“Good morning, sweetheart,” Derek kissed Gemma’s forehead.The duo had ended up spending the night at the orphanage and had just woken up. Actually, Derek woke up first and had been staring at Gemma ever since.“Good morning,” Gemma mumbled, rising from the bed.“What time is it right now?” she mumbled“Just a little past 8am,” A smiling Derek answered.Upon hearing him, Gemma sprang off the bed like her pants were on fire. “What’s wrong?” Derek was startled by her sudden action“Mr. Hughes will appoint me as the COO today. I have to be there early. Wait, don't tell me you forgot,” she narrowed her eyes at himDerek cleared his throat.“I didn't,” he muttered, not looking at her face.“Is that a smile I see on your face?” Gemma glared playfully at him.“What! My face is always like this,” he defended himself, smiling even more widely.“Seriously, Mr. Ferguson?” Gemma gave him another narrowed look.Derek slowly got off the bed and approached where she stood on the other side of the b

Gemma had to take a shower and change her dress before she shows up at the company that day. For that reason, Derek drove back home first so she could get ready. They had taken Andrea along with them. According to Derek, it was so she could get familiar with the place so she doesn't get lost when she moves in.Gemma didn't object, knowing he was doing it for her. But then she was kind of worried about what the other family members would say.Once the car pulled up inside the property, they alighted. A stunned Andrea couldn't stop her mouth from falling open.“I'll show you to your room, Drea. I need to head to the company,” Gemma took her hand, leading her into the house.Once the door to the living room was pushed open, she came face to face with a sleep deprived Logan. She didn't bother saying a word to him and side stepped him, walking further into the house.Logan didn't really care about her. His entire focus was on a grinning Derek walking towards him.“I called you all night, D

Derek had gotten a phone call earlier. It was from the person he had contacted to look into Gemma’s actual ties with her family. The information he got wasn't really what he was hoping for, but at least it did set somethings straight. He spent the next minutes on the phone and by the time he was done, the meeting was over. Walking into the meeting room, he couldn't find Gemma. He was about to walk away when he heard the people in there congratulating a familiar woman. “Mr. Hughes,” He called out to the man once he realized what he had done.“What do you think you're doing?” he was furious.“I believe Gemma isn't ready to take on such a tasking position yet. She is too young and…”“Who are you to decide?” Derek was furious.“I'm the CEO…”“Only because I made you one. I can push you out of that position with just a snap of my finger.”The exchange between the two drew the attention of the other parties in the room with them. James being part of them was happy. Even though he didn't get

Gemma was sprawled on the floor vibrating with anger. Her fist was clenched and her teeth gnashing. Just yesterday she was celebrating a win, only for things to go south again. At this point, she was getting nowhere and was literally back to square one Rising from the floor, she dusted off her clothes.“Where the fuck was Derek!” She was so annoyed that she could punch a hole right through the face of the next person that annoys her.“You look like you belong there on the ground,” one of the company's employees and Elena’s minion said from the side. From the sound of her voice, Gemma knew she was the same person that had put fear into her by screaming about the liquid being acid.“That's right. And I won't mind dragging you down here with me. Only difference will be you being six feet beneath me and inside a woddencontainer too,” Gemma countered.Her response was by far not what the lady anticipated. She scurried away muttering curse words.“Fools,” Gemma cursed.She pulled out her ph

Gemma was furious, not just at the fact that Elena had turned the entire happening around and accused her of attacking her. She was more mad at the fact that Derek once again kept important information from her. First it was about him purchasing shares and making Hughes the CEO, now this. What the heck was wrong with him for God’s sake.“Your company has CCTV, right?” Gemma threw a random question at Hughes.“What has that got to do with what I just said?” Hughes asked.“Since you can’t see my reddened face, then maybe you should ask your employees where I threw acid on Elena. Then go watch the footage…”“I'll send a friend over here tomorrow, give her a nice position. Her credentials are pretty outstanding,” Despite all that had happened today, she didn't forget she had promised to secure Andrea a position here. Saying this, she walked away.“What about the photo shoot?” Hughes called out to her.“Not now, Hughes. I've wasted a lot of time here today,” she waved him off.Gemma knew wh

After the little drama with Daniel, Derek was on his way to Gemma after he got information that she was in the photo studio. He had gotten to the door of the studio when his phone rang. “Didn't we just finish speaking barely an hour ago?” He asked impatiently. He needed to find Gemma to know how she was feeling. Hughes' betrayal was almost unexpected. “It's about your wife, sir. I think you should come here in person. It isn't something we can discuss over the phone,” the caller said Hearing that it was all about Gemma made him change his route. Hanging up, he sent Gemma a text saying he was going for an urgent meeting and will be back to pick her up later. Outside the company, he got into his car and sped off to meet his caller. It was the lady he had put in charge of uncovering Gemma’s real identity. “Good afternoon sir,” she greeted on seeing him. Derek nodded, signaling her to hit the hammer on the head. “Your wife is indeed a Braun,” the woman told him. Derek was stunned

TWO YEARS AGO“What the fuck is wrong with you, Rachel! Why do you keep pissing me off every single time!” Derek yelled, glaring at Rachel.“I only took your money, Derek. I'm your damned girlfriend. It's my right. It's not like I took your life!” Rachel clapped back.“You invested my money on a collapsing business! I gave you access to my black card just so you can shop with it. I never said you can invest the money in there! You just wasted millions of dollars for Christ's sake!” “How was I supposed to know the company would fail? They seemed very promising, so I invested.”“And you didn't think to discuss it with me. I mean it's my money for fuck’s sake!” Derek was so pissed off that he walked away slamming the door shut.This has always been his problem with Rachel. Her over spending was killing him. Every single time, she spends his money on something unreasonable. He used to ignore her irrelevant expenses but this was the height of it. When he received a debit of over $10 milli

“So, you walked off alone because of that?” Derek growled. “Why do you keep jeopardizing your safety! Do you fucking think you'll be given another second chance if lose your life again!”“What? How do you know about that?” Gemma was stunned, she stared at Derek, waiting to hear a reasonable explanation from him. Her entire anger, her fears and every single thing, forgotten. All she wanted to know was how the fuck Derek knows she was given a second chance.Derek balled his fist, looking away from her.“How did you know about my second chance, Derek?” She pressed.“Don't push it, Gemma. Let's just go home. We've had enough drama for just one day,” Derek mumbled.“You see! This is the problem with you. You wave off my questions. You keep every single thing away from me, even the details of my own freaking life! I'll ask you once again. How the heck do you know about my second chance!” Gemma was now agitated. She wasn't going to let Derek go until he told her how he got to know about it.

After the incident at the Ferguson’s mansion, Logan couldn't put aside the nagging feeling he kept having. Maybe, James wasn't the one who made an attempt on Gemma's life this time. It could have been Nathaniel. Judging from what Andrea told him, his dad could've been behind the threat.His fist clenched as Andrea's trembling words resonated into his mind. The weight of her revelation made his chest tighten with anger and disbelief. Nathaniel, his own father, was plotting against Gemma, his only daughter! The thought alone was enough to nearly make him lose his mind.He could picture Andrea saying every word of Nathaniel's foolishness.Andrea wiped her tears, her hands shaking. "He said if I didn’t cooperate, he’d ruin me, Gemma, my career...everything. I didn’t know what to do, Logan. I thought I could handle it, but now I realize I’m in over my head."Logan took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. "Start from the beginning," he urged, his voice steady. "What exactly has

Leaving the bed was like a chore to Gemma. All she wanted was to lay back there and have a well deserved rest. Her life has been on a roller coaster these past few weeks and to top it all, she was going back to work in just two days. She was going to face her crazy father. “Oh, lord,” she could only mumble. She could feel her head begin to ache, making her sigh.“What's wrong?” Derek asked, approaching her.Gemma shook her head.“Nothing, I'm just tired,” she told him.“You know you don't have to go welcome my dad's kids. You can stay back. I'll be back before you know it,” Derek offered and tried to make her lay back down.“It's nothing. I should see them,” she got off the bed, slipping her legs into her flipflops.“Let's go,” she gave Derek a small smile.Derek could only sigh.“How about I carry to downstairs,” he winked at her.Gemma gave him a suspicious glare.“No, I'm good,” she rolled her eyes at him.“If you say so,” Derek shrugged, then winked at her.The couple found their

“Derek, about the guy you took hostage yesterday,” Gemma tried starting up a conversation with Derek.It was already morning but the events of the previous day was still fresh on her mind.Her words made Derek look at her.“You already know James sent him. Why else are you still keeping him here. You can hand him over to the police and get James too,” Gemma complained, staring at him.“We already spoke about this, Gemma. The police won't be able to do a thing…at least not now,” Derek shrugged.“What do you mean?”“You think a guy like this will easily give out James’ name? You're smarter than this, sweetheart…Just let me handle it my own way,” Derek said, gently patting her hair.“But…” Gemma tried to counter.“Just forget it, Gemma. Besides, James shouldn't just be punished. I just don't want him to end up arrested by the police and then he goes to jail and sort…where he might likely get parole or even escape. I want him gone forever. I want him gone from the surface of this earth.”G

Back at the hospital, Elena sat staring at her phone. She had just called Gemma but then it was as if Gemma didn’t want yo speak with her. Gemma had hung up and now her number isn't reachable. Which only meant one thing, Gemma had turned off her phone to avoid speaking to her.“So much for wanting to be at peace with me,” she mumbled.Seated right beside the bed, Sylvia couldn't help but glare at Elena. Her entire Praters had been for the girl to just die but that didn't happen. Now, she was stuck here, having yo look after her to protect her family.“Mother, Did Gemma say anythinhg while I was unconscious?” She turned in Sylvia's direction.“No, I made her leave. That girl is absolutely horrible. Stay away from her. She means no good…”“Mother,” Elena tried to cut her off, but Sylvia wouldn't let her say a word.“Forget all about the reconciliation and sisters nonsense she talked about. You two can never get along. You’re kind and worlds above her while she is merely beneath your toe

“I think Elena is awake,” Gemma mumbled, showing Derek the caller ID.Derek sighed. He wasn't going to let Gemma step foot out of the house, at least not today.“Let me have the phone, Gemma,” he muttered.Before Gemma could find time to react, he took the phone from her and hung up the call, then proceeded to turn off the phone.“What are you doing?” Gemma was surprised by his actions.“I can't let you go out. At least not today. I need to know what else that darn brother of yours is up to. Until I'm able to figure that out, you'll remain in here!” Derek declared, his eyes never left Gemma as he made these declarations.“Derek…” Gemma tried go argue but he cut her off.“Please, sweetheart,” he held her shoulders and stared right into her eyes“I already lost you once. I can't lose you again. Heavens gave us a second chance to be together. We can't ruin it. We can't mess it up. We have to be together for as long as we can. Just listen to me, please my love.

The mansion was suddenly alive with chaos. The sharp sound of gunshots echoed. Derek grabbed Gemma’s arm and pulled her deeper into the walk-in closet, shutting the door and grabbing his gun from a hidden compartment in the corner.“Derek!” Gemma yelled out, trying to push the door open and rush out.“Stay in there, Gemma. Do not come out until everything dies down,” Derek ordered her for the first time, his voice firm, leaving no room for argument.Gemma’s heart pounded as he stepped out, locking eyes with her one last time before closing the closet door.The sound of Derek’s footsteps faded into the background of muffled voices and the relentless pounding of her own heartbeat. The entire place was completely quiet for a few seconds, adding to Gemma’s fear. But then all hell broke loose once again. The unmistakable clash of bodies followed by the deafening discharge of another gunshot filled the air. Gemma pressed her hands to her ears, trembling. A loud thud reverberated through the

“Derek!” Gemma's voice squealed as they exited the bathroom. Derek had just grabbed her from behind.“What?” He asked, acting nonchalant and oblivious of where his hands were rested.“Get your hand off me,” Gemma attempted being serious and strict.“Or else what?” Derek raised a brow, adjusting his hands on her butt. “You're shameless,” Gemma could only shake her head, hitting his hand off and heading for the closet.“Whose fault? You turned a holy man like me into something else. You have to bear the consequences," Derek shrugged, following her into the closet. Since it was a walk-in closet, there was more than enough space to contain the two of them as it was practically a huge room on it's own.“Let me cream your body,” Derek offered, leaning against the wall and watching Gemma pick out pajamas. “I can do that myself, you shameless man,” Gemma rolled her eyes.Once she got the pajamas, she tried walking out of the closet but then Derek had other plans.“What if I tie up your hands

As Gemma headed up the stairs with Derek, she could feel the weight of Nora’s words and the relentless back-and-forth they’d just had. Her mind kept replaying the moments she once shared with Nora, back when she thought they’d always support each other. Now, with each step, she felt the growing realization that their friendship had become something that would never be. At least to her, she was never going to have anything to do with Nora. Once they reached their room, Derek closed the door behind them, leaning back against it with a sigh.“Are you okay?” he asked softly.Gemma nodded, though her expression said otherwise. “It’s just… Nora, she…she hurt me,” she stuttered.Derek placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. “You’ve been through so much just for her. You don’t owe her anything, Gemma. She is my sister, not yours. You're not obliged to have a good relationship with her. If she’s choosing the company’s interests over your well-being, then let her go.”Gemma nodded.“You’re rig

“Is Derek upstairs?” Nora asked, walking into the living room. She had just gotten back from work.Looking at her, she seemed like she was the least person Anna's death affected. Probably because she never had a close relationship with Anna. Derek had always been everyone's favorite child.“He went out with his wife earlier,” Samuel responded, walking right past her.“Where did he go to? I thought he said he won't be leaving the house for a week?” She asked.“Well, you can get the info on his whereabout from him, if you maybe try calling him and stop interrogating me. Excuse me…” Samuel walked away, leaving Nora standing there surprised. This was the first time Samuel talked to her this way.As Samuel walked over to oversee the affairs of the maids, he could only berate himself for letting his emotions take the better part of him.The truth is that he had heard about how Nora took Gemma's position. Yes, he had raised Nora. But Gemma was his grandchild who has been through a lot. Anyone
