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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 98. He Eats A Humble Pie
EMILY POVIt was strange. After Leo rejected our baby and promised to dissolve our contract in a week, I wasn't myself anymore. I was in love with him yet he did not love me like I felt he did. He even had the guts to carry me like a fugitive to the hospital. I decided to steer clear of him so that I could forget him and probably stop loving him. However, the pain was unbearable. He was everywhere I turned at work and at home. Then all of a sudden, he came home with presents after he had rejected my food and treated me like a leper. I could not understand what was going on. I thought he was sick or I was hallucinating but it was real. Leo was trying all he could to make me forgive him. He sent me gifts and I caught him staring at me several times. It was as if he had encountered a divine power because his attitude change was unexplainable. When we got to the hospital and he talked about Max, I knew that he had gotten someone to do a background check on me. Something he felt was unne
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 99. When Two Hearts Meet
EMILY POVI fed on Leo's medicine-sweet lips till I ran out of breath. My heart was racing and my head went blank. I pressed my hands against his chest which was my signal to break the kiss. His eyes met mine and he embraced me without restrictions, as if he just got free from a bondage.While we drove home, I stole glances at him. It was a hilarious thing to do and I enjoyed every bit of it. Leo pretended not to see me while I looked at him. It was like a dream. One I had been wishing and waiting for a long time. He grabbed my hand and pulled it closer to him as if its warmth was the fuel he needed to drive. I giggled and held his hand firmly. The night breeze was filled was chilly, perfect for our ride and I wished the drive wouldn't end. We were almost at the villa when I had a distracting thought. I wanted to tell Leo about the mysterious packages but I could not. I wasn't sure if he was to be trusted with the information especially since it was about his family. Nevertheless, I w
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 100. A Knight In Shining Armor
EMILY POV"That's right! She should know better because she is my wife and she has every right to everything in my company. Her only fault was going to that office and making her request like a low level employee," Leo said and looked my way. I was marveled by his words. It was the least of my expectations. Then he turned to face Alice with his his daredevil glare."And you should know better than to bring this before the board, wasting our time when we have more important things to do. If you care to know, the young man you claimed had been suspended is working peacefully in his station so if you would not mind, I want us to get back to the salient issues at hand," Leo said. I wanted to scream and embrace him. It made me so proud to be his wife. He was the husband I had always wanted. My prince charming and knight in shining armor. After packing my things, I exited the room while Leo didn't share as much as a glance at me. I bet it was all pretense and I could not help but smile.***
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 101. A Visit To The Hood
EMILY POV"Why?" Leo asked."I don't want to leave Max anymore. I don't know what might happen if we leave. I want to stay close to him," I explained. Since I discovered that Justin knew about Max, Kay found me at the same hospital and the person responsible for the anonymous packages also knew about him, I decided to stay around him. I would stay in New York till he gets out of the coma."Does anyone know about Max?" he asked. It was my opportunity to expose Justin but I could not afford to risk hurting my brother. The anonymous package was also about Leo's family which meant there was more to the events unfolding."Not really. I just want him to be safe," I replied."Then I can get an elite team of guards to stay around his room and keep him protected while we're on our trip," he suggested.THE NEXT DAY"I hope that we do not get caught. You're a public figure and I'm your wife with a fake identity. We could get in serious trouble if someone recognizes us," I said as we approached m
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 102. Surety
EMILY POVI stepped out of the jacuzzi after taking a cold bath. It was what I needed to get refreshed after our encounter with Crystal. Leo was a little bit quieter than he used to be, which was a cause for concern. I wore an attractive nightgown just to charm him for the night. While he worked on his laptop like he always did, I appeared beside him on the bed."Can you place that aside and just relax for the night. This could be a business trip but it's also an opportunity to take a break," I said, closing his laptop and setting it aside on my table. He stared at me for a few seconds then breathed in and held me close."You don't need to do so much to cheer me up. Crystal means nothing to me. I just get the feeling that she wouldn't appear in Europe and at our exact resort without a reason. She's up to no good like she always is," Leo explained."Had she done something before?" I asked."Almost duped me of millions of dollars," he replied."Really? And she had the guts to show up he
