Chapter 120
Arianna quickly stood up and rushed towards him.
“We have a problem, Brandon” Arianna paused as she noticed the look on Brandon’s face.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“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 room
And 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 everything.
She quickly brought out her phone and dialed Jessica’s number but it was going straight to voicemails.
She sighed and closed her eyes briefly when she suddenly heard the door open. She opened her eyes and to her greatest surprise, she saw Hannah and the octuplets.
“Grandma” the octuplets screamed at once immediately they saw Arianna and jumped on her.
“Gently” Hannah laughed but they paid no attention to her.
“Oh my kings and queens, I miss you all so much,” Arianna said as she bent to their level and they did a group hug.
“We miss you too grandma, we have a lot of things to tell you. A lot happened when we left, we are going to tell you everything” Addison said and Hannah rolled her eyes.
Her kids love Arianna so much and it is so obvious that they miss her so much.
Brandon who was in his study room heard voices downstairs, he decided to go take a look at what was happening.
And to his greatest surprise, he saw Hannah and the kids.
“Daddy” the kids yelled and rushed towards him.
Brandon laughed and carried Aubrey.
“I miss you so much Daddy” they echoed at once.
“I miss you all too,” Brandon said laughing.
“Daddy, please carry me too” they kept yelling.
“Sure, I will carry you guys one after the other,” Brandon said as he couldn’t stop smiling.
“Daddy, me first. Daddy, me first” they kept yelling nonstop while they began to laugh.
Arianna and Hannah stood beside each other as they both watched the kids play with their father.
They both noticed Brandon was looking so happy now, unlike earlier when he was looking sad.
Seeing the kids made him so much happy.
“Thank you, Hannah,” Arianna said and she nodded without saying a word.
“I know you still hate me after what happened, it’s okay to hate me, but I can’t stand being far from the children.
You and the octuplets are the ones who made my life whole all these years. I just hope one day you will forgive me and give me a chance to be your mother again” Arianna said. Hannah stared at her for a few seconds without saying a word, but suddenly, she moved toward Arianna and gave her a big hug.
Even if she lied to her, she’s also the reason she was still alive. She saved her life and that was something to be grateful for.
“I forgive you, Mom,” Hannah said as she pulled away from the hug and wiped the tears that slipped down Arianna’s cheeks.
“Thank you, honey,” Arianna said and Hannah smiled at her.
Brandon on the other hand who was playing with the kids, stared at both Hannah and Arianna. If Arianna wasn’t his biological mother, he would say, Arianna was the one who gave birth to Hannah. There’s this special kind of bond, they both share.
“Okay kids, let’s go to your room and play. Mommy and daddy need to talk” Arianna said and the kids happily ran upstairs to their room, with Arianna trailing behind them.
They miss staying at their Daddy’s house so much.
“I thought you said you wouldn’t let me see them today,” Brandon asked as he moved towards Hannah who scoffed.
“Is that a thank you? Anyways you are welcome” Hannah said and Brandon chuckled softly.
“Okay, so would you be staying over with the kids?” Brandon asked as he moved close to Hannah, leaving no breathing space between the both of them.
Hannah swallowed hard and tried moving back but Brandon held her waist and pinned her to his body.
She swallowed into nothing as she felt her heart rate increase. It felt like her heart was running a marathon race.
“What are you doing Brandon? Hannah whispered, breathing rapidly.
“Doing what I know how to do best, Love” he said as he removed a strand of her that was stuck on her cheeks.
Hannah closed her eyes and took a deep breath and suddenly, she felt something huge touch her below, she opened her eyes wide and her brain quickly reset back to normal. She quickly pushed Brandon away.
“God!! What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to seduce me?” Hannah asked as she stared at Brandon who had this devilish smile on his face.
“Maybe. I know you miss me, Hannah. It’s fine, it’s okay to miss me and I know you are falling for my charms.
I am so charming and irresistible, any woman would fall for me, so it’s okay ” Brandon said and moved towards Hannah then whispered in her ear.
“If you want sex you can tell me, I’m always available but you would have to pay me,” Brandon said and Hannah yelled.
“What??” She yelled and Brandon laughed. He was trying to get on her nerves. He missed her so much.
Just then the door to the front door burst open revealing angry Jessica.
“Jessica” Brandon called
“Who the hell is Jeff Mikealson’s? And what business did you and your wife have with him?” Jessica asked, tears gathered in her eyes.
“Oh Jeff, what did you do again?!” Hannah thought.
Both Hannah and Brandon stared at each other and then turned to Jessica.
“What happened?” Brandon asked surprised how Jessica knew Jeff.
“Did you know, he’s been using me all this time, pretending to love me and even proposed to me? He asked me to marry him just to get back at you and Hannah, in fact, this family as a whole
I was a fool to fall for his lies. It felt so real ” Jessica yelled and Hannah opened her eyes wide in shock.
“What? Did you guys…..” Brandon paused
“You mean if he’s put the stick in? Yes, countless times” Jessica said and Brandon felt so irritated.
“Urgh, ewwww, Why do you have to fall for every man that gives you a bit of attention? How could you be this stupid” Brandon said and Jessica scoffed.
“Fine, laugh at the girl who loves too easily. You know what? Screw you, Screw Jeff” Jessica said and Brandon sighed softly.
“Fine, you screwed up more than you know but you gonna fix it,” Brandon said and Jessica laughed
“Don’t tell me what to do. I don’t arrange my life to suit the gospel according to Brandon Colby. Not anymore. I’m done with you, I’m done with Jeff” she yelled
“He’s been using you, Jessica. We are going to make him pay for hurting you.
So, no you are not done.
You are gonna marry that son of a bitch ”
“What?”
