Chapter 38

Her Father Broderick turned to her and watched as she held onto his trouser, “let me go.” “No, you are torturing me. Please, my children are my reason for living,” she pleaded with tears rushing down her cheek. “No,” he declared, “My reputation matters a lot and I don’t joke with it. Although I have not announced you to the world as my wife, I still expect for you to honour this marriage,” Broderick said and withdrew his leg from her grip. As he began to walk away, Amy felt her heart clutch together in bitterness, she hurriedly stood and followed after him. What can she do convince this man who has a heart as rigid as a stone. He was too big for her that she felt very insignificant before him. She trailed after him as he walked towards his room. He held the knob of his door and twisted it, he walked in and turned to the entran
it, he walked in and turned to the entrance then he saw Amy standing with a
weak and pitfyful face. “Please!” Amy pleaded. She knew that once he closes the door, she won’t be able to have access to him anymore,” I want to see my children. I feel empty without them.” “Did the hickeys dissapear to your neck or did you think I’m a fool?” He asked. He wasn’t hurt that she had sex with someone else, it was his ego that was hurt. He felt like his pride was trampled upon. How can a woman whom he regard as a wife for the time being go to another man to have sex with him? “When I was outside of Mike’s house and was waiting for a cab, someone srcubbed my neck with God knows what, I indeed saw the person running off but I didn’t see any reason to pursue him or her because I thought it was just an accident or maybe the person was a psycho,” she said. ‘This woman really thought she can deceive me,’ Broderick finds what she said to be really ridiculous and then slammed the door.
Amy actually felt as though the door was slammed on her heart, her heart banged heavily like it was being hit with a pestle. She cried out loud as she fell to the wall beside the door. “How would she see her children?” She thought but couldn’t think of anything solid. After crying for hours, she felt so exhausted and walked to her room in pain. She went to stand before the mirror again and examined the hickeys in her neck, whoever drew this to her neck sure had it all planned out. The marks looked exactly like an hickey. Who could be trying to set her up? First someone shot at her, now someone tried to set he up for cheating. Could it be that someone was trying to set her up?
She went to the bathroom and washed her face with water, but that didn’t make the headache she was feeling to stop neither did it reduce the pain in her heart.
She picked up her phone and called Mike, the call was almost coming to an end when Mike answered it. “I’m sorry, Amy. I just left the bathroom, are you home now?”

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know I’m fine. Why did you draw an hickey in my neck?” She asked. Although she wasn’t sure he was the one but she really couldn’t think of anyone else. No matter how much Gallan hates her, he wouldn’t try to kill her plus Callan was still in the prison. She planned on apologizing to Mike after he had refuted her accusation. However, Mike surprisingly kept quiet. She had to speak,” why are you quiet? Are you surprised I find out?” “I didn’t draw the hickeys to your neck,” he said but added three seconds later,” but I know who did.”
Amy furrowed her brow in shock, she wasn’t expecting the last statement. She was so shocked that she had to sit upright on her bed and pressed her phone on her ear so she wouldn’t miss any words of what he was about to say,
“Who is the person?” She asked, trying to hide how overly curious she was.
“Your stepsister,” he answered briefly. “Martha? How did you get to know her?” Amy asked. Wondering why Martha would be trying to set her up before Brodenck. She was never on good terms with her stepmother and her stepdaughter. They hated her from the onset and she doesn’t like them neither. Her father was always indifferent of their cruel attitude towards her when she was living
Her Father with them that was why she left and she has never regarded herself as someone who has a family.
Why would her Stepsister suddenly show up now?
“What I told you about my girlfriend and I almosty breaking up was a lie, my girlfriend and I are in good terms.”
“How does this have anything to do with my question?” Amy asked. “Martha is my girlfriend and…” He paused while Amy listened keenly, she was shocked at his first statement but then was waiting for what’s next, “Callan is my elder brother.” “The fuck!” Her head almost blew away with the revelation. Amy knew that Callan has a younger brother who was living abroad but he didn’t know his name neither did she bothered too. So Mike was his younger brother?
“You do realize that the company we met was our family’s company’s, right? Though Broderick acquired it recently but fifty percent of workers there are members of our family. I came back from abroad three years ago and started working there. After you and Broderick sent my brother to prison and even bought off our company, I asked for workers to be paired together, and that you and I should be paired together so I can take revenge on you and Broderick,” Mike said. Amy’s heart just kept beating as he heard him speak, she was dumbfounded. Mike looked very gentle and looked like one that can’t even hurt a fly. “I wanted to hide it from you for long but I thought there was no need for that anymore. But as for your stepsister, she had a different purpose, when you meet with her, you can ask her,” Mike said. “Were you the one that shot me?” She asked. “The plan is not to kill you. I wasn’t the one,” Mike answered. “I haven’t even started my revenge yet, Amy.” Then it would probably be her stepsister who tried to kill her. She can understand why Mike is seeking revenge but what in the world has she done for Martha?
