Chapter 39
A Hard Punch In The Cheek
Amy furrowed her brow in shock. She have seen her father shown indifferent attitude towards the abuse that Martha and Edith inflicted on her in the past, but she had never been abused directly by her father. But today, her own father slapped her because of the daughter of a mistress.
“Dad, you slapped me?” She asked. Was it not her who honour his call few months ago and even agree to enter into the mysery arranged marriage that she was at the moment. Yet he slapped her.
“You slapped me for your mistress’s daughter?” She asked with a broken heart. Amy’s mother was his legal wife, but it was after her mother died that she found out that her father had kept a secret mistress all these years and what’s worse, he even brought them home to live with him. Carlton was not as rich as the Alessandro’s family but he was the Mayor of the city and hence, was influential. He was regarded as a king and adored and treated like one. Amy was supposed to have the perfect and most enjoyable life seeing how influential her father was in NorthHill but her father stopped prioritizing her but rather prioritized his mistress and her daughter.
“Carlton, you shouldn’t have slapped her. She probably slapped Martha out of anger and frustration,” Edith said. It was during this period that the ambulance came, Martha who was pretending to be unconscious was suddenly transported to the ambulance and carried away. “Don’t call me dad ever again. Infact, I should just tell you the truth now, you are never my biological daughter. Martha is my biological daughter. Leave now and never return to my house ever again,” Carlton was angry that Amy came to his house and before she could even enter, she had already caused trouble. Amy felt like a sharp knife peirced into her heart as she heard her father speak. What was her father trying to say? That her mother has a child for another man or? Was he trying to call her mother is a cheat. She struggled so much not to let the tears in her eyes fall off, she turned from her father and his mistress and began to walk away, if she tries to say any more word, the tears she had been holding would fall. As soon as she tumed from them, tears started pouring from her face like pregnant cloud emptying rains. She had barely taken few steps when the rain began to fall heavily. She looked around for where she could hide but there was no place. She turned back to her father’s house and saw that the door had been locked. She had come here to challenge her stepsister and ask why she was trying to hurt her and make her look like a cheat before Broderick but she wasn’t even allowed to take a step inside her father’s house and what’s worst, her father who had never laid hands on her slapped her.
Not knowing where she could hide, she decided to see if she can find a taxi that will take her home. She was going through so much pain at the moment. She wasn’t even allowed to see her children. She began to saunter towards the street despite the heavy rain beating her. Her clothes were wet and she was literally gnashing her teeth in pain. The fact that her father does not care about the rain beating her hurts her to the gut, the intensity of the rain increased and she allowed more tears fell from her eyes. Her heart was so heavy that she leaned by a pole and almost squatted there.
While in her devastating state, a black land rover packed before her. Once she set her eyes on the tinted window of the glass, she wondered if this was Broderick, the tinted window slide down and she saw Mike inside the car.
“Come in,” Mike said from inside the car, “No,” Amy responded. He just exposed himself as his enemy yet he showed up as if trying to save her. Even if he saved her, he must have other odd purposes. Did he really think she would be foolish to step inside the car just because the rain was heavily pouring on her
Mike pushed the door open and stepped down, he walked over to her and didn’t mind the rain beating him at all,” Yes, I
want revenge for my brother but I can do that without hurting you.” “How else do you plan on revenging for your brother without hurting me? Stop pretending like a …” she gnashed her t as a result of the cold ,” like a sheep when in fact you are a woll.”
– Chapter 39 A Hard Punch In The Cheek Mike smirked, “If I want to hurt you, I would have when you come to my house. Please come inside my car.” “Listen Mike, stay away from me and tell your girlfriend to stay away from me too,” she said and carried her heavy legs away from him. “There is no taxi around, how long can you endure the cold, you will fall sick,” Mike said as he walked beside her. “It’s better to fall sick than to enter my enemy’s car. You do realize that it was Callan who was wrong, right? He cheated on me in the past and tried to steal my kids away from me yet you are seeking for revenge, how pathetic,” Amy said angrily “My brother never stopped loving you, getting the kids from you was an attempt to force you to come back to him,” he said.
