An Unexpected Bomb
Broderick couldn't believe his eyes, his heart clenched painfully as though he was stung by a bee in the heart. He looked at the signed divorce papers in his hand and gritted his teeth heartbrokenly.
'I have forced the mother of my children to sign the divorce papers only to experience this?' Broderick thought, veins popping up on his forehead. 'I wanted to make this woman happy for once yet she broke my heart in this manner?' Broderick didn't say a word.
There was a drop dead silence in the room. It was as though the world stood still.
The scene of how Amy and Nolan kissed replayed in his head and he feel tortured. Why did this woman want him to divorce his wife when she has another man at heart?
Broderick then set his gaze at Amy, Amy didn't know how to explain herself that she didn't invite Nolan here neither did she make an attempt to kiss Nolan, it was Nolan who abruptly took advantage of her. But the aura that Broderick was emanating was too strong that she dared not to utter a word.
Broderick raised his hand a little and tore the divorce papers, "I did what you want so you can be comforted. Eventhough Martha was crying heavily, I was merciless to her and sent her out of my mansion. I did all these to make you happy. Afterall, you stood by me at EastHill but you have proven to be a double-faced woman."
"I ..."
Amy wanted to speak but Broderick interrupted," you dare to speak?"
"Easy Broderick," Nolan showed no sign of fear at all.
Broderick then looked at him in a demeaning manner, despite being the major general of the country, Broderick considered him to be very insignificant.
"You dared to step into my house?" Broderick questioned in anger.
"I dare to, what will you do? As the Major general of the country, I can do whatever I feel like doing. This is a regime where every right and freedom of every citizens is suspended, including yours. This is not a democracy era where you can charge those in powers to court for infringing on your right or intruding into your privacy," Nolan lectured.
"You are just a foreigner, did you think you can last as the president of my country? All those who rebelled against NorthHill will suffer along with you. Your name and their names will never be heard in the history of NorthHill anymore," Broderick declared.
Nolan clapped and scoffed," sounds like you are reciting a poem."
"No, I'm telling you what will become of you in a few weeks time," Broderick said. He has a very solid plan in place to dethrone Nolan.
NorthHill was his country, he was born here, how could he allow a foreigner to keep ruling over them?
"If you dare to make a move against me, I won't take pity on you, I'll feed your flesh to hungry lions and your bones to eagles. You are not worthy of contending with me, Broderick."
"I am the god of war," Broderick declared.
"And I'm the number one man of your country, you are insignificant to me," Nolan said and scoffed even more.
Nolan had usurped his power when he was coming in and hence, made all of the guards guarding the house to kneel just so he can enter the house freely. Nolan had come with about three hundred soldiers. He didn't care what anyone say about his relationship with Amy anymore. He wants Amy, he loves her and he would have her, he was so sure of that.
"I'll see if you will be able to say this in coming weeks. Now get out of my house," Broderick commanded. He reasoned that there was no point fighting with Nolan, as far as he was concerned, Nolan didn't force Amy, the kiss was consentual and he also beleived that Amy gave Nolan the permission to come here, hence, his grudge was against Amy.
"And if I didn't leave?" Nolan dared Broderick.
"Blood will spill," Broderick clenched his fist hard and Nolan laughed. With his newly found power as the major general of NorthHill, he was not scared at all. He has over thirty thousand soldiers under him scattered across NorthHill plus he can always send for soldiers from EastHill. How can he be scared of Broderick?
"Nolan, please leave. You know I can't stand violence," Amy said. If there was anything Any was allergic to the most, it was violence.
"Anything for you, my woman," Nolan smiled gently at Amy and wanted to walk away but he suddenly turned back at Amy," if you are worried that he would bully you, you can let me take you away."
Amy shook her head and said," don't worry about me, you can leave."
Nolan looked at Broderick and then walked towards him," I dare you to even raise a finger at me and I will make you kneel and eat the grass." Nolan threatened. He loves to humiliate Broderick.
Broderick shut his eyes but didn't say a word.
Nolan was happy and laughed," so you can be scared, Broderick Alessandro?"
Broderick opened his eyes and said to Amy," Amy, did he forced himself to kiss you or you allowed him to kiss you?" He just wanted to be sure.
Nolan turned to Amy and waited for her response.
"He forced his lips on mine," Amy answered," but please don't cause trouble here, please...I hate violence." Amy didn't want this place to become bloody.
"Nolan, you have crossed your line. You dare to force your filthy lips on my woman twice, I'll make you pay," Broderick declared. He was so angry and his face was burning heavily in rage.
Nolan laughed," you are just an ordinary commoner, what will you do? Eventhough I kissed Amy, I'm sure she enjoys it cause she has an hidden feeling for me. You say you will make me pay, huh? When? I guess in your next life time."
"Now," Broderick declared and pressed a botton on his wrist watch, it gave some monotone sounds repeatedly and after which it stopped, Broderick's lips curled up into a victorious smirk.
"What are you trying to do?" Nolan laughed at Broderick's act, but a call came through to his phone and seeing that it was his brother, he immediately answered it, "Amold, what's up?" Amold was his twin brother's name.
But before Amold could say a word, Nolan was hearing heavy pants from the other end, he became worried and asked curiously and anxiously," what's wrong?"
"Half of our soldiers experienced a bomb blast at their barrack, our palace also has been set on fire and some strange men had attacked us, everyone is fleeing for their lives...and...and...I'm currently on the run myself...the country is in chaos." Amold said.
"What!" Nolan screamed.
Because the room was quiet, everyone in the room could hear what Amold said.
Nolan immediately ran out to see what he can do about the calamity that just befell his home country.
Amy ran to Broderick and asked, "don't tell me you pulled that off?"
"Who else can attack a country if not Broderick Alessandro?" He smirked.
'This man gets Mysterious day after day, how can pressing a wrist watch result to a bomb blast in another country?' Amy thought as she looked at Broderick in fear.
Broderick's face immediately turned into a stern one, "why can't you stop him from Kissing you? You couldn't even push him away, did you really have feelings for him?"
"I don't, I don't know why I couldn't stop him," Amy said, feeling guilty for letting Nolan kiss her. She was the one who told Broderick to divorce Martha yet she was the one kissing another man. "Is this the divorce paper?" She pointed to the paper that Broderick tore few minutes ago.
"Yes, I did it for you but you paid me back by kissing another man," Broderick said.
"I'm so sorry," Amy pleaded earnestly.
"Sorry? How can I be so sure that if he makes an attempt to kiss you another time, you would be able to stop him? What if he had made an advance to have sex with you, will you also be so gullible to let him have his way?" Broderick asked. He can't seem to understand why Amy lacked the courage to stop Nolan from kissing her.
"He can't do that," Amy said.
"What if he does? If you have a secrete feelings for him, just say it," Broderick said.
"I already told you I don't love him, why are you making this issue more complicated than it seemed? I apologized, I'm sorry," Amy said, almost getting frustrated.
"Did you think 'sorry' is enough to heal the pain I felt? What if he had pinned you to the floor and wanted to have sex with you, would you have allowed him? Or will you be so weak as you were to let him have his way?" Broderick demanded a response, the tone of his voice was getting harder.
"No!" Amy screamed in frustration.
"How can I be so sure, huh? You can't even stop him from Kissing you yet you claim you don't love him. I just regret the fact that you forced me to divorce the mother of my children," Broderick said.
"What exactly did you want? We are not even in a relationship? I only felt guilty cause I kissed another man despite telling you to divorce your wife," Amy said.
Broderick just wanted to know the exact reason why she couldn't stop Nolan from Kissing her, he wanted to be sure that such will not repeat itself in the future, but Amy wasn't giving him a suitable response," so if we are not in a relationship, why did you want me to divorce my wife then?"
Amy didn't know what to say, she just looked away.
Out of anger and pain, Broderick declared," I hate you."
Amy looked at him in shock, "really? Well, I don't like you either. I like Nolan. He's a gentleman that you are."
Broderick actually didn't mean what he said, he only said that he hated her out of frustration, actually, his heart always long and pant earnestly for her. He felt heartbroken with what she said, so Nolan was a gentleman while he was not, right? He smiled to cover up for his painful gaze and nodded, "'Your gentleman' Nolan is the major general now, go to him and be with him."
Broderick then went to sit, "as soon as my children comes back from school, I'm taking them away with me. You can go and live the rest of your life with your 'gentleman'. Afterall, the both of you betrayed NorthHill."
Broderick rested his back on the couch nobly and crossed his legs, he was trying to make his mind blank but the thought that Amy may end up kissing Nolan in the future again and again was torturing him.
