Chapter 27Immediately, Brandon walked out of the house, he hopped inside his car and lots of questions went through his mind. The Octuplets, why do they look so much like him? Maybe it was a coincidence, but he began to wonder who the father of the kids was. Meanwhile, Liam who was in the driver's seat stared at Brandon from the rearview mirror. “Do you think the kids are yours?” Liam asked, knowing what was going through Brandon’s heart. “Nah! It’s not possible. I have never met her, not even once. The day she came to my office was the first day I had seen her” Brandon said and Liam nodded in response. “What if she’s the woman from that night and the kids are Brandon’s? The resemblance cannot be a coincidence, it’s too much to be a coincidence, Liam thought but then he quickly shook off the thoughts. He wasn’t ready for another drama, Brandon already believed Rhoda was the girl from that night, he thought. “Are you going home now?” Liam asked “No, I need to meet with Mr. Don
Chapter 28A car came to a stop in front of the octuplets school. The Octuplets alighted the car with their backpacks.“Bye sweethearts” Hannah waved at them. “Bye mommy” the kids waved at her and rushed inside the school building. Hannah smiled as she watched them from inside her car, when they were out of sight, she ignited the engine and zoomed off but immediately a car collided with hers. Shit!! Is the driver blind!! Hannah thought as she opened the car door and came out of the car. The owner of the car climbed down from the car and opened her eyes in shock as she saw Hannah. “Hannah!” She called in shock and Hannah stared at her with no expression on her face. It was Rosa, Jeff’s mom. Hannah scoffed, she wasn’t surprised it was her, she was already getting old and she was sure her eyesight must have gotten so bad that she didn’t see her car.“You fucking hit my car, are you blind?” Rosa yelled at once and Hannah chuckled “Rosa, you hit my car. I should be asking you that q
Chapter 29Why do you have so much belief in Brandon? You sound like you are his mother. Anyone who hears you speak about him would think you gave birth to him and know him very well” Hannah said and Arianna swallowed hard as she smiled nervously.“No Of course not. You should know me by now Hannah, I believe in everyone and I believe no matter how cold-hearted someone is, there’s always a good side to that person” Arianna said and Hannah nodded in response. “What about the kids?” Arianna asked “They’ve gone to school, “ Hannah said “So, what would you be doing now? You should not just sit at home” Arianna said “I know mom, I’m currently thinking of buying a company here in Atlanta and changing the name to mine and the kids, or I'll try to build up one” Hannah said “Have you thought about the company you want to buy and the name?” Arianna asked “No, I’m still thinking about it,” Hannah said and Arianna nodded in response. “Once you find the one you are interested in, just let
Chapter 30“Welcome sir,” A maid said with her head bowed. She heard a knock on the door and decided to go open it and to her surprise, she saw Brandon at the door. “Where’s she?” Brandon asked and the maid quickly understood who he was asking after. “She’s upstairs in her room” the maid and with that Brandon walked past her. He climbed upstairs to her room, pushed the door opened and walked in without knocking. Hannah, who was sitting on the chair in her room, staring at the laptop in front of her, jerked up immediately when she heard someone barge in. “You!!” She muttered as she put her hands on her chest, trying to calm herself down. “What did you think you were doing by barging into my room? Shit! You scared the hell outta me” Hannah said, as she exhaled deeply.“Point of correction, our room, not yours. I own this room” Brandon said and Hannah rolled her eyes at him, wondering what he was doing at the mansion and her room. “Why are you here?” Hannah asked “Won’t you offe
Chapter 31Brandon walked out of the house and hopped inside his car. Just as he was about to ignite his engine, he heard his phone ringing.It was a call from Liam. He answered the phone call. “Brandon, when did you leave the office, I have been searching for you,” Liam said, sounding so worried. “I went out, is anything the problem?” Brandon asked and Liam paused before speaking. “I think we’ve got a big problem at hand,” Liam said and Brandon became alerted immediately. “What’s wrong?” Brandon asked “I just got a call from your grandma,” Liam said and Brandon exhaled deeply.“Speaking of the devil herself, what does she want?” Brandon asked “She’s back in Atlanta,” Liam said and Brandon felt his heartbeat increase at once. “Shit! When did she arrive? I thought she said she wasn’t going to come back till further notice and why didn’t she call me instead of you?” Brandon asked, already getting angry. “I don’t know, she said she wanted to surprise you. She asked me not to tell
“Where are you guys?” Brandon asked and Jayden told him they were in a grocery store downtown.“I’ll be there in a jiffy, “ Brandon said and with that, he ended the call.A few minutes later A Black Roll Royce pulled in front of the grocery store. Brandon and Liam Alighted the car in a rush to the scene of the fight. A lot of people were surrounding the both of them taking pictures. “Shit!!” Brandon said as he made his way inside the scene, there he saw Hannah on top of a woman punching her like she was a punching bag. “Hannah!!” Brandon yelled and pulled Hannah away from the woman roughly, making Hannah fall to the ground. Brandon stared at the lady who was on the ground laying weakly, who was now bleeding on her face. He quickly recognized her. “Rhoda!” He called out surprised. Rhoda recognized the voice immediately.“Brandon”, Rhoda called out as she managed to open her swollen eyes. “Brandon please take me to the hospital, I’m in so much pain” Rhoda cried out and Brandon s
Chapter 33 A Black Roll Royce screeched to a halt in front of Colby’s mansion. Hannah and the octuplets alighted the car, they walked inside the house with no one speaking with each other. The kids knew Hannah was so angry, they didn’t want her to yell at them, so they didn’t say a word. They’d never seen their mommy this angry before and worst of all, she got into a fight with a strange lady. “Go upstairs to your room, your Nannies will come to attend to you,” Hannah said and was about to climb upstairs to her room when Jayden called her. She turned towards him and he stared at her for a few seconds before speaking. “Your arm is bleeding,” Jayden said and Hannah stared at her arm. It was just a small scratch from the fight. “I’ll go clean it up,” Hannah said and walked upstairs to her room. She closed the door to her room. She walked inside the bathroom and took a clean bath. She walked out of the bathroom and put on simple nightwear. She sighed softly as she lay on the bed
“What do you want?” Hannah asked angrily at him for taking sides with Rhoda at the grocery store earlier.“We need to talk,” Brandon said coldly and Hannah stared at him for a few seconds before standing up from the ground.“Go to sleep now, sweethearts. It’s late already. I love you all” Hannah said as she kissed them on their forehead. The kids nodded obediently and climbed into their bed, Hannah covered them with the duvet. “Good night Mommy, Good night Daddy,” the kids said at once. “Good night little armies” Brandon muttered and Hannah shot him a deadly glare. They both walked out of the room, and Hannah closed the door behind her. “Why did you call them little armies?” Hannah asked angrily “Why are you so pissed I called them little armies. Seems like they are fighters like their mom and I overheard them telling you, peace is for the weak, that’s why I called them little armies” Brandon said and scoffed. “What do you want to talk about?” Hannah asked “About that scene,
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
