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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 71. He Is Mine
EMILY POVI kept waiting till Leo arrived from the factory so I could inform him about Kay's suspicious conversation. My secretary had called to inform me so I raced to his office. On my way, I sighted Annabel and it made me wonder why she was at the company. She had worn such a seductive dress and when she took the next turn, I could tell that she was heading to Leo's office. No way would I allow my husband to be alone with her in such a dress. Even though I tried not to believe what Vera had told me some days ago, I was still suspicious of her. I watched as she conversed with the receptionist then entered the office. My lips quivered and I felt my blood boil. Who did she think she was to storm into Leo's office without permission? I walked towards the receptionist and she stood up immediately."You can't go in now, ma'am. He has a guest," she said. I could sense her desire to cover up her boss since she knew that Leo was formerly a flirt."I know he does," I said and made to leav
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 72. Another Side Of Him
EMILY POV“I’m sorry!” he blurted out without looking at my face. I turned to face him and smiled.“I’ll pretend that nothing happened here today so we can focus on other important matters,” I said. His eyes glowed with a glint and I could feel him warming up to me. Whenever he drew close to me, I always got the urge to tell him about our baby. I touched my belly and sighed.“Would you like to grab lunch with me,” he asked. I was startled and I gawked at him. I could not stop wondering if he was sick. When and why did he start paying attention to me? It couldn’t be his father’s instruction because he was totally against it.“Of course, I’ll go grab my bag,” I replied and hurried out of the office.We arrived at the same spot by the beach side where he took me the previous day. We had bought some packaged meals from the supermarket on our way. I was excited because I felt it was like a mini-picnic. I almost started grinning like a child but I had to caution myself so he wouldn’t tease
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 73. Annabel Stirs Trouble
EMILY POVI wore a cream long gown with a thigh slit. Leo proudly held my hand as we made our way through the crowd and cameras flashed in our eyes. “How do you feel about this partnership with your husband’s ex-girlfriend’s company?” a reporter asked all of a sudden. My blood grew hot and I clenched my fist."What sort of question is that?" Leo replied and pulled me away.I gritted my teeth and calmed my angry nerves.The event's moderator beckoned on us to join her as well as Annabelle. Then she gestured to Leo and Annabelle to hold a large pair of scissors as they officially opened the building. Then the crowd applauded as they cut the ribbon. I could see Annabelle holding Leo's hand as she drew close to him."How nice to see you after our previous encounter," I said as I grabbed Leo's arm."It's nothing nice and I won't pretend to be happy about it," she replied. I was startled because she was too blunt."Well, that's your problem not mine," I replied and pulled Leo's hand. "Can
