Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets

Meanwhile, Hannah’s car came to a stop inside her compound. She and the octuplets alighted the car. She had gone to pick up the kids from school immediately after she left the restaurant.

“Welcome ma’am” the maid greeted with their heads bowed and Hannah nodded. She asked the maid to go bring the kid’s bags from the car, while the Nannies take the kids upstairs and help them change their clothes and take their baths.

She walked past them and collapsed on the couch tiredly, lots of thoughts going through her mind. The fact that she was getting married to a stranger. She didn’t have the intention of getting married again, not after what Jeff did to her.

But now she’s left with no choice but to marry Brandon Colby, for the sake of Mackenzie’s company. Arianna had sacrificed a lot for Hannah in the past, she felt it was her turn to repay her.

She needed to do it, if not for any reason but for the sake of Arianna but how was she going to break the news to her kids that she was getting married? She wondered what their reaction would be and this also means one thing, Brandon Colby would now be a father to her kids, she thought and sighed softly.

Maybe, she shouldn’t tell her kids she was getting married, she would just tell them they are moving into their new home.

No, the Octuplets are very smart, they were surely gonna figure it out by themselves, maybe it’s better she tells them, She thought and then closed her eyes briefly.

“Mommy” Jayden the eldest of the Octuplets called out jolting Hannah out of her thoughts.

Hannah raised her head and saw the octuplets standing in front of her with uneasy looks on their faces.

“Sweethearts, what’s wrong?” Hannah asked as she stared at the kids, it was then she noticed they had already taken their bath and changed into their home wear. That was so fast, does that mean I have been lying on the couch for more than twenty minutes, Hannah thought.

“Mommy, are you alright?” Allison asked and Lisa smiled at the kids.

“Mommy is fine,” Hannah said in response as she sat up properly on the couch, while Allison sat beside her and the rest of the kids sat on the ground in front of her,

“You’ve been looking stressed since you came to pick us up from school, are you sure you okay mommy?” Aubrey and Audrey asked and Hannah smiled at them.

“And the drive here was so silent too. Is something bothering you, mommy? Is anyone trying to hurt you?” Jaxon asked with a worried look

“Mommy, if anyone is trying to bother you, you can tell us about it and we will deal with that person,” jasper said

“Yes mommy, you can tell us what is wrong and we promise to protect you,” Jamie said

“Grandma asked us to take care of you and make sure you are happy, mommy, you can tell us anything” Addison added and Hannah felt her heart melt as she stared at her kids.

“Mommy is fine sweethearts, mommy is just stressed with work. I promised I’m fine” Hannah said with a smile on her face and The kids smiled at her in return.

“Thank you for caring for mommy. This means a lot” Hannah said as tears gathered in her eyes. The kids were her only source of happiness in the world. She loves them so much and would do anything to protect them, even in death.

She would even kill for her kids, that’s how far she’s willing to go to protect them from anyone who tries to harm them.

“We love you, mommy,” The kids said and stood up as they went to hug Hannah.

“I love you all,” Hannah said as tears slipped down her cheeks. Having these octuplets was such a blessing to her.

She quickly wiped her tears and pulled away from the hug.

“So, how was your first day at school today? And do you like the school? Did you guys make new friends?” Hannah asked and the kids stared at each other without saying a word.

Hannah raised her eyebrows waiting for them to speak but none of them did. The kids kept staring at each other waiting for who to speak first.

Hannah immediately understood the looks they were giving each other. Something had happened in school.

“Oh my goodness! What happened in school?” Hannah asked, this time with a worried face on, but the kids still didn’t say a word.

“Jayden!” Hannah called and Jayden hesitated before he spoke.

“They started it, they were trying to bully us. We just couldn’t sit and watch them bully us. We needed to teach them a big lesson” Jayden said and turned to Jamie

“Which we did, we just taught them a small lesson, not as big as Jayden said,” Jamie said with a smirk on his face.

“Next time, they will know more than to mess with Mackenzie’s queens and kings,” Addison said and Hannah stared at the kids speechlessly as they spoke.

“I thought I told you guys not to get into a fight no matter what?” Hannah asked

“Point of correction mommy, we didn’t fight. We only beat them up” Aubrey said with her tiny voice and Hannah stared at the little one speechlessly.

“Mommy, we can’t let them step on us. Grandma told us not to let anyone step on us, we are the kings and queens of the Mackenzie, and anyone who dares to mess with us should be taught a lesson they never forget ” Allison said and Hannah began to wonder what Arianna had been teaching the kids in her absence.

“Grandma also said we should protect each other,” Jasper said and just then Hannah heard her phone ring.

“And also love each other because we are family and family is everything,” Audrey said and Hannah felt her heart melt at the word *family is everything*

She brought out the phone from her pocket and checked the caller’s ID. It was Arianna calling on a video call.

“Speaking of grandma,” Hannah thought as she answered the phone call.

“Hannah, honey” Arianna voiced out over the phone with a smile on her face.

“It’s grandma” the kids yelled happily at once and Hannah could see the looks on Arianna’s face change into a cheerful one. Hannah rolled her eyes.

“My cupcakes” Arianna smiled as Hannah turned the camera to the kids.

“Grandma, we miss you,” the kids said at once.

“I missed you guys too. I just have some important jobs to do here in New York, I promise once I’m done, I’ll join you guys in Atlanta” Arianna said and the kids nodded happily with a smile on their faces.

“That’s all for now kids, go back to your room. I need to speak with grandma alone! You guys can call her later and speak with her” Hannah said and the kids nodded obediently as they stood up and went upstairs to their room.

“How’re the kids and how was their first day at school?” Arianna asked

“Mom, it was a disaster. I just found out they beat up someone. What the f*ck have you been teaching them?” Hannah asked and Arianna smiled.

“Mom, I’m serious here, it’s not funny,” Hannah said

“Calm down Hannah, I only taught them to stand up for themselves and let no one step on them, they are the upcoming kings and queens of Mackenzie’s empire. They need to learn to fight for themselves”
