The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 49. A dream or reality?
EMILY POVOur faces were so close and his lips were almost on mine when I withdrew and stood up all of a sudden. The atmosphere grew tense and awkward but it was better than having sex with him. I was pregnant and I was not ready to lose the baby anymore since I had a fragile womb. I could not afford to have rough and passionate sex with a man who might not end up with me and ruin my life. Since none of us was ready to talk, I left the room. "Are you mad at me?" Leo asked after we had spent a few minutes apart. I was already at the villa with the palette and drawing board I had requested for."Of course not. I guess we can't do any swimming today so I decided to paint," I said."Alright! Let's get to it," he said."You want to join me?" I asked, startled by his surprising closeness. "We've discussed this," he said and sat beside me.

EMILY POVHis hand explored my underpants as he drew at it. He kissed me hard and long and I was lost in the passionate moment until he kissed my neck down to my chest. I recalled that I resolved not to have any kind of sex with any man till I delivered my baby. I was not ready to risk the only shot I had at being a mother so I opened my shut eyes. His lips brushed over my nipples and I moaned but I had to do something. “Stop! Stop, Leo! We can’t do this,” I screamed, pushing him off me.“What is that supposed to mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying,” he said.“I don’t know! All I know is that this is wrong and we should not do this,” I said covering my breasts.“You’re my wife so I don’t see anything wrong in having sex with you. Stop depriving me of what’s mine,” he yelled.“But I’m not your real wife. I’m just an employee as you always claim. I can’t do this.

EMILY POVUnknown to me, Leo went to his usual hangout the previous night to vent his anger about how nice he was to me and my unwillingness to give myself to him. While he was there, Annabel saw him at the bar and went to him. She seduced him and they both made love. I was the biggest fool in the universe but I did not know. I brought my problem to the cause of the problem in search of a solution. She was my rival yet I took her as a dear friend."Thank you, Emily. I feel so happy about it. I'll fill you in on the details soon," she said and winked at me. I chuckled and sighed."Is anything the problem? I was about to ask why you showed up here unannounced today. It's so unlike you," she said."I have a huge problem and I don't know how to fix it. You're the only friend I can share it with," I said."Let's hear it!" she said and I tried hard to mask my sad feelings with laughter."I had a fallout with Leo.

LEO POV"Have I done something wrong by bringing lunch to you? Jude said you haven't eaten today," she said "And how is that your concern? Get out of my office right now before I do something I might regret," I said. It was clear that my actions towards her were uncalled for but guilt had eaten me up. I could not even stand to look her directly in the eye. I just wanted peace from all the issues concerning women in my life. I had never had to battle with so much emotional strain and stress until Emily showed up. I never liked women. They were just playing things to me and I wanted nothing more but with Emily, I wanted so much more. Although, I felt hurt by her reaction. She has spurred me on by returning my advances but she suddenly had to cut me off with her harsh words. I could see tears gathering in her eyes as I ordered her to leave.

With all I had gone through that night, she was the relief I needed and I made love to her passionately. It became my greatest regret after I woke up in the morning and realized what I had done. Annabel was all over me, making a simple breakfast for me and smothering me with kisses."I have to go now," I said after taking my bath."But I just made you breakfast!" she exclaimed."I never told you that I was hungry," I replied."This isn't our first time together. You would always eat breakfast when I make one for you. What changed?" she asked."I don't have to explain myself to you or anybody. I'll send the money to you," I said "Is this about Emily again? You come to me in search of relief and I give you my enti

I made several calls as I dressed for work. I needed to get in before the pressmen did. When I stepped out of my room, I saw Emily at the end of the staircase. She had a worried look on her face as I approached her. "I just got off the phone with a team member who had to go to the office early today and she said the pressmen are already outside the office," she said. "I have it all under control. You don't have to worry about me," I said, walking out on her but I realized that she might take the biggest hit. The reporters would overcrowd her because she is my wife.

I asked."I want you to know that I'm here for you. No matter what anyone says, I'll be here to support you," she said. In a way, her words made sense to me. I felt calm and peace as I heard her voice."I appreciate the gesture. If it isn't comfortable for you, you can head home. I'll get a driver to take you so you don't get dragged out by those pressmen," I said."I'm fine. I can't run from this while you're trying so hard to sor
