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
