The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 63. A new mystery
EMILY POV"Mr. Robbins would like to see you now, Mrs. Emily," one of the household waiters said."Did you hear some voices just now?" I whispered."I heard none. Please, let's head to the dining hall," he replied. I gawked at him because his denial seemed implausible. I felt uneasy as I followed him to the dining hall. My body grew hot and I felt curious. Something seems wrong and the entire Robbins Estate looked suspicious to me. The estate was so large and I wondered if people had ever been to all the areas on the land. There was no doubt that the Robbins family were rich but an estate was not so necessary. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked Leo the minute I saw me discussing with some other guests. He nodded and I pulled him to a corner of the room."I just heard some suspicious voices in the garden. I know it might seem unbelievable but things are going on in this house that you do not know," I said with bated breath."What did you hear?" he asked, folding his arms over hi
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 64. Revealing the real Kay
KAY POVAs I drove into the Robbins Estate, I recalled that Father had invited me to Leo and Emily’s dinner party but I was not interested in whatever they were doing. The couple’s existence made me sick and I struggled to keep a happy face around them. Leo had always been my sworn enemy. I never liked the fact that my father impregnated my mother and ditched her with the baby. Then he came for me when I was two years old after my mother’s death and brought me to his newly married pregnant wife. I envied the love he showed to the woman while my mother died of emotional strain. His love for the other woman was also expressed to her son who was an all rounder. He had been a smarty pants since he was two. Then he exceled in sports, spelling bees, debates and other extra curricular activities in school which made him my father’s favorite. Although, father tried to mask his feelings, anyone could tell that he loved the woman and her son. Then tragedy struck and Leo was left with no moth
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 65. All the guns out to win over Leo
EMILY POVI froze when I saw Kay staring at me but I acted as if nothing had happened. I wanted to tell him what I had seen but on second thoughts, he was not a good person so I kept it to myself. He stopped me as I turned to return to my room and backed me to a corner. Then he caressed my cheeks and brought his lips closer to mine. I was shocked by his gesture. It was disgusting to see him making moves on me after all he had put me through. He was even my brother-in-law which made it worse. I could not control my anger and I landed a hot slap on his face. It turned red instantly and I raced to my room and locked the door. He would have pulled me back but I bet he didn't expect my reaction. "What's going on? Why are you panting?" Leo asked as he yawned and sat upright."Nothing! You should go back to sleep," I replied and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror for minutes. I couldn't fathom what Kay wanted from me. I could not decide whether to inform Leo or keep it to mysel
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 66. Date night gone wrong
EMILY POV“We’ve talked about this, Emily. I don’t think a date is necessary,” Leo said and walked over to his swivel chair. I raced after him and faced him squarely, placing my hands at the edges of his chair so he could not stand up.“I know we’ve talked about this and I’m not asking for anything huge. Just a simple date,” I said and paced the room slowly. “All these would be over soon and I’ll return to my former life so I could as well enjoy it when I have the chance,” I explained.He heaved a deep sigh and kept his focus on me for what seemed like hours.“Alright! Meanwhile, don’t bother to change the dress. It looks breathtaking on you,” he said, taking his face off me and typing on his tablet. I giggled with excitement and hurried out of his office after we fixed a time for seven in the evening. Leo’s driver called to pick me up when it was time and I met him sitting in the car when I got to the garage. He was also busy with his phone so we exchanged pleasantries and experien
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 67. His Sabotage
EMILY POV"Did you do something terrible? Why are you stuttering?" he asked."No! Of course not!" I exclaimed to cover my visible fear. "Since I am a major contributor to the partnership project, can I get a small percentage of shares?" I asked as I quickly changed my request."You know that's impossible. We can't have any connection after the end of the contract. What about an increment in your salary and the remaining half payment?" he asked.I shouted excitedly and threw myself at him. I had been earning quite well since I signed the contract with Leo. On a side was my actual payment and on the other was my salary which was quite a sizeable amount. He was surprised by my reaction but he pulled away from me."See you tomorrow," he said and exited the room. He was avoiding any contact with me like a plague. I guessed it was due to his father's persistent comment about his approval of me. FEW DAYS LATERDue to the success of our partnership and the completion of the building before i
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 68. An Unintended Date
EMILY POV"She has nothing to do with this. Don't even think about it. I know her and what she's capable of. It was someone else who knew I was developing something," Leo replied.I heaved a sigh as I heard him defend me. That was unlike him but I guessed he was starting to trust me for real."Okay, then! I will work out the other details and our next line of action with Mr. Jude," the lawyer said."Alright," Leo replied and ended the call.I rushed back to my previous spot and pretended to look over the water."So where were we?" he asked, standing beside me and holding the railings. "At the point where your phone rang and you picked the call," I replied and let out a laugh. He grinned as well."I didn't know you could unwind this way. I felt it was always about women and clubbing and…," I said while gesturing but as our faces met, I stopped midway. "Sorry, I don't mean to offend you. I'm just surprised," I quickly added."It's no problem. I know that you think I'm a jerk, flirting w
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 69. Partially Strange Feelings
EMILY POVI felt stupid as I stared at Leo's dreamy eyes. The anger I felt towards him abated and I quickly freed myself from his hold. I avoided his gaze as he paid little attention to my reaction."Let's head to the office in my car. I want you to meet some stakeholders as we prepare for the opening ceremony," he said, scrolling through his phone."Alright," I said, then he laughed all of a sudden."I didn't even get a thank you for saving me," he said as he walked behind me.I smiled shyly then whispered a "thank you." As we drove to work, I hummed a sound from my earphones and moved my body to the rhythm. As I turned to face my side, Leo's eyes were on me. I instantly stopped dancing and sat upright. I could not fathom why he was giving me more attention than he used to. I wondered if it was our mini date to the beach side or he was starting to follow his father's instructions. Falling in love with me was out of the question so I did not think about it."As I said earlier, we got
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 70. Caught In The Act
ANNABEL POVI reflected over all I had done as I drove to the headquarters of R&B Group to meet Leo. He had totally changed since the last time we met. He did not pick my calls. He avoided any meetings or seminars which I might possibly attend. He avoided his usual hangout club and hotels like a plague. The only way we could meet by chance was the opening ceremony for the partnership between our companies. However, I could not wait for the chance. I had to make a move so I decided to pay him a visit in his office. I cared less to think about Emily, my rival because my entire body and soul longed for Leo. I had done so much to have him to myself. We had sex almost everyday before Emily came into the picture but he never asked me to marry him. I could not tell the reason but it was not far-fetched because his father didn't approve of me. He had nothing against our friendship because he knew Leo slept with me countless times but I wasn't an ideal type of a daughter-in-law.When I saw t
