The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 122. A Declaration Of War
EMILY POV“Where is this happening?” Leo asked.“I think it might be at the company’s auditorium. He obviously set up a diversion so he can play the hero,” I said then grabbed my tablet and tuned it in to the video of his press conference.My hand folded into a fist and I glared at him through the video. Surprisingly, Leo was calm. He simply watched in silence.Kay had mounted the podium and he came close to the microphone and said, “I appreciate the love and support you all had shown to me and my family since we lost my father, Mr. Robbins who has been a great leader and role model in this country, the United States of America…”Jude stepped into our car and sat at the driver’s seat then turned back to see us watching the live coverage of the event.“Kay played a fast one on us. He got some reports here to cover your arrest while the others are at the press conference,” he said“That’s obvious. The real question is what he hopes to achieve with this,” Leo said.“There had been severa

EMILY POV“Why are we keeping this away from Leo? This is basically about him,” Jude said.“I don’t want to make false accusations. It would be embarrassing and he might get mad at me. That’s the last thing I want right now,” I replied.“Okay then. I’ll get the gadgets ready. All you need to do is get it in and say the word. Then we’re good to go,” he said.“And one more thing. I do not want anyone else to know about this. This plan must not flop,” I said.“I’ll be handling it myself. You can count on me,” he replied.“Why is she counting on you?” Leo asked all of a sudden. He was sweating all over and he had his shorts and shirt on.“Hey babe,” I said then stood up to embrace him. I began to pray that he’s forget what he heard. He encircled my waist with his hands and laid kisses over my face then my lips. I pulled back and stared at his face while caressing his strong arms.“You should get a shower. You stink,” I said.“On it. Meanwhile, why are you counting on him? Do you need some

EMILY POVI made my way out of the house to Jude’s car. He was already on standby to tap into Agnes’ phone.A sound beeps on his laptop then Agnes’ lock pattern appeared on the screen. He followed the lock pattern then searched through her phone. He clicked on the message icon and just when we were about scrolling through, she sent a message to one, “Big Brother”.“I think we just found what we’re looking for,” Jude said then clicked on the message. It reads;They have evidence against the boss. Leo knows nothing about it. Emily is becoming very nosy. What’s the next line of action?“I knew there was a mole in this house!” I exclaimed.“We have to confront her,” Jude said.“I’ve called Leo and he’ll be here at any minute,” I said.Jude had instantly scrolled through her messages and downloaded it before she locked her phone again. After a few minutes, Leo pulled into the compound and found us by the car.“Hey babe,” he said and embraced me.“Hi,” I replied and pecked his cheek.“What’

EMILY POVI turned to face him immediately and looked in his eyes which looked sorrowful. "You sound so serious. What can't you hold in anymore?" I asked.He took a deep breath and his face was as if he would burst into tears. He held me close and cuddled me then kissed my shoulder. "You're the only true family I have. Promise that you won't leave me," he said.I looked up at his face because he was acting weird. He had never said that word to me before. "What's the matter, Leo?" I asked."Promise me first," he said."I promise that I won't leave. I love you so much to leve you alone," I replied, caressing his cheeks. Out of nowhere, the thought of the Robbins family's involvement in Max's kidnap stormed my mind. I tried to get rid of the thought but it lingered on. Leo planted a kiss on my forehead then encircled his arm around me. He was like a little kid afraid of losing his mother."I think Kay killed my father," he said."What?!" I exclaimed, pulling away from him. "How could

EMILY POVI rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower then got into the closet to put on my outfit. Leo walked into the closet and stood at the door.“You’re acting weird and with everything going on, I’m not at ease,” he said.“There’s nothing going on, Leo. I’m fine. I just need a breath of fresh air to clear my mind,” I said.“Then we could take a short trip or visit our beach side,” he suggested.“We can’t afford to take short trips when you’re contending for the chairmanship position and I’d rather be alone now. Painting can be exhausting and one of the ways to get through is to de-stress. I’ll be back soon, I promise,” I said.After putting on my pants and sweatshirt, I pecked his cheek and raced out of the house before he could oppose me. I had to meet the anonymous person who kept making me nervous and anxious. I got into the car and made my way to the location the person had sent to me.I arrived at the location and stepped out of the car. The restaurant had people leav

EMILY POVMy face brightened as he stated that he saw the number plate.“Then why haven’t you gone to the police station? That could be your chance at finding out if the car was truly for the Robbins,” I said.I sniffed in then sighed. “When I chased after the car and it disappeared, I got a bike and drove into the streets. That was when I saw the car again opposite where I was. I followed it from a distance and saw it drive into the Robbins Mansion. There was a party going on and as you know, your husband’s family only mingle with the elite,” he said then paused, sniffed in once more and continued with his narration.“I tried to go in but the security at the gate would not let me. I yelled and shouted that someone in one of the cars took my son but none of them listened. I was arrested and locked up for two days. None of the policemen said anything to me. I was just there like a nobody. After I was released, I reported my son’s kidnap and told them what I saw. They checked the numb

EMILY POV“I want to be alone,” I said then stood up from my chair and hastened to my car. I sat behind the steering wheel for minutes but I could not drive. My eyes moved from inside the car to the restaurant and the man was still there, sipping tea and wiping his face. I started my car engine and zoomed off to the villa. It all seemed unreal and impossible but Dane seemed sincere. I wondered if Leo knew all about the kidnappings or if he was in the dark like every other person. I also could not figure out why they kidnapped people. However, one thing was sure. The Robbins family housed the heinous den of the kidnappers.I parked in the garage and made my way to the bedroom where I found Leo. It was unlike him to be in the room at that time of the evening especially since I was not indoors. I could not take my eyes off him as he laid on the bed and typed on his computer. The revelation placed me in an awkward position around him. Since my mind was preoccupied with several thoughts, I
Last Updated : 2023-09-20The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 129. Confrontation Amidst Strife
EMILY POV“I’m not doing anything to you. We have so many eyes in this house. This is a living room not a bedroom. It’s inappropriate,” I said just to save face. I wasn’t thinking straight but nevertheless, I would not have sex with a man who might possibly be the cause of my woes. He might not be guilty but I had to be sure and to do that, I had to stay away and think about my next line of action. I was taking too long but it’s not an easy task to digest the fact that your husband’s family are responsible for an attempted murder of your only sibling.“Is that the problem?! Is… Is that…,” he said over and over as he approached the intercom.“I want the maids and the guards dismissed from the main building. I want everyone out. You can stand guard outside,” he said through the phone then returned back to where I stood. I rolled my eyes because he didn’t get what I meant. Although I meant nothing than to stop using from having sex that night.“You did not have to do that,” I said and st

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.

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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 152. Leo Pays The Price
LEO POVEmily wrapped her arms around me then patted my back. I rested my head on her shoulders as I wept. I was opwning up completely to her."I'm scared. I know I'm not supposed to be. 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

You're hurt all over, Leo. You can't even walk properly," she said."That does not give you the right to shut me in. I need to know what's going on. 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.

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
