Dear Husband, I Came Back To Deal With You 051
“Let’s get you to the meeting room first. We can deal with this prick later.” Derek took Gemma’s hand and led her out.“I’m sorry I didn’t help out real quick.” He pulled a shaky Gemma into his arms.Looking around, he could see the entire employees staring at them. Not wanting to give them the impression that their cooperative little act of wickedness on her had worked out, he led Gemma away from there and into the women’s bathroom.“This is just for women,” one of the foolish women in there tried to tell him.Looking at her face, he recognized her as one of the employees that had taken a step back and let Gemma get into the elevator alone. She was part of the sick plan and sick trick they played on Gemma.“Make sure you continue working for James and his mother your entire life. Because the moment you leave this company, no one will hire you…at least I’ll make sure of that,” his voice was so calm like the ocean before a storm but the intensity of his eyes made the lady shiver.“I’m s

Getting into the meeting room, Gemma found her way to her rightful seat, right next to her mother. As she got to the seat, Mr. Hughes took quick steps and approached her.“Let me,” he said, pulling out her seat for her.Gemma smiled and lowered herself on the seat.“Thank you,” she said.The man nodded and walked away to get to his own seat.Sylvia, who was watching the whole exchange, couldn’t stop herself from scoffing.“You do know you’re a married woman, right?” she randomly threw a question at Gemma.Gemma turned around to look at her.“Are you by any chance talking to me?” she asked, her hands were clenched under the table. Gemma was vibrating, wanting to tear her mum apart. She wanted to confront her concerning the elevator issue but managed to keep her cool.“Why fool around with one of the shareholders when you are married?”“Don’t lecture me. Save your strength for Elena and James,” Gemma rolled her eyes.Sylvia glared at her but Gemma flashed her a smile, much to her annoya

About a week agoGemma and Derek were seated in a restaurant. It was as if they were waiting for someone to arrive. Soon mr. Hughes walked over to them and took a seat right next to Gemma.“I’ll go straight to the point,” he said after they exchanged pleasantries. “I’ll raise the topic of dismissing Max at the meeting instead of just dismissing Sylvia,” he revealed.Gemma was stunned but then Derek didn’t seem surprised. It was as if he already knew or maybe expected it.“Why?” Gemma asked.“He doesn’t deserve the seat,” Hughes told her, leaving it at that.“I don’t think you intend for my wife to take that position do you?” Derek who has had a long experience in business could immediately see through the man’s plan.“About that. I intend to take over as the CEO while Gemma gets the position of the chairwoman and COO,” Hughes told them.At first, Gemma completely disagreed. She wasn’t going to pull out the company from the greedy clutches of her family, only to let it fall into the h

“The buyer will be in the room with you in a minute or so,” the man told them.At his words, the door was pushed open and the assumed buyer walked in.“I vote Mr. Hughes,” he smiled the moment his eyes met Gemma’s astonished ones.Derek was the buyer! Not just Mr. Grant’s shares of that of Mr. Hughes. His entire shares were 40% and he had leverage over every single person inside the room.“Derek?” Gemma rose from her seat, stunned. She stared at him, unable to say a word.“It's concluded then, Max, this is your last day as the company’s CEO. Congratulations Nathaniel Hughes,” the decision was finally reached.The shareholders and directors went over to congratulate Hughes. Max was furious. His anger was directed at Gemma. The foolish child that brought his dismissal.Sylvia was in shock, James was vibrating, Elena was boiling, Gemma was confused."You foolish child,” Max stormed over to Gemma.“I offered you shelter, trained you in school. I fucking did everything a father would do fo

“Congratulations on your new position, Mr. Hughes. Even though I’m annoyed you and my husband kept me out of most of the plan,” Gemma congratulated Mr. Hughes, rolling her eyes at the end.“Your husband wanted it to be kept from you,” the man lied, smiling at Gemma, who in turn sent a glare in a clueless Derek’s direction.“I thought we’ve settled things. Why are you glaring at me?” Derek quickly left the men that surrounded him and approached the duo.“When did I ever settle with you,” Gemma rolled her eyes at him.“But, Gemgem,” Derek tried to coo her.“It’s Gemma to you!” she yet again rolled her eyes at him.Deep down, Gemma was excited about the fact the company’s leadership has fallen out of her family’s hands. But then again, she was offended at the fact that Derek had asked Mr. Hughes to keep an important part of their plan hidden from her.“Oh, dear, I’m done for,” Derek muttered dramatically and trailed behind her, sulking like a kid.Elena stood at a corner, watching the exc

Despite Gemma’s refusal and struggle not to leave, Logan pulled her into the car and locked the door. The latter stared outside, only to see Derek selling out punches to Daniel’s face while Daniel let him beat him up without retaliating.“What the heck is going on?” Gemma had never been so confused. Watching Daniel get beaten up without retaliating bothered her so much. Daniel wasn’t that kind of person to keep cool like this. He was the type to fight even though he was in the losing end.“Something didn’t feel right,” she muttered.“I don’t think we should leave yet,” she pulled the moving vehicle’s handle.“Can you listen and stay silent!” Logan who couldn’t hold back lashed out on her.“The company is about to face so much damage and it will all be because of you. Derek is out there beating that bastard, despite knowing the damages it will bring the company and its because of you. He has always been one to think before he acts but since you came into his life, he seemed to have los

Gemma felt like crap. Her past trauma had made her instantly become defensive when Logan talked down on her. It was as if her brain, mind and soul were done with being looked down on and instantly made her become defensive at any possible threat. The truth was that she knew Logan had only spoken to her out of anger, she completely understood him. But deep down and much to her own surprise, she wasn’t a bit apologetic for talking back at him and throwing insults at him.“What the hell happened at your family company today?” Nora rushed over to her the moment she got into the living room, much to her surprise. As far as she could remember, today’s events were not recorded. Even if it was, it shouldn’t have been released this early, right?”“What do you mean?” Gemma asked.Nora took her hand and made her stand right in front of the television. There was a video of Derek viciously punching Daniel who looked so docile and didn’t retaliate. Then it dawned on her, Daniel approaching her, Dani

Turning around, Derek got into his car and drove back to the company. Since Emma couldn't be reached because she left her phone back home, he had no other option than to drive back to the company to find her. With the amount of press camped outside the Brauns Holdings, it was pretty obvious that she won't make it into the company.“Did you drive Gemma back to the company?” Derek phoned Logan.“No, I dropped her off at home and headed out…Is she not at home?” Logan reluctantly asked.“No, and she didn't take any car along. I think she took a taxi. Worse, her phone is at home,” Derek complained.“I'm heading over to the company right now,” he added. “Go and check the security camera back home, then inform me of your findings,” he instructed then hung up.Soon, he arrived at the Brauns company, it was already around 7pm and he was pretty sure everyone must have left. He looked up at the windows of the offices there and not even one had its light on. Even the reporters that were around the

"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

“I can't, Esther,” Gemma mumbled and without saying another word, she grabbed her phone and exited the room. Esther stood looking at her. If only this lady realizes how much Derek loves and is willing to sacrifice for her. The truth was that after getting to know she was related to Derek Ferguson, she had made her research about him and found out he had a wife whom he was crazy about. As someone who researched and monitored Derek and Gemma for months. She knew they were head over heels for each other, most especially Derek. It wouldn't surprise her if Gemma brings up this abortion issue to Derek and he actually supports it. That was the extent he would go for Gemma's happiness and peace of mind. But why has Gemma not realized this yet? Esther couldn't help but question herself while staring at the door Gemma had walked through. Sighing, she went after Gemma and just then she saw her exiting the mansion. Esther hurried over to the room right next to hers, knocking like her life depend

“How is this possible?” Gemma was shocked, she stared down at her phone on the ground.Rubbing her hand on her eyes to make sure she had seen the content of the text, she picked up her phone one again and gazed at the content of the text.“Gemma, I didn't find your phone in the room, you said I could use it!” Esther called out, walking into the room, just when Gemma was about smashing her phone on the ground the second time.“Gemma! What's wrong?” Esther yelled, rushing over to her. The door was open so she didn't see any need to knock.“Why do you want to smash your phone?” She asked, startled.Quickly, she grabbed Gemma's phone from her to prevent her from smashing it on the floor.And just as she grabbed it, her eyes caught sight of the text.“Gemma,” she whispered, looking up at Gemma.Gemma was quick to snatch the phone from her.“Don't tell anyone about this?” Gemma told her.“You should tell Derek,” Esther suggested, looking up at her.“No one should know, most especially him,”

“Gemma, something happened! Your name is on the news!” A loud banging followed by Esther’s loud voice woke Gemma from sleep the next morning.“What?” She mumbled, her eyes flickering open.“Open the door! Your name is all over the news!” Esther yelled yet again, banging on Gemma's door.“Get away from there,” Gemma could hear the butler hushing the little girl.Not bothering to slip her foot into her house slippers, Gemma got off the bed and pulled the door open.Esther raced in that instant, escaping Samuel who was just about to grab her.“Come see,” she waved at Gemma.Shutting the door, merely acknowledging the butler, Gemma walked over to the bed where Esther was already seated.“Derek's company released a new product with you as the model. Then two hours later, your family company released the same product…you're also the model,” Esther announced.“What?” Gemma was so stunned that she took Esther's phone from her.“What the?” Her eyes nearly wide as saucers.“It has sparked a deba

“Serves you right, Gemma,” Nora flashed Gemma an overly sweet smile just as she reached the hallway.“Since you want to ruin my relationship with my brother, yours won't survive either. This is just karma coming for you,” Nora smiled yet again, bringing Gemma to halt.“What?” Gemma asked, looking at her.“Karma?” She scoffed.“Take a good look at yourself, then look at me. Who does your brother value most? Me or you?” Gemma returned her sweet smile.“You're not dumb, Nora. Think about it….Or maybe you already know the answer,” Gemma laughed, then made to walk away from her, but Nora wasn't letting go.“I'm his sister. It's me first before you, or anyone!” Nora was getting agitated.“Oh, really,” Gemma paused yet again, raised a brow and let out a mocking laugh.“You!” Nora glared at her.“Whatever helps you sleep at night, Nora,” Gemma walked away.“You saw what happened just now? Your relationship with him will be ruined, before you can even think of putting a strain on ours!” Nora de

“We have to find a way to kick Andrea out, without offending Gemma or making Andrea suspicious,” Derek suggested.The duo stayed silent. Each think of the best approach to the matter.“Your step-siblings…Does Gemma have any close relationship or bond with them?” Logan asked.“They just arrived today. Today ia her first time of seeing them, what sort of relationship could they possibly have?” Derek answered, wondering why Logan was suddenly bringing them up.“Well, let's use them,” Logan smiled.“How?”Logan was quick to brief him on his plans, bringing a smile to Derek's face.“Which one of them should we use, the little one? Esther, is her name, I think,” Logan proposed.“No, no. You can't. Not her, Logan,” Derek quickly protested.“What? Why?” Logan who thought they were both on the same page, stared at him confused.“Gemma seems fond of her. We can't use her. Who knows she might end up becoming close to Gemma. I can't ruin her potential relationships. Even the ones that seems insign

“No, I'm not leaving, Derek!” Nora protested the moment Gemma turned around to walk over to Derek.Gemma smiled at her stubbornness but didn't say a word and simply proceeded to sit on the bed, observing them.“We're done with this conversation, Nora!” Derek declared.“We're no way from done, Derek! I don't want those people here, please. Our home have always been perfect with them. Having that man who called himself our father is one thing, having his other kids here is another. Derek, please! You have to throw them out or soon that man will show up with his mistress to live here too!”“You have no say, Nora. This is my home. I built this place. I can decide who stays and who leaves,” Derek declared.Nora's statement made a lot of sense but then he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of listening to her. The Nora right in front of him was very different from the sister he had known all his life. Unless, she looked back at herself and amend her ways, he won't give in.“This is my

Back home, Gemma and Derek were seated on the bed. Derek was nearly losing his mind, it hasn't been more than three hours since his so called siblings arrived, yet Nora had fought them up to five times. The constant drama was making his head ache. Gemma just sat right next to him, smiling while listening to Nora's exchange with Roselle.When it all got too much, Gemma couldn't stop herself from giggling. Her giggle brought a nearly frustrated Derek's attention to her.“What?” He asked, staring at her and wondering what the heck was making her giggle.“Nothing,” Gemma responded, covering her mouth with her palm.Derek gave her a suspicious look but then looked away.“Get the fools out of here, Derek!” Nora's loud voice sounded right outside the door. Her shouts was followed by a banging sound on the door.“Fuck!” Derek cursed.“I'll get the door,” Gemma smiled, rising from her seat.Walking over to the door, Gemma pulled it open and out there stood Nora with a very disorganised hair and

Dressed in a sweatpants and tee-shirt, Logan got off his car and found his way into Braun Companies. Walking in there, he met the receptionist at the front desk.“I'm here for the CEO. Where is his office?” He asked.At first the woman failed to recognize him as this would be her first time seeing him in anything other than a business suit.“Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked.“Do I need an appointment to see him?” Logan asked back, giving the woman a death stare.“I'll inform him of your presence,” she backed down, picking up the telephone.“Show him to the CEO's office,” she instructed one of the security guards, who quickly bowed at Logan before leading him away.Logan had a grim look on his face as he approached Nathaniel's office.Andrea had tried to persuade him not to confront Nathaniel but he didn't want to hear any of that. He could provide shelter for Andrea if her life was ever in danger because of this. After all, it would be his payment to her for having Gemm
