Broderick was busy in his study room when he heard a knock on the door. His study room was also in the mansion, who dared to knock on the door of his study room? He though to himself. Could it be that woman? He stood angrily and walked over to the door. Everyone in the mansion, even his mother‘s, know better not to disturb him whenever he‘s at his study room no matter how urgent it was. He opened the door and saw a young and handsome boy who surprisingly looked like him. The boy shouted,” I found him.” Broderick was surprised at what the boy said but before he knew what was happening, another boy appeared , then another young boy, then three girls at the same time making them six in total. These little ones are for Nell, what are they doing around his study room? How did they even get here? He frowned and wanted to chase them away but he suddenly remembered the very day that one of the boys called Nell aunt and asked for their mother. Was this not the perfect time to ask these little ones question. Amy had gone to Nell‘s room but Nell was sleeping at the time yet the kids were not in the room, whereas, Elizabeth told her that Nell came with the kids few minutes ago and she had excitedly went to check the children there only to be dissapointed. Amy began to search for them around the big mansion thinking that they may have taken advantage of the fact that Nell slept and were playing around the mansion. She surprisingly saw them after four minutes of searching gathered before a room, while walking quickly and happily towards them, she sighted a tall figure before them. Seeing that it was Broderick, she hide quickly behind a door and guard her heart that almost fall off her chest. ‘That was close,‘ she mumbled. But why did the children went to Broderick‘s place? Was that even his room? “Come in,” Broderick decided to welcome the six kids and they walked in carelessly. Despite the fact that Broderick‘s face was scary, the kids were not scared at all. Infact, once they entered, they all find a perfect position to sit for themselves. They were all seated majestically. Did this little ones know they are in the study room of the most powerful man in NorthHill? Broderick thought to himself. He had never seen any one who dared have to the gut to enter his office not to talk of sitting majestically without him telling them to sit. Amy was shocked that Broderick let the kids entered the room, she tiptoed towards his study room and saw that the door wasn‘t fully locked, she peeped and saw the six kids scattered across the office, infact, some were already playing with some files, pens, flowers and just whatever they find their eyes
on
Would he be cruel to his own children too? Amy wondered and decided to watch. Afterall, there was nothing she could do.
Broderick sat and the entire study room now looked as if a family meeting was about to be done, “so... can I know your names?”
“Can you tell us your name first, big uncle?” Moses asked quickly, taking Broderick aback. Are these
Promise – kids not scared of their own life anymore? How can they speak to him in such manner. “Big uncle does not smile,” Queen whispered to Angel but it was audible enough for everyone in the room to laugh. “Maybe someone hurts him,” Angel whispered back to Queen. These little ones even have the gut to gossip about him. Where is their fear? He looked around the six kids with an even stronger look and expect them to be scared but what Elijah said next left him stupefied,” big uncle doesn‘t like to talk too much, otherwise, he would have answer us.”
“Big uncle has forgotten his name, let him think about it,” Elisha said and Broderick almost stood and throw this children out. Nell really did a poor job in raising this fearless kids. How can they have the gut to speak to him in such manner? His eyes suddenly fell on the silent one, that was Debbie. She was not saying a word and was sitting in a different seat from the rest. Her look was lean and one could tell that she was an introvert and clearly not as outspoken as the rest but she kind of look sad or did he misjudge her appearance? Broderick wondered.

was watching the kids and their father from the little space of the door was shocked to the gut that Broderick mentioned his name to the kids. Really? She had thought he would throw them out roughly? Turns out he may not be as wicked and heartless as he protrays himself to be. “I love big uncle‘s name,” Elijah said to Moses. “My name is Elijah,” Elijah shouted happily and threw his two hands up in the air. “And I, Moses,” Moses jumped up from the chair and screamed. “My name is Elisha,” Elisha also stood from the seat and screamed. The boys looked at eachother and laughed, to them, they were just having fun. No one has ever dared to

fell into a pin drop silence as though all the kids were willing to hear his sincere response. Indeed, they all set their attention on him keenly. Broderick stood from Debbie‘s sight when he heard a sound from the door, it was as though someone or something collided with the door, he walked towards the door and stepped out, he looked
