Chapter 121 Your Response Will Determine Your Fate
Amy turned when she began to hear loud sound as though something was being hit, her heart almost
fling away when saw Broderick being beaten mercilessly. It was a bloody sight and she can’t afford to
look at it. She looked away and quickly ran Inside her room.
Once she got before her door, she buried her face in her palm and cried. ‘Why was Prince Nolan
punishing him that way?’ she thought. She felt so bad for Broderick but she couldn’t interfere, afterall,
Broderick also buried Nolan alive.
She cleaned the tears in her face after two minutes of sobbing and walked inside with a dull heart.
Seeing her kids, she faked a smile and asked,” are you feeling hungry yet?”
“Where is dad?” About three of the children asked at the same time, ignoring her question.
“He travelled to a far away country for some business deal, he will back in two months time,” Amy
responded.
C
Moses looked at the screen of the phone in his hand and then looked at Amy,” a news says here that
Prince Nolan of EastHill has arrested our dad.”
“Huh?” Amy walked over to him and checked the screen of the phone, she saw that the news of
Broderick’s arrest has already made it to the news.
What was she even thinking? Whatever happens to a man like Broderick Alessandro will definitely top
the news site.
If the children confirmed this to be true, they will be very devastated. And taking them to Broderick is not
an option as Broderick had already warned her not to bring the children to him.
“Oh!” Amy stood upright, “North Hill is in chaos at the moment and everyone is trying to play smart. Your
father escaped, trust me cause he called me after he reached the far country he went to.” Amy said.
“I’m worried,” Debby said as she rested her head on her palm like someone in deep thought.
Amy went to sit beside her and hugged her dearly,” Debby, don’t worry about him. He had to escape
North Hill cause of the military men that just took over. If he didn’t, he would be arrested.”
“Can we speak to dad? Just to be sure he’s fine?” Moses asked.
“Erm… He says I shouldn’t call him often so the cops would not track his location but i’ll try to mail him to
ask what time he will be free so that you guys can speak to him,” Amy said and Moses nodded.
“We need to eat,” Amy said and went to pick up the remote on the table then called Bristol over.
Bristol informed them that the food is ready and so lead them to the royal dinning table where they all
ate.
After they were done eating, they returned back to their room. Amy wanted to play with the kids but the
kids were not in a good mood at all. They even requested for their own room, Amy felt bad that they
didn’t intend to live with her here as the room is very large enough to contain them all.
Nonetheless, she understands that they may need their privacy and so promise them to get them their
own room. She planned on speaking about it to Prince Nolan once he comes around.
Amy laid on the bed with the back of her head to the pillow, she had a heavy heart as she wondered if
her of her children will spend the rest of his life. Obviously, there was no way that Broderick could
escape. Maybe if he didn’t loose his memory, he might probably use other
mysterious things about himself to free himself but he only knows what Martha told him.
Although Amy had said she wished for Broderick’s downfall, she didn’t really mean it. Though he had
bullied her a lot with his power but she also understands that he was only doing that out of a wrong
perception of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA couple of hours later, a knock landed on the door and Amy went to open it, she saw a guard who
immediately bowed to her,” the king sent for you!”
Amy looked at her cloth and saw that it was decent then turned to the children and told them she would
be back soon.
She followed the guard to the king’s chamber where Nolan is.
“Prince,” Amy called with a boring smile.
“King actually,” Prince Nolan corrected and Amy smirked,” it will take time before I adjust to calling you
king, anyways, King Nolan.”
Nolan chuckled,” please sit, Amy.”
Amy sat on one of the couches in the room that was directly facing the kingky sized chair that Nolan was.
“You sent for me?” Amy asked after a few seconds of awkward silence had passed.
“Yes. I don’t want you to feel rushed but then, the members of the parliament wants me to get married as
soon as I can. Infact, they only gave me seven days as it’s in our culture for a king to be married,” Nolan
said.
“Oh!”
“Yeah, since you already promise to be my queen, then you can agree to marry me, right?” Prince Nolan
asked.
Amy sighed and without thinking, she answered,” yes.” Afterall, she promised him.
Prince Nolan heaved a breath of relief and said,” good. Then we will get married in six days time, I’ll
immediately start to make preparation.”
“Alright.” Amy said.
“Can you come over, please?” Prince Nolan gestured for her to come and she stood. She walked over to
him and sat beside him.
He curved his hand around her and said softly to her,” Amy, you aren’t scared of me, are you?”
“No, I’m not.” Amy answered and added,” but… I’m worried that now that you have all the powers, you
can just change towards me.”
“People don’t change their character, they just get to reveal what has been hiding inside of them. I’ll
never hurt you, okay?” Prince Nolan said gently and Amy looked at his handsome face. Their faces were
now an inche away from eachother.
“Promise me that you will never hurt me and my children,” Amy requested.
“I promise you.” Prince Nolan said and kissed her on her forehead.
“Do you know how to play ludo game?” Prince Nolan asked.
“I use to play it when I was young but that’s a children game,” Amy said.
“Adult plays it too at leisure,” Prince Nolan stood and went to bring the ludo and the dices. He sat and
created a small distance between them where the ludo board rested.
The two adults began to play the game, they were both quiet at the beginning of the game but Amy
started to laugh when she kept winning him and the fact that he kept claiming he was skilled in ludo
game amused her even more..
They laughed together and indeed had fun until a few hours had passed. Nolan didn’t want to let Amy go
as he enjoyed playing the game with her so much but Amy told him she needs to attend to the kids.
Amy retruned to the room and found out the children already ate lunch. When they were hungry and
didn’t see Amy in sight, they called on Bristol themselves and ate alone.
Amy was stunned but was happy they had eaten. Everything seems to be going well, there was no one
to bully her, Prince Nolan was being gentle to her and her kids were with her but was she happy, no?
It’s like a poor man wishing earnestly for money. If only he can become rich, he would be the happiest
man in the world, so he thinks. But hen the poor man has it all, his life was still a defination of sadness as
money alone in itself does not guarantee happiness.
Amy felt sad but she felt very lonely too, despite the fact that her children were with her. She felt
incomplete and was moody like a woman in her period.
She tried to sleep but she couldn’t. The children as a matter of fact were not so lively as they used to.
Amy eventually called Bristol to arrange a room for the kids and immediately, the kids were taken to the
room that was beside that of Amy.
Amy assured the kids that she would check on them often. Amy then went to shower, she remained
under the shower for almost an hour even when she was feeling cold, she didn’t leave. She felt burdneed
and guilty. It’s like a thorn was placed around her neck and it’s hurting her.
Of course, she loved Broderick Alessandro. She loved him so much but she thinks that she can easily
stopped loving him just like she stepped loving Callan. But it seems the love she has for Broderick was
stronger. It cuts deep into her soul and reside at the deepest part of her soul.
A loud sound errupted all of a sudden and Amy left the bathroom with only a towel around her body and
went to peep through the large windows of the room. She then realized that it was an heavy downpour of
rain.
Wait! Is Broderick Alessandro still at the center of the palace field? If he was, does that mean this heavy
rain will fall on him?
Amy immediately got dressed in a trouser and a blowse then walked outside of the palace.
Standing before the palace, she saw Broderick Alessandro from afar, the rain was falling heavily and was
beating him
Even her was scared of stepping inside the rain. There was not a single person outside as everyone had
hidden because of the rain, even the guards,
Amny felt terribly bad for Broderick and ran in the rain towards him. Before she got before Broderick
Alessandro who was tied to the pole, she was already wet.
The first thing she noticed was the scar on his body, the scars were too visible and her heart clutched
painfully.
She cried uncontrollably but it was impossible for anyone to know she was crying because the rain was
pouring on her hair down to her face.
Broderick had his head lowered before she came and even after she stood before him, he still had his
head lowered.
“Broderick!” She called but Broderick didn’t respond.
“Broderick?” She called again but he didn’t respond still yet the rain was heavy and was causing her so
much cold.
“Broderick!” She shouted out of frustration and Broderick raised his face up towards her.
“What else did you want from me? I have fallen from the most powerful man to an ordinary slave, which
is what you have always wished for.” Broderick said.
“Broderick, I am so sorry. I didn’t want to agree to the treason but… I guess I didn’t think deeply. I hate to
see you this way,” Amy said, crying.
“Why did you hate to see me this way? I’m a man that had cause you pain. I have never really made you
happy and I bully you. Why do you feel sad for me? Go inside now, you will catch cold,” Broderick said.
Amy began to shiver as a result of the heavy rain that had caused her so much cold.
“I love you,” Amy said, crying.
“You can stop loving me and love your new king,” Broderick smiled painfully. “Go.”
“No.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don’t want you to catch cold, you may fall sick. If anything happens to you, how will you take care of
the kids?” Broderick asked.
“No, I don’t want to leave you. I want us to leave here together,” Amy said.
“Go!” Broderick shouted on her but she wasn’t moved at all, when she was about to collapse on his body
and hug him dearly, a loud voice called her name.
“Amy!”
She turned and saw Prince Nolan running towards her.
When Prince Nolan got to her, he immediately covered her with his big coat and said,” oh my! If you get
cold, I won’t forgive myself.”
Prince Nolan then carried her in a bridal style and began to carry her away.
“Leave my woman” Broderick screamed and tried to break free from the chains but it was impossible for
him to break free. Like a possessive wolf, he wants to crush Prince Nolan to death and take Amy away
from him.
Amy heard him and only shut her eyes in pain as Nolan carried her away.
* You! I’ll kill you! I’ll destroy your kingdom! I’ll…” Broderick’s angry and jealous voice trailed off as Amy
got taken inside
Broderick screamed in the rain, his voice was like that of thunder, he gritted his teeth under the heavy
cold and looked up at the sky, letting the heavy rain beat his face mercilessly.
Prince Nolan placed Amy down gently in his bathroom and said,” please undress quick and bath in this
warm water, I believe you will be warm. I’ll tell the maid to provide the cloth you will change into when
you are done.”
“Okay, thank you,” Amy said and watched as Nolan walked out.
When Nolan got outside of the bathroom, he was angry that Amy even went inside the rain just to meet
with Broderick. Does she still has feelings for Broderick? He walked outside angrily and commanded two
guards to follow him to where Broderick was.
Nolan carried a heavy block of clustered sand and threw it angrily to his right chest making the block
crash on his chest. Broderick felt a heavy pain in his right chest that he stopped breathing for many
seconds.
“You! How come Amy still has feelings for you?” Nolan was very angry.
Broderick coughed out blood and looked at him,” how is it my fault that she loves me?”
Nolan hit him severally in the stomach and slapped him hard, “if you don’t want me to kill you, when next
Amy come, tell her you don’t love her and tell her never to come to you again, understood?”
“Why don’t you tell her yourself not to come to me anymore?” Broderick asked. He was feeling pain and
cold all over his body.
“Cause I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable around me. I don’t want her to feel like I’m controlling her. I
want her to feel free cause I want her to be happy always. Unlike you that always cause her pain, I will
only make Amy happy. I already swore to make her happy always but you, must tell her that you never
loved her so she can stop coming to you,” Nolan felt threatened about Broderick’s presence.
“I have never told her I love her,” Broderick said.
“But you screamed her name to be your woman when I was carrying her away, huh?” Prince Nolan
asked.
“Yes, because she’s mine. She has a place in my heart, I don’t know how she finds a way to my heart but
one thing I’m sure of is that I have a soft spot for her. I don’t know if that is love,” Broderick said.
Nolan removed the gun from the hostler of one of the guards beside him and pointed it to him, he cocked
it and said, “will you tell Amy you did not love her and that she should stop coming to you? Your
response will determine if I will shoot you or not.”
“I will not.”
