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.
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 63. A new mystery
EMILY POV"Mr. Robbins would like to see you now, Mrs. Emily," one of the household waiters said."Did you hear some voices just now?" I whispered."I heard none. Please, let's head to the dining hall," he replied. I gawked at him because his denial seemed implausible. I felt uneasy as I followed him to the dining hall. My body grew hot and I felt curious. Something seems wrong and the entire Robbins Estate looked suspicious to me. The estate was so large and I wondered if people had ever been to all the areas on the land. There was no doubt that the Robbins family were rich but an estate was not so necessary. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked Leo the minute I saw me discussing with some other guests. He nodded and I pulled him to a corner of the room."I just heard some suspicious voices in the garden. I know it might seem unbelievable but things are going on in this house that you do not know," I said with bated breath."What did you hear?" he asked, folding his arms over hi
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 64. Revealing the real Kay
KAY POVAs I drove into the Robbins Estate, I recalled that Father had invited me to Leo and Emily’s dinner party but I was not interested in whatever they were doing. The couple’s existence made me sick and I struggled to keep a happy face around them. Leo had always been my sworn enemy. I never liked the fact that my father impregnated my mother and ditched her with the baby. Then he came for me when I was two years old after my mother’s death and brought me to his newly married pregnant wife. I envied the love he showed to the woman while my mother died of emotional strain. His love for the other woman was also expressed to her son who was an all rounder. He had been a smarty pants since he was two. Then he exceled in sports, spelling bees, debates and other extra curricular activities in school which made him my father’s favorite. Although, father tried to mask his feelings, anyone could tell that he loved the woman and her son. Then tragedy struck and Leo was left with no moth
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 65. All the guns out to win over Leo
EMILY POVI froze when I saw Kay staring at me but I acted as if nothing had happened. I wanted to tell him what I had seen but on second thoughts, he was not a good person so I kept it to myself. He stopped me as I turned to return to my room and backed me to a corner. Then he caressed my cheeks and brought his lips closer to mine. I was shocked by his gesture. It was disgusting to see him making moves on me after all he had put me through. He was even my brother-in-law which made it worse. I could not control my anger and I landed a hot slap on his face. It turned red instantly and I raced to my room and locked the door. He would have pulled me back but I bet he didn't expect my reaction. "What's going on? Why are you panting?" Leo asked as he yawned and sat upright."Nothing! You should go back to sleep," I replied and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror for minutes. I couldn't fathom what Kay wanted from me. I could not decide whether to inform Leo or keep it to mysel
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 66. Date night gone wrong
EMILY POV“We’ve talked about this, Emily. I don’t think a date is necessary,” Leo said and walked over to his swivel chair. I raced after him and faced him squarely, placing my hands at the edges of his chair so he could not stand up.“I know we’ve talked about this and I’m not asking for anything huge. Just a simple date,” I said and paced the room slowly. “All these would be over soon and I’ll return to my former life so I could as well enjoy it when I have the chance,” I explained.He heaved a deep sigh and kept his focus on me for what seemed like hours.“Alright! Meanwhile, don’t bother to change the dress. It looks breathtaking on you,” he said, taking his face off me and typing on his tablet. I giggled with excitement and hurried out of his office after we fixed a time for seven in the evening. Leo’s driver called to pick me up when it was time and I met him sitting in the car when I got to the garage. He was also busy with his phone so we exchanged pleasantries and experien
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 67. His Sabotage
EMILY POV"Did you do something terrible? Why are you stuttering?" he asked."No! Of course not!" I exclaimed to cover my visible fear. "Since I am a major contributor to the partnership project, can I get a small percentage of shares?" I asked as I quickly changed my request."You know that's impossible. We can't have any connection after the end of the contract. What about an increment in your salary and the remaining half payment?" he asked.I shouted excitedly and threw myself at him. I had been earning quite well since I signed the contract with Leo. On a side was my actual payment and on the other was my salary which was quite a sizeable amount. He was surprised by my reaction but he pulled away from me."See you tomorrow," he said and exited the room. He was avoiding any contact with me like a plague. I guessed it was due to his father's persistent comment about his approval of me. FEW DAYS LATERDue to the success of our partnership and the completion of the building before i
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 68. An Unintended Date
EMILY POV"She has nothing to do with this. Don't even think about it. I know her and what she's capable of. It was someone else who knew I was developing something," Leo replied.I heaved a sigh as I heard him defend me. That was unlike him but I guessed he was starting to trust me for real."Okay, then! I will work out the other details and our next line of action with Mr. Jude," the lawyer said."Alright," Leo replied and ended the call.I rushed back to my previous spot and pretended to look over the water."So where were we?" he asked, standing beside me and holding the railings. "At the point where your phone rang and you picked the call," I replied and let out a laugh. He grinned as well."I didn't know you could unwind this way. I felt it was always about women and clubbing and…," I said while gesturing but as our faces met, I stopped midway. "Sorry, I don't mean to offend you. I'm just surprised," I quickly added."It's no problem. I know that you think I'm a jerk, flirting w

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.

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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 152. Leo Pays The Price
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?

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
