This was supposed to be her, Brandon, and Mellisa. This was the kind of family she had wanted to have with Brandon but then Lucas ruined it, she thought angrily.“Lisa, Lisa are you with me?” Lucas jolted her out of her thoughts and she smiled and turned to him.“Yeah,” she muttered. Meanwhile, after Hannah and Brandon were done cooking, with the help of the kids, they arranged the food on the food on the table. “Wow,” the kids muttered at once. They felt so proud of what they’ve done. They looked so happy, extremely happy.Hannah then turned to the maid who was standing behind her and asked her to call everyone downstairs for dinner. “What about grandma?” Jayden asked.“She left for some work, she would be back late” Hannah said in response.Hannah and Brandon helped the kids sit on their chairs and served them. Just then Lucas and Lisa walked towards the table and sat on it. The kids stared at Lisa, wondering who she was but as they saw her with Lucas, they thought maybe she was
“Leaving, who said anything about leaving? I’m here to stay,” she said and Brandon and Hannah gazed at each other.Hannah hummed. Lisa then smiled at Brandon before she stood up and walked away. “Dinner ruined” Hannah sighed and also stood up and asked the maid to clear the dining table before leaving.Meanwhile, Lucas is seen in his room sitting on his bed looking angry, sad, and hurt with lots of thoughts going through his mind.Just then the door burst revealing Lisa. “Wow, still no changes after so many years,” she said and Lucas turned towards her. When she saw the look on his face she paused and then sat beside him.“What were those things you were saying at the dining, about how you and Brandon had sex? How the both of you were together and how nice he was” Lucas said angrily and Lisa tried touching him but then he stood up.“I didn’t mean those words and I only said it to get back at Hannah. She was mocking me, I had to say what I said. Everyone was hating me at the dinnin
Meanwhile, Lisa and Lucas are seen lying on the bed naked, with Lucas asleep and Lisa pretending to be asleep.She stood up from the bed and put on a simple dress, before walking out of the room leaving Lucas all alone.She then walked past Brandon’s study room and saw the door was opened. She decided to go in and see if Brandon was inside the study room.And luckily, he was in the study room answering his phone calls. The moment he saw Lisa walk in, he ended the call immediately.“What do you want Lisa?” Brandon asked as he placed his phone on the table and Lisa smiled.“Come on Brandon, I know you missed me, I get it, you are trying to hide it from your wife but we are here all alone, you can show me how much you missed me,” Lisa said and Brandon stared at her disgustedly.She moved towards him and was about to touch him on his chest when he held her hands and pushed her to the ground.“Rude” she muttered as she stood up from the ground and straightened her dress. “You should leave
“Come on, let’s go to bed,” he said and she nodded, just as they were about to leave, the front door opened revealing Arianna.“Mom” Lucas called and she smiled at him. She raised her eyebrows when she saw Lisa. She recognized her, the bitch who came between her sons, she’s back.“Mom, this is….”“Lisa,” Arianna said, cutting off his speech.“Hi, ma'am, “ Lisa muttered with a smile on her face. This was the first time she was meeting Lucas’s mom in person. Arianna forced herself to smile at her and with that, she walked away. She didn’t like Lisa, and she wouldn’t pretend she liked her, she thought to herself. “What’s wrong?” Lisa asked. “She’s probably had a stressful day,” Lucas said and Lisa nodded in response. A lot of people do not like me here, staying here won’t be as easy as I thought, Lisa said to herself as they walked towards Lucas’s room, he opened the door, and walked in. Meanwhile, Hannah, who had put the kids to sleep, was about to walk out of the kid's room when
Meanwhile, Matthew and Jessica who had left the house had just arrived at the hotel where they would be spending the night. They climbed out of the car they had parked at the parking lot. They walked inside the hotel and paid for a room for the night and the receptionist gave them the key to the room.“Thank you” Matthew muttered and they both walked down the hallway trying to locate the room. When suddenly they saw Jeff walk out of a room in the hotel.“Jeez, I left home so I could avoid the devil mistress and now I met the devil’s incarnate here. Can this day get better?” Jessica muttered the moment she saw Jeff.Jeff paused and raised his eyebrows when he saw Jessica.“You!” He muttered as he tightened his fist. He felt anger rush down his veins the moment he saw her. He remembered how she had ruined his life with that deceitful marriage and used him.He tried moving towards her but then Matthew stood in front of her blocking his way.“Back off man, we don’t want trouble,” Matthe
“Mom, it’s fine. You should take the food to the kids” Hannah said and Arianna nodded before walking away. Lisa rolled her eyes.Hannah stared at her and looked away. She needed to go to the office since mom would be taking care of the kids.She noticed she had left her phone in the room. She decided to go get it. So, she left the file and her handbag she was holding on the dining table and went upstairs to get her phone.Meanwhile, the moment Hannah left, Lisa stood up and went to check the file that she had kept on the table.She took the file up and opened it, she saw Hannah’s signature and her name, Cinderella Mackenzie, and beside it was written COO. “What? COO?” Lisa muttered angrily as she dropped the file on the table. This was the position she wanted Brandon to give her when they were still together but he never for once considered giving it to her and he gave it to this woman in a heartbeat. Who is this woman, and what is it about her, Lisa muttered as she gritted her tee
“Has anyone told you this? I love you so much, Hannah. You are the best thing that happened to this family” Jessica said and everyone glared at her.“What?” She questioned.“Come let’s go inside. That’s enough” Brandon said but Hannah just wouldn’t listen. He sighed softly and then carried her in his arms and walked inside the house.“Put me down Brandon, put me down” Hannah yelled as Brandon carried her inside the house and then asked the maid to bring a towel which a maid did.He put her down and Arianna took the towel and covered her with it.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Brandon asked, looking confused and wondering what had happened.Hannah scoffed.“Me? What the hell is wrong with me? You should ask the ex-fiancée you brought into this house. She fucking spilled coffee on the file I needed to give a client today and you are asking me what is wrong with me?” Hannah yelled and Brandon stared at the file on the dining table which was soaked.He sighed looking speechless, not
Lucas on the other hand stared at Lisa who was staring at Hannah till she was out of sight.“Did you spill coffee on her work file?” He asked and Lisa signed.“Are you doubting me? I would never do that Lucas. I know the stress and all she might have used in drafting it out. I didn’t do it. Besides, isn't she the COO, she could ask anyone to help her redraft” Lisa said and Lucas stared at her.“But Hannah is not the kind of person who would lie to anyone. She doesn’t lie” Lucas said and Lisa stared at him surprised.Wow, so he knows her this much and is defending her, is he trying to call me a liar? Lisa thought with a surprised look on her face.“You should go fix your hair, it’s ruined. I have to be somewhere” He said and then stood up before going upstairs to his room. Lisa rolled her eyes and stood up. She didn’t plan on visiting the saloon any time soon but now because of what Hannah had done to her hair she would have to visit one and also get a new phone, she thought angrily.
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
