CHAPTER 31
It all sounded like a joke until Gemma was informed that Noah would appear before the court the next day. It had already been a week since he turned himself in and none of the days had been easy on her. Her attempts at stalking Livian Dumont had failed miserably because she couldn't get any information of him for the last five years. She didn't even know where he was, much less how to track down what he had been doing. She wanted to get something on him so he couldn't blackmail her but the end result was him threatening her to stop prying into his personal life.
Easy for him to say, when he was the one who had been prying into her life. So, she had stopped prying and hoped he would not try to cause her any trouble. At least not until she was ready to face it. The following day, she prepared herself and decided to go to court to watch the arraignment. She would only be at ease after seeing him being taken to jail. "Gemma, are you going to cRelated chapters

Gemma's eyes flared. What did that punk just say? She heard gasps reverberate throughout the courtroom and knew that she was not the only one who was shocked by the ridiculous revelation. How could Noah be in love with her?To the other spectators, it was probably something they heard every other day despite it being shocking every time. Brothers falling in love with the same woman? What was new about that? It was more common than best friends finding out that they were being played by the same manipulative seductress. Especially when the three lived in the same house like Ethan, Noah and Gemma did.But to Gemma, it was just not possible. She knew Noah. He was a jerk and a manwhore despite not having any of the things she thought women looked for in men that they wanted to have a fling with. But he hated women who were above him in any way, especially status. She was his boss for a while which meant she was definitely not one of the people he would want to befr

Her hands wove into his hair and grabbed a fistful of it as his hand snuck into her dress. His fingers felt warm against the skin of her back as he gently caressed her. She gasped into the kiss as he traced down the small of her back. His touch sent shivers down her spine to her toes which curled from the waves of want. The muscles between her legs spasmed as she felt his erection that threatened to burst out through his pants. He tugged a strap of her bra and her hand flew to his chest, gently pushing him."Livian…" What was supposed to be a complaint came off as a moan. It took a while before he finally comprehended why she was pushing him. He let go of her and sat up, brushing a hand through his hair in a mixture of frustration, lust and confusion. He heaved for a while before reality registered itself."I'm sorry." He whispered."You shouldn't be." She glanced into his eyes and had to look away. He looked delicious when he gazed at h

"I'm sure we can work something out. Don't lose hope yet." Cora reached over the table and patted her hand. After dropping the worst bummer of the year, she had called Gemma out for ice cream and snacks so they would discuss and try to come up with a way to counter their current ordeal.Gemma blew out an exhausted breath. She was not losing hope. That was the last thing that could happen. She was losing her freaking mind! Just how horrible did her luck have to be?Cora glanced at her and didn't know what to make of her pale face. She didn't look angry about losing out on the deal that she thought was pretty much settled. She waved to get the waitress' attention and passed a menu to Gemma. "Come on, cheer up, will you? We need to clear our minds for anything to work.""This is Livian Dumont we are talking about." Gemma ran a hand through her hair in frustration. She caught the confusion on her friend's face."I was just about to say we are lucky

There had to be a limit to how blind one could get. It had been hours since Gemma saw Livian at the company and she was still unable to process it. There must be a wild coincidence linking up the two men.One was a model whose career was yet to take off while the other was a billionaire. Had been since they first met. Which brought her to the second difference. There was no way the son of a tycoon like Charles Dumont could be poor. It wouldn't make any sense, especially since Livian Dumont had always worked hard and had taken over the family business long before they met. He couldn't have lost it either, because the man he saw was obviously still the CEO of Dumont Group. She had checked his car at least a few hundred times and it was parked in the spot reserved for the company's CEO.Yet, rationality was screaming at her to see the truth for what it was. That man must be Livian. The differences could have been a lie the asshole came up with to screw with her.&n

"Do you think it's finally time to let me know what's going on?" He asked when she stopped her antics. He knew from the panic in her eyes that it had nothing to do with wanting to touch him. Though that didn't mean her touch didn't ignite fire under his skin. It was quite the opposite. Even though her touch meant nothing sexual, her act of impatiently ripping his shirt off sent a jolt straight to his manhood.She pulled her hands away, suddenly realizing what her actions might have passed off as. She was embarrassed as she shook her head.She was acting strange but he nodded. "Okay."She thought he had dropped the matter. He didn't have any scar but it was too soon to tell him anything about his doppelganger. The worst that could happen was him turning out to be that doppelganger, just with the scar long faded. She turned around and stared right into his eyes intently.He wasn't sure what she was looking for but he cupped her face as he looked d

Ten years ago.“Tell me about your past.” Livian said as he settled to sit next to Gemma. The soap opera she had always been hooked onto had just ended and the credits were rolling.She glanced up at him.“Sir,why would you ask about that?” She asked. Although she and her boss were close and talked about all sorts of random things, they had never talked about her past.He smiled down at her. “It’s nothing to be shocked about, is it? You know many things about me,including the name of my teenage crush and my experience with her.”She covered her mouth to stifle a chuckle. “Were you really serious about that? I thought you were joking.”“I wasn’t.” He looked more amused than she was. She had to give it to him. Who would have thought that he had really fallen in love with his middle school teacher? She had thought that he was merely saying that to make her feel better about the f

“Shit!” Livian cursed and almost threw his phone away in frustration. It had taken a while before he realized that the text message he had replied to had been sent to Livian Dumont but on Livian White’s phone. He had wanted to stop himself from sending the reply he had just typed but perhaps his mind was already set on sending it, his finger reflexively tapping the send icon. His first reaction was to delete the message.The ‘message delivered’ notification came just a breath before the ‘message delivered’. Just great. It was too late and there was nothing he could do about it. For a moment, he hoped that Gemma was too busy to see the text message and would not see it until their meeting later. He had decided to come clean today but this was not the best way for her to find out. The hope that had started to form in his heart shattered as soon as he saw the ‘message read’ prompt. He was dead.He rushed to the

"I'm glad you came." His voice was almost a whisper when he spoke.She glared daggers at him and sat opposite him. If she could, she would have remained standing but heaven knew what the man before her was planning. He might just refuse to collaborate with her if she pushed him too hard."Let's forget all about our personal matters for a while and discuss business, shall we?" He suggested."Fair enough." She was slightly relieved. If they were setting their personal matters aside, then he was not going to let what happened a decade ago determine his decision to sell the shares to her.She couldn't entirely trust him so she didn't allow herself to be too hopeful about it, letting her mind think of ways to counter him in case he acted up. She wouldn't put it past him."Scratch that. We cannot completely get rid of our personal matters when discussing this." He said, barely a heartbeat after making the damned suggestion. She rolled her eyes.
