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

    “I'm sorry you had to go through all that,” Derek apologized to Gemma for the hundredth time that day.They were already out of the car and were seated on a seat set up around the seaside. The location Derek had chosen was a private beach owned by his family. He wanted to spend a quiet time with his woman, giving her the peace and quietness he knew she craved. Ever since they got married, she hadn't had any time for herself. Her day has always gone from one issue to another. A perfect relaxation would help her get a hold of herself and be able do more than she had already done.“I'm already over it, Derek,” she gave out a sad smile, stretching her legs.Derek sighed. “Here, have some wine,” he poured some drink into the glass.Gemma lifted the glass to get mouth.“We have to clink it first,” he said sternly, making her smile.“Of course, Mr. Ferguson..”“To our unborn kids,” Derek raised a toast.Gemma was stunned, was this man serious?“Excuse me?” She looked at him.Derek’s facial e

    “The ugly scars on my thighs. James made them,” Gemma revealed.“Come here, Gemma,” James's voice resonated in her head, making her grip on Derek tighten.“Raise your dress.”Her traumatic memories came crashing down on her. Tears trailed down her face as James placed the tip of a burning cigarette on her thigh.“Scream and you'll get it worse tomorrow,” he warned. And just like that, James used her to put out his cigarettes each time he smoked. All to make her unattractive for any man. Apparently, it was her lesson for reporting him to their parents.She was 18 when it all started. James had snuck into her room at night and tried to get her to sleep with him. But then she refused, running out of the room and eventually spending the night in the storage room. It went on for a few more days and she decided it was time to tell Sylvia.“Mother, James has been visiting my room at night. He touched me and tried to make me sleep with him,” Gemma could see her young self complaining to Sylv

    TWO WEEKS LATERIt's been over two weeks since the couple’s life changing experience. Derek was thankful Gemma had opened up to him. To him, it was her way of telling him that she was ready to be loved. Her way of telling him that she was ready to try out being in a positive relationship for once.“Go check what's holding my wife up stairs,” Derek tapped Nora softly.Today was a very important day for Gemma and he didn't want her to be late.Nora raised an eyebrow.“Why don't you just go yourself?” “Or you don't want to end up undressing her instead of urging her to get dressed quickly,” she taunted him.“Young lady, go get my wife for me,” Derek was tempted to roll his eyes at her.“At your service Mr. Ferguson,” she laughed, then got off her seat.“Oh. There she is. Your precious wife in all glory and beauty. Radiating like the sun rays, turning heads, being the center of attention. There she is, the one lady that could make a thousand men bow at her feet with her beauty…” Nora read

    After Derek left, Gemma found her way into the elevator. Derek had wanted to tag along but this was her fight, not his. she knew she'd be able to pull through on her own. Thus she made him leave but not without promising to reach out to him. If things turned south.“I can't believe she is challenging her mother, “ she could hear the employees whisper as she passed them. No,it wasn't whispering. They were being pretty loud. As if they want her to hear what they're saying about her.Ignoring them. She got into the elevator. Looking around, she realized she was the only one that had gotten into the elevator. The employees that were walking right behind her, had all stopped and stood gazing at her as the door closed.She sensed something was wrong. But didn't really want to seem like she was overreacting. Yes, the employees hated her but it wasn't to the extent of not getting into an elevator with her.“I should get off. Something doesn't feel right,” she mumbled. But then. It was already

    Back at Logan’s house, he and Victor were seated in the living room, waiting for Andrea to show up. It had been hours since they arrived, yet there was no sign of her. Just when Victor stood up to complain for the hundredth time, the door was pushed open and Andrea walked in, looking really exhausted. She halted at the sight of the duo and seemed surprised at Victor’s presence in the house. She had never seen Victor leave the house before, he was alwys indoors back at the Ferguson’s mansion.‘Hi,” she waved at Victor and offered Logan a smile, the walked past them. But then, Victor called her back.“I’m actually here to see you, Andrea,” Victor said aloud, much to Andrea’s astonishment.She turned around “Me?” she asked Victorf nodded.“You’re the only Andrea here, aren’t you?” he sarcastically remarked.“Come sit, Andrea,” Logan called out to her, and slowly patted Victor’s back to make him chill. Waiting for hours just to speak with Andrea had made him cranky and agitated.Andrea

    As Gemma and Derek approached the obstetrics ward exit, they suddenly ran into a duo unexpectedly. It was Daniel and James. One would wonder what they were doing in the obstetrics ward and together at that. It was no news that the two never got along, so seeing them together like this was truly a surprise.Even though Gemma was more than curious to know why they were together, she didn’t attempt to say a word to them. Instead, she kept her eyes straight ahead and walked past them.“Ignoring me now?” Daniel spoke, grabbing her hand and pulling her backward.“Get your hands off her,” Derek fumed, grabbing Daniel’s hand and furiously pulling it off Gemma’s arm.“Take it easy, man,” James laughed, coming to stand in between Gemma and James.“I’m surprised to see you here,” James flashed Gemma a smile.“Considering how terrible you claim your childhood was and how you claim to have been abused. I never thought you’d one day decide to have a child of your own. The little one might get the t

    “I don’t think she is home yet,” Logan mumbled, looking around his house. The trio had arrived at Logan’s house a while back and there didn’t seem to be any sign of Andrea. Logan had checked her room but she wasn’t there, which instantly made them conclude she wasn’t back yet. “We’ve heard you Mr. Lover boy,” Victor joked when Derek tried going over everything once again. Derek simply rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply to Victor's words, knowing it will only result in him being teased even more. “Isn't that your phone ringing, man?” Victor tapped Derek's back. “I'm not in the mood to take any calls now. I just want to get this over with,” he mumbled, not bothering to touch his phone. “You have a pregnant wife who is considering an abortion. What if she did something to harm the baby or worse herself?” Victor raised a brow. “Don't jinx things,” Logan smacked his head. But then hia words were enough to make Derek quickly pull out his phone. “How is Gemma?” He asked theoment

    “That's…that’s her,” Derek stuttered.“No way,” Logan added.“Hello?” The voice sounded again, and then Victor hung up.“We all know who the culprit is,” he stated.“Is Andrea at home right now?” Derek asked.“She went out earlier, I doubt she is back,” Logan said still staring at the phone in disbelief.“Let's all go over to your house and wait for her to return,” Victor stated with urgency.“Gemma is still crying,” Derek mumbled.“You, go to her then. Victor and I will go do with that bitch,” Logan shrugged.“So, what's the plan?” Victor asked.For over twenty minutes, they all sat there on the floor, going over their plan over and over again and once they were satisfied, they swung into action.“I'll go too, I'll send Esther to be with Gemma. This is about her safety,” Derek sighed.Victor and Logan didn't bother saying a word to him. Knowing he was a hopeless romantic, he might suddenly change his mind and decide to go be with Gemma.Pushing the door open and heading down the stai

    “I'll never marry a wife with a traumatic childhood,” Logan mumbled. Derek simply forced out a chuckle at their words. All he wanted to do at that moment was hold Gemma and tell her to wipe her tears. But he knew he couldn't afford to do that. If he does, in the future Gemma might exclude him from an important decision again and who knows, it might even be more severe than this. Turning to Logan, Derek hit his head slightly. “I came here to have some alone time but you two ruined it…” “You're welcome, Derek. I know that's your way of saying thank you to us for keeping g you company,” Victor spoke. Logan chanted in support of him, making Derek shake his head. “About the threat on Gemma's life?” Derek who couldn't stop worrying about Gemma raised the subject again. Logan glanced at Victor and then looked back at Derek, indirectly asking if it was okay to talk in Victor's presence. Victor scoffed. “I'm not leaving!” “Go ahead,” Derek mumbled, knowing how stubborn Victor was. T

    “Will you be going back to guest room tonight?” Derek asked, walking away from Gemma. Looking at him, Gemma couldn't stop her tears from falling. His utterance made her realize how much this man loves her. Her insecurity had gotten the best of her. Being betrayed by the people close to her heart at the least expected time, had made her heart really guarded unknowingly and now it messed her up. It messed up her only true relationship. “Derek, I….I want to sleep here tonight, with you,” she mumbled. “That's settles it then, I'll be sleeping in the guestroom,” Derek said like he didn't hear what she just said. “I…I was insecure and afraid, I'm sorry, Derek,” Gemma cried, rising to her feet and walking over to where he stood, staring into nothingness. “Your apology means nothing to me, Gemma. You're only doing all these because I found out about your vile plan, if I never found out, you wold have gone ahead with it and still keep it hidden to yourself. Just keep your pretentious apolo

    Earlier, Derek was summoned because of the products, right in the middle of his arguement with some of his board members and a few from the Braun's Company, he got a phone call, it was from Victor and Victor had informed him of Gemma's presence at her family company. At first, he had told Victor to just take her home when she was done, having known his workaholic wife, he knew she was probably missing doing her work. But then Victor mentioned how Esther had suddenly alerted him and suspected something was off. Coupled with the fact that he knew that Gemma hated the sight of Nathaniel, but then, she seemed in a haste to go meet him earlier, like she had some sort of business with him. Having known Victor for long, Derek knew how calculating and observant he was. If he said something seems off, that means something was definitely off. Instantly he excused himself and drove directly to find Gemma. Never did he expect that he was rushing to get his heart shattered and trampled upon. “Gem

    “It's not what you think,” Gemma stuttered upon laying eyes on the figure at the door. “Gemma, tell me I heard wrong!” Gemma looked down at her fingers on her thighs, her hands trembling, her knees weakened and before she could hold back, she slumped into the seat she had initially rejected. “What are you doing in my office?” Nathaniel fumed. “Gemma tell me I heard wrong,” the figure at the door said, shock and denial evident in his face. “Derek, I'm…I'm sorry. Whatever you heard is true,” Gemma stuttered. At her words, Derek stumbled backwards, but was held in place by an equally shocked Victor. “You…you wanted to get rid of our baby without informing me?” Derek asked, still in complete denial. “I'm sorry, Derek. I never wanted you to find out this way,” Gemma bowed her head. “No, Gemma. You never wanted me to find out at all! If I wasn't informed of your presence here today, I wouldn't have known and you would have gone ahead to get rid of our baby outside of my knowledge. T

    "So, why do you suddenly want to visit your family company? I thought you took days off. You're supposed to go back to work on Monday, which is tomorrow, not today?” A curious Victor asked as he drove down the road. “It's personal,” Gemma mumbled, looking out the window. A clear indication for Victor not to ask again. Respecting her wish, Victor focused on driving and not once did he utter another word to her. “We're here,” he announced, pulling into the company's parking lot. “You'll have to wait for me here, I'll join you soon,” Gemma said the moment the car came to a halt. “Sorry, but I'm coming with you,” Victor shrugged, having heard what Logan said about the threats on Gemma and the possibility that the perpetrator might actually be in this very building, didn't put him at ease. He wasn't going to let himself be a scapegoat for Derek's anger. “Victor, I…” Gemma tried to dissuade him, but, Victor cut her off. “It's either we go in together or we go back home together. The
