The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 112. Feelings Of The Lost
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 113. To Mourn A Culprit
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 114. Unbelievable Beliefs
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 115. A New Enemy
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 116. A Novel Mystery
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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 117. Q & A
LEO POVI sensed that Emily felt uneasy with the current situation of things but I needed to clear her name more than anything else. I pulled my attention away from Kay and focused on the cameras."Hello everyone. My name is Leo Robbins, Emily Robinson husband. It's pretty recent news that my wife was involved in an identity crisis. I appreciate the support of everyone who kept believing in my family and also to my fans who were relentless in vouching for me. However, I want to make some clarification," I said then surveyed the area once more. Kay was nowhere to be found which gave me an uneasy feeling. He must have done something but what could he have done? Or he probably came around to make me uneasy. Emily's skin moved against mine for a brief moment and it got me back to the present. I had almost spaced out."The fact about my wife being Stevens or Jones was not an identity she cooked up to fool me. I came up with the idea due to personal reasons and she had to agree because I ma
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 118. Eve Is Dead
LEO POVI signaled to Jude to stop the conference while I grabbed Emily's hand. It was time we left the auditorium and faced other businesses. I already got the answer to the unanswered questions that plagued my mind. Kay was involved with some of the journalists. I was positive that he was involved with the lady who sat at the back seat. Kay had made it obvious that he was the enemy and probably the mastermind of the embezzlement scandal. The reporters followed us as we moved briskly to the car which was waiting outside the building. In a few minutes we were away from the rowdy crowd."Did you notice that Kay was in the crowd?" Emily asked."I saw him," I answered."I get a really bad feeling that Kay was the person who embezzled all that money and pinned it on you. He is such a scamming bastard," she said and hit her fist on the car seat."Since father had died, he's trying to turn things in his favor. I bet he set up these online trolls to suggest that I stepped down. Step down?!
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 119. Evidences Aren’t Easy To Get
LEO POVMy mind went blank at my only chance at finding my father's murderer. The CCTV recording was my cue that would lead on to other evidences but I found nothing. The recording had been altered. "No! No! No!" I cried then stormed to the operator guy. I gave him a hard smack on his back and screamed, "wake up, man!" He stood up abruptly then bored in fear as our eyes met. "I'm very sorry," he said."That's besides the point. Get here," I ordered him and we moved to the control panel."Why are there so many altered parts of the recording and why are there no recording at certain points at all?" I asked."Altered?" he asked then began to search through the recordings. He shot a glance at my direction then cowered in fear at his realization. "The system sometimes shut itself down especially at nights but Mr. Robbins said it was just a simple malfunction. I started working here a month ago so I can't really tell much about it," the operator stuttered as he spoke. I felt like pounci
