“Jessica, will you marry me,” Jeff said and Jessica opened her mouth wide agape as she saw the Diamond ring in Jeff’s hands. “Jeff, please stand up please,” she said as she looked around, luckily no one was staring at them. “Please sit,” Jessica said and Jeff nodded. “What’s wrong?” Jeff asked calmly “I wasn’t expecting a ring from you. Jeff, we’ve just known each other not for a very long time and you want us to get married, I’m sorry, I can't. I feel everything is happening so fast. I can’t” Jessica said and Jeff sighed softly.“It’s fine, I’m sorry if it seems things are going too fast. We will take it slow, I’ll wait till you are ready,” Jeff said and Jessica Forced herself to smile. She then checked her phone and raised her head at Jeff. “I’m sorry I have to go now, I have something I need to do at home,” Jessica said and stood up, with that she walked out of the restaurant, boarded a taxi, and went straight home. Immediately she left, Jeff clicked his tongue. His plan did
It was morning and a new day. Arianna had woken up so early and got dressed for work, and prepared breakfast for both Jessica and Brandon. The maids had already resumed work today. Arianna went upstairs to wake up Jessica for breakfast. She brushed her teeth and came downstairs to join her mom for breakfast. Arianna and Jessica are seen in the dining area eating when Brandon came down the stairs, all dressed for work, and joined them. “Mom, I was thinking you should resume your position as the new COO,” Brandon said “What? No! What about Hannah?” Arianna asked “I think she should step down for the now and you should take over for the good of the company, till we are able to fix the issues on ground” Brandon said “No, I can’t honey. Hannah and you are going to fix whatever is going on in the company, that position of the COO is hers and no one else “ Arianna said and just then they caught a glimpse of Grandma Elizabeth climbing down the stairs while cat walking. She was putting o
It was morning and Hannah had woken up feeling so tired. She and the kids had to put everything in order at their new house, so they slept late. She stood up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and took her bath. She then went downstairs to prepare breakfast for the kids. After she was done, she went upstairs to the kid's room, luckily they were already awake. She helped them take their bath and get dressed for school. They ate breakfast and she went to drop them off at school. After which she went back home and got dressed. She was going to resume as the COO of Colby co, but the fact that she and Brandon are not on good terms doesn’t mean she should give up her position in the company. He stated in the contract that whatever is his, is also hers. So far, he hasn’t signed the divorce paper yet, whatever he owns, was also hers, she thought as she got dressed. Besides, before he signs the divorce paper, she plans on making Brandon’s life hell.She made su
Try me and see” she said and with that, she walked out of the office.Immediately, she walked out of the office Liam walked in. “Why didn’t you tell me she was in my office?” Brandon asked immediately after Liam walked in. “I tried telling you but you said you weren’t in the mood to talk, “ Liam said and Brandon sighed softly. “Did she forgive you?” Liam asked “No, but she said she would only allow me to see the kids but that doesn’t mean she forgives me. It’s still progress, right? Gradually, I know I will win her heart again, it might only take time” Brandon said and Liam nodded in response. “What do I have on my schedule today?” Brandon asked “A board meeting by 12pm and a meeting with Mr. Holland by 2pm, he’s willing to meet and discuss business terms with you.He’s from New York City. Mrs Colby lived there before so she should know how to convince him to agree to our business terms, so you would be going with her” Liam said and Brandon nodded in response. ****** At Colby’s
Hannah opened her eyes in shock as she saw Brandon Colby, kneeling in front of her asking for her forgiveness.“I’m sorry Hannah, I’m sorry I hurt you, It was my 24th birthday. I was drugged and placed in the same room with you, I couldn’t control myself. I am so sorry Hannah, it’s my fault, I am sorry, please forgive me” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him without saying a word.Her looks softened as she stared at him. She didn’t know the full story, he was a victim too. He was drugged and didn’t know what he was doing, Hannah thought as she stared at him. She looked away from him immediately. “You should stand up. This is an office and anyone can walk in at any minute. You do not want your workers to see you kneeling” Hannah said, looking away from Brandon. “I do not care if anyone sees me. All I want is for you to forgive me” Brandon said and hannah bit her lips nervously. “Fine, I’ll forgive you on one condition, “ Hannah said and Brandon wondered what condition it was. “W
He then tried the date and luckily, it opened. Liam sighed softly and was about to open the locker when the door burst open revealing Hannah. Hannah had come to look for Brandon because she was told they would be going for a meeting at 2 pm and it was just eighteen minutes to 2 pm. No matter how much she was angry at him, she wouldn’t let what she feels get in the way of business. “Where’s Brandon?” Hannah asked as she stared at Liam who was opening Brandon’s locker when she walked in. She wondered what he was searching for in the locker, maybe Brandon had sent him to bring out something from the locker, besides he’s his PA, she thought.“He’s in his car, he asked you to meet him at his car outside,” Liam said looking nervous. Hannah nodded and gave him a weird look before walking out of the office. Liam sighed softly and exhaled deeply. “That was close,” he thought and then opened the locker and brought out what was inside, it was just a few bundles of money and a key. “Shit!”
Chapter 113“Now, you're going to apologize to my wife,” Brandon said as he dragged him towards Hannah and made him kneel in front of her.“I’m sorry Hannah, I’m sorry” Holland begged and Hannah sighed before walking away. Brandon let go of Holland and kicked him. “Don’t you dare threaten me again” he said and with that, he walked away. Immediately he got outside the restaurant, he met Hannah standing beside his car, looking so furious.“Was that necessary? I would have dealt with him myself “ she said and Brandon shrugged. “Yes, it was. He fucking touched you, you are mine and no one is allowed to touch you” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him weirdly. “You know what? The both of us, it's a no, it can never work out, I would advise you stop thinking about it” Hannah said and Brandon hummed and moved towards Hannah a bit, while staring deep inside her eyes. “Say that again,” he said and Hannah pushed him away and hopped inside the car closing the door. Brandon sighed softly and

Jessica alighted the car and walked inside the Hotel.Immediately she walked in, a female receptionist walked towards her. “You are Miss Jessica right?” The receptionist asked and Jessica nodded in response. “Come with me, Mr. Jeff asked me to bring you to him when you arrive,” the receptionist said and Jessica nodded in response and trailed behind her. They got to a room and the receptionist planted a soft knock on the door, the door creaked open and Jeff walked out. Jessica turned to the receptionist and smiled at her, then she walked away. Both of them then walked inside the room.“Hey” Jeff muttered and Jessica smiled as she sat on the couch. “You said you needed to see me, so I had to book this hotel for us to talk,” Jeff said calmly like a gentleman. “Yeah,” Jessica said as she stared at Jeff. She was the one who had called Jeff that she wanted to speak with him. She felt she had made a mistake be
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
