Chapter 61 Mr. Michael When Broderick got to the hospital, he was surprised to see an urn in a small bottled glass on the hospital bed. Who could have replaced her dead body with an urn? “Bring me the chairman of this hospital,” he commanded and Brett immediately took steps away from him and made a call to the chairman of the hospital, commanding him to appear at where they were at the moment. The chairman immediately suspended what he was doing and appeared immediately at the ward that Broderick and ten other burly men in suits were, they were part of his guards. “Good evening, Mr. Broderick,” the doctor greeted politely. His mind unsettled as he wondered why the most powerful man in North Hill would have called him urgently. “The dead body of my mistress was supposed to be here wrapped in white but I got here only to see an urn, how did that happen?” 717 4 Broderick looked at him with a straight gaze and asked in a powerful bmanner. The chairmam swallowed heavily and also saw the urn on the bed. “I’ll ask those in the computer department to check the CCTV camera to find out what happened.” “Do that immediately,” Brett chirped in and the chairman quickly placed a call across to the head of the computer department and told him to find out what happened in the ward they were. “Sir, can you please sit?” The chairman gestured to Broderick after he had hung up the call. “Please don’t anger Mr. Broderick. Did you expect him to sit when the dead body of his mistress is missing?” Brett responded to the chairman angrily. Broderick just ignored him like he was talking nonsense. The doctor dared not to say a word again. A couple of seconds later, the chairman’s phone rang again and he immediately answered it,” what did you find out?”
“The footage had been deleted, I sincerely don’t know how,” the head of the computer department said. “What!” The chairman screamed, Sweats had formed quickly on his forehead,” how can you be so careless to let such footage get deleted!” “Sir, I just don’t know how but I’m currently investigating. I’m so sorry, sir?” The head of security pleaded. “You can’t find a record of how Mr. Broderick’s wife dead body got out of here, right?” Brett asked the chairman. He was able to deduce his questions from the chairman’s response to whom he was on phone with. The chairman lowered his hand and said, “sir! I don’t know how our head of security couldn’t find the CCTV footage…” He almost wanted to start crying.
Broderick picked up the glass of urn on the bed and wondered if it was her family that could have done this. He knew queit well that Amy and her family were not in good terms, perhaps, they had taken her dead body away but how dare they do that without his knowledge? “Get him fired,” Broderick declared, referring to the chairman. “Got it, sir,” Brett immediately placed a few call across to the shareholders of the company and told them what Broderick said. They immediately agreed to appoint a new chairman. Majority of the families in North Hill always want to be in the good book of the Alessandro’s family. How dare they refute Broderick Alessandro’s command? The doctor fell to his knees and began to plead with tears but Broderick already left the ward with his escorts. Brett almost walked out but turned to the doctor pityfully. “Please sir, I have been hardworking, I don’t want to loose my job this way,” the doctor pleaded. “If you can find the footage that got deleted, I’ll speak to Mr. Broderick on your behalf and you can get your job back.” Brett said then quickly walked out to catch up with Broderick and his escorts. Whereas, Amy stood before her mirror with a sharp gaze. She was thinking seriously about theFrom NôvelDrama.Org.
mysterious man that saw her when she was secretly sneaking out of the hospital. Eventhough she covered her face when walking out, a man had called her by her name but she didn’t turn to see whom the man was. Amy didn’t want anyone at all to know she was alive but there was one man who knew. The man could leak the revelation, hence, she was worried about it. While she was in deep thought, she heard a knock on her door. A knock? Whom could that be? She quickly covered her face and walked towards the door, she opened it and without lifting her head up, she asked,” how can I help you?” “Amy Owen, you don’t have to hide your face,” the man said and Amy’s heart skipped fearfully. She removed what she used in hiding her face and raised her gaze up only to see an handsome man before her. Was this the same man who called her by her name at the hospital? As if the man could read her thought, he responded,” I’m the one who called you when you were sneaking out of the hospital. I mean no harm, please let me in.” Amy wanted to know more about this man and sincerely, he doesn’t look scary. He looked calm and gentle. Amy gestured for him to walk in and in a jiffy, they were both seated before eachother at her living room. “How did you know my name? Are you stalking me? Who are you, please?” Amy asked. She was very curious and she didn’t hide it at all. “I know that you are Broderick’s mistress. I had just returned from abraod and I won’t really say I’m stalking you, I only came after you because I have an offer to make to you,” he said. Amy sat upright and asked,” your name, please?” “Michael Alessandro,” he answered and the last name he mentioned made Amy’s heart sunk. She almost stood but remain seated,” excuse me! Are you related to the Alessandro’s family? I mean the
real Alessandro?” “My father is an elder brother to Broderick’s father. So, you could refer to me as Broderick’s uncle.” “Shouldn’t you be referred to as a cousin? Your father can be regarded as Broderick’s uncle but you are Broderick’s cousin, anyways, that’s not what matters. Tell me what offer you have,” Amy requested. “Everyone beleived you are dead except me of course. I can help you keep it a secrete and … grant whatever request you have but you have to do what I want,” he said. Amy relaxed back to the chair and thoughtfully asked,” what did you want?” “I won’t state what I want until I am done granting your request. Just think deep and ask me whatever you need the most in your life. No matter how hard it is, I’ll do it for you. After I am done granting your request, only then can I state my request. My request is not complicated at all, it’s just a single request.” “Mr. Michael, can you help me find out what really killed my mother? My father told me that my mother died in the house of a gigolo. I know my mother is not a cheat and eve more, she would never stoop so low to cheat on my father with a gigolo. She was clearly set up,” Amy said. “I’ll do that for you. Is that all you want from me?” Michael Alessandro asked. Amy thought and then said quickly,” not just that, my stepsister and my stepmother wants me dead. They are powerful now because they are related to my father, if my father can cut them off from the Owen’s family, they will be as powerless as a bird without feathers. I want you to break the relationship between my father and my stepmother.” “You have made two requests and I’ll do both,” Michael said and stood, he took out his business card from his suit jacket and handed it over to her. Amy received it slowly and then he said,” l’ll get to work.” As he attempt to leave, Amy stood and said,” I can’t pretend to be dead forever, for the sake of my children, I have to return to Broderick’s mansion once one month has passed. So can you do all these for
me within one month?” “Yes, Infact, two to three weeks should be enough. However, don’t forget your have to grant my request too,” he said. “I will,” Amy said carelessly. It was hard for her to guess what he may want to ask but when she gets to the river, she will cross it boldiy “And one more thing,” she said and Michael gave her more attention, “Please don’t tell anyone I’m alive,” she said “Of course, I’m not so dumb to reveal such a truth. Bye, Miss Amy,” he smiled and walked away. Amy sighed as he watched him walk away then quickly walked over to where her phone was, she placed a call across to Joan and once she answered, she said, “tomorrow is Friday, don’t forget to bring my children to the beach.” “Sure, miss Amy. The children have been able to convince Mr. Broderick that they want to come and play at the beach tomorrow,” she said. “Great,” Amy smiled. She can’t wait to see her kids. “Miss Amy…” “Yes? Joan sighed and said,” I hope we don’t get caught tomorrow. I found out Mr. Broderick’s men are watching all of my move. I’m scared.” Amy was quiet for a while, reasoning with what she said. Broderick is very powerful and may find out about her tomorrow if she’s not careful. Amy remembered Michael and thought he could help, “don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.” “Okay, miss Amy. I’ll trust you. Broderick sat on a big chair in his room with the bottle of urn in his hand, from his research, the Owen’s family didn’t have Amy’s corpse with them.
And from what he found out, Amy didn’t even have a friend. So how did her dead body dissapear into a urn. Someone was most definitely behind it but he had not been able to find out whom that person is. Seeing her urn makes his heart shrink into sadness. Ever since Amy died, he had not been able to sleep and he had only been eating beans since then. He just didn’t have apetite to eat good food again. Loosing Amy was like loosing a part of him. He stood and went to place the bottle of urn gently on the wardrobe. He placed a call across to Brett and commaded, “My children are going to the beach tomorrow with the maid, ensure they are save.” “Definitely, sir. But sir, I need to tell you something,” Brett said. “Your cousin, Mr. Michael is back in North Hill,” Brett said. “Hello, sir! Are you there?” Brett didn’t know why Broderick wasn’t responding and then proceeded, “Erm…secondly, sir. Someone informed us that Miss. Amy’s old apartment seems to be occupied by someone.” “Tell my head of guards to prepare, we are heading there,” Broderick hung the call and immediately dressed well then walked quickly outside, In a jiffy, he was being escorted to Amy’s old apartment where Amy currently is. Who could suddenly move in there at a time when Amy is dead? Whoever that person is must be aware of how Amy’s dead body dissapeared, Once the cars pulled over at the mansion, Broderick sighted a land rover parked with tinted window. The Land Rover had a tinted window and it was a latest edition, Broderick knew that whoever owns the jeep must be extremely wealthy. This area isn’t where the wealthy people of North Hill lives. He wondered what the person could be doing here. He wanted to tell his head of guard to keep an eye on the land rover but he thought it was unnecessary so he walked over to the door of Amy’s flat and knocked on it. There were seven burly men around him, prepared and ready to attack anyone who may want to harm him. Ever since Amy died of poison, Broderick had immensely increased the security measures around him and the children.
A few seconds after he knocked, he suddenly started hearing steps approaching after which the door opened.
