Chapter 75


    Chapter 75 Leave North Hill


    Amy walked inside A resturant, straight up to the VVIP longue, when the guards standing by the door


    saw her, they checked the picture that Michael had given to them and confirming that she was the one


    that Michael was waiting for, they let her in.


    Amy.walked straight to ‘table 4,’ Michael could be seeing smiling as he watched her walked towards him.


    He adored her beauty


    and her awesome choice of cloth.


    “Please sit,” Michael gestured gentlemanly and Amy sat. “You are wee, Amy,” Michael said. “Thank


    you,” Amy said. Amy had onlye over here for the purpose of Broderick. She was worried that


    Michael may hurt Broderick the more if she didn’te. Since Michael seem not to be capable of hurting


    her, then he would hurt Broderick, most definitely cause he will think that Broderick was the person who


    didn’t let her honour his invite. Amy thought that Broderick had lost so much, she didn’t want him to loose


    even more. “You look amazing,” Michael said.


    “Thank you,” Amy said. She kind of felt ufortable over here. Michael then stretched over the


    resturant magazine that


    contained the list of food that they have.


    “Actually, I am not hungry. My purpose here is because you have something to discuss with me, right?”


    Amy asked, trying not to sound rude.


    “Mi Ami,” Michael called the pet name he was found of calling hed lovingly,” you seem not be happy


    being here, I can see it in


    your face.”


    “That’s right,” Amy didn’t see any reason to pretend. “Amy, I love you when we were young. I love you


    now that we are adult in the same measure. Needful to say I have not been able to find any woman that


    my heart beats for except from you,” Michael said.


    Amy smirked,” there are thousands of women in North Hill, there are millions of women in the world yet


    you can’t find anyone, huh? See…we are grown ups and we should understand and respect our choices.


    I am not even arguing with the fact that we may be childhood lovers but just because we are childhood


    lovers doesn’t necessarily mean that we must end up together. I mean…not everyone ends up with their


    first love.”. “I know that and I know that your heart is probably with someone else… Broderick, I guess.


    But from my research, I have realized that Broderick had caused you nothing but pain in the past, how


    can you even fall in love with that type of man? Listen, whoeveres closer to Broderick always


    experience pain. It’s his ill fate to cause people closer to him pain,” Michael said.


    “Broderick caused me pain in the past out of ignorance but actually, he has been trying to make up for it.


    And Mr. Michael, I have


    six kids for him…”


    *1 know that too, but must we end up with someone just because we have kids for them? I can take care


    of the kids and father them i’m capable of that. Broderick had lost everything and there are many


    investors on his neck asking for their money and threatening him. He will either end up in jail for not been


    able to pay the investor’s money or he will be left with no choice but to leave North Hill. Broderick doesn’t


    have a future,” Michael said. *This is 100 much on Broderick. You are the one who made him lost


    everything. Well, he may loose everything but at least, he didn’t loose me and he didn’t loose the kids,”


    Amy said. “The kids are ny percent of his world and I beleive that Broderick will nise back to power.”


    “lo his next life,” Michael replied immediately,” have you read theworth of Ba? The wealth and asset


    of that man… No one in


    our city has ever attain that level of wealth,” Michael said.


    Amy sighed, M. Michael, please stop stressing yourself to win me over cause it will never work.”


    Michael sighed, he had predicted that Amy will be adamant so he called,” Amy,” his voice was low and


    soft while he kept looking


    into her pretty eyes affectionately, “Lately, we made an agreement that if I helped you, you will grant my


    only request.”


    Amy immediately regretted why she entered into such an agreement. When she first saw Michael, he


    didn’t present himself to


    Unapiti voltart IVUTU. her like someone who had feelings for her so she thought that whatever request


    he will make will be outside of love issues.


    What’s the request.” Amy asked with a straight gaze. She had so many guesses alreadying to her


    head but she hoped that he wouldn’t be so petty to ask for what she’s guessing.


    “Marry me.” Amy: “…” A long moment of silence swept the atmosphere clean, not even a sound of pin


    would have been heard. The both of them had their face set squarely on themselves. “It’s an agreement,


    a promise you made to me,” Michael broke the silence between them. “You have to fulfil it, Amy.” “Can


    you ask for something else?” “That’s the only thing I ever wanted.” Michael said and added,” And don’t


    worry about your kids, okay? I promise to show them even more love and affection than their father is


    showing them.” “Can I give you a responseter. I wasn’t expecting this kind of request even in my


    weirdest imagination,” Amy said.


    “Sure.”


    Amy carried her small golden handbag and said,” I’ll take my leave. Bye, Mr. Michael.” She said and


    walked away.


    Broderick had received a call from Nell two days ago for him toe over to the Alessandro’s mansion


    and he had told her that


    he wasn’t himself cause of the loss of the family’spany that just happened and that he woulde


    two dayster,


    He stepped out from his car and walked inside the Alessandro’s mansion. As soon as he appeared in the


    living room, he did not only see Nell but also saw Michael.


    He maintained his indifferent look and greeted Nell,” godmother.”


    “Sit down,” Nell said harshly. She didn’t even wee him like he used to


    Broderick expressed a surprising look and sat slowly,” godmother, is anything the matter?”


    “Broderick, how can you be so careless to let our familypany get ruined?” Nell rebuked.


    Broderick looked at Michael with a questioning look as if asking if he didn’t tell Nell that he was the one


    who burnt down the


    company.


    “Mother, are you not aware of the person behind the destruction of thepany?”


    “Of course, I am. You are the one who is behind the destruction of thepany,” with the way Nell was


    speaking, it was obvious Michael hid the fact that he burnt down the family’spany from Nell.


    “Broderick, our family is about to be the biggest mockery in the history. A mysterious man named


    Ba had emerged as the new most powerful man in North Hill. His wealth is beyound the extraordinary.


    I’m guessing you must have read about him,” Amy


    said.


    “I have read about him. But mother, I’m starting to do everything in my capacity to build a newpany. I


    know it’s not easy, but please give me time, “Broderick pleaded.


    “Even if you use three life times to build hepanies you want to build, you can never attain that


    position of the most powerful person in NorthHill again. The person upying that position has so much


    wealth. Broderick, you have to make up for the pain you caused our family,” Nell said, “I will do whatever


    is in my capacity to make up for the family. And mother, I am so sorry for the loss. It’s all my fault for not


    being careful,” Broderick said, “Well,” Amy rxed back to the chair. “I met with the most powerful man in


    North Hill by luck and I asked for him to be friends with our family. He said he can only be friend with our


    family under one condition…” Amy paused.


    “Oh! Ba is willing to be friend with our family? That’s so kind of him. It will really help to keep us in the


    first ss citizen of the country. Infact, with Ba being friend with us, it will be impossible for any family in


    Nort Hill to bully us,” Broderick said.


    “It’s a good thing you know that. The condition that Ba gave us is that you have toe over to his


    mansion and bow to him,” Nell said


    Broderick expressed shock, with a furrowed brow, he eximed,” what!”


    “You heard me and you have to. This is the only way for you to make up for the loss you have caused


    our family,” Nell said.


    “Mother, I can not do that. How can I, who was the most powerful man in North Hill bow for Ba? That Ba


    must be full of himself. Did he think he’s a god?” Broderick expressed anger.


    “Broderick, if you don’t do that then you have to stop bearing our surname. We will cast you out of our


    family and take everything you have from you then ensure you sleep on the street. This is what we can


    do, you know this?” Nell asked.


    “Mother, why are you talking like this? How can you even want to do this to me?” Broderick lowered his


    head as if crying.


    “You worth nothing anymore. You don’t have any pride. The earlier you realize that you worth just as the


    poor man begging on the street, the better for you,” she said.


    “Mother!”


    “Do what I said or face the consequence.”


    “Or…” Michael intercepted. “If you think that is too hard, there is something else you can do, then we will


    see if we will pardon you.”


    Broderick set his attention on Michael but didn’t say a word.


    Michael smirked and continued, “I have demanded Miss. Cleo’s hand in marriage and she is obligated to


    grant my request because of the agreement we had made. But studying her, I noticed she seem to have


    some secret feelings for you. With you around, I’m worried that you won’t let my marriage with Miss. Cleo


    be a glorious one, hence, I want you to leave NorthHill and never return.”


    “What!” Broderick eximed,” how can you be so cruel to think of sending me out of my city?” “Michael,


    being friend with Ba is more important, Or did you have a n? We won’t benefit anything if Broderick


    leaves the city. I think he should stay here to suffer the consequences of his action,” Nell said. Broderick


    was surprised to see the two talking evenly. These two; Nell and Michael use to be cat and dog in the


    past. Infact, Michael’s father once pped Nell in a family meeting, that’s how much Michael and his


    father hated Nell yet they seem to have


    solve their differences I’m a short period of time.


    “Ba is my friend,” Michael said proudly.


    “You say what?” Nell asked, her voice loud. She reacted in that way cause she had seen this majestic


    personality called Ba before


    yet her godson was saying this man was his friend.


    “Mum, you seem not to know how powerful I am. Without me, it will be impossible for Ba to be the


    most powerful man in North Hill. Mother, just join hands with me and let us send this nuisance, who has


    ruined our family’sbor from North Hill then I Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    will tell Ba to invite you to a special dinner,” Michael boasted.


    “Oh my!” Nell stood and went to Michael, she caressed his hair and said,” I don’t know that you are this


    powerful. You are such a


    jewel You have proven to be a better son than Broderick,” Nell said.


    Ca


    “Mum, are you really saying this? How can speak to me this way just because I worth nothing now?”


    Broderick asked with a pitifu look. “I’m the son of your twin sister yet you can’t even stand by me in trying


    times like this.” Broderick’s pitiful face became even


    more ring,” I have doubled the familypany’s revenue ever since I took over and this is all I stand


    to get?”

    “Shut your poverty stinking mouth up,” Nell said, “you have fallen from the most powerful man in North


    Hill to our family puppet. I give you forty eight hours to leave NorthHill, I will have people watch and


    confirm that you have truly left, Otherwise, I will cause so much pain that you will wish you were not


    born.” Michael shot Broderick a scornful look,” get out!” “I will teach you people a painful lesson,’


    Broderick thought angrily as he stood, he began to fake tears,” I feel so sad… I wish my mother was


    alive, she would have stood by me” He faked tears as he walked out of the Alessandro’s mansion.
