“What?” a voice spoke from behind and they saw Brandon and Hannah standing behind them, with Mellisa with them.Jessica swallowed into nothing knowing she was in a big trouble.“Brandon..” Jessica called. “What did you make my kids do?” Brandon asked with a frown on his face.“I didn’t force them into doing anything. They were the ones who brought up the idea of keeping an eye on Lisa and searching her room” Jessica said and Brandon stared at her with a speechless look. “And you let them do it? They are kids, Jessica” Brandon yelled. “I wish they would act like kids, it would be better,” Jessica said with an eye roll. Lisa stared at Jessica and then remembered all that had happened yesterday, it was then it dawned on her that the kids had drawn her out of her room so they could search it. She wondered if they found something else.“You set me up with the kids” Lisa yelled. “Shut up!!” Everyone yelled at her and she joined her lips together as everyone was now staring at her. Sh
“Yes, I knew. I knew she was my child. I knew she was our child and I was telling you the truth, I never lied, and I would never lie about *OUR* child” Lisa said and everyone went silent while staring at her. “I never lied to you Brandon, Hannah and Lucas were trying to set me up” Lisa added and Brandon turned to Lucas and Hannah. From the look on Brandon’s face, Hannah knew Brandon believed Lisa.Hannah sighed and gave both Brandon and Lisa one last glance before walking outside the house to the pool area. “Don't tell me you believe her,” Lucas said but Brandon didn't say a word. Lucas shook his head before walking away.Brandon stared at Lucas till he was out of sight and moved towards Lisa then untied her from the chair.Lisa heaved a sigh of relief and made to stand up but then she tripped and was about to fall on the ground when Brandon held her.“Are you okay?” he asked and she nodded as she wrapped her hands around his neck.“I…. I feel dizzy. I need to get to my room” she sa
“What the hell has come over you, Brandon?” Hannah yelled and he stared at her and looked away. He gave them both one last glance before walking away. Hannah turned to Lucas.“Are you okay?” she asked and he nodded and smiled.“You should go talk to him. As much as I hate to say this, he loves you, you should talk to him” he said and Hannah nodded in response.Just then she saw a black car screech to a halt in front of the mansion, the octuplets, and Arianna alighted the car.She walked towards Arianna and the kids with a deep frown on her face.“What's wrong?” Arianna asked as she noticed the look on her face.“These kids are becoming something else. I heard what you guys did” Hannah said and the kids looked at her looking confused.“What are you talking about mom, we didn't do anything. We just got back from school” they muttered at once with a confused expression on their faces.“Oh please stop that innocent look. I know you were the one who asked Jessica to do a DNA test for Mell
“Hannah” he called and she turned to him. “What do you want?” she asked as she turned swiftly and then he moved closer to her. He stared at her and suddenly he smashed his lips on. She pulled away from the kiss with a frown on her face and moved back from him.“What do you want Brandon, this is my room, you should leave,” she said as she looked away from him trying to avoid his looks.“I didn’t mean to hit Lucas, I’m sorry.”“You should be apologizing to him not me,” she said and was about to leave but then he held her hand and she paused and turned to him.“I’m sorry alright. I have never for once doubted you and I do believe everything you said. I believe you, I was just confused and I promise I believe you” he paused while staring at hannah.She stared at his eyes and all the anger she’s felt for him disappeared at once.“It’s fine… I’m not angry at you” she said and he smiled and then hugged her. She rolled her eyes and then pulled away from the hug.Just then he heard his phone
“I think someone is trying to bring down my company in New York,” she said and Micheal signed.“You should ask Brandon and Hannah for help, he might be able to help”“No, I can’t. It would take a lot of resources to help me. I don’t want to bug him with my problem. Promise me you won’t tell him” she said and he paused and nodded.“Fine, what are we going to do?” Micheal asked.“I need to go back to New York and you will be coming with me. I need to find out who is behind this” Arianna said and Micheal nodded.She sighed softly.“I wonder who would hate me so much and want my company down. It’s definitely not Lisa. She isn’t capable and she’s dull when it comes to anything related to business.It’s someone with upper hands that is trying to mess up with me” she said as she placed her hands on her forehead looking so tired and stressed.“We will find whoever it is and fix the problem, I promise,” he said as he raised her chin with his finger.They both stared at each other as tension fl
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt, I’ll be outside” she said and quickly walked out of the room closing the door behind her.“Oh my goodness!” Hannah muttered with a surprised look on her face. She never expected to see the both of them together this way although she knew Micheal had feelings for Arianna. She could see it in his eyes whenever he stared at Arianna..She smiled and went downstairs to the kids who were still eating.“Mom, where’s grandma?” The kids who were almost done asked. “Uhm, she’s still sleeping, I would be taking you guys to school myself…”“There would be no need for that. I would be taking them to school myself” They heard Arianna’s voice and turned to see her climbing down the stairs. She was putting on a white long robe.“Grandma good morning” the kids greeted and Arianna smiled at them.“Hey Mom,” Hannah said.“Hey,” she muttered and Hannah smiled at her.“I just need to change my clothes, I’ll be back in a bit, but first, can I talk to you, Hannah?” A
“Oh no!” Hannah muttered as she felt something hard and big touching her from below.She felt her heartbeat increase at once. “Brandon” she called as she swallowed into nothing with a nervous look on her face. “Are you scared of it? You would like you, I promise” he said calmly, more like a whisper into her ears.“You pervert” she yelled with her cheeks turning red and her breath becoming erratic. She felt like her heart was about to pull out of her chest at that moment in time.Brandon stared at her and then smiled before pulling away from her.“You should get dressed. We will be meeting up with Mr. Daniel by noon today, he rescheduled because he won’t be available this morning. The contract has been drawn out” he said as he gave Hannah one last glance and winked at her before walking away.Hannah heaved a sigh of relief the moment he walked out of the room.She felt like disappearing a few minutes ago. She smiled as she recalled when his manhood touched her below. She quickly sh
He pauses and got down on one knee. He looked into her eyes and said, "I love you, and I want you to be my woman" he said and Arianna stared at him for a few seconds without saying a word.Micheal felt his heart beating fast as there was no response from her. He felt she was going to reject his proposal.He had always loved Arianna but he never dared to and last night he had the courage to and he kissed her and she kissed him back and that led them to the bed.He wants to assure her he would never play with her feelings, he would always stand by her and that last night meant everything to him. He blinked twice when she moved back, staring at him with no expression on her face. Maybe I was wrong, she doesn’t feel the same way I fe, Micheal thought as he felt his heart break into pieces.“I could give you time to think about it,” he said.“No, I don’t need time. I love you too Micheal, I just…..”“You love me then say yes,” he said, cutting off her speech and Arianna sighed and nodded
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
