Dear Husband, I Came Back To Deal With You 025
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

Early that morning, Derek was the first person to wake. Once he saw that Gemma was still asleep, he stared at her resting face for a while, then slipped out of the bed. Not wanting to wake her up, he tiptoed to the closet and picked out his clothes then left the room.He bathed and got ready for work in the guest room and once he was done, he came back to check on his sleeping wife only to find her still sound asleep.“I'm heading for the office, Nora,” he told his sister the moment he got out of the room.“And Gemma?” the latter had asked.“She is still asleep.” “No one should disturb her, let her sleep in if she likes. She is stressed out,” he instructed.Nora gave out a mischievous smile and winked at him.“If only she knows,” Derek thought.“Pascal will drive her to work if she decides to go to work today. I have an urgent meeting at the office, ” with that, he left the house.The truth was that he had just lied about having an important meeting. He just wanted to go away for a w

“You do know Gemma is carrying my child, right?” he laughed.“What!” Derek was shocked.“He is a filthy liar,” Gemma yelled from the side.She has never let Daniel touch her and was saving her first sexual experience for their wedding night. Even before she got her second chance, Daniel had only touched her on their wedding night.“You darned liar!” She yelled!“What? You didn't tell him?” Daniel was insistent.“Do not listen to him, I'm not pregnant,” Gemma yelled.“Bloody liar,” Derek cursed, choosing to listen to his wife “If she isn't pregnant, then what's this?” He flung a paper at Derek.Derek couldn't stop himself from looking. He picked up the paper and looked down on it. It was indeed a pregnancy test result with Gemma’s name on it.He looked up at Gemma. Seeing the look of disappointment on his face, Gemma pulled herself off Logan’s grip and rushed over to him.“Whatever that paper holds is fake,” she said, then took the paper from him.She scoffed on seeing the content of

“You know Derek believes you, right?” Logan asked, pulling up in front of the Brauns company.“I’d like to focus on the task at hand,” Gemma muttered, looking out the window The photoshoot for the launch of the products would happen today, even though no one cared to inform her about it, she knew because she had recalled the exact date.“Thank you for the ride, Logan,” she smiled and got out of the car.“I'll pick you up once you're done,” Logan called after her.“I'll just take a cab,” she waved him off and headed for the gate.Logan didn't say another word and just sat, watching her walk into the company. Knowing the type of family she came from and the recent war she waged against them, he decided to make sure she got to her office safely before leaving. “Derek would have done the same,” he told himself Gemma got to the company's entrance but the moment she tried to walk into the gate, the security approached her.“Sorry, Miss Braun…”“Mrs. Ferguson,” Gemma cut him off. She has

Sylvia was seated next to her husband’s right inside the meeting room, next to her was Elena who was grinning from ear to ear, her eyes and entire focus were on one of the old shareholders, who happened to be the second largest shareholder in the company. The old man returned her energy and kept winking and smiling at her.“Have some dignity, Elena,” Sylvia pinched her thighs on noticing the little exchange.Elena grumbled, rolling her eyes.Clearing her throat, Sylvia brought everyone’s attention to herself.“I called the meeting today because…”“You called the meeting?”“We were assembled by a woman?” The investors murmured loudly not bothering to hide their displeasure.Their utterances were not welcomed by Sylvia.“I am the chairwoman of this company!” she banged her fist on the table.“Only because your husband made it so. He is capable of handling every single affairs of this company alone,” one of the investors boldly challenged her.Sylvia was about to retort, when Max held he

“Let's see what you have, Hughes,” one of the shareholders proposed.Mr. Hughes got up and handed the memory chip to a young guy. Whose job was to stand next to the big screen and wait for when it could be used so he could operate it.The guy took the card from him and headed back towards the big screen. But then, the door was pushed open and James walked in. Before anyone could process his unexpected entrance, he snatched the card from the young guy and threw it into his mouth, chewing it.Sylvia sighed, relieved, on seeing this “What the heck?” Gemma was stunned.“What evidence do you have Mr. Hughes? What darned evidence do you have that you decided to humiliate my mother with a memory card!” James slammed.“You walk in here, when we are halfway done with the meeting and shout at me! You think being the chairman’s heir gives you the right to barge in here and do shit when it pleases you!” Hughes challenged him.“Now that the silly evidence you have is gone. I'd like to see you prov

”Do you want your mum’s position in the company?” He threw an unexpected question.“What?” Gemma couldn't process what she just heard.“I'm sure you heard me the first time, Gemma,” the man stood, looking at her.“Why are you helping me, Mr. Hughes?” Gemma couldn't help but try to find the man’s motive.“If you think I'm doing this for you, then you are wrong, Gemma. I'm only helping the right person. We all know that if you take the seat. More profit will be made," he shrugged.“Think about taking your mum’s position and reach out to me if you make up your mind. I'll have my assistant send my number to you.” Saying this, the man walked off, leaving her standing there and gazing at his retreating figure.“Nice job, sister,” Elena, who was now actively looking for a chance to humiliate and frustrate Gemma, approached her.Gemma didn't heed to her, knowing that she must have approached her just to make a scene.Looking away from Elena, Gemma walked off. But Elena wouldn't let her go. Sh

“Who the fuck did this?” Derek thundered, turning around to look at Logan. Who instantly stopped laughing on hearing his angry voice.“Stop acting like it’s a big deal,” Gemma brushed his hand off her face.“What the fuck do you mean? You have large hand prints on your face, yet you think they're nothing?” Derek was now seriously pissed off, not just at whoever had harmed Gemma, but at Gemma too, for always stomaching abuses and acting like they're pretty normal. Heck, being hit was definitely not normal.“I didn't see that earlier,” Logan mumbled, he and Nora approached the couch where Gemma was seated.“It's nothing, you all should stop acting like I fell from a skyscraper or something,” Gemma rolled her eyes, then rose from her seat. Before she could take a step, Derek grabbed her arm, and pushed her back to the couch.“What do you think you're doing?” Gemma was startled.“Get me some ice, Nora,” he requested.Nora instantly rushed off to get the ice. Seeing how Derek was fuming,

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
