Dear Husband, I Came Back To Deal With You 080
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

“I know you ain't asleep, sweetheart, “ Derek who had woken up quite long ago mumbled. Staring at Gemma who was Pretending to be asleep, made him smile to himself. Last night was totally wild for both of them. If anyone had ever told him that Gemma would be this wild in bed, he would never believe. But having a first hand experience of it was exhilarating. His body was reacting merely at the sight of her.“I'm done for,” he could only mutter to himself.The first time they had sex, he had been very careful as he knew it was Gemma's first time. But this time, they had gone all out. He knew he had opened Gemma's Pandora box. But he wasn't bothered, he was ready for all of it.“Hey,” he whispered into her ear.Gemma shivered, but still maintained her pretense of being asleep.Derek smirked.“Open your eyes now, Gemma.”But Gemma wasn't ready to do that. She had mentally recollected how wild she was last night, her cries of pleasure, her screams, how she kept asking Derek for more, how she

Never in a million years did the couple think their bed activity would be interrupted with a news as shocking as what Andrea just told them.Heck, it was the weekend and they just wanted to spend it together in each other's arms. “We'll be right out, Andrea,” Gemma called out at Andrea who was still outside the door.Few minutes passed with the couple still in an awkward position. Derek, whose tip was already at Gemma's entrance, didn't know if he should push it all the way in or just pull out. Whatever happens to Elena was none of his business, but he wasn't sure that was the same for Gemma.Gemma on the other hand was confused. She wanted this, her body was fired up. Whatever happens to Elena was the least of her worries. Andrea only said it was an emergency, it wasn't like Elena was dead.“Should I…” Derek was saying but a loud bang on the door stopped him midway.“It's an emergency, You both have to go to the hospital real quick!” Andrea yelled yet again, banging on the door.Dere

“Hi, ex. Haven’t seen you for long,” Daniel waved at Gemma and flashed Derek a smile. “You have all the evidence you need. Take her,” he gestured to the cops who were standing just behind him.At his words, one of the cops approached Gemma and stretched out a handcuff, then began rambling about how she has the right to a lawyer and sort.Things were really messy, but Derek, who had dealt with worse, interfered.“On what grounds are you arresting my wife,” he walked over to stand in between Gemma and the cop.“I would appreciate it if you don't stand in the way of our job. We all heard her admit her crime now. And I believe you heard it too,” the cop said, gesturing to Derek to move aside.“I never heard a thing,” Derek acted ignorant. He turned to Nathaniel.“Did you?” “I heard nothing,” Nathaniel shook his head, same with Sylvia.“I knew you would try to play your way out of it,” Daniel stepped in.“I have it on record,” he bragged, then played a recording on his phone.“Oh, please

The couple didn't bother spending more time at the hospital. The moment Daniel left, they decided to leave too. But Sylvia had something to say.“You took after me, Gemma. We're so alike,” she looked up at Gemma, smiling.Her words seemed to infuriate Gemma whose face was bubbly from the constant taunting from Derek about her little dramatic display, she quickly changed her expression.“Excuse me?” She glanced at Sylvia.“I'm nothing like you. If I were to be like you, I would have commuted suicide long ago. There is absolutely nothing likable about you. You're horrifying and do not deserve to be anyone's mother,” Gemma glared at her.Derek stilled at the harsh words coming from Gemma. It was his first time seeing her this way, it excited and bothered him. After finding out who her family actually were, Gemma seemed to change.“Young lady, I won't stand and watch you talk to your mother like that!” Nathaniel who was hurt by her words on a now sobbing Sylvia was quick to intervene.“And

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.

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
