The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 14. Mysterious Plans
LEO POVMy thoughts wandered off to the previous night. Jude had visited my office with some updates and while I perused the papers, we discussed.“Have you seen Emily this evening,” I asked, feigning indifference.“Yeah, she’s heading home now. I told her you’re working late tonight,” Jude said.“Hmmm,” I muttered and closed the document. “She had the nerve to leave while I was still in the office,” I mumbled and stood up.“Where are you going?” Jude asked but I rushed out in a hurry. Emily was taking a larger part of my thoughts and it infuriated me. I’ve never had to think about a woman before.I was a misogamist who enjoyed having sex and clubbing but all that changed because of one woman. The same woman was also on the verge of making me a public object of ridicule after what she had done the previous night. A knock on the door jolted me from my thought. “Come in,” I said.Emily came in and closed the door behind her. My blood boiled as I saw her and I called the secretary immedi
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 15. Terminating Leo Jr.
EMILY POVI had never imagined that Leo would yell at me to the extent of slapping my face. I grabbed the pole behind me for support while I struggled with staying sane as I felt dizzy all of a sudden, Leo left the parking lot in anger.I pulled myself together and made my way to leave the area. After walking four feet away from where I was slapped, I felt a sudden dizziness overtook me and darkness enveloped my vision afterwards. When I regained my consciousness, I felt the smell of medicines sting my nose. I sneezed twice and tried to stand up from the bed.“Where am I?” I asked, squinting my eyes to get a clearer vision. “You need to rest or you’ll hurt the baby. You were rushed to this hospital after you fainted,” a nurse who was checking my vital signs replied.I nodded in response and closed my eyes. They suddenly fluttered open when I thought about Leo. I wondered if he might be on his way to see me since he had to pretend to be the perfect husband.“No!!!” I screamed and rem
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 16. A new rival
EMILY POV I felt faint inside and for a few seconds, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I wondered how much of the conversation he heard. “Leo! What are you doing here?” I asked him, surprise written all over my face. “What kind of question is that? Did you think I’ll stand still when my wife fainted and was rushed to the hospital?” he asked and turned to face the doctor and me simultaneously. “What were you talking about? Who’s keeping a baby?” he asked. Then I knew he didn’t hear our previous conversation until the doctor’s last words. I made eye contact with her and moved my head in the negative. She got my message and smiled. “I was having a conversation with one of my patients until you walked in,” she said and took off her earphones from her ears. I was startled by her quick moves in covering up for me. “Are you Emily’s husband?” she asked. “Yes and you must be her personal doctor since she had to had to leave another hospital for yours,” he said and gazed
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 17. A Friend or a Foe?
EMILY POV I could not believe her as I stood there, looking straight into her eyes. I tried to imagine what she was thinking to possess such an audacity. Unknown to me that she witnessed what transpired between Leo and me at the parking lot, I flashed back to the last two days when we had physical discussions. We were on good terms and she gave me enough respect, befitting Mrs. Robbins. I was oblivious of the fact that Alice was in love with Leo and our argument had given her the opportunity to approach Leo once again after her failed attempt when he was a bachelor. "I think you're starting to forget your place in this company. Don't bite more than you can chew," I said with confidence written all over my face. Whether Leo loved me or not, I was his legal wife which gave me an edge over every employee in the organization. "And you're having unfeasible expectations. You should get the A-plus file now before he beckons to us," Alice said with an air of pride. Unfeasible expectatio
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 18. Unwanted attraction
EMILY POV"I need to visit some place before heading home. I didn't mean to eavesdrop your conversation," I said.Deep down, I was curious to know if Annabel was a friend or foe. My mind rewind back to my engagement party with Leo. She had a strange attraction to me. She loved me for no reason at all.I couldn't help but wonder if she was a true friend or just a rival trying to use me to get closer to her ex-boyfriend or seeking revenge for taking him away from her."It's fine, Emily. We're friends," she said and we walked back to the main hall."I didn't know you and Leo were so close," I said. I couldn't stay mute. My curiosity had gotten to the apex level as I ached to know the kind of relationship they had."We are very close. We've dated once before too," she said, gesturing to her personal assistant who followed behind us."That's a surprise," I exclaimed as we approached the exit. She got me wondering why she divulged the information. "Thanks for agreeing to work with us. I hav
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 19. How we start Lovin'
EMILY POV"What are you trying to do?" I yelled without looking at his face."What's your problem? I'm not even coming close to you. I'm leaving the bed for you and what did you say? That I'm trying to do something?" he yelled. I kept mute as I avoided his face."You think the world revolves around you? I can't wait to be off this stressful relationship," he said and went into the walk-in closet.★★★★★★It's been over four weeks since I got married to Leo Robbins and denying my family name made me extremely ashamed.Even as I faced a camera for the first time to answer interview questions with my husband on a broadcast television channel, guilt ate me up."I admire you and your husband as a power couple, Mrs. Robbins," the presenter said with all smiles. "How do you feel about being married to the most eligible bachelor NYC had ever had before you took him off the singles market?"I breathed in and smiled. I had to remain composed as I answered each question even though I was nervous.
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 20. Is this Love?
LEO POV I had a series of meetings to attend but I couldn’t concentrate. I kept thinking about Emily and how she looked in her red suit. The thought of her face made me giggle until Jude finally advised me to end the meetings and head home. I was clearly distracted and he figured me out as he always does. “Where’s Emily?” I asked Jude who was following behind me as usual. “She’d be in her office. Her secretary informed me that she was working on some documents,” Jude replied. “Then we’re going to her office. I’m done for the day. Reschedule the other meetings,” I said and we took the elevator to Emily’s office. “Where’s my wife?” I asked her secretary who was preparing to leave. “She left with Mr. Kay,” she replied. “Which Mr. Kay? Why would she leave with any man?” I asked, my temper beginning to rise. Jude gestured to me and I kept myself in check. “Mr. Kay, your brother,” she replied. I felt my blood boil after she finished speaking. What was she doing with Kay when I was
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 21. Fragrance of Jealousy
LEO POV"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? I'm only trying to save you from embarrassment since you've lost total control of yourself with how you move with other men when you have a husband. And don't get ahead of yourself. I don't have even the tiniest bit of feeling for you," I replied her and closed my laptop. "I won't get ahead of myself so stop meddling in my life. I've always adhered to what was stated in the contract so we should not have any problems. This marriage is fake anyway so I don't see why I can't meet other men. I also have a life, you know," she said as she strived to put off the flames of her anger."Don't tell me that you can't see why you should avoid other men. You're legally married and almost everyone including the kids in NYC know that I'm your husband. I don't want to have tongues wagging about our relationship," I said and fumed."It was just an innocent meeting with your elder brother. Whoever thinks that I'm cheating on you is clearly delusional," she st
