Chapter 74
Chapter 74 Please, ept My flowers
Nell ignored Martha’s question and said to him,” Mr. Ba, it’s so much of an honour to meet with you. I’m
the firstdy of the Alessandro’s family. ” Nell paused, expecting the man to say something but he just
kept mute, so she continued,” Broderick Alessandro, my godson was the reason behind ourpany’s
fall. He’s full of himself and sees himself as god. Hence, he made a lot of enemies. He does not know
how to be civil.”
“What’s the point?” Ba asked harshly.
“I’m saying that although we have lost everything and will soon be the ridicule of the society, my
second godson, Michael Alessandro is working hard to take thepany up to where it use to be. So I’ll
like for your family and mine to be friends,” Nell said.
“If you want your family be friend with me, bring Broderick Alessandro here and let him bow before me,
then I’ll consider your request,” Ba said..
“That wouldn’t be a problem. Broderick is a useless nonentity now, he would do anything in his capacity
for our family to be friend with you,” Nell said. i
Nell had reasoned that as long as her family is in good terms with Ba, the new most powerful man in
North Hill, then no one would be able to ridicule or bully the Alessandro’s family.
The mayor coughed nervously and said,” Mr. Ba, thanks for giving us the chance to meet with you. With
the little research I make
about you, I don’t think you have a woman with you, I may be wrong,” The mayor said. Hoping that Ba
doesn’t get angry.
“So?” Ba asked.
“Erm…this beautiful daughter of mine is a virgin and doesn’t have any boyfriend. I would like to give her
to you, if that pleases you, Mr. Ba,” Carlton said.
Ba nced at Martha who tried to hide her face from this ugly and scary man.
“I’m not interested in her,” Ba said, making Martha let out a thankful sigh of relief.
“Erm…Mr. Ba, would you at least grace my birthday then? It’s happening in seven days time?” Carlton
asked. He quickly added,
“Please, sir.”
“I won’te. It’s time to leave,” he said, stood and walked away from them.
The people seated in the living room looked at themselves in surprise. “godmother, this man is too strict?
He looks too impossible to reach,” Carlton let out in frustration. “As long as he has blood and water
running through him, we’ll get him. Let’s leave,” Nell said and stood. Others stood and walked
out with her.
Ba stood before his mirror with a very stern and harsh gaze, “a better time to fish out whom my real
enemies are,” he said to himself then pulled away the ugly and scarred mask off his face.
“My name is Broderick Alessandro. I’ll forever remain the most powerful man in North Hill,” Ba said very
strongly and powerfully. Ba is Broderick Alessandro. He had been a genius every since he was young,
he learnt coding at a very young age and had helped manypanies develop a website but beyound
that, he had built a world popr digital product that waspeting with the likes of Facebook and
Instagram.
However, he hid his identity as the owner of the sessful digital product. He used the money earned
from it to build the biggestpanies in neighboring cities and after he became the heir to the
Alessandro’s familypany, he worked hard to skyrocket the annual profit and he immediately began
to make foreign connection and establishing super megapanies in many continents. As of now, he
has built the most sessfulpanies in four continents.
However, he was using a different name. Truth was, he already made his wealth even before he became
the heir to the
Alessandro’s familypany. Of course, loosing Alessandro’s corporation was a loss butpared to
his actualworth, he had barely loss one percent of his money.
But this wasn’t all about Broderick Alessandro. He was called the god of war for a reason. He’s too
mysterious a man.
He felt greatly dissapointed in Nell whom he regarded as his godmother and trusted dearly. The way he
was painting him was as though he was ipetent, yet, he has literally doubled the Alessandro’s
company annual revenue and donates a percentage of
the annual ie of thepany to the ount of every members of the Alessandro’s family home
and abroad.
He wondered when Nell get close to the mayor’s family. His phone beeped and he went to pick it up,
seeing Brett, he answered
the call and said, “Brett, what’s the matter?”
“There is and rover that just park before Miss. Cleo’s apartment, I’m guessing it may be for…”
“…Michael,” Broderick interrupted. “I’ll be on my way,” Broderick said and walked out of the mansion.
This time, he didn’t cover himself with a mask.
In a jiffy, he parked behind thend rover and stepped out of it.
He suddenly sighted Michael standing before Amy’s door. He walked towards the door and when Amy
saw him, Amy’s stern face
immediately turned into a smiling one,” Mr. Broderick, wee.”
“Thank you, Miss. Cleo. Can Ie in?” Broderick asked.
“Sure.” Amy responded to Broderick and turned to Michael, “Mr. Michael, I guess we would see some
other time and please, don’t
come to my house unannounced again,” Amy said.
When Broderick was about to take a step in, Michael grabbed his shirt roughly and pulled him very
harshly.
“What! Mr. Michael, what are you doing?” Amy asked in shock.
Michael ignored her and said to Broderick, “Are you aware that someone else is now the most powerful
man in North Hill? You
don’t have any respect anymore hence, you can even be bullied by a third ss citizen of our city”.
Broderick looked at Michael’s hand that was folding his tailored suit and shirt and said, “I know that. But
the question is, why are
you holding me roughly?”
Amy felt pityful for Broderick when he said those words. The news had also reached her that a scarred
and ugly man has
emerged as the new most powerful man in North Hill and his wealth and power was beyound the
extraordinary making Broderick to be amoner.
“Mr. Michael, please stop bullying Mr. Broderick …just because he’s no longer the most powerful man in
our city doesn’t mean you should treat him this way,” Amy said and tried to remove Michael’s hand from
Broderick’s cloth.
Michael loved how Amy’s hand was on his while she was trying to withdraw his hand from Broderick’s
cloth so he pulled his hand
away and said to him,” The new most powerful man in North Hill, Ba… and I are friends. Infact, I was the
reason why he rose to
power. He does whatever I want at mymand. Broderick, I’m warning you, don’t dare me or you will
suffer greatly.”
Broderick immediately expressed fear, “Oh my! Ba is your friend? Hahaha ..I’m crying.” Broderick was
being sarcastic.
‘If only this idiot knows that he’s Ba, he won’t be standing here shamelessly lying,’ Broderick thought to
himself. “You think this is a joke, right? I already worked my way into ensuring that all your foreign
ounts are freezed, if you make me angry, I’ll ensure that all the local banks freeze your ount too
then you will return to penury,” Michael threatened. “Why exactly are you angry? I’m the one who is
supposed to be angry with you for the pain that you and your father caused me, yet you are acting like a
nuisance over here,” Broderick said.
“I need you to stay away from Miss. Cleo. As long as you do that, I’ll spare you from my anger and let
you live a simple life,”
Michael warned.
“Oh! So my appearance here is what is making you angry?” Broderick chuckled and looked at his shirt
that was now rough. He felt so much anger that he felt like punching him in the face and bringing his men
to bury him alive but he tamed his anger.
First, he wasn’t ready to reveal himself as Ba and secondly, it’s not yet time to avenge what Michael and
his father did to him in the past
Mr. Michael, why are you being so aggresive? It should be my choice to choose whom I want. Did you
think I will even choose you
with this aggresively behavior of yours?” Amy asked Michael.
Im not aggressive, Miss, Cleo, I’m only aggressive to this nonentity. He knows about the pain he caused
my father and I in the
past. Some things are better not said but we both know it. The pain is what is making me act aggresively
to him.” Michael said
with a deep and painful gaze.
Amy became confused, who exactly hurts who? She wished she knew about the contention the two
brothers had when they were
young. “I came back to North Hill for two reasons. The first is to make you mine, Miss. Cleo, the second
reason is to avenge the pain this nuisance caused my father and I in the past. This was why I made him
loose his power,” Michael said and then whispered to Amy, * pleasee over to A resturant tomorrow,
VVIP longue, table 4, I’ll be there,” Michael withdrew his head and was now smiling.
He looked at Broderick with a demanding look then walked away.
Amy sighed and gestured for Broderick to walk in. Once Broderick walked in, he sat majestically and
crossed his legs.
“Can I serve you with something?” Amy asked.
“Yes, but not food nor drink. Not water neither,” he responded.
“Oh! What else can I serve you with?” She asked.
Broderick stood and gestured for her toe over, Amy walked over to him and he said,” your lips!”
Amy was shocked and took few steps back, she shook her head and said,” there is no romantic
rtionship between us, yet.”
Broderick smiled, “who says?” He pulled her closer and almost lock his lips on hers, the lips was just
inches apart but Broderick
withdrew and went to sit.
“You are right, we are not in a romantic rtionship, yet.” Broderick said and Amy sighed and went to sit.
“Did you think I will be offended if you kiss me?”
“That wasn’t why I stopped. Miss. Cleo, I stopped because I think there is no reason to rush. You will be
mine forever anyways,” Broderick said.
“Excuse me?”
Broderick sighed and said, “should I get you guards that can help you chase Michael away whenever he
comes?”
“Mr. Broderick. Did you hear what Michael said? He’s a friend to Ba! At this time, you can’t afford to
offend him. Please, I don’t want him to hurt you,” Amy said concernedly.
Broderickughed inside of him, “you don’t have to worry about me.”
How can I not worry about the man I love? Amy thought and said,” Mr. Broderick, Michael seems very
desperate to have me and he’s not taking ‘no’ for an answer. But please don’t interfere, I’ll handle it. I
don’t love him so don’t worry, I can never be his.”
“Mr. Broderick, now that yourpany is gone, did you have a new n?” Amy asked.
“Thepany didn’t just get burnt, the fact that it stopped operating abruptly sent us to bankrupt. We are
owing many investors,
Broderick said,
“Oh my? I’m so sorry, I really wish there is a way I can help,” Amy said.
Broderick brought out a card from his suit pocket and stretched it to her, Amy stood from her seat and
received it, she opened the card while standing and it reads,” Miss. Cleo, you are the most beautiful and
pleasant woman I have ever set my eyes on. – Broderick.”
Amy blushed after reading it and the next minute, she saw Broderick kneeling down with one of his
knees. He brought out a
small but beautiful flower from his suit and presented it to her,” please ept it.”
Amy’s heart melted, she happily epted it and helped him up after which she hugged him dearly.
She pulled back and looked at his face to be sure this person was really Broderick, Broderick knelt
before her and presented a flower to her? Was she dreaming? When did he became this humble and
sweet? Or was he humble now because he had just los everything?Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
