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
Chapter 205He sighed deeply and carried her in his arms ignoring her tantrums. He carried her upstairs to her room and placed her on the bed. “Next time, you should watch where you are heading, stop being clumsy” he said and she rolled her eyes. “You should rest and not come to the company, I would go see the client myself,” he said in the calmest and sweetest tone ever. Hannah became silent as she didn’t say a word. He stared at her waiting for her to say something, probably anything but she didn’t. He then decided to leave but just as he was about to leave, Hannah called him, making him pause. “Brandon” she called and he turned to her.“How are you feeling? Does your stomach hurt? Where did you sleep last night? I came to check on you in your study room last night but you weren’t there” Hannah said and he glanced at her for a few seconds before he finally spoke. “I’m okay, at least I’m better than last night,” he said, ignoring the other questions she asked. “I’ll be on my
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
