Chapter 30
The court day was today and here was Broderick seated majestically with his personal assistant and three of his executive assistant and head of guard se ated around him. Amy was seating before him while Callan was seated alone on the rows of seat that was beside the ones that Brod erick sat. Callan‘s lawyer was the first to speak, After speaking in defense of Callan, he presented the invalid divorce papers that Amy only signed but doesn‘t have the signature of Callan there. ‘This jerk didn‘t sign it even after six years!‘ Amy mumbled angrily. Callan‘s lawyer then went ahead and talked about why the six children were for Callan. The six children were in a separate court room at this moment. None of the kids had an idea of what was going on but they were nervous cause of the little knowledge they had about court. Callan‘s lawyer went ahead and present a DNA test result that proved that the children were for Callan. Amy stood and shouted,” what! That‘s not true. That result is for ged.” Amy was so sure of that. “Order!” The judge ordered and then collected the DNA test result, he examined it and seeing the stamp of one of the reputable hospital i n it, the judge beleived it was true as they would never stamp such result if it was not true. Amy sat back, seriously burning in anger. This idiot obviously forged the result. When Broderick saw Callan‘s lawyer present the DNA test result to the judge, his heart sunk in to his belly and his eyes closed for a while. So the kids were for Callan? After Callan‘s lawyer was done proving that Callan‘s marriage wi th Amy was still valid and that the children were for both Callan and Amy, he sat. The judge then gestured for Broderick’s lawyer to speak, he only went ahea d to talk about why the children should stay with Broderick eventhough the children were not for him. “If t he kids were with Mr. Broderick with the absense of their mother, Mr. Broderick would have been accused of kidn ap. But the case of kidnapping is totally invalid,” the judge said. Callan had actually also levied a case of kidnapping against Broderick. His plan was to distract Broderick so he would stop trying to buy his family
company. Broderick felt very bad and set his face on the judge, waiting for her final proclamation, “I declare that the kids are truly for Callan and hence, he has the right to their custody. Mrs. Amy should also return back to their marriage or she is also free to dissolve the Marriage by filing a divorce case.” Amy stood and said,” I don‘t want the Marriage with Callan anymore, that was why my signature is in the divorce paper, I don‘t want to have anything to do with him anymore. I caught him cheating on me in the past, please persuade him to sign the divorce papers.” “This isn‘t the reason why we are here, you can file a different case to dissolve your marriage with Mr. Callan. As for now, let the kids return to Mr. Callan,” the j udge declared. “They are not just his kids, they are my kids too,” Amy said angrily at the judge‘s bias jud gemental, “I have laboured over them for six years then you suddenly want me to hand them over to another man, huh?” “Mrs. Amy, you can get a lawyer. This case is between Mr. Callan and Mr. Broderick, you can bring forward a case between you and your husband later on! Court!” The jud ge brought the court Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
proceeding to an end. Broderick remained seated and watched as the six children were brought from the special court room that they were inside the court room, the kids had their eyes on Broderick but they sa w sadness in his face, their nervousness grew but they suddenly became very sad when they were lead to Callan. The female cop spoke,” lovely kids, this is your real father. He had proved it scientifically and even your mum could testify to him being your father. Your mum doesn‘t w ant you to have anything to do with him cause she doesn‘t like him anymore,” the cop said. “Why didn‘t mum like him anymore?” Elisha asked. “He cheated on your mum with another woman,” the female cop answered. “I have apologized to her and tell her that it was a mistake. I love you all so much,” Callan said. Moses shook his head and cried,” I don‘t like him, I want him,” Moses pointed to Broderick. “I want him as our dad.” Once the other kids saw Moses crying, they all began to cry saying that they want Brod erick to be their dad.
“This is a court order, kids. I‘m so sorry, you will be following your real dad home,” the female cop said an d left. The children sobbed even more, Amy had tears streaming down her face. She felt like she failed h er kids. Broderick would probably kill her now since he had been sparing her because of the kids. Callan stood and ordered his men to let the kids follow him, the kids turned their head while they were being tak en away gently but forcefully, Broderick had his pained eyes on them, his heart broke and couldn‘t watch them anymore, the took his face away slowly. The last time he felt his heart shattered into nothing was w hen he watched a video of his late wife cheating on him. Amy stood and ran after the kids but Callan‘s men wouldn‘t let her reach the kids, she watched as the kids were made to enter Callan‘s ca r and then driven away. It was like her world was taken away from her, she sunk to the floor behind a pilla r and was crying aggresively. She was having a serious headache as a result of crying but she did not ca re, folks around were watching her but she didn‘t care at all. Her heart was broken and she was feeling a n excruciating pain. “Get up!” A noble voice sounded majestic and she raised her weak face up, seeing B rodrick, fear gripped her heart. She stood and pleaded, “please beleive me. I left him many years ago after he cheated on me. The kids were not for him as he stopped having sex with me two months before I caught him che ating. Please… please don‘t punish me.” “Follow me,” Broderick said and she followed fearfully, she didn‘t know what he planned on doing to her. Once Broderick got inside the car, she steppe d in fearfully too, “please don‘t hurt me! Please!”
