SWNOVELS Chapter 53
Chapter 53 You Love To Bully
Theresa walked towards the boy’s room and knocked on it gently, the knob twisted and the door gave way. It was Elijah who
opened the door and he had to look up to see the tall woman before them. Theresa smiled and said, “hey!” Instead of replying,
Elijah tumed to his brothers and signalled for them to come over. Moses and Elijah strolled over to him and also saw Theresa.
“Hey...can I come in?” Moses shrugged and the boys looked at themselves as if meditating on whether to let her come in or not,
Elisha opened the door wide for her and then she walked in. She looked around the room and found it so adorable then she went
to sit on the couch in the room,” I’m so sorry I had to disturb
you.”
The boys went to sit on their bed and were facing her but didn’t say a word. “Don’t you like me? Why are you guys giving me that
look?” she asked. “Can I ask who you are to our dad?” Elijah asked.
“Oh! that...erm... In the past, your dad and I were friends, very close friend then he promised that we will marry me when we
grow up to become adult but somehow we lost contact. Now that we meet again, he had to fulfil the promise he made then,” she
said. “You do realize that he’s already with our mum yet you let him make you his wife?” Elisha asked. The kids wanted their
mum and dad to be together as husband and wife. They had no knowledge of the whole temporal marriage agreement between
Broderick and Amy but with the little things they see, they can tell that Broderick doesn’t really like their mother.
“I told him not to but he insisted, saying that he’s a man that keeps to his promise. Since I’ll be living here for now, I will like us to
be friend. I can buy you whatever you want,” she said. “There is only one thing you can do for us to make us happy,” Moses said.
“Oh! please tell me dear,” Theresa said. “Leave this mansion,” Moses declared and she furrowed her brow in shock. This little
ones just have the same mind as their mother, how could they dislike her presence here before even getting to know her? “Did
you dislike me that much?” Theresa said with a pityful look. “We did not dislike you but you should just do what we want,” Elisha
said. “Even if I want to go, Mr. Broderick will not let me. I just need you guys to understand me,” Theresa said. Even her adored
the little ones and coveted then. He wished that these little ones were hers. How can Amy be so favoured to have six beautiful
kids? “Well, that’s all we want, Mrs. Theresa,” Moses said and picked up his notebook then continue his assignment. The others
ignored Theresa and picked up their books then continued with what they were doing before she came. Theresa felt so
insignificant, how can these little ones be so rude? “I’ll have Broderick for myself but I’ll also have you all for myself, that I’m sure
of,” she mumbled and began to think of ways to get the children to adore her.
She stood and said,” it seems you guys don’t want to talk to me, I’ll take my leave now.” The children ignored her still and she
walked out shamefully, she paused when she saw Amy. Amy had just left the girl’s room and when she was about entering the
girl’s room, she was surprised to see Theresa standing before the door.
“What! what the fuck are you doing in my children’s room?” Amy asked. “Calm down, I just went to check on them,” she said.
Amy pushed her away from the door and walked inside, seeing the boys busy with their assignment, she asked,” did she hurt
you?” “Mrs. Theresa?” Moses dropped his pen and asked and Amy nodded. “No, she did not. She just came here to talk.” “What
did she talk to you guys about?”Amy asked curiosly.
“Who even remembers?” Elisha asked his brother. “We just knew she was talking, we were not really paying attention,” Elijah
said and Amy walked out of the room and saw Theresa still standing still. “Don’t ever check on my children again, I repeat, don’t
ever,” Amy said. She needed no one to tell her that Theresa was a vile woman who sure has something up her sleeves. “If
anything dares to happen to my children, I swear, I’ll not spear you.” Theresa smirked,” If I want to hurt your children, I would
have. But I didn’t hurt them so be calm.” “Get away from here now,” Amy commanded. “Or what?” “Theresa asked,” I hope you
remember that you are just a mistress here and I’m the one who has the final say over here? I’m the wife of Mr. Broderick
Alessandro while you are just a shameless mistress.” Amy wanted to slap her but cautioned, she doesn’t have to feel hurt by her
words. She had what she doesn’t have- six kids. So she can understand why she was so jealous of her. Amy wanted to walk
inside the boy’s room and lock the door with the assumption that she would leave when she get tired staying but she
remembered that she might actually go to the girl’s room. “I took Broderick from you already, guess what? I’ll take your kids from
you too,*” she smirked. “Thinking of kidnapping Broderick’s kids? you must be playing with your life,” Amy said. “Who says
anything about kidnap? I’ll be married to Broderick still and the kids will only know me as their mother, you just watch,” she
smirked wickedly and began to walk away. Amy wishes that she could evacuate the mansion, she was worried that Theresa has
a plan of hurting her child and it was impossible for her to be with her children always. She sighed and wondered if she should
agree to her father’s offer of helping her to escape from NothHill. Her father was the Mayor of the city and despite the fact that
Broderick was the most powerful here in NorthHill, her father could surely pull some strings that can let her escape from here.
That, she was sure of. She brought out her phone from her pocket and searched for her father’s contact. She sighed when she
thought of Broderick, her children’s father. How would he feel when he finds out that she had escaped with the kids? Well, guess
it’s high time for her to start putting herself first instead of other people. She wouldn’t have even get into a marriage with him in
the first place if not that she put Elizabeth’s feeling before hers. But her father sure has a selfish reason for wanting her to leave
NorthHill, her father obviously doesn’t have her interest at heart. Anyways, it’s better to just escape here with her kids. Just as
she was about dialing her father’s contact, she perceived a heavy steps approaching her, she turned and saw Broderick
Alessandro, tall and dressed in his black tailored suit. She quickly kept the phone back inside her pocket and looked at him
blankly, wondering if he wanted to check on the children. When Broderick got before her, he paused and raised his hand slowly
then place it on her cheek, “Why is your face pale?” “I’m fine.” Amy quickly replied. But she was so nervous on the inside and felt
a heat on the inside of her with his gentle and warm touch.
He took his hands off, turned to the door. that leads to the boy’s room, twisted the knob and walked inside. Apparently, he was
coming to check on the kids.
Amy sighed and didn’t know whether to call her father again for escape. She wasn’t so sure if things can ever work out between
Broderick and her. Broderick looks too tough and high for her to reach. Can a day come when they could be lovers? Can that
day ever come? Broderick doesn’t give a fuck about her before but now, he was asking why her face was pale. Should she fight
here and dethrone that bitch who is currently occupying the position of his wife. Amy was sure that Theresa has an ulterior
motive for getting married to Broderick, her intentions can not be sincere. Since Amy was already weirdly taking interest in
Broderick, she decided to give it more time and see if there is a possibility of them ending up as lovers. She sighed.
She would not be able to check on her boys anymore since Broderick had already walked inside the boy’s room. When she was
about turning to leave, she suddenly remembered her mother’s jewelry that she was bullied off by her stepmother. She wondered
if she could tell Broderick about it, perhaps, he could help her. Afterall, he even helped her with money when she needed it.
Amy decided to check on him at night when he would be less busy and tell him about it. She then walked away from there.
Once it was night, she walked to Broderick’s room and knocked on it. “Come in,” his voice sounded sternly from inside and she
opened the door and walked in. “I’m sorry to disturb you, I just want to discuss something with you,” she requested.
Broderick shut the laptop that was on his stretched lap and placed it beside him then he looked up at her, “Sit.”
She sat on a couch that was a distance away from his bed but was facing his bed,” actually...” “Is it sex that you want?”
Broderick interrupted. “What! Sex?”
“Yes, sex. You are an adult and you don’t have to feel ashamed of it. I know you feel starved of sex and you are probably jealous
as the thought of the fact that I had sex with Theresa yesterday” “You had sex with Theresa?” Amy find herself asking. A feeling
of jealousy befell her. Broderick didn’t have sex with Theresa but they were both in his room all night. He just wanted to see her
reaction. “Yes, what about it? I’m asking if you are here to demand for yours,” Broderick asked. Any was so enraged, she didn’t
even know why. She stood and tumed as she take steps towards the door, Broderick spoke, “woman! don’t dare to walk out on
me.” Amy turned to him and screamed out of frustration, “Or what?” she felt a sharp pain in her heart knowing that Broderick had
sex with Theresa but she didn’t even know why. It wasn’t like she loved him or did she? “Or I will not spare you,” Broderick said
sternly and stood. “Stay away from me and don’t call me ‘your woman’ anymore,” Amy said and that made Broderick to smile
briefly. Did he not know that calling her pet names will make her overthink? If he hates her, he should be straight forward about it
and if he was liking her, he should be... can he even ever like her? When Amy saw him smile, she wondered what was funny.
Actually, Broderick was satisfied at her reaction. The fact that she reacted this way speaks a volume about her feelings for him.
But isn’t it weird that this woman will develop feelings for her after all the torture he had made her go through. He even warned
her or was it a feeling that one can not control? Broderick thought. “Are you jealous that I have sex with my wife? Have I done
something wrong?” Broderick asked, in a rather calm voice. “I’m not jealous. Do I look like someone that is jealous? She’s your
wife, you can have sex with her all you want. I even wonder why she’s not here already or maybe she’s on her way. Keep having
fun , Mr. Broderick Alessandro,” Amy turned and wanted to leave but he grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to himself. The
pull was a forceful and sudden one that she collapses on his firm chest, “Ouch!” she winced slightly in pain. “I said, no one dares
to walk away from me. Are you a stubborn woman?” Broderick asked, his hand guarding her back firmly not giving her the
opportunity to even adjust back. “You love to bully cause of how big you are,” Amy said angrily but she hated the fact that she
was loving his alluring smell. She even weirdly felt uncomfortable in his chest. Is it weird to say she actually wanted to remain in
his arms. In the arms of a bully. Broderick smirked, he also loved the sweet smell of her dark long hair and loved the way her
breast was firmly pressed on his chest.
“Although you claim you are not jealous, I can tell you are,” Broderick said.
