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. Patt
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
“What the fuck!” Derek exclaimed. “You see, after my family got new faces. I still didn't think we were safe. We couldn't be together just in case someone got suspicious. For that reason, I reached out to my dad. He was your family’s butler. It has been his job all my life and he never thinks of leaving due to his close relationship with your grandfather. So, when I reached out to him. He made me keep my son, Logan in an orphanage home promising to bring him into your family somehow. My wife, who wanted to help out the family in any way she could volunteered to get married to Max and stay close to him. She took Gemma with her and acted like a single mum who had been out the the country. She was able to do this wothout getting caught because Max didn't know my pilot’s face…..” “You see, I fired my previous pilot barely a week before the incident because I found out he was selling information about my family and I to Max…..So, after every single person left, I was alone and took on
