Elena is in a coma!!!! Vote, comment and please, I'm on my knees pleading with you all to drop comments and reviews🙏
“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
“I guess there are still sides of you I'm yet to explore… Let's get home first,” Derek said.Before he headed to the exit, he turned around to look at the couple staring at him.“Don't think you have my backing simply because I made my wife listen to you. I stand with whatever she says. If she doesn't want to have any ties with you, then I'll advise you to refrain from reaching out to either of us.”He walked away, with Gemma still on his shoulder.“Put me down, Derek!” she slammed her hands on his back.“I will,” he mumbled.“Put me the fuck down!” Gemma was now infuriated.Derek still bother saying a words to her. He had her in his shoulders till he got to his car and threw her inside.He got in through the other side and soon drove off.“Ho could you! You keep giving me reasons to doubt you,” Gemma couldn't keep calm.“I won't say anything till we get home, Gemma,” Derek muttered.The last thing he wanted was to get into an argument with his wife while driving. Her life was importa
James wasn't pleased with the turn out of events. Every single thing he had orchestrated with his father was failing. Nothing was working in their favour and he starting to get pissed off by it all.Even if his father were to leave the company he never expected it to be taken from just an outsider, an ordinary shareholder at that and it was all because of Gemma. Things got fucked up because of her.“I wonder how you're still eating,” he muttered, glaring at the figure sitting right across him.“I need food to survive,” Max shrugged.“Things aren't looking too good for us ans you're here, preaching about food? We just lost our family company! And all you care about is food?” James was so pissed that if Max was within his reach he could slap him.“I need food to function, James….”“What if things go south while you're busy eating? What if things don't go our way!” “Not like the favour is on our side right now,” James lamented.Max chuckled.“You're still a kid James. If things goes sou
Derek pulled into the driveway, the engine’s rumble fading into silence. The weight of their argument, still hanging heavily in the air. He turned off the car, his gaze lingering on Gemma’s tense profile before he got out and walked around to her side. Gemma's arms were crossed and her face held different emotions, barely acknowledging him. She got out before he could get the door and slammed it shut.The house was quiet as they entered. Derek kept his distance, sensing that the calm before the storm was about to break. Gemma, her frustration barely contained, stormed up the stairs. Her footsteps echoed loudly in the otherwise still house. It was as if Samuel and the others knew Gemma's mood would be pretty messed up and stayed away. Derek followed her up the stairs, his mind racing with worry and regret. He watched as Gemma hurried down the hallway and pushed open their bedroom door with a force that made it slam against the wall. The door bounced back slightly but remained open, an
Derek sat outside the door, his heart heavy with regret. Each minute stretched on, his mind racing with thoughts of how to mend his relationship with his wife. He replayed their earlier argument in his head and then realized he was in the wrong. If he was in Gemma’s shoes he would also have the same reaction or even worse. Keeping things about her life from her didn't speak good of him and he knew that. He cared for Gemma deeply, and was willing to set things right again, only if she would agree to open the door. Sighing, he stood up, driven by an impulse to reach out to her. Taking a deep breath, he knocked gently on their bedroom door. “Gemma?” he called softly. “Can we talk, please?” Gemma didn't say a word, but he refused to give up. “I know you need space, but I think we need to communicate. Please, just a few minutes?” He earnestly begged. The door remained shut, and his heart sank again. He paced the hallway, his mind in a turmoil. He wouldn't be able to sleep this nigh
“Derek, you hid something so significant from me!” She pointed her index finger at him in agony. The revelation about her family was something she didn't want to think of ever again in her life. Gemma was genuinely upset at Derek. “Hiding these things from her won't make me feel good when I find out. They make me upset. Derek, they make me hate you. I can't be with you if you keep hiding details of my life from me…You knew about everything my so-called parents told me today. The nonsense about my real identity and not once did you think to tell me about it. Instead you stayed right inside that office and made me listen to their nonsense. I'm so disappointed in you. I honestly expected better from you. But no…” “Hey,” Derek, who understood every point she was making, knew trying to defend himself would result in more issues. “Hey,” he took her hand into his, staring right into her soul. “I acted like a teenager. I'm so sorry,” he muttered a heartfelt apology to Gemma, wanting to en
“It's attempted murder, not just bodily harm. Elena is in a fucking coma!” James yelled.“You're under arrest Mrs. Ferguson,” the female cop stated.“What the fuck do you think you're doing?” A pissed off Derek took Gemma’s hand “Let me handle this,” he said and pulled her behind him.“Sir, you're preventing us from doing our job,” the female cop protested, pulling out a handcuff, intending to cuff Gemma.“I'm sure that nonsense you just pulled out is not for my wife…” Derek fumed.“Elena is in a fucking coma because of her and you're defending her?” James was so pissed. As much as he just found out that he wasn't at all related to Elena. She was still the little girl he doted on while growing up. His only little sister and he wasn't going to let a filt like Emma get away with bringing bodily harm on Elena. “So, you're really here because of Elena?” Derek raised a brow at James.“Oh, he got me there,” James smiled inwardly.Yes, he did love Elena. But that want the reason he was her
Derek and Gemma stood there on the stairs, watching James fume. He looked so mad that his plan failed. His glare met Gemma not once or twice. But each time, Gemma flashed him a smile, reminding him that he lost.“I swear, I'll find evidence and drag you to hell!” He yelled.“Until then, James,” Gemma spoke this time.Derek had earlier made her not to speak, since he had been in similar situations as a businessman a lot of times, he knew how to handle it. But this was Gemma’s first time having to face the cops this way. To avoid slips, Derek took charge.“Don't bother talking to him,” Derek patted Gemma’s head.She smiled and nodded at him.“You bitch. First, you draw the company back with the new product launch after boasting of how you'll be the new model. Now you hurt the original model after seeing that you don't stand a chance….Arrest her, she has every reason to hurt Elena!” James yelled at the retreating cops.“The model photos of the new products didn't fail to get taken because
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
