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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 140. Nothing But The Truth
LEO POV"Do you have any idea about where he disappeared to?" I asked."I think he disappeared around the deserted bush area. I'm so sorry, Mr. Leo. I would have spoken up but I was not sure about how you'd take it," Fred said."It's fine. You don't have to apologize. Tell us everything you know," Jude said, encouraging him to speak up."After I heard about your break-in into the mansion and how you were attacked, I felt I had to inform you. I haven't been myself since I witnessed the incident," he said then clasped his hands. They were shaky and sweaty, I could imagine how scared he was. One of my greatest fears was that his missing son might have been abducted for the MIR project since they were majorly focused on young men."You'll be fine. I'll ensure that Kay pays for everything but for his crimes," I said."You have to be very careful, sir. Mr. Kay is very cunning and smart because he learned his gimmicks from Mr. Robbins. The CCTV cameras in the house are simply there for proto
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 141. She Knows It Too
LEO POVI looked away as I spoke because I was ashamed.“I knew that the Robbins mansion held those who were abducted so I visited and searched the place. I got a few clues but was attacked by Kay’s men. I bet he already knows that I know something,” I said.“Why would you do that? You didn’t even share a thing with me. What if something had happened to you?” she yelled.“I was trying to protect you. I knew you would react this way. I had to find out the truth,” I said.“What else did you find?” She asked “I found the location of the underground funnel where I guessed they were being kept. We also found the trash site where corpses of their victim were kept. I noticed that they kidnapped young men” I explained. Emily’s hands dropped and she stared into space. “My father was in it. He had been running the organization which I think they called the MIR project since around 1995,” I said.“1995?! Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed.“I’m sorry I got you worried. There was too much going on
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 142. Vengeance Is Mine
LEO POV“Oh my goodness! When did you arrive here?” I asked.“I’ve been here all along,” Emily replied.“Really? You look amazing. Where are you off to?” I asked.“Off to wherever you’re going off course,” she replied and I gawked at her.“Do you even know where I’m off to?” I asked.“I heard your entire conversation with Jude early this morning. I know that Kay’s man has been sighted and you’re bringing him in. I want to be there as well. I don’t want to be left out anymore. This is my fight too,” she answered. I moved my right hand through my hair then stared at her. She could be a pest sometimes. Her face wore and unwavering firm look, convincing her to stay back would lead to a war within the house.“If you escort me, you must not do anything. Just watch, alright?” I said and she nodded.“Let’s go,” I said and she followed behind me till we reached the car. We stepped into the back seat while the driver started the car. Then I had just an entourage, four men in a car who followed
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 143. Something About Max
LEO POVThe man spat out blood then shot me a deadly stare.“You can’t force words out of my mouth. What did you do to me?” he screamed. I grabbed another sachet of the chemical on the table and inserted the injection into it. After filling the injection, I approached him.“Don’t come near me,” he yelled but his right thigh ws stiff.“Once this enters into your body, you’ll become paralyzed in another part as well. You’ll experience immense pain that you can’t endure because your body wont be able to take it,” I said then bent low and looked him in the eye.“What do you know about Max Jones,” I reiterated.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he yelled. “Fine!” I said then stuck the injection into his left thigh. He screamed and the leg was paralyzed immediately. He squeezed his face as the pain began to set in.“That’s just the start, man. Give it fifteen to twenty minutes and you’ll want to die but you won’t. I won’t let you die. You’ll suffer. The pain would become too unbear

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.

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.

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.

I'm Leo Robbins, Forbes billionaire with several accolades to my name.

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 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!!!
