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
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
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. Besides, my family was getting too complicated so I needed to sort things out. "My bad! I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. She really looks the part," the woman said and laughed. Emily replied her with a smile and we left the stall. We drove home in silence with a gentle song blaring out of the stereo.A FEW DAYS LATER"Your father instructed that he would be expecting you by 7pm. What should I do?" Jude asked. My focus was on my computer screen as I waited for Emily to show up. I wanted to have lunch with her. Since we spent
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
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
LEO POV"In a hurry to leave when I can give all your want for free in just a few minutes," she seductively said and moaned. I shut my eyes and pushed her aside but she would not move. She held her leg high to my waist, circled her arms around me and kissed my chest. I could feel my muscles grow tense so I forcefully pushed her off. "If you're too dumb then allow me to ring the bells in your ears. I'll pass. I don't want to have anything to do with you so get lost," I yelled. My voice caught the attention of the other men but Zane calmed them then moved to my side."She's serving her purpose. Why hurt her? I deliberately brought her since you always loved her services at the club," Zane said."Not anymore. Are you even listening to yourself? Emily's right outside there. Imagine what she'll think of me if she finds out about this?" I said with a worried look on my face."What would she think? This isn't your first time, man. Have fun! Or did someone kidnap the real Leo?" he teased."T
LEO POVI placed my lips on hers and without hesitation, her lips pressed mine. Her lips were warm and soft. I could feel her body pressed against mine and my grip tightened on her waist as I moved my hands to her hips. I lifted her off the bed while we were still kissing and held her against the wall. Her lips explored mine then I moved from her lips to her neck down to her chest. She moaned excitedly and grabbed my hair. I moved from the wall and dropped her gently on the bed. I unzipped her dress then kissed her gently and carefully while expecting her reaction. She might lose it like she always did whenever I tried to have sex with her but she was already absorbed by pleasure. I smiled as I felt her hands in my hair. She lightly touched my back with her hands exploring my muscles down to my pants. She unzipped it and pulled her dress down. I felt her hot breath on my skin and she moaned loudly as my lips pressed on the top of her breasts."Are you not done, Leo? He wants to call
EMILY POV"You never cease to amuse me. You're my wife for goodness sake," Leo said."Manners, please. Someone might be listening," I whispered."Why are we whispering again?" he said and laughed. I was short of words because there was no where to hide. Leo was obviously in love with me which was great news. However, it felt like a path with a dead end. He had not said a word about keeping me with him forever. He avoided the topic of our contract. He was not even ready to clarify our relationship but I needed to know. I wanted to define the kind of relationship we had. After he almost had his way with me the previous day, I needed to thread carefully. My inner mind echoed that he could not be trusted. He could be one of those men that would go extra miles to get the cookie but was I even worth the stress? I had pondered over it and the best solution was to avoid him. I decided to stay away till he was elected the chairman. I still could not figure out what to do with our child but
