Chapter 32 Love Me
Broderick who was just about to light his cigarettes raised his gaze up at her as soon she said those words. “What did you say?” he paused what he was about to do and seriously concentrated on her. “the children ars yours. I wasn‘t sleeping with random men at the club. I only had a night stand with you cause I was terribly heartbroken,” Amy said.
Unlike her previous words that he finds hard to beleive, he seems to believe this as he stood to his feet a nd asked, “are you telling the truth?” “Yes, I found out I was pregnant two weeks after we had sex,” she said. “I was hiding it from you because I was scared that you will take them from me. But I will rather let their father take them from me than to let a stupid jerk and cheat take them from me,” Amy said. Broderick smiled, happiness spread across his heart, he quickly prayed in his heart that this wouldn‘t be a dream. He held her left arms and said, “are you really telling the truth?” “Yes, you can perform a DNA to prove it, “she said, “Callan had act ually performed a DNA test on the children and he told me that he found out he wasn‘t the father of the c hildren so I‘m hundred percent sure he forged the DNA result he presented to the court.” He let go of her arms and mumbled,” for daring to have my children with him for hours, I‘ll let him groan in pain all his life.”
Broderick dressed up at once and said confidently,” I‘ll be back with the children.” Amy smiled as he watched him walk away angrily. She really wanted him to give Callan the beating of his life. That shameless cheat. The smile on her face quickly vanished as she thought of the fact that the father of her children didn‘t love her. Would he still send her away after his mother dies cause he obviously wouldn‘t send the kids away now that he knows that the kids were for him. When it was the evening of that same day, Amy ran out of her room once she heard the sound of cars. Once she got to the window at the living room, she drew the curtain and watched as Broderick stepped down
alone. Where are the kids? thought he said he would be back with the kids? Amy suddenly sighted some little figures stepping out of the car behind the one that Broderick had just stepped ou from. Seeing that the kids were her children, her joy knew no bound that she pushed the door open at once and rai towards the car. Once the kids saw he r, they ran speedily towards her, all shouting, “mummy!”
In the few hours that Amy didn‘t see the children, she felt like it was the end of the world. She hugged each of then very tightly and said with tears on her face, “I‘m so sorry that I let that man take you away.”
“Is he really our dad?” Moses asked. “He‘s not. Broderick is,” she answered.
“Who is Broderick?” Elijah asked, while others also set their attention on her curiously to know whom Broderick wa:
Amy turned to Broderick who was standing with an emotionless look on his face and pointed to him,” he‘s you biological father,”
“Really?” Debby, Elijah and Queen asked at the same time.
“Yes, that‘s the truth,” it didn‘t take the kids much effort to beleive their mother at all.
Debby was the first to run to Broderick, hugging him very tightly, “dad, you are really our dad,” The rest of the kids ran after Debby and swarmed around Broderick. Broderick felt extremely happy knowing tha the kids were really h is.
Love Me Amy watched the kids swarm around their father, “let‘s go inside,” Broderick said and they all be gan to walk inside. In a jiffy, the family of eight were scattered across the couch in the living room, the ha ppiness in the
atmosphere was so glaring “Did he hurt you? I mean the man you were with?” Broderick asked the kids. “No, he served us food but we all refused to eat,” Elijah said. “He also tried to engage us in a conve rsation but we all just acted moody, we don‘t like that man,” Elisha said. “I promise you yesterday that I will never leave you , I‘m sorry I did for a few hours but I will make it up now,” Broderick said.
“I was so sure that daddy was going to come and save us. I just have that fate and indeed, dad came,” Debby said. “I‘m so happy t hat dad is actually our real dad and not that man,” Elisha said. “Dad, did you know that we have been searching for you since the time we have been living in the Southhill?” Que en asked.
“I‘m so sorry I wasn‘t there for all of you in the past six years but now, I‘ll make up for it with my life,” Brod erick
said.
“Tomorrow, I will be going with Elijah, Elisha and Moses to attend an executive meeting,“. Broderick said. Any furrowed her brow as she wondered what the little boys want to go and do at an executive meeting. “ Can‘t wait,” the boys said one after the other. “Dad, what about us, when are you taking us out?” the girls asked. “Day after tomorrow, don‘t worry, I will never be so busy for you all. You are a part of my life now,” he said. The maid appeared and told Broderick the food was ready, the family of eight went to the dinnin g to eat, they had fun and gisted except Amy who was quiet all through. She loved the fact that the childr en were getting along with their father and having fun but her? It seems as if she will never find his favour. She didn‘t want to join in the conversation the father and children were having so as not to offend Broderick. After they were done eating, Amy lead the children to their rooms after which she decided to go back to her room. While walking to her room with an heavy heart, an arm grabbed her and she turn
ed and saw Broderick. “Did you not care to know what happened to your ex husband?” Broderick asked. “Sincerely, I don‘t care. He deserves whatever happens to him. “I see.,,” he let go of her arms slowly and said, “I have bought his family‘s company, moreso, he had been arrested cause the first thing I did on getting there was to take the kids forcefully from him for a DNA test and once I” confirmed, I ordered for his arrest at once. He would appear before the court in few days time and be sentenced. You don‘t have to worry about him being a thorn in your flesh anymore.” “T hank you so much,” Amy said. After a few seconds of silence, she turned and wanted to start leaving but he spoke, ” hold on!” Amy turned back to him and then he said,” I have hurt you terribly in the past, had i known that you are the mother of my children, I wouldn‘t have hurt you. I would venge my anger on some thing else. What can I do to make it up for you?” “Love me,” Amy didn‘t think twice before answering. Tha t‘s what she wanted. For the sake of her children, it would have been better if the both can grow to love e achother. For her, she finds him very attractive and despite being domineering and harsh, she still adored him in her heart.. Broderick smirked,” you are asking for the impossible, woman.” “ Can you start by calling me , Amy! I‘m not a stranger anymore but the mother of your kids, so can you pl ease address me with my name?” Amy asked, Any had discerned that he seemed to place yalue on the the mother of his kids and this was the only reason she dared to speak to him in thi s manner.
Love Me “Fine, I‘ll call you by your name henceforth. Afterall, you are no longer a stranger,” Broderick said.
Thank you. Why did you think you can‘t love me? Am I ugly or disgusting? You have caused me so much pain in the past, given me a ne can just state your price, even up to a million dollar, I will be willing to give it out to you,” he said.
Amy felt like slapping him but she had to caution herself, she shouldn‘t forget that although the man stand I presented myself to you as a greedy woman? You perceived me as many things, do you also think I can
talk of loving anyone. He broke me and here I am, trying to pick up the pieces. We are both broken souls my late wife having sex with another man. I was drunk too otherwise, even if you throw yourself at me, I w
