You are going to help me find her
“Mommy, are we leaving?” Jayden asked
“Yes honey, we are leaving the country,” Hannah said and the kids stared at her in surprise.
“But why?” Allison asked
“Does that mean we are leaving Daddy?” Aubrey asked and Hannah closed her eyes and opened them, then turned to their kids.
“You all stop asking questions. Pack the things you know you would be needing, we are leaving and that’s final” Hannah yelled at her kids making them flinch.
Aubrey burst into tears but Hannah ignored her, while she kept arranging her kid’s clothes.
When she was done, she carried the luggage outside to her car and came back to her kid’s room.
“Let’s go to the car,” Hannah said and the kids nodded silently.
Jayden moved towards Aubrey who was still crying and hugged her.
“Mommy is just angry alright. She didn’t mean to yell at us, stop crying alright?” Jayden said as he wiped Aubrey’s tears.
The octuplets walked out of the room trailing behind Hannah, who was walking out of the house.
“Immediately, they climbed down the stairs, they saw their grandma, Arianna and yelled happily.
“Grandma!” They yelled as they rushed towards Arianna and hugged her legs so tight, making her almost fall.
“Oh sweethearts, I missed you guys so much,” Arianna said as she bent toward their level and hugged them all.
Hannah stood for some seconds as she watched her kids who looked so happy to see Arianna. They love Arianna so much and it was so obvious they missed her so much.
“Jayden, take your siblings to the car and wait for me,” Hannah said and the kids turned to her.
“But mommy, Grandma is here, we should stay with her,” Jamie said and Hannah shot them a deadly glare.
“I said go to the car and wait for me,” Hannah said and the kids nodded sadly as they moved away from their Grandma Arianna and walked out of the house to the car.
“Hannah, you can’t just leave and take the kids away,” Arianna said and Hannah scoffed
“That’s exactly what I’m going to do,” Hannah said. Arianna tried stopping her but Brandon held her.
“What do you think you are doing? You should stop her from leaving” Arianna said and Brandon sighed
“She needs space. She just heard the biggest truth of her life, after you lied to her, she needs time to process all of it. Let her be” Brandon said
“You do not know Hannah, she would leave the country with the kids and you would never hear from them again,” Arianna said and then turned when she heard footsteps of someone walking towards them.
It was Jessica. She had been standing upstairs watching the whole scenario.
“Mommy!” Jessica called as she rushed towards Arianna and hugged her.
Tears spilled down her cheeks.
“Mommy, where have you been? You left. I thought you were dead” Jessica said and Arianna smiled out tears.
While Jessica and Arianna were busy telling each other how much they missed themselves, Brandon turned to Liam and asked him to keep his eyes on Hannah and make sure she doesn’t leave the country.
Liam nodded and left, Elizabeth on the other hand walked away to her room, she just couldn’t believe everything she had heard and seen today, it still felt like a dream to her.
She thought Camilla was dead, she remembered the day her son had caught up with her. She was in the car that day and watched everything happen.
He shot her and left her for dead, she wondered how the hell she survived.
Meanwhile, Brandon stood as he watched Jessica and Arianna do mother and daughter bonding.
“We need to talk,” Brandon said as he pulled Arianna’s hand and dragged her to his study room with Jessica trailing behind them.
Immediately they entered the study room, Brandon turned to her.
“Why should I believe everything you said? Huh? I do not trust you and the fact you saying Hannah was the woman I raped years ago, I still do not believe you” Brandon said and Arianna sighed softly.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I’m telling the truth, Brandon. Can’t you see the kids looks so much like you” Arianna said and Brandon scoffed
“She’s telling the truth, Brandon,” Jessica said and they all turned to her.
She walked towards Brandon and gave him the DNA test result for him to see.
“And what the hell is this?” Brandon asked
“It’s a DNA test result. I did it on you and the kids after they pressured me to do it without telling anyone.
I had to and the result states you are the father” Jessica said and Brandon stared at the result and saw Jessica was saying the truth.
Brandon was speechless. It was true that Hannah was the woman she raped years ago, but why did Rhoda pretend to be the one? he thought
“Why didn’t you tell me the truth? Why didn’t you come and tell me the octuplets were my kids?” Brandon asked
“I thought you would be able to figure it out on your own since the kids look so much like you.
I thought maybe you would try to find out why the kids look so much like you” Arianna said and Brandon sighed softly
“Brandon I’m so sorry, ” Arianna said
“If you are sorry, you should leave the same way you came and never come back,” Brandon said
“Brandon, you can’t just say that he’s our mother,” Jessica said and Brandon shot her a deadly glare
“Brandon please forgive me, I’m so sorry I left you and your sister years ago. I’m back now, I promise I will make up for those times I wasn’t around and fix everything” Arianna said and Brandon stared at her without saying a word and then he finally spoke.
At first, he felt so angry at her, but as he stared at her, his looks softened.
She was still his mom, he missed her so much and he still love her. This marriage in the first place was to make sure he finds his mom and now he has.
“You want my forgiveness?” Brandon asked and Arianna nodded in response.
“You are going to help me find Hannah, earn Hannah’s forgiveness, and make things right”
