“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

    “Why are you holding my boobs!” A startled Gemma yelled, hitting Derek’s hand off her chest.Even though he was stunned at how he mistaken his wife’s boobs for a pillow, I mean it's very soft. He maintained his facade and yawned, turning to the other side of this bed, as if in a deep sleep.“I know you're awake, you pervert!” A startled Gemma accused. Without thinking, she smacked his back that was turned against her.“I'm awake!” Derek yelled, instantly rising from the bed.“Explain what your hand was doing on my boobs,” she narrowed her eyes at him.“It was a mistake….” Derek was trying to say, but was cut off.“Your hands were placed on my boobs while you were wide awake and you want me to believe it's a mistake?” She asked like he had just made the biggest joke of the year.Derek shook his head, deciding to be petty.“I mean you were also wide awake when you grabbed my little man yesterday,” his gaze went from Gemma’s face down to his member, Gemma’s eyes followed every movement o

    ABOUT FIVE YEARS LATER “Gemgem!” “Gemgem!! What's taking you so long in there!!” Derek yelled from inside their bedroom. Gemma was inside the bathroom and was taking too long to get done and come outside. “Mom, daddy and I will leave without you!” Little Melina shouted from Derek's arms. “Mummy!!” She yelled yet again. Derek didn't bother trying to call out to Gemma again. Since Melina had taken over, he knew Gemma would be out in a minute or two, she doesn't joke with their little princess. “Dad, go check what mummy is doing in there…I'll go check if Aunt Esther is ready,” Melina said, getting off Derek's arms. She ran over to the door and just before she ran out, she suddenly halted. “Dad, don't waste any time in there, get mommy and meet us downstairs,” Melina warned. “Emmm….that's exactly what I'm going in there to do, I'm already dressed up,” Derek smiled at her. “Good, cause I don't want you two doing adult things in there, it takes way too much time,” Melin

    “Congratulations, sweetheart!” Derek smiled broadly, proudly patting Gemma's head. It was though his words brought sudden realization on the faces of the executives. Those in favour of Gemma had proud smiles on their faces, while those against her murmured in dissatisfaction. “Congratulations!” Logan quickly hugged Gemma, also smiling broadly. “Thank you, big bro,” she laughed. “Say that again!” Derek said aloud, not minding the presence of other people in the room or the fact that they were live on air. “Big bro,” Gemma laughed. Logan smiled broadly, winking at Derek. “Hear that?” He raised a brow. Derek laughed, shaking his head. But then he was very happy. Gemma didn't have just him, she has Logan and Victor too. “Where is Victor?” He asked the moment he recalled that Victor was supposed to be up here. “He is having a party with the reporters downstairs,” Gemma laughed, recalling how they ditched him barely an hour ago. “You devils!” Victor's loud voice rang. “You left

    “The person we've all been waiting for is finally here. Let's begin,” Derek announced.Inside the meeting room, seated around the enormous table were the executive members of the company with voting rights.“The entire country is curious about what is going on here right now, to keep the company's prestiges and reputation, I suggest we air the voting live,” Derek spoke.His words were met with both acceptance and rejection and soon the meeting room became noisy with everyone debating his suggestion aloud.Gemma stepped further into the meeting room, taking a stand right next to the vacant CEO seat.“We will air the voting!” She announced loudly, bringing the stop to the arguments.Most of the executives began to murmur in displeasure.“I won't have a woman tell us what to do?” One of the executives openly expressed his displeasure.“A woman you say,” Gemma didn't bother hiding her own displeasure.“Mr. Darlington, what are the qualities of a great CEO?” Gemma threw an unexpected quest

    Gemma and Victor were quick to get into Logan's car. Logan didn't bother saying a word and got into the driver's seat. And sped off to Braun's company. Soon, the trio arrived at the company which had already been overtaken by reporters, the number of reporters in front of the company was very overwhelming. The moment Gemma stepped out of Logan's car, they all rushed over to her. “You said your husband was putting on a show here, there is no sign of life out here,” one of the reporters said. “Did you lie to get us away from Ferguson's residence?” Another asked. “You deceived us, Mrs. Ferguson, how are we to believe a word you said on the national television today?” Another asked. “That's my husband's car over there,” Gemma pointed in the direction of a black Veyron. “How sure are we that that's his car. We all saw his car get crushed by a Mack truck barely an hour ago,” another person countered. “Are you blind or simply don't want to check the plate number?” Logan who had just

    “Where is Derek Ferguson and his wife?” One of the reporters asked aloud.To Logan, the question didn't matter. The fact that Derek and Gemma were not inside the crushed car, made his heart leap with joy. It meant they were probably safe somewhere and to him, that's the best news.“I can find them later,” he told himself.Finally looking away from the car, his eyes met some of the press who were gathered around the Mack truck. Victor seemed to be the centre of attention, making Logan rush over to know what was going on.Due to his display for madness earlier, the press easily cleared the way for him to get up the truck. Once he got up, he saw Victor dealing out punches to a nearly lifeless James.“That’s enough, Victor,” he grabbed Victor's shoulder and pulled him away from James.“The police are here, they'll do the needful. Let him go,” he kept pulling a pissed off Victor.His words were met with a scoff from James.“Who did you do that for?” Logan glared at James.“You,” the fool r

    Elena, whom Mr. Brown had dragged back home with him, was awakened by the noisy shattering of what seemed like glass in the early hours of the new day. She was tired and worn out from the previous night's strenuous activities Mr. Brown put her through. Dragging herself out of his bed, she found her way down the stairs, limping. After getting discharged, her father had failed to win against Mr. Brown and then the man took her home with him. Since then, she hasn't had a single day of rest. She was forced to share his bed with him, she was forced to do all sorts of things in bed with a man old enough to be her father. And it was all because of Gemma. She blamed Gemma for her predicament. If Gemma hadn't pushed her to the wall, she wouldn't have gone to the damn club that day and wouldn't have been married to the old monster. She cursed Gemma for her fate. Few weeks ago, when Gemma came to the hospital and acted like she wanted them to become really good and close sisters, she hated it,

    Gemma took an extra hour to answer the series of questions the news anchor had for her. The truth was that after waking up to a new life, she knew she had to do something to deal with the people that messed with her. Appearing harmful only by her spoken words was the only way to keep them off her back. It was the only way she could dig out their dirty, rotten and disgusting secrets and affairs without them having any knowledge of it. When she woke up to a new life, she had started with James, gathering evidence of every single thing he had done to her. The evidence she submitted for his assault on her was from years ago. She had placed a video recorder on her room that day for fear of James eventually having his way with her. She had taken that recording to show Sylvia and Max that James was serious about having his way with her. But then after she complained to Sylvia about it the second time and she brushed it off as nothing, she had set the recording aside. She never knew it would

    Daniel and Victor walked out the Motel and stood right out there, watching drag her luggage across the street. Once she was out of sight, Logan turned to Victor. “You did put the tracker on her, right?” He asked and Victor nodded. “We have to call Derek and update him,” Victor mumbled. “Not yet. We never planned on taking care of Daniel with him. Let's just speak to him later,” Logan told him. Victor, who had already pulled out his phone, sighed, nodding in understanding. “It's still 5am, I doubt he would even be awake now,” Victor muttered, about to press the power button to turn off his phone. But then, a notification popped up on his phone. “Look,” he tapped Logan. Logan, who was very invested in getting things done and done for all, didn't bother looking down at his phone, thinking it was one of his silly jokes. “It's Gemma,” Victor said in utter disbelief. That instant, Logan snatched the phone from him. Victor sighed and stood just next to him watching Gemma who was live

    “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
