Once Gemma got home, she wasted no time in heading to the bedroom to find Derek. The living room was filled with his greedy family like she expected. She didn’t bother indulging in any conversation with them and simply headed up the stairs, but they seemed to have a different plan.“How can an ordinary housewife walk past us without acknowledging us!” One of the old men spat.Gemma didn’t spare him a glance and simply continued climbing up the stairs.“Well, Derek allowed her to work. The disrespect is expected,” another added. But that was the least of Gemma's worries, as far as she knows these men were simply here to eat off crumbs of her husband's wealth, so talking back and exchanging words with them was simply being foolish.Getting to the hallway, she headed for their room, but then a figure tapped her from behind. Turning around, she came face to face to Derek's father. After the little drama the other night she hadn't seen him again. Seeing him now made her wonder what he wante

After getting that call from Andrea, Logan was so restless that he did bother to go back into the building to get his jacket. The weather was cold, yes. But he was going to endure because of Gemma. The last thing he wanted was to see his sister whom he had just found, get hurt. Getting into his car, he turned it on and stepped on the accelerator. Andrea's message popped into his phone at that moment, she had jusy texted him her location. He sped like never before and soon he arrived at the location Andrea sent. It was a really dark alleyway and it bothered him so much. How much danger was Gemma in that made the lady request to meet somewhere as discrete this. Looking around the place, it was so dark and stunk. It sincerely gave him chills. The place was so dark that if someone were to pass right next to you, you wouldn't see the person's face.“I'm here, where are you?” He texted her. Not sooner had he done that, someone tapped his shoulder.He instantly turned on his flashlight.“Sor

It has been 2 days since Anna got buried, things were nearly going back to normal. Derek's family had already left the house, except for his controlling father who didn't seem like he was ready to leave anytime soon.Derek and Gemma were seated inside their room, he had taken a week off from work and had urged Gemma to do so. At first she didn't, but because she knew what he was going through, Gemma agreed and stayed back. Seated on the bed with her head resting on Derek's chest, she listened to his steady heartbeat while staring into space.Ever since Derek's father decided to stay back, Gemma limited the number of times she goes downstairs, the man was simply after her life.“Logan called while you were in the bathroom,” Derek said, making Gemma turn in his direction, waiting for his next words.“Well, your product has been approved and will be launched soon, thank you sweetheart,” he kissed her cheeks.She smiled in contentment. “No, thank you, Derek. For giving my product a chance

“I got you flowers, Elena. To show my sincerity to you. I'm so sorry for hurting you,” Gemma said, placing a bouquet if rose she had gotten earlier on the desk next to Elena.“What?” Elena was stunned and stared at her. First she apologized and bow she bought her flowers.“What are you up to, you nasty bitch!” Elena fired glaring at her.Even Derek stared at Gemma wondering what she was up to. Everything she did now was completely a surprise to him. They never discussed it and not once did Gemma mention wanting to make peace with Elena. When she made him stop to get some flowers, he thought it was for herself, probably to make Elena jealous or something. Not once did it cross his mind that they were actually for Elena.“What are you up to, Gemma,” he thought, staring at her.“I came here hoping you'd see my sincerity, Elena….”“If you think acting this way will make me not press charges against you, then you're in for a big surprise,” Elena glared at her.“I understand how you feel Ele

“Let's leave and come back later,” Derek tapped Gemma's hand.“I'm worried about her,” Gemma mumbled, staring at Elena's figure, much to Derek's surprise.“You want to stay then?” He asked and Gemma nodded.Not saying another word, Derek found a seat at one corner of the room and lowered himself there.“You're worried about someone that tried to ruin your life,” Sylvia was not giving up anytime soon.Gemma didn't spare her a glance and simply focused her eyes on Elena.“This sly little thing got married to an old hag while trying to spite you….”Sylvia's words caught Gemma off guard.“What?”“Well, Elena dearest ended up getting married to a vile old man just to spite you. The old man almost took her away the moment she woke up. But Max was able to stop him.”Staring at Sylvia, Gemma didn't know whether to believe her words or not. Growing up right next to Sylvia, she knew how much the woman could lie. She could tell a perfect lie while maintaining a graceful smile.“Look outside, I'm

“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

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

“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

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
