The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 127. What You Have Under Wraps
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 128. Should Love Start To Fade?
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
The 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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 130. Love Should Conquer All
EMILY POV“Yes! Your fault! Is that what you guys have been doing all these while? You cover up your heinous crimes with the R&B Group then pretend to be a hardworking family?” I blurted out without thinking.“I beg your pardon. What is that supposed to mean?” he asked.I held my breath then sighed as a tear rolled out on my cheeks.“Your family has been involved in the various NYC kidnap cases flowing around in the media,” I said, dropping the bomb that could shatter our relationship.“What… Emily, what are you saying? I don’t understand you,” he said.“The Robbins family kidnapped Max and I have proof that they did,” I said.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Emily. You should not be the one to tarnish my family’s image like this. What if this gets out?” he asked“Oh! You’re afraid that this might get out? So you knew about it,” I said“Know about what?! How can you just cook up such a silly accusation and you expect me to believe that?” he said as he was starting to grow angr
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 131. A Heartbreaking Discovery
EMILY POV"Calm down, Dane. Leo is not a bad person. He is here to help. We all have the same goal and that is to uncover the truth. We should be working together," I said in a bid to make peace between the two as their egos were apparently inflated."He had brainwashed you. They are rich yet they cheat the masses. They know that people like me and you are not influential so they take our loved ones from us. I won't fall for such," Dane said."Now sir, you don't know me. You don't know who I am and I don't care about whatever you've seen on the media but keep that to yourself. I won't be here if not for the sake of my wife. I want to know how credible the story you fed her was because as much as you do not believe me, I do not believe you too," Leo said. They glared at each other like warring wild animals so I stepped in immediately. "Can we all calm down, have a seat and discuss this? Don't you want to see your son, Dane? Leo could help you get justice if you let him," I said "He w
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 132. Missing
LEO POV"It's nothing. Go back to sleep," I replied. I had not been myself after the revelation. It was a hard nut to crack, a bitter pill that I could not swallow. I had pondered over the issue and I deduced that my father had been hinting about it for a while. He had always mentioned his empire which was non-existent to me until I met Dane. I wanted to rectify it all and I was done being nice."It can't be nothing. You're wearing an all black outfit. We've been together for months already so I can tell that your dress isn't ordinary," she said."Don't worry and just go to sleep. I'll be back soon," I replied."But it's too early. You can go wherever you want to go when the day's brighter," she said. I sniffed then climbed onto the bed and held her shoulders. "I'll be back before you know it. I just have some loose ends to fix," I said, then stood up from the bed and made my way to the door. As I was about to turn the knob, she dropped questions that stopped me dead in my tracks."W
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 133. Breaking Barriers
LEO POVThey all came rushing at me as if an order had been put out to beat me to a pulp. They were the least of my worries because I was a pro at boxing and martial arts. My major concern was why they were fixated at protecting the deserted area. The first person threw a punch at me but I dodged it and gave him a taste of his own medicine. He tried to retaliate but I was quick to detect another rushing at me from the other side. I bent low and they collided. The second person smashed the first person's face which made him collapse. I pulled out an elastic rope from my pocket. It was my best instrument for fighting while I was in high school and through college. I hid a gun behind me but it was for the most extreme situation.I bounced onto the third person and held his neck with the rope. Then I pulled him towards the fourth person who was fuming with all his might. His focus was on me and he least expected to be hit by the third person. I stretched the rope and beckoned on them t
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 134. What Are You Hiding?
LEO POVWhile we ate dinner, I pretended to scoop a few portions but I avoided taking any meal. I had no appetite. My mind was filled with thoughts of our planned undercover job that night. I contacted Jude and Dane to inform them. While the former got all the equipment and tools we needed, the latter put together the evidence he had gathered. We already had a lead and a plan to lay waste on whatever organization was beneath the mansion.Emily chatted about several topics, especially the various women and entrepreneurial meetings she had attended in recent times. I guessed she hoped to engage in conversations with me so as to rid my thoughts of the kidnap cases. She felt I was still brooding and I decided to keep it that way. I did not want her to get involved in case we encountered a mishap.After dinner, she continued like a chatterbox till I arrived at the study. I stood by the table and sorted out some documents while she held my arm and spoke fast. "What do you think? Did I do w

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

LEO POV"Fill me in," I said "She has her eyes on Mrs. Emily. My men, I've gotten the necessary information to bring her in. She will execute her plans in a few days. 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
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. I might be q rogue or thug but we were not supposed to kill innocent people. Now, the protesters are out there and I also have to answer to those investigations.

The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 151. Pressure Like A Drip
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

LEO POV"Something of this magnitude is happening and you could not wake ulme up to inform me? How do I defend us if I lay sleeping at home?!" I yelled."I wanted you to rest. 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. I'm doing all I can to get you back into shape so please, don't disrupt it," she

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.

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
