“Get out of my way Brandon-““I’m sorry alright, I’m sorry. I get it, I was selfish and stupid wanting you to see your father when you do not want to. Although He told me he would sign with our company on my terms and he wanted me to talk to you but..”“And you accepted,” Hannah said in response, “I told him I would try, but that wasn’t the reason I bought the car. I paid for it a few weeks back, it just arrived today. I felt you needed to hear him out, he’s still your father no matter how you try to deny it. Sooner or later you would have to talk to him. He just wants to talk to you that’s all, but it’s your choice, I’m not forcing you to.Whatever you decide, I’ll support you” he said and she stared at him for a few seconds and then looked away. “Fine, I forgive you, just stop doing that eye thing you do all the time. Same thing the octuplets do all the time” she said trying to avoid his gaze and he smiled. “What eye thing?” He asked in a whisper as he moved closer to her leavi
“Alex, leave the kitchen, I and my wife want some privacy-““But sir….” “Alex, I said leave the kitchen-“ he said as he turned to Alex who had a fearful look on his face.“Brandon…” Hannah called and Brandon turned to her.“Yes honey,” he said but then paused when he saw the look on Hannah’s face, while she was staring at a particular place.“The chicken is on fire” Hannah yelled and Brandon turned swiftly only to see the pot of oil and chicken on fire.“Oh my God!” Brandon yelled as he ran to switch off the gas while Hannah quickly covered the pot thereby putting them off the fire.Alex quickly opened all the windows.Hannah and Brandon started coughing, as they walked out of the kitchen.They both stared at each other and burst into laughter and suddenly they both stopped laughing and stared at each other.Hannah sighed.“How can you forget the chicken was on fire, the house would have caught fire, “ Hannah said and Brandon shrugged.“I would have gotten a new one,” Brandon said an
“But I don’t have anywhere else to go?-““You can sleep on the street, we all know you belong there,” Arianna said and with that, she walked away. Lisa stared at her looking speechless. Guess I was wrong, she’s nothing like Hannah who is soft-hearted.Whatever! I’m not apologizing anymore. I don’t even know why I apologized In the first place when I did nothing, she thought, and then walked out of the house, going to the swimming pool area, to chill in the pool.Meanwhile, Jessica who had left the house is seen in a bar looking wasted when her worst nightmare suddenly approaches her. It was no other person than Jeff. He scoffed the moment he saw her. “Look who’s in the bar all alone and wasted. Where is your brother, or your gigolo husband, he’s not here to save you” Jeff said and Jessica stared at her and looked away.“I’m talking to you Jessica,” Jeff said as he frowned. He gripped her hand and she winced in pain. “Let go of me Jeff, let me go,” she said as he pulled her up an
Just then they heard a knock on the front door.“Alex, please get the door,” Arianna said and Alex nodded and rushed to the door. He opened the door only to see a strange guy carrying Jessica in her arms. “This is Colby's mansion right?” Humphery asked and Alex nodded. Arianna and Lucas stood up when they heard a male voice ask if this was Colby’s mansion.“Who’s at the door, Alex?” Arianna asked as they got to the door and to their surprise they saw a strange guy holding Jessica in his arms. Jessica was unconscious. “Oh my goodness! What happened to her?” Arianna asked as the look on her face changed at once. “She was drunk and I brought her home” Humphrey quickly explained leaving out the part where Jeff tried taking her away. Lucas stared at Humphrey and then carried Jessica from him. “Uhm, I’ll be on my way now,” Humphrey said but then paused when Arianna spoke. “What’s your name?” Arianna asked. “Humphrey, “ he said and Arianna nodded. “Thank you, Humphery,” Arianna said
“Come over here,” he said and then winked at her. Hannah blinked twice and her senses came back to normal.She then ran out of the bathroom. She felt her heart palpitating. “Calm down Hannah, calm down” she kept saying to herself as she kept reminiscing about what she had seen in the bathroom.She quickly put on her clothes and was about to walk out of the room when Brandon suddenly called her name and then she suddenly froze.She turned and then opened her eyes wide when she saw him standing by the bathroom door.He steps fully inside the room, water still dripping from his hair and skin. He's wrapped in a towel, which is cinched around his waist, leaving his broad shoulders and muscular arms exposed. His hair is mussed from the shower, and the water glistens on his skin, accentuating the contours of his body.She swallowed into nothing as she stared at him.How can someone be so handsome, hot, attractive, irresistible, sexy, and wealthy at the same time? Oh my goodness!!“Where
“Doing what I should have done long ago” he said as he placed her on the bed and suddenly came upon her. Oh my goodness, he’s going to have sex with me, she thought as she opened her eyes and then quickly closed it.Brandon chuckled and laid beside her staring at the ceiling, with a smile on his lips. Hannah never ceased to amaze him. When he thought he already knew everything about her, She came up with a new, different thing, he thought as he kept on smiling. Hannah on the other hand opened her eyes when she didn’t hear the sound of Brandon again. She wondered where she had gone.She turned and saw Brandon lying beside her. Brandon turned and their gaze interlocked. She quickly looked away and closed her eyes, making Brandon laugh. “Seriously?” He muttered as he chuckled while staring at Hannah’s beautiful face. Hannah opened her eyes and then saw Brandon staring at her. She felt her cheeks turn red immediately. “Has anyone told you how beautiful you are? You are uniquely bea
“You can drive your new car to the company today, it's yours,” he said and she stared at him for a few seconds and then took the keys. “Ride with me to the company,” she said and Brandon hummed and nodded in response.They both walked out of the house and went to the car. Hannah hopped inside the driver's seat while Brandon entered the passenger seat.Hannah stared at Brandon while they both put on the seat belt.Hannah ignited the engine and then zoomed off. Meanwhile, Hannah and Brandon are seen inside the car, while Hannah drives. A lot of cars behind her were blowing horns because she was too slow and was causing traffic.“Is this how you drive to work when you are by yourself?” Brandon asked and Hannah turned to him and then turned to the road. “What?” she asked. “You are too slow. You are driving 20 kilometers per hour, Hannah. The car is barely moving” he said and she sighed.“I'm trying not to be too fast. This is a new car Brandon and it should be handled with care” Hanna
“Fine, I will let you be. I won't chase after you anymore. You can do as you please and I promise I will stay away from you as you want-” “Yes, please do stay away from me” Hannah looked away from him and was about to walk away when he spoke, making her pause.“I hope you are ready for the war you just started” Brandon muttered with no expression on his face.“Yes, the battle line has been drawn “ Hannah glared at him for a few seconds and walked inside her office.Brandon on the other hand walked away angrily.The moment Hannah got to her office, she sat on the chair. She wondered what war Brandon was talking about.She sighed and then decided to work, throughout the time she was working,she kept thinking about Brandon.The thought of him filled her heart. Memories of how the house had almost caught fire because Brandon had forgotten he put the chicken in hot oil because of her, came running to her head.She could remember how she slept so peacefully on his chest last night and then
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
