F*cking Michael!
Broderick was quiet for a few seconds after her request then he asked,” can we meet, please?”.
“Erm… probably not now but once I’m less busy, I’ll let you know,” Amy said. It wasn’t as though Amy had anything she was doing, she just doesn’t want to be too available for him.
“Alright,” Broderick didn’t persuade her to let them meet at all. ‘Being civil with her will make her feel comfortable around him’ Broderick thought. They baded themselves bye after which Broderick dropped his phone back to the bed.
Two days to the wedding, Theresa could be seen alongside her mothers and her father in the most luxurious shopping mall in
NorthHill. Only the first class citizen of North Hill were known to shop here.
They were all in the section of the mall that has different wedding gowns, there was a particular wedding gown whose design
was outside of this world. It was so glaring that this type of wedding dress was most definitely a limited edition and one that any random rich people can not just buy even if they have the money to.
“Dad, I want that,” Theresa pointed at the extraordinary designed wedding gown. The mayor alongside Edith and Nell all had a happy face. They were so glad that their daughter will be having a public wedding with the most powerful man in North Hill. Who would not be happy? 1 The mayor merrily walked towards the wedding gown and said to Edith,” this is indeed very beautiful.” “Yes, it’s outstandingly beautiful. Our daughter has a sharp eyes,” Edith blushed. Nell smiled faintly as she watched the husband and wife discussed. She had also examined the wedding gown and realized that it was a limited editon and by far the best amidst all the wedding gowns there.
“Hey!” The mayor called one of the attendant of the mall and she walked quickly towards him. “Sir, it’s an honour to meet with you. What type would you love to take, sir?” She questioned.
“This,” the mayor pointed proudly. Needful to say that Nell had announced yesterday that Theresa was having a grand wedding
with the most powerful in North Hill, hence, every single soul in North Hill were aware of the wedding and were anticipating for it.
Eventhough many people knew that they may not be able to attend as the seats will be reserved for specially invited guests alone, they hoped in the Alessandro’s first lady, Nell, who assure them that they will be able to stream it on TV. So, it’s more like
a global wedding.
“Oh…this, it’s a limited editon, sir. It has been paid for,” the attendant said.
The mayor smiled,” I’m not sure you know whom we are. Did you know this woman here is the Alessandro’s first lady and I’m the mayor of this city? Who else could have bought this wedding gown?”
“I’m buying this for my daughter in law. Bring it out,” Nell commanded. She doesn’t give a fuck about who has paid for it before. “Ma, the person who bought this is also in the mall,” the attendant said. *Bring the person here now. Whom could she be!” The mayor exclaimed angrily and the attendant quickly walked away.
“What if Broderick sees us this way, won’t he be suspicious? Cause he would be wondering what connection Theresa has with the
Mayor’s family,” Theresa asked worriedly,
Nell smirked, “what will Broderick come to do here? He has no one he shops for and his clothes and shoes gets delivered to him monthly by the best designers in the city so literally, he won’t have any reason to come here.” Nell was so sure.
*Plus we can easily lie that the mayor and I were just accomplice to Mrs. Nell and Theresa since both families are in a good
relationship,” Edith said,

That’s right,” Nell said, “So Theresa, don’t worry, okay? As long as I’m alive, everything will work as planned. Broderick still trust
me and I’ll forever be his godmother, so there is really nothing to worry about.” Theresa heaved 8 sigh of relief and they all waited patiently for the attendant to appear with the person who bought the limited edition gown
The attendant appeared a few seconds later and the person who appeared behind her made Nell, Edith, Theresa and the mayor

furrowed their brows in shock.
If not that they were four in number and this place was a public place, they would have ran away.
· “Amy!” The mayor called.
This time, Amy wasn’t wearing a shade at all. So the color of her eyes were glaring. They all became very confused and scared. If they had not seen her dead body, they would have assumed that she probably didn’t really die but just a few days ago, they saw
her dead body with their eyes. “Can’t be Amy,” Edith said as she took a step back in fear,
The mayor grabbed Edith’s wrist and whispered to her, “we can’t act like a nuisance in public, just control yourself.”
“She’s a ghost!” Theresa said fearfully. Now breathing with the presence of her parents otherwise, she could have just fainted.
“Who are you?” Nell summoned courage and asked.
“Cleo,” Amy smiled. “And may I ask who you are as well?” She feigned ignorance as if she didn’t know any of them.
Nell was utterly confused. How is it possible for this woman to look exactly like Amy. How? Just how! She resembled Amy in all
manners.
“You can ask around for who we are, they will tell you,” the mayor also summoned courage and said then pointed to the
spectacular wedding gown,” we are buying this wedding gown.” “I thought the attendant told you people I bought it already,” Amy said.
“You people?” Edith repeated what she said as though it was an insult. Of course, people of their calibre will see such words as insult. No one dared to speak to them anyhow in the entire North Hill.
“Miss. Cleo, did you know how to respect people at all? How can you refer to us as you people?” Nell asked angrily and said to the attendant,” I think you should tell this arrogant woman who we are.”
“They are…” The attendant wanted to explain but Amy waved her hand. “I don’t care who they are,” Amy said and took a step further to Theresa. Theresa quickly held onto her father and subconsciously said,” father! She’s scaring me.”
Father?
Father?
Amy’s face changed, her mood became bewildered. Since when did her father become a father to Theresa? Theresa was a citizen of South Hill and not North Hill. Why was she referring to the mayor as her father?
The mayor stood before Theresa, guarding Theresa in a protective manner,” you bitch! Whom did you think you are? Did you think you can act anyhow just because you looked like my…” He paused. “…like a bastard, a silly daughter of a gigolo,” Edith completed the mayor’s statement for him. “That’s right,” the mayor said. He himself was utterly surprised that there was someone in this world who looked exactly like his daughter. The resemblance was too much that it was driving him crazy. Amy’s heart shrank as she saw her father defend someone else who wasn’t even his daughter yet all her life, her father was indifferent of her, no matter how much she gets bullied. Even if she gets abused by her stepmother before him, he wouldn’t react as though he didn’t see it. “So you are her father?” Amy asked confidently as though she was fine. She was far from being fine. She was in pain. Theresa appeared and looked at Amy suspiciously. The question was tricky so neither of them could respond to it.
“Take your money back cause we are buying this wedding gown,” Nell said. She wanted toi get rid of this woman as soon as she could
“Of course not. There are other wedding gowns that you can choose from. Don’t even think you can bully me,” Amy said.
The mayor smirked and commanded,” guards!”
About four burly men immediately appeared behind him,” throw this silly woman out of here.”
As the guards approached Amy, a tall and handsome figure appeared. Even Amy wasn’t expecting the person who just appeared.
*Michael!” The mayor called on seeing Michael,
“I thought I told you that Miss Cleo is my personal assistant. How dare you treat her this way? Are you intentionally seeking my
anger?” Michael asked. A lot of people were already recording the scenes with their phones. These are powerful people in the country having a contention with eachother at a public mall.
“Oh! Michael, of course not. Why would I want to ruin the good relationship my family had built with yours over the years?” The
mayor asked.
Nell had heard about the presence of Michael in North Hill, but she was yet to see her face to face.
“Michael!” She called and Michael only glanced at her as if he didn’t know her, he set his gaze back on the mayor and said,
