Chapter 15“Hannah!” Jeff called as he saw her walking towards her car. He moved towards her and tried touching her but Hannah shoved his hands off.“What the fuck are you doing near my car? And how did you know I was here? are you monitoring me?” Hannah asked as she stared at him angrily.“No no!! I had come here to speak with some client concerning business and had seen your car, so I assumed you would be inside and I decided to wait for you here” Jeff said with an innocent look on his face.Hannah scoffed as she stared at him. He had come to speak with a client at the restaurant and when he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Hannah’s car and decided to wait and see her. “I know you hate me for what happened in the past. I swear I didn’t intend to hurt you, I was just confused. Rhoda was pregnant for me and I badly needed a child, she threatened to abort the child if I did not divorce you. I had no choice but to do what she wanted. I regret everything, please forgive me”
Chapter 16Meanwhile, Hannah’s car came to a stop inside her compound. She and the octuplets alighted the car. She had gone to pick up the kids from school immediately after she left the restaurant. “Welcome ma'am” the maid greeted with their heads bowed and Hannah nodded. She asked the maid to go bring the kid's bags from the car, while the Nannies take the kids upstairs and help them change their clothes and take their baths.She walked past them and collapsed on the couch tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind. The fact that she was getting married to a stranger. She didn't have the intention of getting married again, not after what Jeff did to her. But now she's left with no choice but to marry Brandon Colby, for the sake of Mackenzie’s company. Arianna had sacrificed a lot for Hannah in the past, she felt it was her turn to repay her. She needed to do it, if not for any reason but for the sake of Arianna but how was she going to break the news to her kids that she wa
Chapter 17“Calm down Hannah, I only taught them to stand up for themselves and let no one step on them. they are the upcoming kings and queens of Mackenzie’s empire, so they need to learn to fight for each other” Arianna said and Hannah sighed softly. “How was your meeting with Brandon?” Arianna asked and Hannah exhaled deeply. “It was okay. He agreed to help” Hannah said and Arianna smiled broadly “Oh my goodness? I knew he wouldn’t say no to you…..” Arianna paused when Hannah gave her a weird look. “What do you mean you knew he wouldn’t say no?” Hannah asked “Common Hannah, you are beautiful and irresistible, no man would say no to helping you,” Arianna said And Hannah rolled her eyes. “He gave me a condition,” Hannah said and Arianna raised her eyebrows waiting for her to continue. “He asked me to be his wife,” Hannah said and Arianna laughed. “I wasn’t expecting that,” Arianna said and Hannah shrugged. “He said he’s willing to help, and in return, I’ll marry him because
Chapter 18Just then she felt a hand touch her from behind. She turned swiftly and to her surprise, she saw a familiar face staring at her with a smile on his face. She frowned immediately as she saw him. “Rhoda!” The figure called out surprised to see her standing outside a hotel with luggage beside her. “Liam!” Rhoda called out, she wondered how he still recognized her with her covering her face and all. “What are you doing here by this time of the night? It’s late “ Liam said and Rhoda swallowed hard. “I should be asking you that,” Rhoda said and Liam smiled. I came here for a client. He’s lodging here for the night, I just came to make sure he’s comfortable and getting special treatment. It took a lot from us to make the client agree to come to Atlanta to discuss business with us, so we can’t afford to make him feel uncomfortable“ Liam said and Rhoda stared at him wondering who was the “we” he was talking to about.Rhoda and Liam were neighbors when they were both children.
Chapter 19Rhoda is seen sitting on the bed inside the hotel room, looking so nervous. She’s been trying to practice everything Liam had told her, she didn’t want him to feel disappointed and aside from that, she needed the money he was going to pay her. She began to wonder why Liam would tell her to act like she was raped years ago by his boss and she began to wonder who the boss is. She sighed softly as she straightened her dress, trying to look decent and pitiful. Just then the door burst open and Liam walked in with Brandon trailing behind him. Immediately Brandon’s eyes fell on Rhoda, he felt so much pity for her. He felt so guilty because of the crime he committed years ago. Memories of how he had forced himself on her came rushing into his head like flash. He’s never felt this guilty in his entire life. I must have caused a lot of damage in this lady’s life, I’m willing to compensate her with whatever she wants, he thought as he stared at Rhoda.Meanwhile, Rhoda on the othe
Chapter 20The two men in suits stared At each other with confused looks on their faces. “Why does this kid look so much like Mr. CEO, Brandon Colby?” the man thought as they stared at the kids. “What are you both staring at? Answer the question!” Jasper said as he stepped forward and both men gave each other a weird look. “Who is at the door, Jayden? I thought I asked you guys to wait for me in the car” Hannah said as she climbed down the stairs, and walked towards the door, and to her surprise, she saw two men in suits staring at her kids. “Hello, how may I help you both?” Hannah asked and the men raised their heads and stared at Hannah. “Are you Mrs. Mackenzie?” One of the men asked “Yes, I am,” Hannah replied politely. “She’s beautiful, no wonder Brandon wants to marry her,” the men thought as they stared at Hannah. “I’m David Black and this is my partner, Leo Martin,” The man said and Hannah nodded, waiting for him to continue.“We were both sent by Brandon Colby. We brou
Chapter 21Family is everything”, he muttered lowly, memories of his mom coming into his head.He sighed softly. He needed to find his mom, there were lots of questions that needed to be answered, and only his mom could answer them. His mom had left without a goodbye, he wondered why she had left him just like that, he needed to know the reason why she left him. That’s why he needs to make sure Hannah starts living with him. The earlier they stay together as a couple, the quicker he finds his mom. He thought. He stared at his phone and dialed Hannah’s number. It rang for some seconds before Hannah finally answered the phone call. “What do you want?” Hannah's voice echoed from the phone. “I’m not giving you any fucking time. I’m giving you just today to tell your kids about it or I’m not going to help your company” Brandon said in a cold voice. “What? Are you threatening me?” Hannah asked as she felt angrier. “Don’t take my words for granted Mrs. Mackenzie, I mean every bit of w
Chapter 22“Any news about my ex-wife?” Jeff asked, he had asked his private investigator to find out everything about Hannah and where she lives. “No, nothing yet. I would love to get some information from you about the last few places you met her” The private investigator said Jeff sighed softly then told him where he had met her and ended the call. He wondered why it was difficult finding Hannah. He has given him the job for some days now and he’s found nothing. His private investigator has never failed him, whatever he had asked him to do in the past, he has always delivered.Why does it feel like someone is protecting Hannah and she might be using a new identity that’s why it’s difficult to find her, but anyways he was going to find her. He won’t stop till he finds her.Just then Jeff's door burst open again revealing Rosa. “Mom” Jeff called out as Rosa walked inside the room. “Jeff, you seriously not gonna look for Rhoda? You throw her out of the house with nothing and you e
