“It's about Grandma Samantha, her sickness is getting worse and if the surgery is not carried out on time, she might die… Adrianna will lose the only family she's got left” the nurse said with a worried look on her face: Lisa stared at her without saying a word.She could hear Adrianna’s and her grandma’s laughter. They sounded so happy. She knows how much Melissa loves her grandmother. If Melissa loses her grandma, she might never be the same again and she was too young to lose the only family she's got left.The reason she had agreed to act as Mellisa was so she could pay her grandma's bills. Samantha was the only family Mellisa had left, and her dying would make her lonely, she thought memories of how her mom had died came running into her head.She felt tears gathered in her eyes but then she quickly pushed it back and then stood up.“Send me the bills, let's transfer her to the best hospital here in Atlanta and make sure she gets the surgery,” she said and the nurse nodded and
Meanwhile, Lisa had just woken up from her deep sleep and was feeling hungry, so she decided to go downstairs to get some food. The moment she got downstairs, the door burst open revealing Jessica. She was looking sad and angry at the same time and her eyes were swollen like she had just cried.She walked past her and climbed the stairs going to her room. Hmm, she’s calm today and didn’t try to attack me, Lisa thought and then sighed.Just then the front door opened again revealing Hannah. She had just returned from the company and she was looking so tired. Hannah stared at Lisa and was about to walk past her when she spoke, making her pause. “I know you are having an affair with Lucas..” she said and Hannah turned to her looking perplexed. “You don’t need to hide it anymore, I know you love Lucas, you are everything just like me Hannah, but yet you deny it,” Lisa said and Hannah scoffed.“You must be crazy. You need help Lisa, you are depressed and jobless and do not know what y
Meanwhile, the octuplets are seen in the room, they are already done playing games and are talking about their schools. Suddenly, Allison took the hairbrush and decided to brush Mellisa’s hair. “Your hair looks scattered, can I brush it?” She asked and Mellisa nodded giving her permission to. She brushed the hair and then helped her style it in two ponytails. She took her hair band and tied it on the ponytail and then dropped the brush on the dressing table beside her bed.“Wow, you look so pretty,” Allison said as Mellisa stared at herself in the mirror and then smiled. She loved the hairstyle.The octuplets stared at each other as they stared at the hairbrush which contained a few strands of Mellisa’s hair.Meanwhile, Lisa was seen by the pool when she saw Matthew’s car drive inside the compound.He alighted the car while he was on a phone call.“I lied to her that I’m going to see my aunt, can you please stop calling me so she won’t be suspicious?” Matthew said as he closed the
“What are you talking about?-“ he said with the look of confusion on his face and Jessica felt more pain in her heart. He was pretending not to know what she was talking about.“I know you didn’t go to see your aunt today, you went to see the Chairman of GTB publishing company at a restaurant, and you lied to me-““Are you following me now?” He asked and she stared at him looking speechless.“Is that what you gonna say, if I’m following you? You fucking lied to me. You lied about having an aunt or a family here in Atlanta, you lied about your identity, you lied about the fact that you are a reporter, you lied about everything” she yelled and he stared at her with a look of surprise on his face wondering how she found out about all of this.He's been caught, damn!! He thought.“Jessica you are getting it all wrong, I can explain,” he said and she shook her head and wiped her tears.“There’s nothing to explain about, I know the truth now. You only came to me because you needed informati
What kind of mother are you? I hate you so much” she yelled and then laid on the bed and closed her eyes as tears slipped down her cheeks.Lisa sighed softly as she stared at the little girl who was lying beside her facing the other side of the bed. She felt her heart break at what she had said. “What kind of mother are you?”.“Adrianna,” she called but no response.“Adrianna I-“ she paused as she sighed for the hundredth time.“Have a good night's sleep, Adrianna”, she said as she lay on bed beside her, lots of thoughts going through her mind It was morning and Arianna had woken up so early so she could get the kids dressed up for school.She had gone downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the kids but then to her utmost surprise, she saw Lisa in the kitchen preparing breakfast.She stared at her with a look of surprise on her face. She wondered what she was cooking, why she was cooking, and who she was cooking for.“What's going on here, Alex?” she asked the butler and
“I hope it’s not poison,” she said and Lisa rolled her eyes. “I’m only doing this so you won’t ruin my plans. Sit here, the food is ready, I would bring it now” she said and walked inside the kitchen.A few minutes later; she came back holding a tray of food and then dropped it on the table.“What did you prepare?” Mellisa asked, staring at the plate.“Baked chicken and some rice,” she said as she opened the place and Mellisa hummed. “I hope it tastes nice as it looks,” she said as she took the fork and knife and took a cut from the chicken. Lisa sat down staring at her while she took a bite from the chicken, she had this weird look on her face while she chewed it. “What’s wrong?” Lisa asked as she took the serviette and suddenly spit it out.“This has no taste and it's half cooked, I can taste the blood of the chicken in my mouth, did you even wash it? , please do not ever try to cook again” Mellisa said as she rested her back on the chair. “Fine, at least I tried,” she said as s
“What?-““Lisa, could you learn to stick your nose in things that are your concerns?” Arianna asked with a frown on her face.“Not when it involves this family reputation, “ Lisa said and Arianna rolled her eyes.“Like you care about this family” she responded.“Ok, what the hell is going on Mom?” Brandon asked.“You should ask Lisa, I believe she knows everything, “ Arianna said as she shot Lisa a deadly glare. Brandon and Lucas turned to Lisa waiting for her to speak.“Turns out Matthew's real name is Alexander Robert. He had targeted Jessica and your sister fell for his traps-““Can you just go straight to the point? I knew his name wasn’t Matthew” Lucas said and everyone turned to him.“You knew?” Brandon asked.“Not really, but the day we had gone out, a lady had called him Alexander Robert, he claimed not to know the lady and left. I figured out that might be his actual name” Lucas said with a shrug.“Anyways, Matthew is a reporter and a publisher, he was paid to give out every
“Sorry, I don’t take advice from a twelve-year-old,” Lisa said and Mellisa scoffed. “At least I’m not an adult everyone hates,” she said as she stood up, and with that, she walked away. You little thing, Lisa muttered as she gritted her teeth.Meanwhile, Hannah had woken up feeling extremely tired and sick. Her body was burning hot. She checked the time and noticed she was late for the office. “No one even cares to wake me up, not even my so-called husband “ she muttered as she stood up and stared at the door. It was then she noticed she had locked the door and there was no way anyone would have gotten in. But they should have knocked, she thought as she picked up her phone and saw thirty missed calls from Brandon. Shit! I’m late for the board meeting, she thought and then managed to walk out of the room and went downstairs to get some drugs and coffee.She got downstairs and there she met Lisa sitting on the dining chair. She sighed and then sat on the chair opposite hers and
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
