Chapter 64


    Chapter 64 I Miss My Children


    “Excuse me!” Michael eximed, whereas, Amy’s heart thumped heavily when she heard her father call


    her by her name. Of course, he was her father so it would be easy for him to identify her with her cough.


    Only that she wasn’t ready to reveal the fact that she’s alive yet.


    “This is Amy,” Carlton pointed to Amy who just remained quiet.


    “Didn’t you just tell me your daughter is dead? Yet you are referring to my personal assistant as your


    daughter. I understand that you are not well at the moment, but please control yourself. We will take our


    leave,” Michael then lead Amy out to his car and quickly drove off.


    ‘Wasn’t that Amy?’ Carlton thought. Why does her voice looked almost the same as Amy? He sighed and


    concluded that he might


    be thinking too far, afterall, he had been in sadness ever since the death of Amy. ;


    Broderick received a knock on the door to his room at a time when heid still on his bed, meditating and


    thinking of Amy. It was just impossible for him to stop thinking about her.


    “Who is it?” His loud and hard voice prated through the door.


    “It’s me, Theresa,” a tiny voice responded.


    “I’m busy,” he said angrily, his face turning into a frown. “Mother and I have been able to find Amy’s dead


    body,” she said. Broderick processed what she said twice to be sure he heard the right word. He stood


    from the bed and walked to the door, he opened it and and on seeing Theresa, he asked to be sure,”


    what did you say?” “Mother has found Amy’s dead body. It’s presently at the mortuary, will youe to


    see it?” Theresa asked.


    his head of guards to get the cars ready. In a jiffy, Broderick was in the mortuary with Nell and Theresa.


    They both walked inside a special room and Broderick was stunned to see Amy’s dead body. His heart


    sunk into a bottomless abyss and tears struggled to fall from his eyes, he held her hand and said,” Amy!


    How could you die and leave your six kids? Even our son, Moses fought death and overcame yet you


    died. You didn’t give me the chance to make up fully for how I had treated you.” Broderick was very


    heartbroken. He knelt beside the bed and ced his hand on her forehead.

    mortu


    He now beleived that Amy was truly dead. He shut his eyes and absorb the intense pain that was


    feasting mercilessly on his heart after which he stood and walked out.


    Once he got to his car, he leaned on it dejectedly and looked at Theresa and Nell as they approached.


    He wanted to ask Nell where she find Amy’s dead body but he didn’t have strength too. He just needed


    somewhere personal to groan in pain.


    When the two women got before him and he saw that Nell was about to speak, he ced his right hand


    on Nell’s shoulder and said,” the wedding between Theresa and I will hold on Saturday at B Hotel.”


    Afterall, that was why they did everything they could to find Amy’s dead body, “Please understand my


    plight at the moment. I need my space for now.” Broderick got inside the car and got driven away leaving


    both women there. Once Broderick left with his escorts, Theresa turned to Nell and Jubted,” mother, I’ll


    be having a wedding with the most powerful man in NorthHill” She even jumped merrily. “Let the wedding


    happen first and get the ring, then you can Jubte,” Nell said and sighed.


    While Broderick’s cars were moving, the car that Broderick was, the tire of it screehed hard making all


    escorts to pause their cars.


    “Didn’t you check the fucking car before taking it out,” Broderick screamed on his head of guard who was


    driving. He was already


    in a bad mood


    He stepped out, same with the driver and all his escorts, the guards gathered around the car trying to


    find what was wrong and


    Broderick suddenly sighted and rover parked on the other side of the road. It was that samend rover


    he saw at Amy’s old


    apartment the day he went to see who had newly upied Amy’s apartment. He set his eyes keenly on


    it and a few seconds after thendrover had packed, the door opened and a tall figure appeared.


    “Michael!” Broderick eximed as he watched his brother standing behind the door of his car. The other


    side of the car opened and another figure appeared, it was until the figure came to stand beside Michael


    that Broderick was able to see clearly. The woman beside Michael was putting on a shade and she


    looked exactly like Amy. Even her facial features was like that of Amy. Broderick’s heart skipped. He


    watched as Michael whispered some words gently to the woman then they both began to approach him.


    This was the first time that Broderick will have his heart shaken because of someone’s presence.


    “Broderick!” Michael called calmly after he got before him but he didn’t even spare his brother a nce at


    all. His gaze was particrly fixed on the woman with shade.


    “Hi, Mr. Broderick,” the woman suddenly spoke, it almost sent Broderick’s heart sprawling off his chest.


    What was going on? Was he hallucinating or what? Wasn’t the woman standing before him Amy?


    “Broderick! For how long do we act like strangers?” Michael asked him.


    Broderick shot him an angry look and asked, “You are not supposed to be back yet in North Hill


    ording to the family’smand,


    you know that?”


    “Of course, I do. But both of our fathers are dead. We are the ruling mogule now,” Michael said.


    “Not me and You!” Broderick shot him a disgusting look. Eventhough they are both from the Alessandro’s


    family, they both had a secrete contention that they can’t disclose to anyone outside of the Alessandro’s


    family. It was this contention that made the family send Michael out of NorthHill to continue schooling.


    “Who is this woman?” Broderick pointed at the woman standing beside him. “My personal assistant, Mrs.


    Cleo,” Michael responded.


    Broderick observed her even more, if not that he had seen the dead body of Amy a few minutes ago, he


    would have forcefully


    remove the shade that covered her eyes.


    Perhaps, she only has the same resemnce as Amy.


    “I heard of the death of your mistress, Mr. Broderick. I hope you findfort soon,” she said. “Thank


    you,” Broderick replied her and then said to Michael,” what are you here for?”


    “We were just passing by and saw that your car had fault, as a brother, I decided to stop by in concern,”


    Michael said.


    “You can leave, my men will handle it. Thanks for your concern,” Broderick doesn’t like to see Michael at


    all. He darted his face back at the woman beside him and asked,” can I have a moment with you?” Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Sure, Mr. Broderick,” the woman said and walked with Broderick towards a quiet ce.


    Broderick stood before her for a while and requested,” can you take your shade off?”


    “No, please. I have my reasons. You called me over here for a reason, right?”


    Broderick felt like his head was about to blow off, the more she speaks is the more she sounded like


    Amy. Were some people trying to y games on him? He grabbed her hand all of a sudden and pulled


    her closer, he swiftly buried his head on her shoulder and when he perceived her scent, it was like that of


    Amy,


    “Mr Broderick, what sort of molestation is this?” Amy asked, all this while, she had been struggling to free


    herself but he was stronger than her


    “Ase you so heartless that you don’t even care about your kids anymore? Trying to make me beleive you


    are dead for whatever silly reason,” Broderick said,


    “Excuse me!” The woman eximed, feigning ignorance. “I think the death of your wife has really


    affected you, I should take my leave.* Amy said and turned,


    “If you leave, you will never get to see your kids again,” Broderick threatened but the woman simply


    walked back to Michael.


    Was she not really Amy? Broderick thought and by the time he turned to where Michael was, he saw that


    their car had already driven off.


    Was this a dream? Was Amy trying to hurt him intentionally? She had said she wasn’t going to forgive


    him unless he fell in love with her. Was this her way or torturing him? Or was she actually dead?


    Broderick was very confused and was very suspicious of miss Cleo, Michael’s personal assistant.


    Once Michael started driving, Amy who had pretended as Cleo few minutes back spoke,” he is smart. He


    almost find out.”


    “Isn’t that what you want? Letting him almost finding out the truth but never finding the truth,” Michael


    said.


    Michael had told the head of guard to pretend as though Broderick’s car break down in the middle of the


    road so that Amy can reveal herself to Broderick.


    Sa


    Since the gigolo; who was the only person who could convince the mayor that Edith was a bitch who


    wasn’t loyal to him but was merely after his money, who could also convince the mayor that Amy was his


    biological daughter turned out to be dead, Amy knew she had no choice but to fall back to Broderick. It’s


    only Broderick who can help now. .


    But for Broderick to help, he has to fall in love with her. Didn’t they say love is blind? If Broderick falls in


    love with her, he may


    blindly do whatever he wants.


    Amy knew that for her family and Broderick to beleive she’s truly dead, they have to see her dead body


    so with the help of Michael, they found a dead female body and covered it’s face with a facial skin mask


    that looked exactly like hers. This was why she could now appear before Broderick fearlessly.


    “Mr. Michael, you have only granted a request out of the two requests I made, implying that I’m not


    obligated to do what you


    want, right?” She asked. “If you think I didn’t deserve a reward for helping you find the Gigolo who


    revealed the hidden truth to you, then fine,” Michael said. Amy could discern the hidden meaning of his


    words and then said, “I won’t like to take advantage of you. Indeed, you have helped.


    So tell me what you want in return?”


    “Did you really want to pay me back my help to you?” Michael asked, nced at her and continued


    driving.


    ‘Sure and don’t worry, after now, I’ll not ask for your help again. We can both be on own own,” she said.


    “Alright. I’ll make my request known at the right time,” Michael said.


    Why not now? I’m really curious,” Amy demanded.


    “Please don’t pressure me, miss Amy. My request is notplicated at all. I’ll make my demand known


    at the right time,” he said, this time, his car had pulled over before Amy’s house.


    Before Amy stepped down, she said,” okay, whenever you are ready to make your request known, you


    can tell me. But please stop stalking me and stay away from me from now henceforth.” . “Is that what you


    want?” Michael asked, now looking at her gently. “Yes, please.”


    “Then you have my word,” Michael said after which Amy stepped down and walked inside her apartment.


    She sunk into her bed with a heavy heart, she had missed her kids so much. She was supposed to meet


    with the kids at the beach few days back but Michael informed her that Broderick’s men will find out so


    she had to postpone it.


    She was tired of talking with her children on video call, she needs to see them, touch them, y with


    them. A week without them is already like hell. Yet, she needs Broderick’s love and pretending to be


    dead and making him miss her greatly and at the same time, getting him confused about whether she is


    dead or not is the only method that can break his rigid and cold heart.


    A knocknded on her door all of a sudden and before she could even stand to see who was at the door,


    the door opened and a


    majestic and noble figure appeared.


    “Mr. Broderick?” Amy almost choked to death on seeing him.
