Dear Husband, I Came Back To Deal With You 009
“Mother, people come and go all the time…” Derek tried to appease his mother but she was hearing none of it.Derek held his mother dear to him. Don't get it the wrong way, he isn't a man's boy. Ever since his father chose to elope with another woman, he had taken it to himself to build the family business and cater for his mum and younger sister. With his grandfather by his side advising him from a very little age, he soon made a lot of wealth. Knowing how his mother nearly lost her mind after losing her husband to another woman, he vowed not to make her go through any kind of pain. He had wanted to move out of his family house after he turned 20, but looking at his mother, he couldn't.“You know I've never made any wrong decision before….”“This might as well be your first wrong decision. Why leave a well trained and cultured woman for a random street girl, and worse you held a wedding behind my back. I've been planning what I'll wear to your wedding for years. And look at me now, I

“How dare you cheat on me,” Rachel’s loud voice resonated just across the hallway. Everyone’s attention went in her direction. They all watched her storm over to them, her eyes trained on Derek the entire time.“What is she still doing here?” the old man asked, he has never liked Rachel. Samuel had informed him about her escapades, way before Derek found out.The old man enjoyed watching his grandkids from the side and never once has he interfered with their lives, he only steps in when he felt something was beyond their control.“I’ll handle this, grandpa,” Derek said and stepped forward“Hey…” Nora called Gemma’s attention to herself.Gemma whose entire focus had been on Rachel, as she thought of thousands of ways to deal with her. This lady was the reason for the bitterness of the first person that has been genuinely sweet to her without knowing anything other than her name.Looking at Nora, she winked at her “Need more pepper? One container wasn’t enough to keep her away,” she wh

To Daniel, Elena and Rachel were just pawns in the big game he was playing. The truth was that he had only made wealth from seducing rich heiresses and making them fall so stupidly in love with him that they impulsively hand over their family wealth to him. His initial plan was to seduce Gemma, seeing that she was the eldest daughter of the Brauns. He had watched the family from afar and knew that James was very incompetent and Gemma was likely to get the company. So, like he had always done, he approached Gemma and slowly got into her heart, then they started dating. What he never expected was to fall madly for Gemma’s charms, almost altering his plans for her sake. But then, Elena made a move on seducing him. He saw the chance to get free sex and actualise his goal, so he grabbed it. He would take over the company and give Gemma a stable position seeing how she didn't have post of her own at the company, that had been his plan, until everything fell apart on their wedding day.“My w

Derek led Gemma up the stairs, his grandfather and Nora trailed right behind them. Gemma was suddenly exhausted from all the day's drama. Her life has never been this busy before and she has never had this much supportive people around her.“I'll let you stay here for today. But tomorrow morning, the both of you are going for a honeymoon. I'm tired of seeing the same old faces in this house all the time. I need new faces,” the old man complained.“Hire more maids then,” Nora laughed.“I want great grandkids!” He shut her up.The duo laughed, while the newly wedded couple headed up the stairs.“When will your assistant be here?” Gemma asked Derek, the moment they were out of earshot.His gaze fell on her face for a few seconds, leaving her wondering what she might have said wrong, then he sighed and looked away.“He’ll be here tomorrow morning…”“Why not today?” Gemma cut him off.“Are you that eager to sign the contract?” He asked. Gemma raised her head to look at him.“Why not?” she

Derek was trying so hard to hold his laughter. He was so used to pulling his clothes off the moment he walked into his room that he forgot that someone was there with him today.“We’re going downstairs for dinner. We eat our meals together here. We can shower after dinner,” he randomly pulled out a sweatpant.“We?” Gemma couldn't stop herself from asking.“What the heck is wrong with this man!” “Yeah, we shower after dinner….Separately,” he added, smiling at the mortified young lady.“Why are your hands out in the air like you touched something contagious,” he asked, raising an eyebrow at Gemma who didn't know what to do with her hand.“I…I,” she stuttered, bringing her hand down but avoiding touching herself.“Want me to help you cut it off?” Derek teased her.Her gaze went to him and she glared at him.“Let's go have dinner,” he smiled.“I wonder what you'll use to eat, considering how your hand has been contaminated by my…”“Don't…” Gemma stopped him from saying the last word He

Nora walked into the room with a smile plastered on her face. She was the heiress of a large conglomerate, so she had learned how to mask her emotions from a very young age.“How was it?” She laughed, making her presence known.Gemma turned around at the sound of her voice, but then the earlier drama flashed her mind and her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.“It was a mistake, Nora,” she looked away.Nora smiled and didn't press it, even though she was smiling this way, she wasn't in the mood for jokes, the news article and Elena’s speech had annoyed her to the core.“I'll unzip the dress,” she offered, making Gemma turn around.Soon, the wedding dress was piled at her feet and she slipped on Derek’s clothes. It felt super comfortable.“Smells like him, huh,” Gemma winked at her and she smiled..“Let's go down for dinner,” Gemma said, remembering how Derek had mentioned that his entire family always had dinner together. She didn't want to be the reason why Nora misses dinner.“About t

Gemma couldn't calm herself down, she was furious throughout the entire flight. Next to her was a pissed off Derek who kept clenching and unclenching his jaw.“I'm sorry for dragging you into my family drama,” Gemma suddenly apologized.The truth was that she knew Derek’s name had only been uttered by Elena because he had chosen to stay by her side.“There is no reason for you to apologize. I proposed this marriage, not you,” he replied.His gaze settled on her for a while and both held each other's gaze in silence.Derek couldn't help but notice how misty Gemma’s eyes had gotten.“Don't tell me you're going to cry because of a simple news article and an insignificant video,” he let out.Gemma looked away from him, trying to hide her tears.Everything had happened so fast today that she didn't have the time to process it all and once again what started like a good day will end in shambles because of her family's shamelessness. She had woken up to a new life today to have her revenge,

After having dinner, the couple cleared the table together without uttering a word to each other.“The cleaners weren't informed about my arrival, they should be here tomorrow morning,” Derek said as the placed the dishes in the sink.“I'll wash them then. We can't leave these things here till morning. They'll smell,” Gemma muttered and instantly turned on the tap.“I’ll help out,” Derek picked up the sponge.“You can rinse them and place them in the rack. I'll wash.” He left no room for arguement.The duo stood washing the plates in silence and soon they were done. “Never knew billionaires wash dishes,” Gemma couldn't stop herself from uttering.“There are a lot of things you don't know,” the other party smiled.“I'll go shower, you can come if you want to…We're married, you know,” Derek gazed at Gemma, maintaining a serious expression.“What?” The young lady was stunned.“Don't forget to breathe, Gemma, I'm just joking,” Derek laughed his way into the room, leaving Gemma standing a

“Andrea said she met Rachel at Dalking street. Which means she is somewhere around there. That bitch isn’t wise enough to plan a full proof operation…” Victor was saying but was cut off by Logan.“I know all this, Victor. Where is Rachel right now?” he asked.“I don’t have her exact location but she should be in any hotel around Dalking street or that area. Rachel is in debt right now. That’s probably why she is in the slums…Dalking street is in the slums. She should be in any cheap hotel or motel around there…” Victor responded.“Well then, let's start with the cheapest one,” Logan suggested.Getting into Logan's car, the duo drove till they came to a stop at a public parking lot. The both knew it was probably not safe to take an exotic looking car into the slum. They would end up bringing unwarranted attention to themselves.Once they got out of the car, they found their way into the alleyway that led to slums. Both never said a word to each other again and simply focused on the tas

“Where did you pick up the pill, Andrea?” Victor asked, still holding onto Andrea’s phone.“I….I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Andrea stuttered.“Don’t play that game with me, Andrea. I'm one hundred percent sure that you know exactly what I'm talking about. Where did you get the damned pill!” Victor was beginning to get pissed off.“Confronting her would bring harm to Gemma,” Andrea mumbled, looking down at her feet.“You don’t get to decide that,” Logan spoke this time.“What do you mean by that? Gemma is my best friend and I want the best for her. I’m protecting her from harm and that’s something you two wouldn’t understand. You just want to go out there and confront whoever is after Gemma’s life without thinking of the aftermath, without thinking about the effect it would have on Gemma. Seriously?” Andrea was fed up and pissed off at this point.“Don’t act like you care about her more than we do!” Victor was quick to challenge her.“I'm not acting, Victor. You and I know

Back at Logan’s house, he and Victor were seated in the living room, waiting for Andrea to show up. It had been hours since they arrived, yet there was no sign of her. Just when Victor stood up to complain for the hundredth time, the door was pushed open and Andrea walked in, looking really exhausted. She halted at the sight of the duo and seemed surprised at Victor’s presence in the house. She had never seen Victor leave the house before, he was alwys indoors back at the Ferguson’s mansion.‘Hi,” she waved at Victor and offered Logan a smile, the walked past them. But then, Victor called her back.“I’m actually here to see you, Andrea,” Victor said aloud, much to Andrea’s astonishment.She turned around “Me?” she asked Victorf nodded.“You’re the only Andrea here, aren’t you?” he sarcastically remarked.“Come sit, Andrea,” Logan called out to her, and slowly patted Victor’s back to make him chill. Waiting for hours just to speak with Andrea had made him cranky and agitated.Andrea

As Gemma and Derek approached the obstetrics ward exit, they suddenly ran into a duo unexpectedly. It was Daniel and James. One would wonder what they were doing in the obstetrics ward and together at that. It was no news that the two never got along, so seeing them together like this was truly a surprise.Even though Gemma was more than curious to know why they were together, she didn’t attempt to say a word to them. Instead, she kept her eyes straight ahead and walked past them.“Ignoring me now?” Daniel spoke, grabbing her hand and pulling her backward.“Get your hands off her,” Derek fumed, grabbing Daniel’s hand and furiously pulling it off Gemma’s arm.“Take it easy, man,” James laughed, coming to stand in between Gemma and James.“I’m surprised to see you here,” James flashed Gemma a smile.“Considering how terrible you claim your childhood was and how you claim to have been abused. I never thought you’d one day decide to have a child of your own. The little one might get the t

“I don’t think she is home yet,” Logan mumbled, looking around his house. The trio had arrived at Logan’s house a while back and there didn’t seem to be any sign of Andrea. Logan had checked her room but she wasn’t there, which instantly made them conclude she wasn’t back yet. “We’ve heard you Mr. Lover boy,” Victor joked when Derek tried going over everything once again. Derek simply rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply to Victor's words, knowing it will only result in him being teased even more. “Isn't that your phone ringing, man?” Victor tapped Derek's back. “I'm not in the mood to take any calls now. I just want to get this over with,” he mumbled, not bothering to touch his phone. “You have a pregnant wife who is considering an abortion. What if she did something to harm the baby or worse herself?” Victor raised a brow. “Don't jinx things,” Logan smacked his head. But then hia words were enough to make Derek quickly pull out his phone. “How is Gemma?” He asked theoment

“That's…that’s her,” Derek stuttered.“No way,” Logan added.“Hello?” The voice sounded again, and then Victor hung up.“We all know who the culprit is,” he stated.“Is Andrea at home right now?” Derek asked.“She went out earlier, I doubt she is back,” Logan said still staring at the phone in disbelief.“Let's all go over to your house and wait for her to return,” Victor stated with urgency.“Gemma is still crying,” Derek mumbled.“You, go to her then. Victor and I will go do with that bitch,” Logan shrugged.“So, what's the plan?” Victor asked.For over twenty minutes, they all sat there on the floor, going over their plan over and over again and once they were satisfied, they swung into action.“I'll go too, I'll send Esther to be with Gemma. This is about her safety,” Derek sighed.Victor and Logan didn't bother saying a word to him. Knowing he was a hopeless romantic, he might suddenly change his mind and decide to go be with Gemma.Pushing the door open and heading down the stai

“I'll never marry a wife with a traumatic childhood,” Logan mumbled. Derek simply forced out a chuckle at their words. All he wanted to do at that moment was hold Gemma and tell her to wipe her tears. But he knew he couldn't afford to do that. If he does, in the future Gemma might exclude him from an important decision again and who knows, it might even be more severe than this. Turning to Logan, Derek hit his head slightly. “I came here to have some alone time but you two ruined it…” “You're welcome, Derek. I know that's your way of saying thank you to us for keeping g you company,” Victor spoke. Logan chanted in support of him, making Derek shake his head. “About the threat on Gemma's life?” Derek who couldn't stop worrying about Gemma raised the subject again. Logan glanced at Victor and then looked back at Derek, indirectly asking if it was okay to talk in Victor's presence. Victor scoffed. “I'm not leaving!” “Go ahead,” Derek mumbled, knowing how stubborn Victor was. T

“Will you be going back to guest room tonight?” Derek asked, walking away from Gemma. Looking at him, Gemma couldn't stop her tears from falling. His utterance made her realize how much this man loves her. Her insecurity had gotten the best of her. Being betrayed by the people close to her heart at the least expected time, had made her heart really guarded unknowingly and now it messed her up. It messed up her only true relationship. “Derek, I….I want to sleep here tonight, with you,” she mumbled. “That's settles it then, I'll be sleeping in the guestroom,” Derek said like he didn't hear what she just said. “I…I was insecure and afraid, I'm sorry, Derek,” Gemma cried, rising to her feet and walking over to where he stood, staring into nothingness. “Your apology means nothing to me, Gemma. You're only doing all these because I found out about your vile plan, if I never found out, you wold have gone ahead with it and still keep it hidden to yourself. Just keep your pretentious apolo

Earlier, Derek was summoned because of the products, right in the middle of his arguement with some of his board members and a few from the Braun's Company, he got a phone call, it was from Victor and Victor had informed him of Gemma's presence at her family company. At first, he had told Victor to just take her home when she was done, having known his workaholic wife, he knew she was probably missing doing her work. But then Victor mentioned how Esther had suddenly alerted him and suspected something was off. Coupled with the fact that he knew that Gemma hated the sight of Nathaniel, but then, she seemed in a haste to go meet him earlier, like she had some sort of business with him. Having known Victor for long, Derek knew how calculating and observant he was. If he said something seems off, that means something was definitely off. Instantly he excused himself and drove directly to find Gemma. Never did he expect that he was rushing to get his heart shattered and trampled upon. “Gem
