Chapter 71Gemma ended up chasing Derek out of the bathroom that morning. The dude couldn't keep his hands to himself. Heck, they ended up having two rounds of love making right there in the bathroom when she was running out of time.“Can you tell Nora to tell Andrea to get ready. She is coming to the company with me,” she told Derek who was all over her even as she dressed up for work.“Is this your way of chasing me away from you,” he grumbled.“Yes,” Gemma stood at akimbo.“Now, go get Nora. And stop acting like a baby,” she rolled her eyes at him.Derek laughed.“Yes, ma'am. This big baby of yours is at your service,” he winked at her, then left the room.By the time he got back, Gemma was already dressed and ready to go. He picked up her handbag and led her out of the room.“Now you're acting like my errand boy,” Gemma laughed at his sillinessDerek didn't utter a word and blew her a kiss.Once they got downstairs, they met a dressed up Andrea and a surprisingly dressed up Nora.

“Wait, what?” Gemma was in shock. “Your precious daughter isn't yours?” Her eyes were wide. “She isn't, Gemma. You're my daughter, not her. I'm your birth mother, Gemma.” Gemma stared at her wondering if she had lost her mind. Then Nathaniel spoke. “I'm your father, Gemma,” Nathaniel announced. Gemma stared at the duo before her, wondering if they had drunk any substance that morning. “You two should get your brains checked,” she shook her head. Sylvia and Hughes exchanged confused looks. “I thought you said Derek found out?” Sylvia asked. “Yes. I left obvious hints for his private investigator. Did she miss them?” Gemma rolled her eyes at what she considered a lame attempt from the couple to instigate her against Derek. “Nice try you two,” she got up and headed for the door. “I have no reason to lie about being your father, Gemma. Max has never treated you like a father, has he?” “Sylvia has never treated me like a mother too,” Gemma clapped back. “She has but you never

“What the fuck!” Derek exclaimed. “You see, after my family got new faces. I still didn't think we were safe. We couldn't be together just in case someone got suspicious. For that reason, I reached out to my dad. He was your family’s butler. It has been his job all my life and he never thinks of leaving due to his close relationship with your grandfather. So, when I reached out to him. He made me keep my son, Logan in an orphanage home promising to bring him into your family somehow. My wife, who wanted to help out the family in any way she could volunteered to get married to Max and stay close to him. She took Gemma with her and acted like a single mum who had been out the the country. She was able to do this wothout getting caught because Max didn't know my pilot’s face…..” “You see, I fired my previous pilot barely a week before the incident because I found out he was selling information about my family and I to Max…..So, after every single person left, I was alone and took on

“You know what, I think I'm tired of this marriage. I'd like to rest…” Gemma walked away, leaving Derek standing and staring at her retreating figure.To Gemma, every single thing she had heard inside that office meant nothing to her. She has always hated her family, hated every single person. Sylvia inclusive and that wasn't going to change anytime soon. If Sylvia thought she could just come onto her with Hughes, thinking that she still trusted Hughes and would listen to him after he pulled those two stunts on her, then Sylvia must be a joker.Her heels made clicking sounds as they aggressively made contact with the floor. She was out of here and the next time she returns would be to kick Hughes off that position. For Nora, she would give out a quiet warning to her to get off the COO seat. She didn't understand why Nora would leave her brother's company where she would be treated with a lot more respect than here. She didn't understand why Nora, who has never been interested in workin

“You killed your sister! Someone call the police!” “What a classic day,” Gemma rolled her eyes, approaching Elena.“You killed her!” one of Elena’s minion inside the office she fell into was quick to accuse Gemma.“I'm calling the police,” she threatened.“Chill, she is still breathing,” Gemma mumbled.Why the heck did she even leave home today. She could have just stayed back, had a rest and avoided all of this. The worst part was that she didn't even do the photo shoot that brought her here.“You've always hated her. You've always tried to make everyone hate her. Now that you've seen that we'll always be on her side, you resort to physically harming her!” The young lady accused.“If you keep running your mouth without calling 911, she’d really die,” Gemma rolled her eyes.Physically hurting Elena was the last thing she wanted to do. Yes, seeing Elena in pain brings her joy. But that shouldn't be physical pain. She wasn't that kind of person. She knew she could enjoy breaking Elena’s

“We’ve extracted the glasses….The patient has gone into a coma…” The doctor announced.Gemma was stunned, she took a few steps back in shock and ended up hitting her back against the wall. Guilt filled her heart. “I'm not this kind of person, I shouldn't have pushed Elena. Why did I even let myself lose control,” she let her tears stream down her face.The day had started nicely and she had hoped it would end on the same note. Never did she imagine she would be here. Never did she imagine that she would be the reason someone goes into a coma.“Doesn't most coma patients die?” She muttered out loud.By this time, the doctor had walked away after telling them that Elena will soon be rolled out of the operation theater. “Then so be it. She deserves it,” Sylvia spoke.Gemma’s eyes went in her direction.“If you think I'll come running to you with open arms after that utterance, then you must be out of your mind. I would never accept a monster as my mother,” Gemma glared at her.“Call me

“I guess there are still sides of you I'm yet to explore… Let's get home first,” Derek said.Before he headed to the exit, he turned around to look at the couple staring at him.“Don't think you have my backing simply because I made my wife listen to you. I stand with whatever she says. If she doesn't want to have any ties with you, then I'll advise you to refrain from reaching out to either of us.”He walked away, with Gemma still on his shoulder.“Put me down, Derek!” she slammed her hands on his back.“I will,” he mumbled.“Put me the fuck down!” Gemma was now infuriated.Derek still bother saying a words to her. He had her in his shoulders till he got to his car and threw her inside.He got in through the other side and soon drove off.“Ho could you! You keep giving me reasons to doubt you,” Gemma couldn't keep calm.“I won't say anything till we get home, Gemma,” Derek muttered.The last thing he wanted was to get into an argument with his wife while driving. Her life was importa

James wasn't pleased with the turn out of events. Every single thing he had orchestrated with his father was failing. Nothing was working in their favour and he starting to get pissed off by it all.Even if his father were to leave the company he never expected it to be taken from just an outsider, an ordinary shareholder at that and it was all because of Gemma. Things got fucked up because of her.“I wonder how you're still eating,” he muttered, glaring at the figure sitting right across him.“I need food to survive,” Max shrugged.“Things aren't looking too good for us ans you're here, preaching about food? We just lost our family company! And all you care about is food?” James was so pissed that if Max was within his reach he could slap him.“I need food to function, James….”“What if things go south while you're busy eating? What if things don't go our way!” “Not like the favour is on our side right now,” James lamented.Max chuckled.“You're still a kid James. If things goes sou

Derek pulled into the driveway, the engine’s rumble fading into silence. The weight of their argument, still hanging heavily in the air. He turned off the car, his gaze lingering on Gemma’s tense profile before he got out and walked around to her side. Gemma's arms were crossed and her face held different emotions, barely acknowledging him. She got out before he could get the door and slammed it shut.The house was quiet as they entered. Derek kept his distance, sensing that the calm before the storm was about to break. Gemma, her frustration barely contained, stormed up the stairs. Her footsteps echoed loudly in the otherwise still house. It was as if Samuel and the others knew Gemma's mood would be pretty messed up and stayed away. Derek followed her up the stairs, his mind racing with worry and regret. He watched as Gemma hurried down the hallway and pushed open their bedroom door with a force that made it slam against the wall. The door bounced back slightly but remained open, an

Derek sat outside the door, his heart heavy with regret. Each minute stretched on, his mind racing with thoughts of how to mend his relationship with his wife. He replayed their earlier argument in his head and then realized he was in the wrong. If he was in Gemma’s shoes he would also have the same reaction or even worse. Keeping things about her life from her didn't speak good of him and he knew that. He cared for Gemma deeply, and was willing to set things right again, only if she would agree to open the door. Sighing, he stood up, driven by an impulse to reach out to her. Taking a deep breath, he knocked gently on their bedroom door. “Gemma?” he called softly. “Can we talk, please?” Gemma didn't say a word, but he refused to give up. “I know you need space, but I think we need to communicate. Please, just a few minutes?” He earnestly begged. The door remained shut, and his heart sank again. He paced the hallway, his mind in a turmoil. He wouldn't be able to sleep this nigh
