Chapter 105 You And Your Kids Will Suffer Earnestly The rest of the day was a sad one for Broderick, Amy and Joan. Callan’s dead body had been taken away. Joan tried to comfort Amy all night but it was impossible for her to stop crying. Remembering her beautiful days with Callan makes her feel even very hurt. It was true that she was angry with him for breaking his heart in the past but she never wished for him to be dead. Amy didn’t sleep all night, neither did Joan. How could she sleep when Amy was awake all night, in a sad state, The news of Callan’s death had reached the ears of everyone in North Hill as his family was one of the most powerful families in North Hill. Martha also heard about it and wondered if that was the reason why Broderick had locked himself up ever since he came back home. Martha had knocked on the door of Broderick’s room severally but she didn’t even get a sound from him eventhough she knew quiet well that he was in there. Martha eventually retired back to her room. When it was the following day, Broderick placed a call across to Amy to know how she was feeling but she didn’t answer the call. He was not expecting her to answer the call anyways. He got dressed and stepped out, once he appeared at the living room, Martha immediately stood from the couch, she had sat at alert in the living room since 5AM waiting for when he would come out. “Broderick! Good morning. I knocked on your door all night but you didn’t answer. It’s obvious you are not fine, can you tell me what’s wrong?” “My friend was murdered,” Broderick answered. “Your friend?” “Callan! Have you heard about his death, yet? He’s my friend, he was good to me in prison and took a bullet for me. Actually, I was the one who should be dead by now but he took the bullet for me,” Broderick said with a blank gaze. Martha walked closer to him and exclaimed,” oh my days! I’m so sorry. Who could have tried to murder you?”
“No idea,” Broderick lied. “I need to get somewhere, see you later.” Broderick then walked away from her. He went with his escorts to the Alessandro’s mansion, not only has Nell retruned there, Lord Douglas, the head of the Alessandro’s clan was now residing there too. He was already old and didn’t want to die in a foreign country so he had decided to stay here until his last day on earth. Broderick stepped down with anger, Brett had already confirmed to him that Michael was the one who was behind the shot. He didn’t expect that after giving Michael all the powers he had and letting him have his mega company, he would still attempt to kill him. How can his blood brother be so desperate that he even wanted to take his life. So if not because Callan saved him, he would have been dead by now. Once Broderick appeared at the large living room, the butler appeared to him and greeted him with a bow. Broderick commanded, “tell grandfather I’m around.” “Okay, sir,” the butler bowed and walked away. A couple of minutes later, Lord Douglas walked in smartly. Despite his old age, he still has strong bones and could walk properly, He sat down and gestured for Broderick,” please sit.” Broderick sat and greeted him, “Michael Alessandro tried to kill me.”. “What!” The man exclaimed. “Yes. You should have heard about the news of Callan’s death. He actually took the bullet on my behalf. The clan shouldn’t blame me for what I’m about to do next to him,” Broderick said. “You can’t hurt your brother, be calm.” Lord Douglas said and brought out his phone. “Can’t? But my own brother tried to kill me?” Broderick asked with a frown. Lord Douglas placed a call across to Michael and he answered almost immediately, “come to the family’s mansion immediately.”
“Okay, grandfather,” Michael said and Lord Douglas hung the call up. “He will be here soon. I want to know the reasons behind his act,” Lord Douglas said and called on the butler, once he appeared, he said to him,” get us a drink and a cake.” “I’m not eating, sorry!” Broderick denied. How could he eat in such a state that he is? All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“I understand how you feel but you still have to take something,” Lord Douglas said. . “Please don’t force me to eat grandfather, I’m not in the mood,” Broderick said and then Lord Douglas dismissed the butler. Lord Douglas then observed Broderick for a while, he could tell that he was very angry. Broderick already gave out all he has to Michael yet Michael tried to take his life. It was hard for him to understand. A brief knock landed on the door at this moment and the door opened, revealing Michael. “Good morning, grandfather,” Michael said and walked towards them. “Why did you attempt to kill your brother?” Lord Douglas asked before he could even sit. “I?” Michael asked with a fake innocent look. “Why would I ever make such an attempt?” Broderick stood with rage and walked up to him, “Are you trying to deny the fact that you aimed your gun at me in an attempt to kill me, huh?” “I don’t understand what you are talking about, sincerely,” Michael said and Broderick threw a heavy blow to his ‘healing nose. Michael had not recovered fully yet from the injury Broderick caused him the day he saw him slap Amy and now he broke his nose again. Michael winced in pain and staggered back, blood began to stream down his nose and he felt an excruciating pain. “Broderick, did you respect me at all? How can you hit your brother before me?” Lord Douglas asked this while sitting, “He dared to deny it,” Broderick turned to Lord Douglas. *Prove that he was the one that made an attempt to shoot you?” Lord Douglas asked. “I have my men investigate.” “What if your men came up with a false news?” Lord Douglas asked. – Broderick was so sure that Brett can’t give him an unconfirmed news. Who else could have attempted to kill him if not Michael? “Grandfather, if not for your presence, I would have dealt with this guy,” Michael boasted. “Please give him the punishment he deserved for hitting me before you. He doesn’t even have a prove of the
allegations he had against me.” “The both of you should sit,” Lord Douglas commanded and Michael went to sit while cleaning the blood on his nose with his handkerchief. Broderick remained standing and said,” you are not my father, Lord Douglas.” “What do you mean?” Lord Douglas frowned. “I meant that you may be a father to my father but not my father. I think I owe my father respect because he was responsible for my growth in all areas of life but how did I owe you respect? You have never played role in my life. I only had to respect you because you are the head of the clan but I tell you, I alone can fight with all the clan if they try me.” Broderick said. “You are crossing your boundaries. Your memory loss really affected you, I know but I know many things about you that nobody else knows,” Lord Douglas said. “You know nothing about me,” Broderick said and Lord Douglas smirked. “I know that you are the anonymous and secrete god of the underworld. I doubt if you remember this about yourself,” Lord Douglas said. Broderick remembered how he was taken to the underworld and treated with so much respect after he was taken from prison. He didn’t see any of their faces cause they all covered their faces with mask. But after they had injected him with what could make him recover his memory, they got him dressed up and assured him that he won’t get arrested again after which they dropped him before his mansion and drove away. He had always wondered what connection he had with people of the underworld. Michael was shocked to hear his grandfather say this. Now he understood the mystery behind the ‘assumed terrorists’ that came to make him escape from prison. “Michael, I won’t let you go unpunished,” Broderick said and walked out “Grandfather, is he really the god of the underworld?” Michael asked after Broderick had left the mansion. The old man slapped Michael angrily,” you bastard, what else do you want from him? You said you wanted to become the most powerful man in NorthHill and I helped you eventhough you don’t deserve it.
He stepped down for you and let you have that position and how do you want to pay him back, by killing him? How heartless have you become, Michael?” Michael held his cheek and swallowed. Lord Douglas has a special favor for Michael than he does for Broderick He never really liked Broderick’s father. “Grandfather, Broderick may have stepped down as the most powerful man in Northhill but he’s still a threat to me. He’s stopping me from getting what I want to get,” Michael said. “Broderick is the god of the underworld, Eventhough you are now the most powerful man in North Hill, dont doubt how miserable he can make your life become, Lord Douglas said and stood angrily, he added, “don’t ask for my help when he start dealing with you.” He then walked inside angrily. Michael sighed after he had walked away. Now that he knows the mystery behind Broderick, he will work hard into stripping Broderick off his position in the underworld too. If he can do that, he should be able to get rid of Broderick easily Michael stood and decided to go to Amy’s place to sympathize with her about the death of Callan. He knew that Amy would definitely feel bad about Callan’s death. It was not his plan to kill Callan but things unexpected happen. He walked out of the Alessandro’s mansion and as soon as he got inside his car, he started the ignition of his car but noticed the the tire was making a loud noice. He turned off the ignition of the car and stepped down only to realize that the tire of the car had become flat. His face suddenly got covered and before he could make a meaning of what was going on, he became unconscious and by the time he became conscious, he realized he was in a different large room. He was only on a pant and was tied from the chest to the foot of the pole behind him. He thought this was a dream. How could he, the most powerful man in North Hill be treated in this manner? Who dared to do this to him? The light in the room suddenly shone brighter and Broderick walked in with an angry face. “You! How dare you?” Michael shouted angrily. “You killed an innocent man. Did you really think I will let you go? How did you expect me to feel about the fact that an innocent man died on my behalf?” Broderick asked as he walked over to him. “I will make
your life a living hell. I tell you this, you will regret the day you were born.” Broderick commanded two of his men to appear and once they do, he commanded them to give Michael a hundred strokes each. Broderick sat on a wooden chair as he watched his men flog Michael mercilessly. Michael kept screaming in pain as the men flogged him. Michael was feeling an excruciating pain in his body as the canes hit him on different part of his body. By the time the men were done, he had almost given up on life. He coughed a number of times, thick saliva pouring by itself from his mouth. He had scars all over his body and was feeling terribly hurt in his body. Broderick dismissed the men that just flogged him and crossed his legs,” we are just getting started.” Michael was too weak to even speak, he just lowered his head like someone that would die the next moment. Broderick received a call during this period and seeing that the caller ID was Jane, he answered it and Jane’s voice came through,” sir, miss Amy is having a serious fever and headache. I have persuaded her to let us go to the hospital but she refused.” “I’ll be there,” Broderick said and stood. As Broderick made an attempt to walk out, Michael spake,” If I ever get out of here alive, not only will you suffer, your children will pay earnestly for it?” “It’s smart you used the word ‘if’ to start your sentence cause actually, a murderer like you will never make it out of here alive,” Broderick said and walked out. He went to Amy’s mansion with his escorts. He can’t afford to drive alone during this period cause he had to be security conscious now. He stepped down quickly and walked towards Amy’s apartment. The door wasn’t fully locked so he simply pushed the door open and once he saw Joan, he asked, “Is she in her room?” “Yes.” Broderick immediately walked inside the room and saw how weak Amy looked. “Amy!” Broderick called caringly and Amy looked at him, she swallowed and said,” I don’t know why I feel
so hurt about Callan’s death. I have not been able to eat!” “It was Michael who killed him,” Broderick broke the news to her. Amy adjusted to sit while Broderick went to sit beside her, “will you lay your head on my chest?” Amy laid her head on his chest and curved her arms around him,” Michael is such a heartless beast. So he actually wanted to kill you.” “Yes but don’t worry, he will beg for death,” Broderick said and added,” let me bath you, please.” Amy didn’t respond, she couldn’t stop thinking about how cruel Michael was, yet he had presented himself to her as a gentleman when they newly met. She hated Michael even more. She hated how desperate Michael was, how could he even think of murdering Broderick? His own brother. Broderick pushed her away gently and positioned himself in such a way that he will be able to carry her, he carried her and took her to the bathroom then began to undress her. Amy was not shy at all, maybe because they already saw each other’s nakedness a few days ago. After she was naked before him, Broderick placed her in the bathtub and began to bath for her like a father bathing his daughter. After he was done bathting her, Amy felt refreshed and the heavy burden she felt on her became light. Broderick helped her out of the bathtub and dried her body with the towel. Afterwards, he carried her on the bed and laid her gently on the bed, “I don’t think you have a plan of going out today?” “I don’t. I couldn’t sleep all night but I think I feel better now,” Amy said Broderick smiled. He was also happy seeing her. As if they were eachother’s dose of happiness. When Amy saw him smiling, she also smiled. Broderick laid beisde her and covered both of them with the duvet. “Who sleeps with a suit on?” Amy chuckled. Broderick giggled,” I just want to help you to sleep then I’ll leave.” “You want to leave me after I have slept?” Amy expressed a sad but playful face. Broderick caressed her cheek and said,” I’ll be here with you until you let me go.” Amy cuddled herself around him and closed her eyes, she felt so comfortable around him that she fell
asleep in no time Broderick had a bright smile on his face, he loved how she rested her beautiful body on him. His phone rang fifteen minutes later and he carefully brought it out from his pocket so that Amy wouldn’t be disturbed and wake from her sleep. Seeing that it was Lord Douglas, he answered the call but kept quiet. He was still displeased at the man, “If you don’t release Michael from wherever you kept him, you and your kids will suffer earnestly for it the old man’s hard and stern voice came through.
