SWNOVELS Chapter 26
Once they got inside, Amy expected him to change his attitude and probably grab her in the chin as he used to but instead, he
gestured for her to sit on the couch in the living room. She sat slowly like she was dreaming
while he went to sit on the couch that was opposite hers. Amy was very nervous of him. Everything about him is so noble, majest
ic and domineering. Perhaps because he was the most powerful man in NorthHill, his look was impossible to behold for a long ti
me. Broderick crossed his legs and said, “I wouldn‘t have to punish you that much if
I know that you are mothering six kids. I‘m not so heartless.” Amy who had her eyes set on his
broad chest raised it up slowly to his face, she was looking at his face with a thumping heart. He was handsome, very cute
but he‘s just so dangerous. But she didn‘t take her face away from him. What he said actually melt her heart. “It‘s not easy nurturi
ng six kids at a time. That‘s enough stress, I wouldn‘t have added to your
stress if I knew. At the very least because of your children
that needs you the most,” Broderick added. “I‘m so sorry, I was just scared,” Amy said, feeling guilty for letting someone else nur
se her child. “Don‘t ever do that again. Your kids should
always come first. Those kids deserve happiness. Understood?” He asked in a rather stern and rebuking manner. “Yes...yes, I un
derstand,” Amy said. Ten seconds of silence passed between them then Amy wanted to open her mouth in order to explain why s
he and Callan were outside the gate but it was at that time that Broderick spoke,” Nell raised me for a couple of years at a time w
hen my parents were having issues and she was so good to me. This was why I loved her. I didn‘t expect for her to lie to me or w
orst, try to make you look like a bad person.”
“I asked her why she lied on you and claimed the children were for her and she told me it was because of what your father did to
her. You do know she has no child, right?” “Yes, ” Amy answered. “Well, according to her, she was once pregnant for your father,
who was her first love but he told her to abort it. He eventually broke
up with her and since then, she was never pregnant till date. This was why she was nurturing
grudges against you,” Broderick said. “My
days! I don‘t even know she has any grudge with my father,” Amy said. Broderick nodded and said, “for the sake of your children,
I‘ll spare you but this doesn‘t mean my disgust for you as reduced. For forcing yourself on me six years ago and for forcing my
mother to get you married to me speaks of how desperate you are to stick with me. I‘m sure you are
one of those fan girl who crushes on celebrity,” “L...”
“Don‘t bother to explain. Enjoy the pain while it last, When my mother die, I‘ll let you go. And let me warn you sternly, should you
try to run away from me again then I will never let you see your kids
again,” Broderick said, “I promise not to attempt to leave
again until you allow me to,” she said. “Callan and I have nothing in common, he just appeared when I was about to walk inside...

has been trailing me. Please trust me on this,” Amy said, hoping earnestly that he beleives her. “Is Callan the father of the kids?
You
have to tell me the truth,” Broderick said. He did not beleive her the last time she said that she did not know whom she got pregn
ant for. How was it possible for a woman to get pregnant yet not know whom she pregnant for? That‘s ridiculous. “No, Callan isn‘t
the father. Although Callan and I divorced six years ago, it doesn‘t make him the
father of the kids. Infact, he performed a DNA test on the kids and confirmed himself that the children were not his,” Amy
said. “Then who is their father? You can‘t tell me you don‘t know their
father, that would be a big lie unless you have decided to hide the truth from me again,” he said. The only way he can let her go
after his mother had died is if he did not know the children are his. Should he know, he might even send her
away and withhold the kids. She would never let out such truth cause she can not afford to live without her kids. If that‘s the only
truth she will hide from him, then it‘s worth it. “I was having night stands every night with different handsome men at the
club after my husband break up with me. I just
couldn‘t afford to sleep at home alone at night, so when I got pregnant, I don‘t even know which of these men owns the
pregnancy,” she said. “Was it during this period that you had sex with me too?” He asked. “Yes, it was during that period,”
she answered. “My mother‘s sickness is getting worse day by day, whenever she calls you to come over, ensure you act like this

perfect otherwise, I‘ll destroy you,” he said. She sighed and said, “For the sake of Mrs. Alessandro‘s health, I‘ll pretend like this re
lationship is the best.” Broderick then stood and when he was about walking away, Amy spoke,” please wait.” Broderick paused a
nd turned to her, Amy walked over to him, standing right before him,” I just want to be sure, you would
not give me a near death experience again, right?” Rather than answering her, he pressed her against the bulge on his
trouser and buried his face on her
shoulder, he remained there for a while then took his head off, “come with me.” Amy was not expecting such reaction, she was ju
st expecting a simple answer. The near death experiences she had given her in the past was so scary. Being in a situation where
you think you were going to die has
to be scariest thing ever. She followed after him and they were soon inside his room. Broderick walked over to the wall and picke
d up a frame that had a drawing of his late wife, he
handed over the drawing to Amy and she received it, wondering why he had given her. She examined the woman inside the pictu
re and saw how beautiful she looked. “Examine my behavior, do you think the death of a woman
was what made me this cold?” He
asked, standing still before her. Amy looked at his deep eyes that secretly holds pain. “The death of one‘s wife can be very painfu
l. Expecially when you expect to live the rest of your life with that person only to realize
that one will not see the person again,” she said.
Broderick went to sit on the sofa in the room.” are there not many men whose wives had died? Do you
think they became as cold and ruthless as me?”
“Sincerely, no! But I guess the love you shared with her is different,” Amy said.

the small table that was by his kingly sized bed. She walked over to it and saw pack of cigarettes, she removed one
and picked the lighter beside it then went to give it to him. I He collected the cigarette alone and motioned for her to light

know what else happened that made him this heartless. “We were married for three years and I loved her, she loved
me too, or so I think. Eventhough she didn‘t have a child for me. She has
never been pregnant eventhough we had sex multiple times nonetheless, I showed her all the love and affection there is.” He pau
