I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt, I’ll be outside” she said and quickly walked out of the room closing the door behind her.“Oh my goodness!” Hannah muttered with a surprised look on her face. She never expected to see the both of them together this way although she knew Micheal had feelings for Arianna. She could see it in his eyes whenever he stared at Arianna..She smiled and went downstairs to the kids who were still eating.“Mom, where’s grandma?” The kids who were almost done asked. “Uhm, she’s still sleeping, I would be taking you guys to school myself…”“There would be no need for that. I would be taking them to school myself” They heard Arianna’s voice and turned to see her climbing down the stairs. She was putting on a white long robe.“Grandma good morning” the kids greeted and Arianna smiled at them.“Hey Mom,” Hannah said.“Hey,” she muttered and Hannah smiled at her.“I just need to change my clothes, I’ll be back in a bit, but first, can I talk to you, Hannah?” A
“Oh no!” Hannah muttered as she felt something hard and big touching her from below.She felt her heartbeat increase at once. “Brandon” she called as she swallowed into nothing with a nervous look on her face. “Are you scared of it? You would like you, I promise” he said calmly, more like a whisper into her ears.“You pervert” she yelled with her cheeks turning red and her breath becoming erratic. She felt like her heart was about to pull out of her chest at that moment in time.Brandon stared at her and then smiled before pulling away from her.“You should get dressed. We will be meeting up with Mr. Daniel by noon today, he rescheduled because he won’t be available this morning. The contract has been drawn out” he said as he gave Hannah one last glance and winked at her before walking away.Hannah heaved a sigh of relief the moment he walked out of the room.She felt like disappearing a few minutes ago. She smiled as she recalled when his manhood touched her below. She quickly sh
He pauses and got down on one knee. He looked into her eyes and said, "I love you, and I want you to be my woman" he said and Arianna stared at him for a few seconds without saying a word.Micheal felt his heart beating fast as there was no response from her. He felt she was going to reject his proposal.He had always loved Arianna but he never dared to and last night he had the courage to and he kissed her and she kissed him back and that led them to the bed.He wants to assure her he would never play with her feelings, he would always stand by her and that last night meant everything to him. He blinked twice when she moved back, staring at him with no expression on her face. Maybe I was wrong, she doesn’t feel the same way I fe, Micheal thought as he felt his heart break into pieces.“I could give you time to think about it,” he said.“No, I don’t need time. I love you too Micheal, I just…..”“You love me then say yes,” he said, cutting off her speech and Arianna sighed and nodded
“Dad!” Hannah managed to say.“H…Hannah” Daniel called as he felt his heartbeat increase. He tried moving towards Hannah but then she moved back.“Don’t you dare come close to me” Hannah said as tears gathered in her eyes, with her mouth shivering.She then turned to Brandon who was staring at the both of them looking confused.“Did you know he was here?” Hannah asked and Brandon stared at him looking confused.“What are you talking about?” Brandon asked but then Hannah looked away from him and then turned to Daniel.She shook her head as she stared at him with pure hatred and disappointment in her eyes.She then walked out of the room and then went to Brandon’s car outside the hotel.Brandon stared at Daniel who was looking devastated.“Sir, are you okay?” His assistant asked and he nodded.“Okay now, I’m confused, what the hell is going on here?” Brandon asked.“That was my daughter, Hannah Rodriguez, “ Mr Daniel said and Brandon paused for a second.“What?” He muttered with a surpr
“What are you doing here Lisa? You should leave “ Hannah said as she frowned and Lisa scoffed and turned to her.“I didn’t know tough women cry,” she said and Hannah rolled her eyes and sat up probably on the bed. “And who the hell told you I was crying?” She asked with a straight face on and Lisa chucked and sat on the couch.“What do you want Lisa? What are you doing here?” Hannah asked and Lisa sighed softly ignoring her question.“I didn’t believe it when Dolly Parton said *tough women don’t cry but I found out they do more often* now I believe it” She paused and then took a deep breath. “It’s okay to cry. No matter how strong and tough you are as a woman, sometimes you have to break down.We are human beings and not robots. We all have feelings. toughness doesn't mean you can't show your emotions. A tough woman can cry, but she doesn't let her emotions get in the way of what she needs to do. She may feel sadness or pain, but she channels those feelings into her strength and r
Meanwhile, Brandon who had rushed back to the company entered his office, and to his greatest surprise, he saw Mr Daniel.“Mr Daniel” Brandon muttered surprised as he saw him and his PA.“I know this is random, but I’m willing to sign the contract with you on your terms and give you whatever you want, I just need a favor in return,” he said and Brandon hummed.“Let me guess, you want to speak with Hannah,” he said and Daniel nodded. “I can’t force her to talk to you, it’s going to be her choice, not mine,” he said as he stared at Mr Daniel with pity in his eyes. “Please, I beg you, Mr Colby, please” he begged and then Brandon sighed but then on second thought he decided to agree since they would become business partners on his condition. “Fine, I’ll see what I can do. I will call you “ he said and Mr Daniel nodded and then walked out of Brandon’s office with his assistant trailing behind him.The moment they walked out, Liam walked in.“I thought you guys were supposed to meet in a
He’s not my father, my father is dead to me” she said as she gave him back the car key and then walked back inside the house angrily. Brandon sighed softly and was about to walk inside the house when Arianna’s car drove inside the compound.The octuplets who had seen Brandon from inside the car, rushed out of the car and ran toward him. “Daddy” They called and all hugged him at once. “Sweethearts” Brandon smiled as he ruffled their hairs one after the other and they all giggled. “Hey mom” Brandon muttered to Arianna who was now standing in front of him.“Brandon, did you buy a new car?” Arianna asked and Brandon nodded with a weird look on his face. “Oh, Uhm kids, go to your room now. I’ll call you guys for dinner shortly” Arianna said and the kids nodded and ran inside the house happily.“What’s wrong? And why is there a new car here?” Arianna asked the moment the kids left.“I bought the car for Hannah but she rejected it because she thinks I bought it for her to convince her t
“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
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
