“Sir, they are not willing to sell it,” Brett who was seated before Broderick answered. Broderick had ordered him to buy BS company, he knew that Callan would keep appearing before Amy at her workplace. He didn‘t care what relationship had subsisted between Callan and Amy or one that subsists at the moment, but as long as Amy was his wife, he wasn‘t ready to see her with any man. “How dare they?” Broderick was angry and then said, “tell them that if they didn‘t sell it in three days, I‘ll shut down the company.” “Alright, sir,” Brett said and walked away. Broderick wanted to buy the company at twice the amount it worth, yet they dared not to sell it for him? He was the most powerful man here and hence he can buy whatever he wants to buy. He stood from his seat and went to lean on his desk, he wondered why he broke down before Amy yesterday. He clearly hates her yet he had to pour our his mind to her yesterday. He poured out the secrete that he had never poured out to anyone to her. That‘s weird. He was only in marriage with her because of his mother, once his mother die, he would let her leave with her kids. He had already determined to never to give any woman a chance again. He didn‘t beleive and would never fall in love with anyone ever again. It was a decision he made a long time ago. His phone chirped briefly and he turned to pick up the phone and seeing that the caller ID was Brett, he answered,” have they agreed?” He asked before he could even say a word. “Not yet, sir …I’m still at the process of arranging a meeting with them. I‘ll give you feedback as soon as we come to conclusion, sir. However, I called to inform you that someone child bullied Elijah, Moses and Elisha. The child was a senior student but was still little. It‘s against the policy of the school for us to lay hands on the boy.” Broderick asked in anger,” how old is the boy?” “Nine, sir,” he answered.
“No one steps their foot out of that school until I‘m there,” he commanded and hung up immediately. Not giving Brett the chance to even say a word.
He walked out and once his head of guards saw him walking out, he placed an internal call to all his escorts to be at alert as it seems the boss was heading somewhere. The door to his Bentley was opened for him and he stepped in, “To RF school.” His head of guard communicated at once to others and the sets of cars began to move. About eight minutes later, their cars parked at the compound of the school. A lot of parents who came to pick their ward weren‘t allowed to step a foot outside of the school, no one knows why precisely and some were even angry but when they saw Broderick step down from the car, no one dared to say a word again. Everyone already heard the news of how a little girl ran to Broderick and called him dad, there had been runours that had been spreading around that Broderick may now have a child. So when many saw him here, they beleived he was here for his child. Brett walked quickly to Broderick and said, “sir, the parents of the boy too is around now, should we

reported. An angry vein appeared at Broderick‘s forehead at once. Were they bullied that much? “Sir, here is the boy and his father,” Brett interrupted the father and daughters talk. Broderick stood with rage boiling in his nerves, he looked at the foreign Man who had a different color from his. He could tell with his color that he was not a citizen of NorthHill, perhaps, he came from a different country. He then looked at the little boy who clearly doesn‘t have a look of romorse on his face. “You bullied my children, how dare you? Broderick asked the young boy. The boy held onto his father‘s palm and said,” daddy, he wants to beat me.” Broderick looked at the man who also had a fearless look on his face, he spoke in his foregn accent, “my son is young and you can‘t beat him, or will you beat a young boy?” Broderick didn‘t know that there was someone in North Hill who could speak to him this way, “are you seeking for your death?” He clenched his fist after saying this. The man giggled and looked at Broderick‘s clenched fist,” oh! You want to beat me! Hahaha … Is that how it works over here? An adult trying to beat another adult cause their children were bullied, huh?“. “Listen, my child only taught your children some lesson. You should go ahead and teach your children to be respectful. My son has done nothing wrong, “the foreign man said. Broderick threw a heavy punch to his face that sent him falling to the floor, beside him were two of his front teeths that had been immediately removed. The man saw stars for a while and lost strength immediately, Broderick‘s blow was too heavy. Broderick went to him and pulled him up roughly with his collar,” your son bullied mine and you can‘t even rebuke him at the very least? Was that how it works where you came from?” The man now had a look of
asked him all necessary information, after confirming it, Brett turned to Broderick and told him where he works and that he and his family had just moved to NorthHill two month ago “Call their CEO and tell him to fire him, then put a news all over NorthHill that whoever dares to employ him is looking
then turned to the bully boy,” this will be your last day in this school, I‘ll also not let you attend any school over here in NorthHill. So unless you go back to your country where you can bully students, you won‘t be able to go to school.” The boy immediately broke down and
father of the boy who bullied you for your sake. And as for the bully, he had broken down in tears and promised not to ever bully you anymore.” “You did that?” Elisha sniffed in and asked. Broderick cleaned the tears on Elisha‘s face with his handkerchief, he cleaned that of Elijah, then cleaned the tears of Moses too. “I‘m the most powerful man in NorthHill, no one can bully you otherwise, the person will be facing my wrath,” Broderick said. The sad boys immediately cheered up immediately, they loved how Broderick fought on their behalf. “Dad, I love you,” Moses said
a surprising look, they find his
The Bully Boy “I won‘t bully anyone again too, do you forgive me?” The boy asked. “Erm…” Elisha thought about it and whispered some words to Moses, Moses then whispered some words to Elijah. Elijah coughed and said,” we will forgive you under one condition.” “Okay, I‘ll do anything,” he said. Elijah looked at his brothers again and then adjusted the tie on his uniform, “we will all slap your bumbum each as a punishment for what you did for us.” “No,” Broderick chirped in, “don‘t revenge what he did to you. As long as he‘s willing to change, forgive him.”
“But he beat us, is it not only just if we beat our own back?” Elisha asked. “If he takes your eyes and you take his eyes too and everyone does the same, don‘t you think everyone on earth will have been blind? But if someone who took your eyes comes to you and apologize, is it not better if you forgive him without retaliating? That way, he can guide you anywhere you want to go. He would be your eyes,” Broderick lectured his boys and they understood. “Okay, we forgive you but you won‘t do that again, right?” Moses asked. “Yes, thank you so much,” the boy said and turned. Before he could take a step, Moses stood and touched him, “hey, tell us your name?” “Jay,“the bully boy tuned and answered. “Okay, Jay…are we friends now?” Moses stretched his hand to him and Jay smiled. “Sure,” he received his handshake and hugged him. It was a beautiful sight to behold. After disengaging from the hug, Moses turned to his brothers and signalled for them to come over, Elisha and Elijah stood and went ahead to hug Jay. “You should come to our house to play with us one of these days,” Moses said. “Sure, I‘ll be glad. I need to leave now, my dad must be waiting for me,” he said. Afterwards, they wave Jay a good bye. After Jay had faded out of sight, Broderick stood and said,” it‘s good that you made peace with him. It‘s always good when we make peace with people. “Okay, dad,” many of the kids said. “Since I came to your school today, I think we should branch somewhere you may like,” Broderick said with a broad smile.
“Yes dad, let‘s branch to an ice cream joint,” Moses said. “Do we all agree?” Broderick asked and the kids answered in unison , ‘yes.‘
