Chapter 120Arianna quickly stood up and rushed towards him. “We have a problem, Brandon” Arianna paused as she noticed the look on Brandon’s face.“What’s wrong?” Arianna asked as she noticed the sad look on Brandon’s face with a mixture of anger and disappointment.“Liam was the one who killed Rhoda,” Brandon said and Arianna stared at him in shock. “What? Where is he now?” Arianna asked “He’s in jail,” Brandon said sadly. He loved Liam so much like they were brothers even though they were not related by blood. And what he had done had broken him.“I’m so sorry, Brandon,” Arianna said and he nodded. “It’s nothing, I’ll be in my study room,” he said and with that, he walked away. Brandon was already feeling angry, if she had told him about Jeff dating Jessica, it would have gotten him angry more.She moved to the couch in the sitting roomAnd sat on it, deep thoughts going through her mind. She was thinking about Jessica and how hurt she would feel when she found out about everyt
Arianna is seen climbing down the stairs. She was with the kids in their room when she heard noises and decided to come see what was going on. “What’s going on?” Arianna asked and both Hannah, Brandon, and Jessica turned to Arianna. “Jessica, you are back. I have been trying to call you” Arianna said as her eyes came in contact with Jessica. “You should ask your daughter what she’s been doing with Jeff Mikealson,” Brandon said and stared at them without saying a word and then walked away. “Honey, what happened? What are you doing with Jeff Mickelson? I know you went to his house today” Arianna said and Jessica scoffed “How did you know I was with him at his house? You had me followed?! When I thought today could get any better” Jessica said and sighed softly “Jessica, you don’t have to do what Brandon says. I know Jeff is a monster and he might have hurt you, but you do not have to marry him” Hannah said and tears slipped down Jessica's eyes. “No, He hurt my feelings, all this t
Hannah sighed softly and walked out of the study room leaving Jessica and Brandon all alone. Their mind was already made up and there was nothing she could do about it.It wasn’t like she had a soft spot towards Jeff because he deserved whatever was coming for him, but instead, all she could think about was Jeff's Son, David. David was still a child, if Jeff went down, his child was gonna suffer. He’s still a kid and doesn’t deserve such. She just wished David was not Jeff’s child and was hers. Jeff doesn’t care about his child, because if he did, he wouldn’t do whatever he was thinking about.She sighed as she climbed down the stairs. Micheal was about to leave. “I will be on my way, Hannah,” Micheal said and Hannah smiled. “It was nice seeing you today,” Hannah said and Micheal nodded in response, before opening the door and walked out of the house.A few minutes after he walked out, the door opened again, and then the Devil in black walked in, dragging a luggage inside the hou
“No, Alright, No!” Hannah said and tried pushing Brandon away when her towel suddenly loosened and fell from her chest leaving her naked in front of Brandon. Brandon felt his heartbeat increase and his manhood became so hard as a rock as he stared at the petite woman who was now naked in front of her. She looked so beautiful, he thought as he was lost staring at her collar bone, down to her succulent breast, down to her flat tummy. He felt he was losing control at that moment.He quickly turned and looked away.“I’m sorry, I…. I… I am sorry” he said, still looking away. Hannah, who felt so shy and angry at the same time, quickly picked up the towel and wrapped it around her chest and then took her clothes. She walked inside the bathroom and quickly put on her clothes, when she came out of the bathroom, Brandon Was already gone. She sighed softly and sat on the bed, that bastard, she was sure going to kill Brandon when next she saw him, she thought as she felt so nervous, her hear
She kept trying to help him stand up and all of a sudden, she fell on top of him and their lips came in contact. Brandon became silent as he stared at her beautiful face. It was like all the pain he felt had disappeared, it was then Hannah realized he’d been pretending all along like he was in a deep pain.Hannah quickly stood up and stared at Brandon, not knowing what to say. “I know you are pretending to be In pain,” Hannah said angrily, hands akimbo and Brandon sighed and stood up. “Okay now you’ve caught me, I wasn’t pretending though, my chest hurts,” Brandon said as he stood up and then moved a bit toward Hannah. He took her hands and placed them on the left side of his chest, where the heart is located. Hannah could feel his heart beating. She stared at his face as she felt a strange feeling running through her veins. Her eyes moved to his lips and then to his Adam’s Apple, it was then she realized how handsome and breathtaking the man standing in front of him was.“Hanna
“So, Jessica, have you guys fixed a date for the wedding yet?” Krystal asked “We haven’t. But you know what, you are eager for this to happen, so I’m I. So, why are we waiting? Why not start planning now, the venue is available already” Jeff said and Jessica stared at him and laughed, nervously. “Well, I can hardly plan a wedding in three weeks,” Jessica said in response. “But your brother and Hannah did theirs in a few days,” Jeff said and Jessica raised her eyebrows “And how did you know about them doing their marriage in a few days?” Jessica asked “This is Atlanta, news flies around,” Jeff said and Jessica turned to Krystal. She remembered telling her how Brandon had gotten a wife in a few days and boom they were married. She didn’t tell her that it was a contract marriage. “It’s impossible to plan an event of this season in just three weeks,” Jessica said and Jeff laughed. “You are a Colby. If you throw enough money, you can make anything happen, besides, three weeks is ple
“We will be so lucky today if we can get through the hour without you and Jeff blowing each other’s heads off,” Jessica said as she took the cup of alcohol from the table and poured it in her mouth before walking out of the study room.Alex is seen opening the door for Jeff. He walked inside the house while staring at the interior design of the house. it looked so beautiful and the house looked so big, he thought. Just then he saw Jessica, Brandon, and Arianna walking towards him. Jessica moved towards him and hugged him then kissed him on his cheeks. “Hey, I’m glad you came, this is my mom. Mom this is my fiancée “ Jessica said and Arianna smiled.“Hello, Mr Jeff. Welcome to the family” Arianna said and Jeff smiled and then turned to Brandon who stared at him with no expression on his face. “We’ve already met, Brandon Colby,” Jeff said as he brought forth his hands for a handshake but then Brandon pulled him into a hug and whispered in his ear “I do not like you, but my sister
“Enough!!! I’m going to marry Jeff, and that is final. If you are not okay with it Grandma, please leave the house and after the marriage, you can come back” Jessica said and walked away angrily. “Okay I’m out of here,” Arianna said as she stood up and went to Jessica’s room. She planted a soft knock on the door and Jessica opened the door. “Hey,” she muttered as she walked inside the room, closing the door behind her. “That was such good acting. She bought it, she thinks you are in love with Jeff” Arianna said Jessica laughed and just then she caught a glimpse of the wedding dress on the bed. “Is that my wedding dress I wore the day I got married to your father?” Arianna asked as she picked up the dress, staring at it with a smile on her face. Memories of the wedding came to her head. “Yes, I kept it, “ Jessica said and Arianna turned to her and hugged her. “This is supposed to be the happiest moment of my life where I marry the man of my dreams” Jessica muttered. Arianna became
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
