LEO POV"Nothing happened. I want to be left alone," she said and made to leave but I pulled her back to me."But I already apologized. There's nothing between me and Alice. She tried to seduce me and I was about to refuse her when you showed up. I never intended to hurt you," I explained."I don't think there's any need for you to explain yourself to me. You're my boss and it's your life. I can't interfere with that," she said."Where did you sleep last night?" I asked."At my parents house," she replied. I breathed in deeply and placed my hands in my pocket. I felt I should have informed Jude to carry out a total background check when he asked. I would have known a lot about her.The only thing I knew about her was that she was a poor and struggling artist who I found on my bed the next day."And I hope you had a good rest?" I asked again and she shrugged."Can I leave now?" She asked."Quit making this difficult for me, Emily. I'm trying to do all I can so you can forgive me," I sa
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 47. Getting to know him
EMILY POVIt was my first time traveling out of the country and I felt elated about the trip. More so about Leo who had started warming up to me after our fall out. Martha told me how he stayed up all night, waiting for me till he fell asleep. Then he asked her to prepare my favorite meal while he refused to eat till I was back.

However I choose to enjoy the moment and claim whatever I could get in the present. When we arrived at our resort in Maldives, my mind wandered back to Max who had also dreamt of traveling there with
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 48. Are we in love?
EMILY POVTalk about the highest level of embarrassment. I had just made a fool of myself right in front of my crush. He ran over to me and helped me up. I had a small scratch on my knees and I was more grateful because I had no bruise on my face. That would destroy the entire holiday. Leo carried me back in bridal style into our suite. He quickly got first aid and applied an ointment on the spot. I bowed my head so I could avoid his eyes. He began to laugh when he realized my whole face was flushed due to the shame of falling on my face.“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything so you can look at my face,” he said. His comment made me feel worse and I stood up abruptly.“I… We… Are we still touring the resort today? Or I can just rest in the room,” I said in one breath. It was quite obvious that I wanted to avoid him.“What about going scuba diving?” he asked.“You can do that. I’ll just stand by the beach and cheer you on,” I replied.“Cheer me on? I don’t need anyone to cheer me on,” h
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 49. A dream or reality?
EMILY POVOur faces were so close and his lips were almost on mine when I withdrew and stood up all of a sudden. The atmosphere grew tense and awkward but it was better than having sex with him. I was pregnant and I was not ready to lose the baby anymore since I had a fragile womb. I could not afford to have rough and passionate sex with a man who might not end up with me and ruin my life. Since none of us was ready to talk, I left the room. "Are you mad at me?" Leo asked after we had spent a few minutes apart. I was already at the villa with the palette and drawing board I had requested for."Of course not. I guess we can't do any swimming today so I decided to paint," I said."Alright! Let's get to it," he said."You want to join me?" I asked, startled by his surprising closeness. "We've discussed this," he said and sat beside me. I felt uneasy with him staring at me but I was soon engrossed in what I was doing to pay him any attention. I spent the rest of the day working on the

The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 51. Do what couples do
EMILY POVHis hand explored my underpants as he drew at it. He kissed me hard and long and I was lost in the passionate moment until he kissed my neck down to my chest. I recalled that I resolved not to have any kind of sex with any man till I delivered my baby. I was not ready to risk the only shot I had at being a mother so I opened my shut eyes. His lips brushed over my nipples and I moaned but I had to do something. “Stop! Stop, Leo! We can’t do this,” I screamed, pushing him off me.“What is that supposed to mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying,” he said.“I don’t know! All I know is that this is wrong and we should not do this,” I said covering my breasts.“You’re my wife so I don’t see anything wrong in having sex with you. Stop depriving me of what’s mine,” he yelled.“But I’m not your real wife. I’m just an employee as you always claim. I can’t do this.

It's so unlike you," she said."I have a huge problem and I don't know how to fix it. You're the only friend I can share it with," I said."Let's hear it!" she said and I tried hard to mask my sad feelings with laughter."I had a fallout with Leo.
