Chapter 224
“Don’t go, stay with me. I need you” Hannah said and Brandon nodded and held her hands. Just then she went silent.
He let go of her hands and hopped inside the car, he ignited the engine and zoomed off at once.
Meanwhile, the moment Brandon left with Hannah, Lucas turned to Jeff angrily.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“And who the hell told you I’m in love with Hannah” he asked as he moved towards him and gripped him by his collar then punched him by his mouth.
“Even a blind man can see it by the way you stare at her” Jeff said as he spit out blood and Lucas punched him again.
He kept punching Jeff but just then Thomas pulled Lucas away from Jeff.
“What do you think you are doing?” He asked as he held Lucas, and then turned to Jeff who was bleeding.
“What the hell is going on here?” Thomas asked but then Lucas didn’t say a word, instead, he gave Jeff one last glance before walking away.
Thomas moved towards Jeff and helped him stand up from the ground.
“Are you okay? What happened? You are bleeding” He said to Jeff who touched his nose and then saw blood.
Bastard, I’m going to make you pay for this, he thought angrily.
“I’m fine and Thomas, I’m okay,” he said as he brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned his nose and mouth, and with that, he walked away.
Thomas stood with a confused expression on his face wondering what had happened.
Brandon on the other hand had just driven inside his compound.
He alighted the car and helped Hannah out of the car as he carried her in a bridal style. Her eyes were closed, so he felt she was asleep all through the ride.
He was glad it was already dark, the kids would be asleep as he didn’t want them to see her this way.
He walked inside the house and luckily, no one was downstairs. He climbed upstairs to her room and gently put her on the bed.
He stared at her beautiful petite face. He blamed himself for what had happened, he should have been with her this whole time if not this wouldn’t have happened.
He sighed as he caressed her face. He kissed her lightly on her cheeks and was about to stand up when she held his clothes making him stop.
“Please don’t go,” she said as she slightly opened her eyes.
“Hey I’m here, I’m not going anywhere,” he said as he held her hands. Just then he heard her sniff, and boom she burst into tears.
“Hey, hey, why are you crying?” He asked but she kept on crying without saying a word.
“I’m here alright, stop crying,” he said and then laid beside her, putting her head on his chest, while caressing her hair, and then she became calm.
Brandon smiled at the thought of her acting like a baby.
“I’m so scared,” she said and Brandon raised his eyebrows.
“Why are you scared, honey?” He asked and she burst into tears again.
“I’m scared of getting hurt. I love you, Brandon, I do, I’m just scared of getting hurt. I have been in love in the past and it ended in pain and tears, I’m just scared” she said as more tears slipped down her cheeks.
“Hey, you don’t have to be scared, I won’t hurt you, I promise. Stop crying” he said and she nodded as she sniffed.
“Do you promise not to stop loving me no matter what?” She asked.
“I promise you on my life, I will never stop loving you, I promise,” he said and then wiped her tears.
He always knew she felt the same way he felt about her, she’s just scared of getting hurt because of what Jeff had done to her in the past. He understands how she feels, any human in her shoes will, he thought while caressing her hair.
Just then she stood up from the bed.
“Where are you going?” He asked
“To the bathroom, I wanna use the bathroom,” she said and then Brandon nodded and stood up then took her to the bathroom.
He looked away while she was using the bathroom, and when she was done he helped her stand up.
They were about to walk out of the bathroom when she suddenly threw up all over her body.
“Hey, you’re gonna be fine,” he said to her as he took her back to the bathroom, helped her clean her body, and changed her dress.
He then carried her to the bed and laid her properly on it. He had wanted to call the maids to come clean up the vomit on the ground but then, he decided to do it himself.
When he was done, he took his bath and changed his clothes because she had also thrown up on him.
“Brandon ” he heard her call his name.
“I’m here, I’m here,” he said as he lay beside her on the bed, while her head was on his chest.
He knew whatever she was saying and doing now, she wasn’t herself, she was going to kill him for sleeping beside her when the drinks wore off, he thought and then the thought of her made him smile.
Everything about this lady drives him crazy and he finds himself falling for her every moment that passes by. She was his weakness, and he would do anything to protect her, even if it meant killing someone, he thought, and then closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
It was morning and Hannah had opened her blurry eyes, she hummed as he rested her head properly on Brandon’s chest.
She’s never felt this comfortable, what kind of pillow is this, she thought and then opened her eyes and suddenly jumped off the bed when she saw Brandon lying beside her and she had drooled on his chest.
She opened her mouth wide in shock wondering what Brandon was doing on her bed and what had happened between them last night.
“Hey pretty, you are awake,” Brandon said as he smiled while staring at her pretty face.
“What happened last night? Oh my goodness! Did we have sex?” She asked and Brandon smirked.
“Yes, we did, you were all over me last night begging me to have sex with you, I didn’t want to, but you took advantage of me,” Brandon said and Hannah yelled.
“What??”
