Michael stood upright and wait until the face of the female figure became clearer, seeing that it was Amy, he wondered what she was doing at the hotel. Was she working here or...?
Amy walked towards him and smirked, "Congratulations."
"Amy!" He called as if he was seeing a ghost. Not like he didn't know he will meet her at NorthHill, it was just that he wasn't expecting to meet her here.
"Don't act like you are surprised to see me," Amy said.
Michael smiled, "nice to see you again, Amy."
Amy then walked away from him while Michael simply watched. He wondered why she looked so confident before him? He was the most powerful man in NorthHill now yet she looked fearless.
Later in the evening, Amy was holding her phone and was smiling, more like she was blushing. She loved what she was seeing.
Joan noticed the expression on her face and commented," you look exceptionally happy."
Amy looked at her and nodded then continued what she was doing. Joan came to her side suddenly and tried to peep into what she was looking at that was making her smile but Amy quickly covered the phone.
"Let me see," Joan demanded playfully.
"No," Amy tried to stand but Joan pulled her back suddenly, the phone fell from Amy's hand to the bed and Joan quickly picked it and ran towards a corner of the room.
She chuckled on seeing Broderick's Instagram page, apparently, Amy had been checking his picture.
Joan laughed and threw the phone back at her.
"Satisfied now?" Amy asked.
"You still love him so much," Joan said and Amy smiled only without saying a word. Ever since Amy got home, she couldn't stop thinking about the image of Broderick in only a towel and she couldn't even take the image of his long and hard dick that was glaring through his towel off his mind so she resorted to clicking on his Instagram page to drool on his hot pictures.
"I can see it in your face," Joan sat back and smiled," don't worry, he will be fully yours soon."
Joan got back to what she was doing, a couple of minutes later, she stood and told Amy," I want to get an ice cream down there "
Amy knew the ice cream joint that she was referring to so she nodded and said," get me one too, please "
"Sure," Joan then walked out.
Amy tossed the phone aside and drawled her laptop closer. Enough of the fantasy, she needs to work really hard to grow the revenue of her company. It may seem impossible but she believed that she can even be more richer than the Alessandro's family if she can work hard cause Meedaq.com kept getting popular and even more popular everyday. A foreign popular multibillion dollar company even made an offer to buy it yesterday but she told Joan to decline the offer. Though the amount they wanted to buy it was mouthwatering but she believed that she could even earn more from it in the future.
Her phone chirped and she answered, the familiar voice that came through," hello, this is..."
"...Broderick Alessandro, I know. How are you?" Amy asked.
Broderick smiled from the other end," Cool. Can you send me the address of your house?"
"Did you want to come over?"
"That's right."
"And your wife? How will she feel about it?" Amy asked.
"Don't worry about her. Please send me the address." Broderick quickly hung up so she wouldn't have the chance to say no.
Even if Broderick come, can they have their privacy considering the fact that Joan is in the house?
Amy sent him the address of the house and added, "please don't come with your escorts." Coming with his escorts will attract attention and she doesn't want that.
"Got it." Broderick texted back almost immediately she sent her message.
Amy was nervous and she didn't know why, she couldn't concentrate on what she wanted to do on her laptop anymore.
A knock landed on her door few seconds later but she ignored. Joan can be funny sometimes. She knew it was Joan so she ignored but the knock came through again.
"Joan, fucking come in and stop disturbing me," she said, not taking her face away from the laptop.
The door opened and she heard slow steps approach her, her eyes darted to the shoes and realized that it was that of a male.
'What!'
She raised her gaze and her face fell on Michael and Carlton.
She stood immediately and said," excuse me?"
"Hey Amy! How are you?" Michael greeted.
Amy immediately walked outside then said to them," come out, please." How can she stay in the same room with two people that have caused her pain in the past.
Seeing them was like seeing her enemy.
Michael and Carlton walked out to meet with her.
"Amy, you are so disrespectful. How can you tell us to come out to meet with you?" Carlton asked.
"You don't expect me to feel comfortable talking to you alone in the room, do you?" Amy asked. "Considering the fact that you even came to my place unannounced. I didn't give you permission to come yet you came, that to me is rude."
"What! Won't you apologize and take us inside now?" Carlton was harsh but Amy scoffed.
"Why are you acting like you are my father? You are not one or did you forget?" Amy asked.
"I may not be your biological father but I paid for your school fee all through your days in school till you finish in the university and I provided food and everything you need for you."
"Except love." Amy said sharply.
"I can't love the daughter of a gigolo. Your real father is a gigolo. Did you not know that your mother was seen dead in the house of the gigolo she was keeping secretly?" Carlton asked bluntly and harshly.
Amy thought she had grown beyond being hurt by people's words but hearing what her father was saying now hurt her to the gut. She clenched her jaw and almost cry.
Michael then spoke gently, "Mayor, please don't be too harsh on her. She's just a delicate woman."
"She should at the very least be grateful for how I helped her in the past. Whom did she think she is?" Carlton was furious.
"Please be calm," Michael said to Carlton.
Amy looked at Michael angrily and said, "you know the truth about my real parents. Since you have become friends with the mayor now, why don't you tell him?"
"Some secretes needs to be revealed at the right time," Michael said.
"You are evil!" Amy rebuked Michael angrily.
Her father seems to trust Michael now. Was it not Michael who found the gigolo who was actually the secrete boyfriend of Edith and the biological father of the mayor? Michael even made the gigolo confess the truth before her but now, he wouldn't tell her father the truth.
"What did the both of you want?" Amy asked angrily.
"Don't dare to speak rudely to me, bitch!" Carlton raised her hand up to slap Amy but Michael held it.
"Carlton!" Michael shouted on him," be fucking calm."
Carlton withdrew his hand angrily and looked away, breathing erratically.
"Amy, please welcome us inside. We won't hurt you." Michael said.
"See who is talking?" Amy smirked," you forcefully took me out of NorthHill and now, you have made meost what is most precious to me."
"I can help you get everything back." Michael was calm.
"The last time you helped me, I regret it. Keep your help to yourself. Now I ask the both of you, what are you here for?
"Amy. Since you have admitted I am not your father then pay me back all the amount I spent on you since your mother died until you finished from the university?" Carlton suddenly demanded.
"Was that why you came here? Anyway, state the amount and I'll give you," Amy said.
"What! Did you think I can calculate it? It's too much. You have to pay me back," Carlton said.
"But how do I pay you back if I did not know the specific amount?" Amy asked.
Carlton coughed briefly and said," see Michael..."
"I'm not blind."
Carlton felt insulted but ignored," Michael is now the most powerful man in NorthHill."
"Even a new born baby knows that. So what?"
Carlton felt like punching Amy in the face for being rude to him but he cautioned and continued, "Pay me back all I have done to you by agreeing to be his wife." Carlton brought out a book and said," here is the marriage certificate with the name of the both of you, please sign it." He added," you don't have to go to the civil bureau, we got it for you to make your life easier. Don't forget you will become the most powerful woman in NorthHill as soon as you sign it."
Amy scoffed hard," what did you take me for, Mr. Carlton. A fool?"
When Carlton heard Amy refer to him as Mr. Carlton and not 'father,' his heart grew cold and he felt like chewing his tongue. Secretly, he actually loved Amy and wished for her to be his daughter but he has been convinced that Amy's mother was a cheat and that Amy was the daughter of a gigolo.
"Amy, the mayor is not trying to make a fool out of you. He loved you and want you to grow to power," Michael said.
"Mr. Carlton, you abandoned me for years and suddenly called me and deceived me to suddenly come with a life threatening issue not knowing you simply want to marry me off," Amy said as she remembered how she agreed to marry Elizabeth's son who was Broderick a long time ago.
"And now, you want me to marry Michael. Have I now become a robot without a thinking faculty that you can control? What's more surprising is that you are not even my father yet you act like one whenever you want me to do something," Amy said to Carlton then looked at Michael with disdain.
"And you... You won't ever give up a lost cause. Trying to force your love on me. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You are an adult with brain and there are thousands of other beautiful women, why are you so interested in a woman who already has six kids for a man and had been married to another man for three years in the past. Are there not other single women you could pick? Can you sit down and think about it or are you just being stupid?" Amy asked.
"Amy!" Michael shouted. He felt very insulted. "How dare you call me stupid?"
"Because if you are not stupid, you would not be forcing yourself on me. Enough of being polite with you. Get some senses into your skull," Amy said.
Even Carlton was stunned that Amy could speak to Michael this way. Ever since Michael had become the most powerful man in NorthHill, even him had to be careful of what to say to him.
"I love you, Amy but that doesn't mean I would stand you insulting me. Will you sign this marriage certificate?" Michael asked as he collected the marriage certificate from Carlton.
Amy collected the marriage certificate from him and asked, "can I get a pen?"
"Sure," Michael pulled out a pen from his suit pocket and handed it over to her.
Amy began to write nonsense on the papers, then she tore it mercilessly.
Carlton dare not to say a word than to watch what Michael will do to her.
"People go to the civil bureau to get marriage certificate. No one gets the honour of being given a marriage certificate at home. But you abused it. Amy, why are you tempting my anger?"
Amy bent, picked the peices of paper on the floor and gathered it then she stood and threw it to Michael's face, "now get out of my house."
Michael was so angry, he couldn't control his anger anymore. He raised his hand and slap her.
Amy felt a burning sensation on her cheek. He was the first man on earth who will raise his hand up to slap him.
Whereas, someone was seated in a sport car watching the scene and when he saw a slap land on Amy's cheek. He felt as if he was the one who was slapped. He shut his eyes for a few seconds, opened the door of his car and stepped out. Then he began to walk towards them.
Once Amy saw the man, she ran to him with tears pouring from her face and leaned on his body, crying," please save me. They are bullying me."
The man's eyes turned red, he looked like a beast hungry for blood. His fist were clenched heavily.
When Michael saw the man, he smiled and said, "Broderick, what are you doing here?" He began to walk towards him.
As soon as he got before Broderick, he threw a heavy punch to Michael's mouth making him fall. Blood gushed out of his mouth.
Carlton was shocked, even Amy had to disengaged from Broderick's body. She could feel fire emanating from Broderick's body.
Michael shouted from the floor that he was," youuu dare to hhhit me!" He couldn't speak clearly cause his lips had become swollen and his handsome face had turned into an ugly one.
Michael felt so much pain that he stood from the floor and shouted, "guards!"
Three guards ran quickly towards Broderick, Broderick beat them all to stupor until they stopped breathing. The atmosphere became very tense and fearful.
Michael didn't come with many escorts since his coming to Amy's house was civil.
When Michael saw how Broderick defeated three men easily, he was scared and quickly brought out his phone in an attempt to call the Inspector General of police. Broderick kicked the phone away from his hand and threw a punch to his stomach making him cough out blood. He almost coughed out his intestine cause Broderick's blow was as heavy as a mountain.
Michael felt as though life was crawling slowly out of his mouth, he had to arch his back to keep breathing. The pain in his stomach and mouth was too intense. He doubt if he will ever be able to walk properly again.
"Who is this man?"Broderick pointed to Carlton. Carlton immediately began to adjust back fearfully. Broderick began to walk towards Carlton like an hungry lion walking towards his trapped prey.
Before Broderick got before him, the old man was already urinating on his body, he clenched his laps in shame and quickly knelt before him, "please don't hit me." He was not as young as Michael, if a punch of Broderick could make Michael cough out blood, then such blow would definitely make him cough out his lungs and liver. The old man began to cry. He wasn't ready to die.
Broderick raised his hand in anger but someone held it from behind, he turned and saw Amy. Amy shook his head with a pleading look, he can't let him hurt her father.
But during this period, Michael had struggled to pick up his phone and call the Inspector General of police. About fifteen cop cars suddenly drove in and numerous cops began to step down with their guns.
