Chapter 6
Meanwhile, Rhoda and Jeff's mom, Rosa, are seen sitting together in Mikealson’s mansion, laughing. They looked so happy.
“I'm glad I finally got rid of Hannah for good. My son just wouldn't want to leave her alone. Even though he knows she's cursed and she eats her kids, that's why all the children she gave birth to died. Witch like her. Who knew she was going to end up being barren” Rosa said in a disgusting tone making Rhoda smile.
Rosa knew she was the one behind what Hannah had gone through. Only she and the nurse she paid knew about what she has done.
“Hannah is cursed. She killed her mother when she was a child. That’s why she had no relative or family members” Rhoda said and Rosa opened her eyes wide.
“Oh my goodness!! I knew it!! She killed her mother and she lied she had cancer and died. I wonder where Jeff picked her from. I’m glad she’s gone for good, now you can be my daughter in law. And I’m glad you gonna give me an heir, finally “ Rosa muttered and Rhoda giggled happily and just then she frowned.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Why are you frowning? Aren’t you happy she’s out of our lives for good?” Rosa asked
“No no, of course I’m happy. It’s just that Jeff still seems to care about her. He’s out there searching for her” Rhoda said with a sad face.
“It’s up to you not to make him forget about Hannah for good. You seduced him in the first place, so I’m sure you know what to do next. I’ll do my part” Rosa said and Rhoda smiled.
She stared around and noticed it was only she and Rosa in the room and the maids who were busy passing by.
“Oh, my stomach , it hurts!” Rhoda yelled and Rosa rushed towards her.
“Oh my goodness!! Someone call the doctor and help me take her upstairs“ Rosa yelled and the maids came running in.
They helped carry Rhoda to Jeff’s room upstairs. Rosa quickly picked up her phone and called Jeff.
“Hello Jeff, Rhoda came to find you at home today, she suddenly started having an abdominal pain. Im scared she’s going to loose her baby” Rosa said sounding so tensed.
“I’ll be there in a jiffy “ Jeff said and ended the call immediately.
Rosa smiled and went upstairs to Jeff’s room where she met Rhoda lying on the bed.
“I called him already, he’s on his way here” Rosa said and suddenly they heard Jeff’s voice from downstairs.
“He’s here. This means he wasn’t far from home” Rosa said and Rhoda quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Just then the door burst open revealing Jeff.
“Mom, how’s she? How’s the baby? Have you called the doctor?” Jeff asked as he walked in.
“Calm down son. I called the doctor, he just left not quite long. She and the baby is fine. The doctor said she’s just stressed and just needs enough rest and she will be fine” Rosa said and Jeff gave out a breath of relief.
If there was one thing he didn’t want, he didn’t want Rhoda to loose the baby. All he wanted was just a child , it would make him the most happiest man on earth.
He’s willing to do anything for Rhoda just to make sure she gives birth sound and safety.
“Have you found Hannah yet?” Rosa asked . She knew Jeff had left home to go find Hannah and she began to wonder if he had found her yet.
“No, I tried looking for her but I don’t think she’s in Atlanta. I heard a woman came with a black car and took her away. I tried to find out the identity of this woman but I just couldn’t. I checked all the hospitals but she isn’t in anyone of them” Jeff said and Rosa sighed softly.
“Then you should forget about her and focus on Rhoda. Besides she’s pregnant and she needs you by her side. You should take care of her and forget Hannah. You had wanted to get rid of her a long time ago now is finally the time” Rosa said and Jeff swallowed hard.
He truly had wanted to get rid of Hannah . He wanted an heir but she just couldn’t give him an heir. The doctor had declared her barren, All he wanted was to divorce her and still give her fifty percent of the things he had.
He knew Hannah had no one or any family to go to. He began to wonder where she is or maybe she’s probably dead.
But on a second thought, he thinks everything is for the best. He should just get married to Rhoda and forget about Hannah.
“Make arrangements for I and Rhoda’s wedding. I’m getting married to her” Jeff said and Rosa smiled.
“That’s the son I raised” she thought as she stared at Jeff. She known Jeff to have anger issues and when he gets angry he can kill her even though she was his mother but there was one thing Rosa was so sure of, her son loves her so much and would do anything she tells him to.
“I found this. Someone who saw the woman take Hannah said it fell from Hannah” Jeff said as he brought out a bracelet from his pocket and gave it to her mother.
His mother took the bracelet and starred at it disgustingly. She didn’t want anything to do with Hannah at all.
Just then Jeff heard his phone ring and then walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Rhoda who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, smiled inwardly, she’s finally going to be Jeff’s wife. She could not believe. She felt so happy that she had wanted to scream but she had to pretend she was asleep.
Now, she’s finally going to enjoy all the riches and wealth Hannah had been enjoying all those years.
She opened her eyes and stared at Rosa who was staring at the bracelet.
“I’m going to dump this” Rosa said and Rhoda quickly took it from her.
“No, I’ll keep it. This looks so expensive “ Rhoda said and Rosa rolled her eyes at her.
“We better start making arrangements for your wedding”

***********
Hannah is seen walking down the stairs looking so beautiful. She had wore the gown Arianna had told her to wear.
Arianna who was sitting at the dinning table smiled as she saw how beautiful Hannah was looking. She truly look so much like her daughter, Cinderella.
“You look beautiful Cinderella” Arianna said and Hannah smiled and sat on a vacant chair close to her.
“Thank you ma’am “ Hannah said and Arianna smiled.
“I think it’s high time you start addressing me as mom” Arianna said and Hannah joined her lips together, she glanced at Arianna for some seconds and then nodded.
“Thank you mom” she said and Arianna smiled. She just love this lady Hannah so much. She didn’t know why but she just love everything about her.
Just then Arianna heard her phone vibrate. It was a text message from her personal investigator in Atlanta. She frowned as she read the message.
“Is everything alright?” Hannah asked as she noticed the look on her face.
“It’s Jeff, he’s getting married to Rhoda next tomorrow” Arianna said and Hannah blinked twice as she felt like a sharp knife has been pierced into her heart.
Despite the fact that Jeff had ruined her life, she was supposed to hate him but truth is , she still love him. And she haven’t been gone for up to a week and he’s already planning his wedding with her best friend.
Hannah felt so hurt. Arianna noticed the look on her face. She shouldn’t have told her about it, she could see Hannah was deeply hurt and it pained her heart.
“You should forget about them for now. When the time comes you’ll get the revenge you ever wanted” Arianna said and placed her hands on top Hannah’s.
Hannah smiled at her.
“I’ll be attending a party tomorrow. Prominent men and women of New York City would be there, I’m going to introduce them to you as my daughter. So first thing tomorrow, you’ll be going for shopping with me” Arianna said and Hannah smiled at her and nodded in response.
“And I have a company here in new York. I’ll be making you the new CEO, so you will resume anytime you feel like” Arianna said and Hannah stared at her speechlessly.
“Why are you doing all this for me? You barely know me” Hannah said
“I just want to help you Hannah. You deserve the best Hannah” Arianna said and Hannah nodded.
Just then a maid arrived holding a package in her hands.
“Ma’am the package you ordered for has arrived” the maid said with her head bowed.
“Oh! Thank you” Arianna said and took it from the maid and then gave it to Hannah, who collected it immediately.
“What’s inside?” Hannah asked
“See for yourself” Arianna said and Hannah gave her one glance before opening the package and to her surprise she saw a phone, and a laptop. An expensive wrist watch too and some other gadgets she could barely recognize and know the use.
“It’s all yours” Arianna said as she noticed the surprise look on Hannah’s face.
“Isn’t this too much? All this are so expensive “ Hannah said and Arianna smiled.
“Welcome to the land of wealth and riches , honey. Nothing is too expensive when money is involved”

Chapter 7“Welcome to the land of wealth and riches, honey. Nothing is too expensive when money is involved”******************************Two weeks later Hannah is seen climbing down the stairs, all dressed, ready to resume the MacKenzie company as the new CEO. Just then she saw Arianna, walking out of the kitchen putting on a white long robe making her look so sexy. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hands. She could swear that nobody would believe that this woman was in her 50s but she looked so young and sexy. A lot of people would probably think they are sisters. “Good morning mom” Hannah muttered as she moved towards her and kissed her on the cheeks.“Good morning honey. I can see you are all set for work” Arianna said with a smile plastered on her face, as she examined Hannah’s dress. “It’s your first day as CEO, remember what I told you. You are now Cinderella Mackenzie, you should never let anyone intimidate you, heads high, walk majestically. And if anyone dares
Chapter 8“Congratulations, your daughter has just given birth to Octuplets. Four boys and four girls” the doctor said and Arianna opened her eyes wide in shock. “Octuplets!!” Arianna said, almost yelling. Hannah’s stomach was so big, she had always thought there were more than one baby inside, probably triplets or quadruplets, but the fact that it was octuplets was so shocking. “Can I see her now?” Arianna asked“Yeah, sure after the nurse finishes cleaning the babies and the mother then you can see them,” the doctor said and Arianna nodded in response.After The nurse had finished cleaning the babies, Hannah. Arianna went inside the ward to see Hannah and the babies. She met Hannah lying on the bed staring at the babies which were laid on a big baby cradle beside her. “Oh my goodness!! Hannah, congratulations “ Arianna said and Hannah smiled at her weakly. Hannah had felt so much pain while giving birth to the babies, but immediately she saw the babies, all the pain she felt d
Chapter 9Hannah walked inside her kid's room and met them playing with their toys. With the way they were looking so calm, one would think they weren't the ones turning the whole house upside down some minutes ago. “Mommy” Addison called as she saw Hannah walk inside the room. She dropped her toy and went to hug her mommy, while the rest of the kids did the same. Hannah smiled and sat on the ground while the kids surrounded her. “Mommy, do you want to tell us a story?” Audrey asked happily. “No honey, I'm here to tell you, guys, something else,” Hannah said and the kids raised their eyebrows staring at her, waiting for her to speak.“Sweethearts, we are leaving New York City, “ Hannah said and the kids opened their eyes wide in shock. “We are leaving?” Jaxon asked and Hannah nodded in response.“Why mommy,” Allison asked“Why are we leaving mommy?” Jasper asked curiously “And where are we going?” Aubrey asked and Hannah smiled. If there was one thing about her kids, they love a
Chapter 10It was morning and another brand new day to be precise. Hannah had woken up so early and got dressed. She had wanted to visit Brandon’s company, BRC. co.Arianna had told her Brandon was going to be available at 7:30 Am. She had already scheduled a meeting with him and he was willing to meet. She had to go early because her mother had told her Brandon doesn't like clients who come late to meetings.She got dressed and went to the kid's room. There she met them while still asleep. She sighed softly as she stared at them. They had come just yesterday, and she needed the kids to rest, after today she had planned on getting them to start a new school.She smiled at them before walking out of the room. On her way out of the house, she met the nannies and the maids. She had told them to make sure they give the kids anything they want while she is not at home. With that, she walked out of the house.She hopped into the new car Arianna had gotten for her before she arrived in Atlan
Chapter 11She hopped out of the car and was about to walk inside the restaurant when she bumped into someone who she never expected to see.“Hannah!!” Rhoda, her best friend, called out in shock as she saw Hannah.Hannah stared at Rhoda angrily, memories of years back when she caught her sleeping with her husband came running inside her head like a flash. All she wanted to do at this moment was just to kill her.“Y-you are still alive” Rhoda stuttered. She didn’t know why but she suddenly started feeling scared as she saw Hannah.“Of course, I’m not alive. This is my ghost and I’m here to kill you” Hannah said and Rhoda stared at her without saying a word. Her eyes scrutinized Hannah who was now looking even more beautiful than before.She now had a better shape than before that Every man will want. She felt so jealous of her immediately. She thought she was dead but no, she was alive, sound, and healthy. They never heard from her again after she was raped but now suddenly she appea
Chapter 12“Mommy what happened to your face?” Her son, David asked. Oh! It's nothing honey, mommy is going to be fine” Rhoda smiled as she starred at her son, David who looked so much like Jeff. She had a son for Jeff years back and he's six years and some months old. Rhoda was glad she has a son for Jeff. There was no way Hannah could steal Jeff from her and her son. She had gotten rid of her before, she was definitely going to get rid of her again, this time it was going to be for good but at first she needed to make her pay for hurting her today, Rhoda thought as she smiled at her son while patting his hair.**********************Meanwhile, Jeff is seen pacing to and fro in his room. He was still in shock that he had saw Hannah. The guilt he tried to bury year's ago were back. he needed to find Hannah and make things right. He regret betraying her in the past.The moment he saw Hannah today, he realized one thing, he was still in love with her.He had noticed Hannah was look
Chapter 13Hannah’s Car screeched to a halt in front of Brandon’s company. She put on a long jacket to cover up herself. She didn’t want anyone to know she was dressed that way. She walked inside the company and walked inside the elevator to Brandon’s office. Immediately, the elevator stopped at the last floor, she took a deep breath before walking towards Brandon’s office. She planted a soft knock on the door but there was no response. She then creaked the door opened and peeped in. There she met Brandon standing close to the window of his office staring outside the building. He looked so lost in thought that he barely noticed she was inside the office. He seems to love the outside view of his company because she had seen him standing at the same spot yesterday while staring outside, Hannah thought. She then dropped her on the chair and removed her jacket. She shortened her gown and took a deep breath before walking towards Brandon. She stood behind him wanting to touch him but
Chapter 14“Let’s get married,” he said coldly and Hannah stared at him with a confused expression on her face.“What? You mean you want me to be your wife?” Hannah asked and Brandon stared at her with no expression on his face, without saying a word.“Marriage isn’t what you just get into. You barely know me and I barely know you and you want us to get married. You must be joking “ Hannah said and scoffed. She stared at Brandon and chuckled, he's unbelievable, she thought. Just because she asked him for help doesn’t mean he should start asking for marriage, who does that? she thought. “I know. That’s why I’m asking you to be my wife and you're gonna say yes because I do not take no for an answer” Brandon said coldly. “Are you trying to force me into marrying you? And why do you think I’m going to say yes?” Hannah asked while staring deep inside Brandon’s eyes like she was searching for something.“For the sake of your company and most importantly…” Brandon paused and brought out a
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
