After breakfast was ready, Hannah and Arianna set the dining table and called everyone downstairs for breakfast. Everyone came down except Jessica who was still locked up in her room. “Where’s Jessica? “ Lisa asked as she sat on the dining chair. “I’ll go talk to her….”“No, I’ll go talk to her” Brandon who was yet to sit down responded cutting off Arianna’s speech. Arianna nodded in response. He went upstairs and planted a soft knock on the door but no response. He tried opening the door but turns out it was locked from the inside. “Jessica, open the door…”“Leave me alone Brandon. I want to be alone” Jessica’s voice echoed from the other side of the door.“Jessica, open the door now,” he said but there was no response from her.“Jessi…..” he paused when the door opened revealing Jessica whose eyes were swollen from the cries.Brandon felt his heart break into pieces as he saw tears in her eyes.“Jessica, you….” Brandon’s speech was cut off when Jessica hugged him and started
It felt like her heart was about to pull out of her body, she knew it was finally going to happen. They were going to have sex.But just then the door burst open revealing Lucas. “Oh my goodness!” Hannah yelled as they quickly covered themselves with the duvet.Lucas quickly looked away.“I didn’t see anything,” he said while looking away. Brandon gritted his teeth. He had forgotten to lock the door. He felt a sensation of anger run through him as he stared at Lucas.How could he interrupt him then when they were about to do something important?Brandon kept giving Lucas a dagger glare, at that moment in time, if he got a hold of him, he could kill him.“What do you want?” He asked as he clenched his fist.“I’m sorry I barged in. I swear I didn’t see anything. Liam called that you were needed urgently in the company. He’s been trying to reach you but your number isn’t going through…” Lucas said and Brandon sighed as he stood up, picked up his cloth from the ground, and put it on.He
“Humphrey “ she called out surprised. She wondered if he was following her.“Hey, Jessica, what are you doing here?” He asked.“I came here to chill, how about u?” Jessica asked in response.“I came here with some friends,” he said as he stared at his friends who were sitting while waiting for him. Jessica turned and saw his friends and they waved at her. Oh thank goodness, I thought he was stalking me, she muttered in her head. The bartender brought the glass of drinks and Jessica took hers and gulped it all down. She turned to Humphery who kept staring at her. She looked away from him and then ordered another glass of alcohol.Meanwhile, Brandon’s car came to a stop in front of the site. Brandon and Lucas both alighted the car and they saw Jeff arguing with the engineers. “Jeff” Brandon called and Jeff turned to him at once. “Just the person I’m looking for. This site is mine, Brandon, if you know what is good for you, you would tell the engineers to leave the site” Jeff mutter
“Brandon that’s enough, let’s talk inside,” Hannah muttered as she held his hands and pulled him away.She dragged him upstairs to her room. She opened the door to the room and they both walked in. The moment they entered the room, she closed the door and turned to him. “What was that out there?” She asked and Brandon sighed softly. “I don’t trust Micheal, why would he date Mom, he’s probably after her money and fame…” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him surprised. “Brandon, Micheal has been there for Mom for a long time. He’s been there all this while, helping her, protecting her. If there was anyone who knows Mom better it would be Micheal. And the both of them dating makes perfect sense to me. And who do you think you are to decide on who should and shouldn't date? This is love we are talking about, they are both in love and that’s what matters“ she said and Brandon kept staring at her without saying a word.“It’s not like you are really in love to know how it feels to be in
Meanwhile, Arianna, who is seen in the sitting room looking sad, sat on the couch.“Come on Mom, Brandon was just pissed because he fought with Jeff today. He would come around” Lucas said and Arianna nodded in response.Just then Lucas heard his phone ring, he stared at the phone call and saw the caller’s ID. He then went outside to answer the phone call.Arianna turned to Daniel and saw the weird look on his face. He seemed like someone sad, or she was probably overthinking it. She then stood up before going upstairs to her room.The moment she left, Daniel sighed. He thought she was still single and he had his chance. The fact that she has someone else made his heart break into pieces. Meanwhile, Jeff, who had left the site with a broken nose, went home. The moment he got home, he met no one at home except the maids. He wondered where his mother had gone to. He climbed upstairs to his room looking so furious. He checked his face in the mirror and saw Brandon had badly injured h
She opened her eyes and then to her utmost surprise, it was Lucas who held her from falling…“Lucas” she called as they both stared at each other. Lucas blinked twice as he quickly pushed away the thought in his mind as he stared at her.He helps her stand up properly. “What are you doing up by this time of the night? Oh my goodness, are you following me” Lisa muttered and Lucas scoffed. “Following you? Seems like you are forgetting I stay here too and I can enter anywhere in this house. I came to get water, I’m not following you” Lucas muttered and Lisa rolled her eyes. “Whatever!.” She said in response and Lucas scoffed. “Is that a thank you for saving your life?..”“And how the hell did you save my life?” She asked. “I just saved you from falling on the ground. You would have probably broken your waist or your head and I helped you…”“I didn’t ask for your help, you should help yourself instead of helping me” she responded and Lucas frowned. “Good night,” she said and was abo
It was morning and Hannah had called Arianna to get the kids dressed for school as she wasn’t at home.Arianna woke up early, got the kids dressed up, and took them all to school. Meanwhile, Hannah and Brandon were still at the hospital.They both are seen in the hospital ward, staring at Lisa who was lying on the bed unconscious. The doctor had told them she had lost lots of blood. That's why she was still unconscious as she would wake up soon.Hannah stared at Lucas who was looking more worried. “She’s going to be fine, Lucas,” Hannah said and Lucas turned to her.“It’s all my fault, I…” Lucas paused when he heard her grunt in pain.“Lisa…” he called and she hummed as she opened her eyes. “Oh thank God you are awake. You scared me” Lucas muttered as he heaved a sigh of relief.“Where am I?…” she asked while staring around. It was then she realized she was in a hospital.“You are in the hospital. How are you feeling?, does your head still hurt?” He asked and she turned to him and
“Where’s that son of a bitch? Where’s Brandon and Hannah” Jeff yelled and Daniel stared at him wondering who he was. “Jeff…..” Arianna called with a surprised look on her face. “What are you doing here?” She asked and Jeff scoffed. “I’m a Colby, Of course, I can enter here anytime,” he said and Arianna hummed. “You should leave Jeff. We don’t want trouble…” Arianna said and Jeff scoffed. “I’m not leaving until Brandon and Hannah give me the paper to my site…”“What site? Brandon and Hannah ain’t home, leave” she said and Jeff sighed softly. “You heard the lady, get out Mr man” Daniel chipped in and Jeff turned to him.“And who the fuck are you,” he asked as he stared at Daniel weirdly.“It’s fine Daniel, I have got this,” Arianna spoke as she took a bold step towards Jeff.“Get out Jeff…”“Sorry, I’m not leaving until I see Brandon and Hannah. You are going to have to call them and tell them I’m waiting for them” Jeff muttered and Arianna scoffed.“This is a command, Mrs Arianna
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
