“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

    “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

    “You know what, I think I'm tired of this marriage. I'd like to rest…” Gemma walked away, leaving Derek standing and staring at her retreating figure.To Gemma, every single thing she had heard inside that office meant nothing to her. She has always hated her family, hated every single person. Sylvia inclusive and that wasn't going to change anytime soon. If Sylvia thought she could just come onto her with Hughes, thinking that she still trusted Hughes and would listen to him after he pulled those two stunts on her, then Sylvia must be a joker.Her heels made clicking sounds as they aggressively made contact with the floor. She was out of here and the next time she returns would be to kick Hughes off that position. For Nora, she would give out a quiet warning to her to get off the COO seat. She didn't understand why Nora would leave her brother's company where she would be treated with a lot more respect than here. She didn't understand why Nora, who has never been interested in workin

    “You killed your sister! Someone call the police!” “What a classic day,” Gemma rolled her eyes, approaching Elena.“You killed her!” one of Elena’s minion inside the office she fell into was quick to accuse Gemma.“I'm calling the police,” she threatened.“Chill, she is still breathing,” Gemma mumbled.Why the heck did she even leave home today. She could have just stayed back, had a rest and avoided all of this. The worst part was that she didn't even do the photo shoot that brought her here.“You've always hated her. You've always tried to make everyone hate her. Now that you've seen that we'll always be on her side, you resort to physically harming her!” The young lady accused.“If you keep running your mouth without calling 911, she’d really die,” Gemma rolled her eyes.Physically hurting Elena was the last thing she wanted to do. Yes, seeing Elena in pain brings her joy. But that shouldn't be physical pain. She wasn't that kind of person. She knew she could enjoy breaking Elena’s

    “We’ve extracted the glasses….The patient has gone into a coma…” The doctor announced.Gemma was stunned, she took a few steps back in shock and ended up hitting her back against the wall. Guilt filled her heart. “I'm not this kind of person, I shouldn't have pushed Elena. Why did I even let myself lose control,” she let her tears stream down her face.The day had started nicely and she had hoped it would end on the same note. Never did she imagine she would be here. Never did she imagine that she would be the reason someone goes into a coma.“Doesn't most coma patients die?” She muttered out loud.By this time, the doctor had walked away after telling them that Elena will soon be rolled out of the operation theater. “Then so be it. She deserves it,” Sylvia spoke.Gemma’s eyes went in her direction.“If you think I'll come running to you with open arms after that utterance, then you must be out of your mind. I would never accept a monster as my mother,” Gemma glared at her.“Call me

    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
