EMILY POVI was in total shock after hearing what Dr. Maureen said. How could the baby be dead? "That's not… That's not possible," I said, fighting the pain.The doctor didn't say anything afterwards. Leo was in shock as he stood with mouth agape. The doctor got Leo out of the room.The pain I felt was unbearable. It was both physical and emotional. I could not hear the thought of losing my baby. I felt something being injected into my body and passed out after a few seconds. HOURS LATERMy hand moved slowly on the bed till I could feel someone's skin. The body was warm and I touched its hair. I stretched to see who it was and I discovered that it was Leo who was sleeping like a baby. Due to my movements, he woke up instantly."Are you awake? How do you feel?" he asked then rushed to the intercom.by the wall. "Doctor, she's awake!" he screamed happily. I was weak so all I did was follow his trail as he moved to my side. "I'm so glad that you're awake. I was so scared," he was almo
KAY POVDealing with Emily had been a hassle. She was Leo's greatest weakness but she was too clean. I could not have my way with her nor did she give me the opportunity to get close to knowing her. Apart from the secret baby she had with Leo, I could tell that she was hiding something. She was too anxious about seeing me at the hospital so it was more than just exposing her secret baby to Leo. I needed answers to my question so I got one of my men to make a proper background check on her. Then I discovered that she was Emily Jones and not Steven. I didn't get much information about her friends and family because she was truly an orphan with a missing kid brother and no close friend. Her hidden identity was the weapon I needed to disrupt Leo's life so I got it on social media and got a team of experts to make it trend like crazy. Emily could not show her face to the public which had definitely taken a toll on Leo. I felt so happy but that was not my goal. I wanted Father to see tha
KAY POV"Let go of me, Kay," father said as he struggled to be free from my hold."I've given you enough chances to prove that you're a good father but you choose to be biased till the end," I said, tightening the rope on his neck. However, his grip on my hand weighed on it and I lost a little bit of strength. Then he kicked me and got free from my grip."What are you doing? You want to kill me? Your father?!" Father exclaimed."You killed your wife whom you claimed to love. There's no problem in showing you the same gesture," I replied as I moved towards him and we started exchanging blows. Father had been a thug for a while so he knew how he was good at throwing punches. As we fought, I gave him a strong hit in his knee area that weakened his muscles and he almost fell. Then I grabbed the rope and encircled it around his neck. "Why…why aa..aare you doing… this?" father stuttered as he raised his head slightly to look into my bloodshot eyes."It is exactly what you taught me. Your
LEO POVTWO DAYS BEFORE MR. ROBBINS’ DEATHI had just arrived from the office and as I stepped into the living room, Emily wrapped her arms around me and planted kisses all over my face."How was your day?" she asked."It was extremely hectic. The board meeting for the election is a day after tomorrow. I just hope it would all work out," I said and embraced her tightly. These days, I was always eager to come home to meet Emily. I enjoyed her company and everything about her made me happy. After I am elected as the new chairman, I'll personally work on clearing her name and expose the truth about how I forced her to take a false identity. She did not deserve the hide and seek she had been facing for a couple of weeks. I slowly detached myself from the embrace and stared into her eyes. It was wet on the sides which got me puzzled. I feigned a smile then moved to the bedroom."What have you been up to?" I asked."Nothing much. I slept then watched some period dramas then prepared one of
LEO POV"Your house? I'm not even surprised. We haven't even laid him to rest, yet you're claiming the house. This is the Robbins mansion and we'll keep it that way," I said."I am the Robbins. I bet you didn't get the memo. I am the new head of the family as the oldest and I get to decide what is right or wrong," Kay stated then moved towards a shelf. He pulled out a folder then approached me and stretched his hand so I could grab it."What is this?" I asked."One thing I hate about you is your useless questions. Just take the damn paper," he said. I collected it and pulled out a pile of papers from the folder. It had reports of father's high blood pressure medical history and it was signed by his doctor."But he never said anything about this," I mumbled."How could he say anything to you when you've been busy gallivanting around a girl," he replied then moved to the other entrance of the room. "If you've got nothing more to say, I'll leave. And don't start another noise in my house
LEO POV"We've seen the papers, all signed with your signature. We have even seen the history of transactions. What did you do with so much money from the company's account? What has gotten into you?" another said. I was shocked beyond words because I was as baffled as they were. "I do not understand what you all are saying," I blurted out."Show him the papers. We had to call a closed door emergency meeting so we can work on it before it gets out. This is a large company and anything can happen," another said. I stretched my arm and collected the said document from them. It had an history of transactions showing that I embezzled the company's money. It was not just any money though. A whole lot of money, running into millions."This is not me. Why would I do something like this? I never carried out any of these transactions," I said."So how do you explain this? If you must know, a huge amount like this can deal a huge blow on the Group. You need to look for that money," one of the
LEO POV"This scandal is very huge, Leo. The FBI will soon investigate the case and that is the start of a bad reputation in the public eye. We need to move fast and get that person who gave the channel those evidences," Jude said with bated breath. I could not sit still because my brain was rewinding and recollecting several events in the company. It was for a surety that the mastermind was in the company. "I won't sit around and wait anymore. I need to meet Mr. Matt. He's supposed to be an opposition and not a serious contender. I guess father's death gave him the zeal to desire my position," I said."You have to be careful in all you do. People know have eyes on you everywhere. Confronting him can make you a more guilty culprit before the board and the FBI when they're having the investigation. We need to thread carefully," Emily said."Don't worry. I've got it under control. I'll go alone so he won't see me as a threat. I'll be able to tell from his reaction if he's the culprit t
LEO POVI sped like a crazy man to the location where I had agreed to meet the strange woman. The moment I stepped out of the car, I knew she was the one standing by the street lamp with a black cloak which gave me the chills. I approached her but she turned into the street then sent me a message.PL Restaurant. Meet me at table 10"What the hell is going on? Who's this woman?!" I exclaimed then moved in the direction of the restaurant. It was packed full with people but I was glad I had my cap and glasses on. I maneuvered till I arrived at table 10. Then a woman sat on the chair opposite me all of a sudden and started browsing through her phone. Then she spoke to me without a glance at my face."I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm only protecting myself," she said."From who or what? Who are you?" I asked."I'm Eve, an attendant at the morgue where your father was kept," she replied."Why do we have to meet in secret and who are you hiding from?" I asked."Your father did not die of high
