Arianna stared at Daniel who was staring at Hannah. She turned to Hannah who had no expression on her face.
“Hannah is your daughter…..” Daniel said and Hannah who hadn’t said a word, stared at Arianna and then turned to Daniel.
Tears gathered in her eyes. At that moment she was speechless, everyone was left speechless.
Brandon and Jessica stared at each other. And then Brandon turned to Hannah and their eyes came in contact. There was a deep silence between everyone. Everyone was short of words.
But then Lisa broke the silence and spoke.
“I’m not surprised. The both of you look so much alike. I don’t know why you all are shocked” Lisa said as she sat on the chair and took a deep sigh.
Humphery on the other hand sighed and turned to Jessica.
“Uhm, I’ll be on my way now,” he needed to leave the family to settle their issues.
“Alright, I’m sorry for all the trouble..”
“It’s fine,” he said and smiled at Jessica before walking away. The moment he walked away Lucas went after him.
“Humphery” he called and Humphrey who was about to open the door paused and turned to him. Lucas moved towards him and then stared at him with a look of anger on his face.
He turned and stared around making sure no one was watching before he spoke.
“I don’t want you here anymore, do not show your face here anymore..”
“Are you threatening me?” Humphrey asked as he raised his eyebrows and Lucas sighed and moved closer to him and whispered.
“I don’t know, if you see it as a threat or anything, I don’t care. I’m only warning you, I do not want to see you here anymore” he said and with that, he walked away leaving Humphrey alone.
Humphery on the other hand sighed and then opened the door before walking away.
Lucas went back to the dining area where everyone was.
Hannah on the other hand was still in shock with the revelation of just now.
She stared at Arianna not knowing what to say.
“The woman I thought was my mother?…” Hannah turned to Daniel.
“She wasn’t your mother Hannah, ” Daniel said and Hannah nodded.
“Hannah…” Arianna tried touching her but then she moved back.
“Hannah please…”
“I… I need some fresh air” she said as she glanced at Daniel one more time and then at Brandon before she walked out of the house.
Brandon stood up and went after her.
Hannah, who had walked out of the house, stood outside the house beside her car. Her mouth shivered as tears slipped down her cheeks.
“Hannah” Brandon called and she turned to him with tears streaming down her cheeks. Her mouth was shivering.
Brandon stared at her, he could see she was in so much pain. All this was just too much for her to process.
“Hey,” Brandon nodded and pulled her into a warm hug.
“Get me out of here, Brandon” she cried and Brandon nodded as he pulled away from the hug.
He opened the car door for her and she entered the car. He closed the door and hopped inside the driver’s seat.
He stared at Hannah who was staring outside the window. He ignited the engine and placed his hands on hers before zooming off.
Meanwhile Arianna on the other hand had wanted to go after her but Lucas held her.
“You should give her space, she needs time to process all she’s heard,” Lucas said and Arianna nodded and then turned to Daniel. She glared at him with pure hatred in her eyes.
“I’m sorry for everything, Camilla. I’m sorry for….”
“Get out,” Arianna said, cutting off his speech.
“Camilla I……”
“I said get out!!!” She said and he stared at her for a few seconds not wanting to leave.
“You should leave Mr Daniel,” Lucas said and Daniel stared at her and nodded before walking out of the house.
The moment he opened the door to leave, Micheal walked in. They both stared at each other and then walked past each other. Micheal on the other hand wondered who the man was.
Maybe he’s a client of Brandon, he thought as he walked fully inside the house.
Meanwhile, Arianna who sat on the chair looking weak, raised her head when she saw Micheal.
Micheal stared at everyone who had weird looks on their faces. He stared at Arianna, she had tears in her eyes but she was trying so hard to push back those tears.
He wondered what was going on.
“Micheal” Arianna called and stood up and quickly hugged him.
“Are you okay? What’s wrong?” He asked with a worried expression on his face.
Arianna pulled away from the hug and then beckoned for him to follow her upstairs to her room which he did.
Jessica stared at Lucas and then sighed.
“Worst dinner ever!!” Jessica said and sat on the chair and then turned to Lisa who was staring at her.
“What are you staring at?” She asked and Lisa rolled her eyes.
“Don’t start with me, Jessica” Lisa said and Jessica shot her a deadly glare.
“Can the both of you shut up and not start, please?” Lucas said and they both signed.
“Does that mean Hannah is our step-sister? Oh my goodness, Brandon got married to his step-sister and gave birth to the octuplets ” Jessica said and Lucas gave her a weird look.
“What nonsense are you saying? We ain’t step siblings ” Lucas said and Lisa hummed as she gave Lucas a weird look.
“We are obviously stepping siblings, mom gave birth to us all, we are fucking related,” she said and Lucas rolled his eyes.
“Can you just shut up Jessica and stop saying nonsense…” Lucas said and Lisa hummed.
“Whatever!!” Jessica muttered as she rolled her eyes.
Lucas then heard his phone ring, he stared at the caller’s ID and then ended the call. He glared at Lisa and then walked away.
Lisa on the other hand kept staring at Lucas till he was out of sight: she felt Lucas knew something about all of this going on. He was hiding something or probably up to something.
She wondered what he was hiding.
