I Promise To Give You All
Broderick sat in his office before his underground personal assistant, the short man who always wear white clothes and shoe, Irvin.
“Make a public announcement that we are erecting a company twice as big as the burnt Alessandro family‘s company and that interested companies and groups who are willing to apply to bid for a contract in the various works of the building only have forty eight hours to do so,” Broderick commanded. “Alright, boss,” Irvin said and walked away.
Broderick then relaxed back to his chair for a few seconds after which he picked up his phone and put a call across to Amy, she answered almost immediately. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hi, Mr. Broderick,” she greeted.
“Miss. Cleo, if you aren‘t too busy, I’ll like to invite you over to dinner in my mansion. I‘ll use that opportunity to introduce you to my six kids. You will like them, I assure you,” Broderick said.
Amy had already been willing to see her kids, they had only been communicating on video call.
“Of course, i‘ll like to see the kids,” Amy said.
Broderick was glad she accepted the invite, “Ill send my driver to come and pick you up.”
“Alright,” Amy responded.
A couple of minutes later, Broderick had left ‘Ba‘s mansion‘ and was now in his main mainson. He asked of the maid to inform the kids to come to meet him in the living room.
In a jiffy, the boys stormed out of the room, same with the girls and swarmed around him. “Hey dad!” Moses said, sitting on his lap and looking at his big face his with his small face. “Before I came home
yesterday, you guys were already asleep. I’m so sorry,” Broderick said. “It‘s not a problem. Dad, hope you are recovering from your loss?” Angel asked. The kids also read about how their father lost his company and they had sympathized with him two days ago.
“You don‘t have to worry about me anymore, I‘m not shaken and I‘ll rise to power again,” Broderick said.
“I like dad‘s confidence,” Debby said.
“Same here,” Queen said. “We would be having a visitor today. She‘s coming to eat dinner with us. She‘s my friend and I beleive you all will like her,” Broderick said to the kids.
“Oh! We can‘t wait to see her,” Elijah said.
Broderick started talking to them about a different subject and they continued gisting and laughing until the sound of the doorbell could be heard.
Broderick said to his children,” she must be around, let me welcome her.”
Broderick then stood and walked to the door, once he opened it, he saw Amy dressed in a beautiful blue gown.
“You are welcome, miss Cleo,” Broderick said gestured for her to walk in. “Thank you,” Amy said as she walked in. As soon as the kids saw her, they ran towards her merrily. It had been more than a week that they had not seen her. They don‘t even care about the instruction she had given them in the past. Amy hugged them dearly and looked at Broderick ignorantly.
“Miss Cleo, don’t mind how my kids react. I guess it‘s because You look exactly like their mother.” Broderick said.
“Oh true!” Amy sighed and bent until she reached the level of the kids,” oh my! I‘m so happy to see you all.” Broderick can be deceived but the children were hundred percent sure that the was their mother.
Once Broderick confirmed that the table was set, he lead them to the dinning table and soon, they were all seated around the table.
Amy was seated right before Broderick. The joy she felt seeing her kids was extraordinary. After she had examined her children keenly one after the other and saw that they were all looking okay, she set her gaze on Broderick and smiled. Broderick smiled back but what she was thinking was how he would react when he eventually found out that she was Amy. Cause it seemed that he was now fully convinced that Amy was dead.
“Mr. Broderick, your kids are so sweet. The fact that they are identical made them even more beautiful.” Amy praised the kids. “They are my light and hope. My children are the reason for my happiness, I love them so much,” Broderick said, taking an affectionate look at the kids one after the other.
O
“We also love Miss Cleo,” Elisha suddenly chirped in. The kids were smart and were now playing along
“Miss Cleo look beautiful and we can tell already that she‘s an amazing woman,” Queen said.
“Oh my! My kids likes you...” Broderick was glad that the kids like Amy. If in the future, he decided to marry Amy, there wouldn‘t be any problem with the kids cause she and the kids already liked each other. Broderick thought.
Broderick then gestured for everyone to commence eating. Everyone commenced eating, Amy even fed the kids at interval. The love and joy she has seeing her kids were so glaring on her face and she didn‘t even hide it at all.
After everyone was done eating, the maids came to pack the empty dishes then Broderick said to the kids,” you can go inside now, I‘ll come and play with you as soon as I‘m done with Miss. Cleo.”
“Just spend as much time as you want with her,” Debby said. If there was anything Debby wanted the most in life, it was for Broderick and Amy to end up together as couple. That had always been her dream.
Broderick smiled at her words
“Miss, Cleo, can you come often to play with us?” Elisha asked, “Yes our mum is no more, miss Cleo. If you can come to play with us often, we will be grateful,” Elijah added.
“Miss Cleo, we don‘t mean to bother you or worry you it‘s just that we already like you so much,” Moses said.
Amy ruffled Moses and Elisha‘s hair,” don‘t worry, I like you cute kids too.” She added, “since Mr. Broderick and I are friends, then I will come to play with you often as long as he doesn‘t mind.”
The kids expressed how happy they were and Broderick immediately chirped in,” Miss. Cleo, do you think I will mind? My children needs a mother figure earnestly and even if you decide to come here everyday, it‘s all okay by me. Should you even decide to come and stay here, it‘s still okay by me.” Broderick said.
Whenever Amy isn‘t with him, he always feel imcomplete. Some people say that type of feeling means that he‘s missing her. Maybe be, but one thing he was sure if is that he likes to be around Amy often.
It‘s even good that she and children were getting along, Broderick thought. He would always leverage on that to invite her over whenever he misses her.
Broderick smiled broadly as he thought about the perfect plan.
“Please kiss us,“Queen said and Amy kissed the three girls on the forehead. The six kids then left happily to their room.
“My children had not been this happy ever since their mother passed away. I‘m really glad to see them happy,” Broderick said.
“Same here. I‘m so happy that I‘m a reason why they are happy,” she smiled broadly. She and Broderick exchanged an inexplicable passionate look in silence and when Amy was scared that
hemselves in the next second and start romancing, she broke the silence and said, “I enjoyed the dinner.”
“I‘m glad you did.” Broderick said. “I got informed that Michael asked of your hand in marriage?”
“Yes, he wanted me to agree to marry him and that‘s really absurd cause I don‘t love him. Why would I want to marry someone that I don‘t love?”
Broderick hummed and said,” he also added that you are obligated to agree.”
“That‘s right. We made some personal agreement that I can not disclose to you and I promise to grant his request. I never knew that this would be his request.”
“So what have you decided, Miss. Cleo?” Broderick asked. Observing her intently.
“I can‘t go back on my words cause he really helped me in so many ways. I‘m thinking of probably marrying him then divorce him later,” Amy said. “Don‘t do that, Miss. Cleo. He would never sign the divorce papers,” Broderick said. “Then we can take the matter to court. The court can not force me to be in a marriage that I‘m
clearly not interested in.”
“It‘s not just about the marriage. He would have the right to have sex with you once you get married to him. Did you think about that? Can you have sex with someone you did not love? And what if you get pregnant for him?” Broderick asked.
Amy sincerely hasn‘t thought about that but now that Broderick said it, she began to think about it. How disgusting would it be for Michael to lay on her and have sex
