Chapter 170The moment Hannah walked out of the study room, she saw Arianna about to walk in. “What's wrong? I heard the sound of broken glasses, is he alright? Are you okay?” Arianna asked and Hannah sighed softly. “I don't know if he's okay, he looks furious, he says his father is back and is the one behind all this, I really don't know,” Hannah said and Arianna walked past her and entered the study room. There she met Brandon, staring into nothing, he looked so lost in thoughts.“I said I wanna be alone, Hannah,” he said as he noticed someone had walked inside the study room.“Honey, it's me, it's your mom,” Arianna said and Brandon raised his head and glanced at her. “Hannah told me, you think it's him!” Arianna asked and Brandon nodded in response. “It's fine honey, everything is going to be alright,” Arianna said trying to console his son who was looking more than angry. “No, it's not gonna be alright. Nothing is gonna be fine. He's a monster, a self-serving asshole. You do
Chapter 171Hannah had helped the kids arrange their clothes and some of their toys and put them in the car. Arianna had asked Hannah to stay at home while she went to drop them off at Sandra’s place because she knows how much Hannah is attached to her kids and she wouldn't be able to leave them. The moment Arianna left with the kids, Hannah walked inside the house, where she met Matthew and Jessica talking. She walked past them and went to her room, she closed the door behind her and laid on the bed tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind. Suddenly, she drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, a male figure is seen sitting in a large hotel room, smoking Indian hemp while watching the TV. It was no other person but Wilson Colby. He sighed softly as he watched the news of Arianna being released from prison. He was the one who had paid a woman to testify against Arianna, but now his plan has been ruined because of his son, Brandon.He frowned as he puffed out smoke from his mouth. He
Chapter 172“Common Isabella, his mom got arrested today, I’m sure he will be so busy trying to fix the reason she was arrested. This is a murder case.I promise I will talk to him about the marriage, and trust me, he won’t say no. You just have to keep doing your part and keep showing him how much you love him” Edward said to his daughter who had a sad look on her face.She sighed and nodded in response before walking away. Edward stared at his little princess as she walked away, she reminded him so much of his wife, Mirabel. Isabella is the copy and paste of her mother. He had sworn to make her happy, so he would do anything in his power to make sure Isabella and Brandon get married.It was evening, and Hannah had just woken up. She realized she had been sleeping for a long time and she hadn’t even heard from her kids. She missed her kids already. She brought out her phone and called them on video call. The kids were happy to see her face and they miss her already. Just then th
Chapter 173Brandon stared at him confused and then turned to Hannah. “What dress?” he asked “Oh, she didn’t tell you about the dress she saw in her bedroom, I’m sure she thought you got it for her.Well, I did and then asked someone to drop it off at her bedroom,” Wilson said and Hannah opened her mouth and tried speaking but she just couldn’t utter any word at that moment.She felt speechless at what this man had done, didn’t he have any shame at all?, she thought, staring at him.Brandon tightened his fist while staring at the man in front of him.“You have a good eye when it comes to women. You are just like me, his father’s son. Damn! Your wife is so pretty. She’s just like your mom, Camilla….” Wilson paused and turned around scrutinizing the wholehouse.“Speaking of Camilla, where is she? I heard she changed her name to Arianna Mackenzie or whatever. Oh, she went to Sandra’s house to drop off the kids. Damn, Brandon has anyone ever told you, those octuplets are so cute” Wils
“You can do nothing. You touch a hair on anyone’s head in this family, you're gonna regret the day you became my father” Brandon said and Wilson laughed. “I already regret being your father, you coward. Because you are a bastard. I’m sure your mother regrets the day she gave birth to you. She wished you had died…” Wilson said as he stared at Brandon who was looking so furious and just then Brandon punched him on his face.Wilson laughed and touched the face he had just punched him on.“Yes, go on, get angry like the coward that you are” he yelled, and then Arianna gave him a dirty slap on his face.“You are a coward, you do not deserve to be called a father, you sick asshole,” she said and he glanced at her with no expression on his face.“I’m gonna sure kill you, Camilla, you don’t know who you are messing with, you would regret hitting me. And as for you Brandon, just so you know, I’m still the chairman of the board, I can easily sack you and your pretty COO from the company, whic
“Follow the cars now!” Stone yelled on the phone and they both entered the car, switched on the ignition and followed the four black jeeps at once.The moment they followed the four black jeeps, two black jeeps drove out of the compound, The octuplets Sandra and some bodyguards were in both cars. They knew they were being watched, and that a car was parked outside the compound, they had to distract them so they could leave without anyone noticing. Meanwhile, John and Steven who had followed the four black jeeps noticed the cars suddenly parked in front of the hotel and different men in suits climbed down from the car and walked inside the hotel. It was then it dawned on them that the octuplets weren't in the car, they were being distracted. “Fuck Shit!!!” they muttered at once. They decided to go back to the house and check if the octuplets were still there.They turned back and drove back to the mansion, they burst the gate and entered the house, the octuplets nor Sandra were t
“Assemble all the maids, the chauffeur, the gardener, and everyone that works at this house,” Brandon said to Alex who nodded in response before rushing to call all the workers. It wasn’t long before all the workers had assembled. They were a total of 20 in numbers. “What are you trying to do?” Micheal asked.“I think one of them is acting as a spy for my father,” Brandon said in response and then moved toward them and stood in front of them. “I’m going to ask you guys a few questions and I want the truth, or else I’m going to punish you all for it, and you would all lose your jobs,” Brandon said and they all nodded with their heads bowed while shivering. They were all scared for their life. “Who is giving my father information about everything that is going on in this house?” Brandon asked and they all kept quiet. Brandon stared at them for a few seconds waiting for them to speak but they didn’t. He wasn’t expecting them to speak either. He hates what he is about to do now.“Mrs
“No! No! No!!, you can’t turn yourself over to him. You won’t do that. I have got this all figured out, I just need a little more time” Brandon said as he brought out his phone and quickly dialed Liam’s number.He walked away from Hannah and Arianna immediately Liam answered the phone call.“What did you find Liam? I hope it’s something that can help stop him” Brandon said and he heard Liam sigh.“You won’t believe what I found, Brandon” Liam said and he raised his eyebrows wondering what he had found.“Your father has another family in Mexico. He has a wife, two daughters, and a little boy” Liam said and Brandon became numb at what he just heard. His father left them only to start a family in another place, he thought, and just then he saw Jessica climbing down the stairs with Matthew beside her. He wondered how she would feel when she found out their father had another family elsewhere.“Are you there, Brandon?” Liam asked when he didn’t hear any more sound.“Yeah, of course I am
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
