The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 126. Who Is Dane?
EMILY POVI rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower then got into the closet to put on my outfit. Leo walked into the closet and stood at the door.“You’re acting weird and with everything going on, I’m not at ease,” he said.“There’s nothing going on, Leo. I’m fine. I just need a breath of fresh air to clear my mind,” I said.“Then we could take a short trip or visit our beach side,” he suggested.“We can’t afford to take short trips when you’re contending for the chairmanship position and I’d rather be alone now. Painting can be exhausting and one of the ways to get through is to de-stress. I’ll be back soon, I promise,” I said.After putting on my pants and sweatshirt, I pecked his cheek and raced out of the house before he could oppose me. I had to meet the anonymous person who kept making me nervous and anxious. I got into the car and made my way to the location the person had sent to me.I arrived at the location and stepped out of the car. The restaurant had people leav
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 127. What You Have Under Wraps
EMILY POVMy face brightened as he stated that he saw the number plate.“Then why haven’t you gone to the police station? That could be your chance at finding out if the car was truly for the Robbins,” I said.I sniffed in then sighed. “When I chased after the car and it disappeared, I got a bike and drove into the streets. That was when I saw the car again opposite where I was. I followed it from a distance and saw it drive into the Robbins Mansion. There was a party going on and as you know, your husband’s family only mingle with the elite,” he said then paused, sniffed in once more and continued with his narration.“I tried to go in but the security at the gate would not let me. I yelled and shouted that someone in one of the cars took my son but none of them listened. I was arrested and locked up for two days. None of the policemen said anything to me. I was just there like a nobody. After I was released, I reported my son’s kidnap and told them what I saw. They checked the numb
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 128. Should Love Start To Fade?
EMILY POV“I want to be alone,” I said then stood up from my chair and hastened to my car. I sat behind the steering wheel for minutes but I could not drive. My eyes moved from inside the car to the restaurant and the man was still there, sipping tea and wiping his face. I started my car engine and zoomed off to the villa. It all seemed unreal and impossible but Dane seemed sincere. I wondered if Leo knew all about the kidnappings or if he was in the dark like every other person. I also could not figure out why they kidnapped people. However, one thing was sure. The Robbins family housed the heinous den of the kidnappers.I parked in the garage and made my way to the bedroom where I found Leo. It was unlike him to be in the room at that time of the evening especially since I was not indoors. I could not take my eyes off him as he laid on the bed and typed on his computer. The revelation placed me in an awkward position around him. Since my mind was preoccupied with several thoughts, I
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 129. Confrontation Amidst Strife
EMILY POV“I’m not doing anything to you. We have so many eyes in this house. This is a living room not a bedroom. It’s inappropriate,” I said just to save face. I wasn’t thinking straight but nevertheless, I would not have sex with a man who might possibly be the cause of my woes. He might not be guilty but I had to be sure and to do that, I had to stay away and think about my next line of action. I was taking too long but it’s not an easy task to digest the fact that your husband’s family are responsible for an attempted murder of your only sibling.“Is that the problem?! Is… Is that…,” he said over and over as he approached the intercom.“I want the maids and the guards dismissed from the main building. I want everyone out. You can stand guard outside,” he said through the phone then returned back to where I stood. I rolled my eyes because he didn’t get what I meant. Although I meant nothing than to stop using from having sex that night.“You did not have to do that,” I said and st
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 130. Love Should Conquer All
EMILY POV“Yes! Your fault! Is that what you guys have been doing all these while? You cover up your heinous crimes with the R&B Group then pretend to be a hardworking family?” I blurted out without thinking.“I beg your pardon. What is that supposed to mean?” he asked.I held my breath then sighed as a tear rolled out on my cheeks.“Your family has been involved in the various NYC kidnap cases flowing around in the media,” I said, dropping the bomb that could shatter our relationship.“What… Emily, what are you saying? I don’t understand you,” he said.“The Robbins family kidnapped Max and I have proof that they did,” I said.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Emily. You should not be the one to tarnish my family’s image like this. What if this gets out?” he asked“Oh! You’re afraid that this might get out? So you knew about it,” I said“Know about what?! How can you just cook up such a silly accusation and you expect me to believe that?” he said as he was starting to grow angr
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 131. A Heartbreaking Discovery
EMILY POV"Calm down, Dane. Leo is not a bad person. He is here to help. We all have the same goal and that is to uncover the truth. We should be working together," I said in a bid to make peace between the two as their egos were apparently inflated."He had brainwashed you. They are rich yet they cheat the masses. They know that people like me and you are not influential so they take our loved ones from us. I won't fall for such," Dane said."Now sir, you don't know me. You don't know who I am and I don't care about whatever you've seen on the media but keep that to yourself. I won't be here if not for the sake of my wife. I want to know how credible the story you fed her was because as much as you do not believe me, I do not believe you too," Leo said. They glared at each other like warring wild animals so I stepped in immediately. "Can we all calm down, have a seat and discuss this? Don't you want to see your son, Dane? Leo could help you get justice if you let him," I said "He w
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 132. Missing
LEO POV"It's nothing. Go back to sleep," I replied. I had not been myself after the revelation. It was a hard nut to crack, a bitter pill that I could not swallow. I had pondered over the issue and I deduced that my father had been hinting about it for a while. He had always mentioned his empire which was non-existent to me until I met Dane. I wanted to rectify it all and I was done being nice."It can't be nothing. You're wearing an all black outfit. We've been together for months already so I can tell that your dress isn't ordinary," she said."Don't worry and just go to sleep. I'll be back soon," I replied."But it's too early. You can go wherever you want to go when the day's brighter," she said. I sniffed then climbed onto the bed and held her shoulders. "I'll be back before you know it. I just have some loose ends to fix," I said, then stood up from the bed and made my way to the door. As I was about to turn the knob, she dropped questions that stopped me dead in my tracks."W
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 133. Breaking Barriers
LEO POVThey all came rushing at me as if an order had been put out to beat me to a pulp. They were the least of my worries because I was a pro at boxing and martial arts. My major concern was why they were fixated at protecting the deserted area. The first person threw a punch at me but I dodged it and gave him a taste of his own medicine. He tried to retaliate but I was quick to detect another rushing at me from the other side. I bent low and they collided. The second person smashed the first person's face which made him collapse. I pulled out an elastic rope from my pocket. It was my best instrument for fighting while I was in high school and through college. I hid a gun behind me but it was for the most extreme situation.I bounced onto the third person and held his neck with the rope. Then I pulled him towards the fourth person who was fuming with all his might. His focus was on me and he least expected to be hit by the third person. I stretched the rope and beckoned on them t
