The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 86. Start Of A Pregnancy Saga
EMILY POVAfter Kay left, my heart beat faster and my hands trembled. I had gone deeper into the hornet's nest and there was no going back. I rushed into my car and held the steering wheel but my hand still trembled. I felt suffocated so I turned on the air conditioner. My phone beeped with a notification; a message from Leo which read: Prepared something special for you tonight. Be expecting you by 7pm. Don't be late!The phone dropped from my hand as soon as I read the message. I wondered how he would react when he finally got to know about our child. "What if he kicks me out without making the remaining payment of our contract?" I mumbled and placed my head on the steering wheel. "What have I done? What have I done?" I cried. I started the car and zoomed off to the villa. One of the maids got my bag while Martha hurried down the stairs to meet me."Welcome back, Ma'am," she said."The whole house is on fire! Who's cooking?" I asked, taking in the aroma of the food."Mr. Leo said h
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 87. An Anonymous Package
EMILY POVMy legs grew heavy and I felt lightheaded as I made my way to the elevator with the other workers. I could not work overtime because I suddenly felt scared. I had a tingling feeling that someone was watching me because how could they know about Max. Although Julius already knew, I wondered if Kay knew. If he did, he would have threatened me with the knowledge but he didn't which meant that he was not aware of Max's existence. "Ma'am, we're at the ground floor," one of the workers said as they waited for me to exit before leaving. It was a sort of respect for me as Leo's wife. "Thank you. I'm so sorry," I said and bowed then left the elevator area. I walked out of the building and instantly saw Jude parking in front of me."I hope I didn't keep you waiting," I said and managed to smile."You did but the order came straight from Leo. He'll bury me alive if I don't get you to the party," he replied and I laughed heartily. Being with Jude made me forget my worries for a while
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 88. Pregnancy Saga II
EMILY POVLeo was silent till we got home. I could not even face him after I reacted the way I did. The moment we stepped into the house, I rushed to the staircase."Emily, we need to talk," Leo's deep voice echoed in the room. I froze on the spot. Then I turned to face him. He dropped his coat on the chair and placed his hands on his hips. "If it's about my reaction in the car, I already apologized. I was just worked up," I said to cover up my anxiety."You don't even know if that's what I'm about to say," he said with his eyes looking distractingly at me. "Crap! I just got caught," I mumbled."You've been acting weird lately. You space out a lot and you can't provide a tangible reason for doing so. Is something bothering you? And if it's somebody, you can tell me. I'll have it under control," he said and held my shoulders. I instantly felt the urge to scream that I was pregnant and Kay was after my life but I held it in."I…I need to tell you something," I said."I'm listening," h
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 89. So Near Yet So Far
EMILY POVIt was as though the man in question had mastered the placement of the CCTV cameras. He had his back turned to the cameras at the entrance and he ensured not to turn his face until he wore a helmet. "Shit!!! I can't believe this," I screamed. The control room staff as well as other members who had watched our previous conversation were startled by my outburst. I still didn't care because I wasn't myself anymore. I needed clarity. There were just too many situations coming at me at once and I had no one to share them with. My legs staggered as I stepped out of the room. Then my stomach growled which meant I had to take something. I had not eaten any meal since I left home in the morning. When I arrived at the company cafeteria, there was a long queue because it was lunch break. Due to my unstable disposition, I decided to get my meal from the cafe instead of heading out for lunch. "Good afternoon madam," some of the employees echoed as they saw me."You don't have to join
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 90. The Lid Is Off
LEO POVI was worried about Emily. We had started getting close so I could tell when she was anxious. She always had a certain glow that radiated all over her which was quite endearing but it burned down all of a sudden. She became touchy like she did when we were in the car back from the seminar. She even turned down my offer to watch movies and left for work earlier than usual. I could sense that she was hiding something from me but I could not tell what it was. I wasn't her confidant but we still shared a bit of information about ourselves. She would not feel so nervous around me if the matter did not concern me. After getting dressed for work, I sauntered to the dining room."Did Emily tell you anything?" I asked Martha as she placed a bowl of fruits before me after serving the main meal."No, she didn't. She left early while we cleaned the house," she replied. I nodded then ate my breakfast while pondering on endless thoughts about Emily. After I was done eating, I drove to the
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 91. At A Crossroad
LEO POV"You should say that to yourself because you're the disgrace here. We had a deal!" I yelled then barged out of the room. My head felt like it would explode. I could never imagine that Emily would be pregnant. It was never an idea that I pondered on. I walked out of the hospital to my car then kicked the tires as if they were the source of my woes. I was not ready for a real marriage. Even though I had already fallen for Emily, I was still processing the thought of keeping her as a wife. My feelings were novel and I wanted to explore them, get to know her better and confirm if I was truly in love with her. My head was banging loudly so I went into my car and drove out of the hospital. I rode back and walked straight to the doctor after a few hours of thinking. It did me no good though. I was so mad at her and I was not ready to become a father. Not just yet. It was too sudden. The child could not be mine. It would be Max's, the man for whom she had been spacing out these few d
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 92. Desperate Situations Calls For Desperate Actions
LEO POV"You were not deaf when I talked about getting an abortion last night or did you think I was joking?" I asked. She gawked at me and tears swelled up in her eyes. She stood from her position and faced me squarely."I guess you were not deaf as well because I clearly stated that I would never get a abortion. I'll deliver this child whether you accept it or not," she said, gritting her teeth. We were looking into each other's eyes as if our eyeballs were at war. "Fine then!" I exclaimed and walked to her closet. She followed behind me and was startled when I suddenly dragged her shoes down from rack and pulled her cloths off her hanger."Get the hell out of my house! I gave you two options didn't I? You either choose me or Max and that baby," I fumed."So this is all about Max? You don't even know who he is? You simply heard me say his name and you jumped to conclusions? You're such an hypocrite. How did I ever think that you had changed?" she said."Great speech but I don't giv
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 93. Sacred Reality
LEO POV"To be honest, it is quite dangerous to have an abortion at her stage. She's in her second trimester," Dr. Fred said."I need you to conduct a test. I can't follow mere words. I need evidence," I said to the doctor then turned to face Emily. "You can't force a child on me. I won't allow it," I said.The doctor had Emily sit on a chair to calm her down as she cried endlessly. I could not stand her tears so I moved out of the room. My guard stood behind as I sat on the chair in the hallway. Then a nurse walked in and Emily was taken to the examination room. As she threw a glance at me, all I could see in her eyes was hate. My emotions were getting the better of me but I could not be swayed. She was the architect of all the problems. She started it. I was not the bad guy. I only had priorities and a sudden pregnancy out of the blues was out of the question. I waited for a few minutes before the results were out. By the time I walked into the office, Emily was seated in the corne

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
