The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    11. Friends with Benefits
EMILY POV"Stop blowing things out of proportion," Leo said, shielding her to a corner. "What's your problem, woman? We both had fun and got benefits during our time together so why are you making a fuss out of nothing," he yelled.I guessed her confrontation was not as intense as she had in mind because she grabbed Leo's hand as he finished speaking. "I still love you, Leo. I haven't gotten over you. What does she have that I don't? I'm also a very popular model which is a plus for you. I'll do anything you want me to do," she begged him."Will you just stop?! Stop this drama. I don't want you. I'm now a married man so stay away from me," he said and pulled me into the private room.I could not make any comments so as not to irk him. The attendants came in with a cloth rack and gestured to me to change in the dressing room.The dresses looked good on me as I had a great silhouette. Leo kept nodding till he had to purchase half the dresses on the rack. "Am I in the news?" Leo asked
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    12. A terrible first day at Work
EMILY POV"Do I have to answer that question? What I'm about to do is obvious," he stated, his big eyes staring at my body hungrily."Take your hands off me," I said, and switched the lights on. "If you don't want me to get pregnant, then do not force yourself on me. If you insist, I'll sue you for rape," I said and regretted it that very minute.It'll be weird to sue my husband for rape when we were newlyweds. And even if I could, I do not have the finances to cater for a court case especially with the high and mighty Leo Robbins.He laughed loudly and stared at me once more with his seductive eyes. I held my neck, swallowed some saliva and looked in another direction when I noticed his muscular chest and biceps. "Sue me? I hope you know that you've just made a stupid remark," he said and continued laughing."I don't care if it's stupid or not. I won't let you take advantage of me," I replied, looking towards my escape route - the door.He stood from the bed, giving me a full view o
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    13. Coming days of Woes
EMILY POV"Who do you think you are to speak to me in such a manner? I knew marrying you was a bad idea. I hated everything about you and I still do. Don't be fooled because we both live in the same house now. Once this contract is over, you'll be back in the streets where you belong. I've had enough of your constant and stupid nagging. The next time I speak, and you retort, I'll teach you an unforgettable lesson of your life. I haven't healed from what you did last night and next time, you won't get away easily. You get that?!" he yelled with his firm grip in my neck."Y..ee..ssâŠ" I struggled to reply to him as he choked me.A loud knock came on the door which put a stop to what he was doing."Sorry to disturb you. Miss Alice will like to have a word with Mrs. Emily," a lady said and left almost immediately.Leo followed her and walked out of the office without a glance at me.â â â â â â Alice had given me a pile of documents to read through before my meeting with Annabel that afternoon.
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    14. Mysterious Plans
LEO POVMy thoughts wandered off to the previous night. Jude had visited my office with some updates and while I perused the papers, we discussed.âHave you seen Emily this evening,â I asked, feigning indifference.âYeah, sheâs heading home now. I told her youâre working late tonight,â Jude said.âHmmm,â I muttered and closed the document. âShe had the nerve to leave while I was still in the office,â I mumbled and stood up.âWhere are you going?â Jude asked but I rushed out in a hurry. Emily was taking a larger part of my thoughts and it infuriated me. Iâve never had to think about a woman before.I was a misogamist who enjoyed having sex and clubbing but all that changed because of one woman. The same woman was also on the verge of making me a public object of ridicule after what she had done the previous night. A knock on the door jolted me from my thought. âCome in,â I said.Emily came in and closed the door behind her. My blood boiled as I saw her and I called the secretary immedi
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    15. Terminating Leo Jr.
EMILY POVI had never imagined that Leo would yell at me to the extent of slapping my face. I grabbed the pole behind me for support while I struggled with staying sane as I felt dizzy all of a sudden, Leo left the parking lot in anger.I pulled myself together and made my way to leave the area. After walking four feet away from where I was slapped, I felt a sudden dizziness overtook me and darkness enveloped my vision afterwards. When I regained my consciousness, I felt the smell of medicines sting my nose. I sneezed twice and tried to stand up from the bed.âWhere am I?â I asked, squinting my eyes to get a clearer vision. âYou need to rest or youâll hurt the baby. You were rushed to this hospital after you fainted,â a nurse who was checking my vital signs replied.I nodded in response and closed my eyes. They suddenly fluttered open when I thought about Leo. I wondered if he might be on his way to see me since he had to pretend to be the perfect husband.âNo!!!â I screamed and rem
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    16. A new rival
EMILY POV I felt faint inside and for a few seconds, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I wondered how much of the conversation he heard. âLeo! What are you doing here?â I asked him, surprise written all over my face. âWhat kind of question is that? Did you think Iâll stand still when my wife fainted and was rushed to the hospital?â he asked and turned to face the doctor and me simultaneously. âWhat were you talking about? Whoâs keeping a baby?â he asked. Then I knew he didnât hear our previous conversation until the doctorâs last words. I made eye contact with her and moved my head in the negative. She got my message and smiled. âI was having a conversation with one of my patients until you walked in,â she said and took off her earphones from her ears. I was startled by her quick moves in covering up for me. âAre you Emilyâs husband?â she asked. âYes and you must be her personal doctor since she had to had to leave another hospital for yours,â he said and gazed
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    17. A Friend or a Foe?
EMILY POV I could not believe her as I stood there, looking straight into her eyes. I tried to imagine what she was thinking to possess such an audacity. Unknown to me that she witnessed what transpired between Leo and me at the parking lot, I flashed back to the last two days when we had physical discussions. We were on good terms and she gave me enough respect, befitting Mrs. Robbins. I was oblivious of the fact that Alice was in love with Leo and our argument had given her the opportunity to approach Leo once again after her failed attempt when he was a bachelor. "I think you're starting to forget your place in this company. Don't bite more than you can chew," I said with confidence written all over my face. Whether Leo loved me or not, I was his legal wife which gave me an edge over every employee in the organization. "And you're having unfeasible expectations. You should get the A-plus file now before he beckons to us," Alice said with an air of pride. Unfeasible expectatio
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    18. Unwanted attraction
EMILY POV"I need to visit some place before heading home. I didn't mean to eavesdrop your conversation," I said.Deep down, I was curious to know if Annabel was a friend or foe. My mind rewind back to my engagement party with Leo. She had a strange attraction to me. She loved me for no reason at all.I couldn't help but wonder if she was a true friend or just a rival trying to use me to get closer to her ex-boyfriend or seeking revenge for taking him away from her."It's fine, Emily. We're friends," she said and we walked back to the main hall."I didn't know you and Leo were so close," I said. I couldn't stay mute. My curiosity had gotten to the apex level as I ached to know the kind of relationship they had."We are very close. We've dated once before too," she said, gesturing to her personal assistant who followed behind us."That's a surprise," I exclaimed as we approached the exit. She got me wondering why she divulged the information. "Thanks for agreeing to work with us. I hav

LEO POV"Calm down, young men. You don't need to shut each other up. The more cooperative you are, the better your chances of getting a lesser sentence," the head of the investigation bureau said.Unexpectedly, Emily showed up at the bureau. One of my men came running to me where I stood with Jude in the interrogations room."Mrs. Emily is here and wants to meet you," he said. "Did she know about it?" I asked Jude."I gave them instructions to only apprehend the guys so she wouldn't be too shocked. They didn't wait for the guys to make a move before arresting them," Jude explained."So how did she get the drift?" I asked then left the interrogation room. Jude and the other man followed me as I stepped out of the building. Emily stood by the car and when she saw me, she walked briskly to meet me. Then she stops in front of me and folded her arms over her chest."Why are you here? I felt you would be at the gallery," I said."I was supposed to until I learned that I was the target for a

That's when we would strike," he explained."Good! Don't toy with my wife. If your plan might fail, get her arrested immediately," I ordered."Yes boss," he replied and I cut the call. "Something happened?" Jude asked."Annabel's planning something. I knew that she wouldn't back down with all the messages she kept sending me," I said."After what happened between you two, she's bound to keep coming back," Jude said "Nothing happened between us. I made it clear that I did not want her after she attacked Emily," I said."But she came back, didn't she?" Jude said "Why did I ever tell you about it?" I said, my mind wandering off to my previous encounter with Annabel. I had prayed fervently that Emily would never learn of it and unless Jude informed her, she would never know.FLASHBACKOne of my business partners had invi
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    154. A New Proposal
LEO POV"I can't change my mind," I said with my focus on the vast estate. Its silence was deafening. There was not a single soul in it. "You'll be leaving a lot of memories," she said."I know but I've got bad memories here than the good ones. I'm done with this kind of life. I only want to make good memories now," I said and turned to her. "I want to make good memories with you," I added.She beamed then looked around the house."You won't visit anymore?" She asked."Yes, I'm closing it down," I replied."This is goodbye then," she said."Yeah, it is," I responded, looking around the house once more for one last time. "Let's go," I said and we walked down the driveway to the entrance of the estate. Then I directed my men to lock up the gate. While I'd ensure that the house had strict surveillance from time to time, I had decided never to visit the house again.A MONTH LATEREmily had been moving around nonstop since we woke up that morning. She could not sleep but I pet her to sle
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare    153. Farewell To The Robbins
LEO POVI stood before Mr. Fred while he wept bitterly. No one could console him except his daughter who was also waiting for her brother. Just as I had guessed, he had been a victim of the MIR project and had recently died. "I am a bad father. How could I have worked for those who killed my son," he said, beating his chest repeatedly. "I am sorry," I said with my head facing the ground. I was ashamed to look him in the eyes. "Bring my child back! Bring him back!" he yelled dragging me by the collar. My men moved to separate him from me but I gestured to them to stop. I deserved that much for being a Robbins. After pacifying him, I left his house with Emily and my men. Emily had gotten emotional and she kept wiping her face as we drove to another part of the city to tender our apology. IN THE EVENINGWe arrived at the health center where those who were addicted were kept. I met Dane who rushed to my side the minute he saw me."Thank you, Mr. Leo. Thanks so much for bringing my s

I'm Leo Robbins, Forbes billionaire with several accolades to my name. I shouldn't be shaken by this but it's too much to take in," I said."You're Leo Robbins, the tough guy but you're also human as well. It's been a lot these past few weeks but you overcame. You set the wrongs right. Even if you're shaken, I'm here to support you," she said. I raised my face to look at her then lifted my head from her shoulder."If you had seen Kay's face. He had no remorse. He felt proud of everything he had done. He smiled and laughed as if he was doing the world a favor. When did he get so callous and inhumane.

LEO POVThe lady looked away as she could not catch my face through the tinted glass."There's an entrance at the warehose behind the company building. The route is longer but you'll be fine," I said, describing the direction to the driver. He rolled out of the crowd area and drove off the place I had mentioned. After a few minutes, we arrived at the other entrance and parked at the garage. The office was disorganized when we stepped in. The employees hurried around the lobby when I appeared. I bet they all had rumors to tell about me but I cared less. I was snot going to let the company sink even if I had to go to extremes. The board executives were seated when I arrived. Not one person was missing from the table. I sat down and Emily sat beside me while Jude stood behind me. I felt I didn't need moral support but I was not as strong as I thought. The present situation had weakened me and I needed as much support as I could get."We're all startled by the revelations that showed up

I can't sit still," I said and tried to move down the stairs. She rushed to my side then stood before me to stop me from moving any further."What are you doing?" I asked."Jude stated that I should keep you away from the news and let you rest for the day. I completely agree with him and would do as he says," she said."And I said that I'm not interested in resting. Is that so hard to understand?" I asked."Why are you like this, Leo? I only care about you. I could not sleep all night because you were in pain. I woke up early to prepare your favorite soup so you can get enough strength.

LEO POVI rushed to the railings to catch his hand but it was too late. He fell off the bridge and hit his head hard on the ground. The other team members arrived as back up. "Kay's down there. You've got to check him. He must not die," I said. He's yet to pay for his crimes and see how much evil he has done. I wanted him to witness excruciating pain like he made others go through. The elite team members rushed to him and I followed as well even though I was limping. By the time we arrived at the place, he had lost consciousness and was bleeding profusely. I could not understand the emotions I was feeling as I watched him lay on the ground.â â â â â â As we drove through the streets, the doctors began to treat me in the bus.

LEO POV"You should stay here and keep an eye on them," I said."The others can. Let me follow you. That was why you hired us. To protect you. I'm with you on this mission," Silas said. 'Let's go!" I yelled and he followed. The guy who had kept an eye on Kay began to give us directions till we arrived at the other entrance of the cave at the other end of the estate. While we made our way there, I saw the storage room where the drugs were kept. Then I saw some corpses, dead bodies of men who could not stand the drugs as they were too powerful. It could never be approved by the government. I was astonished to see that there was another passage outside the estate that led to the underground tunnel. Once we stepped out, I noticed some fresh foot prints on the ground. Kay had least expected the attack so he had nothing prepared. I raced after him with Silas until we came face to face."Hey!!! Do you think you would ever escape?" I yelled."Stay away from me, Leo. You have everything. Tak
