Planning something bad
Arianna is seen in her room holding a glass cup filled with wine. She gulped from the glass of wine and then dropped it on the table.
She stared at her phone and suddenly picked it up and dialed Hannah’s number, and immediately she picked up the phone.
“Hello Mommy,” Hannah said over the phone
“Hannah, how are you feeling?” Arianna asked
“I’m okay Mommy, at least for now,” Hannah said with a sigh
“What’s the problem, honey?” Arianna asked in a concerned tone.
“Nothing much, I and Brandon have a misunderstanding and I’m planning on ending the marriage. He’s asking me to give him a few more days to find his mom before we end the contract” Hannah said and Arianna screamed at once.
“What?!” She muttered as the color of her face changed immediately. She didn’t want the contract marriage between Hannah and Brandon to end. She wished for it to become a real one. She gave out a deep breath and calmed herself. She just needed to speak with Hannah calmly and she would listen to her.
“What’s wrong? It was all a contract marriage from the start and we both knew it was going to end anyways. I asked Micheal to find his mom, so we can be done with each other once and for all” Hannah said and Arianna sighed softly, she could sense the sadness in Hannah’s voice.
“Honey, I know it’s a contract marriage and it’s fine if you do want to end it but why don’t you wait a little bit more before you do?
Uhm, the octuplets like Brandon a lot and they believe it’s a real marriage, ending the marriage would make them feel sad and you know how excited they are to have a father figure in their life.
Whatever is going on between you and Brandon, I’m sure you both can fix it” Arianna said and Hannah sighed softly without saying a word.
Arianna was right, her octuplets love Brandon a lot and they feel protected and happy whenever they are with Brandon. Ending the marriage now might make her children feel sad, Hannah thought.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“And honey, please do not try looking for Brandon’s mom,” Arianna said
“But why? That’s the most reason Brandon agreed to this marriage, he’s been trying but to no avail, maybe if I try, I might get some lead on finding her” Hannah said
“It’s too dangerous honey, searching for Camila Colby Montez is going to put your life and that of your kid in danger.
Let the sleeping dog lie….. honey, it’s too dangerous ” Arianna said and Hannah wondered what she meant by it’s gonna put her life and her kid’s life in danger.
“Is there something you know that you are not telling me?” Hannah asked
“Honey, please promise me you won’t try to find her, please, it’s for your good,” Arianna said and Hannah sighed softly.
She trusted Arianna with her life, even though she isn’t her biological mom, she trusted her and believed her judgment.
“Fine, I won’t try to look for her,” Hannah said and Arianna gave out a breath of relief.
“Good” Arianna said and suddenly someone walked into her room and spoke.
“Jefa, Mrs. Claire is here,” the bodyguard said and Arianna nodded in response.
“I have to go now, Hannah. I have got some business to discuss with my new partner. I’ll speak with you later” Arianna said and with that, she ended the call.

Meanwhile, Brandon is seen in his office, sitting on his chair while staring at the computer in front of him with a lot of thoughts going through his mind.
Just then Liam walked inside the office and dropped some files on the table jolting Brandon out of his thoughts.
After they had left the mansion, they both went to the company.
“Are you alright?” Liam asked as he noticed the sad look on Brandon’s face. He wondered what happened at the mansion that made his face look that way. He’s been like this since he left his mansion.
“You need to hasten your search on my mom, the contract between me and Hannah is ending soon,” Brandon said and Liam sighed.
He wondered what happened between Hannah and Brandon. The contract is yet to expire and they want to end it. Did they both get into a fight when he left with Rhoda? He thought, lots of questions going through his mind.
“Did you both get into a fight?” Liam asked and Brandon scoffed.
“That woman is so stubborn. She accused me of asking Rhoda to come over and humiliate her and called me an asshole, the same way she told me I’m not her type of man.
No one has ever spoken to me the way she did. How dare she?” Brandon said while thinking of all the mean words Hannah had said to her.
Liam sighed softly. He’s known Brandon to be a strong man and words had never gotten to him and now, Hannah is the only woman that had made him this way.
“So, are you both gonna end the contract marriage because of that? I would advise you to apologize and fix everything” Liam said and Brandon gave her a deadly glare.
“What?! Never!” Brandon said and Liam sighed.
“I saw a contract she was trying to draft before she was shot. Brandon, that woman has the resources to make this company move forward.
Do the needful, at least for your company’s sake and for the sake of your mom” Liam said and Brandon stared at him without saying a word.
Just then he heard his phone ring, it was a call from Rhoda….. he answered the phone call.
“Brandon, I’m so sorry for what happened. I was only trying to make peace with Hannah, I didn’t know she would take it so personal and hit me” Rhoda said in a teary tone and Brandon sighed softly.
“It’s fine,” Brandon said and Rhoda sniffed.
“My face hurts a lot and I’m all alone. Do you mind coming over for dinner today” Rhoda asked
“Sure, I’ll try to make some time and come over, you should rest and take care of yourself,” Brandon said and with that, he ended the call.
Liam knew it was Rhoda, he wondered if Brandon meant what he said by going over to meet Rhoda.
He wondered what Rhoda was planning this time.
He needed to make sure Brandon didn’t see Rhoda, he knows Rhoda and he knows she was planning something bad.
