The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 55. Leo loses face
LEO POV"Father and the board must have seen this. This is a deliberate act to spoil my image. The person did a lot of optimization to get it to trend in no time. Get through to our PR department so that they can start a quick damage control. I need to solve this immediately. Nothing can stop me from becoming the chairman," I said and cut the call. 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. "How about we go to work together? There's a secret room that is only kn

LEO POV"That means you guys should move fast. Get the best hacker to do the job. I know the poster has not been located because he's also good but I want someone better. Get a message across to him and offer him a hundred thousand dollars. We'll move from there," I said. Jude nodded and walked swiftly out of my office. I stood up and paced the grounds of my office. I took out my phone and the notifications that came in could make it explode. I shut it off then a call came in. It was from Emily. I hesitated then finally picked the call."What do you want?" 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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 57. Bitten the second time
LEO POV"He has to stop the video from loading, sir. We've got only a minute left before it goes out," Jude said, placing the system in front of him. One of the men stood at his back and another in front of him. They untied one of his hands and he stopped the video before it was posted. The hacker we had found came in immediately and took the computer. He began to work on deleting all the pictures and videos as well as pulling the blog down. While we focused on pulling the blog down, he tried to get himself out of the man's grip and bit his arm but the man was quick to hold him firmly. The men had the poster's hand tied back to the chair. He was starting to grow weak and his body was drenched in blood and sweat."Did you say Emily, my wife, instructed you to post those videos?!" I yelled."Yes, she did. I was simply doing my job," he said and began to cough. I stood up and signaled to one of the men. He hit the poster's head with his hand and when it hit the spot, the poster lost c
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 58. Emily in shambles
EMILY POVI had been so worried about Leo all day. I would have kept calling him but that might make me a nuisance. The day was a long one with the company in an uproar. I saw so many faces I had never seen before although I spent the most part of the day in my office. I was sure that the employees would bombard me with several questions if I showed up. There would also be numerous gossips too and I could not stand them. I left the company late into the night and Leo's personal driver took me home. After undressing, I could not eat dinner. My mind was filled with thoughts of Leo and what he might be going through. I decided to stand by the porch and wait for him to arrive because I could not sit around and do nothing. However, Leo's reaction was not what I had expected. It was the second time he had laid a serious accusation against me."I would never do something like that to you. You know I would never do it," I said."I don't know. I don't know you and the kind of person you've
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 59. An attempt to clear her name
EMILY POVOn second thoughts, I contemplated what her actions would be if she found out that I was in a contract marriage and my pregnancy must not be revealed. It would be quite awkward to tell my story."I'm worried about carrying a baby for a man who's always in such a mess," I said and I needed no one to tell me that I sounded stupid.Dr. Maureen let out another laugh and held my hand across the table."That's what marriages are, my darling. Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour. Since you love him, work things out with your man. It's already good since you have a little baby coming your way," she said and it made me sad. I wished the baby was out of the way so I would leave the marriage with no regrets or pain."Keep your stress level down. Don't think too hard about it. You've been doing great with the baby and you'll be past your trimester soon. Once you start showing, you'll have to be extra careful," she advised."Thank you, Doctor," I said and grabbed my bag."Have you checked on
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 60. Emily meets the poster
EMILY POVI heaved a deep sigh and my lips shaped into a beautiful smile."To everyone who was concerned about me, I appreciate you all. I am so grateful for your love and support. However, I beseech you all to refrain from attacking my husband. I love Leo deeply and can't bear to see him hurt. My husband might have been a playboy before we got married but I am confident that he has never cheated on me after our wedding. You've all been our pillar of support and I wish that you would continue to support us in providing you the best services and products through R & B Groups. Thank you," I said and Jude helped me climb down the podium. Some of the reporters still wanted to ask questions but I gave them no audience. I stepped out of the conference room and the face that stared back at me made me tremble. Leo was there, in his suit and his face held no emotion. When the journalists realized that he was standing outside with me, they all left the conference room to take pictures of us.
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 61. The Truth unveils
EMILY POV His face was filled with terror and he struggled to be free from the chair that held him captive. "Do you want to run now? But we have a deal," I said with sarcasm. "I'm… I'm terribly sorry. I was only doing my job," he cried. I bent low in front of him and held his chin up. "I don't care about your job or your life. I want to know who ordered you to fill my husband with lies about me," I said and pushed his chin aside. I stood from my bent position and looked at his face squarely. "Spill it before I break all your arms and tear you into shreds," I threatened. I could never do all I had said but I needed to act tough to get the information from him. "I can't recognize the person's face. She said that if I was caught at any time, I must state that Emily Robbins put me up to it. The only thing I noticed was that she was Leo Robbins ex-girlfriend," he said. I was overwhelmed with anger as I stared at him. I grabbed a knife from one of the men and approached the poster but
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 62. An unattempted discovery
EMILY POV"You really do not know so much about your husband, do you? She once had your husband wrapped all around her finger and she can still do it again. I'm not trying to badmouth her but it's the truth. I have wanted to inform you about this since the gathering but I haven't been able to do so," she said.I was shocked to my marrow and struggled to stay composed."If I get what you're saying, Annabel was my husband's ex-girlfriend who had also slept with him?" I asked."That's right. Since I saw you at the gathering, I've loved your energy and dedication. To be sincere, Leo Robbins does not deserve you. I know all about his flirty scheme because my fiancé owns the hotel he frequents. I do not mean to spoil your happy day but I'd feel guilty if I keep it to myself," she said."It's fine, Vera. Thanks for the information," I said.”You're welcome, Emily. Have a wonderful day," she said and left. My mind played back my last meeting with Annabelle and how she had spoken ill of Leo.

LEO POV"Calm down, young men. You don't need to shut each other up. 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. Then she stops in front of me and folded her arms over her chest."Why are you here? I felt you would be at the gallery," I said."I was supposed to until I learned that I was the target for a

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. "Let's go," I said and we walked down the driveway to the entrance of the estate. Then I directed my men to lock up the gate. While I'd ensure that the house had strict surveillance from time to time, I had decided never to visit the house again.A MONTH LATEREmily had been moving around nonstop since we woke up that morning.

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. IN THE EVENINGWe arrived at the health center where those who were addicted were kept. I met Dane who rushed to my side the minute he saw me."Thank you, Mr. Leo. Thanks so much for bringing my s

LEO POVEmily wrapped her arms around me then patted my back. I rested my head on her shoulders as I wept. I was opwning up completely to her."I'm scared. I know I'm not supposed to be. I'm Leo Robbins, Forbes billionaire with several accolades to my name. I shouldn't be shaken by this but it's too much to take in," I said."You're Leo Robbins, the tough guy but you're also human as well. It's been a lot these past few weeks but you overcame. 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

You're hurt all over, Leo. You can't even walk properly," she said."That does not give you the right to shut me in. I need to know what's going on. 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 asked."Jude stated that I should keep you away from the news and let you rest for the day. I completely agree with him and would do as he says," she said."And I said that I'm not interested in resting. Is that so hard to understand?" I asked."Why are you like this, Leo? I only care about you. I could not sleep all night because you were in pain. I woke up early to prepare your favorite soup so you can get enough strength. I'm doing all I can to get you back into shape so please, don't disrupt it," she

LEO POVI rushed to the railings to catch his hand but it was too late. He fell off the bridge and hit his head hard on the ground. The other team members arrived as back up. "Kay's down there. You've got to check him. He must not die," I said. He's yet to pay for his crimes and see how much evil he has done. I wanted him to witness excruciating pain like he made others go through.

LEO POV"You should stay here and keep an eye on them," I said."The others can. Let me follow you. That was why you hired us. To protect you. I'm with you on this mission," Silas said. 'Let's go!" 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!!! Do you think you would ever escape?" I yelled."Stay away from me, Leo. You have everything. Tak
