Chapter 21Family is everything”, he muttered lowly, memories of his mom coming into his head.He sighed softly. He needed to find his mom, there were lots of questions that needed to be answered, and only his mom could answer them. His mom had left without a goodbye, he wondered why she had left him just like that, he needed to know the reason why she left him. That’s why he needs to make sure Hannah starts living with him. The earlier they stay together as a couple, the quicker he finds his mom. He thought. He stared at his phone and dialed Hannah’s number. It rang for some seconds before Hannah finally answered the phone call. “What do you want?” Hannah's voice echoed from the phone. “I’m not giving you any fucking time. I’m giving you just today to tell your kids about it or I’m not going to help your company” Brandon said in a cold voice. “What? Are you threatening me?” Hannah asked as she felt angrier. “Don’t take my words for granted Mrs. Mackenzie, I mean every bit of w
Chapter 22“Any news about my ex-wife?” Jeff asked, he had asked his private investigator to find out everything about Hannah and where she lives. “No, nothing yet. I would love to get some information from you about the last few places you met her” The private investigator said Jeff sighed softly then told him where he had met her and ended the call. He wondered why it was difficult finding Hannah. He has given him the job for some days now and he’s found nothing. His private investigator has never failed him, whatever he had asked him to do in the past, he has always delivered.Why does it feel like someone is protecting Hannah and she might be using a new identity that’s why it’s difficult to find her, but anyways he was going to find her. He won’t stop till he finds her.Just then Jeff's door burst open again revealing Rosa. “Mom” Jeff called out as Rosa walked inside the room. “Jeff, you seriously not gonna look for Rhoda? You throw her out of the house with nothing and you e
Chapter 24“It was an order from master Brandon, he asked us to bring your things to his room and this would be your room too,” the maid said and Hannah frowned.“What the Fvck!!! How dare he? It's a contract marriage. Why would he request they stay in the same room?” Hannah thought as she excused herself from the room. She brought out her phone and searched for the number Brandon had used in calling her the other day. She dialed the number and immediately the phone call was answered and a thick voice echoed from the phone.“What do you want?” Brandon asked coldly and Hannah scoffed and went straight to the point. “Why would you ask your maids to put my things in your room?” Hannah asked angrily. Brandon paused before he spoke, “Didn't you read the contract before signing it? It was all stated there and you signed it” Brandon said and Hannah bit her lips angrily. She hadn't read the contract before signing it, she was in a hurry that day. she wondered what else must have been writt
Chapter 23A Black car screeched to a halt in front of BRC.co. Liam alighted the car and walked inside the company. He entered the elevator that was going to the last flooor. After which he entered Brandon’s office and met him going through some files. “How’s she?” Brandon said as he raised his head and stared at Liam. “She’s okay and comfortable. You don’t need to worry about anything. I’ll make sure she gets everything she wants” Liam said and Brandon nodded in response, looking back into the papers that were on his table. “Brandon!” Liam called out and Brandon hummed , his eyes still on the file.“I know things haven’t been cool since that incident had happened years ago but now we have found her, can you please forgive me for what I did in the past so things can go back to being best friends again?” Liam asked and Brandon raised his head and stared at him for some seconds. He closed the file on his table and stood up fr the chair, he swelled towards Liam and did the un expect
Chapter 25“Mommy is here” the kids screamed at once, as they rushed towards Hannah’s car. Hannah alighted the car and the octuplets rushed towards her and hugged her. “Oh, sweethearts,” Hannah said as she felt her heart leap up in joy. Seeing her kids being happy was the only thing giving her so much joy in this world. Without them, her world would be incomplete. “Mommy, why didn’t you come to pick us up in time?” Allison asked as they all pulled away from the hug. “I’m sorry honey, I was extremely tired. I had been arranging your room in our new home” Hannah said with a smile on her face. “Really? Mommy?” Jayden asked and Hannah nodded slightly. “Oh my goodness! Let’s go home mommy, I can’t wait to see our new house and room” the kids said at once, as they rushed inside the car, making Hannah smile. Hannah entered the car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off.The car came to a halt in front of Colby’s mansion. The children alighted the car and ran inside the mansion. “Carefu
Chapter 26“Get someone else to do whatever you are thinking about. I don’t have time for that” Brandon said rudely and with that, he ended the call.Hannah sighed softly and dropped the phone on the bed. She rolled her eyes and hissed slightly. She just hates Brandon so much that she feels like punching him in the face. “Mommy” she heard her kids call outside her room. She stood up from the bed and walked towards the door, she opened it and the kids walked in with their Nannies behind them. “Wow, mommy your room is so beautiful, “ the kids said and Hannah smiled at them. “Ma’am, dinner is served,” one of the nannies said and Hannah nodded with a smile on her face. “Common kids, let’s go downstairs for dinner,” Hannah said and the kids yelled happily as they ran downstairs to eat dinner.After they were done eating dinner, the kids sat in the sitting room while Hannah helped them finish their assignments.Just then they heard a knock on the door. Hannah raised her head and saw th
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
Meanwhile, it was evening and the whole house was now calm. Jessica left the house angrily as she didn't want to set her eyes on Linda again. She wasn't planning on returning home anytime soon.The octuplets were back from school and were playing around. Arianna had gone to spend some time with Micheal.Hannah and Brandon had just returned from the office. They spent some time with the kids, made sure they had dinner, and after which they had gone to their room.After the kids left the dining room, Hannah and Brandon are seen at the dining room discussing. “Do you think you would be able to manage your dad’s company?” Brandon asked as he drank from the glass of water on the table. Hannah’s father had passed his company to Hannah before he died. He had written it in his will.“Yeah, But we are going to be linking both companies together, I think it would be easier to operate that way” Hannah muttered, Nranfon nodded and then beckoned for her to come to sit on his leg and she did.“I'
“Where’s that useless woman called Linda, where is she?” She yelled as she walked inside the house. “Jessica, what’s come over yo…-.” Lucas's speech was interrupted with a dirty slap on his face. Jessica had slapped him.Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock. “What was that for?” He asked, still in shock, at what had happened.“You psychotic liar!” She yelled and threw the pictures at him and then turned to Hannah.“Where’s Linda?” She asked.“She’s outside, I think” Hannah muttered and Jessica bounced out of the house angrily to go find Linda.Hannah stared at Lucas, whose face was red from the slap. He placed his hands on his cheeks while he held the picture in his hands, staring at it.Hannah picked up one of the pictures from the ground and stared at it and then turned to Lucas.Brandon, who had just witnessed what happened, walked towards Hannah and stared at the picture. He was surprised. “You’ve been seeing Mom for a long time now?” He asked as he raised his head and sta
There were different pictures of Humphery and Linda together from when he was a baby to his teenage years. But then she paused and opened her eyes wide with the next picture she saw. “Oh my goodness!” She muttered the moment she picked up the picture. It was a picture of Lucas Linda and Humphrey together.She checked the date on the picture, it was a picture from just last month. She took another picture of them and stared at the date, it was from the last three weeks.“Lucas knew all this while, he knew about her, he knew about Humphery too when he came to our house but then pretended to hate him. He knew everything”, Jessica thought as she put the pictures in her bag. She felt so hurt that Lucas had lied to them. She walked out of the room and saw Humphery was still in the kitchen.“Uhm, I’ll be on my way now, humphrey” Jessica muttered and then walked out of the house. She hopped inside her car and zoomed off.Before Humphery could run out of the kitchen to say a proper goodbye
Jessica and Linda are seen together doing their pedicure and manicure in a room at the mansion, while they both sip the glass of alcohol in a glass beside them.Jessica stared at her mom and then looked away.“Gently” she said to the maid, cutting her nails.“So, where have you been all these years?” Jessica turned to Linda smiled.“You know have been on my own with Humphery, traveling around, going to Europe, Christmas in Miami, new year in Malaysia”“How about the capital of Canberra?” Jessica asked and kindly smiled.“Well, I haven’t been there recently”.“Too bad,” Jessica responded.“Why don’t you ask me what you’d like to ask me? Instead of plying me with alcohol to loosen my tongue. You know I know these tricks already, you got it from me.If there’s something you want to know, I have nothing to hide” Linda said and Jessica scoffed. Thank God, she just needed to go straight to the point.She then asked the maids to leave as they needed some privacy.“Why now?” She asked.“What
Meanwhile, it was morning and Hannah had woken up early to prepare breakfast for the kids and got them dressed for school, after which, the chauffeur took them to school.She then assisted the maid in setting breakfast for the entire family. After which, everyone started coming downstairs one after the other. Everyone was sitting in the dining area except Jessica, Brandon, and Linda.“Where’s Jessica and Brandon?” Lucas asked as he sat down. “Brandon is in his study room, Jessica must be in her room” Hannah muttered and Lucas nodded.Just then they saw Linda climbing down the stairs. She was putting on a short translucent nightwear. Arianna rolled her eyes the moment she saw her. “Good morning” Hannah greeted and Linda glared at her and looked away without responding. Hannah shook her head.“Lisa, Good morning, how was your night?“ Linda asked as she moved towards Lisa and Lisa stood up and hugged her.“My night was fine. How was yours? I hope you like it in your room?” Lisa asked
“Honey, you could if you want to but do it in an open place because I do not trust her, she might kidnap you at any given chance, no offense,” Arianna said Hannah turned to her and she shrugged. Jessica nodded and stood up before going upstairs to her room.Meanwhile, Hannah turned to Arianna.“Seems like the both of you do not like each other…” Hannah muttered and Arianna rolled her eyes.“She’s a bitc*. Truth is when I first came into the Colby house, I came in as a nanny for the kids.Linda and Thomas had just split, did you know she threatened me? She would send people after me thinking I was the reason her husband divorced her” Arianna muttered with an eye roll.“Were you?” Hannah asked.“What? No. I was only working there at that time. Thomas and I only became a thing 6 months after Linda left” Arianna muttered and Hannah nodded and sighed.“I don’t want her in this house. I wish I could kick her out” she muttered and Hannah turned to her.“Mom, give them a chance to get to kno
The moment they got upstairs, he met Lisa standing by the stair rails. He wondered how long she'd been there and if she'd been watching the whole drama take place.“Hello, welcome Ma'am. It's an honor to meet the woman who gave birth to Lucas'' Lisa said as she moved towards Linda and hugged her.Linda was surprised, this was the only person who had welcomed her into the house fully. She wondered who Lisa was.“Thank you sweetheart” Linda muttered and kissed her on her cheeks.“Come on Mom, I need to show you your room,” Lucas said and walked away. Linda smiled at Lisa before walking away.“Who is she? “ Linda asked.“Not someone you should know…” Lucas said as he opened the door to the room and they walked in.“I think I like her, she's so welcoming and nice. She's the only person who has welcomed me here” Linda muttered as she entered the room and then sat on the bed.Lucas turned to her.“I thought I told you not to come to the mansion until I talk to Brandon…”“I couldn't wait, Ca
A week laterMeanwhile, Daniel’s funeral was done and he was buried.Everyone had just returned home from the funeral and was already tired. They decided to eat some food as they were hungry.“I'll set the table, you all can go change your clothes,” Arianna said and they all went upstairs including the kids to change their clothes but Hannah hadn't left, instead she stayed with Arianna as she decided to help her. It's been a week since Daniel died, it's been hard for Hannah and Arianna but with the help of family surrounding them, they were able to push through and not think so much about it. “Hannah, could you pass me the knife?” Arianna asked and Hannah passed her the knife. Just then they both heard a knock on the door.“I'll go get the door…”“No, it's fine, I'll go get it,” Hannah said, cutting off Arianna’s speech and then went to open the door.The moment she opened the door, she saw a woman with red curly hair, with a smile on her face and huge luggage, beside her.“Who are
Meanwhile, Brandon who is seen lying on the bed with Hannah who has her head on his chest heard his phone ring. It was a call from the DPO, he quickly answered the phone call. He heaved a sigh of relief Jeff had been caught, now he would pay for everything by being in jail and justice would be served.“Thank you DPO, I'm on my way,” he said and ended the call. He stared at Hannah who was asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, so he gently removed her head from his chest and helped her lye on the bed.He covered her properly with the duvet and walked out of the room.The moment he walked out, he climbed downstairs and walked outside the house, after which he entered his car and drove off to the police station.The moment he got to the station, he alighted his car and walked inside the station. He went to the DPO’s office. They discussed and the DPO made a call and asked for Jeff to be brought in. A few minutes later Jeff was brought in.Brandon stood up the moment he saw Jeff who was
