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

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"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

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

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
