Chapter 56“They had entered the warehouse and they met a man shot dead” Liam said and Brandon sighed softly without saying a word. Suddenly he stood up from the chair he was sitting on. “Where to sir?” Liam asked “There’s something I need to take care of, first,” he said and with that, he walked out of the hospital ward. He walked outside the hospital compound, walked towards the garage, hopped in his car, and zoomed off. Liam had run outside the hospital compound and saw Brandon was gone. “Shit!” He muttered as he quickly boarded a taxi and followed him. They had both come in the same car and now Brandon had taken the car away. “Driver, follow that black car, quickly, “ he said and the driver nodded in response. Meanwhile, Brandon is seen in his car, driving at full speed. Anger surged through his brain. Just then his car screeched to a halt in front of Donald’s company. He alighted the car and was about to walk inside the company when he saw Donald walking out with a man in
Chapter 57Shit!! This woman is cheating on me, she has someone else she’s seeing and from the look of things, she’s in love with whoever she was with on the phone. There was this smile on her face the moment she ended the call. Brandon didn’t know why but his heart broke at the thought of it. He didn’t know why he felt sad and disappointed.What was he expecting? Whatever they have between them is a contract marriage, it’s better he keeps things formal with her, it’s a contract marriage and it’s gonna end the moment he finds his mom. He quickly replaced the expression on his face with a cold look.“Hey!” Hannah muttered as she dropped her phone beside her. “Hey, how are you feeling?” Brandon asked “I’m okay, I’m feeling better,” Hannah said and Brandon nodded in response. Hannah noticed the cold look on his face, she wondered what was wrong with him. She quickly shook off the thought, it was none of her concern anyways.Just then Liam’s phone vibrated and Liam quickly checked his p
Chapter 58A black car came to a halt in front of Colby's mansion. Brandon alighted the car and just then his chauffeur rushed towards him.“Welcome sir,” the chauffeur said and Brandon nodded in response as he gave the car key to the chauffeur and asked him to park the car at the car garage the Chauffeur nodded obediently.He walked inside the mansion and there he met the kids sitting at the dining table eating dinner. It was already evening. After Brandon left the hospital he had gone to the company to finish some work he left undone and made sure everything was in place since the COO was shot. “Daddy” the octuplets called at once as Brandon walked towards them. They had seen the news that their mommy had been shot dead, and it made them worried.But then, their grandma called them on the phone and told them Hannah was okay and that she only had a minor injury as she was in the hospital. She would be back the next day. “Hey,” Brandon said as he dropped his suit jacket on one of the
Chapter 59Brandon’s car screeched to a halt in front of the hospital. He alighted the car and walked straight into Hannah’s ward, there he met Hannah pressing her phone, with the maid he had hired sitting beside her while they spoke.Immediately, he entered, he dismissed the maid and told her the chauffeur was waiting outside and would take her home. The maid stood up and bowed his head at once before walking out of the ward.“You came back?” Hannah who hasn't spoken since Brandon arrived finally spoke. “I just wanted to ask you some questions, that's why I came back. We are trying to find who shot you, you can tell me what you saw, it might go a long way in helping us identify the killer” Brandon said Hannah sighed and dropped her phone beside her, and turned to Brandon. “I had a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere and suddenly two men came offering help, I noticed they had guns. I tried running but they shot me” she paused and swallowed hard. Everything replayed in her head. “Wha
Chapter 60Hannah quietly walked towards the bed and sat down, the moment when Brandon had touched her, she didn’t know why, she felt a spark that she couldn’t explain, and fuck shit! He kissed her.Both she and Brandon had felt it. Brandon turned to her and noticed she was quiet all of a sudden and didn’t use the bathroom again. He wondered if he had hurt her in any way. Did he just kiss her? And why didn’t she push him away when he kissed her, she thought silently.Suddenly, the thought of Brandon kissing Rhoda too came rushing into Hannah’s head. How dare he kiss her and after he would go and kiss Rhoda, Hannah felt so angry and irritated at the same time.Brandon stared at Hannah whose breath was becoming erratic and her facial expression had changed to an angry one. He wondered what was going on in her mind. He wondered if he had hurt her in any way.“Should I call the doctor? Are you hurt? Are you feeling any pain?” Brandon asked calmly and Hannah stared at him without saying a
Immediately, his car drove out of the hospital compound, Jeff’s car rode in. Jeff alighted the car and walked inside the hospital to Hannah’s ward. Jeff got to the receptionist and asked for Hannah’s ward but the nurse in charge said there was no woman with the name Hannah in their register. Then he remembered Hannah is married to Brandon Colby. As much as he hated the fact that he was going to call Hannah Mrs. Colby, he felt he had no choice. “Mrs. Colby,” Jeff said to the nurse who checked the register and muttered an oh. “Oh, you mean Cinderella Colby, she’s in room 009,” The nurse said and jeff stared at her confused. Cinderella? When the hell did Hannah start going by the name Cinderella? He thought as he muttered a thank you to the nurse before walking towards the ward. He walked inside his ward and to his surprise he saw Hannah sitting on the bed with a guy standing close to her. Hannah was smiling at the guy. Jeff stared closely at the guy and saw it wasn’t Brandon
She knows who it was and who had wanted to get rid of her from the first day they had met. It’s no other person than Elizabeth Colby.“It’s Elizabeth Colby, I knew she never liked me but I never thought she would go to that extent of wanting me dead,” Hannah said as she sighed softly. “You should tell your husband about it, he might be able to do something, “ Micheal said and Hannah nodded negatively “No, I can’t. Brandon is having issues with his grandmother, this would only make it worst. I do not want to split his family” Hannah said calmly.Split his family? His Grandma is the one trying to split the family, how could she be so heartless and how could you still have a good heart when someone is trying to kill you? If I had the opportunity to do things my way, Elizabeth would be lying dead, but he’s only following orders as he was paid to, Micheal thought.“Do you want me to take care of her?” Micheal asked. He just wanted the order and for two minutes Elizabeth Colby would be
It was morning and a new day. Brandon had spent the night with Hannah at the hospital. He wanted Hannah to be discharged and taken home, which the doctor had agreed to but they had to hire a private doctor to take care of her while at home.Hannah and Brandon are seen walking out of the hospital. Brandon had carried Hannah in his arms as he didn’t want her to walk on her bare foot. “A lot of people are staring at us, Brandon. It was my hand that was shot, not my leg” Hannah said but Brandon paid no attention to her. He carried her to his car and dropped her inside the car.“You do not have any weight, you should try eating more in the future,” Brandon said as he closed the car door and walked to his driver's seat, opened the car door, and walked in.“What? How dare you say that? I had so much weight before I agreed to this contract marriage of yours, you’ve been the one stressing me out that’s why I have lost so much weight” Hannah said and Brandon scoffed.“Are you trying to say I’m
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
