“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

But she won't talk to me. She specifically told me she wants to have nothing to do with me. When all I want is to connect with her. We're siblings, Derek. We've been apart for so long. When I heard she was my sister, I was prepared to push our differences aside and patch things up, but her, she….”“Have you ever stopped to consider how Gemma must be feeling?”“I do consider her feelings, Derek…”“You don't, believe me when I say that…You all just shoved the news on her face and then, boom

As far as she knows, Max moved around with security only when his life was being threatened.“Was anyone after his life?” She couldn't help but wonder.“Wait, did he find out about who Hughes really is? Oh, lord, it was meant to be a secret. We haven't achieved anything. If he found out this way, he would really do something to ruin us again!” Sylvia was visibly shaken.She has lived with Max for years and knows exactly how vicious the man can be.

“What do you want, Andrea?” Gemma asked.Andrea sighed and took a step closer to her.“I want your peace, Gemma…”Gemma was taken aback. This was by no means what she was expecting to hear.“My peace?” She asked.“Yes. I've known you since I've been able to tell right apart from wrong, Gemma. The person I'm seeing right now is not the Gemma I've known all my life. It just feels like someone took over you…You…you are suddenly ruthless and scary, Gemma. It scares me…”“Andrea…” Gemma tried to talk but was cut off.“Did you see that look you gave me when I told you I needed something from you? It was as if you felt like I was about to exploit you. You were never like this before, Gemma…You've changed too much,” Andrea complained, taking Gemma's hand into hers.Gemma could not deny that everything she said was true, so she sighed and bowed her head.“Change is constant in humans,” she finally mumbled.“Yes, it is. But you're scaring and pushing me away. I don't even know if we're still fri

“What did you get?” Gemma asked, finally letting go of Derek.“Tasty food,” Derek said, wiggling his eyebrows.“Derek!” Gemma called out, wondering if Derek's brain was getting damaged.“Yes, baby. Don't worry, I brought enough to fill your mouth,” Derek said, looking at her and flashing her an innocent smile.At his words, Gemma quickly stepped aside.“I don't know who you are. You're on your own,” she shook her head.“You'll still get into my car with me,” Derek winked at her.“What is wrong with you?” Gemma was blushing and laughing.“You, sweetheart,” Derek once again flirted.“Oh, boy,” Gemma's face was nearly overheating from all the blushing.“I brought a car with a tinted glass. You must be so proud of me,” Derek laughed the moment they got to his car.“That's it, Derek. I'm eating in my office!” Gemma announced.“What? I brought the car with tinted windows so you can have privacy while eating…”Gemma gave him a suspicious look.“You still need purification, don't you? Your min

“Are you sure you want to stay here?” Derek asked for the hundredth time.“I've been staying here since I started working here, Derek. What are you so worried about?” Gemma glared at him.“This place is creepy,” Derek complained.Gemma's office was isolated from other offices. It wasn't part of any department or anything. It rather seemed like an abandoned storage room.“Back in the day, it was nothing like this, Derek. It was worse and creepier but I stayed in it. What makes you think I can't stay here, now that it's even better looking?” Gemma raised a brow at him.“I'm just saying…”“Or you don't want to help lift that cupboard,” Gemma gave Derek a side glance.“Hold on, are you afraid of roaches?” She laughed.“Are there roaches here?” Derek's eyes were wild as twin bulbs.“Oh, look at this. Atlanta's most eligible man is afraid of roaches,” Gemma laughed.“I'm not afraid of them,” Derek defended himself.“Oh, really,” Gemma was hearing none of it.“I've never seen or had to deal w

“You can't be serious! I'm your damned father, young lady!” Hughes exclaimed.“And I'm your abandoned daughter, old man,” Gemma deadpanned, turning around to leave the office.“Every single thing I did was for you, you dumb child!” Nathaniel yelled, walking around the table and rushing over to Gemma.Gemma paused on hearing his words and turned around.“You mean for your selfish interest?” She raised a brow.“You think I went into hiding for years just for this? You think I went into hiding just to be treated like this by my child?” Nathaniel was furious.“I'm not your child. And you going into hiding has nothing to do with me. It was for your own selfish interest. Congratulations, you've gotten back your position. Enjoy it while it lasts…” Saying this, she turned around and headed straight for the door.“I birthed you Gemma and I won't let you walk over me!” Nathaniel growled at her.Gemma didn't bother turning around and simply pushed the door open, just before she walked out the off
