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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 99. When Two Hearts Meet
EMILY POVI fed on Leo's medicine-sweet lips till I ran out of breath. My heart was racing and my head went blank. I pressed my hands against his chest which was my signal to break the kiss. His eyes met mine and he embraced me without restrictions, as if he just got free from a bondage.While we drove home, I stole glances at him. It was a hilarious thing to do and I enjoyed every bit of it. Leo pretended not to see me while I looked at him. It was like a dream. One I had been wishing and waiting for a long time. He grabbed my hand and pulled it closer to him as if its warmth was the fuel he needed to drive. I giggled and held his hand firmly. The night breeze was filled was chilly, perfect for our ride and I wished the drive wouldn't end. We were almost at the villa when I had a distracting thought. I wanted to tell Leo about the mysterious packages but I could not. I wasn't sure if he was to be trusted with the information especially since it was about his family. Nevertheless, I w
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 100. A Knight In Shining Armor
EMILY POV"That's right! She should know better because she is my wife and she has every right to everything in my company. Her only fault was going to that office and making her request like a low level employee," Leo said and looked my way. I was marveled by his words. It was the least of my expectations. Then he turned to face Alice with his his daredevil glare."And you should know better than to bring this before the board, wasting our time when we have more important things to do. If you care to know, the young man you claimed had been suspended is working peacefully in his station so if you would not mind, I want us to get back to the salient issues at hand," Leo said. I wanted to scream and embrace him. It made me so proud to be his wife. He was the husband I had always wanted. My prince charming and knight in shining armor. After packing my things, I exited the room while Leo didn't share as much as a glance at me. I bet it was all pretense and I could not help but smile.***
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 101. A Visit To The Hood
EMILY POV"Why?" Leo asked."I don't want to leave Max anymore. I don't know what might happen if we leave. I want to stay close to him," I explained. Since I discovered that Justin knew about Max, Kay found me at the same hospital and the person responsible for the anonymous packages also knew about him, I decided to stay around him. I would stay in New York till he gets out of the coma."Does anyone know about Max?" he asked. It was my opportunity to expose Justin but I could not afford to risk hurting my brother. The anonymous package was also about Leo's family which meant there was more to the events unfolding."Not really. I just want him to be safe," I replied."Then I can get an elite team of guards to stay around his room and keep him protected while we're on our trip," he suggested.THE NEXT DAY"I hope that we do not get caught. You're a public figure and I'm your wife with a fake identity. We could get in serious trouble if someone recognizes us," I said as we approached m
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 102. Surety
EMILY POVI stepped out of the jacuzzi after taking a cold bath. It was what I needed to get refreshed after our encounter with Crystal. Leo was a little bit quieter than he used to be, which was a cause for concern. I wore an attractive nightgown just to charm him for the night. While he worked on his laptop like he always did, I appeared beside him on the bed."Can you place that aside and just relax for the night. This could be a business trip but it's also an opportunity to take a break," I said, closing his laptop and setting it aside on my table. He stared at me for a few seconds then breathed in and held me close."You don't need to do so much to cheer me up. Crystal means nothing to me. I just get the feeling that she wouldn't appear in Europe and at our exact resort without a reason. She's up to no good like she always is," Leo explained."Had she done something before?" I asked."Almost duped me of millions of dollars," he replied."Really? And she had the guts to show up he
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 103. An Attack On Her
EMILY POV"Get your hands off me, Crystal!" I yelled but she wouldn't let go of my hair. It was fast becoming a scene as some concierges tried to separate us. Some of the guests held their phones to take videos of us. After we've been successfully separated, she continued hurling insults on me."You're just a no-good loafer who's trying to fit into a society she doesn't belong to. You're a nobody and a liar. You're…" she said but Leo's deep masculine voice interrupted her."Shut your mouth and don't you ever utter such words against my wife again," he yelled then whispered to Jude and a few guards who stood behind him. "Get those people to stop recording the video." Jude nodded and the other guards followed him while Leo pulled me to the pavilion. "Are you alright? Hope you're not hurt? Let me see your hair," he said."I'm fine and my hair's intact. Don't worry so much," I replied.Our eyes locked then he embraced me."I'm sorry for putting you through all these. It's my fault and I
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 104. Ladies! Time’s Out
LEO POVEmily's face held no expression as she stared at the caller ID then at my face. I was unsure of what to do. I wanted to have nothing to do with Annabel. Even our company's partnership had been delegated to another team. "What does she want with you?" Emily asked."Maybe to rant about how I cut her off," I replied."She'd better deal with it," Emily said then drew me closer to her. She wrapped her hands around my neck and got me back to the kiss while Annabel kept calling. *********"What do you want, Annabel?" I asked when I finally picked her call late in the night. We decided to spend the night at the penthouse and Emily had fallen asleep a few minutes after laying on the bed. I had a couple of documents to look through so I stayed awake and worked on them. At that moment, Annabel's call came in but I ignored it. A few times more and I could not bear it so I picked it up. "It's quite unfair for you to dump me the way you did, Leo. To think you promised that nothing would
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 105. A New Open Secret
LEO POV"What do you mean?" I said, sitting upright on the bed. I grabbed my phone and it was one of the top stories for the morning."Find out who did this. I want all the information on them," I ordered. I scrolled through the content and discovered that the person was still unaware of Max's condition. It only stated that he was a high schooler who suddenly went missing. I glanced at the other side of the bed and was surprised to see that the space was empty. My heart raced and I lept out of bed immediately. At first, I checked her former room. Then I climbed down the stairs to the dining room to see her sitting at the table. Her phone was in front of her and my mind went numb as I imagined what she must be feeling at the moment. Her hair served as a veil over her face but she looked at me the moment I walked in. Her face was stained with tears and her eyes were red from crying. She must have seen the news before I got the call from Jude."I knew it was a bad idea to lie about my b

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. Then she stops in front of me and folded her arms over her chest."Why are you here? I felt you would be at the gallery," I said."I was supposed to until I learned that I was the target for a

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. IN THE EVENINGWe arrived at the health center where those who were addicted were kept. I met Dane who rushed to my side the minute he saw me."Thank you, Mr. Leo. Thanks so much for bringing my s
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. I shouldn't be shaken by this but it's too much to take in," I said."You're Leo Robbins, the tough guy but you're also human as well. It's been a lot these past few weeks but you overcame. You set the wrongs right. Even if you're shaken, I'm here to support you," she said. I raised my face to look at her then lifted my head from her shoulder."If you had seen Kay's face. He had no remorse. He felt proud of everything he had done. He smiled and laughed as if he was doing the world a favor. When did he get so callous and inhumane. I might be q rogue or thug but we were not supposed to kill innocent people. Now, the protesters are out there and I also have to answer to those investigations.

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

LEO POV"Something of this magnitude is happening and you could not wake ulme up to inform me? How do I defend us if I lay sleeping at home?!" I yelled."I wanted you to rest. You're hurt all over, Leo. You can't even walk properly," she said."That does not give you the right to shut me in. I need to know what's going on. 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'm doing all I can to get you back into shape so please, don't disrupt it," she

LEO POVI rushed to the railings to catch his hand but it was too late. He fell off the bridge and hit his head hard on the ground. The other team members arrived as back up. "Kay's down there. You've got to check him. He must not die," I said. He's yet to pay for his crimes and see how much evil he has done. I wanted him to witness excruciating pain like he made others go through. The elite team members rushed to him and I followed as well even though I was limping. By the time we arrived at the place, he had lost consciousness and was bleeding profusely.

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
