“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

“We have to find a way to kick Andrea out, without offending Gemma or making Andrea suspicious,” Derek suggested.The duo stayed silent. Each think of the best approach to the matter.“Your step-siblings…Does Gemma have any close relationship or bond with them?” Logan asked.“They just arrived today. Today ia her first time of seeing them, what sort of relationship could they possibly have?” Derek answered, wondering why Logan was suddenly bringing them up.“Well, let's use them,” Logan smiled.“How?”Logan was quick to brief him on his plans, bringing a smile to Derek's face.“Which one of them should we use, the little one? Esther, is her name, I think,” Logan proposed.“No, no. You can't. Not her, Logan,” Derek quickly protested.“What? Why?” Logan who thought they were both on the same page, stared at him confused.“Gemma seems fond of her. We can't use her. Who knows she might end up becoming close to Gemma. I can't ruin her potential relationships. Even the ones that seems insign

“No, I'm not leaving, Derek!” Nora protested the moment Gemma turned around to walk over to Derek.Gemma smiled at her stubbornness but didn't say a word and simply proceeded to sit on the bed, observing them.“We're done with this conversation, Nora!” Derek declared.“We're no way from done, Derek! I don't want those people here, please. Our home have always been perfect with them. Having that man who called himself our father is one thing, having his other kids here is another. Derek, please! You have to throw them out or soon that man will show up with his mistress to live here too!”“You have no say, Nora. This is my home. I built this place. I can decide who stays and who leaves,” Derek declared.Nora's statement made a lot of sense but then he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of listening to her. The Nora right in front of him was very different from the sister he had known all his life. Unless, she looked back at herself and amend her ways, he won't give in.“This is my

Back home, Gemma and Derek were seated on the bed. Derek was nearly losing his mind, it hasn't been more than three hours since his so called siblings arrived, yet Nora had fought them up to five times. The constant drama was making his head ache. Gemma just sat right next to him, smiling while listening to Nora's exchange with Roselle.When it all got too much, Gemma couldn't stop herself from giggling. Her giggle brought a nearly frustrated Derek's attention to her.“What?” He asked, staring at her and wondering what the heck was making her giggle.“Nothing,” Gemma responded, covering her mouth with her palm.Derek gave her a suspicious look but then looked away.“Get the fools out of here, Derek!” Nora's loud voice sounded right outside the door. Her shouts was followed by a banging sound on the door.“Fuck!” Derek cursed.“I'll get the door,” Gemma smiled, rising from her seat.Walking over to the door, Gemma pulled it open and out there stood Nora with a very disorganised hair and

Dressed in a sweatpants and tee-shirt, Logan got off his car and found his way into Braun Companies. Walking in there, he met the receptionist at the front desk.“I'm here for the CEO. Where is his office?” He asked.At first the woman failed to recognize him as this would be her first time seeing him in anything other than a business suit.“Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked.“Do I need an appointment to see him?” Logan asked back, giving the woman a death stare.“I'll inform him of your presence,” she backed down, picking up the telephone.“Show him to the CEO's office,” she instructed one of the security guards, who quickly bowed at Logan before leading him away.Logan had a grim look on his face as he approached Nathaniel's office.Andrea had tried to persuade him not to confront Nathaniel but he didn't want to hear any of that. He could provide shelter for Andrea if her life was ever in danger because of this. After all, it would be his payment to her for having Gemm

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 N

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.
