All Chapters of The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

EMILY POV“I’m sorry!” he blurted out without looking at my face. I turned to face him and smiled.“I’ll pretend that nothing happened here today so we can focus on other important matters,” I said. His eyes glowed with a glint and I could feel him warming up to me. Whenever he drew close to me, I always got the urge to tell him about our baby. I touched my belly and sighed.“Would you like to grab lunch with me,” he asked. I was startled and I gawked at him. I could not stop wondering if he was sick. When and why did he start paying attention to me? It couldn’t be his father’s instruction because he was totally against it.“Of course, I’ll go grab my bag,” I replied and hurried out of the office.We arrived at the same spot by the beach side where he took me the previous day. We had bought some packaged meals from the supermarket on our way. I was excited because I felt it was like a mini-picnic. I almost started grinning like a child but I had to caution myself so he wouldn’t tease

LEO POVEmily had earned my trust and respect with how she carried herself and this new plan of hers. I smiled sheepishly as we stood in the garage and waited for Jude to show up. Then he did and our suspect snuck up behind him. Jude pretended to drop something in the car and his phone rang. I had called him apparently as part of our plan. Then our suspect rushed to the car when Jude wasn’t looking but he was shocked to see an empty folder.“Are you surprised?” I asked, coming out of my hiding place with Emily. Jude also turned to face him and we had him cornered.“Mr. Leo,” he said, jittering in fear.“Follow me,” I said and he walked behind me nervously while Jude walked beside me.“How did you do it?” I asked.“Well, like Emily had said. I pretended to make a phone call that Fleece Group had the wrong design and that was why they found missing parts. Then I said the original design was right there with me as I headed to the car,” he explained.“And he took the bait,” I said and sm

EMILY POVI was not surprised when the employee confessed that Kay had put him up to steal the designs. After he roped me in an infidelity scandal at work then tried to kiss me forcefully, I knew he was capable of worse things. However, I didn't expect Leo to react the way he did. While I thought he hated Kay, he still loved him as his brother, hence the disappointment. I was afraid we would get into an accident when he sped to the Robbins mansion but we did not. Then he rushed into the house and I missed the direction he went. I didn't want to ask the maids because they could be gossipers. Though a few of them noticed. Surprisingly, I made my way to Kay's study and heard the men talking. They were having a heated conversation so I stood by the door and eavesdropped their conversation. My jaw dropped when I heard that Mr. Robbins had killed his wife. I knew there was something off about the man but I could not pinpoint what it was. He had an evil aura around him and that would expl

LEO POV"Thanks for the compliment ma'am but we are not expecting. My wife's just putting on weight," I said and smiled at her face. I could not explain Emily's reaction because her face held no smile or frown. Meanwhile, there was no way we could be expecting. Emily had ensured that I never touched her. I had always clamored to have sex with her but I recently re-evaluated my desire. I wanted more from her. However, a real marriage was out of the question. Besides, my family was getting too complicated so I needed to sort things out. "My bad! I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. She really looks the part," the woman said and laughed. Emily replied her with a smile and we left the stall. We drove home in silence with a gentle song blaring out of the stereo.A FEW DAYS LATER"Your father instructed that he would be expecting you by 7pm. What should I do?" Jude asked. My focus was on my computer screen as I waited for Emily to show up. I wanted to have lunch with her. Since we spent

LEO POV"When would you learn to control your temper? You don't even care to listen. You just act. I could not sleep because I was worried about you and all you could say was that it was none of my concern. How did you expect me to feel? Even if we have an employer and employee relationship, I can still have a little bit of compassion right?" she said."And I'm terribly sorry for that. I could not believe my ears yesterday. I had never felt so betrayed in my entire life. I kept wondering why Father gave me those shares and told me to keep you…," I said but stopped midway. I must not disclose that Father wanted me to keep her by my side so as to carry on his so called mysterious empire. She nodded as if she knew what I was referring to. "Kay knows more than he revealed to you. You have to be careful about them. This has gone beyond a simple brothers fight. Your Father can't curb Kay's excesses anymore. He also has this secret as a weapon to coerce you to do whatever he wants," she sai
