Gemma

I woke up to the smell of pancakes.

The rich buttery aroma drifted through the cabin, wrapped in hints of vanilla and maple that curled lazily through the cold morning air.

The scent hit me again.

Pancakes. Fresh coffee. Bacon.

My stomach betrayed me with a growl.

I ran my fingers through my messy hair and stepped out of the room in the oversized shirt I had slept in, following the delicious scent down the hallway.

I walked into the kitchen and stopped dead in my tracks.

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Wild After Midnight

    Gemma“If you don’t open this door in the next thirty seconds, I’m calling the security and telling them my best friend has been kidnapped.”I glanced at my phone before looking at the front door of my penthouse.“You have exactly twenty-two seconds left, Gemma!”I sighed before making my way toward the door. To find Gigi standing in the hallway in six-inch heels, a tiny black dress, and enough attitude to intimidate people in the building. She brushed past me like she owned the place.“Good evening to you too,” I said dryly. But she ignored me “So no greeting? No hug?” I asked as I shut the door behind her.“No. We’re skipping the pleasantries tonight. Go get dressed. We’re going clubbing.”“Excuse me?” I blinked, “But I told you over the phone I'm not interested.”“We’re going clubbing.”I laughed immediately. “No.”“Yes.”“No.”“Yes.”“Gigi, I’m thirty-five.”“And gorgeous. What’s your point?”“My point is that people my age don’t go clubbing.”She slowly turned to look at me as th

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Nothing serious.

    Julian“Cancel the deal.”The conference room fell silent.The vice president sitting across from me froze. It had taken his team three months to secure the acquisition, and I had just dismissed it in two words.“Sir?” he asked cautiously.“I don’t believe I stuttered.”“No, sir. It’s just that…”“Then there shouldn’t be a problem.”Working for Ferguson Holdings had its advantages. The salaries were generous, the bonuses impressive, and career advancement was almost guaranteed. The downside was simple—I had very little patience for incompetence.No one ever complained about my decisions. At least, not twice.I signed the document Andrew handed me before standing on my feet. “Reschedule the Tokyo meeting for next week. I will review the London proposal tonight. Anything else?”“No sir.”“Good.”The executives around the table quietly released the breaths they had been holding as I walked out of the conference room.Andrew, my executive assistant followed closely behind me as we made ou

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   A Better Evening Than Expected

    GemmaFor a moment, no one spoke.I was beginning to wonder if I had somehow misheard what the manager had just said.Mr. Richard Black, you have been permanently blacklisted from our restaurant and will not be served this evening.That certainly wasn’t how I expected tonight to end.“What?” Angela was the first to recover from her shock.“There has to be some kind of joke,” Richard said immediately, his face darkening. “Do you have any idea who you’re speaking to?”“Perfectly, sir,” the manager replied politely. “That is why we have confirmed your identity before approaching you.”“This is ridiculous!” Angela snapped. “My fiancé is a vip member here, you cannot simply blacklist him without explanation.”“I’m afraid I can neither disclose the reason nor discuss this matter any further,” the manager said professionally. “I must ask both of you to leave the premises immediately.”Richard laughed in disbelief.“You must be out of your mind. Call your owner. Right now.”“I’m afraid that w

    Gemma “You’ve been avoiding your hospital appointments, Gemma.”Well, that certainly wasn’t the welcome I was expecting.I looked up at Dr. Harris and pretended to consider his accusation for a moment before taking my seat across from him.“Avoiding is such a strong word,” I said. “I’ve simply been busy.”He raised an eyebrow at me. “Three cancelled appointments isn’t busy.”“Fine,” I sighed. “I’ve been selectively busy.”That earned me a look that said he wasn’t amused by my attempt at humor.Dr. Harris had been my doctor long enough to know when I was trying to joke my way out of uncomfortable conversations. Unfortunately for me, he was also smart enough not to let me get away with it.He opened my medical file and adjusted his glasses before looking back at me.“Gemma, your treatment cannot be delayed forever.”There it was.I leaned back in my chair and sighed again. “I know.”“No, I don’t think you do,” he shook his head slightly. “You’ve been putting this off for weeks.”I didn

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Starting Over

    Gemma“When was the last time you did something simply because you wanted to?” Gigi asked.“What do you mean?”“For yourself, Gemma. Not because someone needed you to. Not because it was expected of you. Just because it made you happy.”I frowned as I tried to think of an answer. Surprisingly, I didn’t have to think for long.“I would cook.”The answer came so naturally that it caught both of us by surprise.“There she is,” Gigi smiled softly. “I’ve been waiting for her to show up.”Gigi stayed with me for the rest of the day. She talked when I did not feel like talking, ordered dessert I did not ask for, and somehow managed to make my penthouse feel a little less empty.She never once asked me to explain how I was feeling or pressured me to pretend I was okay. She simply sat beside me and kept me company, and her presence alone was enough.The next morning, I found myself driving aimlessly through the city until I parked in front of a grocery store.Maybe I was hungry.Or maybe, for

  • My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.   Suspended

    Gemma“I’m sorry, Miss Gemma.”Those were the first words Jonathan Reed, my manager, said after asking me to sit down.“The board has decided to place you on indefinite suspension until this matter is fully resolved.”“Was I ever going to be allowed to explain myself?” I asked quietly.My question seemed to catch him off guard. He sighed and leaned back in his chair, suddenly finding the documents in front of him more interesting than looking me in the eye.“Miss Gemma, if this were my decision, we wouldn’t be having this conversation,” he said apologetically. “I’m afraid the board has already made its decision.”“We value everything you’ve done for this company,” he continued. “Unfortunately, some of our clients have expressed concerns about the negative publicity surrounding your name.”Negative publicity.Such a fancy corporate term for, “We believe the internet more than we believe you.”I smiled politely and thanked them for letting me know.I understood. It didn’t make it hurt a
