Jessica alighted the car and walked inside the Hotel.Immediately she walked in, a female receptionist walked towards her. “You are Miss Jessica right?” The receptionist asked and Jessica nodded in response. “Come with me, Mr. Jeff asked me to bring you to him when you arrive,” the receptionist said and Jessica nodded in response and trailed behind her. They got to a room and the receptionist planted a soft knock on the door, the door creaked open and Jeff walked out. Jessica turned to the receptionist and smiled at her, then she walked away. Both of them then walked inside the room.“Hey” Jeff muttered and Jessica smiled as she sat on the couch. “You said you needed to see me, so I had to book this hotel for us to talk,” Jeff said calmly like a gentleman. “Yeah,” Jessica said as she stared at Jeff. She was the one who had called Jeff that she wanted to speak with him. She felt she had made a mistake be
Chapter 115A black car screeched to a halt in front of Hannah’s house.Hannah and the kids alighted the car. The drive was silent all through, no one said a word to each other. Immediately, they alighted the car and walked inside the mansion, they walked to their room. Hannah stood and watched them.She decided to go to the kitchen and prepare the kid’s favorite. Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she heard her phone ringing tone. It was a strange number calling. She answered the phone call and then she heard Brandon’s voice. “Brandon! How the hell did you get my number?” She asked surprised. She had changed her number to a new one some days back. “It doesn’t matter. I just wanted to know if you arrived home safely” Brandon said and Hannah hummed. “Since when do you care if I arrive home safely?, well, yes I did” She said as she walked inside the kitchen. “What’s the problem? You don’t sound okay!” Brandon asked in a concerned tone “The kids, they are sad. They are f
Chapter 116“You're gonna act nice to her and that’s the end of this conversation, “ Jeff said and opened the door to walk out of the room, and to his surprise he saw his son, David, who was standing at the door, eavesdropping on all their conversations. “David!” Jeff called surprise wondering what he was doing at the door and if he listened to any of their conversations. “How long have you been standing there?” Jeff asked “I just came and was about to knock when you opened the door,” David said and Jeff nodded in response before walking past him. “David, honey, do you need anything?” Rosa asked as she stood up and walked towards David. “Yes, Grandma, I can’t sleep. Can I stay in your room?” David said and Rosa nodded in response. “Of course honey,” Rosa said and David walked fully inside the room. He climbed the bed and Rosa covered him properly with the duvet while she lay beside him. “I miss Mommy, I wish she was here,” David said out loud. His mommy was the only one who car
Chapter 117Brandon’s car screeched to a halt in front of his company. Brandon alighted the car and gave the key to his security to park the car in the parking lot. He walked inside the company and went straight to his office. Immediately he entered his office, he dropped his phone and removed his suit jacket which he hung on his chair and then sat down. He hadn’t seen Liam since he arrived, he wondered where he had gone. He heard a knock on the door, the door opened and Brandon’s secretary walked in holding some files in his hands. “Sir, I need you to sign these papers,” he said and Brandon asked him to drop the Papers on the table. “Where’s Liam?” He asked “He had gone to meet up with Mr Holland to make the contract official,” he said and Brandon muttered an oh. He remembered asking Liam to meet up with Holland instead of him and Hannah.Just then the door opened revealing Micheal Addams.“I’ll send it for you when I’m done signing the papers,” Brandon said to his secretary w
Chapter 118“Can’t you see he’s bleeding? You are going to kill him” Hannah yelled “He deserves to die, “ Brandon said in response.“Leave now, Liam. Just go somewhere else and clean up” Hannah said and Liam stood up at once and walked out of the office locking the door behind him. Hannah let go of Brandon while staring at him, wondering what had happened between the both of them.She had left home early and dropped the kids at school, only to come to the office to see the CEO pouncing on his PA, weird, she thought.She had just arrived when she heard noises coming from Brandon’s office and decided to see what was happening.“What came over you? You were going to kill him if I hadn’t come here in time. What the hell were you thinking?” Hannah asked with a look of surprise on her face. She knows Liam and Brandon have a brother kind of relationship even if they are not related by blood. They were family and she knew how much Brandon cherished Liam, so now she wondered what happened b
Chapter 119She felt the whole world come crashing down on her. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.She felt tears gathered In her eyes. She pushed back the tears and went back to the dining room. She sat on the chair picking on her food when suddenly she saw Jeff and his mom join her. “Are you alright?” Jeff asked and Jessica nodded in response. She checked her phone and then stood up. “I will be on my way now, I promised my mom I would come home in time,” she said as she stood up. “Sure, I will see you to the door,” Jeff said and also stood up. “It was nice meeting you Jessica, I cannot wait for you to become part of this family,” Rosa said and smiled. Jessica smiled at her in return before walking out of the house.She entered her car and ignited the engine. She zoomed off at once. She got to a place and parked her car on the side of the road. She closed her eyes and let the tears that were in her eyes flow freely. She’s never felt this hurt in her entire life. Whe
Chapter 120Arianna quickly stood up and rushed towards him. “We have a problem, Brandon” Arianna paused as she noticed the look on Brandon’s face.“What’s wrong?” Arianna asked as she noticed the sad look on Brandon’s face with a mixture of anger and disappointment.“Liam was the one who killed Rhoda,” Brandon said and Arianna stared at him in shock. “What? Where is he now?” Arianna asked “He’s in jail,” Brandon said sadly. He loved Liam so much like they were brothers even though they were not related by blood. And what he had done had broken him.“I’m so sorry, Brandon,” Arianna said and he nodded. “It’s nothing, I’ll be in my study room,” he said and with that, he walked away. Brandon was already feeling angry, if she had told him about Jeff dating Jessica, it would have gotten him angry more.She moved to the couch in the sitting roomAnd sat on it, deep thoughts going through her mind. She was thinking about Jessica and how hurt she would feel when she found out about everyt
Arianna is seen climbing down the stairs. She was with the kids in their room when she heard noises and decided to come see what was going on. “What’s going on?” Arianna asked and both Hannah, Brandon, and Jessica turned to Arianna. “Jessica, you are back. I have been trying to call you” Arianna said as her eyes came in contact with Jessica. “You should ask your daughter what she’s been doing with Jeff Mikealson,” Brandon said and stared at them without saying a word and then walked away. “Honey, what happened? What are you doing with Jeff Mickelson? I know you went to his house today” Arianna said and Jessica scoffed “How did you know I was with him at his house? You had me followed?! When I thought today could get any better” Jessica said and sighed softly “Jessica, you don’t have to do what Brandon says. I know Jeff is a monster and he might have hurt you, but you do not have to marry him” Hannah said and tears slipped down Jessica's eyes. “No, He hurt my feelings, all this t
Meanwhile, it was evening and the whole house was now calm. Jessica left the house angrily as she didn't want to set her eyes on Linda again. She wasn't planning on returning home anytime soon.The octuplets were back from school and were playing around. Arianna had gone to spend some time with Micheal.Hannah and Brandon had just returned from the office. They spent some time with the kids, made sure they had dinner, and after which they had gone to their room.After the kids left the dining room, Hannah and Brandon are seen at the dining room discussing. “Do you think you would be able to manage your dad’s company?” Brandon asked as he drank from the glass of water on the table. Hannah’s father had passed his company to Hannah before he died. He had written it in his will.“Yeah, But we are going to be linking both companies together, I think it would be easier to operate that way” Hannah muttered, Nranfon nodded and then beckoned for her to come to sit on his leg and she did.“I'
“Where’s that useless woman called Linda, where is she?” She yelled as she walked inside the house. “Jessica, what’s come over yo…-.” Lucas's speech was interrupted with a dirty slap on his face. Jessica had slapped him.Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock. “What was that for?” He asked, still in shock, at what had happened.“You psychotic liar!” She yelled and threw the pictures at him and then turned to Hannah.“Where’s Linda?” She asked.“She’s outside, I think” Hannah muttered and Jessica bounced out of the house angrily to go find Linda.Hannah stared at Lucas, whose face was red from the slap. He placed his hands on his cheeks while he held the picture in his hands, staring at it.Hannah picked up one of the pictures from the ground and stared at it and then turned to Lucas.Brandon, who had just witnessed what happened, walked towards Hannah and stared at the picture. He was surprised. “You’ve been seeing Mom for a long time now?” He asked as he raised his head and sta
There were different pictures of Humphery and Linda together from when he was a baby to his teenage years. But then she paused and opened her eyes wide with the next picture she saw. “Oh my goodness!” She muttered the moment she picked up the picture. It was a picture of Lucas Linda and Humphrey together.She checked the date on the picture, it was a picture from just last month. She took another picture of them and stared at the date, it was from the last three weeks.“Lucas knew all this while, he knew about her, he knew about Humphery too when he came to our house but then pretended to hate him. He knew everything”, Jessica thought as she put the pictures in her bag. She felt so hurt that Lucas had lied to them. She walked out of the room and saw Humphery was still in the kitchen.“Uhm, I’ll be on my way now, humphrey” Jessica muttered and then walked out of the house. She hopped inside her car and zoomed off.Before Humphery could run out of the kitchen to say a proper goodbye
Jessica and Linda are seen together doing their pedicure and manicure in a room at the mansion, while they both sip the glass of alcohol in a glass beside them.Jessica stared at her mom and then looked away.“Gently” she said to the maid, cutting her nails.“So, where have you been all these years?” Jessica turned to Linda smiled.“You know have been on my own with Humphery, traveling around, going to Europe, Christmas in Miami, new year in Malaysia”“How about the capital of Canberra?” Jessica asked and kindly smiled.“Well, I haven’t been there recently”.“Too bad,” Jessica responded.“Why don’t you ask me what you’d like to ask me? Instead of plying me with alcohol to loosen my tongue. You know I know these tricks already, you got it from me.If there’s something you want to know, I have nothing to hide” Linda said and Jessica scoffed. Thank God, she just needed to go straight to the point.She then asked the maids to leave as they needed some privacy.“Why now?” She asked.“What
Meanwhile, it was morning and Hannah had woken up early to prepare breakfast for the kids and got them dressed for school, after which, the chauffeur took them to school.She then assisted the maid in setting breakfast for the entire family. After which, everyone started coming downstairs one after the other. Everyone was sitting in the dining area except Jessica, Brandon, and Linda.“Where’s Jessica and Brandon?” Lucas asked as he sat down. “Brandon is in his study room, Jessica must be in her room” Hannah muttered and Lucas nodded.Just then they saw Linda climbing down the stairs. She was putting on a short translucent nightwear. Arianna rolled her eyes the moment she saw her. “Good morning” Hannah greeted and Linda glared at her and looked away without responding. Hannah shook her head.“Lisa, Good morning, how was your night?“ Linda asked as she moved towards Lisa and Lisa stood up and hugged her.“My night was fine. How was yours? I hope you like it in your room?” Lisa asked
“Honey, you could if you want to but do it in an open place because I do not trust her, she might kidnap you at any given chance, no offense,” Arianna said Hannah turned to her and she shrugged. Jessica nodded and stood up before going upstairs to her room.Meanwhile, Hannah turned to Arianna.“Seems like the both of you do not like each other…” Hannah muttered and Arianna rolled her eyes.“She’s a bitc*. Truth is when I first came into the Colby house, I came in as a nanny for the kids.Linda and Thomas had just split, did you know she threatened me? She would send people after me thinking I was the reason her husband divorced her” Arianna muttered with an eye roll.“Were you?” Hannah asked.“What? No. I was only working there at that time. Thomas and I only became a thing 6 months after Linda left” Arianna muttered and Hannah nodded and sighed.“I don’t want her in this house. I wish I could kick her out” she muttered and Hannah turned to her.“Mom, give them a chance to get to kno
The moment they got upstairs, he met Lisa standing by the stair rails. He wondered how long she'd been there and if she'd been watching the whole drama take place.“Hello, welcome Ma'am. It's an honor to meet the woman who gave birth to Lucas'' Lisa said as she moved towards Linda and hugged her.Linda was surprised, this was the only person who had welcomed her into the house fully. She wondered who Lisa was.“Thank you sweetheart” Linda muttered and kissed her on her cheeks.“Come on Mom, I need to show you your room,” Lucas said and walked away. Linda smiled at Lisa before walking away.“Who is she? “ Linda asked.“Not someone you should know…” Lucas said as he opened the door to the room and they walked in.“I think I like her, she's so welcoming and nice. She's the only person who has welcomed me here” Linda muttered as she entered the room and then sat on the bed.Lucas turned to her.“I thought I told you not to come to the mansion until I talk to Brandon…”“I couldn't wait, Ca
A week laterMeanwhile, Daniel’s funeral was done and he was buried.Everyone had just returned home from the funeral and was already tired. They decided to eat some food as they were hungry.“I'll set the table, you all can go change your clothes,” Arianna said and they all went upstairs including the kids to change their clothes but Hannah hadn't left, instead she stayed with Arianna as she decided to help her. It's been a week since Daniel died, it's been hard for Hannah and Arianna but with the help of family surrounding them, they were able to push through and not think so much about it. “Hannah, could you pass me the knife?” Arianna asked and Hannah passed her the knife. Just then they both heard a knock on the door.“I'll go get the door…”“No, it's fine, I'll go get it,” Hannah said, cutting off Arianna’s speech and then went to open the door.The moment she opened the door, she saw a woman with red curly hair, with a smile on her face and huge luggage, beside her.“Who are
Meanwhile, Brandon who is seen lying on the bed with Hannah who has her head on his chest heard his phone ring. It was a call from the DPO, he quickly answered the phone call. He heaved a sigh of relief Jeff had been caught, now he would pay for everything by being in jail and justice would be served.“Thank you DPO, I'm on my way,” he said and ended the call. He stared at Hannah who was asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, so he gently removed her head from his chest and helped her lye on the bed.He covered her properly with the duvet and walked out of the room.The moment he walked out, he climbed downstairs and walked outside the house, after which he entered his car and drove off to the police station.The moment he got to the station, he alighted his car and walked inside the station. He went to the DPO’s office. They discussed and the DPO made a call and asked for Jeff to be brought in. A few minutes later Jeff was brought in.Brandon stood up the moment he saw Jeff who was
