“That's…that’s her,” Derek stuttered.

“No way,” Logan added.

“Hello?” The voice sounded again, and then Victor hung up.

“We all know who the culprit is,” he stated.

“Is Andrea at home right now?” Derek asked.

“She went out earlier, I doubt she is back,” Logan said still staring at the phone in disbelief.

“Let's all go over to your house and wait for her to return,” Victor stated with urgency.

“Gemma is still crying,” Derek mumbled.

“You, go to her then. Victor and I will go do with that bitch,” Logan shrugged.

“So, what's the plan?” Victor asked.

For over twenty minutes, they all sat there on the floor, going over their plan over and over again and once they were satisfied, they swung into action.

“I'll go too, I'll send Esther to be with Gemma. This is about her safety,” Derek sighed.

Victor and Logan didn't bother saying a word to him. Knowing he was a hopeless romantic, he might suddenly change his mind and decide to go be with Gemma.

    “I don’t think she is home yet,” Logan mumbled, looking around his house. The trio had arrived at Logan’s house a while back and there didn’t seem to be any sign of Andrea. Logan had checked her room but she wasn’t there, which instantly made them conclude she wasn’t back yet. “We’ve heard you Mr. Lover boy,” Victor joked when Derek tried going over everything once again. Derek simply rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply to Victor's words, knowing it will only result in him being teased even more. “Isn't that your phone ringing, man?” Victor tapped Derek's back. “I'm not in the mood to take any calls now. I just want to get this over with,” he mumbled, not bothering to touch his phone. “You have a pregnant wife who is considering an abortion. What if she did something to harm the baby or worse herself?” Victor raised a brow. “Don't jinx things,” Logan smacked his head. But then hia words were enough to make Derek quickly pull out his phone. “How is Gemma?” He asked theoment

    As Gemma and Derek approached the obstetrics ward exit, they suddenly ran into a duo unexpectedly. It was Daniel and James. One would wonder what they were doing in the obstetrics ward and together at that. It was no news that the two never got along, so seeing them together like this was truly a surprise.Even though Gemma was more than curious to know why they were together, she didn’t attempt to say a word to them. Instead, she kept her eyes straight ahead and walked past them.“Ignoring me now?” Daniel spoke, grabbing her hand and pulling her backward.“Get your hands off her,” Derek fumed, grabbing Daniel’s hand and furiously pulling it off Gemma’s arm.“Take it easy, man,” James laughed, coming to stand in between Gemma and James.“I’m surprised to see you here,” James flashed Gemma a smile.“Considering how terrible you claim your childhood was and how you claim to have been abused. I never thought you’d one day decide to have a child of your own. The little one might get the t

    Back at Logan’s house, he and Victor were seated in the living room, waiting for Andrea to show up. It had been hours since they arrived, yet there was no sign of her. Just when Victor stood up to complain for the hundredth time, the door was pushed open and Andrea walked in, looking really exhausted. She halted at the sight of the duo and seemed surprised at Victor’s presence in the house. She had never seen Victor leave the house before, he was alwys indoors back at the Ferguson’s mansion.‘Hi,” she waved at Victor and offered Logan a smile, the walked past them. But then, Victor called her back.“I’m actually here to see you, Andrea,” Victor said aloud, much to Andrea’s astonishment.She turned around “Me?” she asked Victorf nodded.“You’re the only Andrea here, aren’t you?” he sarcastically remarked.“Come sit, Andrea,” Logan called out to her, and slowly patted Victor’s back to make him chill. Waiting for hours just to speak with Andrea had made him cranky and agitated.Andrea

    “Where did you pick up the pill, Andrea?” Victor asked, still holding onto Andrea’s phone.“I….I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Andrea stuttered.“Don’t play that game with me, Andrea. I'm one hundred percent sure that you know exactly what I'm talking about. Where did you get the damned pill!” Victor was beginning to get pissed off.“Confronting her would bring harm to Gemma,” Andrea mumbled, looking down at her feet.“You don’t get to decide that,” Logan spoke this time.“What do you mean by that? Gemma is my best friend and I want the best for her. I’m protecting her from harm and that’s something you two wouldn’t understand. You just want to go out there and confront whoever is after Gemma’s life without thinking of the aftermath, without thinking about the effect it would have on Gemma. Seriously?” Andrea was fed up and pissed off at this point.“Don’t act like you care about her more than we do!” Victor was quick to challenge her.“I'm not acting, Victor. You and I know t

    “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

    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

    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

    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,

    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
