Chapter 177
“No! No! No!!, you can’t turn yourself over to him. You won’t do that.
I have got this all figured out, I just need a little more time” Brandon said as he brought out his phone and quickly dialed Liam’s number.
He walked away from Hannah and Arianna immediately Liam answered the phone call.
“What did you find Liam? I hope it’s something that can help stop him” Brandon said and he heard Liam sigh.
“You won’t believe what I found, Brandon” Liam said and he raised his eyebrows wondering what he had found.
“Your father has another family in Mexico. He has a wife, two daughters, and a little boy” Liam said and Brandon became numb at what he just heard.
His father left them only to start a family in another place, he thought, and just then he saw Jessica climbing down the stairs with Matthew beside her.
He wondered how she would feel when she found out their father had another family elsewhere.
“Are you there, Brandon?” Liam asked when he didn’t hear any more sound.
“Yeah, of course I am. When will you be arriving in Atlanta?” Brandon asked.
“It’s late already, I will be arriving tomorrow at noon,” Liam said and Brandon nodded before he hung up.
He walked towards Arianna who was still trying to convince Hannah that she needed to turn herself in but Hannah refused to agree.
“What’s going on?” Jessica, who had just come downstairs with Matthew by her side, asked and Hannah explained everything to her.
“What? Hell no, you ain’t giving yourself to Wilson. He’s going to kill you without thinking twice about it” Jessica said and Arianna sighed softly.
“You should go back to your room, Mom. I have got this under control” Brandon said and Arianna glanced at him for a few seconds and sighed softly.
She walked away from them and went upstairs to her room.
Brandon turned to Micheal.
“I want you to keep an eye on my mother,” Brandon said to Micheal who nodded and went upstairs to meet Arianna.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Why would Wilson be doing all of this? Aren’t we his children, he’s supposed to love us and not harm us,” Jessica said looking so sad and worried.
Brandon stared at Jessica and sighed. He knows the moment Jessica finds out he has a family elsewhere, she is gonna break down.
There is Jeff, who is their sibling and now he has another family. That man is so weird, Brandon thought and with that, he walked upstairs to his study room.
Hannah followed Brandon to his study room.
Brandon, who had noticed Hannah was in the study room, glanced at her and looked away.
“I noticed you’ve been acting all weird. What are you up to, what are you hiding from me?” Hannah asked
“Nothing,” Brandon said and Hannah scoffed knowing fully well that Brandon was lying.
“Okay then, who were you on the phone with just now?” Hannah asked and Brandon frowned. He wasn’t in a good mood right now, all he could think about was stopping Wilson.
“It’s a friend of mine from the FBI,” Brandon said and Hannah hummed.
“I thought you said we shouldn’t involve the FBI, why involve them now?” Hannah asked and Brandon sighed knowing fully well she had caught him.
Hannah was just like her kids, they are always quick to detect lies, now he sees where the kids got their investigating spirit from, he thought as he stared at the woman in front of him waiting for him to say a word.
“You should be resting, Hannah. You should be with the kids” Brandon said and Hannah hummed.
“Okay then bye,” she said and was about to walk out when Brandon called her back making her stop.
He didn’t want to tell her Liam was out of Prison, he knew now she suspected him of hiding something, once she leaves, she’s gonna bring that topic into every conversation they have.
“Okay fine wait,” He said and Hannah smiled and rolled her eyes. She quickly replaced the smile on her face with a frown and turned to him.
“I bailed Liam out of prison,” Brandon said and Hannah muttered an “oh ” with the look of surprise on her face.
Brandon on the other hand wasn’t expecting that reaction, she expected her to yell, or something but she didn’t.
He raised his eyebrows waiting for her to say something she didn’t say a word but then she finally spoke.
“I have no problem with you bailing him out of prison, I had wanted to tell you for a very long time to bail him out but I felt you should be the one to think about it.
I get the fact that what he did was wrong, he lied to you and betrayed you, but viewing it from another angle, I don’t think he meant to kill Rhoda, he did it out of self-defense.
Even though he lied and made me go to prison, I forgive him though” Hannah said and Brandon stared at Hannah without saying a word. He felt speechless at what she just said.
“But Hannah….”
“He’s your friend, Brandon. Your Brother. You’ve known him for a very long time even before I came into the picture. Whatever happened is now between you and him, you should sort out whatever it is and forgive him.
Give him another chance, every human deserves a second chance” Hannah said, cutting off Brandon’s speech.
He had wanted to tell her the reason he bailed him out, but he decided to keep it to himself.
He nodded at what Hannah had just said and smiled at her.
“What kind of woman is this? How can a woman be this kind, beautiful, smart, and all, Brandon thought as he glared at the beautiful woman.
At that moment he felt so lucky to have Hannah in his life, he thought as he smiled.
Just then the smile on Hannah’s face disappeared at once.
She frowned at Brandon as she remembered they were still quarreling. She wouldn’t let what he did slide like that.
He put her kids’ lives in danger and also wanted to lock that housekeeper up, she is so angry at him.
She stood up and shot him a deadly glare.
“What?” Brandon asked and she hissed before walking out of the study room and didn’t say a word to him.
Brandon on the other hand wondered what had just happened and why she was angry again all of a sudden.
