Chapter 138
While standing and observing him, she heard him mumbled some words.. the words were too hard to
make a meaning of but one particular word she heard was ‘Michael!
As if battling with something terrible in his dream, he woke up fearfully all of a sudden, seeing Amy, he
held her hand and pleaded for her to lay beside him.
Amy wanted to remind him that they were just friends but seeing the state that he was, she agreed and
laid beside him.
Broderick’s eyes shut again,” Mr. Broderick, you seemed to be having a night mare?”
Broderick only hummed but held her hand very tightly as if scared that she may leave him. Yet, his eyes
were shut. Amy peeked at his handsome face. Broderick opened his eyes slowly and on seeing her,
looking at him, he maid her rest her head on the pillow and leaned on her, “can you allow me to kiss you,
Miss. Cleo?”
Amy kept quiet and didn’t know how to reply. Why was he asking? Perhaps, he was trying to be civil plus
the relationship between them was just ‘friend.
“I have not been able to truly have a sleep ever since my late mistress died. I’m surprised that I even

Amy parted her lips as if wanting to say something but couldn’t. It was as if she lost every strength to
speak. Actually, she was at the moment very emotionally vulnerable.
“If you let us kiss, It will calm my nerves and perhaps, the nightmare will stop.” Broderick said with a
deep and painful gaze.
Amy closed her eyes slowly then opened it again only to meet his face very close to his.
“I won’t force you to do anything against your will, miss Cleo. I know you don’t love my brother, I can tell
by merely looking at your face, I just couldn’t understand why you want to have a wedding with him.”
Broderick sighed painfully then asked again,” please, let me taste of your sweet lips.”
“I’m not willing to engage in anything romantic with you, Mr. Broderick,” Amy suddenly said.
Broderick freezed and pulled back. It was surprising but amazing to him that she was able to resist his
charm.
“Okay, is it comfortable for you to lay here for a couple of hours?” Broderick asked.
“Yes, it’s not a problem but I have to leave very early in the morning,” Amy said.
“Alright,” Broderick laid gently.
A moment of silence graced their midst. After Amy confirmed that Broderick was asleep,she waited a
little longer before finding her way to her children’s room. She went to the girl’s room first and although
she felt like she would be disturbing them by waking them up, nonetheless, she thought it will be better to
let them know that she came around.
She switched on the light in the room and woke the children up one after the other. They were all
shocked and happy to see their mother. Amy played with them for a couple of minutes before she pet
them back to sleep.
The few minutes she spent with them made her so happy. She examined the children’s merry and
sleepy face then walked out happily from their room. She went to the boy’s room and woke them up also,
she played with them for a few minutes and wanted to lead them back to sleep but they had already
stopped sleeping.
She spent up to an hour with the boys, they were gisting about every single thing that had been going on
with them both at school and at home with Amy and it was a lovely moment.
The little ones eventually got tired and began to sleep one after the other. When the whole world seemed
to be causing her pain again and again, her children will always be the reason for her happiness.
Her mood became very elated and she walked back to Broderick’s room and laid gently, just five minutes
after she had laid, Broderick woke and turned to her,” didn’t you sleep at all?” “Not at all. I’m actually not

Broderick stood from the bed and checked his watch,” I guess it’s time for you to leave, right?”
“Yes,” Amy also stood.
Broderick commanded his head of guards to lead Amy home.
On Saturday at B Hotel, there was a big placard at the entrance of the hotel that had ‘Broderick
Alessandro Weds Theresa Roscoe.’ Inside the hotel, there was an unusual number of exorbitant cars
parked.
Inside the the most beautiful and luxurious hall were many powerful families in North Hill seated
majestically around their tables. The mayor and Edith were also here. Nell sat at the forefront while
Broderick and Theresa sat right beside her.
Also, there were a few journalists who were given access to the building and there was a TV station
videographer who was covering the event. Right from this moment, the TV station had started displaying
what was going on inside the hall for everyone seated at home to watch.
Broderick was dressed in his tailored suit while Theresa wore an expensive wedding gown. Though the
wedding gown she was wearing wasn’t the one she really wished she wear but Michael Alessandro and
Amy went away with the limited edition gown at the mall leaving Theresa then no option but to go for the
next available gown.
