her greatly in the absense of the
children.
The maid walked out without saying a word but she actually didn’t leave, she was by the door, peeping.
She can’t trust Theresa alone with the kids. It’s her responsibility now to ensure that the kids are
protected.
Theresa sat slowly on the bed and sighed, she forced tears out of her face and said,” I’m so sorry about
the death of your mother.
When I heard about it, it hurts me so bad that I felt like killing myself. I love your mum so much,” she
cried even more while the children just watched her with a pretentious sad look.
She ced her hand on that of Elijah and said,” Elijah, I know how much pain you feel right now,” she
was looking straight into the little boy’s face. Elijah let tears stream out of his face and began to cry, she
quickly drawled him closer to herself and made him
hug her. “I miss my mum,” Elijah said pitifully. His brothers and sisters also began to cry.
Oh my! Come dearies,” Theresa gestured to them all and they all swarmed around her and continued
crying while she was Detting them.
The maid who was peeping and watching was just chuckling on the inside.
“Theresa, you will soon realize how much of an ignorant fool you are,” Joan mumbled.
