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

Gemma was welcomed into the orphanage that night. The kids who knew her familiar face surrounded her. For a moment, she forgot about her current predicament and got lost in the joy the new environment brought.“You got married, Gemma. I saw it on the news!” One of the little kids said excitedly.Gemma was once again reminded of Derek. She became gloomy but tried her best to hide her sadness.“Yes, I'm married now,” she smiled down at the little girl.“Where is your husband, you didn't bring him!” the girl looked around as if she was searching for someone.“He is busy with work,” Gemma lied.“Let Gemma rest, you can talk and ask all your questions tomorrow,” the old lady in charge of the orphanage approached them.“You all should be in bed now, it's past 8pm.”At her words, the kids grumbled and got off Gemma’s body.“Call your husband and ask him to come. We want to see him!” one of the kids yelled.Others concurred. Gemma smiled, nodding at them, just so they could quickly hurry to b

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
