Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets

Chapter 244

It was a Sunday morning and Hannah was awoken by the sound of a knock on her door.

"Hannah" she heard Arianna's voice followed by a knock. She stood up, looking so tired, and went to open the door.

"Mom" she muttered as she saw Arianna holding a tray of food in her hands.

"Hey honey, are you alright?" she asked as she entered the room and dropped the food tray on the table.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she said tiredly as she sat on the bed.

"You don't look okay to me. You didn't have dinner last night, so I decided to bring breakfast to you" Arianna said and Hannah forced herself into smiling.

"Hey, honey, what is it? You can talk to me about anything" Arianna said and Hannah signed.

"I saw Lisa and Brandon together last night," Hannah said and Arianna opened her mouth surprised.

"What?" she muttered.

"I feel hurt, mommy. And it's unlike me. I feel so weak and this is not me. I do have control over my emotions and how I feel but now I don't know what's happening to me" she said and Arianna smiled and held her hands. "That's what falling in love is, honey. It means being vulnerable. It means losing control" Arianna said and Hannah scoffed.

"This isn't love Mom. I have a fever and need enough rest" she said and then smiled.

Arianna stared at her confused and sighed.

"I'll go get you drugs then," she said and then stood up and left. Hannah heaved a sigh of relief. She can not be in love with Brandon, never!!

I would rather walk the whole street of Atlanta naked than fall in love with Brandon, she thought angrily and just then the door opened revealing Brandon.

She raised her head and stared at him, he was holding a file in his hands.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Hannah, I can explain, whatever you saw last night I can explain," he said and she rolled her eyes.

"You owe me no explanation, Brandon. This is a contract marriage and not a real marriage, sooner or later the contract would expire and we would both go our separate ways and I would leave with my kids and you could be with Lisa. The both of you can live a happy life" she said with a frown on her face.

"Hannah, I..."

"And oh least I forgot, she can be your COO after I'm gone," she said, cutting off his speech. "Hannah...."

"Leave Brandon, I do not want to talk to you," Hannah said and he sighed. He nodded and walked out of the room.

"Wow, he truly left!! He did leave because I asked him to. It's his choice, he can be with Lisa, it's not like I care" she said as she stood up from the bed and took the bread from the tray, chewing it angrily. Just then the door opened again and she saw Brandon.

"What do you want, Brandon?" she asked angrily.

"Uhm, my pen is bad, could you lend me yours?" he asked calmly.

"It's in my bag," she said as she looked away from him, continued eating the bread, and took a sip from her cup of tea.

Meanwhile, Brandon opened her bag and took the pen but then he suddenly saw a divorce lawyer card inside of it.

"Are you seeing a divorce lawyer?" he asked, holding the card in his hands.

Hannah turned to him and didn't say a word. She moved towards him, dragged the card from him and put it in her bag before zipping it off.

"You are seeing a divorce lawyer?" he asked again with a mixture of sadness and anger on his face but she didn't say a word.

"Is that the reason you went to the hotel out of town yesterday?" He asked and she turned to him.

"Are you spying on me?" she asked, looking so furious.

"No, I'm not and I would never do that. Someone sent me a picture of you leaving the hotel" he said and she scoffed and shook her head. "Who did you go to see at the hotel?" he asked angrily.

"Whoever I went to see is none of your concern," she said and was about to leave the room when he stood in front of her blocking her way..

"You are seeing someone else and that's the reason you want a divorce," he said as he stared at her with pain in his eyes.

"God!! This marriage isn't real, I do not even need a divorce to leave. I could leave if I want to" she yelled at him between gritted teeth.

"How long has this been going on and who is the guy you are seeing?" he asked as he tightened his fist.

Hannah stared at him speechless. How could he accuse her of seeing someone else when she isn't? What does he see her as? she thought angrily and then gave him a dirty slap on his face. He was shocked by the slap she had given him.

"I'm done with you, I'm done with this fake marriage, I'm done with you", she made to walk past him but he held her hands and pulled her back.

"Let go of me Brandon," she yelled as she struggled to free herself from his grip.

"You are not done with me, neither are you with this marriage. You are going nowhere, Hannah.

I pay you to be my wife. 30 million a year.

Isn't that the reason you signed the contract in the first place? Yes, it's a contract, you signed it and you are going nowhere.

I'll find whoever you are seeing and make sure I kill him.

You are mine, Hannah. Mine!!" he yelled and she slapped him again.

"You are crazy," she said and pushed him out of her way before walking out of the room.

She sighed the moment she walked out of the room. She went downstairs and sat in the dining room.

Just then she saw Lisa climbing down the stairs.
