Chapter 39
A Hard Punch In The Cheek
Amy furrowed her brow in shock. She have seen her father shown indifferent attitude towards the abuse that Martha and Edith
inflicted on her in the past, but she had never been abused directly by her father. But today, her own father slapped her because
of the daughter of a mistress.
“Dad, you slapped me?” She asked. Was it not her who honour his call few months ago and even agree to enter into the mysery
arranged marriage that she was at the moment. Yet he slapped her.
“You slapped me for your mistress’s daughter?” She asked with a broken heart. Amy’s mother was his legal wife, but it was after
her mother died that she found out that her father had kept a secret mistress all these years and what’s worse, he even brought
them home to live with him. Carlton was not as rich as the Alessandro’s family but he was the Mayor of the city and hence, was
influential. He was regarded as a king and adored and treated like one. Amy was supposed to have the perfect and most
enjoyable life seeing how influential her father was in NorthHill but her father stopped prioritizing her but rather prioritized his
mistress and her daughter.
“Carlton, you shouldn’t have slapped her. She probably slapped Martha out of anger and frustration,” Edith said. It was during
this period that the ambulance came, Martha who was pretending to be unconscious was suddenly transported to the ambulance
and carried away. “Don’t call me dad ever again. Infact, I should just tell you the truth now, you are never my biological daughter.
Martha is my biological daughter. Leave now and never return to my house ever again,” Carlton was angry that Amy came to his
house and before she could even enter, she had already caused trouble. Amy felt like a sharp knife peirced into her heart as she
heard her father speak. What was her father trying to say? That her mother has a child for another man or? Was he trying to call
her mother is a cheat. She struggled so much not to let the tears in her eyes fall off, she turned from her father and his mistress
and began to walk away, if she tries to say any more word, the tears she had been holding would fall. As soon as she tumed
from them, tears started pouring from her face like pregnant cloud emptying rains. She had barely taken few steps when the rain
began to fall heavily. She looked around for where she could hide but there was no place. She turned back to her father’s house
and saw that the door had been locked. She had come here to challenge her stepsister and ask why she was trying to hurt her
and make her look like a cheat before Broderick but she wasn’t even allowed to take a step inside her father’s house and what’s
worst, her father who had never laid hands on her slapped her.
Not knowing where she could hide, she decided to see if she can find a taxi that will take her home. She was going through so
much pain at the moment. She wasn’t even allowed to see her children. She began to saunter towards the street despite the
heavy rain beating her. Her clothes were wet and she was literally gnashing her teeth in pain. The fact that her father does not
care about the rain beating her hurts her to the gut, the intensity of the rain increased and she allowed more tears fell from her
eyes. Her heart was so heavy that she leaned by a pole and almost squatted there.
While in her devastating state, a black land rover packed before her. Once she set her eyes on the tinted window of the glass,
she wondered if this was Broderick, the tinted window slide down and she saw Mike inside the car.
“Come in,” Mike said from inside the car, “No,” Amy responded. He just exposed himself as his enemy yet he showed up as if
trying to save her. Even if he saved her, he must have other odd purposes. Did he really think she would be foolish to step inside
the car just because the rain was heavily pouring on her
Mike pushed the door open and stepped down, he walked over to her and didn’t mind the rain beating him at all,” Yes, I
want revenge for my brother but I can do that without hurting you.” “How else do you plan on revenging for your brother without
hurting me? Stop pretending like a ...” she gnashed her t as a result of the cold ,” like a sheep when in fact you are a woll.”
– Chapter 39 A Hard Punch In The Cheek Mike smirked, “If I want to hurt you, I would have when you come to my house. Please
come inside my car.” “Listen Mike, stay away from me and tell your girlfriend to stay away from me too,” she said and carried her
heavy legs away from him. “There is no taxi around, how long can you endure the cold, you will fall sick,” Mike said as he walked
beside her. “It’s better to fall sick than to enter my enemy’s car. You do realize that it was Callan who was wrong, right? He
cheated on me in the past and tried to steal my kids away from me yet you are seeking for revenge, how pathetic,” Amy said
angrily “My brother never stopped loving you, getting the kids from you was an attempt to force you to come back to him,” he
said.
“Get away from me?” she screamed. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with Mike anymore. “No, you are still Callan’s wife
cause he never signed the divorce papers before he went to prison so literally, you are still part of our family and it’s my
responsibility to ensure that I protect you,” he said. “Don’t put me into more trouble than I am. Broderick is already punishing me
for coming to your place, if he sees us together, it won’t be good for both of us, you know that?” she said and paused walking.
Anyone who sees her walking with Mike would think they were two lovers talking. The fear that one of Broderick’s men could be
watching her filled her heart. “Come back to our family, Amy. Broderick will only keep hurting you if you are with him,” Mike said.
“Fucking leave me or do you want me to scream,” she said, the intensity of the rain didn’t reduce at all. It was beating the both of
them heavily and she was almost tempted to get inside his car. Mike wasn’t ready to leave here unless she gets inside his car,”
Please get inside the car andleet me drive you to Broderick’s house.” Amy sighed in utmost frustration when she saw that he
was not ready to leave her. She tried to push him away but he grabbed her two arms and rested it on his firm chest. “Let go of
my arms,” she screamed as she tried to withdraw her arms but Mike pulled her over to himself. A heavy blow landed on Mike’s
cheek all of a sudden making him let go of Amy’s arm and fell to the gutter beside the road. Amy furrowed his brow when he saw
Broderick standing tall and mighty. He looked at her with an aloof face,” get inside the car!” She quickly got inside his car that
was parked right behind Mike’s car while Broderick also stepped in. The driver drawled the partition up enclosing the duo in the
backseat space. “I don’t know how he came...I don’t know how he find me. I went to ...” he turned to her and placed his finger on
her mouth. He drawled her closer to himself and pressed her body on his,” let me warm you until we get home.” Amy curved her
two arms around his body and pressed her chest on his tightly as if finding comfort and Broderick didn’t mind at all.
Once the car gets home, the backseat door was opened at once. Broderick carried her like a father carrying a daughter inside
the room.
He placed her on the bathtub and when she wanted to unbotton her shirt, he said to her,” I’ll do that for you.” She looked at him
surprisingly and set her eyes on him as he unbotton her shirt slowly. Then he helped her to remove her top leaving her with her
brassier. He pulled her towards himself then took his hand to her back, he unhooked the brassier in no time and took it off.
Seeing her firm breast, his face was immediately full of lust, he helped her take away her skirt and then her pant very gently
He increased the temperature of the water so it can be warm a little, Amy remained in the warm bathtub and felt warm but her
eyes were still fixed on him, “My children, please let me see them,” she pleaded, Broderick who was now standing still said to
her,” the children are now in their room. When you feel better, you can 80 check on them.”
Amy was very happy to hear this. What made him change his mind? 1 “Thank you so much,” Amy said. “Don’t forget you are
resuming as my secretary on Monday, dress like one and learn faster,” he said. “Sure, I’ll perform deligently. Do I need to submit
an application?” Amy asked. “Not necessarily. This is your husband’s company,” Broderick said and when he was about walking
out of the bathroom, he turned to her and said,” you went to your father’s house right?” “Yes, I do.” “Why don’t you return there
when the rain started falling?” he asked as if he was concerned. When Amy remembered the way her father slapped her, she felt
a sharp pain in her heart and said,” my family and I are not in good terms.”
