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
Chapter 212“Brandon” Hannah called and he turned to her with no expression on his face.“Tell me what happened between you and your Brother. Don’t tell me he’s angry because he thinks you tried to kill him, I know there’s something else, what is it?” Hannah asked and he looked away from her before he finally spoke.“Nothing, you should go to your room,” he said and Hannah scoffed.“You are lying to me Brandon, I spoke with Lucas and even though he didn’t tell me everything, I know there’s more to why the both of you are at each other's throats. Spill it out” she said and he turned to her.“Are you trying to side with him? He’s a manipulative psychopath, he sure knows how to lie” Brandon said and Hannah scoffed.“You are the one lying Brandon, you are not only lying, you are hiding the truth from me and making it look like Lucas is the bad one here. I know absolutely nothing about you, you keep hiding a lot of things from me. Who was he talking about?” She asked and he turned to her
Chapter 213“I'm sorry about Lisa, I hope you find her” Hannah said as she stood up and raised her head. She saw Brandon staring at her and Lucas.“Do you need help in the kitchen? You just cut your finger, you could use some help” Lucas who hadn't noticed Brandon was behind him Said.“No, it's fine. I will ask the maid to prepare the food” Hannah said and walked past Brandon, going upstairs to her room.She sighed the moment she got into her room and sat on the bed.She's doing exactly what she said she wouldn't do, getting involved in whatever was going on between Brandon and Lucas, she thought and gave in a deep breath.Meanwhile, Brandon who is seen downstairs stares at Lucas, giving him a dagger look. “Don’t give me that stare, Big Brother” He said as he walked past Brandon, and walked outside the house. He hopped into his car and zoomed off. Brandon on the other hand wasn’t ready for any fight with Lucas, he felt Hannah must have hated him already, he needed to talk to her, h
Chapter 214The moment Jessica got outside the bar, she met Matthew looking nervous pacing to and fro.“Are you okay? What's wrong?” Jessica asked, jolting Matthew out of his thoughts.“ I'm fine. I'm just tired. Can we go home now?” he asked and Jessica nodded.“I will go get the car,” he said and left in a rush to get the car so they could leave.Jessica on the other hand wondered what was wrong with him.Maybe he's stressed from going to see his aunt yesterday, she thought and shook the thoughts off her head. Meanwhile, Lucas is seen inside the bar staring around, trying to find the lady who had called Matthew Alexander, he just needed to ask her a few questions but sadly she was nowhere to be found.He sighed and then a waiter then brought a drink to his table.“I didn't ask for a drink,” he said to the waiter.“That lady over there asked me to bring it for you,” the waiter said and Lucas turned in the direction the waiter pointed. He saw a lady with blonde hair, putting on sha
Chapter 215Meanwhile, a black car screeched to a halt in front of Colby's mansion. Jessica and Matthew alighted the car and walked inside the house, where they met Arianna at the dining table, with some maids arranging food at the dining table. There was lots of food on the table. She wondered if there was any occasion that she didn’t know about.“Mom” Jessica called and Arianna turned to her and smiled.“Oh honey, you are back,” she said as she moved towards Jessica and hugged her. Then kissed her on her cheeks.“Hi” Matthew muttered and Arianna smiled at him.“What’s the occasion? Why is there so much food on the table?” Jessica asked.“Honey, it’s been a long time since we had dinner together as a family. I just wanted us to have dinner together” Arianna said and Jessica hummed. “You should go change your dress and come eat,” Arianna said and Jessica nodded before going upstairs with Matthew to change their clothes. After Jessica left, Arianna went upstairs to Hannah’s room. S
Chapter 216“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin the dinner,” He said and Hannah sighed.“You should not be apologizing to me, you should apologize to your mom, Jessica, and Brandon. No matter how angry you feel towards him, never mock him with his dead daughter, it’s wrong” she said and with that, she walked away from him. Lucas sighed. He didn’t want Hannah to hate him, he was going to do all she said if it would make her happy, he thought. He decided to go upstairs to his room.Meanwhile, Hannah who had gone to her room, opened the door and she was welcomed by the sight of Brandon sitting on the couch.His face looked down, he was looking sad.“Hey, are you alright?” She asked as she walked inside the room leaving the door slightly open. He nodded and stood up.“I just came to inform you about the banquet party that will be hosted tomorrow by Mr Thomas. You would be attending it with me” Brandon said and Hannah nodded in response.He glared at her and was about to walk out of the r
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
