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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 94. Love Or Infatuation
LEO POV"It's fine since it's your decision," she replied then stood up from the chair. "I only have one request," she added."And you think you're still in the position to make a request?" I asked."It's for everyone's good. I would like to guide my team on the new project before leaving. It was my idea and I won't have anyone take my spotlight or ruin the project. At least, grant me this as a reward for my relentless efforts towards the company's success," she replied."Very well then. You have just a week," I responded then she left the room.*********I had just finished a meeting with some government top officials when Jude showed up at the entrance of R&B headquarters building. He was the only one missing from my entourage. "Where were you? I almost collapsed from anxiety!" he screamed, drawing the attention of everyone in the reception hall."Calm down, man!" I said and he followed me to my office while the onlookers stood, puzzled by his reaction."Don't ever pull such a stu
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 95. A Step Closer To The Real Emily
LEO POV"What about Max? Remember that we're also in a contract marriage," I said."Why should Max matter if you love her? You're Leo Robbins. You can get any woman you want so fighting for Emily should not be hard. And if you truly love her, accepting your child should not become a messy situation," Jude said."What if it's not love. What if it's just infatuation?" I blurted out. Jude shot me an 'I'm tired of this' stare and dropped a wine glass. "Then you need to take rest because your brain is messed up pretty bad," he replied and helped me to the car.********The curtains opened automatically as I woke up the next morning. I took my bath and prepared to leave for the gym. The entire house seemed to be too alive than it usually was when I arrived at the living room."What's with the noise all over the place? Can't you guys do cleaning quietly?" I yelled and almost immediately, Martha showed up out of nowhere and bowed."Good morning, sir," she greeted."What's good about the morn
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 96. Mea Culpa
LEO POVI raised my head to face Jude instantly. "Come again. Max is who?" I asked."She had a younger brother who is in his last year in high school. His name is Max. From the information I gathered, he was kidnapped a few days before you met Emily. Then his abductors had allegedly dropped him in front of the apartment and ran off. He had been in a coma ever since," Jude explained.I held my head with my hands then kicked my table. I was a complete idiot to think she had a lover. She had been concerned about her unconscious brother but I was insensitive to accuse her of infidelity which I was guilty of. I browsed through the document and found the name of the hospital where he was admitted. I held the document, picked my car keys and hurried to my car. Jude could not stop me as I sped out of the company's environment before he could reach me.I rushed into the hospital and requested to meet Max Jones but was denied access. No matter what I said, it made no sense to them."Even if he
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 97. Reality Check
LEO POVEmily could not take her eyes off me nor could she take the gifts from me. "Take them. They're yours," I urged her."Are you feeling okay?" she asked. My actions warranted such a question and I deserved it."I'm totally fine. You were not at the office today," I said."You ordered me to stay away from the company so I only visit when it's urgent. I can direct my team through my phone," she explained and looked away. I bit my lower lip as I was confused about what to do next. I sat beside her on the bed and she flinched."I know that I've been hard on you these past few days but can we call it truce?" I said."Call it truce? Can you hear yourself right now? We don't have to pretend that we're friends. I'll be gone before you know it," she said and stood up from my side. I stood up as well and faced her."If this is about the baby, it's fine. You win, okay? I know that the baby is mine," I blurted out. She suddenly started laughing which was quite unsettling and I was baffled m
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 98. He Eats A Humble Pie
EMILY POVIt was strange. After Leo rejected our baby and promised to dissolve our contract in a week, I wasn't myself anymore. I was in love with him yet he did not love me like I felt he did. He even had the guts to carry me like a fugitive to the hospital. I decided to steer clear of him so that I could forget him and probably stop loving him. However, the pain was unbearable. He was everywhere I turned at work and at home. Then all of a sudden, he came home with presents after he had rejected my food and treated me like a leper. I could not understand what was going on. I thought he was sick or I was hallucinating but it was real. Leo was trying all he could to make me forgive him. He sent me gifts and I caught him staring at me several times. It was as if he had encountered a divine power because his attitude change was unexplainable. When we got to the hospital and he talked about Max, I knew that he had gotten someone to do a background check on me. Something he felt was unne

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.

LEO POV"Fill me in," I said "She has her eyes on Mrs. Emily. My men, I've gotten the necessary information to bring her in. She will execute her plans in a few days. 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. While I'd ensure that the house had strict surveillance from time to time, I had decided never to visit the house again.A MONTH LATEREmily had been moving around nonstop since we woke up that morning.

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.

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.

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? I only care about you. I could not sleep all night because you were in pain. I woke up early to prepare your favorite soup so you can get enough strength.

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
