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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 74. Hunt For The Sabotager
LEO POVEmily had earned my trust and respect with how she carried herself and this new plan of hers. I smiled sheepishly as we stood in the garage and waited for Jude to show up. Then he did and our suspect snuck up behind him. Jude pretended to drop something in the car and his phone rang. I had called him apparently as part of our plan. Then our suspect rushed to the car when Jude wasn’t looking but he was shocked to see an empty folder.“Are you surprised?” I asked, coming out of my hiding place with Emily. Jude also turned to face him and we had him cornered.“Mr. Leo,” he said, jittering in fear.“Follow me,” I said and he walked behind me nervously while Jude walked beside me.“How did you do it?” I asked.“Well, like Emily had said. I pretended to make a phone call that Fleece Group had the wrong design and that was why they found missing parts. Then I said the original design was right there with me as I headed to the car,” he explained.“And he took the bait,” I said and sm
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 75. Unraveling A Dark Secret
LEO POV"Have you ever wondered how your mother died?" Kay asked."Don't bring my mother into this conversation. She has nothing to do with this," I replied."She has everything to do with this," he said. My blood boiled and I grabbed my pocket knife, crossed over to him and held it to his throat."Don't you dare talk to me about that woman. If you think that would weaken my resolve, you're damn joking with yourself," I said. He laughed hysterically once more then glared at me."Take that silly thing off my throat. If you knew what I'm about to tell you, you wouldn't be so proud of yourself. You've always hated your mother for false reasons. That woman, even though I never liked you guys, she was still nice to me. May her soul rest in perfect peace," he said with mock horror."I'm done here. I'll make sure that Father and the entire world knows about what you've done," I threatened and moved away from him."Your mother never hurt father," he shouted so I could hear him before reachin
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 76. A Friend In Need
EMILY POVI was not surprised when the employee confessed that Kay had put him up to steal the designs. After he roped me in an infidelity scandal at work then tried to kiss me forcefully, I knew he was capable of worse things. However, I didn't expect Leo to react the way he did. While I thought he hated Kay, he still loved him as his brother, hence the disappointment. I was afraid we would get into an accident when he sped to the Robbins mansion but we did not. Then he rushed into the house and I missed the direction he went. I didn't want to ask the maids because they could be gossipers. Though a few of them noticed. Surprisingly, I made my way to Kay's study and heard the men talking. They were having a heated conversation so I stood by the door and eavesdropped their conversation. My jaw dropped when I heard that Mr. Robbins had killed his wife. I knew there was something off about the man but I could not pinpoint what it was. He had an evil aura around him and that would expl
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 77. A Date To Remember
EMILY POVMy eyes wore a surprised look and my jaw dropped. I wondered if Let was out to make his father pay already."What?! What did you just say to me?" Mr. Robbins yelled."I mean I can handle it myself. You don't need to get involved, Father. We are adults not teenagers. Kay knows the gravity of what he's done. I'll be expecting you in NYC soon," Leo replied and cut the call. I could deduce that he was controlling his temper as he spoke. I moved closer to him and patted his shoulder. "What do you think about taking the day off and spending time with me? I could show you my favorite artistic pieces at the museum," I suggested "I'd love that. I'll reach out to Jude to inform him. Meanwhile, can you keep my parents secret between us. I don't even want Jude to know about it," he said. My heart was filled with joy because he could trust me with such vital information. "Of course. Nobody needs to know," I replied.We ate breakfast in silence while I kept stealing glances at him. Aft
