CHAPTER 6
“Jemma don’t be like this, if you’re suspecting me then just go ahead and tell me. What’s the meaning of who’s she?” Caleb asked looking away.
“Caleb don’t you dare change the topic. What’s the meaning of this pregnancy scan? Do you expect me to turn a blind eye to it just like I did at the office? Till when do you plan on hiding the truth from me?” Jemma yelled as she held back her tears.
“What do you want me to say to you Jemma? Should I come clean or we should just pretend like all this never happened in the first place” Caleb said coldly and Jemma slapped him hard across the face.
“How dare you!” Jemma said furiously glaring at him.
“Having an affair wasn’t enough, you had to get her pregnant as well. How dare you say we should let this slide? How can we let this slide when you had an affair? Is cheating on me a joke to you” Jemma barked.
“Take your voice down Jemma. You will wake the kids up” Caleb said as he tried to hold Jemma but she moved backwards.
“Do you still care about the kids? Why? Are you scared they would hear about your disgusting affair? You were with your mistress and that’s why you couldn’t make it to your daughter’s birthday party. She waited all through the night so you could wish her a happy birthday but where were you?” Jemma barked and Caleb ruffled his hair roughly.
“Jemma I’m sorry ok, I wanted to make it…” Caleb couldn’t finish his sentence when Jemma cut in.
“Get out Caleb” Jemma yelled.
“Jemma”
“Get out right now and don’t bother coming back into this room. You can come pick your things to the guest room tomorrow. We will discuss about your affair when it’s dawn” Jemma said seriously.
“Jemma you’re taking things too far” Caleb said slowly and Jemma glared at him.
“You took things too far yourself so get out, the sight of you makes my blood boil” Jemma said with a frown and Caleb slowly walked out of the room and Jemma sat on the bed.
She looked at the pregnancy scan and tore it in to pieces.
Jemma picked up her phone and head out of her room.
She ran out of the building. She head to her favorite spot around their neighborhood after getting herself a bottle of soju in a close by convenience store.
FLASHBACK***
“Jemma I will not approve of your relationship with Caleb. I’ve got better plans for your future so I can’t let you ruin that. Break up with him right now” Jemma’s dad fired and tears roll down Jemma’s cheeks.
“Dad I’ve come this far and I’ve made my decision, I can’t live without Caleb. We love each other so much. I’m sorry dad but let me be with who I love” Jemma said defiantly in tears.
“Jemma what has come over you? It’s unlike you to be this stubborn. Did he threaten you or blackmail you? What’s so good about Caleb that you can’t find in Weston?” He asked seriously.
“Dad I think you should accept it already because Caleb and I will be expecting” Jemma said looking away.
“What!” Her dad screamed and held his chest as he winced in pain.
FLASHBACK ENDS**
Jemma reminisce on the past and hot tears roll down her cheeks.
“What a jerk! How could he do something like that to me? After everything we’ve been through” Jemma sobbed as she gulped down the bottle of soju and someone snatched the bottle from her hand.
“How do you plan on driving yourself back home after getting drunk” Weston asked as he appeared from behind.
“Who the h’ll are you?” Jemma asked rudely then turned around and she covered her mouth with her palms in shock.
“Mr Hong what are you doing here? Do you live around here?” Jemma asked shortly and Weston smirked as he sat next to her.
“I bought a house around here because someone loved visiting this area so much” Weston said slowly.
“Someone? And Mr Hong what are you doing out here at this late hour?”
“I live around here so I came out for some fresh air. What about you? What are you doing out here so late at night?” Weston asked calmly.
“I needed some fresh air as well and that’s why I’m here. Anyways, I need to go back home now. I have to go to work tomorrow” Jemma said then stood up from the ground.
“You’re really a workaholic. Tomorrow is Saturday” Weston teased and Jemma chuckled and sat back.
“Silly me” She grinned.
“Are you getting so much pressure from work?” Weston asked curiously.
“Not at all, it’s just some personal issues but I will get over it soon” Jemma sniffed holding back her tears.
“If you can’t handle it then just let things work themselves out but don’t let it weigh you down okay” Weston advised and tears escaped from Jemma’s eyes and she wiped it off quickly.
“What’s wrong with me? Did something get into my eyes?” Jemma chuckled awkwardly as her tears couldn’t stop rolling down.
“I’m not a gentleman so I’m sorry I can’t give you an handkerchief okay. I can close my ears if you want me to” Weston teased and Jemma laughed.
“I can’t believe I’m tearing up like a little kid in front of you Mr Hong. It’s embarrassing, we’re business partners so I shouldn’t act weak in front of you so I refuse sob in front of you” Jemma said as she sniffed and Weston smiled.
“I’m seating next to you. Do you still think I’m sitting here because we’re business partners? I’m seating here so you don’t commit suicide or do anything silly to yourself. You don’t seem to be in a good mood so until you cheer up I’m here with you” Weston said slowly and Jemma looked at him laughing.
“You’re funny Mr Hong, why would I even think of commiting suicide. I’ve got lots of things to do with my kids and for my kids, I can’t die yet” Jemma scoffed.
“That’s the spirit. Love yourself first but what happened to your arm? Did you get into an accident?” Weston asked worriedly.
“Something like that but I’m fine now thank you” Jemma said with a half smile.
You don’t deserve any of this Jemma. You have to be happy for your sake at least. Weston said in his head staring at her.
“You’re sitting here with me, won’t your wife be lonely sleeping alone?” Jemma teased and Weston laughed.
“Not at all.. I’m pretty sure she will be happy in fact. I have someone to speak with this late at night” Weston said with a smile and Jemma stared at him a bit confused.
“Huh!” She uttered still looking at him.
“My wife’s late” Weston announced and Jemma felt bad.
“Sorry about that Mr Hong, I had no idea and come to think of it, you look very familiar” Jemma changed the topic.
Weston cleared his throat as he stood up.
“It’s getting pretty late. I should walk you home so you don’t get into any trouble on the way”
“Can I decline your offer?” Jemma asked awkwardly.
“No you can’t, I insist”

NEXT MORNING……
~~CHEN’S BUILDING **
Everyone woke up late and sluggishly head to the dinning table.
“Baby sis, how was your night?” Eli asked jovially as he placed his hand around Josie’s neck.
“Big bro, it was lovely and I had a very sound sleep” Josie said smiling widely as they head to the dinning table.
“Mum surprised you big time” Eli said slowly.
“Of course she did and mum made my birthday a memorable one. Let’s have breakfast bro” Josie said excitedly and they took their seats and Jemma joined them.
“Good morning” Jemma greeted with a smile and took her seat.
“How was your night mum?” Josie asked with a smile.
“It was lovely sweetie and yours?”
“Beautiful mum”
“Dad isn’t awake yet?” Eli asked looking around and Jemma frowned.
“Let’s eat” Jemma said faking a smile as the chef served them.
Caleb joined them.
“Happy birthday Josie, I’m sorry it’s coming late. I came back home late last night, i didn’t want to disturb your sleep so I didn’t come in but hope you love the gift I got for you?” Caleb asked with a smile.
“Of course I do Dad” Josie said excitedly. He was about to take his seat and Jemma cleared her throat.
“You’re not hungry yet right?” Jemma asked with a fake smile.
“Right. I will have breakfast later. Everyone enjoy” Caleb said and left the dinning table.
“He clearly deserves that for missing out on your special day Josie” Eli said sarcastically.
“Eli is that anyway to speak about your Dad. You have no atom of respect, we spend so much on your education so you would learn good morals but how can you be so sarcastic and arrogant. Do I deserve this kind of treatment from you? We care and worry about you a lot and this is how you behave” Jemma fired angrily.
“I’m sorry Mum” Eli said calmly and Jemma stood up angrily.
“I lost my appetite. The both of you go ahead” Jemma said angrily then walked to the guest room.
“I think mum had a fight with Dad” Josie said slowly and Eli exhaled.
“Gosh that was close, I spoke out at the wrong timing. She vented her frustration on me” Eli uttered and Josie laughed.
“But I hope they work things out” Josie said worriedly.
“You worry too much, they will work things out for sure. Let’s just eat, I’m going out with Zed today will you come along?” Eli asked and Josie jumped up excitedly.
“Of course, of course! With all pleasure bro” Josie said excitedly.
“Josie you can’t fall for Zed ok? He’s your brother’s friend so it’s a no” Eli warned and Josie rolled her eyes.
“What are you saying bro? Why would you even think of such a thing… Just say you’re jealous because I admire Zed. Don’t take it the wrong way okay, I see Zed as an idol, a kpop idol” Josie said excitedly.

*******
Jemma got into the guest room Caleb was and closed the door.
“What’s her name?” Jemma asked seriously.
“Who?” Caleb asked playing dumb.
“Your mistress” Jemma yelled and Caleb shrunk in fear.
“Why do you want to know her name? Will it change anything if I tell you her name? Jemma I’m sorry we had to come to this. I’m sorry for cheating and lying to you” Caleb said slowly and Jemma scoffed.
“Sorry won’t change the fact that you’re at the verge of breaking our family apart. Caleb the only solution to this mess you created is to let me meet your mistress right now and here. Call her over, I want to have a word with her” Jemma said seriously.
“Jemma we can talk things out no need to involve others” Caleb cut in anxiously.
“Are you calling her over or let me do it?” Jemma threatened.
“Ok fine” Caleb said and picked up his phone putting a call across to Olivia.
“Can you come over, let’s discuss something” Caleb said over the phone and hung up.
20 minutes later…..
Jemma stood at the balcony looking at the gate.
Olivia parked her car and head into the gate.
“Olivia!” Jemma gasped on seeing her then turned around glaring at Caleb.
She walked to him and gave him a heavy slap.
“How dare you Caleb? You had an affair with my secretary” Jemma yelled as tears roll down her cheeks.
