Chapter 63 The Gigolo is Her Father “I can’t let him inside my house, you are the one that made my father hate me, you vile man,” Amy rebuked the man as she shot him a very disgusting look. “Fine, then he will have to confess here,” Michael said then turned to the gigolo,” speak the truth.” “I was paid by Mrs. Edith to…” He swallowed, a look of guilt was glaring on his face. He knew he dared not to hide any word cause he’s well aware of how powerful Michael Alessandro was. Only few people know the secrete underground power that Michael Alessandro wills and he happens to be one of the few people. “I was paid to kidnap your mother and kill her, then place her dead body in my house and lied that she died under me during a sex session,” the gigolo said. “You killed my mother?” Amy asked in shock. Until today, she thought her mother died by accident. “I did,” he confessed. He knew he had already reached his dead end. He was ready to accept whatever his fate would be after this but he only agreed to confess the truth so that his family can be spared. Tears streamed down from Amy’s face, she felt terribly pained that her heart clutched tightly together as if it would stop beating. “One more thing that I must say before Mr. Michael would decide my fate, I’m Martha’s biological father,” he declared. Amy furrowed his brow in shock,” so Edith was cheating on my father with you? And lied that it was my mother who was cheating?” Amy said, feeling an excruciating pain and anger in her bones and marrows. “Edith never loved your father in the first place, she’s only with him because of the money and so many properties she would inherit after his death,” the gigolo revealed. This was not the time to cry, Amy cleaned the tears on her face and said,” Mr. Michael, before you decide his fate, I want you to take him to my father to confess to him.” “It’s easy for you to beleive but your father has being deceived by your stepmother, hence, the gigolo will need more evidence to tender as a prove to convince your father,” Michael said. “I have a DNA result that proved that Edith is mine, I can present that before the mayor,” the gigolo said. Amy wondered why the gigolo was corporating. Wasn’t he supposed to be stubborn and reluctant to spill the truth. Amy had no idea that the man was only trying to save his family. Michael had told him that as long as he corporate and reveals the whole
truth, he would spare his family. “Oh! That’s enough evidence, right?” Amy asked Michael. “Yes, shall we go now?” Michael asked. “Hold on, let me put on my veil,” Amy said and walked inside. She came back with her veil and in a jiffy, they were all inside Michael’s car As Michael drives, Amy wondered why he wasn’t living a flashy life like Broderick. The Alessandro’s family are known for their affluence yet Michael looked so calm. Even his car was moderate and it will be hard for anyone to guess that he’s a billionaire. Or maybe he’s not She had demanded two things from Michael, first was for Michael to find out the truth about her mother’s death, second was for him to break the relationship between her father and her stepmother. The first request has been done in less than one week that she made the request if the gigolo reveal the truth with evidence to her father, that will automatically break the relationship between her father and her stepmother. Then it will be her turn to grant his request Amy wondered what this man may want. Anyways, she will find out
Nobody said a word while they were inside the car, it was like three strangers were inside the car. The car soon pulled over betere the Owen’s mansion and they all stepped down one after the other. The two men alongside Amy walked towards the door of the mansion and Michael planted a knock on the door. In a jiffy, the door was opened and Edith appeared, Not recognizing Michael, she judged from the cloth he was wearing that he may not be among the first class citizen of the country and then spoke rashly,” who are you?” She soon sighted a man behind him and another woman behind him. Since Amy was wearing a veil, Edith couldn’t recognize her. She hasn’t recognize the man behind Michael too cause he had his head lowered.
*My name is Michael Alessandro,” Michael declared. Edith furrowed her brow in shock. Seeing that the man before her was connected to the Alessandro’s family, she quickly humbled herself and said,” Oh my! So nice to meet you, Mr. Michael. Did you come to see me?” Her voice was now humble. “I’m here to meet the mayor,” he said. “Oh! Erm…the mayor is sick but you can still come in,” Edith gestured and the three people before her walked inside. Edith perceived a familiar smell and then watched the back of the two people behind Michael and thought to herself, why did the woman looked like Amy and why did the man looked like her secrete boyfriend? Her heart began to palpitate and she quickly closed the door and ran towards the three people that were now standing at the center of the living room. Edith was now very curious to see the faces of the two people behind Michael. Once she got before the three people again, the gigolo raised his head and as his face met with that of Edith, her heart fell into a bottomless abyss. “You!” Edith shouted, she almost fainted. “What are you doing here?” “Why are you surprised to see the father of your daughter?” The gigolo asked with a smirk, “where is the mayor?” Edith’s heart began to thump in fear, it looked as if he was here to spill the entire truth that she had kept hiding over the years This will not only break the relationship between her and the Mayor, but the Mayor will punish her and her daughter severely. Will she be able to stand such punishment. “What are you here for?” Edith asked the gigolo To reveal the truth. Take us quick to the mayor,” the gigolo requested. ‘Do that quick or you will be a victim of my anger,” Michael spoke to Edith with power. Edith dared not to oblige, she began to take the three people to the mayor’s room. Her heart beating abnormally. Infact, one could hear the sound of her heart that was thumping heavily. Sweats had immediately covered her forehead. Was this how the secrete she had been hiding will be revealed? Haaa! When they got before the door, she placed her sweaty and shivering hand on the door, the aftermath of the revelation will not
be good at all for her. She swiftly removed the pin on her hair and hit the gigolo with it right on his neck. The gigolo began to bleed immediately, his hand on his neck. Michael didn’t forsee such a vile move. “Woman? How dare you do this before me?” Michael asked, his face turning into a murderous one. I’ll rather die with the secrete buried than to live with the secrete exposed,” she said and the door opened at that moment. The sick mayor had heard of the commotion before his door and had come to see for himself. But not only did he see a tall man lying on the bed and bleeding, he also saw his ‘wife,’ Edith, on the floor, dead. – “Edith? Edith?” The mayor called and immediately squatted before her. Michael was surprised to see Edith on the floor pretending to be dead. He didn’t lay hands on her at all yet she pretended to be dead. Oh! How venomous is this woman! He thought to himself. Amy never expected for things to turn this way, Amy was scared that the gigolo will die. Though the gigolo deserves death for killing her mother but not now, he is the only one who knows the truth and can reveal it. If the gigolo dies, it’s like the secrete will remain buried for life. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” The Mayor screamed at Michael and quickly called the ambulance for his wife. While waiting for the ambulance, he asked brokenheartedly,” what did you do to my wife? I’ll get you arrested. You are one of my enemies, right?” When the mayor was about dialing the call of the cheif of police, Michael spoke. “My name is Michael Alessandro The mayor paused, he knew when Michael was young as Michael lived his early days here at North Hill, he travelled abroad after he was done with college, Michael’s father and the mayor were business partners. He stood and examined his face well only then did he confirm, Where they were was a bit dark so he had not been able to figure out his identity by a mere glance. “Michael! You are back in the city. What happened to my wife?” He asked, almost crying. Michael shookNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
his head and thought, how can a man be this deceived? He was even almost crying for a woman who was clearly a gold digger. The ambulance team came and carried the gigolo and Edith away. Amy felt very bad but trusted that Michael will get her out of here without complications. “We didn’t do anything to your wife, otherwise, we would have been on the run. Or did you see any blood in any part of her body hurt? The man who was spilling blood was one of us and…” Michael wanted to say that it was Edith who hit the gigolo but he understood that the mayor trusted his wife so much and will never believe. “Go on,” the mayor was curious. “How is your health, mayor? My team and I came to check on you cause I heard you are not fine,” Michael ignored his question and asked. “Oh! But I kept my sickness away from the public, anyways, please come to the living room,” the mayor gestured. “We have to be on our way cause of one of us that is seriously struggling between life and death. See you some other time, Mr. Carlton Owen,” Michael said but quickly added. “And…how is your daughter, Amy?” Carlton’s face fell into that of sadness and he answered,” she’s dead.” “Dead? It must be your fault that she’s dead. Why aren’t you protective of her?” Michael asked. Carlton sighed,” it’s very complicated. Sometimes I think she’s my daughter cause I love her. Sometimes I think she’s not cause have many evidences that she’s not my daughter. But when I heard about her death, I felt like a part of me died, I was hurt to the brim that I couldn’t eat nor sleep anymore. See me growing lean! Did you know that I fell sick because of her death?” Carlton already had tears on his face. Amy began to cry underneath her veil, she couldn’t control herself. She had always loved her father despite how cruel her father had been to her over the years, what she didn’t know was that her father still loved her secretly but as long as he’s with Edith, it will be impossible for him to admit her as his daughter.
“It hurts so bad!” Carlton cried, unashamed of the presence of the two people before him. “Did you love your wife, Mr. Carlton? Or…should I say your new wife?” He asked. Carlton looked at Michael and sighed,” I do. I love Edith.” it now makes sense to Michael why Carlton could be easily deceived. Anyone in love is blind. No wonder they say love is blind. “We will talk some other time, Mr. Calrton,” Michael said and gestured for Amy that they should leave only then did Carlton have a look of Amy Why was this woman standing like Amy and why is her face covered with a veil? Carlton thought. “Can I ask whom this person is?” Carlton asked Michael, motioning to Amy. “She is my personal assistant. She had an accident in her face, ever since then, she had been covering her face,” once Michael finished saying this, Amy coughed. It was a reflex action that she didn’t have control over. “Amy?”
