This isn’t going to end well, Hannah thought.“Hello Jessica, what’s wrong? You look mad, even your hair looks mad, I hope you slept well” Lisa said and Jessica frowned.“No, I didn’t because there's been the smell of rats since you arrived at this house and it’s making me nauseous, you dirty chihuahua,” Jessica said and Hannah sighed. “And where is your gigolo, he's not with you this morning. Oh I’m shocked or is he tired of following you around like a pet” Lisa said and Jessica Clenched her fist.“He’s not a gigolo and I would remind you again, I’m married. Not everyone is a whore like you who sleeps around with men they make eye contact with” Jessica said and Lisa gritted her teeth.“There are kids here” Hannah muttered and they both composed themselves immediately.Mellisa stared at Jessica and then looked away with a look of fear on her face. Jessica was looking so scary at that moment and she could chop off Lisa’s head at that moment if she could.The octuplets stared at Meliss
“What did he find-“ “He found out Lisa had been living on the outskirts of Atlanta and she had stayed alone all these years without a child. She didn’t have any child with her,” she said and Hannah raised her eyebrows confused. “She lied that she had left because of the kids and had been taking care of her. She was never with any child nor Mellisa. She stayed alone. Now, the question is, Does the child belong to Brandon? I don’t think the child is Brandon’s. This is one of her schemes again” Arianna said and Hannah sighed. “What are we going to do?” Hannah asked.“I need to tell Brandon,” Arianna said.“No, we can’t. He already believes the child is his and we do not have any concrete proof yet, we need more evidence” Hannah said and Arianna sighed. “Micheal is still doing more findings,-““Till then we would tell no one about what you found,” Hannah said and Arianna nodded in response.Meanwhile, the octuplets and Mellisa could be seen in the room. Mellisa had joined them in pl
The look on Brandon’s face changed. Was Hannah really with Lucas last night? Was that the reason she had come into the room so late and tired?She knew Lisa was lying to him and nothing else. She’s trying to get to his head again. He wasn’t gonna let it work, he thought.Hannah who had just walked out of Arianna’s room went to her room and took her bath while she changed into her office wear and went to the company.Brandon on the other hand had gotten dressed too and went to the company.Meanwhile, Jessica who was still looking furious had wanted to go upstairs to her room.She was about walking past the octuplets room when the door opened revealing the octuplets.She gave them a weird look wondering why they were staring at her like that.“Why ain’t you guys in school?” Jessica asked.“Public holiday, school resumes tomorrow,” Allison said to Jessica and she hummed.“Okay then,” she said and was about to walk away when they spoke, making her stop.“We need your help, Aunt Jessica,”
“Not everyone is a whore like you, Lisa. Go get something doing” he said and with that, he walked away.Lisa stared at him angrily as jealousy rushed through her veins.Hannah all the time, I wonder what's so special about her.Lisa rolled her eyes and then walked out of the house, there she met Mellisa talking to the chauffeur.“I told you not to talk to strangers in this house” she muttered with an angry look on her face.“And you, why are you here? Ain’t you supposed to be driving Brandon to work” Lisa said to the chauffeur who was staring at her.“Brandon doesn’t like me driving him all the time, he loves driving by himself,” he said and she rolled her eyes.“Whatever. I need the key to the black Bentley, I need to get some clothes for Brandon’s child” Lisa said as she stretched her hands forward:“Brandon would kill me if I gave you the key to the car,” he said and she scoffed.“And you would be fired in a split second when I tell him you refused to let me take the car to take hi
Chapter 261“Who was calling?” He asked as he walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist.“I don’t know, you should check it yourself,” she said and he nodded and picked up the phone before going to the balcony to answer the phone call.Tears welled up in her eyes as pain and anger surged through her spine.She needed to find out who Matthew was and why he was hiding his real identity. She wondered if their first meeting was a coincidence or a setup.She then stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. She brought out her phone and texted one of her old-time investigator.“I need you to find out who Alexander Robert is” she texted and then went back to the room and laid on the bed. Just then Matthew walked back inside the room.“Are you alright?” He asked as he dropped his phone by the bedside, and walked towards Jessica, and sat beside her on the bed.“Yeah, I'm alright, I'm okay-”“I would be heading out to see my aunt, I would be back later in the day,” he
“It's about Grandma Samantha, her sickness is getting worse and if the surgery is not carried out on time, she might die… Adrianna will lose the only family she's got left” the nurse said with a worried look on her face: Lisa stared at her without saying a word.She could hear Adrianna’s and her grandma’s laughter. They sounded so happy. She knows how much Melissa loves her grandmother. If Melissa loses her grandma, she might never be the same again and she was too young to lose the only family she's got left.The reason she had agreed to act as Mellisa was so she could pay her grandma's bills. Samantha was the only family Mellisa had left, and her dying would make her lonely, she thought memories of how her mom had died came running into her head.She felt tears gathered in her eyes but then she quickly pushed it back and then stood up.“Send me the bills, let's transfer her to the best hospital here in Atlanta and make sure she gets the surgery,” she said and the nurse nodded and
Meanwhile, Lisa had just woken up from her deep sleep and was feeling hungry, so she decided to go downstairs to get some food. The moment she got downstairs, the door burst open revealing Jessica. She was looking sad and angry at the same time and her eyes were swollen like she had just cried.She walked past her and climbed the stairs going to her room. Hmm, she’s calm today and didn’t try to attack me, Lisa thought and then sighed.Just then the front door opened again revealing Hannah. She had just returned from the company and she was looking so tired. Hannah stared at Lisa and was about to walk past her when she spoke, making her pause. “I know you are having an affair with Lucas..” she said and Hannah turned to her looking perplexed. “You don’t need to hide it anymore, I know you love Lucas, you are everything just like me Hannah, but yet you deny it,” Lisa said and Hannah scoffed.“You must be crazy. You need help Lisa, you are depressed and jobless and do not know what y
Meanwhile, the octuplets are seen in the room, they are already done playing games and are talking about their schools. Suddenly, Allison took the hairbrush and decided to brush Mellisa’s hair. “Your hair looks scattered, can I brush it?” She asked and Mellisa nodded giving her permission to. She brushed the hair and then helped her style it in two ponytails. She took her hair band and tied it on the ponytail and then dropped the brush on the dressing table beside her bed.“Wow, you look so pretty,” Allison said as Mellisa stared at herself in the mirror and then smiled. She loved the hairstyle.The octuplets stared at each other as they stared at the hairbrush which contained a few strands of Mellisa’s hair.Meanwhile, Lisa was seen by the pool when she saw Matthew’s car drive inside the compound.He alighted the car while he was on a phone call.“I lied to her that I’m going to see my aunt, can you please stop calling me so she won’t be suspicious?” Matthew said as he closed the
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
