The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 73. Annabel Stirs Trouble
EMILY POVI wore a cream long gown with a thigh slit. Leo proudly held my hand as we made our way through the crowd and cameras flashed in our eyes. “How do you feel about this partnership with your husband’s ex-girlfriend’s company?” a reporter asked all of a sudden. My blood grew hot and I clenched my fist."What sort of question is that?" Leo replied and pulled me away.I gritted my teeth and calmed my angry nerves.The event's moderator beckoned on us to join her as well as Annabelle. Then she gestured to Leo and Annabelle to hold a large pair of scissors as they officially opened the building. Then the crowd applauded as they cut the ribbon. I could see Annabelle holding Leo's hand as she drew close to him."How nice to see you after our previous encounter," I said as I grabbed Leo's arm."It's nothing nice and I won't pretend to be happy about it," she replied. I was startled because she was too blunt."Well, that's your problem not mine," I replied and pulled Leo's hand. "Can
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 74. Hunt For The Sabotager
LEO POVEmily had earned my trust and respect with how she carried herself and this new plan of hers. I smiled sheepishly as we stood in the garage and waited for Jude to show up. Then he did and our suspect snuck up behind him. Jude pretended to drop something in the car and his phone rang. I had called him apparently as part of our plan. Then our suspect rushed to the car when Jude wasn’t looking but he was shocked to see an empty folder.“Are you surprised?” I asked, coming out of my hiding place with Emily. Jude also turned to face him and we had him cornered.“Mr. Leo,” he said, jittering in fear.“Follow me,” I said and he walked behind me nervously while Jude walked beside me.“How did you do it?” I asked.“Well, like Emily had said. I pretended to make a phone call that Fleece Group had the wrong design and that was why they found missing parts. Then I said the original design was right there with me as I headed to the car,” he explained.“And he took the bait,” I said and sm

LEO POV"Have you ever wondered how your mother died?" Kay asked."Don't bring my mother into this conversation. She has nothing to do with this," I replied."She has everything to do with this," he said. My blood boiled and I grabbed my pocket knife, crossed over to him and held it to his throat."Don't you dare talk to me about that woman. If you think that would weaken my resolve, you're damn joking with yourself," I said. He laughed hysterically once more then glared at me."Take that silly thing off my throat. If you knew what I'm about to tell you, you wouldn't be so proud of yourself. You've always hated your mother for false reasons. That woman, even though I never liked you guys, she was still nice to me. May her soul rest in perfect peace," he said with mock horror."I'm done here. I'll make sure that Father and the entire world knows about what you've done," I threatened and moved away from him."Your mother never hurt father," he shouted so I could hear him before reachin
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 76. A Friend In Need
EMILY POVI was not surprised when the employee confessed that Kay had put him up to steal the designs. After he roped me in an infidelity scandal at work then tried to kiss me forcefully, I knew he was capable of worse things. However, I didn't expect Leo to react the way he did. While I thought he hated Kay, he still loved him as his brother, hence the disappointment. I was afraid we would get into an accident when he sped to the Robbins mansion but we did not. Then he rushed into the house and I missed the direction he went. I didn't want to ask the maids because they could be gossipers. Though a few of them noticed. Surprisingly, I made my way to Kay's study and heard the men talking. They were having a heated conversation so I stood by the door and eavesdropped their conversation. My jaw dropped when I heard that Mr. Robbins had killed his wife. I knew there was something off about the man but I could not pinpoint what it was. He had an evil aura around him and that would expl
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 77. A Date To Remember
EMILY POVMy eyes wore a surprised look and my jaw dropped. I wondered if Let was out to make his father pay already."What?! What did you just say to me?" Mr. Robbins yelled."I mean I can handle it myself. You don't need to get involved, Father. We are adults not teenagers. Kay knows the gravity of what he's done. I'll be expecting you in NYC soon," Leo replied and cut the call. I could deduce that he was controlling his temper as he spoke. I moved closer to him and patted his shoulder. "What do you think about taking the day off and spending time with me? I could show you my favorite artistic pieces at the museum," I suggested "I'd love that. I'll reach out to Jude to inform him. Meanwhile, can you keep my parents secret between us. I don't even want Jude to know about it," he said. My heart was filled with joy because he could trust me with such vital information. "Of course. Nobody needs to know," I replied.We ate breakfast in silence while I kept stealing glances at him. Aft
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 78. To Fall Or Not, Emily?
LEO POV"Thanks for the compliment ma'am but we are not expecting. My wife's just putting on weight," I said and smiled at her face. I could not explain Emily's reaction because her face held no smile or frown. Meanwhile, there was no way we could be expecting. Emily had ensured that I never touched her. I had always clamored to have sex with her but I recently re-evaluated my desire. I wanted more from her. However, a real marriage was out of the question.

The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 79. A Green Snake Under The Green Grass
LEO POV"One, you press charges against me with all the rubbish evidence you have and I expose the truth about father or you let sleeping dogs lie and I zip up," Kay threatened."I don't care about what you do," I replied and continued walking but he stopped me."Foolish boy! If the truth about Father gets into the media today, do you think you'll be safe? Everything you've worked on for over ten years would be washed down the drain. Everyone would turn against R&B Group. And the stigma. Do you still not care?" Kay asked and laughed hysterically. His devilish laughter made my blood boil. I ignored him and went down the stairs where I found Emily."Let's go," I said in anger."Are you done already?" she asked."That's not your concern. Head to the car," I replied and unlocked the car. "Oh crap! I dropped my ear phone," I said then walked back into the house. I was almost at the entrance of the living room when I heard Father and Kay discussing."If you know what's good for you, tell Le
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 80. Falling Heads Over Heels For Her
LEO POV"When would you learn to control your temper? You don't even care to listen. You just act. I could not sleep because I was worried about you and all you could say was that it was none of my concern. How did you expect me to feel? Even if we have an employer and employee relationship, I can still have a little bit of compassion right?" she said."And I'm terribly sorry for that. I could not believe my ears yesterday. I had never felt so betrayed in my entire life. I kept wondering why Father gave me those shares and told me to keep you…," I said but stopped midway. I must not disclose that Father wanted me to keep her by my side so as to carry on his so called mysterious empire. She nodded as if she knew what I was referring to. "Kay knows more than he revealed to you. You have to be careful about them. This has gone beyond a simple brothers fight. Your Father can't curb Kay's excesses anymore. He also has this secret as a weapon to coerce you to do whatever he wants," she sai

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?"

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.
