EMILY POVMy eyes followed the movement of the gatecrashers as they walked in. I moved my attention to Leo who was about to hold his glass to his mouth but stopped mid-way as they entered.When one of them noticed me, she gestured to the others and they approached me. Every step they took made me jittery but I found my confidence soon.I was Leo's wife and from what I could deduce, he might have feelings for me. And even if he didn't have feelings for me, I was ready to take a stand and show them who the boss is. I walked elegantly to Leo and held his arm."Honey, can we go grab a drink?" I asked him in a bid to steal him away from the guests he was speaking with."Of course, excuse me," he said to the guests and followed me. One of his ex-girlfriends followed in our direction and we met at the small bar put in place for the event."Hey boy! Won't you even say hello? I came all the way to celebrate you today even though someone decided not to send me an invite," she said."I guess you

EMILY POVI suddenly felt guilty after I made out with Leo in public. I had searched for Annabel's face after in the crowd and when I found it, my mind was disheartened.From their previous encounter at the entrance of the party, I got a positive feeling that there was something between them before I crashed in. That was how I viewed it.I had crashed into someone else's relationship and ruined it. I imagined how she must have felt while he kissed me and after he made that heartfelt speech.Guilt ate me up when she grew silent while we spoke at the party. Then she apologized for staying for a short while and left the party. I was restless all through the drive home. I felt like I had stabbed my friend at the back. A friend who had been nothing but good to me.Then I made up my mind to asked him about their relationship. The clarity would assist me in controlling my feelings and withdrawing from any foolish thoughts I had about my future with Leo.If she was meant to be with him in th

LEO POVEmily's provocative statement bothered me as I took my shower and went to bed. Even when I got to the office, I could not stop thinking about her and my harsh comment.I sank into my chair and focused on replying to my emails but it did me no good. I needed a distraction from Emily. It was as though I would go crazy and my head would explode. "Hello, Mr. Leo. These are the documents you asked for. I have ensured that they are all signed and the deal will commence tomorrow," Alice said, dropping a few documents on my table."Great job, Alice. I can always count on you," I said, perusing the documents."You can always count on me. You look bothered sir?" she said with concern etched on her face."Do I? I'll be fine," I replied with a faint smile."What if I got something to cheer you up?" she asked and walked slowly to my side of the table as if trying to see if I would react.I felt my libido rising as she drew near. I had not had sex in a while because of Emily and I stayed a

EMILY POVIt was my first time traveling out of the country and I felt elated about the trip. More so about Leo who had started warming up to me after our fall out. Martha told me how he stayed up all night, waiting for me till he fell asleep. Then he asked her to prepare my favorite meal while he refused to eat till I was back. He had turned romantic towards me which was a rare sight of Leo Robbins. I was amazed when he proposed the vacation and I got the hunch that he wanted to spend more time with me. So many thoughts were crawling into my mind and I struggled to keep calm as well as to control my emotions. My happiness was almost short-lived when he said he'd be announced the new chairman of the group in a couple of weeks which meant that I'd soon be relieved of my wifely duties. However I choose to enjoy the moment and claim whatever I could get in the present. When we arrived at our resort in Maldives, my mind wandered back to Max who had also dreamt of traveling there with

EMILY POVOur faces were so close and his lips were almost on mine when I withdrew and stood up all of a sudden. The atmosphere grew tense and awkward but it was better than having sex with him. I was pregnant and I was not ready to lose the baby anymore since I had a fragile womb. I could not afford to have rough and passionate sex with a man who might not end up with me and ruin my life. Since none of us was ready to talk, I left the room. "Are you mad at me?" Leo asked after we had spent a few minutes apart. I was already at the villa with the palette and drawing board I had requested for."Of course not. I guess we can't do any swimming today so I decided to paint," I said."Alright! Let's get to it," he said."You want to join me?" I asked, startled by his surprising closeness. "We've discussed this," he said and sat beside me. I felt uneasy with him staring at me but I was soon engrossed in what I was doing to pay him any attention. I spent the rest of the day working on the
