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.

“What's going on?” She asked the moment she got into the guest room.“We are getting a divorce!” Gemma announced“What?”“What happened? What the heck did Derek do this time? Did you two fight? What caused the fight? Can't you just reconcile? Can you forgive my brother? I'm sorry I acted like I didn't care when you left the house that night. I really do care, Gemma. I just don't know how to show it. Don't divorce Derek because of it, Gemma…”“Nora, it has nothing to do with you and I'm not mad at you, not even a bit,” Gemma told her.“Then what?” Nora’s heart was tearing apart.“I'll tell you later, Nora. I want to get some rest first. Today was hectic,” Gemma mumbled.Nora nodded in understanding. Even though she wanted to know what happened so she would know how to bring them back together, she understood that Gemma needed time to calm her head and maybe rethink the whole divorce thing too.“Divorce isn't the only solution to problems in marriage,” she dropped a word of advice.

Dressed in a body clinging red dress that barely covered her breast and highlighted her curves, Elena set out to bring her plans to life. She would do whatever it takes to bring Gemma to her knees even if it meant selling her soul.Pulling the already short dress up, Elena walked into the golden Den club. It was a club notable among young ladies seeking to find sexual and financial favours among wealthy men. The club was mainly dominated by old men who were ready to spend money on willing females, provided they were ready to do their bidding.“Tracy,” she waved at her friend, yelling over the loud music.“You made it,” the latter smiled, walking up to her.“Of course,” she smiled.“So, who is my catch for the night?” She looked around the place.“Impatient, are we?” Tracy smiled.“Come have a drink,” Tracy led her to a seat.“You'll be escorting Mr. Brown. He isn't here yet…He is the wealthiest in the whole of Atlanta,” Tracy informed her.Elena rolled her eyes at this.“You and I kno

Chapter 71Gemma ended up chasing Derek out of the bathroom that morning. The dude couldn't keep his hands to himself. Heck, they ended up having two rounds of love making right there in the bathroom when she was running out of time.“Can you tell Nora to tell Andrea to get ready. She is coming to the company with me,” she told Derek who was all over her even as she dressed up for work.“Is this your way of chasing me away from you,” he grumbled.“Yes,” Gemma stood at akimbo.“Now, go get Nora. And stop acting like a baby,” she rolled her eyes at him.Derek laughed.“Yes, ma'am. This big baby of yours is at your service,” he winked at her, then left the room.By the time he got back, Gemma was already dressed and ready to go. He picked up her handbag and led her out of the room.“Now you're acting like my errand boy,” Gemma laughed at his sillinessDerek didn't utter a word and blew her a kiss.Once they got downstairs, they met a dressed up Andrea and a surprisingly dressed up Nora.

“Wait, what?” Gemma was in shock. “Your precious daughter isn't yours?” Her eyes were wide. “She isn't, Gemma. You're my daughter, not her. I'm your birth mother, Gemma.” Gemma stared at her wondering if she had lost her mind. Then Nathaniel spoke. “I'm your father, Gemma,” Nathaniel announced. Gemma stared at the duo before her, wondering if they had drunk any substance that morning. “You two should get your brains checked,” she shook her head. Sylvia and Hughes exchanged confused looks. “I thought you said Derek found out?” Sylvia asked. “Yes. I left obvious hints for his private investigator. Did she miss them?” Gemma rolled her eyes at what she considered a lame attempt from the couple to instigate her against Derek. “Nice try you two,” she got up and headed for the door. “I have no reason to lie about being your father, Gemma. Max has never treated you like a father, has he?” “Sylvia has never treated me like a mother too,” Gemma clapped back. “She has but you never

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
