Chapter 208He suddenly pulled away from the kiss and stared at her eyes.His eyes moved to her lips which were looking red and wet from the kiss.“I want you to stay away from my Brother, Lucas” he said and with that, he walked out of the roomLeaving Hannah all alone.She placed her hands on her chest which was beating so fast, she then touched her lips and suddenly found herself smiling as the thought of Brandon filled her heart.She suddenly frowned as she realized she was smiling over nothing.The moment Brandon kissed her, she forgot everything she had wanted to do, she needed to take her bath and reply to some emails before going to sleep but now, she’d forgotten all she had wanted to do.“What is wrong with me?” She thought as the scene of Brandon kissing her filled her mind.The moment Brandon walked out of Hannah’s room, he went to his study room and surprisedly saw Lucas sitting on his chair. “Lucas” he called as he walked fully inside the study room.“Hello Brother,” he s
Chapter 209“What are you doing here Lucas?” He asked and Lucas stared at him without saying a word and then turned to Liam. “Excuse us, I would love to speak to my brother alone,” He said and Liam turned to Brandon who nodded and gave him the look *it is okay,you can leave*.Liam glared at Lucas one more time before walking out of the office. “What are you doing here Lucas?” Brandon asked again as he stood up and put his hands in his pocket while staring at his brother who had this devilish smile on his face. “I’m here to take my position in this company and steal your woman,” Lucas said and Brandon scoffed.“Don’t start with me, Lucas” Brandon said and he chuckled. “Oh, you started with me Brandon with the whole Stay away from my wife speech. I’m still relishing that” Lucas said and Brandon smiled. “As long as you heard it, Lucas,” he said and he rolled his eyes. “You know those times I have been stalking your woman, trust me I came to realize she was really pretty and well en
Chapter 210Hannah sighed the moment she saw him, wondering what he was doing at her office. How did he even know my office?, of course, I'm the COO everyone knows my office, she thought as she walked in fully.“What are you doing here, Lucas?” she asked as she stood in front of him, watching him clean the blood off his nose with a handkerchief in his hands. Brandon had hit him so hard, Hannah thought. “I wanted to apologize for earlier on, for touching your hands and uhm for stalking you all this while. I'm sorry” he said with a guilty look on his face.Hannah immediately felt pity for him. She sighed and nodded. She moved towards her desk, took the first aid box, and decided to help Lucas clean his injury so it wouldn't get infected. She cleaned the blood and after she was done, she dumped the cotton wool in the dustbin, she turned to Lucas standing hands akimbo.“Lucas, I know you are angry and you must hate your brother, I just wanted to let you know Brandon didn't know the m
Chapter 211She was surprised because she knew her kids so much that they hardly get along with anyone but it was different with Lucas.“We could hang out and play some games together maybe later in the day….” Lucas paused the moment he saw Brandon walk in.“And Daddy could join us, it would be fun, isn’t it Brandon?” Lucas asked with a smirk on his face and the kids turned to Brandon with smiles on their faces waiting for him to say yes,Brandon on the other hand didn’t say a word, instead, he kept staring at Lucas with anger in his eyes as he bit his inner lips.“Uhm, sweethearts, go to your room now, I will be there in a bit,” Hannah said and the kids nodded Obediently before going upstairs to their room.Hannah stared at Lucas and then Brandon, she wasn’t gonna interfere in whatever was going between them, she said to herself and was about to move away when Lucas called her, making her stop.“Hannah” Lucas called and she turned to him.“Erm, I wasn’t able to thank you for what you
Chapter 212“Brandon” Hannah called and he turned to her with no expression on his face.“Tell me what happened between you and your Brother. Don’t tell me he’s angry because he thinks you tried to kill him, I know there’s something else, what is it?” Hannah asked and he looked away from her before he finally spoke.“Nothing, you should go to your room,” he said and Hannah scoffed.“You are lying to me Brandon, I spoke with Lucas and even though he didn’t tell me everything, I know there’s more to why the both of you are at each other's throats. Spill it out” she said and he turned to her.“Are you trying to side with him? He’s a manipulative psychopath, he sure knows how to lie” Brandon said and Hannah scoffed.“You are the one lying Brandon, you are not only lying, you are hiding the truth from me and making it look like Lucas is the bad one here. I know absolutely nothing about you, you keep hiding a lot of things from me. Who was he talking about?” She asked and he turned to her
Chapter 213“I'm sorry about Lisa, I hope you find her” Hannah said as she stood up and raised her head. She saw Brandon staring at her and Lucas.“Do you need help in the kitchen? You just cut your finger, you could use some help” Lucas who hadn't noticed Brandon was behind him Said.“No, it's fine. I will ask the maid to prepare the food” Hannah said and walked past Brandon, going upstairs to her room.She sighed the moment she got into her room and sat on the bed.She's doing exactly what she said she wouldn't do, getting involved in whatever was going on between Brandon and Lucas, she thought and gave in a deep breath.Meanwhile, Brandon who is seen downstairs stares at Lucas, giving him a dagger look. “Don’t give me that stare, Big Brother” He said as he walked past Brandon, and walked outside the house. He hopped into his car and zoomed off. Brandon on the other hand wasn’t ready for any fight with Lucas, he felt Hannah must have hated him already, he needed to talk to her, h
Chapter 214The moment Jessica got outside the bar, she met Matthew looking nervous pacing to and fro.“Are you okay? What's wrong?” Jessica asked, jolting Matthew out of his thoughts.“ I'm fine. I'm just tired. Can we go home now?” he asked and Jessica nodded.“I will go get the car,” he said and left in a rush to get the car so they could leave.Jessica on the other hand wondered what was wrong with him.Maybe he's stressed from going to see his aunt yesterday, she thought and shook the thoughts off her head. Meanwhile, Lucas is seen inside the bar staring around, trying to find the lady who had called Matthew Alexander, he just needed to ask her a few questions but sadly she was nowhere to be found.He sighed and then a waiter then brought a drink to his table.“I didn't ask for a drink,” he said to the waiter.“That lady over there asked me to bring it for you,” the waiter said and Lucas turned in the direction the waiter pointed. He saw a lady with blonde hair, putting on sha
Chapter 215Meanwhile, a black car screeched to a halt in front of Colby's mansion. Jessica and Matthew alighted the car and walked inside the house, where they met Arianna at the dining table, with some maids arranging food at the dining table. There was lots of food on the table. She wondered if there was any occasion that she didn’t know about.“Mom” Jessica called and Arianna turned to her and smiled.“Oh honey, you are back,” she said as she moved towards Jessica and hugged her. Then kissed her on her cheeks.“Hi” Matthew muttered and Arianna smiled at him.“What’s the occasion? Why is there so much food on the table?” Jessica asked.“Honey, it’s been a long time since we had dinner together as a family. I just wanted us to have dinner together” Arianna said and Jessica hummed. “You should go change your dress and come eat,” Arianna said and Jessica nodded before going upstairs with Matthew to change their clothes. After Jessica left, Arianna went upstairs to Hannah’s room. S
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
Hannah and Brandon had left for the company after they had breakfast. They had left in Brandon’s car.The car came to a stop in front of the company and They both alighted the car and walked inside the company to their respective offices.Hannah on the other hand had begun work immediately after she arrived and also had an interview with a media person inside her office.After she was done with the interview, she left the company to go see a client she had scheduled with a hotel.She had gotten to the hotel and was led by the receptionist to the VIP area. She had gotten there and met a male figure sitting in the chair while operating his phone.She wasn’t expecting to see a male. It was a female.“Hello, Mrs Colby…” the man said immediately as he caught a glimpse of her and stood up immediately.“Hi…” Hannah muttered looking confused wondering who the man was.“Oh, you must be wondering why Mrs Caro Clinton is not here. She had to attend our daughter’s school ceremony: and I had to co
It’s been a week since everyone had found out Lucas wasn't a Colby, instead, she was a product of her mother’s infidelity with the former driver.Hannah had woken up early and prepared not much breakfast since it was just her, Jessica, Brandon, and Lucas at the house.Arianna had left for New York with her boyfriend, Micheal, and the kids. Linda hadn’t shown her face since what happened at the baby’s shower. Everyone understood he was down and needed space. Anyone would be down after what had happened. Imagine finding out the baby you thought was yours wasn’t yours, the same day you found out your father wasn’t your biological father.After Hannah had finished setting up the table, she called the maids to inform everyone that breakfast was ready which they did and in no time everyone was coming downstairs for breakfast.“I miss the kids so much, the house looks so boring without them,” Jessica who is seen climbing down the stairs muttered and then sighed as she moved towards the dini
Meanwhile, everyone was waiting for the party to start and just then Linda picked up the microphone calling everyone's attention to her.“I know a lot of you might be wondering while I’m the one holding the mic, well I’m a good MC and there’s nothing I can’t do,” she said and everyone laughed.“Well, it’s my grandchild's gender reveal today and we are going to find out what the gender is. If it’s a boy or a girl. Although I would be happy if it’s both, “ she said and everyone in the room burst into laughter..“But first I would call the father and the mother forward. Lucas and Kara, please step forward,” Linda said and they Both walked forward to the stage, where everyone was staring at them.“Well, this beautiful lady here is carrying my son’s child and as we know, none of us is aware of the gender and we are going to find out, today, here and now,” Linda said with a smile on her lips and Jessica who was staring at her from upstairs rolled her eyes. “Time for the reveal,” Linda said
It was morning and the house was busy, unlike every other day. Today was the day of the baby shower and Kara and Lucas could be seen running around, trying to get everything in order.Hannah and Brandon hadn’t gone to work today. No one left the house, as they needed to be available at the baby shower.They had to be there for Lucas while they revealed the gender of the baby. Linda could be seen standing with Kara while they told the electrical man where to put the projector to reveal the gender of the baby.Arianna could be seen in the dining room with Hannah watching the whole scene.“Who doesn’t know she’s a devil in sheep's apparel would think she’s supportive. I know she’s just trying to be close to her, so she could find a way to get rid of her,” Arianna said as she rolled her eyes and Hannah chuckled. Lucas could be seen standing at the stair rails all dressed up, while he glared at Linda and Kara bond together. He was glad Linda was making progress and wasn’t rude to the mot
