“Yes,” Brandon said as he shut his eyes. “Oh my goodness! Is it because of the food you ate?” Hannah asked, looking so worried not knowing what to do. “The food was too spicy” Brandon managed to speak out.“No one forced you to eat the food, you could have just rejected it when you first tasted it, but still you continued eating it, even when you knew you had a weak stomach,” Hannah said and Brandon opened his eyes and frowned. “I'm dying and you are arguing with me?” Brandon said and Hannah quickly rushed to her wardrobe to get a drug she'd bought for herself some time ago. It was a painkiller. She believes it would stop the pain, if it doesn't, she doesn't know what else to do.“Here, you should have this, it’s going to quench the pain,” Hannah said as she poured out a glass of water and then gave two pills to Brandon. He quickly took the pills and drank the water. Brandon rested his back against the couch and closed his eyes.“The pain will go away soon,” Hannah said as she wen
She opened the door and walked inside the room. Now she’s back in the room, she didn’t want anyone to think she was running away from Brandon. She stared at the man who was asleep on the bed, she sighed and went to sit on the couch, and she leaned her back against the couch.The couch was a small one and she felt so uncomfortable on it, she just didn’t have any choice but to sleep on it. She can’t imagine herself sleeping on the same bed with Brandon.She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, Arianna and Jessica had gone to their various rooms. Arianna had entered her room and removed her shoes.She looked so tired. She had gone with Jessica to see Elizabeth today. Even though Elizabeth is still in the sick bed, she still lies. Bitch, she thought and just then she heard her phone ring, it was a call from Micheal.“Did you find anything?” She asked the moment she answered the phone call. “No, not yet. I have been following him for days now and he doesn’t have much going on,
It was Morning and Hannah had woken up feeling tired. She opened her eyes slightly and yawned. She cleaned her eyes with her thumb and then opened it fully. She sat up properly on the bed, stretched her body tiredly and tried standing up when she noticed she was on the bed. She stared at the couch and then at the bed. She had slept on the couch last night and then she woke up only to find herself on the bed. She blinked twice and then stared around the room, Brandon was nowhere in the room. She wondered where he had gone, he was the one who slept on the bed. How come she was now the one on the bed, she thought and then paused for a few seconds before checking her dress if they were still intact. Luckily, they were. She didn’t trust Brandon, so she checked her panties and they were still intact. She gave out a breath of relief but then her facial expression changed when she thought Brandon must have seen her sleeping face and must have seen her drooling. “Oh my Goodness!” She mut
Chapter 158Brandon turned and saw Hannah who stared at him and walked past him to the underground parking lots.She searched for the files in her car, but unfortunately, it wasn’t there. She sighed softly and then closed the car door and to her surprise she saw Brandon standing by her car.“What do you want?” Hannah asked as she closed the car door.“I thought I told you, you would be stepping down,” Brandon asked with a frown on his face and Hannah scoffed. “Yeah, so you could ask your girlfriend to come take my position,” Hannah said as she stared Brandon straight in the eyes,“What are you talking about?” Brandon asked “Oh please stop the pretense. Everyone knows that you and Isabella are both dating. There's no need to hide it from me. The both of you look cute together and would make a great couple” Hannah said and was about to walk away when Brandon blocked her way.He stared at Hannah and smiled while he seductively squinted his eyes. Hannah rolled her eyes.“Get out of my
Meanwhile, Jessica is seen climbing down the stairs putting on a red gown and heels, with her handbag in her hands.She looked so beautiful, she walked out of the house and hopped inside her car. She opened the car door and walked inside the car. She ignited the engine and drove off. Her car came to a stop in front of Matthew’s rented apartment. She walked inside the house, and down the hallway. She took a deep breath the moment she got in front of his door and then planted a soft knock on it. The door was opened by a fine young man who was putting on just a short. Jessica smiled the moment she saw Matthew. “Hey, “ Jessica muttered and Matthew sighed. “What are you doing here, Jessica?” Matthew asked “Won’t you invite me in?” Jessica asked while smiling and Matthew stared at her for a few seconds before opening the door wide and invited her in. She smiled as she entered the room, she scrutinized the whole room, which looked so small, and then turned to Matthew who had now picked
“Get out of my way Brandon” she muttered as she stared at the man in front of her.“Was that necessary? Asking Mrs Cranston how she feels?” Brandon asked “Of course it was. I don’t work with backstabbers. It’s high time women start supporting women,” Hannah said and Brandon smiled. “You are not just beautiful, you are so smart and intelligent” He muttered and then touched her petite face as he stared at her with love in his eyes. Hannah felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she gazed at those alluring eyes of his. She felt a strange feeling running through her veins. She swallowed into nothing. Suddenly, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her slowly and passionately. At first, Hannah tried to push him away, but she stopped and closed her eyes as she let whatever she was feeling at that moment wash through her. But in a moment, she felt her brain rest in a second. This was the same man that Isabella had brought food for and also kissed him on his cheeks and then she caught
“You went through all that trouble just to get me footage of when Isabella had arrived in your office, it wasn’t necessary “ Hannah said and Brandon sighed. Hannah had just lied, she didn’t know why she felt relieved that she was wrong and Brandon didn’t kiss her. She felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.“Hannah, I know I can be a dick sometimes but trust me I would do anything for you and I would never do anything that would hurt you,” Brandon said and Hannah hummed.“Okay then, sign the divorce papers” HannahSaid and Brandon frowned.“I would do anything for you but I will never let go of you. It would be the last thing I would do here on earth” Brandon said and just then a text message popped up in his phone. “Mr Harper is waiting already,” he said and then ignited the engine and drove off. Hannah on the other hand turned and looked outside the window, she felt her cheeks turn red as she remembered what Brandon had said. He would do anything for her, she smil
“You are not family, neither are you, my brother. Whoever told you that shit is spreading rumors, you should go find who your father is” Brandon said and Jeff scoffed.“Oh common, even your grandma, our grandma Elizabeth confirmed it too, we are brothers,” he said and then burst into laughter. “And then you believe what she told you? I have known my grandma for years and trust me when I say whatever she says is a lie, you should ask your mom to tell you the truth. And try to make your life useful, else you gonna end up in jail for the second time” Brandon said and turned to Hannah who hadn’t said a word. “Are you alright?” Brandon asked and she nodded. “She’s still going to leave you for someone else, she’s a whore” Jeff said and Brandon turned swiftly and punched him in his mouth making him spit blood. And then kicked him in his stomach. “That’s my wife you are talking to, MY WIFE,” he said and punched him again in his mouth. He was about to hit him again when Hannah held him.
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
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
