Chapter 71 Greatest Disgrace
“I’m not willing to engage in anything romantic with you, Mr. Broderick,” Amy suddenly said.
Broderick freezed and pulled back. It was surprising but amazing to him that she was able to resist his
charm.
“Okay, is it comfortable for you to lay here for a couple of hours?” Broderick asked. “Yes, it’s not a
problem but I have to leave very early in the morning,” Amy said. “Alright,” Broderick laid gently.
A moment of silence graced their midst. After Amy confirmed that Broderick was asleep,she waited a
little longer before finding her way to her children’s room. She went to the girl’s room first and although
she felt like she would be disturbing them by
waking them up, nonetheless, she thought it will be better to let them know that she came around.
She switched on the light in the room and woke the children up one after the other. They were all
shocked and happy to see their
mother, Amy played with them for a couple of minutes before she pet them back to sleep.
The few minutes she spent with them made her so happy. She examined the children’s merry and
sleepy face then walked out
happily from their room. She went to the boy’s room and woke them up also, she played with them for a
few minutes and wanted to lead them back to sleep but they had already stopped sleeping.
She spent up to an hour with the boys, they were gisting about every single thing that had been going
on with them both at
school and at home with Amy and it was a lovely moment.
The little ones eventually got tired and began to sleep one after the other. When the whole world
seemed to be causing her pain
again and again, her children will always be the reason for her happiness.
Her mood became very elated and she walked back to Broderick’s room and laid gently, just five
minutes after she had laid, Broderick woke and turned to her,” didn’t you sleep at all?” “Not at all. I’m
actually not feeling sleepy,” Amy said.
Broderick stood from the bed and checked his watch,” I guess it’s time for you to leave, right?”
“Yes,” Amy also stood.
Broderick commanded his head of guards to lead Amy home.
On Saturday at B Hotel, there was a big placard at the entrance of the hotel that had ‘Broderick
Alessandro Weds Theresa Roscoe.’ Inside the hotel, there was an unusual number of exorbitant cars
parked.
Inside the the most beautiful and luxurious hall were many powerful families in North Hill seated
majestically around their tables.
The mayor and Edith were also here. Nell sat at the forefront while Broderick and Theresa sat right
beside her. Also there were a few journalists who were given access to the building and there was a TV
station videographer who was covering the event. Right from this moment, the TV station had started
displaying what was going on inside the hall for everyone
seated at home to watch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBroderick was dressed in his tailored suit while Theresa wore an expensive wedding gown. Though the
wedding gown she was wearing wasn’t the one she really wished she wear but Michael Alessandro
and Amy went away with the limited edition gown at the mall leaving Theresa then no option but to go
for the next available gown.
“Today is our wedding but your parents aren’t here,” Broderick said quietly to Theresa. He didn’t see
any reason to see Theresa’s parents before the wedding but he beleived that at the very least, they
were supposed to come to the wedding that was holding today but after secretly surveying the hall and
didn’t see any notice of her parent, he had to ask. ‘Oh! I was supposed to tell you… My parents won’t
be able to come because my father is sick and my mother needs to attend to him,” Theresa lies
Broderick only hummed and looked away.
Nell had his eyes set on Broderick and Theresa and she was happy that everything was going as
planned.
Edith was also very happy that everything was going as planned but the mayor wasn’t happy at all.
Ever since Amy had ‘died, he
had not truly been himself. He finds himself thinking about her often and he can’t help it eventhough he
beleived that she was not his daughter.
The emcee of the wedding commenced the wedding ceremony and all sorts of events rolled over and it
were lovely sessions.
Now, it was time for the emcee to call forth the bride and the groom. He did that and the couple
stepped forward adorably. Everyone graced them with a clap and many people who were watching
from home clapped too eventhough they knew the couple couldn’t hear their claps. Many ladies
discussed about how lucky Theresa was to win Broderick’s heart. It’s many women’s dream in North
Hill to become
Broderick’s wife. Despite how tough and stern Broderick was rumoured to be, many people still wished
for him to be their lover.
It’s weird how the women of North Hill loved the devil falling in love with them than an angel.
“Mr. Broderick, did you accept Miss Theresa as your lawfully wedded wife? Either in good health or in
bad health, in poverty or in riches, will you remain with her?”
“Yes,” Broderick’s response was brief and a loud cheers could be heard from the crowd.
The emcee set his gaze on Theresa,” Miss. Theresa, did you accept Mr. Broderick as your lawfully
wedded husband? In good health or bad health? In poverty or in wealth, would you stay and be loyal to
him?”
“Yes…yes,” Theresa blushed and the crowds cheered them again.
“Let the bride and the groom kiss,” the emcee said and a heavy cheers sounded from the audience,
many even stood emotionally to watch the scene.
It will be such an interesting scene watching the most powerful man in North Hill, who is known for his
aloofness and sternness kissing…aww…how sweet will the sight be?
Many ladies who were watching from home even blushed on behalf of Theresa.
Broderick had a straight gaze, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.
Theresa had dreamed so much for this moment, she leaned towards Broderick shyly and Broderick
lowered his face gently to hers that their face was now an inch away. A loud voice suddenly errupted. It
was unexpected. Everyone including Broderick traced where the voice was coming from only to see a
large screen displaying a video in front of everyone. The heading on the video was ‘How Miss. Theresa
killed Mr. Broderick’s Mistress Out Of Jealousy. The heading alone shocked everyone, including people
watching from home. Everyone never expected this twist. Many that were
at home had to stand to watch this drama, their hands folded in all seriousness and many prayed that
this channel won’t be cut
off.
Infact, news had immediately reached the ears of those who were not interested or too busy to follow
up Broderick’s wedding. At this moment, almost everyone in North Hill, including a month old child had
their eyes on the screen.
Broderick took a step further to the screen, his phone rang at that moment and he answered it,”
someone is trying to cause a scandal to you, shall we end the video?” “No, leave it, I want to watch,”
Broderick told Brett who had almost given order for the video to be brought down.
The large screen displayed how Theresa was carefully looking around in Broderick’s kitchen to be sure
that there was no one coming. The way she was peeping was enough to tell that she was up to no
good. Many people began to rumor immediately but they soon kept quiet, they want to watch the video
until the end before the began to judge Theresa,
Theresa prayed for the ground to open and swallow her. Isn’t this shame that was about to befall her in
public too worse than death? Tears were forming quickly on Theresa’s face.
Edith almost ran mad looking at the large screen that had her disguised daughter in. Of course, an
anonymous somebody sent them the video but in their weirdest imagination, they never thought that
the video will be played on a day like this.
| The large screen displayed how Theresa brought out a liquid drug from her pocket and sprinkled it on
a particular food.
The voice over the video then spoke,” it was this food that Amy, Mr. Broderick’s mistress ate that she
began to foam. Many people only knew that Mr. Broderick’s mistress died, not many people knew she
died of food poisoning. And Theresa was the one behind it.”
The video then came to an end.
Many people became very angry at Theresa, infact, if they could stone her to death, they would. There
were many angry average
people in the city who ran from their house to wait outside of the hotel. They assured themselves to
teach Theresa a lesson she
will regret for life.
The General Inspector of police who was also watching had sent his men to arrest Theresa
immediately and keep the place in
order cause he was sure that the place would be disorganized in no time.
Broderick turned from the screen and looked at Theresa with an angry look. Sincerely, if not for
Broderick that was still on stage, many people would have stormed the stage and beat the fucking hell
out of Theresa. The people were angry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow can someone be so wicked to kill someone else? Just because of what? Whoever can kill a soul
can burn down an entire
city,’ this was the mindset of the people of NorthHill. Theresa was scared. Very scared. Nell’s leg was
literally shivering, she was a grandma and didn’t have much strength left in her to bear all these. Edith
knew that if her child leaves here alive, then God had only decided to save her. No one could make a
move yet cause of the presence of the most powerful man in North Hill, Broderick Alessandro. No
matter how angry a dog is, it must respect and recognize it’s owner. “You killed Amy!” Broderick felt so
much pain saying this but beyound that, he felt like burying Theresa alive. “This wasn’t the little girl I
promised to marry when I was young. She was kind, lovely, amazing. She won’t even hurt a fly not to
talk of killing someone else. How cruel are you? Amy is the mistress and you are the wife. Yet, you
aren’t satisfied enough. You killed a mother of six kids,” Broderick shook his head as he said this.
Broderick knew for sure that there was no way Theresa will leave here alive. She had angered the
people of North Hill and she will let them handle her and treat her as they dim fit. Once Broderick
turned from her, the crowds of people in the hall ran towards the stage like an hungry lion that was let
loosed but Theresa quickly held onto Broderick’s leg making the angry crowd pause. The sirens of
police car could be heard outside the hall already. Many were angry that the cops won’t let them serve
Theresa a jungle justice. Broderick turned to Theresa and asked,” why are you holding onto me? Are
you scared to face the consequences of your own
2
action?”
*Please….please!” Theresa cried hard…”Please forgive me…I don’t want to die?” Theresa cried hard.
She knows what was at stake
if Broderick leaves her here.
Fortunately for her, the cops were able to find their way up to the stage and immediately handcuffed
her and lead her out.
Broderick’s guard immediately stormed the place and guarded Broderick out to where his cars were
parked.
Theresa became the headlines of every newspaper company in NorthHill. Infact, those who posted the
video on YouTube were getting traffic from all over the world. Numerous angry comments were
dropping every second on the comment section of the youtube page While Broderick was being driven
away to his house, a call came through on his phone and seeing that it was ‘Miss Cleo,’ he answered.
He beleived she must have seen the news to,
“Mr Broderick, I’m sorry for.”
M
He interrupted her,” good niddance to bad rubbish. Can you come over to my place, please?”
Did you not remember that I’m currently having a wedding with Mr. Michael?” Amy asked.
Whereas, Amy was before her television, she had just finished watching the video she set up. She was
eating her popcorn and
laughing quietly victoriously. She wasn’t having any wedding with Michael neither, she was only teasing
Broderick.
“Send me the address of where the wedding is taking place, I’ll come,” Broderick said.
“Sure.” Amy called out an address for him and hung the call up
