“Welcome to the land of wealth and riches, honey. Nothing is too expensive when money is involved”

Two weeks later
Hannah is seen climbing down the stairs, all dressed, ready to resume the MacKenzie company as the new CEO.
Just then she saw Arianna, walking out of the kitchen putting on a white long robe making her look so sexy. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hands.
She could swear that nobody would believe that this woman was in her 50s but she looked so young and sexy. A lot of people would probably think they are sisters.
“Good morning mom” Hannah muttered as she moved towards her and kissed her on the cheeks.
“Good morning honey. I can see you are all set for work” Arianna said with a smile plastered on her face, as she examined Hannah’s dress.
“It’s your first day as CEO, remember what I told you. You are now Cinderella Mackenzie, you should never let anyone intimidate you, heads high, walk majestically.
And if anyone dares disrespect you, fire them immediately. Think high of yourself, you are now the queen of Mackenzie’s kingdom ” Arianna said and Hannah smiled and nodded in response.
“The driver is waiting outside, and my PA is waiting for you in the company to put you through everything you need to know. You don’t want to be late, you should start going” Arianna said and Hannah smiled at her and nodded in response.
She hugged Arianna and was about to leave when she suddenly felt dizzy.
“Are you alright, Hannah?” Arianna asked and Hannah nodded. Just as she was about to move she felt her head start spinning and just then she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Hannah opened her eyes and then noticed she was in her room.
“Hannah” she heard Arianna call her and she turned to her.
“What happened?” Hannah said as she tried standing up from the bed.
“You passed out,” Arianna said and helped her sit properly on the bed.
“Oh my goodness! I must be so tired. That would have been the reason I passed out, I’m so sorry” Hannah said and Arianna smiled at her.
“You shouldn’t apologize. I asked the doctor to come to check on you and he did. He had just left for quite a long time, “ Arianna said and paused.
“Ok, but I’m fine now. I need to go to work now, I’m fine” Hannah said and tried standing up from the bed but suddenly paused when Arianna broke the news to her.
“You are one week pregnant, Hannah”
*******************
I can’t be pregnant!! It’s not possible!! I can’t be carrying the child of someone who I don’t even know. That rapist owns this pregnancy. I can’t keep it” Hannah said as tears welled up in her eyes.
“You can’t remove it either. You have to keep the pregnancy, you can’t kill an innocent baby” Arianna said and Hannah stared at her with tears in her eyes.
She would love to keep this baby but she was scared. At first, she didn’t know the rapist or his identity. She didn’t even see him that night.
And the fact that all the babies she’s given birth to in the past had died immediately after they were born scared her, and the last pregnancy she had, she lost it. She was scared something like that would happen again.
“I understand how you feel Hannah. You should keep the baby, I’ll help you take care of it. You have me, you do not need to worry about anything” Arianna said and Hannah nodded in response.
Arianna moved toward Hannah and engaged her in a warm hug.
“You are going to be fine,” Arianna said, patting Hannah’s back.
*******four Months later*******NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Hannah is seen alighting a black sports car which looked very expensive.
She was putting on a black suit. Even though her stomach was big from the pregnancy, the suit still fitted her perfectly well.
She would have worn her normal long and big gowns, but because she was going to be attending a meeting with the board members, she needed to look professional.
Just then Hannah’s assistant rushed towards Hannah and collected her bag from her.
“Welcome ma’am Ella” Her PA, Chelsea greeted with her head bowed and Hannah smiled at her.
Everybody in Mackenzie’s company knows her as Cinderella Mackenzie. Instead of calling her Cinderella, they call her Ella which is short for Cinderella.
“Is my mom here yet?” Hannah asked.
Arianna had left home so early saying she needed to meet with some people to discuss business, that she would be attending the board meeting.
“Yes ma’am, she’s in the boardroom with the board members, and the board meeting will commence in the next 15 minutes, ” Chelsea said Hannah nodded and checked her phone as it vibrated. It was a text from her mom Arianna asking her where she was.
“You should drop my bag in my office and bring my documents, it’s on my office table. I’ll be in the boardroom” Hannah said and Chelsea nodded in response as they walked inside the company,
The past few months haven’t been an easy one for Hannah. After she found out she was pregnant, Arianna asked her to rest, till she gave birth before she would Resume as the CEO.
But Hannah insisted on working and Arianna had no choice but to accept her decision. She would do anything to make Hannah happy.
*****Hours later******
The board meeting is already over and Hannah is seen walking out of the board room with her mom, Arianna.
Suddenly one of the board members walked towards them.
“Ma’am Ella. Your presentation was great. It would surely lead this company to another level. Keep up the good works” The board member said Hannah smiled at her and she walked away.
Arianna stared at Hannah with a smile on her face, she was a hardworking person, and truth be told she was so proud of Hannah. She was proud of the woman she was becoming. She didn’t regret the day she helped her.
******5 months later******
A black car screeched to a halt in front of the hospital.
Arianna rushed out of the car and rushed inside the hospital to call the nurse. Her daughter was in labor, and Hannah is about to give birth.
The nurse rushed out and helped Hannah inside the emergency room.
Arianna is seen pacing to and fro in front of the emergency room, looking so tense and scared. She knew giving birth wasn’t such an easy process and Hannah had been inside the delivery room with the doctors for over an hour.
She just hopes she’s okay. She could hear Hannah screaming in pain, This made cold shivers run down her spine.
Just then her voice suddenly died down, Arianna became scared and immediately the door to the delivery room burst open revealing the doctor.
“You are Mrs. Mackenzie right?” the doctor asked with a smile on her face and Arianna nodded in response.
“Congratulations, your daughter has just given birth to Octuplets.
Four boys and four girls” the doctor said and Arianna opened her eyes wide in shock.
“Octuplets!!”
