Meanwhile, a few minutes after Brandon left the room, Hannah stood up from the bed and went to take her bath. After which, she put on a simple dress and walked out of the room.She walked to her children’s room and it was empty. The room looked so scattered. They had thrown their toys in the corner of the room. Hannah sighed softly and picked up the toys from the ground, put them in their places, and arranged the room.After which, she walked out of the room and went downstairs, where she met Jessica speaking to one of the maids.The maids were back from their leave. “Hey,” Jessica muttered the moment she saw Hannah and walked towards her. She smiled at Jessica.“Where’s the octuplets?” Hannah asked “Oh, they went out with Brandon just now. He said he was taking them to buy ice cream” Jessica said and Hannah nodded in response.“How about mom?” She scrutinized the whole place as everyone was busy in the house. The party was tomorrow and the house helps were all making sure everythi
“I just have this feeling that something bad is about to happen,” Hannah said and Arianna smiled. “I know you do not love parties, but it’s just a one-day thing and it’s gone. You would be opportuned to meet a lot of businessmen and women” Arianna said as she touched Hannah’s shoulders and she nodded in response. Hannah sighed and decided to upstairs and get dressed for the party that would be starting in a few minutes from now. The moment she got to her room, she saw a shopping bag which contained a red dress and a red face mask. There was a letter in it.“Put it on for me,” She read out loud and turned her back and saw Anonymous.She rolled her eyes knowing fully well that it was Brandon who sent the dress to her room. She walked inside the bathroom, took her bath, and walked out of the bathroom.She dried her body and rubbed her lotion, after which she put on her underwear and walked towards her wardrobe searching for what she would wear but she found nothing.She stared at the
Hannah was in deep thought while both Arianna and Jessica admired her dress. Just then a text message popped on their phones at once from a strange number, stating Meet me in the study room.They all stared at each other at once wondering who had sent the text message.“Maybe it’s Brandon,” Hannah said and they all shrugged and decided to go to the study room.They walked inside the study room, opened the door, and to their surprise it was empty. They both stared at each other looking confused.Hannah decided to call Brandon.Brandon, who was seen speaking with Senator Harrington and his wife, suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He brought out his phone and checked the text message.*Meet me in the study room* the message stated, and Brandon wondered who had sent the message because it was from a strange number. “Please enjoy the party, Excuse me,” she said to Senator Harrington and his wife before walking away. He climbed upstairs and made his way to his study room when he heard his ph
“I know, that’s why I’m going to leave the country,” Elizabeth said and Jessica sighed softly and wiped her tears. “Are you sure about that?” Jessica asked and she nodded in response. “I would help you book your flight and get the necessary things you need, so you can leave tomorrow morning,” Jessica said and Elizabeth sighed.“You can stay in my room, I will go make some calls now,” she said and with that, she walked out of the room.The moment Brandon had asked the guards to throw Robert out of the house, Hannah’s mind drifted to her kids.She quickly rushed out of the study room and went to her kid's room, where she met them asleep. The maid whom she had told to watch them was also asleep. She placed her hands on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She walked out of the room and closed. A lot of thoughts going through her mind. She walked to her room and closed the door. She removed the dress she was wearing and put on another dress. She stared at the dress in her hands wond
Meanwhile, Hannah who was in her room heard noises from downstairs and decided to come see what was going on. To her surprise, she saw The FBI taking Arianna away and Brandon was seen on a phone call speaking with the DPO.“What's going on?” Hannah asked and Brandon who was on the phone hung up and then turned to Hannah. “I just heard from the DPO that someone testified that she saw Mom kill Robert, an eye witness, “ Brandon said and Hannah stared at him confused. “That's not true, she didn't leave the house last night, she would never do such a thing,” Hannah said looking so worried. “I think whoever killed Robert is trying to frame Mom for it,” Jessica said and Brandon sighed as text messages kept popping up on his phone.“I know, that's why I'm going to the station now and I'm going to bail her out. You all just have to calm down” Brandon said and was about to leave when Hannah called his name. “Brandon” she called and he turned to her. “I'm coming with you,” she said and Bra
“Hello, children” Matthew muttered as he smiled at the octuplets who weren’t smiling at him in return. They had no expression on their faces and didn’t say a word to Matthew. Matthew turned to Jessica who smiled and stepped forward. “Uhm Matthew, these are Brandon’s kids,” Jessica said and Matthew mouthed a wow. He knew Brandon had kids from what Jessica had told him, what he didn’t know was that they were eight kids.Those times he stayed at the mansion, he didn't get the chance to meet them in person.Matthew didn’t need anyone to tell him they were Brandon’s kids. They look so much like him.“Yeah they look so cute,” Matthew said and Jessica smiled.“And who are you?” Jayden questioned as he placed his hands in his pocket, giving him a cold look that was so cute. “Uhm, I’m Matthew, your aunt’s boyfriend,” Matthew said and the kids stared at each other. Jessica knew the kids so much and how tricky they can be, they will ask Matthew so many questions today if she doesn't stop the
Chapter 170The moment Hannah walked out of the study room, she saw Arianna about to walk in. “What's wrong? I heard the sound of broken glasses, is he alright? Are you okay?” Arianna asked and Hannah sighed softly. “I don't know if he's okay, he looks furious, he says his father is back and is the one behind all this, I really don't know,” Hannah said and Arianna walked past her and entered the study room. There she met Brandon, staring into nothing, he looked so lost in thoughts.“I said I wanna be alone, Hannah,” he said as he noticed someone had walked inside the study room.“Honey, it's me, it's your mom,” Arianna said and Brandon raised his head and glanced at her. “Hannah told me, you think it's him!” Arianna asked and Brandon nodded in response. “It's fine honey, everything is going to be alright,” Arianna said trying to console his son who was looking more than angry. “No, it's not gonna be alright. Nothing is gonna be fine. He's a monster, a self-serving asshole. You do
Chapter 171Hannah had helped the kids arrange their clothes and some of their toys and put them in the car. Arianna had asked Hannah to stay at home while she went to drop them off at Sandra’s place because she knows how much Hannah is attached to her kids and she wouldn't be able to leave them. The moment Arianna left with the kids, Hannah walked inside the house, where she met Matthew and Jessica talking. She walked past them and went to her room, she closed the door behind her and laid on the bed tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind. Suddenly, she drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, a male figure is seen sitting in a large hotel room, smoking Indian hemp while watching the TV. It was no other person but Wilson Colby. He sighed softly as he watched the news of Arianna being released from prison. He was the one who had paid a woman to testify against Arianna, but now his plan has been ruined because of his son, Brandon.He frowned as he puffed out smoke from his mouth. He
It was morning and Hannah had woken up early. She woke up feeling energized and all.She had brought out her laptop and sent messages to all the members of the board except Brandon that there was going to be a Meeting today.After which she got dressed. She made sure she looked her best and dressed in a way Brandon would stare at her and would not be able to resist her looks.After which she hopped in her car, and zoomed off to the company. Her car came to a stop at the company, she walked straight to her office.A lot of people seemed to be surprised to see her, they probably thought she was there to hand over the position to Isabella Edward but they didn't know she was there to take over. She checked her time and saw it was time for the meeting. She took her laptop and some important files, after which she walked out of her office and locked the door to the office, taking the key with her so that no one would be able to get in. She walked to the board room and met everyone sitting
Hannah pulled away from the kiss and glared at his charming eyes. She glared at his wet plump lips from the kiss and then walked away from him. Brandon made to move towards her again but she shifted back. Just then Brandon heard his phone ring, he brought out his phone and checked his caller’s ID and then answered the phone call.“I'm on my way,” he said and ended the call and then glared at Hannah one more time before walking out of the room, closing the door behind him. She wondered who had called him. The thought of Isabella being the one who called him made her want to puke. She wondered where Isabella had come from, she was out of town the last time she checked and this was Linda’s plan all this while, Hannah scoffed and shook her head.She moved towards the door to see if it was locked from the outside but it wasn't. She opened the door and walked out of the room. She decided to go downstairs and drink water.She walked downstairs and to her greatest surprise she saw Linda in
Hannah had just gotten home from the event. She didn’t waste any time, instead, she walked straight to her room upstairs and brought out her clothes from the wardrobe.She brought out her luggage and started arranging her clothes in it and suddenly the door to the room opened and Brandon walked in.“You left like that, we were supposed to be in the event together,” he paused when he saw luggage on the bed.“What’s going on here?” Brandon asked in deep shock as he glared at Hannah who was packing her clothes.Hannah raised her head, glared at him, and looked away, proceeding with what she was doing without saying a word.“You are leaving?” Brandon asked and Hannah still didn’t say a word.“I’m talking to you, are you leaving?” He asked again, probably not believing what was happening right in front of him.“I’m no longer needed in the company Brandon, you kicked me out and made your ex-girlfriend the new COO. What do you need me for?” Hannah asked as she raised her head and glared at h
“What?” Hannah opened her mouth wide in shock at what Brandon had said. He was publicly asking her to step down as the COO because he knew if he asked her in private she would not and doing it in public in front of everyone would leave her no choice but to step down. Hannah glared back at the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Linda at the coroner of the hall with an evil smirk on her face. She knew this was all Linda’s doings. She wondered what she had told Brandon that made him want her to step down.Hannah who was already pissed tried moving away from the stage but the Brandon tightened his grip on her wrist and held her from moving, while he kept smiling.“I know you all are wondering who the new COO would be. Well, she’s someone you all know, my long-time friend and a family too, Isabella Edward ....” Brandon muttered and Isabella stepped on the stage with a broad smile on her face. Hannah opened her eyes wide in shock, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “What the hell is g
It was morning and Hannah was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing tone. With her sleeping eyes, she picked up her phone and answered it without checking the caller’s ID.“Hello Ma’am,” she heard Liam’s voice from the other side of the phone. She quickly opened her eyes wide.“Liam,” she muttered as she sat up properly on the bed.“Ma’am, the event is about to begin and we are waiting for you…” Liam muttered and Hannah who was confused had asked what event.“The company’s 25th anniversary,“ Liam muttered and Hannah opened her mouth wide in shock. She had completely forgotten about the event. She was so distracted with everything happening around her that she didn’t know the event was today and she wasn’t even prepared.“We are waiting for you Ma'am” Liam who didn’t hear Hannah’s voice anymore muttered jolting Hannah out of her thoughts again.“Of course, I’m on my way, Liam,” she said and ended the call: she checked the time on her phone and saw it was past 12.“Shit!” She muttere
“I didn’t, Linda showed me these pictures and told me you are having an affair, I do not want to believe it…” he muttered softly.“Then you shouldn’t…, can’t you see your mom is trying to come between us. You should do your research before believing what you are being told”“And I did my research and found out you truly bought the condo unit. Are you planning on leaving me or divorcing me?”“No, I can explain that…”“No Hannah, I do not want an explanation, save it…”“I don’t know what Linda told you but I expect you not to believe them…”“Oh please, save it. She was right, You’ve been playing me this whole time. Did you ever love me like you said?…” “Can you hear yourself right now Brandon?” She muttered, staring at him with a shock-filled expression.“I’m out of here, have a good night,” Hannah muttered as she took her bag and car keys and walked past Brandon and he didn’t try to stop her from leaving. She walked out of the house. She entered her car, ignited the engine, and drove
It was afternoon and Brandon was back from the meeting he had gone to. Hannah, who had received the information that he was back, went to his office.She planted a soft knock on the door and pushed the door open. There she met Brandon going through some files on his table.“Brandon!!” Hannah called and he hummed without staring at her face. Hannah paused for a second waiting for him to raise his head and at least acknowledge her presence but it seems she was waiting in vain.She then proceeded to what she had come for.“Brandon, your mom, she needs to be out of this company. She just fired two of our employees today. She’s putting this company at risk…” Hannah paused waiting for him to speak but he didn’t say a word neither did he raise his head.Hannah gritted her teeth. She took a deep breath and sighed.“Brandon I am talking to you,” Hannah yelled and Brandon raised his head immediately.“Were you even listening to me?” Hannah asked with a look of surprise on her face. “Yes, I was
Meanwhile, Hannah stared at Brandon looking surprised at his decision.She sighed softly. Brandon was joking, there was no way Linda would work at the company. She would not allow it, never.It was morning the next day and Hannah had gotten dressed up for work. She had left in her car all alone since Brandon left early because he needed to see a client, who was waiting for him at the company early.The moment she arrived at the company, she saw all the workers gossiping and everywhere looked ununiformed. But the moment they saw her, everywhere became as silent as hell.She wondered what was going on.“Welcome ma’am,”“Welcome ma’am” they all muttered while they bowed their head and she nodded. She needed no soothsayer to tell her something was going on in the company.She called one of the employees and asked her to come with her to her office. The employee nodded and walked Behind as they walked to her office.The moment they got to her office, she dropped her bag on the table and tu
Meanwhile, Hannah had gotten home early from work. She had left Brandon at the company because he needed to be somewhere with his assistant, Liam.They needed to see the ongoing project on their new site.Hannah had gotten home and taken her bath after which she had prepared dinner. There weren’t many maids in the house, just Alex the butler, and two other housekeepers. Hannah had dismissed the other to go back to their family and children since it was a holiday period. The others at the house didn’t have any family to return to so they had to stay in Colby’s mansion.She walked inside the kitchen and prepared dinner after which she set the table. While she was setting the table, she heard the front door open.She raised her head and saw Lucas walk in. He wasn’t alone. He was with no one else but Linda.Hannah swallowed into nothing as Linda gave her a strange smile and walked towards her.“Hey, I didn’t know you would be coming,” Hannah said with a smile on her face.“And I didn’t k
