Chapter 200“Dress up, we are going to a banquet party,” Brandon said and gave one last glance at Hannah before walking out of the room.Hannah rolled her eyes and walked inside the bathroom, took her bath, and walked out of the bathroom.She dried her hair and her body after which she brought out a gown from her wardrobe and put it on. She applied a little makeup and other necessities after which she styled her hair. When she was done dressing up she wore her perfume, took her bag, and then walked out of the room.Just as she walked out of the room, she saw Brandon coming out of the kid's room looking all dressed. He looked so handsome in his classic black tuxedo, she had almost lost in his handsomeness but she quickly composed herself and walked past him. Brandon on the other hand felt his heart beat increase the moment he saw Hannah, she looked so pretty and sexy. He’s never seen a woman this beautiful and charming in all his life. He had gone to the kid's room and had told the
“Brandon stop” Hannah muttered and pulled away from the kiss. She stared at the man who was a little bit drunk.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry,” he said and she stared at him and looked away. He sat up properly on the chair and wore his seatbelt himself.Hannah ignited the engine and zoomed off, throughout the ride, she kept stealing glances at Brandon who was so quiet and wasn’t saying a word.He looked so uncomfortable like he was in deep pain.“Are you alright?” She asked with a concerned look on her face. “Yeah, I’m fine,” he said but his facial expression said something else. He wasn’t okay as his stomach hurt and he felt like he was going to throw up. The drink he had taken was too much and he didn’t have a strong stomach.“I’m taking you to the hospital now,” Hannah said looking scared. She’d never seen Brandon this calm before and he was sweating profusely.“No no, I’m fine. I just need to get home and rest” he said and Hannah stared at him for a few seconds and then
Chapter 202Meanwhile, Isabella is seen in her room looking so furious with her best friend sitting beside her. “You wouldn’t believe it when I tell you he doesn’t even look at me or talk to me. He doesn’t find me attractive, not even one bit.I’m I not beautiful enough? A lot of men are dying to be with me and I keep turning them down because of Brandon yet he doesn’t want to notice me.My father said he would talk to him about marrying me but he's doing nothing” she said as tears gathered in her eyes. “Isabella may be your father.….”“I'm trying Lena. I'm trying to get his attention. His grandma said he loves me and doesn't love his wife but anytime I'm with him, he doesn't show me any affection or love” she said, cutting off her best friend’s speech. “You are beautiful Isabella. Of course, you are. You are successful, you are rich and there are lots of good men out there who would treat you right, so why not go for one of them? It's not always gonna be Brandon because he obvious
Chapter 203Meanwhile, the moment Jeff left, Rosa became numb, Wilson is dead!She couldn't believe what she had just heard. When she thought everything was going to get better and maybe Jeff would give her a chance and also have the chance to talk to Wilson, now everything has come crumbling down on her. Maybe this is karma trying to get back at me for every bad thing I have done, she thought as she sat on the ground and burst into tears.Meanwhile, David is seen in his room crying.He's never felt so sad in his life, since the death of his mom, he's felt so lonely. His daddy never pays attention to him, nor treats him like his son, all he does is shout at him to go to his room.He misses his mom so much, he wished she was still alive, he thought as tears slipped down his cheeks. He wiped his tears and then decided to change into his pajamas. He needed to go to sleep. He stood up and walked towards his wardrobe, he opened it and took his blue pajamas when suddenly a piece of pape
Chapter 204It was morning and Hannah had woken up so early so she could get the kids ready for school and go to the company. She took her bath and did her normal morning routine before going downstairs to prepare breakfast. After she was done, she went to her kid's room. Woke them up and helped them get dressed for school. After which they went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, Hannah asked the chauffeur to drop them off at school and promised to come pick them up herself when it was closing time. She stood outside and waved them as the chauffeur drove up. She walked back inside the house and walked towards the dining table. She needed to finish her cup of coffee before going upstairs to get dressed for work. She took a sip from her coffee and then turned when she heard someone climbing down the stairs. She thought it was Brandon but when she saw it was Jessica she sighed. “Hey,” she muttered as Jessica walked towards her and sat on the chair.“Hey,” she said calmly i
Chapter 205He sighed deeply and carried her in his arms ignoring her tantrums. He carried her upstairs to her room and placed her on the bed. “Next time, you should watch where you are heading, stop being clumsy” he said and she rolled her eyes. “You should rest and not come to the company, I would go see the client myself,” he said in the calmest and sweetest tone ever. Hannah became silent as she didn’t say a word. He stared at her waiting for her to say something, probably anything but she didn’t. He then decided to leave but just as he was about to leave, Hannah called him, making him pause. “Brandon” she called and he turned to her.“How are you feeling? Does your stomach hurt? Where did you sleep last night? I came to check on you in your study room last night but you weren’t there” Hannah said and he glanced at her for a few seconds before he finally spoke. “I’m okay, at least I’m better than last night,” he said, ignoring the other questions she asked. “I’ll be on my
Chapter 206The moment Hannah got home, she and the kids alighted the car and walked inside the house. “Go to your room, I need to prepare dinner,” she said to the kids who nodded and went to their room. She sighed, as the thought of Rosa apologizing to her came into her head. Rosa would never apologize to her no matter what, she was shocked at the same time, and she wondered what came over her. And how could she expect her to forgive her after everything she’s done, never, she thought angrily.And just then the sound of the front door opening jolted her out of her thoughts. She turned and to her surprise, she saw a strange man walk into the house.It wasn’t just any strange man, it was the man from the grocery store who had been stalking her.“You! What are you doing here? Are you following me?” She yelled and the strange man smiled.“Hey calm down pretty, I mean no harm,” he said in a calm tone scrutinizing the whole house.“How did you even get in here?” Hannah asked, still surp
Chapter 207The moment he climbed upstairs to his room, everyone turned and stared at each other. Brandon, who was looking furious, walked upstairs to his study room. Arianna went after him.Hannah sighed and decided to go prepare dinner for her kids as they would be hungry and waiting for her. “This doesn’t seem like a good one,” Matthew said and Jessica nodded.“My brother, Lucas, is a psychopath. We didn’t talk about him more often because of how he died, rather how we thought he died.And Brandon had been feeling guilty about it, So, not to bring up memories, Everyone had decided not to talk about it” Jessica said as she and Matthew both walked back upstairs to her room and Matthew hummed. “He’s going to ask questions about you, please do your best to avoid him, while you are here,” Jessica said and Matthew nodded in response. “Jessica, I will be going to see my aunt today and will be spending the night there, she’s been calling and saying she misses me,” Matthew said “Oh, it
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
