An Aggressive Loud Bang Of The Door
About two days later, Amy laid on the sofa at the large yard behind her quarters, she had a glass cup of drink beside her. The past two days for her has been so mesmerizing as she spend her free times with Broderick. There is nothing has beautiful as being able to spend time with the one you love the most.
Although Broderick looks like someone who is just coming out of his dark shell, Amy beleived that he would soon step out fully of his shell and be a free spirited man that he used to be. The only thorn in her flesh was the fact that Broderick was blind.
Though Broderick assured her he is working hard towards healing from his blindness. Since Broderick had overcame all the challenges he had faced in the past, Amy could only hope that he would overcome this too.
She took a sip from the cup of wine and loved how relaxed she felt. The environment was also quiet and serene. And thinking about the horrible fate that had befallen Martha makes her glad. Eventually, everyone's evil will catch up on them, it's just a matter of time.
In Amy's relaxed state, she heard a step behind her and she smiled beleiving that it was Broderick but a strange voice spoke," Miss Amy."
Amy turned and saw the man, he was Broderick's bodyguard, "hey!"
"We would be cleaning up this place in the next one hour, I just came to inform you," he said.
"Oh! Got it," Amy said then stood, she was actually dressed in only a bikini top and short and she didn't like how the PA just barged in," next time, I think you should find a better way of communicating to me and not intruding on my privacy this way," she rebuked.
He walked towards Amy and said with a straight face," I know that and I actually did it on purpose."
She frowned and asked," why? You knew it was wrong yet you did it. Do I have to report you to the president?"
"I wouldn't advise it," he said.
Amy expected him to apologize but he didn't feel remorseful at all, also, telling her he wouldn't advise her to tell Broderick about his act sounds rather like a threat.
He spoke a few seconds later, "I actually find you attractive, miss Amy."
"Are you out of your mind? How could you say such to me? I've had enough now," Amy stormed towards the table that her phone was and placed a call across to Broderick, once the call got answered, she said," I was at the yard behind the quarters having fun when your personal assistant barged saying that this place would be cleaned in the next one hour. I tried to correct him that he should find a better way to communicate such to me and not just appear unannounced."
Amy continued, "he said he knew his act was wrong but he didn't apologize. What's even worse, he told me he finds me attractive. What sort of a disrespect is that?"
"Ma, this is Broderick's secretary. Mr. Broderick went to EastHill for an urgent assignment. He told us he would be back in three days time, didn't he tell you this?" The female secretary asked.
Amy was shocked. Broderick travelled without informing her?
"Why are you with his phone cause the line I'm calling right now is his personal mobile number and not his official line," Amy said.
"He dropped his phone behind, ma. I actually thought he would inform you," the secretary said.
"Where is Broderick? What did you do to him?" Amy had a ill feeling about this. She thought that Broderick had probably been kidnapped cause how would she travel without informing her.
"Mr. Broderick left here with escorts, ma. We didn't do anything to him," the secretary tried to sound polite as much as she could.
Amy hung the call up angrily and became very worried.
"You don't have to worry, miss. Amy. Mr. Broderick will be back in three days time." The PA walked towards Amy and handed over a letter to her.
She accepted the letter and opened it swiftly then read the content letter, it was Broderick's message to her telling her he was sorry for leaving without informing her but that when he comes back in three days time, he would explain it all to her.
Though the handwriting wasn't that of Broderick, the signature there was that of Broderick.
Why would Broderick go to another country considering the delicate state that he is. A blind man can't really do much, Amy thought.
'How can I be so sure Broderick wrote this?" She asked his PA.
"The signature is that of Mr. Broderick," Broderick's PA replied.
Of course she knows that but the handwriting isn't that of Broderick. "Presidents don't write letters themselves, their secretary does." The PA explained.
"This is not an official letter, this is a personal letter, why would his secretary be the one to write this?" Amy asked and suddenly realized that it will be impossible for Broderick to write by himself considering the fact that he is blind. Maybe he told someone to write the letter for him.
Nonetheless, it's disturbing that he travelled without letting her know. Did she really trust those in the presidential lodge that much that he believed they can't hurt her and the kids?
Amy squeezed the letter and walked away from the PA.
"Amy," the PA called and Amy turned to him angrily," what?" She was even annoyed that this man didn't address him with the 'Mrs.' figure. How rude is he?
"Please, I need us to talk," he said.
"You are rude. You are only Broderick's PA and you have gone pass your boundaries, I'll wait until my husband comes back," with that said, she dissapeared from his presence.
When it was night, after getting her children to sleep, she put a video call across to Joan and after she had answered it, they talked first about work after which she told him about Broderick PA's rude act.
"I think he's a suspect, cause why would he tell you he finds you attractive and even call you by your name knowing fully well that you are his boss's wife?" Joan asked.
"I can't understand. I will only wait for Broderick to come," Amy said.
Joan advised her to be watchful of the guy, they had a gist about other random things and even cracked joke after which the call came to an end. The video call lasted for three hours and five minutes.
While Amy laid on the bed, she couldn't stop thinking about Broderick. Now that he's the president, her life and that of the kids should be a bed of roses.
Amy then suddenly thought of what the secretary said about Broderick, the secretary had said that Broderick went to EastHill. Knowing that Brett was currently the king at EastHill, she decided to reach him to ask if Broderick is truly at EastHill.
She put a call across to Brett and her heart never stopped throbbing as the call rang, she hoped earnestly that Brett would pick up the call. She just wanted to be sure about Broderick's whereabout.
Luckily, the call got answered by Brett when it was almost coming to an end, "Brett! Brett!"
"Hey, Amy, how are you and the kids?" Brett's voice was calm.
"I'm not fine. Is Broderick there?" She asked.
Brett was quiet for a while and said," well, yes."
"Oh! Please give him the phone, he had left here without informing me," Amy said.
"Actually, Broderick had led our soldiers to battle," Brett said.
"What did you say?" Amy assumed she didn't hear what he said well.
"As a king, it's my duty to lead my soldiers to battle but I don't have any fighting skill, I've always been into office work all my life. If I lead the soldiers into the world war going on, I'll loose brutally so Broderick came my aid. Afterall, I'm only here as a king at his command," Brett said.
"What world war? Which country is fighting with which?" Amy asked and kept wondering how Broderick, who is a blind man who lead war. Would it not be better for Brett with no fighting skill to lead a war than for Broderick with with the best fighting skill to lead a war?
"Six countries came together and sent a letter to me telling me to step down as the king of EastHill, afterall, Nolan is no longer the president of NorthHill. I asked Broderick if I should step down but he said 'No,'" Brett said and added, "Broderick told me to send a letter back to them that we will be ready for the war to which I did."
Brett continued," Broderick is the god of war and has five big countries who would do anything at his command. He came over here with the soldiers of NorthHill, we selected some loyal soldiers of EastHill alongside the five other countries under Broderick then went to war. The war started three hours ago and we are hoping it wouldn't take long for us to defeat them," Brett said.
"The good news is, if we defeat these six countries, Broderick would dominate them too and they would would all become a subject of Broderick." Brett said.
"Did Broderick actually led these thousands of soldiers to war?" Amy asked.
"Yes, he's the captain of the battle. The previous god of war, Sir Wesley also accompanied him as a god father and someone who can give advise to him when needed," Brett said.
"Did you know that Broderick can not see?" Amy asked.
"He confided in me and sir Wesley about his predicament and it's our duty to seal our mouth on this, being blind can't stop him from fighting. Broderick is danger sensitive and will win battles even in his state," Brett said.
"How can you be so sure? I'm really worried. We can't be sure if Broderick will really win the battle," Amy said.
"Yes, war isn't certain to win but Broderick alongside Sir Wesley stands an higher chance. Broderick didn't tell you cause he knew you would stop him from coming to fight so he had to drop a letter behind," Brett said.
"But he's the president here, how could he leave his position abruptly?" Amy asked.
"He didn't leave his position. What he told the parliament at NorthHill was that he was going for a brief assignment here at EastHill and would be back in three days. Presidents go to other countries for up to three weeks vacation, it's allowed in the constitution, so don't worry about his absense. Plus Broderick told us he ensured that everything was set before he left," Brett said.
"Well, I know Broderick is a genius, I'll wish him the best then and hope that he comes home safely," Amy said.
"He will. We just have to be optimistic. How are the kids?" Brett asked.
"They are fine," Amy said and added," I need to sleep now, bye."
"Alright."
Amy hung the call up and prayed that Broderick will win the war he has gone to fight. When she was almost fading into sleep, she had a loud cry and she firstly sat upright to know where the cries were coming from.
She relaxed when she confirmed that the voice crying was that of an adult so nothing is wrong with her kids. She then went to her window and slide it open, then saw a man holding his leg and crying under a tree.
What could be wrong with him? Amy walked out of her room, checked on her kids and realized that they were sound asleep then she walked out of the quaters. The presidential lodge was very large and secured. Where the man was crying from was also in the presidential lodge. She walked towards the place fearlessly and realized that the man was Broderick's annoying PA.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I used my leg to hit a nail," the man showed her blood coming out from his leg. When Amy saw how injured he is, the hatred she had for him vanished and she quickly squatted before him and held his leg," oh my gosh! The injury is much."
The man nodded and cried even more.
"Can you manage to come over to my quaters, I have first aid?" Amy asked.
"Okay, but please help me up," he demanded.
"Sure," Amy helped him up and even helped him to the front of her quarters. When she remembered that he said a few hours ago that he found her attractive, she suddenly didn't feel comfortable about taking him inside the house so she said," please wait here, I can't take you inside for personal reasons but I will be here soon with the first aid kit."
"Not a problem. Ouch!" The man winced in pain and gestured for Amy to help him to sit.
Amy helped him to sit on the pavement before the quarters and quickly rushed inside the room that the first aid kit was. As soon as she carried the first aid box, she heard an aggressive loud bang of the door.
