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
Chapter 224“Don’t go, stay with me. I need you” Hannah said and Brandon nodded and held her hands. Just then she went silent. He let go of her hands and hopped inside the car, he ignited the engine and zoomed off at once.Meanwhile, the moment Brandon left with Hannah, Lucas turned to Jeff angrily.“And who the hell told you I’m in love with Hannah” he asked as he moved towards him and gripped him by his collar then punched him by his mouth.“Even a blind man can see it by the way you stare at her” Jeff said as he spit out blood and Lucas punched him again.He kept punching Jeff but just then Thomas pulled Lucas away from Jeff.“What do you think you are doing?” He asked as he held Lucas, and then turned to Jeff who was bleeding.“What the hell is going on here?” Thomas asked but then Lucas didn’t say a word, instead, he gave Jeff one last glance before walking away.Thomas moved towards Jeff and helped him stand up from the ground.“Are you okay? What happened? You are bleeding” He
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
Hannah and Brandon had left for the company after they had breakfast. They had left in Brandon’s car.The car came to a stop in front of the company and They both alighted the car and walked inside the company to their respective offices.Hannah on the other hand had begun work immediately after she arrived and also had an interview with a media person inside her office.After she was done with the interview, she left the company to go see a client she had scheduled with a hotel.She had gotten to the hotel and was led by the receptionist to the VIP area. She had gotten there and met a male figure sitting in the chair while operating his phone.She wasn’t expecting to see a male. It was a female.“Hello, Mrs Colby…” the man said immediately as he caught a glimpse of her and stood up immediately.“Hi…” Hannah muttered looking confused wondering who the man was.“Oh, you must be wondering why Mrs Caro Clinton is not here. She had to attend our daughter’s school ceremony: and I had to co
It’s been a week since everyone had found out Lucas wasn't a Colby, instead, she was a product of her mother’s infidelity with the former driver.Hannah had woken up early and prepared not much breakfast since it was just her, Jessica, Brandon, and Lucas at the house.Arianna had left for New York with her boyfriend, Micheal, and the kids. Linda hadn’t shown her face since what happened at the baby’s shower. Everyone understood he was down and needed space. Anyone would be down after what had happened. Imagine finding out the baby you thought was yours wasn’t yours, the same day you found out your father wasn’t your biological father.After Hannah had finished setting up the table, she called the maids to inform everyone that breakfast was ready which they did and in no time everyone was coming downstairs for breakfast.“I miss the kids so much, the house looks so boring without them,” Jessica who is seen climbing down the stairs muttered and then sighed as she moved towards the dini
Meanwhile, everyone was waiting for the party to start and just then Linda picked up the microphone calling everyone's attention to her.“I know a lot of you might be wondering while I’m the one holding the mic, well I’m a good MC and there’s nothing I can’t do,” she said and everyone laughed.“Well, it’s my grandchild's gender reveal today and we are going to find out what the gender is. If it’s a boy or a girl. Although I would be happy if it’s both, “ she said and everyone in the room burst into laughter..“But first I would call the father and the mother forward. Lucas and Kara, please step forward,” Linda said and they Both walked forward to the stage, where everyone was staring at them.“Well, this beautiful lady here is carrying my son’s child and as we know, none of us is aware of the gender and we are going to find out, today, here and now,” Linda said with a smile on her lips and Jessica who was staring at her from upstairs rolled her eyes. “Time for the reveal,” Linda said
It was morning and the house was busy, unlike every other day. Today was the day of the baby shower and Kara and Lucas could be seen running around, trying to get everything in order.Hannah and Brandon hadn’t gone to work today. No one left the house, as they needed to be available at the baby shower.They had to be there for Lucas while they revealed the gender of the baby. Linda could be seen standing with Kara while they told the electrical man where to put the projector to reveal the gender of the baby.Arianna could be seen in the dining room with Hannah watching the whole scene.“Who doesn’t know she’s a devil in sheep's apparel would think she’s supportive. I know she’s just trying to be close to her, so she could find a way to get rid of her,” Arianna said as she rolled her eyes and Hannah chuckled. Lucas could be seen standing at the stair rails all dressed up, while he glared at Linda and Kara bond together. He was glad Linda was making progress and wasn’t rude to the mot
