“Throne, wake up, if you keep lying down on me like this, I don't think we'll leave the bed” Kayden teased as Gemma's eyes immediately opened as she rushed out of bed. “Kay, how late am I? You should have woken me up earlier, keep this up, and I'll go back to my apartment.” Gemma warned. “What do you mean? Plus, I called in for you, told them you would be late.” Kayden said as Gemma rushed to the closet to bring out her outfit for the day. “You can't do that? People would think I am getting special treatment.” Gemma said. “Of course you are special, you are Mrs. King's!” Kayden said. “I don't recall me being married Kay, besides, who knows what would happen in the future.” Gemma said as she rushed to the bathroom. “True, anything can happen, but that title is yours, babe. You know it.” Kayden assured as Gemma chuckled. “Should I just acquire TC fully?” Kayden asked, trying to get a reaction from Gemma. “Don't you dare, or I'll never talk to you again in this lifetime.”
Mr. Throne walked to the office in full confidence, and he reeked of alcohol. “My boy! A nice place you got….huh?” How did this moron share genes with his queen? “You don't look so pleased, huh..... I am your father-in-law.” Mr. Throne slurred. The expiration the gang had given him was close. If he did not provide the money, he might actually lose his life this time. “What do you really want?” Kayden asked in disgust. “That bitch, Gemma, told my creditors, they should do whatever they like, I came here hoping you would be different.” Kayden looked at the hobo who was slurring left and right. How dare he insult Gemma in his presence. Kayden became physically red with anger, but he clenched his finger in his palms so tight it began to bleed. “I want you to give me some money, that's all.” Mr. Throne ended. “How much do you want” Kayden asked, Gemma would kill him if she found out. “Now we are talking boy! It's actually chicken change to you,500 million is all I a
Gemma got to the mansion as the staff welcomed her. Tabloids of the incident had already spread like wide fire. She was a hot topic on the net and in netizens' mouths. Gemma went straight to the room as she began to pack everything. She was rushing because she didn't want Kayden to see her in this state. She packs all her luggage and heads downstairs. The maids who saw her were in shock. They immediately called for the head maid. “Madam?” The head maid called out. “Please, don't call me that” Gemma said weakly as she pulled her luggage as she exited the house. She dragged her bags to the front where a driver immediately helped her “I don't need your….” “Boss insists that I do this” the driver said as he carried her things Even now, Kayden still cares about her, and what she's doing right now is leeching off him. She really is her father's daughter. The car ride was silent as she looked outside the window, thinking about what life could have been without her abomi
“Are you sure you know a good lawyer?” Ama asked as she dressed the four-year-old, who was stressing her out a bit. “I do.” Alison answered dryly. It's been a week, and their situation has not improved. The landlord and some tugs came to forcefully evacuate them, but Alison fought back, saying that she had a lawyer at TC law firm. Gemma would never agree to help her after everything she had done. She was a terrible mother. A mother who deserted her daughter She had even blamed her for being the cause of the problem. She just needed someone to blame, and she took it out on her poor daughter. She remembered when she had just birthed Gena, she decided to call Gemma but couldn't because of how guilty she felt, so she lied to Gemma that she had cancer, hoping to see her. Alison held Gena's hand softly, hoping Gena would help. She didn't feel good about using Gena, but Gena was her last hope. After 2 long hours, they arrived in front of the legal titan TC law firm.
Gemma listened attentively as she called her assistant. “Find everything about City X's most powerful man.” Gemma said as she wrote down everything Alison narrated. “That's all.” Alison ended after what seemed to be a long rant. “So the development plans don't have any benefits for the people.” Gemma asked one final time, just to be sure. “They are literally making a whole community ho homless for their grand hotel, it's absurd!” Alison huffed. “It's not if the occupants are properly compensated.” “That's the problem they paid only the landlords and had them evacuate occupants forcefully.” Alison chipped in angrily. “And you suspect Thao Gang for this?” Gemma asked Alison. “Yes, members of the gangs have taken it upon their self to see us out of the place.” Alison spat angrily. “Alright then, I'll investigate further and appear in court as your attorney, so don't worry.” Gemma ended as Alison's eyes sparkled with joy. Gemma stood up to see Alison off. They both got stares f
Catherine sat down elegantly at the restaurant. All eyes were on her as she smiled brightly.FLASHBACK, “Mama” Young Kayden called.“Baby!” Catherine responded as she engulfed her son in a long, warm hug.“You look so pretty, Mama. I wrote a song for you.” Young Kayden said happily as he showed his toothless front teeth.“A song, that's beautiful” Catherine said as she looked around to see the maids smiling at both of them.“Mom, let me play it for you on the piano” Kayden smiled as he saw his mother.Catherine looked at her sweet boy as his grey eyes shimmered with hope.He was her heir,Her pride,Most importantly,Her son.“You look so pretty ma” Kayden said as he placed a kiss on Catherine's left cheek, snapping her from her train of thoughts.Catherine looked at her son as she smiled, but this time in pain as she became overwhelmed with guilt.She must have been at of her mind to abandon her precious son because of her ambitions.“Thank you, Kay” Catherine said in shame.“Let's
Gemma and Fair sat down inside the small café of Ama that was connected to their house.“You don't look so happy.” Flair said, trying to lighten the mood.“What gave it away?” Gemma asked as venom dripped from her voice.The chubby man who looked like he was in his 60s didn't know how he was going to appease this green-eyed, raging siren in front of him.“I'll take the injured residents to the hospital..... I'll….emmm"“The problem is the damage your men caused, harassing, violence, threats….how are you going to compensate the residents for this?” Gemma said as she brought out her tab to write something.Tales of Gemma had been told of the green-eyed monster. The woman who rules the courtroom, the undefeated legal siren.If she's for you, then salvation has come, but the moment you find yourself in a situation when she's against you, just throw the towel.The goddess of the courtroom, Gemma Hazel Throne.And here he was in an unfortunate situation where he would have to face this mons
Gemma hummed while waiting for the doctors to finish up Alison's treatment. “You look way better than before” Alison whispered in Gemma's ears “Alison, stop” Gemma chuckled. “You looked really furious a while ago” Alison added. “Work problems” Gemma muttered as she concocted a fake smile. “You said something earlier, something about house hunting.” Alison said as she held Gena as they exited the hospital. “Yes I did, or would you like to follow me to New City? New Lando is also another great choice.” Gemma said as she stroked her chin softly in thoughts. “Throne” Gemma turned towards the voice as she was engulfed in a warm hug. “How did you….” “You forget you are a celebrity, stargram has been going crazy because of you.” Kayden said as he hugged her tighter. “You are making me obsessed with you sir” “I am already obsessed, a drug I cannot….” “You are in front of the family, behave, Kay.” Gemma chuckled. Kayden reluctantly let go of her as he waved her family. “Hi ma
