The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 90. The Lid Is Off
LEO POVI was worried about Emily. We had started getting close so I could tell when she was anxious. She always had a certain glow that radiated all over her which was quite endearing but it burned down all of a sudden. She became touchy like she did when we were in the car back from the seminar. She even turned down my offer to watch movies and left for work earlier than usual. I could sense that she was hiding something from me but I could not tell what it was. I wasn't her confidant but we still shared a bit of information about ourselves. She would not feel so nervous around me if the matter did not concern me. After getting dressed for work, I sauntered to the dining room."Did Emily tell you anything?" I asked Martha as she placed a bowl of fruits before me after serving the main meal."No, she didn't. She left early while we cleaned the house," she replied. I nodded then ate my breakfast while pondering on endless thoughts about Emily. After I was done eating, I drove to the
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 91. At A Crossroad
LEO POV"You should say that to yourself because you're the disgrace here. We had a deal!" I yelled then barged out of the room. My head felt like it would explode. I could never imagine that Emily would be pregnant. It was never an idea that I pondered on. I walked out of the hospital to my car then kicked the tires as if they were the source of my woes. I was not ready for a real marriage. Even though I had already fallen for Emily, I was still processing the thought of keeping her as a wife. My feelings were novel and I wanted to explore them, get to know her better and confirm if I was truly in love with her. My head was banging loudly so I went into my car and drove out of the hospital. I rode back and walked straight to the doctor after a few hours of thinking. It did me no good though. I was so mad at her and I was not ready to become a father. Not just yet. It was too sudden. The child could not be mine. It would be Max's, the man for whom she had been spacing out these few d
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 92. Desperate Situations Calls For Desperate Actions
LEO POV"You were not deaf when I talked about getting an abortion last night or did you think I was joking?" I asked. She gawked at me and tears swelled up in her eyes. She stood from her position and faced me squarely."I guess you were not deaf as well because I clearly stated that I would never get a abortion. I'll deliver this child whether you accept it or not," she said, gritting her teeth. We were looking into each other's eyes as if our eyeballs were at war. "Fine then!" I exclaimed and walked to her closet. She followed behind me and was startled when I suddenly dragged her shoes down from rack and pulled her cloths off her hanger."Get the hell out of my house! I gave you two options didn't I? You either choose me or Max and that baby," I fumed."So this is all about Max? You don't even know who he is? You simply heard me say his name and you jumped to conclusions? You're such an hypocrite. How did I ever think that you had changed?" she said."Great speech but I don't giv
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 93. Sacred Reality
LEO POV"To be honest, it is quite dangerous to have an abortion at her stage. She's in her second trimester," Dr. Fred said."I need you to conduct a test. I can't follow mere words. I need evidence," I said to the doctor then turned to face Emily. "You can't force a child on me. I won't allow it," I said.The doctor had Emily sit on a chair to calm her down as she cried endlessly. I could not stand her tears so I moved out of the room. My guard stood behind as I sat on the chair in the hallway. Then a nurse walked in and Emily was taken to the examination room. As she threw a glance at me, all I could see in her eyes was hate. My emotions were getting the better of me but I could not be swayed. She was the architect of all the problems. She started it. I was not the bad guy. I only had priorities and a sudden pregnancy out of the blues was out of the question. I waited for a few minutes before the results were out. By the time I walked into the office, Emily was seated in the corne
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 94. Love Or Infatuation
LEO POV"It's fine since it's your decision," she replied then stood up from the chair. "I only have one request," she added."And you think you're still in the position to make a request?" I asked."It's for everyone's good. I would like to guide my team on the new project before leaving. It was my idea and I won't have anyone take my spotlight or ruin the project. At least, grant me this as a reward for my relentless efforts towards the company's success," she replied."Very well then. You have just a week," I responded then she left the room.*********I had just finished a meeting with some government top officials when Jude showed up at the entrance of R&B headquarters building. He was the only one missing from my entourage. "Where were you? I almost collapsed from anxiety!" he screamed, drawing the attention of everyone in the reception hall."Calm down, man!" I said and he followed me to my office while the onlookers stood, puzzled by his reaction."Don't ever pull such a stu
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 95. A Step Closer To The Real Emily
LEO POV"What about Max? Remember that we're also in a contract marriage," I said."Why should Max matter if you love her? You're Leo Robbins. You can get any woman you want so fighting for Emily should not be hard. And if you truly love her, accepting your child should not become a messy situation," Jude said."What if it's not love. What if it's just infatuation?" I blurted out. Jude shot me an 'I'm tired of this' stare and dropped a wine glass. "Then you need to take rest because your brain is messed up pretty bad," he replied and helped me to the car.********The curtains opened automatically as I woke up the next morning. I took my bath and prepared to leave for the gym. The entire house seemed to be too alive than it usually was when I arrived at the living room."What's with the noise all over the place? Can't you guys do cleaning quietly?" I yelled and almost immediately, Martha showed up out of nowhere and bowed."Good morning, sir," she greeted."What's good about the morn
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 96. Mea Culpa
LEO POVI raised my head to face Jude instantly. "Come again. Max is who?" I asked."She had a younger brother who is in his last year in high school. His name is Max. From the information I gathered, he was kidnapped a few days before you met Emily. Then his abductors had allegedly dropped him in front of the apartment and ran off. He had been in a coma ever since," Jude explained.I held my head with my hands then kicked my table. I was a complete idiot to think she had a lover. She had been concerned about her unconscious brother but I was insensitive to accuse her of infidelity which I was guilty of. I browsed through the document and found the name of the hospital where he was admitted. I held the document, picked my car keys and hurried to my car. Jude could not stop me as I sped out of the company's environment before he could reach me.I rushed into the hospital and requested to meet Max Jones but was denied access. No matter what I said, it made no sense to them."Even if he
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 97. Reality Check
LEO POVEmily could not take her eyes off me nor could she take the gifts from me. "Take them. They're yours," I urged her."Are you feeling okay?" she asked. My actions warranted such a question and I deserved it."I'm totally fine. You were not at the office today," I said."You ordered me to stay away from the company so I only visit when it's urgent. I can direct my team through my phone," she explained and looked away. I bit my lower lip as I was confused about what to do next. I sat beside her on the bed and she flinched."I know that I've been hard on you these past few days but can we call it truce?" I said."Call it truce? Can you hear yourself right now? We don't have to pretend that we're friends. I'll be gone before you know it," she said and stood up from my side. I stood up as well and faced her."If this is about the baby, it's fine. You win, okay? I know that the baby is mine," I blurted out. She suddenly started laughing which was quite unsettling and I was baffled m
