11. Friends with Benefits

EMILY POV"Stop blowing things out of proportion," Leo said, shielding her to a corner. "What's your problem, woman? We both had fun and got benefits during our time together so why are you making a fuss out of nothing," he yelled.I guessed her confrontation was not as intense as she had in mind because she grabbed Leo's hand as he finished speaking. "I still love you, Leo. I haven't gotten over you. What does she have that I don't? I'm also a very popular model which is a plus for you. I'll do anything you want me to do," she begged him."Will you just stop?! Stop this drama. I don't want you. I'm now a married man so stay away from me," he said and pulled me into the private room.I could not make any comments so as not to irk him. The attendants came in with a cloth rack and gestured to me to change in the dressing room.The dresses looked good on me as I had a great silhouette. Leo kept nodding till he had to purchase half the dresses on the rack. "Am I in the news?" Leo asked

12. A terrible first day at Work

EMILY POV"Do I have to answer that question? What I'm about to do is obvious," he stated, his big eyes staring at my body hungrily."Take your hands off me," I said, and switched the lights on. "If you don't want me to get pregnant, then do not force yourself on me. If you insist, I'll sue you for rape," I said and regretted it that very minute.It'll be weird to sue my husband for rape when we were newlyweds. And even if I could, I do not have the finances to cater for a court case especially with the high and mighty Leo Robbins.He laughed loudly and stared at me once more with his seductive eyes. I held my neck, swallowed some saliva and looked in another direction when I noticed his muscular chest and biceps. "Sue me? I hope you know that you've just made a stupid remark," he said and continued laughing."I don't care if it's stupid or not. I won't let you take advantage of me," I replied, looking towards my escape route - the door.He stood from the bed, giving me a full view o

13. Coming days of Woes

EMILY POV"Who do you think you are to speak to me in such a manner? I knew marrying you was a bad idea. I hated everything about you and I still do. Don't be fooled because we both live in the same house now. Once this contract is over, you'll be back in the streets where you belong. I've had enough of your constant and stupid nagging. The next time I speak, and you retort, I'll teach you an unforgettable lesson of your life. I haven't healed from what you did last night and next time, you won't get away easily. You get that?!" he yelled with his firm grip in my neck."Y..ee..ss…" I struggled to reply to him as he choked me.A loud knock came on the door which put a stop to what he was doing."Sorry to disturb you. Miss Alice will like to have a word with Mrs. Emily," a lady said and left almost immediately.Leo followed her and walked out of the office without a glance at me.★★★★★★Alice had given me a pile of documents to read through before my meeting with Annabel that afternoon.

14. Mysterious Plans

LEO POVMy thoughts wandered off to the previous night. Jude had visited my office with some updates and while I perused the papers, we discussed.“Have you seen Emily this evening,” I asked, feigning indifference.“Yeah, she’s heading home now. I told her you’re working late tonight,” Jude said.“Hmmm,” I muttered and closed the document. “She had the nerve to leave while I was still in the office,” I mumbled and stood up.“Where are you going?” Jude asked but I rushed out in a hurry. Emily was taking a larger part of my thoughts and it infuriated me. I’ve never had to think about a woman before.I was a misogamist who enjoyed having sex and clubbing but all that changed because of one woman. The same woman was also on the verge of making me a public object of ridicule after what she had done the previous night. A knock on the door jolted me from my thought. “Come in,” I said.Emily came in and closed the door behind her. My blood boiled as I saw her and I called the secretary immedi

15. Terminating Leo Jr.

EMILY POVI had never imagined that Leo would yell at me to the extent of slapping my face. I grabbed the pole behind me for support while I struggled with staying sane as I felt dizzy all of a sudden, Leo left the parking lot in anger.I pulled myself together and made my way to leave the area. After walking four feet away from where I was slapped, I felt a sudden dizziness overtook me and darkness enveloped my vision afterwards. When I regained my consciousness, I felt the smell of medicines sting my nose. I sneezed twice and tried to stand up from the bed.“Where am I?” I asked, squinting my eyes to get a clearer vision. “You need to rest or you’ll hurt the baby. You were rushed to this hospital after you fainted,” a nurse who was checking my vital signs replied.I nodded in response and closed my eyes. They suddenly fluttered open when I thought about Leo. I wondered if he might be on his way to see me since he had to pretend to be the perfect husband.“No!!!” I screamed and rem

16. A new rival

EMILY POV I felt faint inside and for a few seconds, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I wondered how much of the conversation he heard. “Leo! What are you doing here?” I asked him, surprise written all over my face. “What kind of question is that? Did you think I’ll stand still when my wife fainted and was rushed to the hospital?” he asked and turned to face the doctor and me simultaneously. “What were you talking about? Who’s keeping a baby?” he asked. Then I knew he didn’t hear our previous conversation until the doctor’s last words. I made eye contact with her and moved my head in the negative. She got my message and smiled. “I was having a conversation with one of my patients until you walked in,” she said and took off her earphones from her ears. I was startled by her quick moves in covering up for me. “Are you Emily’s husband?” she asked. “Yes and you must be her personal doctor since she had to had to leave another hospital for yours,” he said and gazed

17. A Friend or a Foe?

EMILY POV I could not believe her as I stood there, looking straight into her eyes. I tried to imagine what she was thinking to possess such an audacity. Unknown to me that she witnessed what transpired between Leo and me at the parking lot, I flashed back to the last two days when we had physical discussions. We were on good terms and she gave me enough respect, befitting Mrs. Robbins. I was oblivious of the fact that Alice was in love with Leo and our argument had given her the opportunity to approach Leo once again after her failed attempt when he was a bachelor. "I think you're starting to forget your place in this company. Don't bite more than you can chew," I said with confidence written all over my face. Whether Leo loved me or not, I was his legal wife which gave me an edge over every employee in the organization. "And you're having unfeasible expectations. You should get the A-plus file now before he beckons to us," Alice said with an air of pride. Unfeasible expectatio

18. Unwanted attraction

EMILY POV"I need to visit some place before heading home. I didn't mean to eavesdrop your conversation," I said.Deep down, I was curious to know if Annabel was a friend or foe. My mind rewind back to my engagement party with Leo. She had a strange attraction to me. She loved me for no reason at all.I couldn't help but wonder if she was a true friend or just a rival trying to use me to get closer to her ex-boyfriend or seeking revenge for taking him away from her."It's fine, Emily. We're friends," she said and we walked back to the main hall."I didn't know you and Leo were so close," I said. I couldn't stay mute. My curiosity had gotten to the apex level as I ached to know the kind of relationship they had."We are very close. We've dated once before too," she said, gesturing to her personal assistant who followed behind us."That's a surprise," I exclaimed as we approached the exit. She got me wondering why she divulged the information. "Thanks for agreeing to work with us. I hav

19. How we start Lovin'

EMILY POV"What are you trying to do?" I yelled without looking at his face."What's your problem? I'm not even coming close to you. I'm leaving the bed for you and what did you say? That I'm trying to do something?" he yelled. I kept mute as I avoided his face."You think the world revolves around you? I can't wait to be off this stressful relationship," he said and went into the walk-in closet.★★★★★★It's been over four weeks since I got married to Leo Robbins and denying my family name made me extremely ashamed.Even as I faced a camera for the first time to answer interview questions with my husband on a broadcast television channel, guilt ate me up."I admire you and your husband as a power couple, Mrs. Robbins," the presenter said with all smiles. "How do you feel about being married to the most eligible bachelor NYC had ever had before you took him off the singles market?"I breathed in and smiled. I had to remain composed as I answered each question even though I was nervous.

20. Is this Love?

LEO POV I had a series of meetings to attend but I couldn’t concentrate. I kept thinking about Emily and how she looked in her red suit. The thought of her face made me giggle until Jude finally advised me to end the meetings and head home. I was clearly distracted and he figured me out as he always does. “Where’s Emily?” I asked Jude who was following behind me as usual. “She’d be in her office. Her secretary informed me that she was working on some documents,” Jude replied. “Then we’re going to her office. I’m done for the day. Reschedule the other meetings,” I said and we took the elevator to Emily’s office. “Where’s my wife?” I asked her secretary who was preparing to leave. “She left with Mr. Kay,” she replied. “Which Mr. Kay? Why would she leave with any man?” I asked, my temper beginning to rise. Jude gestured to me and I kept myself in check. “Mr. Kay, your brother,” she replied. I felt my blood boil after she finished speaking. What was she doing with Kay when I was
