Chapter 47“Mr. Donald is gonna be here soon, you should be back home before 9:30,” Brandon said and Hannah nodded before walking out of the house.Hannah had taken the kids to school, and after then she went home straight, although she didn’t get home in time because of traffic. She parked her car outside the compound and gave the car key to the chauffeur to park the car in the parking lot while she went inside the house.She noticed a black Porsche parked outside, she didn’t recognize whose car it was but she was sure it was Mr. Donald’s car. He had arrived.Immediately she walked inside the house, she met Brandon and Mr. Donald talking while they shook hands. This means only one thing, he just came not quite long.“Oh, my wife is here! Come here honey” Brandon said and Hannah scoffed inwardly. Honey? Unbelievable, she thought as she walked towards them with a smile on her face.“Hi, Mr. Donald,” Hannah said and shook hands with Donald.“you are looking so beautiful. I asked Brand
Chapter 48“I know, that’s why I’m going to protect her. She’s my responsibility now” Brandon said in response and Liam nodded.“Is the car ready, I need to get to the company” Brandon said “Yes….Mrs. Mackenzie is going to the company too right? Why don’t you guys both go together” Liam said and Brandon then stood up.“I’ll go check if she’s dressed already. You should use my car, the chauffeur will drive both myself and Cinderella to the company” Brandon said as he walked out of his study room to Hannah’s room. He walked inside the room, without knocking…. There he met Hannah struggling to zip up her gown. “Jesus Christ, “ Hannah said in shock as he turned and noticed Brandon watching her. “Shit you scared me, you should knock next time,” Hannah said with a frown on her face.“I’m sorry, I just came to see if you are dressed. I would want us to drive to the company together” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him without saying a word, but then she finally spoke, “I’ll meet you o
Chapter 49He hugged her back, and Rhoda smiled as he felt Brandon hug her in return. He had fallen for her lies, she thought with a devilish smirk on her face. Just then the door burst open revealing Liam. “Brandon” Liam called and they pulled away from the hug. “Sorry to interrupt, I wanted to talk to you about something,” Liam said as his eyes came in contact with Rhoda.“Rhoda, I have work to do. You should go home and rest, I’ll call you when I’m done with work” Brandon said and Rhoda nodded and wiped her crocodile tears. “We should have dinner together later. You can come over to my place for dinner” Rhoda said and Brandon nodded in response. Rhoda smiled at him before walking out of his office. She smiled triumphantly, very soon she was gonna get Brandon to do what she wants and get rid of Hannah. But on second thought, she wonders how Hannah tends to have luck with rich men. She wondered what was special about her. When the hell did both Brandon and Hannah get married, s
Chapter 50Rhoda is seen in her living room drinking alcohol, getting herself drunk. She had prepared dinner for both him and Brandon but he didn’t come and it was midnight already. She tried calling him but his number wasn’t going through….. she was so sure he was with Hannah. The thought of both of them together just wants to make her explode.She had already put sleeping drugs in the drink she kept for him, she planned to let him get tipsy and then they both have sex and she would get pregnant for him but now all her plans are ruined because of that stupid Hannah, she thought angrily.She hated Hannah so much and she was going to hurt her like she did in the past. She still couldn’t believe Hannah had gotten married to Brandon and she has an octuplet that looks so much like Brandon. And she doesn’t go by the name Hannah anymore, she now goes by the name Cinderella Mackenzie…. Rhoda’s investigator had called her during the day after she had left Brandon’s company and told her what
Chapter 51Elizabeth groaned angrily, this bitch reminds me so much of Brandon’s mom. She was the only one who had the gut to challenge her this way but In the end, she got rid of her. Hannah is just a little thing and sooner or later, she’s gonna get rid of her soon.*******When Rhoda had finished having sex, Liam stood up immediately and put on his clothes after resting for some minutes. “Are you leaving so quickly? Please stay with me” Rhoda whined as she lay on the bed while staring at Liam.“I have to get to the company, I'll be late, and just so you know, whatever happened between us just now was a big mistake, you shouldn't overthink it, it won't happen again, “ Liam said and Rhoda laughed. Liam wondered what was so funny about what he had just said. “I didn't know you were this good in bed, damn!” Rhoda said as she licked her lips and stood up from the bed, with her naked body. She walked towards Iiam and placed her finger on his chest, trying to seduce him. Liam swallowe
Chapter 52And how dare she tell him, he’s not her type. He’s every woman’s type. He thought as he reminisced Hannah telling him, he was not her type. He didn’t know why but those words broke his ego, he wondered what her type of man was.He stood and watched as her car zoomed out of the compound. He frowned and hopped into his car and zoomed off to work since he was already dressed for work.Meanwhile, Jessica stood upstairs and watched the whole drama between Brandon and Hannah, she couldn't hear what they were saying but from what she could observe they were probably arguing and Hannah must have said something that hurt Brandon’s pride,She could tell from the expression on his face that he was angry. She smiled as she stared at them. “They don't look bad together, I wonder why grandma is bent on splitting them, “ she thought as she sipped from the cup of coffee in her hands. Grandma Elizabeth had always had eyes on Brandon even when she was out of the country. The relationships
Chapter 53I need to find out where she is and if she’s safe, if not for any reason for the sake of Brandon because she is the only way Brandon could find his mom.Meanwhile, Hannah is seen standing by her car which had a flat tire, raising her phone while searching for the network. She sighed softly and kicked the tire.“Shit, no fucking network here to call for help and this stupid tyre decided to go flat today if all day. I fucking have a meeting to attend with Brandon” she thought as she walked back into her car and sat down. She had left home and suddenly on her way, she had a flat tire. Just a few cars passed by the road she was on and she tried stopping them to help but none paid attention to her as they were at full speed. She wondered how the tyre became flat, the chauffeur was supposed to make sure everything in the car was okay and nothing was wrong. Or maybe something had punched it on her way here, she thought and sighed.Brandon was going to kill her if she didn't atten
Chapter 54Hannah groaned softly as she opened her bleary eyes. She stared at the ceiling and then turned, then she noticed she was in a hospital and she was lying on a hospital bed. “Ma’am, are you alright?” She heard a voice. That voice sounded so familiar. It was the voice that she heard that said she was losing a lot of blood. She turned and saw a strange man staring at her. He looked so young and had beards making him look handsome. His hair was curly. “Who are you?” Hannah asked as she felt a sharp pain in her hands. “My name is Micheal Adams, I brought you to the hospital,” the strange man said and Hannah wondered who he is and why he saved her life, “You should rest, ma'am, they’ve already applied treatment on the hand you were shot. The bullet didn’t go deep, you’ll be fine” Micheal said as Hannah tried sitting up. Hannah nodded and sighed. “I called your husband, he’s on his way. I would be on my way since you are awake already” Micheal said and bowed his head at Hannah
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
