Derek liked the new sassy Gemma. He liked as she was exercising her dominace and was nothing like the overly quiet lady he had seen at the company a few weeks ago.When Tracy spoke rudely to her, it could have been very easy for him to order for her to be thrown out. In fact he could ruin her entire career with just a snap of his finger, but he kept shut, wanting Gemma to handle the situation. If she was going to exert revenge on her vile family she needed to know how to keep every situation under her control.“I'm a supermodel! It's something you'd never dream of!” a now annoyed Tracy yelled, staring daggers at Gemma.“And I'm Derek Ferguson’s wife. I can buy you and your entire career now, you know,” Gemma smirked.“Fuck you,” Tracy cursed. Just like she had always done in the past with Elena, she approached Gemma, intending to slap her. I mean she has always gotten away with it before and it has always made Gemma keep shut and obey her.“When did you learn to talk when I'm talking?
The day had finally arrived, Gemma’s first day at the company after her drama at her wedding. Waking up, Derek had already arranged for people that would attend to her. By the time they were done, she looked like a strict boss in one of those Hollywood movies. She was clad in red pants over a black camisole and a red blazer. On her legs were black stilettos. Her nails were done and were black and shiny. Her makeup was minimal but it did a great job enhancing her beauty. Her lips nude and inviting.“It's time,” Derek couldn’t help but stare at her.“Let's go,” she smiled at him, picking up her handbag.Derek led her to the elevator and soon they arrived at the rooftop where their private jet was already waiting.“Thank you for this, Mr. Ferguson,” Gemma muttered as she lowered herself on the seat.She was honestly thankful to Derek for appearing from nowhere like a superhero and having her back. Yes, she was given a second chance and she was back for revenge. But without wealth and pow
Getting into Derek’s sleek black Veyron, Logan took the position of the chauffeur and drove off. He didn't want to miss out on any of the drama, so the moment the couple walked out, he rushed and got into the car. Leaving not just them but the actual chauffeur speechless.“He has never been normal, it's in his blood,” Derek mumbled to a stunned Gemma, who only shook her head at the duo’s drama.Once the car pulled up in front of the company, Logan dramatically got out and pulled the door open for Derek, he even went as far as bowing.“Get lost,” Derek mouthed him.He smiled.“Kick their asses!” He told Gemma and hurried into the car to park it so he could join them Walking into the company’s entrance, the couple were met with a lot of stares from the employees. Having known these people for long, Gemma could figure out what they all had in their heads.“Getting married to a billionaire and dressing fancy won't change your position as the errand girl in this company.”“I'll find my wa
“Me, I'll model the company’s new product,” Gemma declared.Her words were met with silence from everyone. Elena was the first person to break the silence.“You! Model the jewelry?” Elena laughed Gemma looked at her unfazed, making her realize she was being serious.“I'm a supermodel and you're just an unknown daughter of the family. What makes you think you can be the company’s model. You don't even know a thing about modeling…”“It's not like I need a bachelor's degree to become a model…” Gemma clapped back.“Did you even finish high school, Elena?” She asked.The entire executives looked at Elena in shock. This was news to them.“Gemma!” Elena clenched her fist.“See, you became a supermodel without a basic degree. While me, on the other hand, I have a master's degree, body and perfect height.” Gemma didn't come to play.“Enough of the drama, Gemma. Your sister will be the company’s model and that won't change any time soon,” Sylvia declared, Elena snickered and James cleared his
During the entire ride, Gemma’s mind was occupied with various ways she could curb any vile plans Elena and the others had. The launch of the new product, being successful, wasn't her problem, as she knew it would be successful and the product would receive a lot of public attention. She knew this as she could remember when it was launched in the past. Elena had modeled it and her mother received credit for the design. While she, the actual brain behind the work, got nothing.This time, she would get the credit and recognition she deserves, first by becoming the model for her design.“And, we’re here,” Logan announced, bringing the car to a halt inside the Ferguson’s property.The moment Gemma got down from the car, old Mr. Ferguson approached her. “Welcome back home, dear,” he pulled her into his arms.Gemma’s eyes almost got misty at this gesture, it was obvious the old man had a really soft spot for her.Looking at his grandfather hugging Gemma, Derek only scoffed and walked ahead
“Hey,” Derek called out to Gemma who was already in her pajamas and ready to go to bed. They had gotten pajamas and some casual clothes when they went shopping the previous day.“I'd like to get some rest,” Gemma mumbled, climbing onto the bed.“What about dinner?” Derek asked Ever since Gemma came up here since they got home in the evening, she hadn't come down. Even when Nora tried to make her leave the room she had lied that she was having a headache and would like to sleep.“I'm not hungry,” Gemma muttered.At her words, Derek instantly climbed onto the bed.“What are you doing?” Gemma was startled by his sudden action.“Hold on,” he said, placing his palm on her forehead.“Your temperature is normal. Are you feeling sick in any way?” he asked “I'm not sick. I'm just not hungry,” Gemma hit his hand off her head.“Are you sure?” He insistently asked.A few seconds passed with Gemma not saying a word and then she finally spoke.“Why do you act like you care about me so much?”“Act
To Derek, Gemma wasn't just a lady he randomly decided to spend his entire life with.The first time he had seen her was when he went gold hunting. As someone with a lot of investments. His company didn't just deal on one product but varieties of products. That day, he had gone to the gold mine to oversee the gold for the jewelry production. Logan was nursing a broken heart back then and couldn't concentrate on any work, so Derek took on the task since he couldn't trust anyone aside from Logan.The path to the mine wasn't exactly that easy to pass. Due to the high cases of robberies in these mines, they are often hidden away from the entire city and the roads to them are made hard to access.Getting out of his car that day,he saw another car parked at a corner. It was an old truck and it made him wonder who it belonged to. Well, he didn't wonder for long. He sighted a dark haired young lady, walking down the muddy and slippery path. She walked even better than him. It was as if it was
Gemma was so engrossed in admiring the lunch bag on her lap that she didn't notice the pair of eyes on her. Looking down at the lunch, she recounted how she had to wake up early each day to make not just her own food, but that of everyone at home. She'd cook and set the table even though they had maids at home and worst, Sylvia always made her pack Elena’s lunch too. She shook her head to get rid of unpleasant memories. Then, looked out the window sighing. Looking at the buildings by the roadside, Gemma felt like something was wrong. Her eyes had been on the road as they drove back to the Ferguson’s mansion yesterday and she never noticed any of these buildings. “Is this like a short cut or something?” She asked aloud with eyes still outside the window. Seconds passed but the driver didn't say a word, making her look away from the window. “This route is unfamiliar,” she uttered, meeting the driver’s eyes in the mirror. Upon seeing his eyes on her, she gasped. “What th
