“I just have this feeling that something bad is about to happen,” Hannah said and Arianna smiled. “I know you do not love parties, but it’s just a one-day thing and it’s gone. You would be opportuned to meet a lot of businessmen and women” Arianna said as she touched Hannah’s shoulders and she nodded in response. Hannah sighed and decided to upstairs and get dressed for the party that would be starting in a few minutes from now. The moment she got to her room, she saw a shopping bag which contained a red dress and a red face mask. There was a letter in it.“Put it on for me,” She read out loud and turned her back and saw Anonymous.She rolled her eyes knowing fully well that it was Brandon who sent the dress to her room. She walked inside the bathroom, took her bath, and walked out of the bathroom.She dried her body and rubbed her lotion, after which she put on her underwear and walked towards her wardrobe searching for what she would wear but she found nothing.She stared at the
Hannah was in deep thought while both Arianna and Jessica admired her dress. Just then a text message popped on their phones at once from a strange number, stating Meet me in the study room.They all stared at each other at once wondering who had sent the text message.“Maybe it’s Brandon,” Hannah said and they all shrugged and decided to go to the study room.They walked inside the study room, opened the door, and to their surprise it was empty. They both stared at each other looking confused.Hannah decided to call Brandon.Brandon, who was seen speaking with Senator Harrington and his wife, suddenly heard his phone vibrate. He brought out his phone and checked the text message.*Meet me in the study room* the message stated, and Brandon wondered who had sent the message because it was from a strange number. “Please enjoy the party, Excuse me,” she said to Senator Harrington and his wife before walking away. He climbed upstairs and made his way to his study room when he heard his ph
“I know, that’s why I’m going to leave the country,” Elizabeth said and Jessica sighed softly and wiped her tears. “Are you sure about that?” Jessica asked and she nodded in response. “I would help you book your flight and get the necessary things you need, so you can leave tomorrow morning,” Jessica said and Elizabeth sighed.“You can stay in my room, I will go make some calls now,” she said and with that, she walked out of the room.The moment Brandon had asked the guards to throw Robert out of the house, Hannah’s mind drifted to her kids.She quickly rushed out of the study room and went to her kid's room, where she met them asleep. The maid whom she had told to watch them was also asleep. She placed her hands on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She walked out of the room and closed. A lot of thoughts going through her mind. She walked to her room and closed the door. She removed the dress she was wearing and put on another dress. She stared at the dress in her hands wond
Meanwhile, Hannah who was in her room heard noises from downstairs and decided to come see what was going on. To her surprise, she saw The FBI taking Arianna away and Brandon was seen on a phone call speaking with the DPO.“What's going on?” Hannah asked and Brandon who was on the phone hung up and then turned to Hannah. “I just heard from the DPO that someone testified that she saw Mom kill Robert, an eye witness, “ Brandon said and Hannah stared at him confused. “That's not true, she didn't leave the house last night, she would never do such a thing,” Hannah said looking so worried. “I think whoever killed Robert is trying to frame Mom for it,” Jessica said and Brandon sighed as text messages kept popping up on his phone.“I know, that's why I'm going to the station now and I'm going to bail her out. You all just have to calm down” Brandon said and was about to leave when Hannah called his name. “Brandon” she called and he turned to her. “I'm coming with you,” she said and Bra
“Hello, children” Matthew muttered as he smiled at the octuplets who weren’t smiling at him in return. They had no expression on their faces and didn’t say a word to Matthew. Matthew turned to Jessica who smiled and stepped forward. “Uhm Matthew, these are Brandon’s kids,” Jessica said and Matthew mouthed a wow. He knew Brandon had kids from what Jessica had told him, what he didn’t know was that they were eight kids.Those times he stayed at the mansion, he didn't get the chance to meet them in person.Matthew didn’t need anyone to tell him they were Brandon’s kids. They look so much like him.“Yeah they look so cute,” Matthew said and Jessica smiled.“And who are you?” Jayden questioned as he placed his hands in his pocket, giving him a cold look that was so cute. “Uhm, I’m Matthew, your aunt’s boyfriend,” Matthew said and the kids stared at each other. Jessica knew the kids so much and how tricky they can be, they will ask Matthew so many questions today if she doesn't stop the
Chapter 170The moment Hannah walked out of the study room, she saw Arianna about to walk in. “What's wrong? I heard the sound of broken glasses, is he alright? Are you okay?” Arianna asked and Hannah sighed softly. “I don't know if he's okay, he looks furious, he says his father is back and is the one behind all this, I really don't know,” Hannah said and Arianna walked past her and entered the study room. There she met Brandon, staring into nothing, he looked so lost in thoughts.“I said I wanna be alone, Hannah,” he said as he noticed someone had walked inside the study room.“Honey, it's me, it's your mom,” Arianna said and Brandon raised his head and glanced at her. “Hannah told me, you think it's him!” Arianna asked and Brandon nodded in response. “It's fine honey, everything is going to be alright,” Arianna said trying to console his son who was looking more than angry. “No, it's not gonna be alright. Nothing is gonna be fine. He's a monster, a self-serving asshole. You do
Chapter 171Hannah had helped the kids arrange their clothes and some of their toys and put them in the car. Arianna had asked Hannah to stay at home while she went to drop them off at Sandra’s place because she knows how much Hannah is attached to her kids and she wouldn't be able to leave them. The moment Arianna left with the kids, Hannah walked inside the house, where she met Matthew and Jessica talking. She walked past them and went to her room, she closed the door behind her and laid on the bed tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind. Suddenly, she drifted to sleep.Meanwhile, a male figure is seen sitting in a large hotel room, smoking Indian hemp while watching the TV. It was no other person but Wilson Colby. He sighed softly as he watched the news of Arianna being released from prison. He was the one who had paid a woman to testify against Arianna, but now his plan has been ruined because of his son, Brandon.He frowned as he puffed out smoke from his mouth. He
Chapter 172“Common Isabella, his mom got arrested today, I’m sure he will be so busy trying to fix the reason she was arrested. This is a murder case.I promise I will talk to him about the marriage, and trust me, he won’t say no. You just have to keep doing your part and keep showing him how much you love him” Edward said to his daughter who had a sad look on her face.She sighed and nodded in response before walking away. Edward stared at his little princess as she walked away, she reminded him so much of his wife, Mirabel. Isabella is the copy and paste of her mother. He had sworn to make her happy, so he would do anything in his power to make sure Isabella and Brandon get married.It was evening, and Hannah had just woken up. She realized she had been sleeping for a long time and she hadn’t even heard from her kids. She missed her kids already. She brought out her phone and called them on video call. The kids were happy to see her face and they miss her already. Just then th
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
