Chapter 197“Come in,” Brandon, whose attention was on the files on his table, said without raising his head and Isabella walked in. “Hey, Brandon” Isabella muttered and Brandon sighed the moment he heard her voice. He raised his head and stared at her face which was plastered with lots of makeup.“Hey, you didn’t tell me you were coming,” Brandon said and she smiled while trying to adjust her dress making herself almost naked but Brandon was not even paying attention to whatever she was wearing or doing. He kept staring at her face which was looking funny from the makeup, he had wanted to laugh but he quickly held himself from laughing at her. Her face looked so funny from the make up.“I tried calling you but you weren’t picking up, I heard about your father, I’m so sorry for your loss,” Isabella said as she moved closer to Brandon’s table.Brandon sighed wondering how she heard about it but then he wasn’t surprised, news flies faster here in Atlanta.“Thank you, what are you doin
Chapter 198“It’s fine, I wasn’t watching too, I was on my phone, it wasn’t your fault,” Hannah said as she managed to pick up the little she could and stood up now facing the man. “You can throw those away, I can get you new ones “ he said and Hannah gave him a gentle smile. “No, it’s fine, I just need to wash them and it will all be normal, it’s fine,” Hannah said in response, still trying to remember where she had seen him before but she just couldn’t remember. “I insist, Mrs, please let me pay for the damages,” the young man said and even after much persuasion, she refused to let him buy new stuff for her. “What about the ones on the floor, Mr? Alot of people are out there hungry and I cannot just waste them all because they fell on the ground. They are still good, I just need to wash them, thank you” Hannah said, and one of the security men who had noticed what Hannah bought was all on the ground quickly rushed inside the mall and took a nylon then walked towards Hannah and
Chapter 199Meanwhile, Brandon walked inside the kid's room and met them playing with their toys. “Daddy” they called happily the moment they saw Brandon and rushed towards him. “Oh sweethearts, I hope Daddy didn’t disrupt your game,” Brandon asked with a smile on his face. “No Daddy, you didn’t. You should join us in playing” Jayden said as both Allison and Aubrey held Brandon’s hands and pulled him towards the game. Brandon stared at the game and hummed and then sat on the floor and started playing with them. “Yeah, Daddy wins” Jayden clapped and they all laughed and played again. “Yeah, I win,” Aubrey yelled and Allison frowned. “No, I won,” Allison said and Aubrey grown “No, I won, you didn’t play it properly, so I won,” Allison said and they started arguing.“It’s fine kids, we could play it again,” Brandon said but both Allison and Aubrey were already angry. Brandon sighed softly. “I have an idea, what if we go play with Mommy in her room? It would be boys against girls
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
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
