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
EMILY POV“What’s sixty dollars for?” I asked, gripping the arm of my chair as if the world depended on it.“Just broke it down to make it simple for you to understand. For goodness sake, your husband’s a billionaire. You have just an hour to find me the money or… You already know,” Julius said with an annoying smile.“Wipe that wicked smile off your face. Who hired you? I won’t pay you a dime if you do not tell me,” I threatened.“Oops!! That’s your loss because I can just send it on all platforms right now. I have the drive here,” he said and smacked his lips. “On the contrary, I should let you in on it so that you can be more careful. I have to look out for my latest client,” he added and cackled with laughter. I was growing weak inside as I anticipated the revelation.“Well, Kay Robbins hired me to cause a scandal but the damn guy is a devil. He’s after me because I didn’t give him the video,” he said.“Why didn’t you?” I asked, hiding my surprise. Kay had been the villain from th
KAY POV"Damn! I'll make that guy pay," I fumed and increased the volume of the stereo in my car. Loud music was blaring out of it and I moved my hands to the rhythm. I drove my car past a corner and all of a sudden, I saw Julius and Emily together. My jaw dropped and I tightened my fist. Julius had gone one step ahead of me. I could tell because he had no dealings with her unless he decided to expose our secret; my secret. They were having a serious conversation and it seemed like she had handed a bag over to him."Is he blackmailing her?" I mumbled and sneered. "That bastard! She already knows about me. I can't have her spilling the truth to Leo at this time," I said and bent low behind the steering. Julius left her standing at the scene, rushed into a car and it sped into the street. I sat upright in the car and opened the door. Meanwhile, Emily was fidgeting as she held her car door knob and looked sideways. Surprisingly, she did not see. She rushed into her car and zoomed off.
