“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

Gemma's steps were heavy as she entered the house, not even pausing to glance at Logan, who followed closely behind her. She was angry, and he could see it. He reached out, gently grabbing her wrist.“Gemma, wait,” Logan said, his voice firm but with a hint of desperation. “Why did you say those things back there?”She yanked her hand free, glaring at him. “Stay away from me, Logan. I mean it.”Without another word, she turned and stormed off to her room. Logan watched her go, frustration etched across his face. He didn’t know how to reach her anymore. He felt like every time he tried, she was slipping further away.When Gemma finally got to her room, she was startled to see Derek already there, sitting casually on her bed. She never saw him walk past her earlier. He gave her a small smile.“You can shower first,” Derek said, his tone surprisingly calm. “I need to talk to Logan.”Gemma didn’t argue; she was too exhausted to fight. She grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. T

Ever since the turnout of events at Ferguson's mansion. Gemma and Derek had turned him into a suspect and he was nowhere happy that the police were currently on his tail. For fuck's sake, he wasn't even at the company when whatever transpired between Elena and Gemma occurred and now the dumb officers are investigating him.Walking out of the police station, he got into his car.“Sir, you'll have to….” One of the police men approached him and tried to relay some kind of information to him. But James was hearing none of it.“What? Aren't you done with embarrassing me? What else do you motherfuckers want from me? My life? What exactly?” He yelled at the cop.“You know what, get out,” he glared at the cop, who stepped aside.He turned on the ignition and soon he was speeding down the road and back to his home. Getting home, he walked into the house, his anger visible in his face.The moment the maids in the house saw him, they all took to their heels. Ever since Gemma left home, James had

Daniel was very disappointed at the fact that his well taught out plan had failed. He never expected a cool headed Gemma to suddenly turn into a sly vixen. He had underestimated her, but now, he wasn't going to make the same mistake again. His palm had been to get Gemma arrested and then get her out himself. That way she would see he really cared for herore than his other bitches. The plan might sound stupid, but he had his ways. Everything was now ruined, and now he was confused on what to do, leaving Gemma was nowhere near his plan. Just as he was walking around, contemplating the best approach, his phone rang, it was James.After speaking with him for a few minutes, he hung up.“At least I have an alibi now,” he told himself.Walking back to his car, he leaned onto it and contemplated on the best approach he would use when James eventually comes over like he just said over the phone. He and James might be friends but he knew how much of an asshole James once. James wasn't one to

“You don’t want to know, trust me,” James murmured, shaking head.He had come here to inform Sylvia, knowing that she was the only one really capable of keeping Elena safe and away from the hands of her shocking new husband. He has known Sylvia all his life, she raised him and he knew every single thing about her. He knew how vicious she could be when it comes to protecting his and Elena’s interest.“What do you mean I don’t want to know, Elena’s business is mine too. Start talking James,” Sylvia said looking at James like she was the most concerned person.Looking at her, Nathaniel could only scoff, his wife was a sly vixen.“Leave the room,” James glanced at Nathaniel in disgust.Deep down, he wanted to strangle the man right there. This man took the position that was meant for him. This man outsmarted stupid Gemma whom he could just end and take over the company. Looking at Nathaniel Hughes, James knew taking him down won’t be easy but as long as the company, which is meant to be

When Nora left the room, Gemma, who had pretended to be concentrating on her laptop, finally lifted her face.Staring at the door, she could only shake her head. All her life she had been surrounded by people who despised her, people that didn't want to see her become successful. When she arrived in this family, she thought she had finally escaped, but her reality followed her here. She was never going to get peace. She would always be surrounded by people who disguise themselves as friends to bring her downEven though Nora's betrayal had hurt her, she was at least happy that she got to see the real Nora. And that was the person that took her position.“I brought snacks,” the door was pushed open and Derek walked in with a tray in his hands.“I'm no longer in the mood for it, Derek. I just want to sleep,” she mumbled.Dropping the tray on the bedside desk, Derek got onto the bed.“I saw Nora leaving the room. Your sudden change of mind has something to do with her…”“I don't want to t

“You can't be serious!” Nathaniel was pissed off.“Oh, absent daddy dearest, you're about to find out how serious I am,” Gemma rose from where she sat and headed for the door.“Do you know how many people out there that desperately pray to meet their family one day?” Nathaniel threw an unexpected question.“Excuse me?” Gemma turned around.“What is wrong with you! When your brother found out about us, he was elated, he was very happy to have a family of his own. And you… Why do you keep acting like a brat! I never raised you this way!” Nathaniel was seriously pissed off.“Raised me?” Gemma laughed, dragging her eyes from his head down to his shoes and back up again.“When was that? I might have forgotten?” She raised her brow.“Quit being like this young lady!” Nathaniel seemed to have had enough.“Quit being what, Mr. Hughes?” She yelled back.“You suddenly tell me one day that you're my dad and what, you expect me to open my arms and hug you? Daddy, is that what you want me to call y

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 Gem

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
