Chapter 19 Retrieving Grandfather's Company
After a lengthy discussion, Hannah left with the children and their nanny. Ethan held tightly onto her hand, his dad telling him she would be back soon, but for now, he needed to nap. Reluctantly, Ethan rolled into his dad's big bed, and they both fell asleep, exhaustion taking over their emotional day.
Meanwhile, Hannah seethed with anger. She was determined to get even with Charmaine. She discovered that Charmaine was relentless in pursuing Darrian despite his explicit rejections. The more he pushed her away, the more desperate she became. Charmaine seemed willing to do anything to win Darrian back.
Charmaine decided to take matters into her own hands. She recruited her friends to gather information about Lady Rose, determined to uncover any secrets to help her eliminate Hannah and her children's unwelcome presence in her life. She met with her mother, Naomi, who had connections with the darker side of society, the dregs who still respected her for the power she held in their world.
Having once been a part of that lower society herself, Naomi had risen to become a respected member of high society. Together, mother and daughter plotted their next move, knowing they had to act swiftly and decisively to protect their family from Hannah's dangerous obsession with Darrian.
Charmaine sat in her luxurious office, scrolling through the latest designer collections online. Her phone buzzed with a call from her mother, Naomi, who listened intently as Charmaine poured out her worries about Lady Rose's interference in her life with Darrian.
Naomi, a shrewd businesswoman, reassured Charmaine. "Don't fret, darling. I'll handle this Lady Rose situation. After all, no one messes with my precious daughter."
As Charmaine's obsession with securing her relationship with Darrian grew, the company's financial stability slipped further into turmoil. She demanded extravagant, limited-edition items, draining the company's resources.
The company's CEO, Tom Balsam, her father, watched in horror as stocks plummeted due to Charmaine's and her mother's reckless spending. He tried to rein in his family's greed, but their desires knew no bounds.
Hannah's connection with the company's accountant remained strong. He slyly informed her of any adverse developments that impacted the stock prices, prompting her to buy more discounted shares, unknowingly benefiting Hannah.
Unbeknownst to Darrian, Hannah had quietly amassed the majority shares of the company behind the scenes. With forty per cent ownership, she strategised with the accountant to acquire her father's twenty per cent stake and quietly received offers from other shareholders to sell their shares to her.
Hannah kept her newfound power hidden from Darrian, who only held ten per cent of the shares. The accountant advised her to bide her time and wait for the right moment to make her move.
The tension in the company thickened as power dynamics shifted and secrets simmered beneath the surface. Driven by a desire to protect her family, Hannah plotted her next strategic move in the game of power and control.
With the shares plummeting, Hannah bided her time for six months, carefully calculating her moves before finally deciding to buy out all the shareholders. Much to Charmaine's dismay, Hannah now completely controlled the company. Charmaine knew someone from England acquired the stocks and hoped it was a trillionaire who could make a great husband material for her.
As the children's birthday approached, excitement filled the air. Darrian ensured that all the children had the Wright last name, solidifying their family bond. No one knew that all three children were Wright's now except for Grandfather Martin, Darrian and Hannah. He entrusted the birthday party planning to a professional party planner, eager to make it a memorable occasion for the five-year-old trio.

When Charmaine inquired about the party details, she was told that the party planner took care of everything. With his zest for grandeur, Grandfather Martin ordered a water wonder theme for the celebration. Water slides, sprinklers, a makeshift lazy pool, and a river were set up in the backyard. Pirate ships dotted the landscape, adding to the adventurous atmosphere.
Speciality cakes were ordered, a Little Mermaid theme for Becky and pirate-themed cakes for the boys. Children from Ethan's school, friends, and family all gathered for the festive affair. Laughter and joy filled the air as the kids played and enjoyed the various water activities.
The party was a hit, with everyone having a fantastic time. The "three peas," as they were lovingly called, revelled in the attention and the fun activities. Despite Charmaine's attempts to corner Hannah for a confrontation, Hannah skillfully evaded her, ensuring she was always surrounded by supportive people who made her feel safe. The celebrations continued late into the evening, marking a joyous occasion for the family.
Little did they know, more surprises and challenges lay ahead as relationships tangled and secrets threatened to unravel. After the party, Darrian and Hannah took the children home, exhausted but happy from the day's festivities. As they settled the kids into bed, Hannah's phone rang, a call from the trusted accountant that would change everything.
The stocks were finally at the right purchase price, and Hannah wasted no time instructing the accountant to secure every last one. With a mixture of thrill and apprehension, she now owned the company. She planned to surprise her accountant, Richie, at the upcoming board meeting with a gift of shares to solidify his position in the company as a shareholder.
Hannah couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt as she thought about how she had manoeuvred her way into power. Darrian still had no idea of her true identity, believing she was just a distant cousin as her father had claimed. All he knew was that they shared the same last name. Revealing the truth would only complicate things further. She intended for her father to remain the CEO of Balsam Enterprise but with strict limitations on his access to the company's funds. She had paid him handsomely for his shares, ensuring he sat on a vast fortune now inaccessible to him except for a salary.

Hannah told her accountant, Richard Hennings, to inform her father and his family of the changes in their circumstances. The company no longer belonged to them; it now belonged to her corporation in England that Hannah had orchestrated behind the
scenes.
The weight of her actions settled heavily on Hannah's shoulders as she contemplated the intricate web of deception she had woven. But for the sake of her children and her envisioned future, she knew she had to press on with her plans, no matter the cost.
This was her new beginning, and no one knew how she died. The company, which was possessed by her father and his family, would now belong to her. It was her children's heritage, and she had to secure their position. One day, Ethan or Becky would be the Chief Executive Officer for that company.
My Beloved Readers,
Now that Charmaine and Naomi have no direct power in the company but are mere employees, one can only imagine that they would settle down and accept their position instead of creating havoc like they usually do. Let us read to find out what happens to this family.
Love always,
Your author.noveldrama
