“But he would listen to you,” he said and she stood up at once.“No, I’m not doing it. It’s not a nice idea and there’s zero percent chance he would even listen to me or believe me” Hannah said and Brandon let out. Sigh.“I know this might come as a surprise to you but Lucas cares about you. Trust me he would listen to you. Please, you are the only hope of helping my brother get out of this woman’s plan” Brandon said and Hannah paused for a few seconds before she finally responded.“Okay, fine, I will try,” she said and Brandon smiled at her. Just then they heard a knock on the door. Hannah opened the door and saw the maids holding the shopping bag she had left in the car. “Thank you “ Hannah muttered as she took the bags from them and took them in.Hannah took the bags in and placed them by the side of the bed. Just then Brandon heard his phone ring.He checked the caller’s ID and saw it was a call from the office. He ended the phone call and put it back in his pocket. “You shoul
Lucas walked out of the house, hopped in his car, and drove out of the compound.He had gone to a bar to cool off his head. He didn’t want to believe what Hannah and Brandon had told him.He doesn’t trust his brother, but he trusts Hannah and she would never lie to him. He sighed softly as the waiter brought the drink which he had ordered for.He took the glass and gulped down everything at once. Just then someone touched him from behind, he turned and saw Jules, Lisa’s best friend.He wondered what she was doing at the bar he was at, again. If she was following him.“Hey, Lucas,” Jules muttered as she sat beside him. He stared at her and looked away. She rolled her eyes and then ordered two glasses of drink, one for her and the other for Lucas.“What do you want, Jules?” Lucas asked as the waiter put the glass of drink in front of him.“Nothing, I just want to spend time with you,” she said and he raised his eyebrows wondering what she meant by she just wanted to spend time with hi
Lucas's car screeched to a halt in front of the mansion. He had alighted the car and entered the house looking furious and confused.He climbed upstairs to his room to see if Lisa was there but she wasn't. He wondered where she had gone too. He walked out of the room and then saw a maid and asked if she had seen Lisa and she said she was in the kitchen. He decided to check the kitchen. He climbed downstairs and walked towards the kitchen when he heard Hannah and Lisa conversing, much more like they were arguing. He walked towards the kitchen and stood by the door while he watched them exchange words.They hadn't seen him yet.“Lucas is the one who’s getting in my way, I just need to get rid of him completely and boom, Brandon and I will be back together again” she said and Hannah stared at her speechlessly.Lucas is easy to manipulate, everything would be under my control soon.He froze the moment he heard what she had said, Hannah was right, she was using him. He thought she love
“Did you say Mellisa is alive?” He asked again to be sure and she nodded. “She’s lying to you Brandon, we all know Mellisa is not alive,” Jessica said and Lisa shot her a deadly glare and then turned to Brandon.“I wouldn’t lie to you about my daughter Brandon. Our daughter, I can’t do that, she’s alive Brandon and I’m telling the truth” she said and Lucas scoffed.“Take her out,” Lucas says to the security.“No one would touch her,” Brandon said and the security men froze at once and moved back.Jessica stared at Brandon speechlessly.Lisa stared at Lucas and then at the security before moving closer to Brandon.“Ask them to bring my clothes in,” she said calmly. “No, you tell me where Mellisa is or I will be the one to throw you out myself,” he said with no emotion in his eyes and she let out a sigh and nodded. “When Mellisa was kidnapped, I found out who kidnapped her and they demanded a ransom. I paid for the ransom and asked them to tell you she was dead because I found out so
He tilted his head and suddenly smashed his lips on hers.He pulled away from the kiss and then opened the door for her. “You can go continue your cooking,” he said and she stared at him and quickly looked away as she felt her cheeks turn red. Hannah smiled as she went to the kitchen and prepared dinner. After which the family had dinner together, except Lucas who was at the wine cellar, drinking himself too stupid.Hannah had assisted the maids in clearing the table.She was about to walk out of the kitchen when Brandon walked towards her.“You look worried during dinner, what’s wrong?” He asked as they both walked out of the kitchen. “I’m worried about Lucas, he’s hurt,” Hannah said and Brandon sighed.“He’s going to be alright,” he said and Hannah nodded. Just then the front door opened revealing Lisa.“She’s back” Hannah muttered with an eye roll as she and Brandon moved towards her. “And where is the child?” Brandon asked and Lisa stared at the both of them and then turned to
“She asked you to stay away from me?” Hannah asked and Mellisa nodded and she hummed.“Where did you and your mommy live, Mellisa?” Hannah asked.“We stayed at……”“Melissa, it’s time for bed,” Lisa, who is seen climbing down the stairs, said , cutting off her speech. “But I’m hungry, you said once we arrive I would eat nice food here,” she said as she touched her stomach. “There’s food in the kitchen Melissa, I could get you some,” Hannah said and Lisa rolled her eyes. “No, I would get her food myself. Stay away from my child, Hannah, and stop interrogating her” Lisa said as she clenched her fist before pulling Mellisa away.She dragged her upstairs to the guest room and closed the door behind her then turned to Mellisa with a furious look on her face.“What? Don't give me that look. I did exactly as you asked me to, I’m hungry, can you please get me food, now” she said as she sat on the bed and let out a sigh.“I thought I told you to stay away from Hannah and not answer any quest
“I’m so sorry Lucas. I’m so sorry for what happened” she said and just then she pulled him into a warm hug.Just then she pulled away from the hug.“Come, I will take you to your room,” she said as she helped him out of the wine cellar and took him to his room.She helped him lie on the bed and covered him properly with the duvet. She glared at him for some seconds and was about to walk away when he held her hands.“Hey,” she muttered as she turned to him.“Could you please spend the night with me?” He said and Hannah furrowed her brows as she sat beside him.“I can’t Lucas, you have to rest,” she said and he opened his eyes and tried sitting up but Hannah held him.“You should be resting, Lucas, don’t move,” she said but he refused to lay down, he then sat on the bed.“Why didn’t you tell me in time that Lisa was lying to me?” Lucas asked.“I don’t know, maybe because you love her too much and you wouldn’t believe me,” she said as she paused while staring deep into her oceanic eyes.
This isn’t going to end well, Hannah thought.“Hello Jessica, what’s wrong? You look mad, even your hair looks mad, I hope you slept well” Lisa said and Jessica frowned.“No, I didn’t because there's been the smell of rats since you arrived at this house and it’s making me nauseous, you dirty chihuahua,” Jessica said and Hannah sighed. “And where is your gigolo, he's not with you this morning. Oh I’m shocked or is he tired of following you around like a pet” Lisa said and Jessica Clenched her fist.“He’s not a gigolo and I would remind you again, I’m married. Not everyone is a whore like you who sleeps around with men they make eye contact with” Jessica said and Lisa gritted her teeth.“There are kids here” Hannah muttered and they both composed themselves immediately.Mellisa stared at Jessica and then looked away with a look of fear on her face. Jessica was looking so scary at that moment and she could chop off Lisa’s head at that moment if she could.The octuplets stared at Meliss
It was morning and Hannah had woken up early. She woke up feeling energized and all.She had brought out her laptop and sent messages to all the members of the board except Brandon that there was going to be a Meeting today.After which she got dressed. She made sure she looked her best and dressed in a way Brandon would stare at her and would not be able to resist her looks.After which she hopped in her car, and zoomed off to the company. Her car came to a stop at the company, she walked straight to her office.A lot of people seemed to be surprised to see her, they probably thought she was there to hand over the position to Isabella Edward but they didn't know she was there to take over. She checked her time and saw it was time for the meeting. She took her laptop and some important files, after which she walked out of her office and locked the door to the office, taking the key with her so that no one would be able to get in. She walked to the board room and met everyone sitting
Hannah pulled away from the kiss and glared at his charming eyes. She glared at his wet plump lips from the kiss and then walked away from him. Brandon made to move towards her again but she shifted back. Just then Brandon heard his phone ring, he brought out his phone and checked his caller’s ID and then answered the phone call.“I'm on my way,” he said and ended the call and then glared at Hannah one more time before walking out of the room, closing the door behind him. She wondered who had called him. The thought of Isabella being the one who called him made her want to puke. She wondered where Isabella had come from, she was out of town the last time she checked and this was Linda’s plan all this while, Hannah scoffed and shook her head.She moved towards the door to see if it was locked from the outside but it wasn't. She opened the door and walked out of the room. She decided to go downstairs and drink water.She walked downstairs and to her greatest surprise she saw Linda in
Hannah had just gotten home from the event. She didn’t waste any time, instead, she walked straight to her room upstairs and brought out her clothes from the wardrobe.She brought out her luggage and started arranging her clothes in it and suddenly the door to the room opened and Brandon walked in.“You left like that, we were supposed to be in the event together,” he paused when he saw luggage on the bed.“What’s going on here?” Brandon asked in deep shock as he glared at Hannah who was packing her clothes.Hannah raised her head, glared at him, and looked away, proceeding with what she was doing without saying a word.“You are leaving?” Brandon asked and Hannah still didn’t say a word.“I’m talking to you, are you leaving?” He asked again, probably not believing what was happening right in front of him.“I’m no longer needed in the company Brandon, you kicked me out and made your ex-girlfriend the new COO. What do you need me for?” Hannah asked as she raised her head and glared at h
“What?” Hannah opened her mouth wide in shock at what Brandon had said. He was publicly asking her to step down as the COO because he knew if he asked her in private she would not and doing it in public in front of everyone would leave her no choice but to step down. Hannah glared back at the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Linda at the coroner of the hall with an evil smirk on her face. She knew this was all Linda’s doings. She wondered what she had told Brandon that made him want her to step down.Hannah who was already pissed tried moving away from the stage but the Brandon tightened his grip on her wrist and held her from moving, while he kept smiling.“I know you all are wondering who the new COO would be. Well, she’s someone you all know, my long-time friend and a family too, Isabella Edward ....” Brandon muttered and Isabella stepped on the stage with a broad smile on her face. Hannah opened her eyes wide in shock, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “What the hell is g
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
