“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 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
Chapter 1 A Black car screeched to a halt in front of a big company. Hannah alighted the car and walked inside the company, to her office. She dropped her bag on the table and was about to sit down when she heard her phone ring. She brought out the phone from her handbag. She checked the caller's ID and saw it was her boss. She quickly answered the phone call. “Hell………”“Report to my office immediately, Hannah,” her boss's voice echoed over the phone, cutting her off. He sounded so furious.She wondered what must have happened that made him that furious. She quickly rushed out of her office and entered the elevator that was going to the seventh floor.She planted a soft knock on the door and when there was no response she opened the door and walked in. There she met her boss looking as furious as ever. “I called you two minutes ago and you are just coming now” her boss yelled and she flinched. She had come immediately after he called her, it hadn't been up to a minute. “But sir.
Chapter 2Hannah opened her bleary eyes and discovered she was in a dark room with her hands tied above her head. She noticed she was lying on a soft material, a bed to be precise. The room was so dark that she could barely see a thing. The only thing she could feel was pain all over her, her body hurting like hell. She knew she passed out but she didn't know how long she's passed out. Memories of everything that happened came rushing into her head like a flash. How two hefty men had dragged her inside the car and placed a handkerchief in her nose and she had lost consciousness. That was the last thing she remembered and now she finds herself in a dark room on a bed with her hands tied. “Oh my goodness! I have been kidnapped” she thought as fear rang through her veins. She wondered who must have kidnapped her, the thought of her kidnappers killing her made a shiver run down her spine. She began to wonder who must have kidnapped her. She had no enemy, she's never offended anyone.
Chapter 3Hannah opened her bleary eyes. Staring at the surroundings, wondering where she was. “Hannah you are awake” she heard a voice. That voice. It sounded so familiar. It was the voice that had asked her to stay with her. “Where am I?” Hannah asked as her vision was already becoming clearer.“You are in the hospital. How are you feeling?” The woman asked and then Hannah turned to her. It was a beautiful woman with long, lush hair.She had blue eyes and her skin was so white. She looked like a rich woman, Of Course, she was. Hannah could see she was a rich woman even from the way she speaks and act. As she stared at the woman a sense of familiarity washed through her.“How are you feeling?” The woman asked with a smile on her face and Hannah stared at her weirdly wondering who she was and why she was being so caring. She knew she had brought her to the hospital, but why?. She didn’t even know this woman but she had saved her life and brought her to the hospital. It was so weird
Chapter 4“Congratulations Hannah Rodriguez, your new name is now Cinderella Mackenzie. Welcome to the world of wealth and riches” the lawyer said and Hannah smiled at her. “Excuse me,” the lawyer said and with that, they walked out.Arianna smiled at Hannah. “So, you are officially my daughter. We need to celebrate “ Arianna said and Hannah forced herself to smile“Can you please get me out of this hospital first?” Hannah said and Arianna smiled. “Of course, I will. Your passport, I mean our passport is ready. We leave for New York City tonight” Arianna said and Hannah stared at her weirdly. “Why leave? I thought you would stay here in Atlanta?” Hannah asked“Yes, I do but I have my house in New York and I’m taking you there to rest. You are too weak to strive at the Mikelsons. I’m sure they know your weakness and they will use it against you, making you lose the battle against them. If you want to strike your enemies and win, you must go unexpectedly and ready, like a thief in
Chapter 5A red sports car screeched to a halt in front of a big mansion.Arianna and Hannah alighted the red sports car. “Welcome to New York City and welcome to my home, your home,” Arianna said and Hannah smiled at her. Hannah was a very calm person, she wasn’t the kind of person who talks much, and all she knew how to do was smile.They both walked inside the house and Arianna could see lots of maids running to and fro like they were trying to put things in order. “Welcome ma'am, welcome ma'am “ the maids kept bowing their heads as they saw Arianna, she just smiled and waved at them and they smiled at her in return. Hannah stared at Arianna, she was probably the nicest woman she's met in these few days. “Ma’am Arianna” An advanced woman called as she walked towards Arianna and hugged her. “Oh!! Mama Luciana. How are you” Arianna asked in the most caring tone ever.“I am more than okay. I miss you a lot and I'm glad you are finally home. Who is she?” mama Luciana asked and Aria
Chapter 6Meanwhile, Rhoda and Jeff's mom, Rosa, are seen sitting together in Mikealson’s mansion, laughing. They looked so happy.“I'm glad I finally got rid of Hannah for good. My son just wouldn't want to leave her alone. Even though he knows she's cursed and she eats her kids, that's why all the children she gave birth to died. Witch like her. Who knew she was going to end up being barren” Rosa said in a disgusting tone making Rhoda smile. Rosa knew she was the one behind what Hannah had gone through. Only she and the nurse she paid knew about what she has done.“Hannah is cursed. She killed her mother when she was a child. That’s why she had no relative or family members” Rhoda said and Rosa opened her eyes wide.“Oh my goodness!! I knew it!! She killed her mother and she lied she had cancer and died. I wonder where Jeff picked her from. I’m glad she’s gone for good, now you can be my daughter in law. And I’m glad you gonna give me an heir, finally “ Rosa muttered and Rhoda gig

“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.

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
Hannah and Brandon had left for the company after they had breakfast. They had left in Brandon’s car.The car came to a stop in front of the company and They both alighted the car and walked inside the company to their respective offices.Hannah on the other hand had begun work immediately after she arrived and also had an interview with a media person inside her office.After she was done with the interview, she left the company to go see a client she had scheduled with a hotel.She had gotten to the hotel and was led by the receptionist to the VIP area. She had gotten there and met a male figure sitting in the chair while operating his phone.She wasn’t expecting to see a male. It was a female.“Hello, Mrs Colby…” the man said immediately as he caught a glimpse of her and stood up immediately.“Hi…” Hannah muttered looking confused wondering who the man was.“Oh, you must be wondering why Mrs Caro Clinton is not here. She had to attend our daughter’s school ceremony: and I had to co
It’s been a week since everyone had found out Lucas wasn't a Colby, instead, she was a product of her mother’s infidelity with the former driver.Hannah had woken up early and prepared not much breakfast since it was just her, Jessica, Brandon, and Lucas at the house.Arianna had left for New York with her boyfriend, Micheal, and the kids. Linda hadn’t shown her face since what happened at the baby’s shower. Everyone understood he was down and needed space. Anyone would be down after what had happened. Imagine finding out the baby you thought was yours wasn’t yours, the same day you found out your father wasn’t your biological father.After Hannah had finished setting up the table, she called the maids to inform everyone that breakfast was ready which they did and in no time everyone was coming downstairs for breakfast.“I miss the kids so much, the house looks so boring without them,” Jessica who is seen climbing down the stairs muttered and then sighed as she moved towards the dini
Meanwhile, everyone was waiting for the party to start and just then Linda picked up the microphone calling everyone's attention to her.“I know a lot of you might be wondering while I’m the one holding the mic, well I’m a good MC and there’s nothing I can’t do,” she said and everyone laughed.“Well, it’s my grandchild's gender reveal today and we are going to find out what the gender is. If it’s a boy or a girl. Although I would be happy if it’s both, “ she said and everyone in the room burst into laughter..“But first I would call the father and the mother forward. Lucas and Kara, please step forward,” Linda said and they Both walked forward to the stage, where everyone was staring at them.“Well, this beautiful lady here is carrying my son’s child and as we know, none of us is aware of the gender and we are going to find out, today, here and now,” Linda said with a smile on her lips and Jessica who was staring at her from upstairs rolled her eyes. “Time for the reveal,” Linda said
It was morning and the house was busy, unlike every other day. Today was the day of the baby shower and Kara and Lucas could be seen running around, trying to get everything in order.Hannah and Brandon hadn’t gone to work today. No one left the house, as they needed to be available at the baby shower.They had to be there for Lucas while they revealed the gender of the baby. Linda could be seen standing with Kara while they told the electrical man where to put the projector to reveal the gender of the baby.Arianna could be seen in the dining room with Hannah watching the whole scene.“Who doesn’t know she’s a devil in sheep's apparel would think she’s supportive. I know she’s just trying to be close to her, so she could find a way to get rid of her,” Arianna said as she rolled her eyes and Hannah chuckled. Lucas could be seen standing at the stair rails all dressed up, while he glared at Linda and Kara bond together. He was glad Linda was making progress and wasn’t rude to the mot
