EMILY POVMy eyes followed the movement of the gatecrashers as they walked in. I moved my attention to Leo who was about to hold his glass to his mouth but stopped mid-way as they entered.When one of them noticed me, she gestured to the others and they approached me. Every step they took made me jittery but I found my confidence soon.I was Leo's wife and from what I could deduce, he might have feelings for me. And even if he didn't have feelings for me, I was ready to take a stand and show them who the boss is. I walked elegantly to Leo and held his arm."Honey, can we go grab a drink?" I asked him in a bid to steal him away from the guests he was speaking with."Of course, excuse me," he said to the guests and followed me. One of his ex-girlfriends followed in our direction and we met at the small bar put in place for the event."Hey boy! Won't you even say hello? I came all the way to celebrate you today even though someone decided not to send me an invite," she said."I guess you
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 42. An act well played
LEO POV I had never felt so excited about my birthday until Emily planned my 32nd birthday party. I was extremely glad to see how she poured so much energy into planning the event and I ensured she had everything she needed. Jude was the mastermind of the whole thing owing to his desire to bring me and Emily close. While she was over the place to ensure a successful party, I kept my eyes on her. She had managed to charm me and I was captivated by her beauty, intelligence and confidence. The way she stood up to my ex-girlfriends was impressive. The ladies were only good at one thing and that was sleeping with me. I spent millions on them since they were majorly glamorous and classy models, presenters, actresses. Fortunately, Emily was a welcome distraction from my flirty and messy lifestyle. My joy was short-lived when I saw Kay at my party. I expected to see him since I sent him an invitation card but his presence still bothered me. Then he provoked me when he held Emily's hand

The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 44. A Flirty situation
EMILY POV"Leo!!! You're being rude. You don't even know what we were discussing," I said calmly so as not to draw other people's attention."I'm not dumb and not stupid like you think I am. I clearly know what you were discussing and the fact that he is asking my wife to dinner?" Leo said."Let it go, Leo. It's just dinner and I…" I tried to explain but Leo cut in abruptly."Just dinner?! Did you just say it's just dinner?! I'm terribly disappointed in you and how you've stooped so low," Leo slammed me."Calm down, man. You don't need to yell before you pass a message. That's a disregard for your wife," the stranger said.Leo's eyes saw red as he held the man's collar while the other held his hand to release his grip. "Don't you ever dare teach me how to treat my woman. She's mine and I know how to make her happy," Leo yelled and it got the attention of other guests."She's not a thing to be possessed. She's a living and breathing human like you," the stranger replied. My legs were s

LEO POVEmily's provocative statement bothered me as I took my shower and went to bed. Even when I got to the office, I could not stop thinking about her and my harsh comment.I sank into my chair and focused on replying to my emails but it did me no good. I needed a distraction from Emily. It was as though I would go crazy and my head would explode. "Hello, Mr. Leo. These are the documents you asked for. I have ensured that they are all signed and the deal will commence tomorrow," Alice said, dropping a few documents on my table."Great job, Alice. I can always count on you," I said, perusing the documents."You can always count on me. You look bothered sir?" she said with concern etched on her face."Do I? I'll be fine," I replied with a faint smile."What if I got something to cheer you up?" she asked and walked slowly to my side of the table as if trying to see if I would react.I felt my libido rising as she drew near. I had not had sex in a while because of Emily and I stayed a
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 46. Vacationing makes way for romance
LEO POV"Nothing happened. I want to be left alone," she said and made to leave but I pulled her back to me."But I already apologized. There's nothing between me and Alice. She tried to seduce me and I was about to refuse her when you showed up. I never intended to hurt you," I explained."I don't think there's any need for you to explain yourself to me. You're my boss and it's your life. I can't interfere with that," she said."Where did you sleep last night?" I asked."At my parents house," she replied. I breathed in deeply and placed my hands in my pocket. I felt I should have informed Jude to carry out a total background check when he asked. I would have known a lot about her.The only thing I knew about her was that she was a poor and struggling artist who I found on my bed the next day."And I hope you had a good rest?" I asked again and she shrugged."Can I leave now?" She asked."Quit making this difficult for me, Emily. I'm trying to do all I can so you can forgive me," I sa
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 47. Getting to know him
EMILY POVIt was my first time traveling out of the country and I felt elated about the trip. More so about Leo who had started warming up to me after our fall out. Martha told me how he stayed up all night, waiting for me till he fell asleep. Then he asked her to prepare my favorite meal while he refused to eat till I was back. He had turned romantic towards me which was a rare sight of Leo Robbins. I was amazed when he proposed the vacation and I got the hunch that he wanted to spend more time with me. So many thoughts were crawling into my mind and I struggled to keep calm as well as to control my emotions. My happiness was almost short-lived when he said he'd be announced the new chairman of the group in a couple of weeks which meant that I'd soon be relieved of my wifely duties. However I choose to enjoy the moment and claim whatever I could get in the present. When we arrived at our resort in Maldives, my mind wandered back to Max who had also dreamt of traveling there with
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 48. Are we in love?
EMILY POVTalk about the highest level of embarrassment. I had just made a fool of myself right in front of my crush. He ran over to me and helped me up. I had a small scratch on my knees and I was more grateful because I had no bruise on my face. That would destroy the entire holiday. Leo carried me back in bridal style into our suite. He quickly got first aid and applied an ointment on the spot. I bowed my head so I could avoid his eyes. He began to laugh when he realized my whole face was flushed due to the shame of falling on my face.“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything so you can look at my face,” he said. His comment made me feel worse and I stood up abruptly.“I… We… Are we still touring the resort today? Or I can just rest in the room,” I said in one breath. It was quite obvious that I wanted to avoid him.“What about going scuba diving?” he asked.“You can do that. I’ll just stand by the beach and cheer you on,” I replied.“Cheer me on? I don’t need anyone to cheer me on,” h
