Chapter 107 A Strange Man
Amy’s heart ripped apart mercilessly as she heard Broderick spill those words. Although they were not in a relationship, his words sounds like that of a break up. Tears rushed down her face like an heavy downpour of rain.
She picked up her pillow and hugged it dearly, crying so hard inside her pillow until it became very soaked.
Amy’s door opened at that moment and Joan ran inside with her laptop, screaming.” America’s richest man had made an offer to become one of the shareholder of our company.”
But when Joan noticed the tears on Amy’s face, the laptop in her hand almost dropped. She went ahead and dropped the laptop on the stool and went to her,” Amy, what happened?”
Amy cried even more, she wanted to speak but the more she tried to, the more words get stuck in her throat.
Joan hugged her dearly and didn’t say any word, Joan’s eyes became litered with tears too eventhough she didn’t know what was making Amy cry. She could just feel her pain.
“Broderick said he doesn’t want to have anything to do with me again,” Amy eventually was able to speak. However, she had stopped crying out loud but was rather sobbing. Her heart was sour and she doubt if she can ever heal from the pain. This was the man she had fallen hard for.
“How could he?” Joan was angry at Broderick and walked out. She placed a call across to Broderick and once he answered the call, Joan spoke,” oh! So now, you don’t want to have anything to do with Amy again, right? Fine, she already has another man comforting her anyways, I can’t wait for me to start hearing moans of ‘love making’ from their room.”
“Hold on!” Broderick said as if he knew that Joan had a plan of hanging up the call after she had finished speaking.
“There is a man with her?” Broderick asked.
“Yes,” Joan answered and hung the call up. She turned and went back to meet Amy.
“Where did you go?” Amy asked.
“To tell Broderick you have another man with you, with the way he spoke, I think he may come,” Joan said. “I wonder why he would have feelings for you yet keep trying to chase you away.”
“I don’t want to see him,” Amy said.
“Since we already acquired our new mansion, we can just pack over there now?” Joan demanded.
“I’ll drive over there now, you can get someone to get all our luggage by night and bring it over, remember no one must know we are changing residence?” Amy asked and Joan nodded.
Amy went to the bathroom and washed her face with water after which she walked out. She got inside her car and drove to her mansion. It was quiet far to their old apartment.
Amy smiled painfully as she stepped down from the garage of her mansion. It would have been very beautiful living here with her children.
As she walked towards the entrance of the mansion, she wondered if Martha was actually pregnant for Broderick or if it that was another cunny plot of hers to keep him in her palm.
Amy placed her finger print on the door of the house and the door opened. As soon as she walked in, an idea popped in her head.
She went to the home office that was built with her mansion and immediately applied as a teacher at the kid’s school. Nobody really knows she’s the CEO of Meedaq’s group since the Meedaq’s group CEO always dress
like a Muslim cleric.
She reasoned that being a teacher of the kids was the only way for her to get closer to the kids. As their teacher, she can get to interact with them more often and probably get them to recover their memory.
But even if Broderick recovers his memory, will he able to divorce Martha, who is desperately in love with him and probably now pregnant for him? Amy thought and soon get done with the application. After which she rested on the office chair hoping she gets a feedback soon from the school.
Whereas, Joan was still busy with some Company related works at Amy’s old apartment. Her plan was to leave secretly at night with her luggage and that of Amy.

However, a multiple knock sounded on Joan’s door. She left what she was doing and went to open the door, when she saw Broderick, she wasn’t surprised at all. She had already predicted that he was likely to come.
“Please let me in, I need to see Amy,” Broderick demanded.
“She’s with her new man,” Joan said, observing his face intently.
“Is this a joke? I’ve been her friend for a couple of days and she didn’t tell me she was secretly keeping a man,” Broderick said.
“She can’t tell you everything about herself. She has to be sure she can trust you. Plus why are you bothered about her, didn’t you say you don’t want to have anything to do with her again?” Joan asked.
“Are you joking, Joan?” Broderick asked, trying not to believe that Amy was with another man.
“You didn’t even answer my question. I think you should focus on your wife and leave my boss alone,” she said.
Broderick sighed,” Okay, tell her I’m sorry about what I said. I need to see her now, please.”
Before Joan could say another word, a call came through to Broderick’s phone and he answered it after seeing that the caller ID was Brett.
“I don’t know how Lord Douglas finds out where Michael was kept…”
“They have freed him, huh?” Broderick asked.
“No, not yet but my men confirmed that Lord Douglas is heading over there with many soldiers that are working for the Alessandro’s clan,” Brett reported.
“Can you stop them?” Broderick asked.
“Our men that can stop them are already protecting the kids. If we try to stop them, the kids will lack protection. We can’t do both at the same time,” Brett said.
“I’ll stop them. Send me just three of my men and what route they are currently passing through,” Broderick dernanded,
“Boss, it’s too dangerous!” Brett said.
“It will be more dangerous if Michael is released. Now do as I have said,” Broderick said and hung the call up.
“What’s the matter?” Joan could sense that something was wrong.
“Nothing to be worried about. Please tell Amy that I am sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean to hurt her,” Broderick said and jumped inside his car.
Once he received a message of where the three men that he requested for were, he drove over there. Each of the men were with their own cars. Broderick only signalled for them after which they all began to drive as fast as they could
Broderick and the three men in big black jeeps all parked before the house that Michael was kept. Just to be sure he was in there, Broderick opened the door of the house by pressing a code that only he knows but to his surprise, he couldn’t find Michael there.
He was shocked. It was not possible for anyone to be able to enter this house except him. He didn’t have to put a guard there so that nobody would suspect that someone was being kept in the house. He looked around to see if any part of the house was broken but everywhere was intact.
Broderick was confused for real. While he was trying to make a meaning of what was going on, over a hundred cars parked before the building.
Broderick walked out of the building and realized that the three men he took with him had been made to kneel on the ground and numerous soldiers of the Alessandro’s clan all dressed in white and black were scattered around the house.
No matter how powerful anyone is, it will be impossible for them to escape here.
“You smartly got him out, what else did you want?” Broderick asked the soldiers standing a distance away from him but they were all quiet. They suddenly paved way for someone to step out, Broderick was less surprised when he saw Lord Douglas.
Lord Douglas commanded five of his men,” bring me my grandson.”
“Alright, Master,” the five soldiers ran inside.
Broderick, “…”
The three men came back and told Lord Douglas,” Master, we can’t find anyone inside.”
“Where is Michael?” Lord Douglas asked Broderick with rage.
“Don’t play games with me, master. You already got him out of here,” Broderick said.
Lord Douglas clenched his fist and snatched a dagger from one of soldiers standing at alert,” are you daring me on purpose? You kept him somewhere else, right? Don’t think I can not harm you just because you are a member of our clan.”
“I fucking kept him here, I don’t know how he dissapeared,” Broderick shouted.
“Oh! He must have got some supernatural powers that made him dissapear, isn’t it?” Lord Douglas walked towards him and placed the knife on his neck.
“Will you kill your own grandson now?” Broderick asked…
Lord Douglas laughed,” you stopped being my grandson after you kidnapped Michael and began to torture him.”
“Torture him? How did you know I tortured him if you didn’t get him out of here?” Broderick asked.
“Why would I get him out of here and still be asking for him? If I have got him out, we will probably be standing here together and I will be punishing you now for kidnapping him not asking about him,” Lord Douglas said,
Broderick sensed sincerity in his voice and then wondered how Michael could have got out here. Eventhough Michael was currently the most powerful man in North Hill, it will be impossible for him to get out of here.
“So where is he? I’m asking for the last time?” Lord Douglas asked as he held the dagger closer to Broderick as if he would slaughter him any moment from now.
Broderick thought of making a move, like collecting the knife from the man swiftly and threatening to kill him if the soldiers didn’t back off but Broderick thought that such act would be disrespectful to the clan master so he simply answered,” I don’t know.”
Lord Douglas took steps away from him and said,” it’s obvious you are not scared of death. Let’s see if these will make you speak the truth.” Lord Douglas turned to his men and commanded,” bring her here.”
Broderick’s eyes flashed as he wondered who was about to be brought, he was stunned to see Amy. Amy was immediately made to kneel before Lord Douglas.
“Should I slaughter her then send forth for your children and slaughter them one after the other before you tell me where Michael is?” Lord Douglas asked.
“You are ready to kill an innocent woman and six innocent kids for a murderer. Pretend like you didn’t know Michael kill Callan all you want but we both know the truth,” Broderick said as if he was unbothered about Amy. But actually, he was so bothered and scared but he couldn’t show it.
