Chapter 74 Please, Accept My flowers Nell ignored Martha’s question and said to him,” Mr. Ba, it’s so much of an honour to meet with you. I’m the first lady of the Alessandro’s family. ” Nell paused, expecting the man to say something but he just kept mute, so she continued,” Broderick Alessandro, my godson was the reason behind our company’s fall. He’s full of himself and sees himself as god. Hence, he made a lot of enemies. He does not know how to be civil.” “What’s the point?” Ba asked harshly. “I’m saying that although we have lost everything and will soon become the ridicule of the society, my second godson, Michael Alessandro is working hard to take the company up to where it use to be. So I’ll like for your family and mine to be friends,” Nell said. “If you want your family be friend with me, bring Broderick Alessandro here and let him bow before me, then I’ll consider your request,” Ba said.. “That wouldn’t be a problem. Broderick is a useless nonentity now, he would do anything in his capacity for our family to become friend with you,” Nell said. i Nell had reasoned that as long as her family is in good terms with Ba, the new most powerful man in North Hill, then no one would be able to ridicule or bully the Alessandro’s family. The mayor coughed nervously and said,” Mr. Ba, thanks for giving us the chance to meet with you. With the little research I make about you, I don’t think you have a woman with you, I may be wrong,” The mayor said. Hoping that Ba doesn’t get angry. “So?” Ba asked. “Erm…this beautiful daughter of mine is a virgin and doesn’t have any boyfriend. I would like to give her to you, if that pleases you, Mr. Ba,” Carlton said. Ba glanced at Martha who tried to hide her face from this ugly and scary man. “I’m not interested in her,” Ba said, making Martha let out a thankful sigh of relief. “Erm…Mr. Ba, would you at least grace my birthday then? It’s happening in seven days time?” Carlton asked. He quickly added,
“Please, sir.” “I won’t come. It’s time to leave,” he said, stood and walked away from them. The people seated in the living room looked at themselves in surprise. “godmother, this man is too strict? He looks too impossible to reach,” Carlton let out in frustration. “As long as he has blood and water running through him, we’ll get him. Let’s leave,” Nell said and stood. Others stood and walked out with her. Ba stood before his mirror with a very stern and harsh gaze, “a better time to fish out whom my real enemies are,” he said to himself then pulled away the ugly and scarred mask off his face. “My name is Broderick Alessandro. I’ll forever remain the most powerful man in North Hill,” Ba said very strongly and powerfully. Ba is Broderick Alessandro. He had been a genius every since he was young, he learnt coding at a very young age and had helped many companies develop a website but beyound that, he had built a world popular digital product that was competing with the likes of Facebook and Instagram. However, he hid his identity as the owner of the successful digital product. He used the money earned from it to build the biggest companies in neighboring cities and after he became the heir to the Alessandro’s family company, he worked hard to skyrocket the annual profit and he immediately began to make foreign connection and establishing super mega companies in many continents. As of now, he has built the most successful companies in four continents. However, he was using a different name. Truth was, he already made his wealth even before he became the heir to the
Alessandro’s family company. Of course, loosing Alessandro’s corporation was a loss but compared to his actual networth, he had barely loss one percent of his money. But this wasn’t all about Broderick Alessandro. He was called the god of war for a reason. He’s too mysterious a man. He felt greatly dissapointed in Nell whom he regarded as his godmother and trusted dearly. The way he was painting him was as though he was incompetent, yet, he has literally doubled the Alessandro’s company annual revenue and donates a percentage of
the annual income of the company to the account of every members of the Alessandro’s family home and abroad. He wondered when Nell get close to the mayor’s family. His phone beeped and he went to pick it up, seeing Brett, he answered the call and said, “Brett, what’s the matter?” “There is a land rover that just park before Miss. Cleo’s apartment, I’m guessing it may be for…” “…Michael,” Broderick interrupted. “I’ll be on my way,” Broderick said and walked out of the mansion. This time, he didn’t cover himself with a mask. In a jiffy, he parked behind the land rover and stepped out of it. He suddenly sighted Michael standing before Amy’s door. He walked towards the door and when Amy saw him, Amy’s stern face immediately turned into a smiling one,” Mr. Broderick, welcome.” “Thank you, Miss. Cleo. Can I come in?” Broderick asked. “Sure.” Amy responded to Broderick and turned to Michael, “Mr. Michael, I guess we would see some other time and please, don’t come to my house unannounced again,” Amy said. When Broderick was about to take a step in, Michael grabbed his shirt roughly and pulled him very harshly. “What! Mr. Michael, what are you doing?” Amy asked in shock. Michael ignored her and said to Broderick, “Are you aware that someone else is now the most powerful man in North Hill? You don’t have any respect anymore hence, you can even be bullied by a third class citizen of our city”. Broderick looked at Michael’s hand that was folding his tailored suit and shirt and said, “I know that. But the question is, why are you holding me roughly?” Amy felt pityful for Broderick when he said those words. The news had also reached her that a scarred and ugly man has
emerged as the new most powerful man in North Hill and his wealth and power was beyound the extraordinary making Broderick to become a commoner. “Mr. Michael, please stop bullying Mr. Broderick …just because he’s no longer the most powerful man in our city doesn’t mean you should treat him this way,” Amy said and tried to remove Michael’s hand from Broderick’s cloth. Michael loved how Amy’s hand was on his while she was trying to withdraw his hand from Broderick’s cloth so he pulled his hand away and said to him,” The new most powerful man in North Hill, Ba… and I are friends. Infact, I was the reason why he rose to power. He does whatever I want at my command. Broderick, I’m warning you, don’t dare me or you will suffer greatly.” Broderick immediately expressed fear, “Oh my! Ba is your friend? Hahaha ..I’m crying.” Broderick was being sarcastic. ‘If only this idiot knows that he’s Ba, he won’t be standing here shamelessly lying,’ Broderick thought to himself. “You think this is a joke, right? I already worked my way into ensuring that all your foreign accounts are freezed, if you make me angry, I’ll ensure that all the local banks freeze your account too then you will return to penury,” Michael threatened. “Why exactly are you angry? I’m the one who is supposed to be angry with you for the pain that you and your father caused me, yet you are acting like a nuisance over here,” Broderick said. “I need you to stay away from Miss. Cleo. As long as you do that, I’ll spare you from my anger and let you live a simple life,” Michael warned. “Oh! So my appearance here is what is making you angry?” Broderick chuckled and looked at his shirt that was now rough. He felt so much anger that he felt like punching him in the face and bringing his men to bury him alive but he tamed his anger. First, he wasn’t ready to reveal himself as Ba and secondly, it’s not yet time to avenge what Michael and his father did to him in the past
Mr. Michael, why are you being so aggresive? It should be my choice to choose whom I want. Did you think I will even choose you with this aggresively behavior of yours?” Amy asked Michael. Im not aggressive, Miss, Cleo, I’m only aggressive to this nonentity. He knows about the pain he caused my father and I in the past. Some things are better not said but we both know it. The pain is what is making me act aggresively to him.” Michael said with a deep and painful gaze. Amy became confused, who exactly hurts who? She wished she knew about the contention the two brothers had when they were young. “I came back to North Hill for two reasons. The first is to make you mine, Miss. Cleo, the second reason is to avenge the pain this nuisance caused my father and I in the past. This was why I made him loose his power,” Michael said and then whispered to Amy, * please come over to A resturant tomorrow, VVIP longue, table 4, I’ll be there,” Michael withdrew his head and was now smiling. He looked at Broderick with a demanding look then walked away. Amy sighed and gestured for Broderick to walk in. Once Broderick walked in, he sat majestically and crossed his legs. “Can I serve you with something?” Amy asked. “Yes, but not food nor drink. Not water neither,” he responded. “Oh! What else can I serve you with?” She asked. Broderick stood and gestured for her to come over, Amy walked over to him and he said,” your lips!” Amy was shocked and took few steps back, she shook her head and said,” there is no romantic relationship between us, yet.” Broderick smiled, “who says?” He pulled her closer and almost lock his lips on hers, the lips was just inches apart but Broderick withdrew and went to sit. “You are right, we are not in a romantic relationship, yet.” Broderick said and Amy sighed and went to sit.
“Did you think I will be offended if you kiss me?” “That wasn’t why I stopped. Miss. Cleo, I stopped because I think there is no reason to rush. You will be mine forever anyways,” Broderick said. “Excuse me?” Broderick sighed and said, “should I get you guards that can help you chase Michael away whenever he comes?” “Mr. Broderick. Did you hear what Michael said? He’s a friend to Ba! At this time, you can’t afford to offend him. Please, I don’t want him to hurt you,” Amy said concernedly. Broderick laughed inside of him, “you don’t have to worry about me.” How can I not worry about the man I love? Amy thought and said,” Mr. Broderick, Michael seems very desperate to have me and he’s not taking ‘no’ for an answer. But please don’t interfere, I’ll handle it. I don’t love him so don’t worry, I can never be his.” “Mr. Broderick, now that your company is gone, did you have a new plan?” Amy asked. “The company didn’t just get burnt, the fact that it stopped operating abruptly sent us to bankrupt. We are owing many investors, Broderick said, “Oh my? I’m so sorry, I really wish there is a way I can help,” Amy said. Broderick brought out a card from his suit pocket and stretched it to her, Amy stood from her seat and received it, she opened the card while standing and it reads,” Miss. Cleo, you are the most beautiful and pleasant woman I have ever set my eyes on. – Broderick.” Amy blushed after reading it and the next minute, she saw Broderick kneeling down with one of his knees. He brought out a small but beautiful flower from his suit and presented it to her,” please accept it.” Amy’s heart melted, she happily accepted it and helped him up after which she hugged him dearly. She pulled back and looked at his face to be sure this person was really Broderick, Broderick knelt before her and presented a flower to her? Was she dreaming? When did he became this humble and sweet? Or was he humble now because he had just los everything?NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
