“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
Anna was in shock at Gemma’s words to her. No one has ever dared to say those words to her face, not even her own father. Her gaze went to the floor in utter shame, taking a step back, she quietly left the room, almost making Gemma feel bad. But knowing she told her the truth, Gemma was quick to get hold of her swaying emotions.“I want to be left alone,” Nora finally said after being quiet for a long time.At her words, the old man, the butler and Gemma headed for the door.“Gemma, please stay,” she muttered, her voice low, more like a whisper.Gemma nodded and went back to her on the bed.“I'm sorry for telling them about it, Nora,” Gemma genuinely apologized.Nora sighed.“I wasn't thinking straight earlier. I was blinded by fear that I forgot how much my family love me and the things they are willing to do for my sake,” Nora sighed.She handed the phone to Gemma, “Delete the videos, I can't look at them.”“Nora, I think it's best if you delete them yourself. You can see it as del
Since the urgent shareholder’s meeting the day before messed up the order of events, Gemma knew she'd had to trade carefully. Her second chance and the little steps she had taken for her revenge so far had altered the way a lot of things should go. Getting to the company that day, she found her way to the company’s studio where the photo for the launch of the new product would be taken. When she got to the door, she could hear camera shutters and orders that seemed to be coming from the company's photographer. She wondered what was going on. It has always been the company's policy that only the model’s photo will be taken during photoshoots for the launch of a new product. Since yesterday’s photoshoot didn't take place, it was definitely today. Wanting to find out what was going on, she pushed the door open and walked in. “Elena?” she muttered, seeing her little sister in the dress she was supposed to wear for the shoot. At a side was James and Sylvia who seemed to be supervising
Derek could recall when he left Gemma alone to go get ice to tend to her face. Samuel had approached him then.“I have a little information about your wife,” the butler had told him, piquing his curiosity.“What information do you have this time, Samuel?” He had asked.Having known the butler, he was well aware that whatever information he had was legit and genuine. Back when he was in college, he and Daniel Roberts had been great friends. But one day he suddenly came back home and the butler told him to cut Daniel off, that the latter wasn't his friend. Back then, he had hesitated, the man that the information he had was wrong. But then barely a month after they graduated school, Daniel betrayed him, worse, he quoted they both were never friends but rivals. He had only befriended him because he knew it would be of benefit to him.After that heartbreaking betrayal, he began to believe every single info the old butler provided and not one has turned out to be a lie.“The young lady was
