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
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
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
