Throughout the entire walk back to the room, Derek contemplated on the best way to relay the butler’s words to his wife, but in the end, he couldn't figure out a good way. He decided to let it go at least for now.Walking into the room, he plastered a smile on his face.“I brought the ice,” he called out to Gemma, who had taken the time to freshen up.She had been waiting for him to come back, but since he wasted a lot of time, she decided to shower.She had just gotten out of the shower and had a towel tied to her chest, her hair was wet too.She turned around to look at Derek, whose entire focus was now on her. His eyes, taking in her appearance.“Can you leave for a minute or two, I want to change,” she gulped, looking at him.The way his eyes roamed her body, it was as if he was seeking what lies behind the towel. Derek cleared his throat and nodded.“Of course, take your time,” saying this, he turned around and exited the room. This would be Derek’s first time seeing his wife i
Gemma found her way down the stairs. Getting to the living room, she was surprised at how she didn't find a single soul there. This would be her first time not seeing anyone in the living room.“Mrs. Ferguson,” the butler who had been watching her since the moment he sighted get on the stairs approached her“Gemma will do,” she smiled at him.“I dare not,” the old man insisted.Gemma didn't push it, she didn't want the man to be fired. Unknown to her, Samuel was as important as old Mr. Ferguson and can never be fired. In fact he was like a secret member of the family.“The lunch you made, I'm sorry I didn't get to eat it. It got spilled,” Gemma apologized to him, bowing slightly. It hurt her that she didn't get to eat her first ever packed lunch from home.The butler smiled“It's nothing, what matters is that you're okay now. I'll pack another for you before you leave for work tomorrow,” he smiled.Gemma squealed like a child, much to his surprise.“How much damage did her family give
Derek had a hard time picking out the best outfit to wear out. He wanted to look best for his wife, hence he wasted a lot of time choosing which outfit was right. When he was done, he left his room and went downstairs in search of Gemma, when he didn't find her there, he knew she would be with Nora. Hence he sought his way to Nora’s room.Upon getting there, he raised his hand to knock but the door was pushed open and Gemma walked out.His lips curved up on seeing her.“Sorry for wasting a lot of time. Let's leave now,” he put out his arm for her. But she shook her head.“I need your help, Derek,” she told him, her voice low and pleading, alarming Derek.“What's wrong?” he cupped her face.“I can't tell you exactly what it is….” “But…” he spoke knowing she wanted to say something else but was having a hard time saying it.“I just need your help Derek, and I would really appreciate it if you don't ask any questions and just go ahead with it,” Gemma pleaded, looking up at him. Derek c
“Get off my son, you filth!” Anna’s voice was enough to pull Gemma out of whatever spell Derek had put on her.She pulled away, taking a step back from him.“Pay no heed to her. Give me great grandchildren!” Old mr. Ferguson's voice brought the couple’s attention to him too.Derek was beyond pissed at his mother for ruining such a divine moment for him. He sent a glare in her direction, much to her surprise.“Son, you…” she was saying but he quickly cut her off."Not a word, mum,” saying this, he picked up a flushed Gemma in a bridal style.“That’s it! Go make my great grandkid,” the old man hyped them.Inside their room, Derek gently dropped Gemma on the bed.“I’m sorry about my mum,” he apologized, gazing right into her eyes.Gemma, who was still trying to process what had transpired back there, found it hard to say a word to him. The fact that she not only let him kiss her but kissed him back with the same energy as him, stunned her. Heck, their marriage was barely a week old and sh
“Nora, stop!” Gemma screamed, getting up on her feet.“What?” Nora yelled, breaking down and crouching to the floor.Derek was beyond stunned, the unsaid word between these two was actually more serious than he thought. Watching the two ladies close to his heart fight and cry this way hurt him too. And worse they won’t let him in on what was wrong.Gemma bent down to Nora on the floor. Then wrapped her arms around her, despite Nora protesting.“I’m sorry I hurt you with my words, Nora. I was only thinking of the best way out,” Gemma whispered, letting her tears fall.“I thought you understood,” Nora kept crying.“I swear, I do. It's just that your brother has known Rachel longer than everyone of us. Believe me when I say he’d know the best way to approach her. He would know how to deal with her,” Gemma tried to convince her.Derek took this as his cue to get involved again. If not for anything, but because he was her big brother and was supposed to be let in on everything about her. Th
Dressed in an exquisite red gown, Rachel looked so seductive that she knew she would make heads turn wherever she passed.After her confrontation with Elena, Daniel had stopped speaking to her and worse he kicked her out of her own company! Even though she was the one that made him the CEO. Heck, she thought Daniel loved her, but he just played her. He used her and sucked her dry. Now that she was of no use to him, he discarded her.Her father had been on her neck in regards to the company. It had barely been two years since the company was handed down to her, but she lost it all in the name of love.Living without money has never been a life she thought she would ever experience, but Daniel has made her go through that.Knowing how heartless Daniel was, she knew he wouldn't even let her near his office not to talk or listen to her. Thus she made up her mind.Daniel had previously sent her to seduce Derek Ferguson, which she did perfectly until the sudden appearance of the Braun’s elde
ABOUT AN HOUR EARLIER.Old Mr. Ferguson sent Gemma to Nora’s room to keep her company and somehow retrieve her phone. Knowing that she was the victim, he was well aware that she might not be in support of their plan. He just needed her phone to make every single plan of theirs work out well.Soon, Gemma emerged from Nora’s room with her phone, unknown to Nora, then headed back into the room as requested by the old man. Deep down, she wanted to help out. She sincerely wanted to put Rachel in her place. To her, Rachel was just like Elena and anyone like that deserved to be dealt with.“I've sent you everything I have on her,” The butler informed Derek, who bobbed his head without saying a word.Looking at him, old Mr. Ferguson understood the look on his face. He has been with his grandson right from birth and he could definitely decipher every single look of his.“Don't do anything other than what we planned for her,” he warned Derek, who lazily dragged his gaze in his direction and nodd
Rachel could feel her head ache. She was suffocating and worse, her entire body was aching as if she had been in a rigorous activity.Yawning, her eyes fluttered open and the first morning rays hit her eyes, making her shut it. It felt as if she had earlier caught sight of someone, it made her quickly open her eyes hurriedly.“What happened last night?” She thought.Her brain was disheveled.Once she finally opened her eyes, she gazed in the direction she saw someone earlier. And truly, someone was there, fully clothed. It was Derek.The sight of him made every ounce of sleep in her eyes clear instantly.She yawned, and then she noticed something.“She wasn't putting on any clothes!” “They did it on the floor! Derek must have missed her badly,” she thought.Her lips curved into a beautiful smile, thinking she somehow succeeded last night.Now she has something to hold against him. She can always show up with a pregnancy test result and make his wife leave.“I don't think you should be
