Chapter 204It was morning and Hannah had woken up so early so she could get the kids ready for school and go to the company. She took her bath and did her normal morning routine before going downstairs to prepare breakfast. After she was done, she went to her kid's room. Woke them up and helped them get dressed for school. After which they went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, Hannah asked the chauffeur to drop them off at school and promised to come pick them up herself when it was closing time. She stood outside and waved them as the chauffeur drove up. She walked back inside the house and walked towards the dining table. She needed to finish her cup of coffee before going upstairs to get dressed for work. She took a sip from her coffee and then turned when she heard someone climbing down the stairs. She thought it was Brandon but when she saw it was Jessica she sighed. “Hey,” she muttered as Jessica walked towards her and sat on the chair.“Hey,” she said calmly i
Chapter 205He sighed deeply and carried her in his arms ignoring her tantrums. He carried her upstairs to her room and placed her on the bed. “Next time, you should watch where you are heading, stop being clumsy” he said and she rolled her eyes. “You should rest and not come to the company, I would go see the client myself,” he said in the calmest and sweetest tone ever. Hannah became silent as she didn’t say a word. He stared at her waiting for her to say something, probably anything but she didn’t. He then decided to leave but just as he was about to leave, Hannah called him, making him pause. “Brandon” she called and he turned to her.“How are you feeling? Does your stomach hurt? Where did you sleep last night? I came to check on you in your study room last night but you weren’t there” Hannah said and he glanced at her for a few seconds before he finally spoke. “I’m okay, at least I’m better than last night,” he said, ignoring the other questions she asked. “I’ll be on my
Chapter 206The moment Hannah got home, she and the kids alighted the car and walked inside the house. “Go to your room, I need to prepare dinner,” she said to the kids who nodded and went to their room. She sighed, as the thought of Rosa apologizing to her came into her head. Rosa would never apologize to her no matter what, she was shocked at the same time, and she wondered what came over her. And how could she expect her to forgive her after everything she’s done, never, she thought angrily.And just then the sound of the front door opening jolted her out of her thoughts. She turned and to her surprise, she saw a strange man walk into the house.It wasn’t just any strange man, it was the man from the grocery store who had been stalking her.“You! What are you doing here? Are you following me?” She yelled and the strange man smiled.“Hey calm down pretty, I mean no harm,” he said in a calm tone scrutinizing the whole house.“How did you even get in here?” Hannah asked, still surp
Chapter 207The moment he climbed upstairs to his room, everyone turned and stared at each other. Brandon, who was looking furious, walked upstairs to his study room. Arianna went after him.Hannah sighed and decided to go prepare dinner for her kids as they would be hungry and waiting for her. “This doesn’t seem like a good one,” Matthew said and Jessica nodded.“My brother, Lucas, is a psychopath. We didn’t talk about him more often because of how he died, rather how we thought he died.And Brandon had been feeling guilty about it, So, not to bring up memories, Everyone had decided not to talk about it” Jessica said as she and Matthew both walked back upstairs to her room and Matthew hummed. “He’s going to ask questions about you, please do your best to avoid him, while you are here,” Jessica said and Matthew nodded in response. “Jessica, I will be going to see my aunt today and will be spending the night there, she’s been calling and saying she misses me,” Matthew said “Oh, it
Chapter 208He suddenly pulled away from the kiss and stared at her eyes.His eyes moved to her lips which were looking red and wet from the kiss.“I want you to stay away from my Brother, Lucas” he said and with that, he walked out of the roomLeaving Hannah all alone.She placed her hands on her chest which was beating so fast, she then touched her lips and suddenly found herself smiling as the thought of Brandon filled her heart.She suddenly frowned as she realized she was smiling over nothing.The moment Brandon kissed her, she forgot everything she had wanted to do, she needed to take her bath and reply to some emails before going to sleep but now, she’d forgotten all she had wanted to do.“What is wrong with me?” She thought as the scene of Brandon kissing her filled her mind.The moment Brandon walked out of Hannah’s room, he went to his study room and surprisedly saw Lucas sitting on his chair. “Lucas” he called as he walked fully inside the study room.“Hello Brother,” he s
Chapter 209“What are you doing here Lucas?” He asked and Lucas stared at him without saying a word and then turned to Liam. “Excuse us, I would love to speak to my brother alone,” He said and Liam turned to Brandon who nodded and gave him the look *it is okay,you can leave*.Liam glared at Lucas one more time before walking out of the office. “What are you doing here Lucas?” Brandon asked again as he stood up and put his hands in his pocket while staring at his brother who had this devilish smile on his face. “I’m here to take my position in this company and steal your woman,” Lucas said and Brandon scoffed.“Don’t start with me, Lucas” Brandon said and he chuckled. “Oh, you started with me Brandon with the whole Stay away from my wife speech. I’m still relishing that” Lucas said and Brandon smiled. “As long as you heard it, Lucas,” he said and he rolled his eyes. “You know those times I have been stalking your woman, trust me I came to realize she was really pretty and well en
Chapter 210Hannah sighed the moment she saw him, wondering what he was doing at her office. How did he even know my office?, of course, I'm the COO everyone knows my office, she thought as she walked in fully.“What are you doing here, Lucas?” she asked as she stood in front of him, watching him clean the blood off his nose with a handkerchief in his hands. Brandon had hit him so hard, Hannah thought. “I wanted to apologize for earlier on, for touching your hands and uhm for stalking you all this while. I'm sorry” he said with a guilty look on his face.Hannah immediately felt pity for him. She sighed and nodded. She moved towards her desk, took the first aid box, and decided to help Lucas clean his injury so it wouldn't get infected. She cleaned the blood and after she was done, she dumped the cotton wool in the dustbin, she turned to Lucas standing hands akimbo.“Lucas, I know you are angry and you must hate your brother, I just wanted to let you know Brandon didn't know the m
Chapter 211She was surprised because she knew her kids so much that they hardly get along with anyone but it was different with Lucas.“We could hang out and play some games together maybe later in the day….” Lucas paused the moment he saw Brandon walk in.“And Daddy could join us, it would be fun, isn’t it Brandon?” Lucas asked with a smirk on his face and the kids turned to Brandon with smiles on their faces waiting for him to say yes,Brandon on the other hand didn’t say a word, instead, he kept staring at Lucas with anger in his eyes as he bit his inner lips.“Uhm, sweethearts, go to your room now, I will be there in a bit,” Hannah said and the kids nodded Obediently before going upstairs to their room.Hannah stared at Lucas and then Brandon, she wasn’t gonna interfere in whatever was going between them, she said to herself and was about to move away when Lucas called her, making her stop.“Hannah” Lucas called and she turned to him.“Erm, I wasn’t able to thank you for what you
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
