Chapter 191“Emilia, I can explain,” Wilson said and she laughed and wiped her tears. “Explain what? I fucking saw you pull the trigger, I saw you with my own eyes” Emilia said and Wilson sighed. He never knew Emilia had seen her, he thought she was at home with the kids that day. “I had left home to go see my dad, I walked inside the house through the back door when I saw you shoot him twice on his stomach. I hid and covered my mouth trying not to make any sound. You did it without remorse” Emilia said as she remembered everything clearly. She remembered she had decided to go see her father because it was his birthday. She had gotten him a birthday gift and came in through the back door to surprise her daddy, but instead, she met the shock of her life. She saw her dad begging Wilson not to do it but he paid a deaf ear to his pleas and shot him twice on his stomach. She had wanted to yell but she didn’t because she knew if Wilson had seen her that day, he would have killed her.
“No, My husband cannot be dead” she cried out loud with crocodile tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m sorry Mrs Emilia, “Stone said, trying to console her.“No no, I need my husband back. I need him back, my children need him” She kept on crying, and Stone on the other hand was trying his best to make her stop crying. When she was finally quiet a bit, she turned to Stone. “Where are my children?” she asked, looking around.“They are safe, you have to tell us what you saw, did you see the face of the person who killed him?” Stone asked and Emilia cried.“I had woken up and went to the bathroom to urinate, then I heard the sound of broken glass followed by a gunshot. I rushed inside the room and saw my husband lying on the bed with blood all over him.I.. I tried fighting who it was because he was wearing a mask, I tried fighting him, and then he hit me and I fell on the ground, everywhere became blurred, everything happened so fast” she cried and Stone sighed.He didn’t want to
Chapter 193Brandon suddenly interrupted her speech with a kiss.Hannah was surprised at the kiss as she didn’t expect him. She placed her hands on his chest and tried pushing him away but he was just too strong. She stopped struggling, she felt a strange feeling and a spark running through her veins with her heart running a marathon race.She felt lots of blood pumping through her heart, as he kept on kissing her. Whatever feeling was running through her right now, she didn’t know why but she liked it. She suddenly closed her eyes and gave in to the kiss and suddenly she kissed him back.Brandon suddenly pulled away from the kiss when it was getting intense, he knew if he hadn’t pulled away from the kiss, something else would have happened so he had to stop so he would not lose control.He smiled as he stared at Hannah whose lips were now wet and red, the thought of her kissing him back, made his heart leap in joy.He kept on smiling and then held her hands that were on his chest, h
“Wilson is dead,” Liam said and Brandon opened his eyes wide in surprise.“What? What do you mean dead?” He asked as he stood up from the bed. “He’s dead Brandon, you should be happy,” Liam said and He hummed.“What about his wife and kids?” Brandon asked “I don’t know but I know Emilia had been rushed to the hospital, she was injured.Whoever killed Wilson, tried killing her too” Liam said and Brandon nodded.“Do you have any idea who might have killed him?” He asked “Not really, Wilson made a lot of enemies before he left Atlanta, probably one of his enemies who might have found out he was in town,” Liam said and Brandon nodded in response, and with that, he ended the call. He turned to Hannah who was staring at him wondering who he was talking to and who was dead and what had happened.“What happened? Who was that?” Hannah asked “It’s Liam, Wilson is dead,” he said and Hannah stared at him confused. “Dead? How?” Hannah asked “I don’t know how or who killed him but it’s good
She moved him and hugged him. “I will miss you,” she said as she hugged him so tight. She’s known Stone for more than ten years now. The first time she had met Wilson, Stone was with him. Stone had always been with Wilson because he was his right-hand man. She would miss him so much. Stone gave out a small smile and then Emilia pulled away from the hug. “Take care of yourself and the kids” he muttered as tears gathered in his eyes, he gave her one last look before walking out of the house. The moment he walked out of the house, the tears he’d been trying to push back slipped down his cheeks. “Hey man, everything is gonna be fine,” Benjamin said as he patted Stone’s shoulder. Benjamin knows how much Stone cared for Wilson and his family. He’s always been so loyal to them he was already a family to them, if it were up to him, he would stay but they had to leave because he didn’t want to put the kid's life in danger.He hopped inside the car and zoomed off.Meanwhile, Emilia stoo
The moment Liam left Brandon’s house, he went to pick up Emilia and the kids and took them to the house. A black car screeched to a halt in front of the mansion, Liam and Emilia and her kids alighted the car. Emilia stared at the surroundings of the building and saw how beautiful it was, and the mansion was so big.“You guys can go inside, I'll bring in your luggage,” Liam said as he opened the back of the car and started bringing out their luggages. They nodded and walked inside the house. The moment they opened the front door and entered the house, Emilia opened her eyes wide in shock. She was flabbergasted at how beautiful the house was. The interior design was so pretty, she thought, staring around, and just then Liam walked in with their luggage.“Are we gonna be living here alone?” Emilia asked and Liam nodded in response.“I’m going to hire a maid, she would be helping you guys with anything you need,” Liam said and Emilia smiled at him and muttered a thank you.Just then h
Chapter 197“Come in,” Brandon, whose attention was on the files on his table, said without raising his head and Isabella walked in. “Hey, Brandon” Isabella muttered and Brandon sighed the moment he heard her voice. He raised his head and stared at her face which was plastered with lots of makeup.“Hey, you didn’t tell me you were coming,” Brandon said and she smiled while trying to adjust her dress making herself almost naked but Brandon was not even paying attention to whatever she was wearing or doing. He kept staring at her face which was looking funny from the makeup, he had wanted to laugh but he quickly held himself from laughing at her. Her face looked so funny from the make up.“I tried calling you but you weren’t picking up, I heard about your father, I’m so sorry for your loss,” Isabella said as she moved closer to Brandon’s table.Brandon sighed wondering how she heard about it but then he wasn’t surprised, news flies faster here in Atlanta.“Thank you, what are you doin
Chapter 198“It’s fine, I wasn’t watching too, I was on my phone, it wasn’t your fault,” Hannah said as she managed to pick up the little she could and stood up now facing the man. “You can throw those away, I can get you new ones “ he said and Hannah gave him a gentle smile. “No, it’s fine, I just need to wash them and it will all be normal, it’s fine,” Hannah said in response, still trying to remember where she had seen him before but she just couldn’t remember. “I insist, Mrs, please let me pay for the damages,” the young man said and even after much persuasion, she refused to let him buy new stuff for her. “What about the ones on the floor, Mr? Alot of people are out there hungry and I cannot just waste them all because they fell on the ground. They are still good, I just need to wash them, thank you” Hannah said, and one of the security men who had noticed what Hannah bought was all on the ground quickly rushed inside the mall and took a nylon then walked towards Hannah and
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
Hannah and Brandon had left for the company after they had breakfast. They had left in Brandon’s car.The car came to a stop in front of the company and They both alighted the car and walked inside the company to their respective offices.Hannah on the other hand had begun work immediately after she arrived and also had an interview with a media person inside her office.After she was done with the interview, she left the company to go see a client she had scheduled with a hotel.She had gotten to the hotel and was led by the receptionist to the VIP area. She had gotten there and met a male figure sitting in the chair while operating his phone.She wasn’t expecting to see a male. It was a female.“Hello, Mrs Colby…” the man said immediately as he caught a glimpse of her and stood up immediately.“Hi…” Hannah muttered looking confused wondering who the man was.“Oh, you must be wondering why Mrs Caro Clinton is not here. She had to attend our daughter’s school ceremony: and I had to co
It’s been a week since everyone had found out Lucas wasn't a Colby, instead, she was a product of her mother’s infidelity with the former driver.Hannah had woken up early and prepared not much breakfast since it was just her, Jessica, Brandon, and Lucas at the house.Arianna had left for New York with her boyfriend, Micheal, and the kids. Linda hadn’t shown her face since what happened at the baby’s shower. Everyone understood he was down and needed space. Anyone would be down after what had happened. Imagine finding out the baby you thought was yours wasn’t yours, the same day you found out your father wasn’t your biological father.After Hannah had finished setting up the table, she called the maids to inform everyone that breakfast was ready which they did and in no time everyone was coming downstairs for breakfast.“I miss the kids so much, the house looks so boring without them,” Jessica who is seen climbing down the stairs muttered and then sighed as she moved towards the dini
Meanwhile, everyone was waiting for the party to start and just then Linda picked up the microphone calling everyone's attention to her.“I know a lot of you might be wondering while I’m the one holding the mic, well I’m a good MC and there’s nothing I can’t do,” she said and everyone laughed.“Well, it’s my grandchild's gender reveal today and we are going to find out what the gender is. If it’s a boy or a girl. Although I would be happy if it’s both, “ she said and everyone in the room burst into laughter..“But first I would call the father and the mother forward. Lucas and Kara, please step forward,” Linda said and they Both walked forward to the stage, where everyone was staring at them.“Well, this beautiful lady here is carrying my son’s child and as we know, none of us is aware of the gender and we are going to find out, today, here and now,” Linda said with a smile on her lips and Jessica who was staring at her from upstairs rolled her eyes. “Time for the reveal,” Linda said
It was morning and the house was busy, unlike every other day. Today was the day of the baby shower and Kara and Lucas could be seen running around, trying to get everything in order.Hannah and Brandon hadn’t gone to work today. No one left the house, as they needed to be available at the baby shower.They had to be there for Lucas while they revealed the gender of the baby. Linda could be seen standing with Kara while they told the electrical man where to put the projector to reveal the gender of the baby.Arianna could be seen in the dining room with Hannah watching the whole scene.“Who doesn’t know she’s a devil in sheep's apparel would think she’s supportive. I know she’s just trying to be close to her, so she could find a way to get rid of her,” Arianna said as she rolled her eyes and Hannah chuckled. Lucas could be seen standing at the stair rails all dressed up, while he glared at Linda and Kara bond together. He was glad Linda was making progress and wasn’t rude to the mot
