Chapter 111
Hannah opened her eyes in shock as she saw Brandon Colby, kneeling in front of her asking for her forgiveness.
“I’m sorry Hannah, I’m sorry I hurt you, It was my 24th birthday. I was drugged and placed in the same room with you, I couldn’t control myself.
I am so sorry Hannah, it’s my fault, I am sorry, please forgive me” Brandon said and Hannah stared at him without saying a word.
Her looks softened as she stared at him. She didn’t know the full story, he was a victim too. He was drugged and didn’t know what he was doing, Hannah thought as she stared at him.
She looked away from him immediately.
“You should stand up. This is an office and anyone can walk in at any minute.
You do not want your workers to see you kneeling” Hannah said, looking away from Brandon.
“I do not care if anyone sees me. All I want is for you to forgive me” Brandon said and hannah bit her lips nervously.
“Fine, I’ll forgive you on one condition, ” Hannah said and Brandon wondered what condition it was.
“What condition?” Brandon asked.
“The condition that you find out who killed Rhoda,” Hannah said and Brandon nodded.
“Consider it done, ” Brandon said, and then Hannah was about to walk away when he called her name making her pause and he went up from his knees.
He walked towards Hannah and then stood in front of her.
Hannah raised her head and stared at his eyes, she didn’t know why, all of a sudden she started feeling nervous and she could feel her heart running a marathon race as her breathing became intense.
Brandon raised his hands and removed a strand of her hand that was lying on her face. He then touched her face and Hannah closed her eyes feeling the moment.
Just then she opened her eyes when she realized what she was doing. She was falling for his charm again.
She moved away from him immediately.
“Get out of my office,” she said and Brandon stood there staring at her.
“I said get out!” She said and Brandon nodded before walking out of her office, to his.
Hannah sat on the couch and placed her hands on her chest, trying to calm herself down. She didn’t know why, when Brandon had touched her, for some minutes, she felt so calm and relaxed.
An intense feeling that she couldn’t describe running through her veins. She sighed softly and laid her back on the couch.
She wondered why her looks softened when she saw him on his knees, she quickly shook away the thoughts of Brandon from her mind before it starts to consume her.
Brandon on the other hand could be seen in his office staring into nothing, when the door opened revealing Liam. Brandon barely noticed Liam in his office.
“Hey,” Liam muttered, jolting Brandon out of his thoughts.
Brandon sighed softly.
“What’s wrong?” Liam asked
“Hannah wants me to find out who killed Rhoda,” Brandon said and Liam felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
“What? How does she expect you to find the killer” Liam said nervously
“I do not know,” Brandon said and sighed
“What are you going to do now?” Liam asked
“Find out who killed her, if it’s the only way for her to forgive me, I’ll do it,” Brandon said and Liam swallowed hard.
He felt so scared immediately, he knows Brandon, if he set his mind on something, he does everything in his power to make sure he gets what he wants.
“I tried finding out who the killer was but couldn’t find the killer. Even with her phone stolen from evidence, I just couldn’t get a lead,” Liam said trying to discourage Brandon.
“Maybe you didn’t try enough. Besides I’m not going to do the investigation alone, I’m going to ask for help from someone” Brandon said
“Who?” Liam asked.
“Micheal Adams. He’s an FBI and I’m sure he’s dealt with a lot of cases like this. If I give him Rhoda’s phone, with his connection, he might be able to find out who the real killer is” Brandon said and Liam mouthed what? Making Brandon give him a weird look.
“I mean, once they found out I stole the phone from evidence, I will be in trouble,” Liam said
“That’s why I’m not giving it to the FBI, itself. I’m giving it to Micheal, you shouldn’t be scared alright” Brandon said and Liam nodded.
He’s failed in discouraging Brandon, now all he has to do is to find the phone and take it. He knows if the phone gets to Micheal’s hand, he could find out a number was deleted from the phone.
He’s spent some time with Micheal when the octuplets went missing, he could swear the guy is so fucking smart, he thought.
“When is my meeting with Mr Holland?” Brandon asked
“In the next 20 minutes,” Liam said
“Okay, I should be on my way now, tell Hannah to meet me at the car,” Brandon said as he stood up and picked up his car keys and some files then walked out of the office.
Liam nodded and then stared at the office immediately Brandon left. He walked towards Brandon’s office table and opened the locker in it searching for the phone but couldn’t find it.
He kept on searching for it, opening all the locks but couldn’t find it. It got to the last locker, it was locked with a code.
He guessed the code but didn’t get it, he tried again but didn’t get it. He sighed softly, he was sure the phone was in there. He just needs to crack the password and open it and take the phone.
He sat on the chair thinking of what password Brandon could have possibly used.
He then thought of Hannah. He knows how much Brandon loves Hannah, maybe the date they had met first was the code because Brandon loved talking about the first time he met Hannah and how he had asked the guards to throw her out of his office.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
He then tried the date and luckily, it opened. Liam sighed softly and was about to open the locker when the door burst open.
