“Let’s get you to the meeting room first. We can deal with this prick later.” Derek took Gemma’s hand and led her out.“I’m sorry I didn’t help out real quick.” He pulled a shaky Gemma into his arms.Looking around, he could see the entire employees staring at them. Not wanting to give them the impression that their cooperative little act of wickedness on her had worked out, he led Gemma away from there and into the women’s bathroom.“This is just for women,” one of the foolish women in there tried to tell him.Looking at her face, he recognized her as one of the employees that had taken a step back and let Gemma get into the elevator alone. She was part of the sick plan and sick trick they played on Gemma.“Make sure you continue working for James and his mother your entire life. Because the moment you leave this company, no one will hire you…at least I’ll make sure of that,” his voice was so calm like the ocean before a storm but the intensity of his eyes made the lady shiver.“I’m s

Getting into the meeting room, Gemma found her way to her rightful seat, right next to her mother. As she got to the seat, Mr. Hughes took quick steps and approached her.“Let me,” he said, pulling out her seat for her.Gemma smiled and lowered herself on the seat.“Thank you,” she said.The man nodded and walked away to get to his own seat.Sylvia, who was watching the whole exchange, couldn’t stop herself from scoffing.“You do know you’re a married woman, right?” she randomly threw a question at Gemma.Gemma turned around to look at her.“Are you by any chance talking to me?” she asked, her hands were clenched under the table. Gemma was vibrating, wanting to tear her mum apart. She wanted to confront her concerning the elevator issue but managed to keep her cool.“Why fool around with one of the shareholders when you are married?”“Don’t lecture me. Save your strength for Elena and James,” Gemma rolled her eyes.Sylvia glared at her but Gemma flashed her a smile, much to her annoya

About a week agoGemma and Derek were seated in a restaurant. It was as if they were waiting for someone to arrive. Soon mr. Hughes walked over to them and took a seat right next to Gemma.“I’ll go straight to the point,” he said after they exchanged pleasantries. “I’ll raise the topic of dismissing Max at the meeting instead of just dismissing Sylvia,” he revealed.Gemma was stunned but then Derek didn’t seem surprised. It was as if he already knew or maybe expected it.“Why?” Gemma asked.“He doesn’t deserve the seat,” Hughes told her, leaving it at that.“I don’t think you intend for my wife to take that position do you?” Derek who has had a long experience in business could immediately see through the man’s plan.“About that. I intend to take over as the CEO while Gemma gets the position of the chairwoman and COO,” Hughes told them.At first, Gemma completely disagreed. She wasn’t going to pull out the company from the greedy clutches of her family, only to let it fall into the h

“The buyer will be in the room with you in a minute or so,” the man told them.At his words, the door was pushed open and the assumed buyer walked in.“I vote Mr. Hughes,” he smiled the moment his eyes met Gemma’s astonished ones.Derek was the buyer! Not just Mr. Grant’s shares of that of Mr. Hughes. His entire shares were 40% and he had leverage over every single person inside the room.“Derek?” Gemma rose from her seat, stunned. She stared at him, unable to say a word.“It's concluded then, Max, this is your last day as the company’s CEO. Congratulations Nathaniel Hughes,” the decision was finally reached.The shareholders and directors went over to congratulate Hughes. Max was furious. His anger was directed at Gemma. The foolish child that brought his dismissal.Sylvia was in shock, James was vibrating, Elena was boiling, Gemma was confused."You foolish child,” Max stormed over to Gemma.“I offered you shelter, trained you in school. I fucking did everything a father would do fo

“Congratulations on your new position, Mr. Hughes. Even though I’m annoyed you and my husband kept me out of most of the plan,” Gemma congratulated Mr. Hughes, rolling her eyes at the end.“Your husband wanted it to be kept from you,” the man lied, smiling at Gemma, who in turn sent a glare in a clueless Derek’s direction.“I thought we’ve settled things. Why are you glaring at me?” Derek quickly left the men that surrounded him and approached the duo.“When did I ever settle with you,” Gemma rolled her eyes at him.“But, Gemgem,” Derek tried to coo her.“It’s Gemma to you!” she yet again rolled her eyes at him.Deep down, Gemma was excited about the fact the company’s leadership has fallen out of her family’s hands. But then again, she was offended at the fact that Derek had asked Mr. Hughes to keep an important part of their plan hidden from her.“Oh, dear, I’m done for,” Derek muttered dramatically and trailed behind her, sulking like a kid.Elena stood at a corner, watching the exc

Despite Gemma’s refusal and struggle not to leave, Logan pulled her into the car and locked the door. The latter stared outside, only to see Derek selling out punches to Daniel’s face while Daniel let him beat him up without retaliating.“What the heck is going on?” Gemma had never been so confused. Watching Daniel get beaten up without retaliating bothered her so much. Daniel wasn’t that kind of person to keep cool like this. He was the type to fight even though he was in the losing end.“Something didn’t feel right,” she muttered.“I don’t think we should leave yet,” she pulled the moving vehicle’s handle.“Can you listen and stay silent!” Logan who couldn’t hold back lashed out on her.“The company is about to face so much damage and it will all be because of you. Derek is out there beating that bastard, despite knowing the damages it will bring the company and its because of you. He has always been one to think before he acts but since you came into his life, he seemed to have los

Gemma felt like crap. Her past trauma had made her instantly become defensive when Logan talked down on her. It was as if her brain, mind and soul were done with being looked down on and instantly made her become defensive at any possible threat. The truth was that she knew Logan had only spoken to her out of anger, she completely understood him. But deep down and much to her own surprise, she wasn’t a bit apologetic for talking back at him and throwing insults at him.“What the hell happened at your family company today?” Nora rushed over to her the moment she got into the living room, much to her surprise. As far as she could remember, today’s events were not recorded. Even if it was, it shouldn’t have been released this early, right?”“What do you mean?” Gemma asked.Nora took her hand and made her stand right in front of the television. There was a video of Derek viciously punching Daniel who looked so docile and didn’t retaliate. Then it dawned on her, Daniel approaching her, Dani

Turning around, Derek got into his car and drove back to the company. Since Emma couldn't be reached because she left her phone back home, he had no other option than to drive back to the company to find her. With the amount of press camped outside the Brauns Holdings, it was pretty obvious that she won't make it into the company.“Did you drive Gemma back to the company?” Derek phoned Logan.“No, I dropped her off at home and headed out…Is she not at home?” Logan reluctantly asked.“No, and she didn't take any car along. I think she took a taxi. Worse, her phone is at home,” Derek complained.“I'm heading over to the company right now,” he added. “Go and check the security camera back home, then inform me of your findings,” he instructed then hung up.Soon, he arrived at the Brauns company, it was already around 7pm and he was pretty sure everyone must have left. He looked up at the windows of the offices there and not even one had its light on. Even the reporters that were around the

Gemma was welcomed into the orphanage that night. The kids who knew her familiar face surrounded her. For a moment, she forgot about her current predicament and got lost in the joy the new environment brought.“You got married, Gemma. I saw it on the news!” One of the little kids said excitedly.Gemma was once again reminded of Derek. She became gloomy but tried her best to hide her sadness.“Yes, I'm married now,” she smiled down at the little girl.“Where is your husband, you didn't bring him!” the girl looked around as if she was searching for someone.“He is busy with work,” Gemma lied.“Let Gemma rest, you can talk and ask all your questions tomorrow,” the old lady in charge of the orphanage approached them.“You all should be in bed now, it's past 8pm.”At her words, the kids grumbled and got off Gemma’s body.“Call your husband and ask him to come. We want to see him!” one of the kids yelled.Others concurred. Gemma smiled, nodding at them, just so they could quickly hurry to b

Never in Derek’s entire life has he been as disorientated as he was right now.“Where the heck was Gemma? What did Logan say to her that made her leave so suddenly? Was he worth nothing to her for her to leave just like this?” For fuck’s sake, he has been trying, trying his possible best for Gemma to acknowledge him. Trying all he could to make her open up to him and now that he was excited that he was finally getting he has been working so hard for, she just disappeared to nowhere.Leaving the company, Derek found his way back home. Once he got home, he walked into the livingroom. His head was a mess, he looked so disorientated that he didn’t notice Samuel approaching him.“Young master,” the butler called out to him.“Not now, Samuel. I need to find my wife,” he mumbled.“If you really want to find her, then you should listen to me,” the butler insisted, making Derek halt his step.“Your wife used to frequent an orphanage home. I think it's more like a second home to her. If you wa
