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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 120. Undercover
EMILY POVAfter Leo drove out of the villa, I got into a simple blouse and pencil skirt then got the driver to take me to the company. I had stopped working with any department due to the crisis the family was facing. I sent tongues wagging the moment I stepped into the building. I was overly self-conscious but I hid my fear by making it with a feigned confidence. I was there to play detective so I had to focus. If someone had to frame Leo embezzling company funds, the person must definitely have a mole in the finance department. Leo was on it and he got a private investigator to check things but I felt the process was too slow. I could easily do an insider job since I had worked in the company and was close to a few staff members. "Hey, Emily!" Jeff called from a distance. I wanted to move away as soon as I sighted him but he caught up with me. "Hi, Jeff. It's been a while," I said"I read the news and watched your press conference," he said. I could bet he was trying go make smal
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 121. On His Tail
EMILY POV"Nothing happened and I'm just staring like every other day," Leo replied."Really? I know you and I can tell when something is wrong. Did they get you angry?" I asked."Don't worry about my face, Emily. What was it you wanted to inform me about?" he asked. Since he was not ready to talk about it, I shrugged then pulled out the document and stretched it to him. "I met Jeff today and he gave me this," I said. He took the document and perused it then his eyes met mine."I knew that Kay was behind it," he said, confirming his suspicion."Jeff also told me that Kay has been meeting the board executives to turn them against you," I explained."How did he know all of this and why didn't he tell me. I go to that office almost everyday," he said."He said he had to be careful and he was also present at one of the meetings Kay had with an executive. Jeff is not really the most reliable person but this is a lead that points to the fact that Kay did all this," I said."Well, he's made
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 122. A Declaration Of War
EMILY POV“Where is this happening?” Leo asked.“I think it might be at the company’s auditorium. He obviously set up a diversion so he can play the hero,” I said then grabbed my tablet and tuned it in to the video of his press conference.My hand folded into a fist and I glared at him through the video. Surprisingly, Leo was calm. He simply watched in silence.Kay had mounted the podium and he came close to the microphone and said, “I appreciate the love and support you all had shown to me and my family since we lost my father, Mr. Robbins who has been a great leader and role model in this country, the United States of America…”Jude stepped into our car and sat at the driver’s seat then turned back to see us watching the live coverage of the event.“Kay played a fast one on us. He got some reports here to cover your arrest while the others are at the press conference,” he said“That’s obvious. The real question is what he hopes to achieve with this,” Leo said.“There had been severa
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 123. A Bait
EMILY POV“Why are we keeping this away from Leo? This is basically about him,” Jude said.“I don’t want to make false accusations. It would be embarrassing and he might get mad at me. That’s the last thing I want right now,” I replied.“Okay then. I’ll get the gadgets ready. All you need to do is get it in and say the word. Then we’re good to go,” he said.“And one more thing. I do not want anyone else to know about this. This plan must not flop,” I said.“I’ll be handling it myself. You can count on me,” he replied.“Why is she counting on you?” Leo asked all of a sudden. He was sweating all over and he had his shorts and shirt on.“Hey babe,” I said then stood up to embrace him. I began to pray that he’s forget what he heard. He encircled my waist with his hands and laid kisses over my face then my lips. I pulled back and stared at his face while caressing his strong arms.“You should get a shower. You stink,” I said.“On it. Meanwhile, why are you counting on him? Do you need some
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 124. The Confession Of Agnes
EMILY POVI made my way out of the house to Jude’s car. He was already on standby to tap into Agnes’ phone.A sound beeps on his laptop then Agnes’ lock pattern appeared on the screen. He followed the lock pattern then searched through her phone. He clicked on the message icon and just when we were about scrolling through, she sent a message to one, “Big Brother”.“I think we just found what we’re looking for,” Jude said then clicked on the message. It reads;They have evidence against the boss. Leo knows nothing about it. Emily is becoming very nosy. What’s the next line of action?“I knew there was a mole in this house!” I exclaimed.“We have to confront her,” Jude said.“I’ve called Leo and he’ll be here at any minute,” I said.Jude had instantly scrolled through her messages and downloaded it before she locked her phone again. After a few minutes, Leo pulled into the compound and found us by the car.“Hey babe,” he said and embraced me.“Hi,” I replied and pecked his cheek.“What’
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 125. Heavy On The Shoulders
EMILY POVI turned to face him immediately and looked in his eyes which looked sorrowful. "You sound so serious. What can't you hold in anymore?" I asked.He took a deep breath and his face was as if he would burst into tears. He held me close and cuddled me then kissed my shoulder. "You're the only true family I have. Promise that you won't leave me," he said.I looked up at his face because he was acting weird. He had never said that word to me before. "What's the matter, Leo?" I asked."Promise me first," he said."I promise that I won't leave. I love you so much to leve you alone," I replied, caressing his cheeks. Out of nowhere, the thought of the Robbins family's involvement in Max's kidnap stormed my mind. I tried to get rid of the thought but it lingered on. Leo planted a kiss on my forehead then encircled his arm around me. He was like a little kid afraid of losing his mother."I think Kay killed my father," he said."What?!" I exclaimed, pulling away from him. "How could
