LEO POVI glanced at Kay and my eyes held his. I was infuriated because he kept playing the good guy, making me the bad guy in front of Emily.I suppressed my firm grip on her arm and stared at Kay, "I'm talking to my wife right now so I'll appreciate the privacy," I said and glared back at Emily who looked at me with contempt. She obviously thought I was the rudest man ever but I cared less."When would you stop being so overly dramatic? And why do you feel so insecure when Emily's with me?" he asked and shrugged."Let's have a man-to-man talk. Emily should leave us for now," he said.I had always respected Kay until the moment he roped me in a serious drug case in high school.I felt betrayed ever since and we couldn't see eye to eye most times. I noticed how calm he was when I was suddenly raised to the top-tier level of the company at twenty one. I had deserved it since I raised the company's revenue three years in a row.However, his calm disposition was disturbing since he was o
EMILY POVI had given up on understanding Leo because he was an unpredictable, harsh and wicked human. He was insensitive to other people's emotions unlike his brother who made me feel at ease.While he questioned me about the reason I asked Kay out for coffee, I wondered why the latter told him about it.It was supposed to be an innocent meeting where I'd thank him for being a great source of relief to me but telling Leo was like blowing it out of proportion. I couldn't stand his questions so I made to exit the office.However, he grabbed me and pulled me into a corner. His body was huge, masculine and tall over mine and I couldn't fathom why he had me in that position.He looked down at my face then on my lips. I avoided his gaze and looked down at my feet but he held my chin up. He drew me closer and his lips came close to mine. I was startled when he closed his eyes and placed his lips on mine.He grabbed my waist and kissed me hard which almost made me breathless. I was deeply sh
LEO POVI had just got off the phone with my father who requested to meet me and Emily the next day. I could not put my finger around the reason he suddenly grew fond of Emily.At the start of the contract, we had agreed that we would use Emily to clear up any scandal that could stop me from getting the chairmanship position and expanding R & B Group into new waters.It was surprising that he was starting to like the girl he couldn't have chosen for me as a bride. An ordinary stripper who quickly denied her profession just to be in a fake marriage contract with me.I sighed and went back to the golfing area where I'd left Emily and Kay. I felt it was unsafe to leave my wife with my brother but it occurred to me that I might simply be insecure and there might be nothing to it.As far as I'm concerned, Kay wasn't interested in women. I could not even pinpoint his major interest except for sports.The moment I reached our hangout spot, my mouth separated unconsciously as I saw Emily stan
LEO POVThen she looked away and stepped out of the car. I wanted to call her back, pull her body close to mine, slide my tongue across her bottom lips and have passionate sex with her but I held it in.She might be too shocked and would start avoiding me which was not what I wanted at the moment especially since her opinion of me was that of a rapist.I didn't bother myself to go in to change so I headed to a hotel where I usually spend time with Annabel.She had sent me a message earlier that she wanted to see me. I picked my keys from the reception and headed to the suite at the top floor.I enjoyed staying in hotels which prompted my covert lifestyle than at my family's hotel where my movements could be monitored. I walked into the room to meet Annabel in a bright red lingerie that had her hips, butt and breasts out. "Hey there, young man. Great work neglecting me," she said, standing from the bed."What's up, Annabel? I got your message to meet," I replied with indifference."S
LEO POV"She is not, I promise. We should head over to the estate. Your father's asking to see you," Jude said."No wonder she's been giving me cold shoulders. Get Emily in here so she can use the bathroom and change. I've ordered a dress which would be here in a few minutes. I don't want dad asking me questions," I said and stood up from my chair."Don't forget to inform her that I already left the office and I'll be waiting at the parking lot so she can put her mind at rest. She might start getting silly thoughts," I added and exited the office with Jude tagging behind me.I arrived at Father's estate with Emily. She had been quiet all through the drive while I chatted with Jude about work. She kept staring out through the window which made me wonder if she ever got neck pain.She stepped out of the car in her purple coat and white pants. The maids rushed to take her bag but she declined and walked into the house.She held a square-shaped object which made me curious all through the
EMILY POVThe living room had an empty space at it’s center so I placed it on the wall. “Perfect!” I muttered.The house looked beautiful to me so I decided to look around. I walked through the hallway till I heard the voices of Leo and his father.I went close to the study which made their voices audible for me to hear. I listened on their conversation and heard them discussing about me.At first, I felt elated that is father was defending me and reprimanding him for his scandalous acts. But my mood changed drastically when Leo mentioned that he wasn’t interested in me and didn’t intend to keep me with him.The worst part was when he said he wasn’t ready to become a father. He reminded me of the baby I was carrying which had made me look sick and pale for a few days.I felt like walking in on them but I stood rooted to the spot when Mr. Robbins spoke about his legacy.Leo kept asking questions about it which made me wonder what secrets they were keeping.“You’d know when the time is
LEO POV While Emily bathed in the bathroom, I kept thinking about how to avoid her. She was utterly distracting and being in the same room with her would lead to the inevitable. I swallowed hard and continued working on my laptop as she came out of the bathroom with her nightgown. I avoided her gaze as she looked at me and checked for a walk-in closet. I almost burst out into laughter when I noticed her screwed face when she wasn't looking. Then she left to get a glass of juice and it's been a few minutes but she had not showed up. I guessed she might be lost so I went out to get her. While I was coming down the stairs, I saw her peering through he window intently as if she would faint. Her eyes was painted with horror and she couldn't ear my footsteps as I approached her. "What are you looking at?" I asked her. "Good gracious!" she screamed and looked back through the window. "Where is he?" she asked. "Who?" I questioned her. "He was there. Right there! He stepped out of the
EMILY POVI felt suffocated as I walked back to my office in shame. Everything was not working in my favor. My own husband even ridiculed me before his board of executives.As I walked past the employees and they bowed to me, I could hear them whisper about my humiliation. I went into my office and shut myself in.I kept working on other aspects of the expansion project without leaving the office. When I noticed it was lunch break, I stepped out of the office and went to the last floor to get coffee.Then I suddenly started craving cooked meals. I made to leave the company then Leo appeared from his private elevator with Jude. I looked away from his direction but Jude's voice prompted me to give him a glance."Hi, Emily," Jude said."Hello, Jude," I said, then stole a glance at Leo.He avoided my gaze and focused on the entrance as a few men with their bodyguards walked into the building."Hola buenas tardes, Vincent," Leo said, embracing his guest and shaking their hands.Jude also a
