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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 135. In The Middle Of The Night
LEO POVThe men whispered a few words to themselves then went into their cars and sped into the main road. When we were sure that no one was there, I led the way and we went through the opening. Surprisingly, I was not scared. I had a gun and my favorite combat tool, the elastic rope. I expected to meet a hefty man or two after we passed through the entrance but no one was there. Though, it would be useless to have guards around the area when it was so farther away from the city. As I stepped into the area, I threw up instantly. Mosquitos hummed over the entire place and Dane brought out two nose masks as if he knew what we'd meet. The area was a trash site filled with dead bodies. The sack the men had earlier pulled out of the car contained dead bodies of young men. I puked a second time as my eyes surveyed the site. With the enormous heap of bodies, father must have been carrying out the operation for years. All of a sudden, tears dropped on my cheeks. I felt so ashamed for being
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 136. Bits By Bits
LEO POVWe had escorted Max to the airport and I had one of my trusted men to take him to a safe place. I suggested that Emily should follow him but she refused. I was going through a tough time and she wanted to be with me. She also wanted to avenge her brother who had been comatose for months. While we returned from the airport, she had her face away from me and stared outside the window. She wept silently but the driver and I knew that she was crying. The driver checked through the rearview mirror then moved his eyes away immediately he noticed that I was staring right back at him."Babe, he'll be fine, I promise," I assured her. She wiped away her tears and feigned a weak smile."You don't have to pretend that all is fine," I said. She looked into my eyes then at the window.I felt she needed some private space so I held her hand while looking out to my side of the window as well. I recall how my friends had instigated me to dig into Emily's background. To be honest, my life had n
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 137. On The Verge Of Discovery
LEO POV"With the look on your face, I can tell that you know who I am," I said and he panted and struggled to be free from the chair."I don't know who you are. I only know that you appear on TV and social media," he said, trying to appear confident. I smirked then moved closer to him."I'm a fan!" he exclaimed as he got scared by every step I took."Please spare me. I did nothing wrong," he pleased, looking into my face. I let out a sinister laugh then bent low beside him. "I haven't said anything. You talk too much," I stated and landed a blow on his face. Before he could recover from it, I tightened my fist and gave him another in his tummy. He spat out blood and his cheek swelled up immediately."Who do you work for?" I asked."I don't work for anyone. I'm just a simple guy, working as a waiter in…" he replied but I was infuriated by his lies. A few months ago and I would go easy on him because I wanted to be a cool guy for Emily but I could be both; cool and brutal. Kay would n
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 138. No Hard Feelings
LEO POVIt was late when I arrived at the villa. I stepped into the house and went straight to the bedroom where I found Emily reading a novel. She had her legs crossed while lying on the bed which made it obvious that she struck that pose after she knew that I was in the building. I smiled then sat at the edge of the bed."Are you mad at me?" I asked but got no reply. She was ignoring me."I didn't mean to skip breakfast. It was an urgent call," I explained but she still would not reply me. I stood from the edge of the bed and strutted to her side. I sat beside her but she flinched. "Just hit me already. Smack my face. Punch my stomach. Do whatever to abate your anger but don't ignore me," I said, grabbing her hand and placing it on my chest. She withdrew then looked me in the eye."Do I even mean anything to you anymore? Recently, I've been staying around the house, doing nothing most of the time because you tell me not to go out everytime. Then there's a whole lot of bodyguards ou
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 139. An Unheard Story
LEO POV"Not now, babe," I said, then held her waist and kissed her lips. Before she could get a hold of herself and do what had just happened, I raced out of the house into my car and sped out.My heart was beating rapidly for no reason or perhaps, there was a reason. All my calculations pointed to the fact that Kay had something to do with father's death but I could not accept that he would kill him just yet. Having a stranger tell it to my face made my heart skip a beat each time I maneuvered the steering wheel. I picked my phone and dialed Jude's number."Hey man! What's up?" I said."Hello boss. Got nothing but monitoring the trash site. We've got to strike soon before we get exposed. That would forfeit all our plans and he would hide all the evidence" he replied."No sweat. We'll strike soon. I just got a call from the gardener of the Robbins mansion. He knows something about Father's death," I said."It could be a trap," he said"I know but I'll go anyways. I gave him the locat
