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
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 22. Failing to get it right
LEO POV"That's enough, Alice. You've made your point and she's understood. Make sure you confirm the numbers before making any presentation before the board, Emily," I said and rounded off the meeting.Emily bowed and stepped out in anger. She headed for her office but a few executives stopped to talk to her."You don't have to be discouraged. You did great there," one of the directors said."We look forward to your next presentations," another said and smiled.They shook hands with her and left while one of the directors, who was a young man, waited behind. I stood at the hallway as if speaking to Jude while I listened in on their conversation. "Great job, Emily. I loved your presentation and I'm impressed you got all that done in a few days. The hardest part was the market and client research which you've done successfully," Mr. Jeff said."Thank you so much, Jeff. I appreciate your help in getting those materials together," Emily replied and wore a bright smile. "Would you mind
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 23. Reign of Terror
EMILY POVMy blood boiled as I glanced at the files right in front of me. They weren’t sent as softcopy documents but rather as hard copy files. I laughed hysterically and cursed at Leo.I kicked my chair and table as well as screamed in anger. My secretary had to check up on me before I calmed my nerves and sat on my chair.I stared into nothing and began to think about my life. I had already gotten attached to Leo Robbins and the wealthy lifestyle so I couldn’t imagine what life would be if I went back to my former life.My mind switched to Max and I felt pity for him. The hospital had no good news to share regarding his recovery. I kept sending a huge amount of money so he could keep living in the best room in the hospital.I couldn’t ask Leo for money except that of my payment for the contract marriage. My only consolation was the job I was given in the company.I sat behind my desk and started reading the files one after another. When it was lunch break, I headed to the last floo
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 24. Men code
LEO POVI glanced at Kay and my eyes held his. I was infuriated because he kept playing the good guy, making me the bad guy in front of Emily.I suppressed my firm grip on her arm and stared at Kay, "I'm talking to my wife right now so I'll appreciate the privacy," I said and glared back at Emily who looked at me with contempt. She obviously thought I was the rudest man ever but I cared less."When would you stop being so overly dramatic? And why do you feel so insecure when Emily's with me?" he asked and shrugged."Let's have a man-to-man talk. Emily should leave us for now," he said.I had always respected Kay until the moment he roped me in a serious drug case in high school.I felt betrayed ever since and we couldn't see eye to eye most times. I noticed how calm he was when I was suddenly raised to the top-tier level of the company at twenty one. I had deserved it since I raised the company's revenue three years in a row.However, his calm disposition was disturbing since he was o
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 25. Unintended Golfing Buddies
EMILY POVI had given up on understanding Leo because he was an unpredictable, harsh and wicked human. He was insensitive to other people's emotions unlike his brother who made me feel at ease.While he questioned me about the reason I asked Kay out for coffee, I wondered why the latter told him about it.It was supposed to be an innocent meeting where I'd thank him for being a great source of relief to me but telling Leo was like blowing it out of proportion. I couldn't stand his questions so I made to exit the office.However, he grabbed me and pulled me into a corner. His body was huge, masculine and tall over mine and I couldn't fathom why he had me in that position.He looked down at my face then on my lips. I avoided his gaze and looked down at my feet but he held my chin up. He drew me closer and his lips came close to mine. I was startled when he closed his eyes and placed his lips on mine.He grabbed my waist and kissed me hard which almost made me breathless. I was deeply sh
