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
Chapter 223“Well, go tell your brother Hannah is mine, she belongs to me” he said and then Lucas stared at Hannah who was looking weak and sweating intensely, he frowned deeply as he felt a surge of anger run through him.He moved toward Jeff and punched him so hard on his face and he quickly let go of her and staggered backwards. “How dare you hit me?” Jeff yelled and wanted to punch Lucas when he held his hands and squeezed his fingers making him wince in pain and then he pushed him to the ground. Lucas rushed towards Hannah who was about to fall and held her. Her vision was blurry, as she could barely see anything. She just closed her eyes. “Hannah, are you alright? What happened to you?” Lucas asked but she didn’t say a word. “What did you do to her? Did you drug her?” Lucas asked as he turned to Jeff angrily. “No, I didn’t, I met her this way,” he said and Lucas stared at Jeff angrily and then at Hannah. “Just so you know, you’ve entered my blacklist. Watch your back beca
It was morning and Hannah had woken up early. She woke up feeling energized and all.She had brought out her laptop and sent messages to all the members of the board except Brandon that there was going to be a Meeting today.After which she got dressed. She made sure she looked her best and dressed in a way Brandon would stare at her and would not be able to resist her looks.After which she hopped in her car, and zoomed off to the company. Her car came to a stop at the company, she walked straight to her office.A lot of people seemed to be surprised to see her, they probably thought she was there to hand over the position to Isabella Edward but they didn't know she was there to take over. She checked her time and saw it was time for the meeting. She took her laptop and some important files, after which she walked out of her office and locked the door to the office, taking the key with her so that no one would be able to get in. She walked to the board room and met everyone sitting
Hannah pulled away from the kiss and glared at his charming eyes. She glared at his wet plump lips from the kiss and then walked away from him. Brandon made to move towards her again but she shifted back. Just then Brandon heard his phone ring, he brought out his phone and checked his caller’s ID and then answered the phone call.“I'm on my way,” he said and ended the call and then glared at Hannah one more time before walking out of the room, closing the door behind him. She wondered who had called him. The thought of Isabella being the one who called him made her want to puke. She wondered where Isabella had come from, she was out of town the last time she checked and this was Linda’s plan all this while, Hannah scoffed and shook her head.She moved towards the door to see if it was locked from the outside but it wasn't. She opened the door and walked out of the room. She decided to go downstairs and drink water.She walked downstairs and to her greatest surprise she saw Linda in
Hannah had just gotten home from the event. She didn’t waste any time, instead, she walked straight to her room upstairs and brought out her clothes from the wardrobe.She brought out her luggage and started arranging her clothes in it and suddenly the door to the room opened and Brandon walked in.“You left like that, we were supposed to be in the event together,” he paused when he saw luggage on the bed.“What’s going on here?” Brandon asked in deep shock as he glared at Hannah who was packing her clothes.Hannah raised her head, glared at him, and looked away, proceeding with what she was doing without saying a word.“You are leaving?” Brandon asked and Hannah still didn’t say a word.“I’m talking to you, are you leaving?” He asked again, probably not believing what was happening right in front of him.“I’m no longer needed in the company Brandon, you kicked me out and made your ex-girlfriend the new COO. What do you need me for?” Hannah asked as she raised her head and glared at h
“What?” Hannah opened her mouth wide in shock at what Brandon had said. He was publicly asking her to step down as the COO because he knew if he asked her in private she would not and doing it in public in front of everyone would leave her no choice but to step down. Hannah glared back at the crowd, she caught a glimpse of Linda at the coroner of the hall with an evil smirk on her face. She knew this was all Linda’s doings. She wondered what she had told Brandon that made him want her to step down.Hannah who was already pissed tried moving away from the stage but the Brandon tightened his grip on her wrist and held her from moving, while he kept smiling.“I know you all are wondering who the new COO would be. Well, she’s someone you all know, my long-time friend and a family too, Isabella Edward ....” Brandon muttered and Isabella stepped on the stage with a broad smile on her face. Hannah opened her eyes wide in shock, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “What the hell is g
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
