Amy and her six kids were now in the mansion, the kids were in Nell's room, Amy told the kids that the woman was their second grandma and would be responsible for taking care of them but since she lives in the mansion, she would always check up on them and play with them as usual.
Most importantly, she warned the kids again and again to now refer to her as 'aunt' rather than to refer to her as 'mum.' When the children asked why, she told them that it was necessary for now. She said they will all be protected if they refer to as such and they all concurred eventhough they couldn't fully understand the reason behind why their mother wanted them to be referring to her as 'aunt' from now henceforth.
But as long as they would all be protected, they would do just as she had wanted them to do.
Amy's greatest fear was for the children not to refer to her as mum before Broderick.
Amy who was seated on the couch in the large room that she and and Broderick were to be staying smiled when she remembered how Elizabeth and Nell showerd the kids with so much love when they saw them.
But her smile soon dissapeared from her face when she saw Broderick walk in, "successfully married to the most powerful man in the city. Now your dream has come through, right?"
"That's not my dream, " Amy shook her head, looking at him with a fearful look.
"Deceive yourself all you want," he smiled when he said this but Amy was confused. Why was he smiling. He has seen him smirk but smile? No!
"This evening, as husband and wife, I think we should take a stroll down there, there are interesting views at the back of the house, infact, we've got fish pool, swimming pool, and just so many other lovely stuffs, you will love it when you see it," he walked towards an office seat and sat before the table.
He flipped over some pages and soon engrossed himself in reading.
Amy has never been confused all her life. Why was he acting all nice now. She thought that he would punch her in the face already on seeing her here, did he like her or what? ...like? No! That will be thinking too far. That's never possible.
She adjusted herself to the backrest of the bed and covered herself with the duvet. Would they be sleeping together this evening? Although he was acting nice, she couldn't help the tense feeling she was feeling at this moment.
A couple of hours later, he stood from the chair and said," it's evening, let's go."
Amy nodded and flipped the duvet away from her body, they walked out of the room together and while they were stepping out, Elizabeth saw them and smiled beautifully but Nell didn't but as soon as Elizabeth looked at her to speak, she quickly formed a smile," Nell, don't you see that's it's so beautiful seeing these two get together so quickly, they met just two days ago and they are already getting along."
"It's so incredible, I hope he accepts her children too cause that would make it all so perfect," Nell said.
"Sure, he will. You know when a man loves a woman, loving everything else about her wouldn't be a problem but it's too early to reveal the real identity of the children for now, let's give them more time together," Elizabeth said, smiling happily.
"Yeah, " Nell smiled but as soon as Elizabeth looked away, Nell's face fell back into a malicious one.
Amy and Broderick began to walk in silence to the back of the house and as soon as they appeared there, Amy could tell that this was indeed a beautiful sight.
The pool wasn't an average pool, it was large and the environment was designed with all sort of flowers.
"It's beautiful," Amy tried to break the silence between them but Broderick didn't say a word. His face was indifferent, one couldn't tell if he was angry or calm.
Amy felt embarassed when she spoke but got no response, didn't he brought her here to show her how beautiful this place was yet she complimented this place and he didn't say a word.
After they had worked a large distance, far from the mansion and were now before a medium sized house. Amy had no idea what was inside this house.
"Inside this house, there are some beautiful designs there, you can check," he said and Amy nodded with a bright smile on her lips, she walked inside but didn't see anything at first, then all of a sudden, she saw a snake. Her eyes furrowed when she saw the very big snake crawling towards her.
She turned immediately in fear to the door and screamed, she wanted to run out but realized the door had been closed.
The door was made of glass and it was possible for the person outside to see who was inside and vice versa.
She slapped the door repeatedly and screamed, "save me! There is a snake here."
Broderick who was standing calmly before the house said casually with a grim look," I know."
"It will bite me, please save me," she shouted and took a quick glance at the snake that was already almost getting to her.
He shook his head and said," your days of mystery starts today. Didn't you want to get married to me? This is what a desperate greedy and cunning woman gets."
The snake striked her leg and she screamed out in pain, once the snake bite her, it turned away.
She fell behind the door and an excruciating pain surges through her body, she cried and cried and was scared that the snake bite would kill her.
But wait! Why is he not here? Amy confirmed that this was 3AM yet Broderick was not here. Aren't they supposed to be sleeping in the same room?
She stood and walked out of her room to Nell's room, she twisted the knob and walked in. She saw her children scattered on the king size bed. Nell was sleeping on a separate bed, the room was large enough to even contain fifteen people.
She examind her children and when she saw that they were fine, she kissed them all in their forehead and promised herself to check them up in the morning before the driver appointed to take them to school would drive them off to school.
Her children were everything to her, she walked out of Nell's room and she suddenly sighted someone walk out of the room. She had no idea whom this person is. She walked quickly inside her room and saw that everything was still intact. Could that be Broderick or someone else?
She ensured she locked the door before going back to bed.
In the morning, when Broderick stepped out of his room, dressed in a deep black suit, he saw his second mum, Nell, taking six adorable children in their school uniform out of the room.
"God really blessed this woman," Broderick thought. During his meeting with Nell after she newly came around, Nell had told him that she gave birth to sextuplets a year before her husband died and he beleived it.
He lived with Nell when he was young for about four years because that period, his parents were having a consistent fight that was affecting his mental health so he had to stay away from them and only came back after everything was settled.
Nell was very nice to him then, she never maltreated him or spoke hurtful words to her. This was why he still respect the woman and was glad that she eventually became fruitful.
"Mother," she called Nell and soon caught up with her and the six kids.
"Hey, my son," Nell touched his cheek as she used to do when she was young, "I beleive your first night with your wife was great?"
"Yes, mother," he answered with a bright smile.
Amy woke late and when she checked the time, she knew that the children would be on their way to school already so without combing or dressing, she rushed out in her 'newly wake up' state and rushed towards the extra large living room only to see Broderick with Nell and the six children.
The six children set their gaze keenly on Broderick as if observing something. Nell could see the clear resemblance between the boys and Broderick but Broderick didn't really take a look at the kids despite the fact that the kids were looking at him.
"Dad," Elijah called all of a sudden and Amy almost bury herself. What came upon this children? Why would they call someone they are seeing for the first time, 'dad?'
