Gemma

I slowly opened my eyes and immediately regretted every extra shot of tequila I had taken the night before. I wasn't sure what woke me up first—the slight headache or the unfamiliar silence around me.

The first thing I noticed was that Julian wasn’t beside me.

For a brief moment, I simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling before memories from the previous night came rushing back all at once.

The club.

Tequila.

Julian dragging me out of the club.

My face immediately grew warm as I buried it

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   When Silence Says Enough

    Gemma It had been days since I last heard from Julian. At first, I kept telling myself that he probably needed time. After everything that had happened, maybe he was giving me the space I asked for. I was the one who told him to leave me alone, after all, and I even changed my apartment passwords because I didn’t want him coming back before I was ready. But as the days passed, the silence started to feel different. It no longer felt like space. It felt like an ending. I spent most of my time in my room, barely speaking to anyone. Gigi stayed with me as much as she could, sleeping over and making sure I ate something, took my medication, and didn’t spend the entire day locked away from the world. She tried not to mention Julian too much, but I could tell she had noticed his absence too. One afternoon, she sat beside me on the bed while I stared at my phone. “You haven’t heard from him?” she asked quietly. I shook my head. “Not even once?” “No.” Gigi looked at me before taki

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   The Past Comes Knocking

    Julian “Fuck! How many times do I have to tell you to fix it?” I paced across my office as the person on the other end continued explaining. “I don’t care how difficult it is. Just get it done.” The call ended, and I dropped the phone, running a hand over my face. Normally, I wouldn’t have lost my temper over something like that, but lately, even the smallest things were getting on my nerves. The fight with Gemma had left me distracted, impatient, and barely sleeping. For days, I tried everything I could think of, but every attempt ended the same way. My calls went straight to voicemail, my messages sat unread, and when I finally went to her penthouse, I discovered that she had changed the door passwords. I knocked. “Gemma, it’s me.” There was no response, so I knocked again, harder this time. “Gemma, please open the door. I need to talk to you.” Silence. I stood outside her door that evening for several hours, staring at the keypad, trying the old code agai

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   The Betrayal I Never Expected

    GemmaI ran.The secretary called my name, but I didn’t stop. I barely noticed the people moving around me or the curious looks following me as I hurried through the lobby, still trying to make sense of what I saw.The image kept replaying in my mind, no matter how hard I tried to push it away. I opened that door carrying lunch for him, thinking about how happy he would be to see me, looking forward to his reaction, to the smile he would give me, the simple pleasure of doing something thoughtful for the man who had made me believe that love could be different.I reached the entrance and stepped outside, breathing fast as sweat covered my forehead. The driver was waiting beside the car.“Ma’am, is everything…”“Give me the keys.”He stared at me. “Ma’am, Mr. Ferguson said…”“Give me the damn keys!”My voice came out louder than I intended, drawing the attention of two security men standing near the entrance.He quickly reached into his pocket and handed me the keys. I snatched them fro

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   The Moment Everything Changed

    Gemma“Ahhhhh! Did you agree?”I quickly pulled the phone away from my ear as Gigi’s excited scream filled the kitchen, making me laugh while I continued stirring the scrambled eggs on the stove.“Gigi, why are you shouting?” I asked, placing the phone back against my ear. “You sound like I just told you I won a million dollars.”“This is better than a million dollars,” she replied, sounding genuinely happy. “You’re moving in with Julian, Gemma. Did you actually say yes?”“Yes, I accepted.”Another excited scream came through the phone, I turned the eggs in the pan before lowering the heat. I had decided to make pancakes and scrambled eggs for myself and Julian that morning, especially since he had been taking such good care of me lately. I wanted to do something thoughtful for him, even if it was something as simple as preparing breakfast before he went to work.“Julian gave me solid reasons why I should move in with him,” I explained, reaching for the bowl of pancake batter. “He sai

    Gemma.Three days later, we were at the airport, standing close to Katia as she prepared to leave. The private jet was already on the tarmac.James was speaking with one of the men handling the flight while Julian stood a little farther away, making sure everything was in order. Katia had her passport and documents in her hand.I held her hand.“You’re really leaving.”She smiled, though her eyes were already beginning to shine. “I know. It still doesn’t feel real.”“You have everything you need. And you’ll have people waiting for you when you get there.”James walked over after finishing his conversation with the staff.“Everything is ready,” he told Katia. “The house has been prepared, and everything you asked for has been taken care of. There’s a car waiting for you, and someone will be there to help you settle in when you arrive.”“Thank you,” she said sincerely. “I don’t even know how to thank all of you.”“You don’t have to,” James replied. “Just get there safely.”Gigi stepped

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Nothing Left to Say

    Gemma.The drive was quiet. I looked out the window, my mind fixed on one thing. I needed to hear from Sam myself.When we arrived, I opened the car door and stepped out. Gigi followed me as we walked toward the house.Richard’s house.Martha, one of the oldest maids who had worked for us for years, stepped out into the hallway. Her eyes went wide when she saw me.“Mrs. Black—oh, sorry, Miss Gemma.” She fumbled, clearly caught off guard.“Where is Sam?”She hesitated, glancing toward the stairs. “He’s… the young master is upstairs. Let me go call him…”“Don’t worry about it,” I said, walking past her. “I’ll get him.”Before I could reach the stairs, I heard footsteps coming from upstairs.Richard came down first, wearing that smug, self-satisfied look he always had when he thought things were going his way. Angela followed right behind him, a grin on her face. And behind them was Sam.“Gemma, if you’re here about the…”“Did you know your father was cheating on me before I found out?”
