Dear Husband, I Came Back To Deal With You 001
Walking into the company that day, Gemma could see a lot of prying eyes of employees on her, like every other day. She wasn't surprised as this has been how she lived all her life. Her mother was the chairwoman of the company, her father, the CEO and it was a known fact to everyone that soon, her elder brother James would take over. She has a younger sister who was a supermodel and has been the model for every single one of the company’s products over the years. While she, on the other hand, was the unsuccessful daughter of the family with no stable position in the company. She knew the stares she was receiving wasn't one of admiration, but ridicule. “I wish I could live a jobless life like her without bothering about having a roof over my head, but sadly I don't have rich parents to spend on me,” she heard one of the employees say. It was an obvious attempt to shame her. She could only scoff. What everyone thinks of her, didn't bother her, knowing she has her supportive, rich and

“I only married her to be close to you, since you ain’t ready for marriage. I have no feelings for her.” These were Daniel’s words.Gemma’s eyes flew open at this words, she rose from the floor, her eyes never leaving Daniel’sHas their two years of marriage been a joke to him, the times he professed his unconditional love for her, when he proposed to her, the steamy nights they spent together, have they all been a joke to him?“Daniel, what are you saying?” She stuttered“It's exactly as you heard it. I've never loved you and I would never see myself loving you. Elena holds my heart. You're just a pawn I used to get close to her. I want to spend every single night and day with her. Since she didn't want to get married, I married you to stay right next to her. Now that she is ready to marry me, we should get a divorce,” he shrugged.“We’ve been together for two whole years and now you just want me to believe this?” Gemma asked.“Believe it or not, that's on you. Why do you think I ins

“What are you still doing in bed, Gemma. Have you forgotten today is your wedding day?” Elena’s loud voice woke Gemma from her sleep.She opened her eyes to find herself in her room.“I'm supposed to be at the hospital, I'm supposed to be dead,” she could only mumble and look around her, unable to understand what was going on.“I wonder if the fact that you're getting married to Daniel has altered your brain chemistry, sister,” Elena stared at her, not making any attempt to hide her irritation.Gemma reached for the mirror on her desk and stared at her reflection. “This wasn't the hairstyle I had on yesterday,” she noted.Unless her hairstyle had been changed in her sleep, but by who?The more she stared at herself, she realized she had seen that hair style before, it was from two years ago, when she had long hair, before her mum made her cut it to match Elena's who didn't like the fact that Gemma’s hair was longer than hers.“Mother wants you downstairs in five minutes. The stylist

Taking a bold step with her heart pounding, Gemma walked towards Derek who sat with an amused smile etched on his face.“What if he doesn't act along?” she thought, and really hoped he might take pity and not humiliate her.Gemma knew she had just stabbed her own foot by doing this. Derek was known to be rude and arrogant. In the past, he didn't show up at her wedding even after her mum tried all she could to make him come. But seeing him right here, she wondered what might have made him honour the invitation.Once she got to where Derek sat, she lowered her lips to his ears.“Act along, please,” she whispered.Derek could only smile.“You'll grant me a request then,” he whispered back to her.Gemma nodded.“How hard can the request be?” She thought.“He was Atlanta’s most eligible bachelor so he definitely has everything at his disposal.”She took his hand, making him rise from his seat.Elena almost choked to death at the sight before her.“Who the heck does Gemma think she is to h

“Marry me.”“Excuse me?” Gemma gazed at him like he had just made the biggest joke of the year, then giggled.“I'll be off then, Mr. Fegurson, since you really don't have any request to ask.”Derek gazed at the woman before him, wondering what she was giggling about when he meant every single word he just uttered.“Do I look like I’m joking?” He asked, not letting go of her arm. Gemma paused for a moment, looking at him. “This man doesn't seem to be joking," she muttered “Well, I'm thankful for how you played along in there, but that doesn't mean I will marry you just because I agreed to grant you one request…”“You did agree to grant me a request and this is it,” he cut her off.“People meet, fall in love, and date before they get married, Mr. Fegurson. I don't even know anything about you.”“Yeah, you met, fell in love, and dated the guy you just turned down at the altar too, right?” Derek asked, his intelligent orbs stared at the woman before him.“I…I…don't even know past your

It was never in Derek’s plan to grace the wedding invitation today, as a matter of fact, the invite came to him weeks ago but he never bothered to give it a second look. Instead he requested for it to be disposed of just like every other wedding invitation he had gotten in the past.Being Atlanta’s most eligible bachelor and number one billionaire, invitations are sent to him on a regular basis and never had he graced any one of them that didn't bring a growth in his business, just like the marriage invitation.“The wedding invitation you got from the Brauns is today,” his assistant walked in with a wedding invitation in his hand.“I thought I asked you to dispose that…”“You did, but I feel you might be interested in the eldest Miss Braun, she can be a wonderful addition to the company’s staff,” Logan proposed.“Why do you think she’ll agree to leave her family company for ours?” Derek asked, interested.“I don't think she is happy with the family. I've been watching her for a while.

The newly wedded couple walked into the enormous living room hand in hand. Deep down, Gemma was a bit nervous but then she consoled herself with the fact that whatever she sees here wouldn't be worse than what she had already seen at home. Strangers mistreating her was far more understandable than it being done by the people she shares blood with.“Son, you're home,” A feminine voice sounded right behind them.Turning around, Gemma knew exactly who she was. Anna Ferguson, Derek's mum. She had gone through the little intel Derek had given her back in the car.“Don't raise your voice at her, don't talk back at her or she’ll become agitated. She likes being in charge,” she reminded herself.She watched the woman pause and gaze at her.“Who is she? Why is she wearing a wedding dress? And most especially why is she clinging onto you like that?” “One question at a time, mum. I'm sure you don't want to scare your daughter in law away,” Derek smiled.“What!” Her voice echoed.Gemma could alr

Gemma couldn't tell who was more shameless between the lady before her and her sister back home. Walking towards the bed and watching her stupid moves, Gemma named her “ Elena of the Ferguson family” only that she wasn't going to let this person ruin her life like her sister did.Getting to the bed, she stood watching Rachel twist her body, lift her ass and slide from one side of the bed to another.Gemma wondered the perfect way to deal with the lady before her.“Don't just stand there, baby. Come have a taste,” Rachel spoke yet again, much to Gemma’s annoyance. She looked down at the bottle in her hands and could only smile.“Seems like I found my first ally,” her gaze softened.“I should make her proud,” she told herself and got onto the bed.“Yes, baby, that's it…turn me around, I'll go down on all fours, fuck me till I loose my senses,” An unsuspecting Rachel moaned. She had noticed how Derek seemed annoyed with her earlier, so this was her way of getting his mind off whatever

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

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

“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

“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.Pushing the door open and heading down the stai

“I'll never marry a wife with a traumatic childhood,” Logan mumbled. Derek simply forced out a chuckle at their words. All he wanted to do at that moment was hold Gemma and tell her to wipe her tears. But he knew he couldn't afford to do that. If he does, in the future Gemma might exclude him from an important decision again and who knows, it might even be more severe than this. Turning to Logan, Derek hit his head slightly. “I came here to have some alone time but you two ruined it…” “You're welcome, Derek. I know that's your way of saying thank you to us for keeping g you company,” Victor spoke. Logan chanted in support of him, making Derek shake his head. “About the threat on Gemma's life?” Derek who couldn't stop worrying about Gemma raised the subject again. Logan glanced at Victor and then looked back at Derek, indirectly asking if it was okay to talk in Victor's presence. Victor scoffed. “I'm not leaving!” “Go ahead,” Derek mumbled, knowing how stubborn Victor was. T

“Will you be going back to guest room tonight?” Derek asked, walking away from Gemma. Looking at him, Gemma couldn't stop her tears from falling. His utterance made her realize how much this man loves her. Her insecurity had gotten the best of her. Being betrayed by the people close to her heart at the least expected time, had made her heart really guarded unknowingly and now it messed her up. It messed up her only true relationship. “Derek, I….I want to sleep here tonight, with you,” she mumbled. “That's settles it then, I'll be sleeping in the guestroom,” Derek said like he didn't hear what she just said. “I…I was insecure and afraid, I'm sorry, Derek,” Gemma cried, rising to her feet and walking over to where he stood, staring into nothingness. “Your apology means nothing to me, Gemma. You're only doing all these because I found out about your vile plan, if I never found out, you wold have gone ahead with it and still keep it hidden to yourself. Just keep your pretentious apolo

Earlier, Derek was summoned because of the products, right in the middle of his arguement with some of his board members and a few from the Braun's Company, he got a phone call, it was from Victor and Victor had informed him of Gemma's presence at her family company. At first, he had told Victor to just take her home when she was done, having known his workaholic wife, he knew she was probably missing doing her work. But then Victor mentioned how Esther had suddenly alerted him and suspected something was off. Coupled with the fact that he knew that Gemma hated the sight of Nathaniel, but then, she seemed in a haste to go meet him earlier, like she had some sort of business with him. Having known Victor for long, Derek knew how calculating and observant he was. If he said something seems off, that means something was definitely off. Instantly he excused himself and drove directly to find Gemma. Never did he expect that he was rushing to get his heart shattered and trampled upon. “Gem

“It's not what you think,” Gemma stuttered upon laying eyes on the figure at the door. “Gemma, tell me I heard wrong!” Gemma looked down at her fingers on her thighs, her hands trembling, her knees weakened and before she could hold back, she slumped into the seat she had initially rejected. “What are you doing in my office?” Nathaniel fumed. “Gemma tell me I heard wrong,” the figure at the door said, shock and denial evident in his face. “Derek, I'm…I'm sorry. Whatever you heard is true,” Gemma stuttered. At her words, Derek stumbled backwards, but was held in place by an equally shocked Victor. “You…you wanted to get rid of our baby without informing me?” Derek asked, still in complete denial. “I'm sorry, Derek. I never wanted you to find out this way,” Gemma bowed her head. “No, Gemma. You never wanted me to find out at all! If I wasn't informed of your presence here today, I wouldn't have known and you would have gone ahead to get rid of our baby outside of my knowledge. T

"So, why do you suddenly want to visit your family company? I thought you took days off. You're supposed to go back to work on Monday, which is tomorrow, not today?” A curious Victor asked as he drove down the road. “It's personal,” Gemma mumbled, looking out the window. A clear indication for Victor not to ask again. Respecting her wish, Victor focused on driving and not once did he utter another word to her. “We're here,” he announced, pulling into the company's parking lot. “You'll have to wait for me here, I'll join you soon,” Gemma said the moment the car came to a halt. “Sorry, but I'm coming with you,” Victor shrugged, having heard what Logan said about the threats on Gemma and the possibility that the perpetrator might actually be in this very building, didn't put him at ease. He wasn't going to let himself be a scapegoat for Derek's anger. “Victor, I…” Gemma tried to dissuade him, but, Victor cut her off. “It's either we go in together or we go back home together. The
