Chapter 72 Back To Make You Mine Broderick arrived at the address that Amy had sent to him but to his surprise, the place looked very quiet. There was only a small house there and a large sea before it. He stepped down from his car and wondered if Amy and Michael had decided to perform their wedding over here. He leaned by the door of the car and placed a call across to Amy, he began to hear ringtones of a phone and he turned and saw Amy walking over to him. But what’s surprising to him was that Amy was not dressed in a wedding gown. Were they done with the wedding already? Broderick thought. “Where is the wedding holding?” Broderick asked. “There is no welding holding, Mr. Broderick. I’ve just been teasing you,” Amy said with a smile. Broderick was surprised and at the same time happy, “but why?” He asked. “Nothing really,” Amy responded. “Does that mean you and Michael don’t have any relationship at all?” Broderick asked. “Our relationship is neutral, no emotions attached,” Amy said and Broderick sighed as though he felt relief. “Then I guess we can get really close then, afterall, the one that I was supposed to get married has now been arrested,” Broderick said. “I guess so,” Amy also smiled simply. Broderick’s phone rang at this moment and he ignored. He loved this moment with Amy that he wouldn’t let a phone call ruin it. “I do have a gift for you,” Broderick said. “Can’t wait to see it,” Amy blushed. “I didn’t bring it with me but I’ll send it to your house, I’m sure you will like it,” Broderick smiled, adoring her cute face. “Hum! I don’t know why I’m curious to see the gift that the most powerful man in NorthHill wants to gift me,” Amy said. Broderick’s phone however rang again. He sighed and then Amy gestured,” please pick up, it’s not a problem.” SAS F 2 Broderick took few steps away from her and answered the call,” Brett, what’s the matter?” “The company’s business reserve had been freezed by the foreign bank we kept it in,” Brett said.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Because of how big the money that Broderick’s company transact, they keep and reserve money in foreign banks while they reserve the transactional money in one of the banks here at North Hill. “Have you sent a mail to them asking why?” Broderick asked. “Sure, they said they are currently probing the Alessandro’s family and that once they are done with their investigation, they will unfreeze our account,” Brett said. Broderick hummed and said,” let them do their investigation, afterall, we aren’t involved in anything illegal. If the company needs any money from the reserve, I’ll sponsor it from my account.” “Sir, Haven’t your accountant told you ,yet?” “About what?” “He informed me a few minutes ago that he received a mail from the foreign bank that house your assets that your account had been freezed hence they can’t issue money out to you for the time being,” Brett said. Broderick’s heart freezed. He had kept most of his asset with banks in foreign companies cause he believed they are safer there. North Hill is a developed city but not as developed as the top tier countries in the world.
Okay, let’s hope it won’t take too long time. Don’t fret about it,” Broderick said. Though he was worried at the sudden and unexpected probe but he doesn’t really need cash at the moment plus he has many banks here in North Hill that he keeps his money in “Alright, sir,” Brett said and hung the call up. Broderick remained on the spot after returning his phone back to his pocket and hoped that this was am harmless investigation and not that someone was behind it. He turned and went back to meet Amy. Amy was still all smiles and Broderick managed to smile too despite how disturbed his
heart was. Amy sensed how worrisome he was and asked, “Mr. Broderick, are you alright?” “I’m fine,” he responded and looked at the large sea, he turned back to her and asked, “can I hold your hand, please?” “Sure,” Amy responded and Broderick held her hand and lead her to the brink of the sea. The sea was so large that it was impossible for them to see the end of it. Broderick turned and was standing right before her,” can you let me call you Amy rather than Cleo?” “No, I can’t bear someone else’s name and take on someone else’s identity. I think you should just try to get use to my name,” Amy said. 1 Broderick kissed her on her forehead and told her, “I made my late mistress go through a lot of pain and I regret it every single second. I’ll try not to cause you pain.” Amy shrugged, looking at his cat blue eyes. She never knew that a day will come when Broderick will be this gentle and civil. Broderick’s phone rang again and he sighed heavily, ‘who is disturbing his romantic moment with Miss Cleo?’ He thought to himself. He actually wanted to spend a lot of time with Amy. Seeing Brett’s call again, he answered it and said, “Brett, you can call me in the next five hours. I’ll be busy until then.” “Sir, can you tell me where you are, please?” Brett asked. There was urgency in his voice. “What’s wrong again?” Broderick sensed that something was off. “I can’t say it on phone, please just tell me where you are, sir. It’s urgent,” Brett requested. “Are my children fine?” Broderick asked. When Amy heard Broderick asked about the kids, her heart thumped heavily and she set her ears keenly to what the person on the other end would respond with. “The children are fine, sir. Please send me the address of where you are, sir,” Brett requested. Broderick was with Amy and his children are also fine. These are basically the people he cared for the most. As long as the bad news that Brett want to deliver is not about them, he should be able to handle
it. He hung the call up and sent Brett the address of where he was. “Is everything alright?” Amy asked. “I would lie if I say, ‘yes.’ But when Brett comes, I’ll find out what’s going on,” Broderick said. He looked afar and saw some boats, “we should drive the boat someday just to sail around the sea.” “Yeah…” Amy looked at the boats parked at the parking lot of the sea and imagined how it will be like, only Broderick and her sailing the sea! How sweet would that be? The weather changed all of a sudden and the slightly cold atmosphere began to get very cold. When they both looked at the cloud, they could tell that a heavy rain was about to pour. The wind began to blow and Amy curved her hand around her body, “it’s getting so cold.” Broderick removed his suit and covered her body with it, leaving him with his white shirt. “You will feel cold this way,” Amy said, it was obvious his white shirt can not prevent the heavy cold that the weather was currently producing. “I have a strong body, I can survive it. Let’s wait a few more minutes for Brett then we can leave here. Is that alright by you?” He asked. “Yes,” Amy responded, shamelessly looking at his cute face. A few seconds of silence passed between them then Broderick spoke, “Or would you come closer to me so I can keep you in my hug?” Amy blushed and nodded shyly. Broderick gestured for her to come closer and she did. She laid her head on his chest gently and curved her two arms around his back, hugging him so closely She remained there and felt warmth despite the heavy wind blowing around. A car suddenly drove roughly into the arena they @ O31% 30 144 were and Brett immediately stepped down from his Lamborghini. He walked swiftly towards Broderick and looked at him with a teary gaze. Amy pulled away from Broderick’s hug slowly and when she saw the look on Brett’s face, her heart skipped wondering what has gone wrong. “Tell me what happened,” Broderick requested, he was still able to put his destabilized
emotion under control. “The Alessandro’s family had laboured so hard from generation to generation to build the biggest building in not only our country but our continent. This building is what you currently own and where our company operate from. Sir… Just a couple of minutes ago, the building caught fire and the more the fire extinguisher men try to quench the fire, the more it explodes. It was as if there were so many gas that had been placed in different rooms of the building. Though the fire had stopped but the building was badly damaged and we lost every single thing in it,” Brett said, tears streaming down heavily from his face. “I insured my family’s company against fire accident. The insurance company must answer for it,” Broderick said. “The insurance company went bankrupt a month ago and their CEO alongside their major executives travelled out of North Hill just a week ago,” Brett responded.i “This seems like a planned work. From the freezing of my account to destroying my fore father’s sweat. Whoever is behind this must be a very powerful person in North Hill.” Broderick said thoughtfully. Amy was staring at Broderick in shock, she had thought he would break down but despite the huge loss, Broderick didn’t break down at all. Or maybe he was just pretending. “Sir, what do we do?” Brett asked. “Send me the names of all the powerful families in North Hill and their previous dealing with the Alessandro’s family,” Broderick commanded. “There won’t be any need for that,” a figure appeared behind a tall tree that was not too far from them. When they all turned to see this figure, it turned out to be Michael Alessandro. His face was calm as usual but his aura was strange. ye, “Mr. Michael, what are you doing here?” Amy took a step further to Michael and asked. Broderick held her hand and pulled her closer,” don’t go to him.” “Huh?” Michael smiled and walked closer to Amy. He handed Amy a big portrait and she received it slowly, Amy checked the portrait and
saw her childhood picture, she was resting on the shoulders of Michael who also looked very young in the picture. Truth was, when Amy was ten years old, her stepmother pushed her from the top of the stairs and she fell with her head to the floor making her loose her childhood memories. She had amnesia as a result of that but had moved on since then and didn’t really see it as a big deal anymore. Amy expressed confusion and when she wanted to say something, Michael placed his finger on her lips to shut her up. “Some things are better not said before…” He motioned to Broderick and then held Amy on the second hand,” please come with me, I need to tell you something.” Amy looked at Broderick who was still holding onto her hand, she removed her hand from Broderick’s grip and took a few walks away with Michael. “Mi Ami, Michael said and caressed Amy’s hair down gently. Amy was just looking at him confused. “Mi Ami was the name I was found of calling you when you were young. I remember how we run races together in my father’s yard. I always tell you not to come over during weekends to my place cause my father is always around but you will still come cause you miss me a lot. Mi Ami! Oh Mi Ami! I have missed you so much,” Michael said, “I’m confused, Mr. Michael,” Amy said, trying to make a meaning of what he was saying. “We are childhood lovers,” Michael said, his face full of emotion. Amy furrowed her brow in shock and took a step back,” I think you must have made a mistake.” Michael smirked,” I came back to NorthHill for two reasons, one of the reasons is to work out our relationship again.” “Mr. Michael, I don’t know you when I was young so you must have mistaken my face with that of someone else,” Amy said. Michael smiled, looking at her cute face lovingly,” you had a loss of memory. You can ask your father about me, he will tell you of
