The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 1. Woke up a Stripper
Emily POV I felt something banging in my head as I stretched and pulled myself up from the bed. My eyes were tightly shut but an unending flashlight forced them open. I've never been so startled in my entire life as I saw the paparazzi in front of my room, taking pictures of me. What could be happening? I wasn't popular enough to get the paparazzi on my tail. I was utterly shocked when I felt a movement beside me on the bed. An unclad man held the sheets tightly over our mid-body region. He suddenly grabbed my hand, his eyes slowly turning red with anger. The ground could just swallow me right here because I couldn't give any explanation for being naked on a strange man's bed. "Mr Robbins, we'd like to know your relationship with this woman?" "Is she your secret fiancee?" "What is your explanation to the members of the public who are anxious to know why you're in a hotel with a strange woman?" These and many more questions poured in from the reporters who were eager to kno
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 2. Contracted to Him
LEO POV I could not stop thinking about the woman who had destroyed my plans. I've always settled with the fact that women were only good at one place and that was in bed. I never pictured myself getting married at 31. Despite my unwillingness to start a contract marriage with the stripper, I had to comply due to my father's plan. He always found a way to every problem I had and this was not an exception. I just needed to exercise a little patience till all was calm for me to assume the chairmanship role of R&B group. After all these, we'd dump her. I dropped my pen and pushed my swivel chair farther from my table. I dialed her number which my executive secretary, Jude had found and waited patiently to bash her. I had so much joy in doing so. We had a few conversations after which she began to fume over the phone. "I'm not pregnant. God forbid that I carry your child,"she screamed over the phone. "The cafe or nowhere else,"she added. I wasn't in for an argument with her so I ag
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 3. Crushing on my Fake Husby
EMILY POV The moment I stepped into Leo Robbins Villa, I could tell that the family lived up to their name. The artistry on the wall was unique and the architecture was like nothing I'd seen before. Despite the beauty of the house, its only flaw was the owner. Leo approached me in the living room with no tees on. It was so distracting and I stuttered to find my words. Even when I did, he insulted and accused me of something I knew nothing about. My family might be poor and I might be struggling but I would never extort money from anyone. I began to calculate what could have happened that night. Was there someone out to hurt me? Was it the same person that kidnapped Max? My mind was blurred with a series of unending questions waiting to be answered. Leo's movement brought me back to reality as he moved to an area of the room and took some documents. He came towards me and showed evidence of my message to the press men. "The messages were tracked to your contact number so what
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 4. Being the Media's Bride
EMILY POV I'd never had that much exposure in my entire life. I held onto my purse and almost swooned behind Leo who held unto me. He held my hand in his arm and together, we walked down the red carpet. We had our pictures taken with a lot of people over us. I felt out of place as we entered the main hall which was crowded with several dignitaries from various works of life. I bet Leo could sense my nervousness so he whispered, "Calm down. You can't mess this up. We'll have a lot of attention on us tonight so get ready for it." I gulped a large lump of saliva, wore a cute smile on my face and moved confidently with Leo through the crowd. A toast was made to us, the newest couple who were showing their faces to the public after a month of honeymoon. We're just so good at lying and pretending. Leo held my hand, smiled at me sweetly and planted a kiss on top of it as a reporter from one of the most reputable media houses in town came over to our side. "So sorry to interrupt you, M
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 5. Falling for my Worst Nightmare
That was impossible. I can't be pregnant. I just missed my period which seemed normal considering all I'd been through in the past few days. Deep down, I felt a tingling nervousness stirring up but I kept convincing myself with my thoughts. I rinsed my mouth and headed to the hall. A few of the guests who already recognized my face greeted me as I passed by the hall leading to the staircase beside the main hall. Just as I responded to them, the aroma from one of the servers' trays filled my nose and I felt another surge to throw up. I instantly rushed back to the bathroom. Meanwhile I had attracted the attention of a good number of eyes. I rinsed my mouth after puking and applied a lipstick to my already dry and washed lips. "Are you okay?" a female voice from behind asked. "Oh! You startled me," I said, surprised to see Annabel. My heart skipped a beat as I couldn't imagine her seeing me throwing up. "Sorry. One of the guests ran into the hall to inform us about your condit

It was all thanks to my father's cue as I had to put on a new "me" at the party. I had to act nice and romantic so we could convince everyone that we were truly a couple.It would be impossible to do so if Emily kept stuttering and staring like a wounded cat. The most surprising part of the event was that Emily thought I had started falling for her just because I kissed her. So naive and stupid. However my plans worked as she felt at ease with me and she held unto me sweetly. Since the party was over, I expected her to crawl back into her shell and return to her boundary but she had to cross it. After the acting of the night, all I needed was a good time out and an uninterrupted rest but the annoying girl felt she could touch me. I boiled with anger as she did and pushed her away.I knew that what I just did was mean bu

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 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.

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.
