Chapter 114Meanwhile, A black car screeched to a halt in front of a hotel. 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
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
