Chapter 33 I’ll Carry Her
Amy squinted her eyes and eventually shut it, she felt sorrowful at the fact that he may never love her. It‘s been six years yet he still wasn‘t ready to give love a chance. People who cheat on us sometimes do not know that they are not only breaking our heart but da maging it. Amy turned and walked inside her room, she thought so hard about the possibility of Broderick falling in love with her and even her knows that if a time comes when he finally falls in love with her, then that would be a miracle. Broderi ck walked inside the executive hall the following day with his three kids. Everyone had thought in the past that the most powerful man in NorthHill was infertile, now it was time to prove to the world how fertil e the most powerful man in NorthHill was.
Moses, Elijah and Elisha were all dressed in black tailored suits and black shoe just like their father. As th ey stepped inside the hall, a lot of newscaster and journalist took the father of the father and his three so ns.
It was a beautiful sight to behold, once they stepped inside the hall that had many prominent men seated , they all set their gaze on them and with the resemblance of the kids to Broderick, they were able to guess clearly that the children were his.
Broderick went ahead to sit on the center seat at the executive table while the first three seats by the tabl e was occupied by Elijah, Moses and Elisha. “You are welcome, sir,” a lot of people on the table greeted Broderick “Thank you, meet my assistants for today‘s meeting,” Broderick gestured to Elijah and Elijah lo oked at everyone and said, “I‘m Master Elijah Alessandro, first personal assistant of Mr. Broderick Alessandro, it‘s nice meeting everyone here,” he said with a bright smile and everyone s eated at the table clapped. They loved the boldness and courage at which the little handsome boy spoke with. There was no one seated there who does not love the three kids, perhaps because they looked super handsome and glamorous just like their father. Their aura also exudes nobility
. “I‘m Elisha Alessandro, second personal assistant to Mr. Broderick Alessandro, I‘m glad I’m getting to p articipate in this glorious meeting and it‘s my great pleasure meeting everyone here,” Elisha said and was graced with numerous clap. “And I am, Moses Alessandro, third personal assistant to Mr. Alessandro. It‘s lovely meeting everyone here, ” Moses said and was graced with claps too. “Let‘s get to work,” Broderick said and the meeting commenced pro perly. The meeting went on for another two hours and eventually came to an end. Everyone immediately brought out their phone and started taking pictures of the kids. No one dared to take the picture of the kids at a time when the meeting was going on as it was against the protocol of the meeting. Broderick didn‘t stop them from taking the pictures at all, the children were his glory, he began to walk out with the children and the journalist immediately swarm around him. They were too many that his guards couldn‘t even push them all away He finally told Brett to let the journalists come in, he was ready to answer few of their questions. For the past six years, he had not honoured any interview by any journa list or by any TV station. He just doesn‘t have the time or perhaps, never been in a good mood to honour the in terview.‘ “Sir, can you tell us how your sons suddenly appear out of the blue? We never saw you with them were they were younger than this, have you been keeping them from the public?” the lucky journalist asked. “That‘s right, I‘m a public figure and I must lear n to keep some things private,” he answered.
Another journalist quickly asked,” some people are carrying a rumour that it was your late wife who deliv ered those babies before she died. Perhaps, it was the deliveries of the six children at a time that killed h er?”
MII Carry Her Remembering his late wife makes him angry but he had to caution himself, there were ma ny cameras set on him, “It wasn‘t my late wife that delivered the children. But I won‘t reveal the identity of the woman that delivered the children.” “Sir, do you love the mother of the children? Or is it a case of sur
rogate mother?” another journalist quickly asked. Broderick wasn‘t ready to answer this very question so he signalled to Brett who was at alert to dismiss the journalist, Brett and the guards immediately began to dismiss the journalist eventhough many of the m kept asking numerous questions. A few minutes after Broderick and the kids arrived home, Broderick received a call from Brett and once he answered, he spoke harshly,” I told you n ot to disturb me and that I need time to be alone.” “I‘m sorry, sir but this is an emergency. Mrs. Amy was shot today while coming back from work but luckily, the bullet hit her on her shoulder, she‘s at the hospital, sir,” Brett said. Broderick who was laying on his sofa stood at o nce,” prepare the cars, we are heading there.”
He hung the call before Brett could say a word and got dressed immediately, he ordered the maid to ens ure the children are fine until he comes. He soon got inside his car and began to get driven to the hospital. Who could have shot her? was she having grudges with anyone? As for him, he had many enemies as there were many families who wished they could be in the position that he was, he can guarantee the security of his children and himself but he can‘t guarantee the security of Amy because he never love d her But he didn‘t disclose to the world that Amy was the mother of the children? Why was she shot then?
The cars soon parked before the hospital, Broderick stepped down immediately and was led to the ward that Amy was. Any was placed in an emergency ward and had her eyes shut. “Bring me the doctor attend ing to her,” he commanded and in a jiffy, the doctor appeared. Before he could greet, Broderick asked,” how is her health?” “We have been able to re move the bullet eventhough it really pierced deep into her but not to worry, she will be fine. She‘s exhausted and needs a lot of rest,” the doctor said. Broderick looked at Amy and then thought; if anything happens to her, it would affect the happiness of the children He wanted the child ren to be happy always. “When
will she wake?” Broderick asked. “Six to seven hours, it will take that long precisely because of the injecti on she received,” the doctor said. “I‘m a public figure, I can‘t wait here that long and I can‘t also let her be here for such a long period seeing that her life isn‘t safe. She was shot, whoever did that could disguise over to the hospital,” Broderick said expecting a sound advise from the doctor. “You can carry her home, sir. I‘ll send the drugs she needs to use for the next three days for her to recover fully to Mr. Brett,” the doctor said. “Good,” Broderick said and the doctor immediately call o n the nurses, “Carry Mrs. Amy in a stretcher outside.” “Don‘t worry, I‘ll carry her,” Broderick said. Everyon e in the room was shocked, including Brett. Broderick wanted to carry a woman? huh! No one has ever i magined such. Not after he had become ruthless to women as a result of the death of his wife. “Brett, ensure that no one takes a picture or video,” he ordered and told the doctor,” what can I cover her face with that will not suffocate her?”
The doctor provided a net that will hide her face yet would not suffocate her, he used it to cover her face a
her.
This was his first time of carrying a woman in six years, he carried her downstairs and placed her gently on the backseat, he sat by the door of the car and made her place her head on his lap.
