Gemma Liu is thick skinned, out going, and most importantly, she knows what she wants. She is the personal assistant for Charles Wen of Wen Technology. He also happens to be what she wants. 

The problem with that, however, is that Charles is immune to the charms of women—including her. He is cold, harsh, impatient, and people often leave his office in tears. That doesn’t deter Gemma in the least. She’s declared war on his heart of stone. 

Just when she thinks he’s finally succumbed to her charms, she finds herself in a precarious position. In a moment of fear she marries another man; a man loves her enough to salvage her reputation. The years pass and Gemma finds herself suddenly widowed with a child. Coming home to Shanghai, she feels defeated. 

Meanwhile, a tragic accident leaves Charles Wen disfigured and in need of long term and in-depth care. Gemma is ready to stay by his side and care for him but Charles is anything but happy about it. Unfortunately for him, his family thinks she’s the perfect person to be his caregiver...She’s the only woman not afraid to look upon him. His grandfather decides that Gemma must become the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. 

Charles says he will marry no one, because what woman would love a monster? Will he let down his guard long enough to give Gemma a chance? And can he accept the child that she adores? 

“I’ll Never Let You Go” is a story about the power of unconditional love forged by trial of fire.

I’ll Never Let You Go

The next morning, Gemma woke first. She remained still, thinking Charles needed the rest after the previous night. She sighed. He had put her through too much last night! 


  Suddenly she thought of something. She reached for her phone and opened the camera function. Charles deserves a bit of payback for all the trouble he'd caused. 


  She leaned her cheek against his sleeping face and smiled. The camera flashed and their picture appeared on her phone. Charles groaned as he opened his eye. He wondered why the sun was so bright that it hurt his eyes, hey did his head hurt so badly? Oh, right. Because he had drank himself into a stupor the night before. 


  He turned to look at Gemma, who was playing on her phone. 


  "What are you doing? His hoarse voice, thick with sleep asked. 


  "Just updating the company discussion forum with pictures from the trip." She said innocently. 


  "Hmmm." He mumbled and rolled over to go back to sleep. 


  A few minutes later his phone began beeping with multiple incoming text messages. He fumbled for his phone, wondering what was so urgent. 


  He looked in shock at all the messages. As he read them he felt his anger surge. 


  "What did you do?!" He roared. Didn't this woman fear death at all? 


  She giggled. "What's wrong, dear?" She asked. 


  "You've caused me to lose face, Gemma!" He was truly angry. She had embarrassed him. 


  "It was just a joke. I'll take it down." She pouted. 


  "It's already been removed by the IT department. Honestly Gemma! I haven't been strict enough with you. That's going to change." He announced. 


  "Excuse me? I'm your girlfriend. What do you mean by being strict with me?" She asked, her voice suddenly icy. 


  "I mean as your employer I've allowed you to break too many rules. I'm going to change that immediately."  He confirmed. 


  "And as my boyfriend, what do you intend to do?" Her voice rose slightly 


  "I'm going to remind you of who I am and what is required of the woman following me. That involves your discretion. You must not do things that bring me reproach." He said firmly. 


  "I'll continue to be true to myself, thank you very much!" She shot back. 


  "Then we can not be together." He informed her. 


  "Did you hear what you just said?!" She shouted. 


  "I'm serious, Gemma." His voice was hard. 


  "I struggled to get you to the room last night, bathed you, and scrubbed your vomit off of the floor. I think I'm entitled to a bit of fun at your expense. You're too uptight for your own good." She said. 


  "You're right. I have had enough!" She said as she jumped from the bed. 


  "What are you doing?" He asked in confusion. 


  "I'm leaving. That's right, I'm leaving. And I quit!" She  information fumed. She stormed around the room packing her bags. Finally she had her belongings together and then she walked out of the room without looking back. He was shocked.
