Chapter 225
Joan stood still, looking at the lifeless body of Callan and crying out loud like a baby. Broderick felt empty,
he sunk to his knees as tears rushed down his cheek, looking at Callan’s lifeless body hurts him to the
bones and marrows. Everyone began to cry hard for Callan, Amy kept wishing badly and earnestly for
him to wake and trying hard to wake him up but he was dead. She kept on crying hard…”please wake up
Callan!” She cried even harder
The rest of the day was a sad one for Broderick, Amy and Joan. Callan’s dead body had been taken
away. Joan tried to comfort Amy all night but it was impossible for her to stop crying, Remembering her
beautiful days with Callan makes her feel even very hurt. It was true that she was angry with him for
breaking his heart in the past but she never wished for him to be dead. Amy didn’t sleep all night, neither
did Joan. How could she sleep when Amy was awake all night, in a sad state. The news of Callan’s
death had reached the ears of everyone in North Hill as his family was one of the most powerful families
in NorthHill. Martha also heard about it and wondered if that was the reason why Broderick had locked
himself up ever since he came back home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMartha had knocked on the door of Broderick’s room severally but she didn’t even get a sound from him
eventhough she knew quiet well that he was in there.
Martha eventually retired back to her room.
When it was the following day, Broderick placed a call across to Amy to know how she was feeling but
she didn’t answer the call. He was not expecting her to answer the call anyways.
He got dressed and stepped out, once he appeared at the living room, Martha immediately stood from
the couch, she had sat at alert in the living room since 5AM waiting for when he would come out..
“Broderick! Good morning. I knocked on your door all night but you didn’t answer. It’s obvious you are not
fine, can you tell me what’s wrong?”
“My friend was murdered,” Broderick answered.
“Your friend?”
1 “Callan! Have you heard about his death, yet? He’s my friend, he was good to me in prison
and took a bullet for me. Actually, I was the one who should be dead by now but he took the bullet for
me,” Broderick said with a blank gaze.
Martha walked closer to him and exclaimed,” oh my days! I’m so sorry. Who could have
tried to murder you?” “No idea,” Broderick lied, “I need to get somewhere, see you later.” Broderick then
walked away from her.
| He went with his escorts to the Alessandro’s mansion, not only has Nell retruned there,
Lord Douglas, the head of the Alessandro’s clan was now residing there too. He was already
old and didn’t want to die in a foreign country so he had decided to stay here until his last day on earth
Broderick stepped down with anger, Brett had already confirmed to him that Michael was the one who
was behind the shot. He didn’t expect that after giving Michael all the powers he had and letting him
have his mega company, he would still attempt to kill him. How can his blood brother be so desperate
that he even wanted to take his life. So if not because Callan saved him, he would have been dead by
now. Once Broderick appeared at the large living room, the butler appeared to him and greeted him with
a bow. Broderick commanded, “tell grandfather I’m around.” “Okay, sir,” the butler bowed and walked
away. A couple of minutes later, Lord Douglas walked in smartly. Despite his old age, he still has strong
bones and could walk properly. He sat down and gestured for Broderick,” please sit.” Broderick sat and
greeted him, “Michael Alessandro tried to kill me.”
“What!” The man exclaimed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes. You should have heard about the news of Callan’s death. He actually took the bullet on my behalf.
The clan shouldn’t blame me for what I’m about to do next to him,” Broderick said.
*You can’t hurt your brother, be calm.” Lord Douglas said and brought out his phone.
“Can’t? But my own brother tried to kill me?” Broderick asked with a frown.
Lord Douglas placed a call across to Michael and he answered almost immediately, “come to the family’s
mansion immediately.”
Okay, grandfather,” Michael said and Lord Douglas hung the call up.
“He will be here soon. I want to know the reasons behind his act,” Lord Douglas said and called on the
butler, once he appeared, he said to him,” get us a drink and a cake.” “I’m not eating, sorry!” Broderick
denied. How could he eat in such a state that he is?
“I understand how you feel but you still have to take something,” Lord Douglas said. *Please don’t force
me to eat grandfather, I’m not in the mood,” Broderick said and then Lord Douglas dismissed the butler.
Lord Douglas then observed Broderick for a while, he could tell that he was very angry. Broderick already
gave out all he has to Michael yet Michael tried to take his life. It was hard for him to understand.
