“You have to leave, Gemma. I can't let you deal with my family while I'm this unstable. Please, baby…” Derek said aloud.His words hurt Gemma, she was hurt so badly that she couldn't suppress her tears.“I'm your wife, Derek. You're hurting. I'm supposed to be right next to you,” she insisted.“You can't deal with those people in there…”“I'm here for you, not for them!” Gemma was now more upset than worried.“You don't know them, Gemma. They'll prey on you. I'm not in the right frame of kind to defend…”“Just say you don't want me next to you,” Gemma cut him off.“Gemma, I….” Derek tried to talk but was cut off by Gemma.“You're hurting, I get it. But pushing me away won't make you hurt less… since you want me gone so badly, I'll leave…” she shrugged and turned around to walk away.“Go with her, Logan,” she heard Derek say and then she scoffed.“Why the heck should he go with me? Do I look like a baby to you? Do I look like I need protection!” Gemma slammed, turning around and glaring

Gemma found her way back to the mansion, walking at first but then breaking into a run, while blaming herself for being silly and leaving just because Derek told her to. How she failed to see the hurt in his eyes, made her so mad. How could Andrea see how hurt he was, whereas she, Derek's wife, didn't see it. Getting to the front of the mansion, Derek and Logan were no longer in sight. They seemed to have gone into the house. Squeezing her way through the tiny space in between the spaces where multiple cars were parked, Gemma finally got to the mansion's entrance.“Who are you here for?” An unfamiliar guy asked the moment she tried to walk in.Gemma paused, looking at the stranger, he had a glass of wine on his hands and from his facial features, Gemma figured he might be related to Anna, as he looks a lot like her.“I live here,” Gemma mumbled, and tried walking in. But the guy won't let her pass.“This entrance is meant for family members, not maids. Go through the back door,” the g

Gemma stood, facing Derek’s father, multiple wheels turning in her head as she processed the weight of the situation. She had just gotten to know that Derek's family was full of power-hungry individuals, but their insensitivity was more stupid than ever. This wasn’t just about money anymore—this was about Derek’s peace of mind, and she wasn’t about to let them walk all over him.“No,” Gemma said firmly, her voice steady. “Derek needs rest. I won’t let anyone disturb him. I'm taking charge of whatever responsibilities he has!” she declared.Derek’s father raised an eyebrow, his face hardening. “You’re just his wife, a mere outsider in this family. You don’t get to tell us what to do.”Gemma squared her shoulders. “I am his wife, which means I have every right to speak for him when he cannot. And right now, my husband is mourning his mother’s death, not entertaining greedy relatives.”Murmurs echoed through the room, but Gemma held her ground. She could feel their gazes burning into h

Andrea stood in her office, pacing nervously. Soon, her phone buzzed in her hand. She looked down at it and bit her lips, almost tasting blood.She took a deep breath before dialing the number she had saved under no name. As the line rang, her heart raced. The blackmailer had made his demands clear, but she still wasn't assured he'd leave Gemma alone. Even after she met his demand.The phone clicked, and a cold, detached voice greeted her."Did she take the bait?"Andrea swallowed hard, her fingers trembling as she gripped the phone. "She’s going to take a break. She’s focusing on her husband now, just like you wanted…..You have a week, maybe more to carry out whatever plan you have,” she took a deep breath.“But I’m warning you…" Her voice trembled and she tried so hard to remain still. "Don’t harm Gemma. I’ll do whatever you want, but she doesn’t deserve this. She has been through a lot, just leave her alone after this,” she pleaded.There was a pause on the other end of the line

Gemma didn't want to spend too much time at the office. Even though she listened to Derek and left like he asked her to, she still couldn't stay without worrying about how he was faring.“Maybe Andrea was right, I should have just stayed back home,” she mumbled, rising from her seat.She was done here. The company seemed dead, since she told Nathaniel she was taking back her product and wasn't going to let it get launched here. Since no launch was forthcoming, work was slow and she knew Nathaniel and the executives must be working on coming up with an alternative plan. Picking up a few files from the table and shoving them into her handbag, Gemma found her way out of her office and headed for the parking lot.“You're needed in the meeting room,” James suddenly approached her.“Oh, you've turned into an errand boy?” Even though she wasn't in the mood for trouble, Gemma couldn't let go of a chance to talk down on James. Sylvia might have fueled him to hate her, but that doesn't make hi

According to him, Ricardo Brown was scared of him and wouldn't make an attempt to take Elena while he was here.All this meant nothing to Sylvia, all she wanted was to go find Gemma and hopefully bond with her while discussing Elena's misery.

They are causing a scene outside the hospital,” one of Max's men rushed in and broke the news.Sylvia could only sigh. It wasn't s

Now she was seated in this vehicle alone. She finally realized how much help he has been and all he has done for her.

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

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
