C9 Brandon colby

Hannah walked inside her kid's room and met them playing with their toys. With the way they were looking so calm, one would think they weren't the ones turning the whole house upside down some minutes ago.

“Mommy” Addison called as she saw Hannah walk inside the room. She dropped her toy and went to hug her mommy, while the rest of the kids did the same.

Hannah smiled and sat on the ground while the kids surrounded her.

“Mommy, do you want to tell us a story?” Audrey asked happily.

“No honey, I'm here to tell you, guys, something else,” Hannah said and the kids raised their eyebrows staring at her, waiting for her to speak.

“Sweethearts, we are leaving New York City, “ Hannah said and the kids opened their eyes wide in shock.

“We are leaving?” Jaxon asked and Hannah nodded in response.

“Why mommy,” Allison asked

“Why are we leaving mommy?” Jasper asked curiously

“And where are we going?” Aubrey asked and Hannah smiled. If there was one thing about her kids, they love asking questions a lot.

“Sweethearts, mommy has some work to do in Atlanta, so we will be moving to Atlanta by tomorrow noon,” Hannah said and Audrey sighed sadly.

“I'm going to be leaving my friends here in New York. I'm going to miss this place” Audrey said sadly.

“Honey, the people in Atlanta are very nice. I promise you gonna like them” Hannah said and Audrey nodded in response.

“Mommy, will we get to see our daddy when we go to Atlanta?” Jamie asked and Hannah felt her heartbeat increase. This was the first time in how many years that her kids were asking about their father.

She didn't want to prolong the issue, so she just told him, yes, they would get to meet their father. The funniest thing is that she doesn't even know the father of her kids, she wouldn't recognize him if she sees him anywhere, she thought as the memories of that night came running into her head.

She quickly shook off the thoughts.

“I can’t wait to go to a new city besides I’m tired of New York City,” Jayden said and her sisters rolled their eyes at him.

“Honey, promise me you all are gonna stay out of trouble and protect each other when we get to Atlanta,” Hannah said

“I promise mommy, I’m going to protect my siblings, especially my stubborn sisters, and would make sure none of us get into trouble, “ Jasper said and Allison scoffed. Hannah smiled.

If there was one thing about her kids, they were so smart and understanding but sometimes she barely recognized them and began to ask if she was the one who gave birth to them.

********Atlanta*******

Hannah had just Arrived in Atlanta with her kids and two of their nannies. A black car had come to pick them up from the airport and take them to the house Arianna had in Atlanta.

The car screeched to a halt in front of a big mansion. The car door opened and the octuplets ran out of the car in a rush and ran inside the mansion. Their nannies ran after them immediately.

“Wow, grandma’s house is so big and beautiful” the kids yelled at once.

“I think I’m starting to like it here already” Audrey yelled and walked towards the long couch and collapsed on it.

Hannah, who had walked inside the house, smiled as she saw her kids scrutinizing the whole area.

Just then a woman walked out of the kitchen, smiling as she walked towards Hannah.

“You must be Sandra, right?” Hannah asked as she saw the woman and she nodded in response. Arianna had told her that someone was looking after the house and her name was Sandra. She’s the housekeeper.

“And you are Cinderella Mackenzie right?” Sandra asked

“Oh yes, you can call me Hannah. It’s nice meeting you” Hannah said and brought out her hands for a handshake which Sandra gladly accepted.

“Welcome. Your room and that of the kids are all set. I hired some maids already and they are preparing something for you guys.

You can go upstairs, take your bath and rest then come downstairs and eat, and do not hesitate to let me know if you need anything, “ Sandra said and Hannah nodded.

“Thank you very much,” Hannah said and Sandra nodded.

The nannies took the kids to their room, while Hannah went to hers. She lay on her bed tiredly.

She couldn’t believe she was back in Atlanta, the city where her life was ruined, she thought memories of everything that had happened came running into her head.

She quickly shook off the thoughts. She wouldn’t let the memories or the past distract her from what she came to do in Atlanta.

She came for two reasons, one was to convince Brandon Colby to partner with their company just to save their company’s name and two was to hurt those people who hurt her in the past,

Just then Hannah heard her phone ring. It was a call from her mother, Arianna.

“Mom” she called as she answered the phone call.

“Honey, how was your trip?” Arianna asked

“It was okay,” Hannah said with a sigh.

“That’s great. Honey, I booked an appointment with you and Mr. Brandon for tomorrow. He would be meeting with you tomorrow at noon at his company, I would send you the necessary documents “ Arianna said Hannah muttered okay and with that, she ended the call.

She sighed softly, she had just arrived and wanted to rest for two days while making her findings about Brandon Colby.

She needed to know Some things about Brandon before approaching him to become a partner with her company, she thought and suddenly a message popped into her phone.

It was a message from Arianna describing Brandon Colby. She had sent a picture of him too. Hannah must confess, he looks so handsome even though he had a frown on his face.

She read the note Arianna had sent along with the picture.

“You must know he's Arrogant and short-tempered. He picks offense easily, so you must mind the words you use on him....” Hannah paused, staring at the long note.

She began to wonder how Arianna knew so much about Brandon Colby.
