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
Chapter 217“I’m sorry Mr Brandon, we would use the other elevator,” they all said at once and were about to leave when Hannah spoke, making them pause.“It’s fine, you can use this one,” she said as she and Brandon walked out of the elevator.Hannah, who was trying to avoid Brandon’s gaze, was just about to enter her office when Brandon held her hands.“Let go of my hands, please. I don’t want people saying I’m sleeping with the boss in the company,” she said, staring around as she wondered if anyone was watching.“What are you talking about? I’m your husband and who cares about what people say” Brandon said as she caressed her hands.“Well I do, I care,” she said as she pulled her hands away from his and walked inside her office. The moment she got inside her office. She placed her hands on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Brandon on the other hand had this smile on her face the moment Hannah had entered her office.He walked towards his office, still smiling to h
Chapter 218Meanwhile, Lucas is seen in his room going through his phone when he suddenly receives a call from the florist that the flowers have been delivered. He smiled as he ended the call. He knew Brandon would have seen the flowers by now and would be angry, he chuckled.He stood up from the bed, took his bath, and put on a black trouser and a shirt. He walked out of his room and went downstairs, the moment he got downstairs he met Jessica sitting on the couch in the sitting room. “Hey, little sis” he muttered and Jessica raised her head and stared at him then looked away.“Come on sis, you can’t be angry with me over last night. I’m sorry for ruining the dinner last night. I’m sorry, please forgive me” he said Jessica stood up and was about to walk away from him but then Lucas stood in her way. “Get out of my way, Lucas,” she said and Lucas pouted.“Please, forgive your Brother,” he said and Jessica sighed. No matter how much she tried to hate Lucas, she just couldn’t, he’s
Chapter 219Hannah opened the door to her room and was suddenly welcomed by the sight of three shopping bags sitting pretty on her bed.She wondered what was in it and who had entered her room and kept it on the bed. She took one of the shopping bags, opened it and brought out the clothes in it. She checked the second then saw a Diamond necklace, an earring, and also a Diamond hand bangle. She then checked the third and saw diamond heels and a black heels. She then saw a letter inside the shopping bag. She brought it out and read it “Put it on for me, I love you” she smiled as she read it out loud. She knew it was Brandon who had sent it.She quickly replaced the smile on her face with a frown.She dropped the piece of paper on the bed and picked up the gown admiring it.It was a red gown, it was so beautiful and elegant. Everything about the dress spoke about money, money, and money. Oh my goodness, this must be so expensive, she thought as she dropped the gown on the bed.She did
Chapter 220“Hey, you look… beautiful,” Brandon said as he admired her and Hannah gave out a small smile.Hannah turned to Lucas who was staring at her and then she looked away before walking out of the house, with Brandon by her side.Brandon opened the car door for her and beckoned for her to get in.“You don’t have to open the car door for me,” she said and Brandon sighed. She stared at him and entered the car and he closed the door. He moved towards the driver's seat, hopped inside the car, ignited the engine, and zoomed off.Meanwhile, Lucas on the other hand had walked out of the house, hopped inside his car, and drove off.The moment Lucas left, Jessica and Matthew walked out of the house, entered the car, and drove off to the party.Meanwhile, Jeff had just arrived at the party and walked inside Thomas’s house where the party was being held. He scrutinized the whole house, it was really big on the inside and the interior decoration of the house looked magnificent.“Jeff, tha
Chapter 221Hannah had walked away angrily from the table she had sat on. She wondered how Isabella dared to approach her and warn her to stay away from her husband. Who does that? she thought angrily. Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned swiftly and saw Lucas. He had just arrived at the party.“Hey, are you alright?” He asked as he noticed the look on her face.“Yeah, I’m okay?” She said in response and then raised her eyebrows wondering what he was doing at the party. “Did you receive the flowers?” Lucas asked and Hannah nodded.“Yeah but that was a lot of flowers, you shouldn’t have gone through the stress of getting me those, besides I do not like flowers, “ Hannah said and Lucas's face fell immediately. Hannah, who had noticed the look on his face, quickly rephrased her words. “I love the flowers though, they were really beautiful, “ she said and he smiled. “I’m glad you love it,” he said in response and she gave out a small smile.“Mom said you apologized t
Chapter 222Hannah had just drank that one glass of drink and she felt strange. She picked up the empty glass of drink, and stared at it, checking if there was something inside. Maybe I'm the one overthinking it, she thought and then raised her head and stared at Jessica who had drank more than five glasses and was feeling so drunk already. “You are drunk, Jessica, that's enough. Let's go home” Matthew said as he stood up and helped her stand up from the chair. “No, I don't want to go home yet, we just arrived, I want to stay and have fun” she pouted.“I promise, you will have fun when we get home, but now we need to go home,” Matthew said as he carried her in his arms. She rested her head on his chest and then wrapped her hands around his neck and closed her eyes. “Are you okay?” Matthew asked as he noticed the look on her face.“Yeah, I’m fine,” she said, trying so hard to compose herself. Matthew nodded in response before walking out of the house. He walked towards his car an
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
