My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

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?”

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

Julian “Damn! 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

GemmaThe first thing I felt was a pounding headache.I opened my eyes gradually, but my surroundings appeared blurry, and my body felt strangely heavy. I attempted to move, but my head started pounding right away, making me shut my eyes once more.Then I heard Gigi.“Gemma, please wake up.”Her voice sounded different from usual. She kept calling my name. I tried to respond, but my mouth was dry and my voice barely came out.“Gigi…”“Oh, thank God.”I heard someone shift beside me, and then another voice I knew.“She’s awake.”Damien.I opened my eyes once more and saw him standing near the sofa while Gigi sat beside me, her face pale and her eyes red. I looked between them, confused by the worry on their faces.“What happened?”Gigi grabbed my hand at once.“You passed out.”I stared at her.“What?”“You were sitting there, and then you suddenly stopped responding. I called your name several times, but you wouldn’t answer me.”I looked around the room, trying to remember what had ha

Gemma“You are going.”I stayed curled up on the sofa, staring at the TV. Without paying attention to whatever was playing. “I already told you, I’m not interested.”She had been at this for the past twenty minutes.“Gemma, you can’t keep doing this,” she said, walking around the living room. “You wake up, stay inside, barely speak to anyone, and spend the entire day finding reasons not to go out. Even Ethan has been asking where you are. You haven’t been to class.”“I told him I wasn’t feeling well.”“You lied.”Gigi stopped in front of me.“And you think that’s going to work forever? That man has been trying to reach you because you’ve disappeared from class, and you’ve been avoiding him because you don’t want to explain what happened. Anne invited us to this charity thing, and you’re acting like leaving the house for a few hours will kill you.”“I just don’t feel like being around people.”“Yeah, yeah, I know you don’t,” she said, rolling her eyes. “But that doesn’t mean you should
