Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Cupcake When Amy was done at work, instead of taking a taxi directly home, she took it to the Owen’s villa. That was where her father’s mansion was. As soon as the car dropped, she walked in courageously. She had purposed not to ever come here again but that will be after she had taken everything that belonged to her mother from here. She knew her father hated her now which was sad but she must leam to live with that. Her six kids are enough to bring her happiness. She walked towards the door and pressed the door bell, once the door opened and she saw Edith, her stepmother, she greeted her casually and walked inside.

“Where did you think you are going to?” Edith asked and then quickly trailed after her. Carlton Owen, her father wasn’t around during this period.

“To my mother’s room,” she said without bothering to turn back to her, as soon as she got before her mother’s room, she saw that the room wasn’t even locked, it was slightly opened. She pushed it open nonetheless and was surprised to see am almost empty room. She went to her mother’s wardrobe where all her jewelries were kept but she couldn’t find any there.

Pain stung her heart and then she turned to Edith who was standing by the door, “where are my mother’s jewelry?”

“Aren’t you married to Broderick Alessandro now? What did you need the jewelries for?” Edith asked. “It’s my inheritance and for the fact that I’m married to Broderick Alessandro doesn’t necessarily mean that all he has belongs to me. See, I’m not here for a long talk, just give me my mother’s belonging and I’ll let you go.” She smirked and said, “You can’t have it anymore, we sold it all.” “You must be joking,” she walked towards her angrily.

“You have really built courage, Amy. Well, I’m serious, what will you do? We all know Broderick doesn’t love you and your father doesn’t even regard you as his daughter anymore so you are just on your own, poor Amy. You don’t have any power whatsoever to fight me,” she said.

“You think so? Broderick Alessandro will help out, just watch,” she said and walked away from the room and straight out of the mansion.

How can this people be so heartless that they would sell all her mother’s jewelries? She didn’t know if Broderick will help if she tells him about it. But the thing is that, she doesn’t want Broderick to help her. Most rich men she believes are capitalist but like Edith said, she literally has no one that could fight for her.

She took a cab home.

Whereas, Broderick was invited by Nell to the Alessandro’s mansion, after they had both greeted, Nell lead him to where his mother was. Her sickness had gotten really worst and she looked very skinny..

“The doctor examined her yesterday and said she may not live another week. I feel so sad for my twin sister,” Nell cried.

Broderick placed his hand on Elizabeth’s hair and sighed, “mother!”; Elizabeth’s eyes were opened but she couldn’t really take notice of the presence of anyone in the room. Her breathing had become uneven as though she was struggling to stay alive. He walked out slowly while Nell followed. Once they appeared outside of the room, Broderick said,” I wish that my mother died without going through all this pain.” Nell who was still sobbing increased the intensity of her cry, he hugged her and petted her,” second mother, I still have you eventhough my mother is leaving us.”

Nell nodded. After a few seconds, she said,” I have one more thing to tell you.” “Okay, mother,” he said and followed Nell down to the living room where they both sat opposite eachother. “Do you plan on divorcing Amy after my sister’s death?” Nell asked. “That’s right, I’m only interested in her children,” Broderick said. He meant what he said sincerely. “Oh! Then who would serve as the children’s mother?” “I can arrange a nanny for them, that shouldn’t be a problem,” Broderick said. “I have a solution...”

“Tell me, mother,” Broderick demanded. “When you came to live with me when you were young, during the crises of your parents, you seemed to fell in love with a little girl then that was a little younger than you, do you remember her?” Nell asked. “Yes, mother. I do clearly. However, After † came back to NorthHill to meet my parents, I lost her contacts. It’s being many years, I’m sure she would have moved on. How about her?” Broderick asked. “You could have contacted me then to help you find her contact. Wonder how I find out? You forgot your diary with me so I find it all out there,”

Nell said. “I didn’t want to bother you plus I thought I should hide my relationship from adults then...I was very young then, mother,” Broderick said.

“That’s right.” Nell paused and then continued,” remember you promised her that you will make her your wife in the future?”

“Yes, I do. But mother, why are you suddenly talking about her?” Broderick was now curious..!! “Because she had not moved on. She still love you and want you to fulfil your promise. She has moved over to NorthHill and I think you should accept her. I know you are a man who keeps to your promise,” Nell said. Nell hated Amy with passion cause of what Carlton did to her when she was young. She can’t wait for when Broderick will kick her off from his house. For that to happen quick, she had to put a plan in place. “Really? But I don’t love her anymore. Infact, I’m not capable of loving anyone anymore, mother.” Broderick said. “Don’t say that. The love will springforth again and she can even help take care of the six kids. She will really make you happy, trust me,” Nell said. “I don’t need happiness, mother.” Broderick said. He feel so burned now. It had been many years and he thought that this childhood friend of his would have moved on. “Wondered if she’s back to make me marry her because I’m now the most powerful man in NorthHill.”. “Can’t be because of that. Her father is one of the richest men in SouthHill and there are many suitors after her but I beleive her heart chose you,” Nell said. Broderick was quiet and thought about it, “Where is she?” “She wanted to get an apartment after she came but I told her to lodge here since I’m basically the only one occupying the entire mansion, there are numerous rooms here. I hope you don’t mind?” “Do you mean she’s inside here?” Broderick asked. “Yes, hold on, Let me call her for you,” Nell said and stood. She then walked away from him. Broderick waited impatiently for her appearance and a few seconds after Nell had dissapeared, Nell appeared with an averagely tall and beautiful lady. When he looked at her, he realized that she was indeed the little girl he promised marriage when they were young. Unlike then, she had grown taller now but was still slim. The cloth she was wearing and how decntly packed her hair was made her look very adorable. “Broderick,” she called with a smile.

Broderick stood and walked to her slowly, “Theresa.” She blushed and lowered her head, he hugged her and she hugged him back. Her smell was strange and it wasn’t like how she smelt in the past. Perhaps, even her smells changed. Nell smiled as he watched the duo hug. “I have missed you,”

she said. Her voice was a little hoarse but the little girls voice was soft, perhaps, even her voice changed. So many things must have changed about her, Broderick thought and gestured for her to sit.

She sat then Broderick also sat, “Broderick may be the most powerful man in NorthHill but I assure you, he’s still my son and he’s a very good man.

He will fulfil his promise to you. I’ll excuse the both of you.” Nell then left with a smile.

“I’m sorry I appeared out of the blue. I don’t mean to cause a chaos to your life. I have held onto your promise over the years and have refused every guy’s offer cause I beleived that you will come for me. But you never did. I had to come over when I was tired of waiting. If you can’t accept me anymore, I’ll understand and go back to my city.”

“I hold promises in high esteem. Be rest assured that if I promise you, no matter the circumstances, I’ll fulfil it,” Broderick said and she looked at her with an happy face. “Do you mean you will marry me?” she asked. Broderick replied after a few seconds had passed, “yes, I will marry you.” Theresa-

was so happy that her cheeks became red. “But I need you to know that I’m not capable of love anymore and I don’t feel a thing to you anylonger. Are you sure you can live with this?” Broderick asked. “As long as you wouldn’t hurt me, you may not love me but will you honour me as your wife in private and in public?” she asked “I can’t guarantee that I won’t hurt you but yes, I’ll honour you in private and in public,” Broderick said. She nodded and then asked, “when do we marry?” “Hold on here, after my mother’s demise, I’ll send the woman with me away and make you my wife,” Broderick Barren Mother Give Birth To Sextuplets To The Hot CEO Chapter 44 Hello, Mr. Brent Chapter 350 The CEO’s Surrogate Wife Chapter 922 Happiness Is Simple said. • “Thank you so much, Broderick. There are only few men like you in the world who still honour their promises. I’m sure you will fall in love with me as time goes on,” she said. “Cupcake,” Broderick said. “Huh?” “Cupcake?” Broderick repeated. “Have you forgotten our slang those days? when I say cupcake, you reply with some words... can’t you remember?” He further asked. She blinked her eyes multiple times and said, “I forgot. My bad!

Broderick, it’s really such a long time.” Broderick finds her act suspicious, even after many years, was she not supposed to remember what they were found of saying?
