Chapter 119 Ten Thousand Solders Plus Fifty Thousand Soldiers
Broderick placed Amy in an empty bathtub and washed her face and feet only. She didn’t undress her. because of the type of relationship that subsist between the two adults.
After he was done, he carried her to her room and laid her gently on the bed. He sat on a chair that was available in the room and after two hours had passed, he received a call on his phone.
Seeing that the caller ID was Martha, he walked outside and answered it.
“Hey Broderick, are you fine? I’m so worried about your whereabout.”
“I’m fine,” Broderick responded.
“Broderick, you know I have just had a miscarriage and I’m so sad about it, I need you so much during this time,” Martha said with a pitiful voice.
“I understand which is why I was with you all evening. Please understand that I’m busy now. I’ll come home when I’m done,” Broderick said.
“Oh! Okay… I had no idea you are busy. I’m sorry for disturbing you,” Martha apologized.
“It’s not a problem,” Broderick said.
“Please don’t overwork yourself, Broderick. I love you so much,” she said.
“Thank you,” he said and Martha hung the call after a few seconds. He went back to the room and examined Amy but realized that she was still not awake. He wondered if he should take her to the hospital or wait a little more.
Broderick went back to sit and after six hours had passed, Amy eventually fluttered her eyes opened.
She sat upright and saw Broderick seated in the room with a swollen face that depicts that he didn’t sleep all night.
They both exchanged a blank look in silence, Broderick then asked, “can I serve you breakfast?”
Amy picked up her wrist watch and checked the time, seeing that it was morning of the following day, she nodded.
Broderick dissapeared from the room and went to the kitchen, when he was about lightening the gas, it dawned on him that he had never cooked in his entire life before. Before he would set the kitchen on fire with his poor cooking skills, he made a call across for the new maid working for him to bring a food over.
Broderick waited at the entrance of the bongalow until the food was brought, he collected it from the maid and walked to Amy’s room and placed the food right before her as Amy was already sitting upright.
“Did you cook this yourself?” She asked.
“No, I made the maid to cook it,” Broderick responded,
“It could be poisoned by your wife, I can’t eat it,” Amy said, “You may not remember, but your wife had tried to kill me before by food poisoning.”
“Oh!” Broderick went to carry the food before her and said,” I’ll dispose this then but, I don’t know how to cook”
“I’ll teach you,” Amy said.
“Oh! Okay, hold on,” Broderick walked away and called on one of the guard outside to dispose the food, He also ordered for a book and pen to be brought and once he has it, he returned to Amy’s room.
“So tell me the process of cooking the food?” Broderick asked.
“What type of food did you want to prepare for me?” She asked.
“Erm…which food will you like to take as breakfast?” Broderick asked.

“Shrimp with vermicelli and garlic, ” Amy responded.
“Okay, go on and teach me,” Broderick demanded.
Amy began to teach him how to prepare the food while he wrote it all down.
“That’s all,” Amy said after she was done teaching him about the process of cooking the food.
“Got it,” Broderick said and stood then walked out while Amy took advantage of that to bath and freshen up. It wasn’t like she forgot everything that happened yesterday but she just want to live this present reality that looks like fantasy for now.
Broderick told a guard to get him all the necessary ingredients required to cook the food. Since Amy didn’t trust the maid, he couldn’t send the maid to get the ingredients.
In five minutes, he had all the necessary ingredients required to cook the food. He then walked to the kitchen with all the ingredients and began to cook.
He even began to sweat at some point and after thirty minutes, he was done. Even he himself did not like the look, the food didn’t look like the usual Shrimp. He served it anyways and took it to Amy’s room.
When Amy saw the nonsense he prepared, she couldn’t hold her laughter.
“What?” Broderick asked innocently.
“So the most powerful man in North Hill has all the skills except cooking skills. How can I tell you that you cooked nonsense?” Amy chuckled.
“Oh! But can we eat the nonsense together?” Broderick asked.
“You want to eat with me?” Amy asked.
“Yes, in the same plate,” Broderick responded.
Amy smirked, the remembrance of what happened yesterday almost came to her mind but she pushed the thought aside.
“I need to go to work,” Amy said.
“This is just 6:30AM, we can still eat before you leave,” Broderick said.
“If I eat this, I’ll die,” Amy said and went to the wardrobe then wore an apron. “Don’t worry, I’ll cook the one that the both of us will eat!”
“Okay, let’s go to the kitchen together, I want to learn,” Broderick said and Amy shrugged like his request wasn’t a problem,
In a jiffy, the both of them were inside the kitchen. Broderick watched as Amy cooked and by the time
she was done, the smell of the food was so alluring. When Amy served the food into the plate, the sight of it was great that Broderick couldn’t wait to start eating.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to serve the food in different plate?” Amy asked.
“I don’t, let’s eat in one plate,” Broderick replied and Amy got all the food in one plate.
When she wanted to carry the tray containing the plate of food to the dinning, Broderick stopped her with his hand then walked towards her then collected the tray from her.
“You can clean up the kitchen, I’ll wait for you at the dinning,” Broderick said and Amy nodded.
Broderick then walked to the dinning and placed the food on the center of the table. Amy appeared in no time and sat before him.
“Shall we?” Broderick asked and Amy nodded.
The two began to eat from the same plate as though nothing had happened yesterday. After they were done, Broderick volunteered to carry the tray of empty dishes back to the kitchen. He even washed them then cleaned his hand.
Broderick walked out and saw that Amy was already set to start going to work.
“It’s nice eating with you, Amy,” Broderick said.
Amy only hummed then asked the question that had sat on top of her heart,” where is my brother?”
“He has been released since yesterday,” Broderick said and Amy felt strongly relieved.
Amy immediately placed a call across to Irvin to confirm and he answered as soon as the call went through.
“Hey Amy, I’ve been trying to reach you. Please if the Marshall and Franklin families comes to meet with you for a deal, please don’t entertain them. Some powerful families are trying to form a coup d’etat to impeach the president of our country, their target is actually not the president but Broderick,” Irvin said.
Amy’s heart stopped for a second, how does she tell him that them?
e had already signed the deal with
“Okay. Irvin, are you fine?” Although Amy could tell that he was fine with the way he spoke.
“I’m fine, please don’t forget what I said. And would you mind us going for lunch together one of these days? If you are less busy?” Irvin asked.
“I have always wished for that. Will speak to you later, brother,” Amy said and hung the call up.
“Thank you,” Amy said to Broderick and he nodded.
“So.. about the pregnancy. Is it through surrogacy or through sex?” Amy asked.
“I changed my mind, I’ll let Martha carry another baby for me,” Broderick said.
Martha having a miscarriage was a good thing, Martha musn’t get pregnant for him again otherwise, that bitch will keep having something to hold on to,
“Why did you change your mind?” Amy asked.
“Cause I felt it’s not right.” Broderick responded.
How will she tell him not to make love with his wife? It doesn’t make sense. She only nodded and walked away.
