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
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
