Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 39
Natalie Jackson:"Good afternoon, Madam. Where are you heading to without an umbrella?" Alex asked, smiling at me politely."I'm going to the company. You know that I do not know how to drive. Or can you drive?" I asked. I felt eager to cruise in one of Franklin's cars. I was his wife. Recalling the day that Franklin had opened his car door for Amelia like a gentleman made me sad."I'm sorry, Madam. I don't know how to drive. But you could tell my boss to hire a driver for you," Alex politely spoke to me."No, it's fine. I can manage. Just pull the gate open; I will get a taxi on the way," I said to him, smiling back.Alex hastily pulled the black gate open, and I stepped out, waving goodbye to him as I left the compound.Walking along the estate road, I saw a black car driving up to exit the estate. The car slowed down and parked ahead, making my brows furrow."Excuse me, pretty lady. Where are you heading to? Come on, hop in my car, let me give you a free ride," the potbelly man in
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 40
Michael Austin:Arriving at H.W Global for a new business deal that my dad signed with Franklin's father wasn’t what I had expected. We were family friends growing up, and though I didn’t like to get involved in my dad’s business, these old men seemed to be in a club. They worked together like brothers, assisting one another. Now, my dad had called me to attend the meeting.The woman I desired to marry, despite the silly family background that surrounded her, was snatched away by my very good friend, Franklin Howard. I couldn’t believe it; when I woke up that day three years ago with the news from Franklin, “I am getting married, bro. This is a quick marriage, and I want you to be my best man.”When I asked him who his bride was, I couldn’t believe that it was my girl crush. I was angry when I saw her arrive at the wedding venue with her family."How the heck did this happen, Franklin? Why didn’t you tell me it was her?"I wanted to switch places with Franklin and be the man exchangin
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 41
Franklin Howard:I returned to my office and saw my wife waiting for me."Babe," I said as I walked up to meet her and hugged her.Natalie had a deep scowl on her face, and I asked her, "What's wrong, babe? Who hurt you?""Frank, it's your secretary. She disrespected me and refused to let me wait for you here!" Natalie sobbed, and I became annoyed.I knew I hadn't introduced her to my staff as my wife, but hearing those men discuss her made me understand why they had been talking about her.She looked so ravishing in her pretty red dress that seeing her cry aroused me. I’m not a sadistic person, but I love to hear her groan whenever I’m on top of her.I picked up my office line and phoned my secretary."Come into my office immediately," I said and ended the call as I rubbed my wife's back, trying to soothe her."What did you do to my wife?" I asked Mary Elliott as she entered my office."You sent for me, boss?" she said."Yes! Answer me! What did you do to my wife?" I asked her, and s
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 42
Franklin Howard: Despite several attempts to call my wife, the phone call did not connect. I sighed as my office doorbell rang, and I answered Mary's call with, "Let him in." Wesley walked into my office wearing a black suit. "You sent for me, sir," he explained. "Yes." I exhaled, trying to reassure myself that Natalie would have nothing to do with Michael. I looked up at Wesley and asked, "What about the domestic staff I assigned you to find?" "Sir, I am currently processing that. I met two women, and I am not sure if you will like them," he said. "What is their age?" I asked. Wesley responded, "One is 55 years old, and the other is 45." "Invited them to come see me right away. Please let me know if they are suitable for the job, but keep an eye out for other candidates as well. In case Natalie does not like any of them," I explained. "Okay, boss. When should I invite them to come?" Wesley inquired, and I responded, "Tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday, so you should invite them ov
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 43
Natalie Jackson:When I left Franklin's office to head home, I saw Michael waiting for me again, standing beside his car.I knew that my husband had warned me to stay away from Michael, but then I didn't want to be mean to Michael. He was a nice man to me. So, it was only right that I acknowledge him, and if what Franklin said about Michael wanting me were true, I planned to explain to Michael that it could not work out that way between us."Natalie," Michael slowly called my name. I paused and looked in his direction."Michael, are you still around? I thought you had gone home," I told him. He smiled, his usual way of smiling at me, as he moved away from his car trunk where he had been resting and replied, "No. I haven't. I assumed you would be going home, so I offered to drop you off."I frowned, wanting to refuse, and knowing that Franklin had warned me not to follow Michael, but then he was my husband's best friend. I still felt Franklin was just overreacting, and there was no cri
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 44
Natalie Jackson:I gulped and walked up to the front door. I rang the doorbell, thinking Franklin had locked the door, but as I turned the door handle, it unlocked, and I walked into the house feeling nervous after seeing Franklin standing on the balcony adjacent to the gate.I wondered how I would explain things to Franklin now. I didn't want to break his trust in me, and he might think otherwise after seeing me with Michael.I walked into the kitchen first to prepare our dinner since it was already late. I set the pot of soup we had left on the fire to prepare an African meal. A few minutes later, Franklin came downstairs, and the kitchen door slid open as he entered to meet me.I was done preparing the soup and Semovita, and I turned to face Franklin."Good evening, Frank," I bit my lower lip nervously as I looked at his handsome face.His brows drew into a thin line, and he asked me, "Where are you coming from, Natalie? Look at the time; you're just arriving home at 8 PM, and yet,
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 45
Natalie Jackson:Saturday arrived, and it was a bright sunny day. Franklin and I had been sleeping in my room, which was the master bedroom of the house.Recall this room was also Frank's, but because he was avoiding me before, he went ahead and started sleeping in the guest room.I was still sleeping on the bed when Frank came and woke me up."Babe, are you still sleeping? Wake up. It's almost 10 AM," he said, his deep voice reaching my eardrum."What?!" I sprang up on the bed and looked at the huge white wall clock in our room in shock."Oh my goodness! You caused this, Frank. We won't do anything intimate for today henceforth," I said, and Frank burst out laughing as he was wrapped in a white towel.Clearly, he had bathed while I was still lying on the bed and sleeping before he came to wake me.I pouted my lips as Franklin walked to the bed to meet me. "You know that's not possible," he said, trying to touch me, but I escaped his touch.I crawled out of the bed from the other side
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 46
Natalie Jackson:Franklin shut the car door and got into the driver's seat. He looked at me, and I smiled, meeting his gaze, before he buckled his seatbelt and turned on the car AC.After that, he honked his horn and waved over to Alex to pull the gate open.Franklin drove out of the driveway and onto the estate road. Once he was out of the estate, he navigated his car onto the expressway and drove towards his family's mansion.They were billionaires, although I didn't know much about all the assets that Franklin and his family had. But they were very influential.After a few more minutes of driving along the expressway, Franklin arrived at the estate that led down to his family house. The security men greeted him and welcomed him as he drove into the estate.We arrived at the front gate of his father's residential villa.Frank drove in after the security men had searched his car. He parked and looked at me, as we hadn't visited here for almost a year now."Welcome home, babe," Frankl

**Natalie's POV**After I finished my bath, I dressed in a red top and black flared skirt, paired with my black sandals. I hurriedly grabbed my debit card and phone, placed them in my purse, and rushed to the market to buy all the ingredients I needed to prepare the delicious meal I wanted to take to the company for my husband.The market wasn't far, and luckily, I got a cab that took me there. I paid for both the ride there and back, returning home on time. I made a pot of yam and eggs since there was still time until lunch break.Franklin had already called me and told me he would be in a meeting when he asked if I was coming to his company. I smiled and told him yes after finishing cooking and seeing his missed calls. I was excited, so I wrapped up my arrangements, feeling eager to go to H.W. Global in my new car. However, since I hadn’t learned how to drive yet, I booked an Uber and recalled that Amelia had given me a birthday present the previous weekend. I hurried back to th
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 83
Amelia's POVIt's been 6 weeks plus since I had an affair with Michael. Although I tried to reach out to him, he had blocked my number, clearly not interested in speaking with me.I couldn't forget our intimate night, and I thought of how to get his attention again.I had wanted to use my father, but it didn't work out, and I didn't want my brothers to get mad at me if they found out the truth that I was the one who had flung myself at Michael just because he wanted to get Natalie's number.I tried to reach out to Gloria, but she was totally avoiding me, and I didn't understand why.The last time I came across her salon, she sent me out and embarrassed me.I couldn't understand what I did to her, but I was determined to get her brother whether Gloria liked me or not.I came hovering around Franklin's office, wanting to ask him about Michael's company.Michael had placed tight security on me, not to let me into his house, and I knew he was still interested in Natalie. If Natalie was th

**Franklin Howard**I arrived at H.W. Global at 8 AM and went to my office on the third floor. I received the report for the press meeting that we had at noon, due to my one-month absence from the company.I had completely forgotten that Amelia still worked here, and seeing her hovering around my secretary's door, I frowned as she greeted me, smiling bashfully. I recalled that Natalie had told me Amelia was up to something mischievous, but I didn't care to know."Good morning, CEO Franklin," Amelia greeted me with a wide grin on her pretty fair face. She wore a white shirt, a black skirt, and silver shoes. Her blonde hair was let loose, and she looked beautiful."Morning. What do you want here?" I asked her, not smiling, as my secretary, Ms. Mary Elliott, rose from her chair and greeted me too. "Morning, sir.""Morning, Mary. Prepare the files for all the appointments I have today," I instructed her, noting she was dressed in the same style as Amelia."Okay, sir," Mary settled back
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 81
**Natalie’s POV**I woke up the next morning and found myself still in bed. It was a bright Monday morning, and I knew that Franklin was finally going to work. The weekend had been splendid, and he had tried his best to make me feel better.As I carefully crawled out of the vast bed, the sound of water running in the bathroom caught my attention. I knew that Franklin was in there taking a bath, so I went to the closet to grab an outfit to wear.The time was past 7 AM, and my mind wandered back to the events of the weekend—Franklin getting me a new car on our return trip, and the fact that it was my birthday. He confessed his love for me and asked me not to leave him.I decided to stop worrying about anything else, including our inability to have a child. I believe that a child will come to us soon. So I carefully took a nightdress and put it on to go downstairs and prepare my husband’s breakfast like the good wife that I was.As I stepped out of the closet and got dressed, Franklin wa

**Franklin's POV:**Inside Doctor Famous's office, I watched him examine my wife while asking her a few questions. His lab assistant came in and drew her blood into a test tube."When was the last time you saw your menstrual cycle?" he asked her after checking her body."This week," Natalie replied, her head lowered, and Dr. Famous smiled."It's alright. Everything will be fine," he assured her, but her face fell as she watched him finish his physical examination."Doctor, is it possible to be pregnant and menstruating at the same time?" Natalie asked, and he shrugged."In some cases, but it's a rare occurrence. You shouldn't worry about being pregnant, madam. Pregnancy comes on its own," he assured her, typing on his laptop, but Natalie wasn’t happy."Doctor, we should wait for the test report. I just want to find out if I am pregnant," she said, as if being pregnant were the only way to make me love her and not divorce her."You will. How about the last supplements I prescribed to y
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 79
**Franklin Howard:**I wasn't pleased with the fact that Michael came to my house the previous night and brought a birthday present for my wife. Although Natalie told me it was nothing and that I should forgive Michael and be friends with him, I couldn't be friendly with a man who lusted after my wife. I was sure many other men in my position wouldn't want to get close to someone who openly gawked at their partner.Wesley arrived with the two women to take care of sweeping and mopping my mansion to make it look neat. It’s not like Natalie wasn't doing that before, but I decided to treat her right. Since I had the money to pay for the househelp, getting someone wasn’t a big deal. However, Natalie chose the two women.They finished sweeping the entire mansion, but when Natalie came to inform me that she wanted to go to the hospital to see Dr. Famous, I decided to follow her."Ma'am, you’re done with your job for today. My wife and I will be going out," I said to one of the two women, na
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 78
**Natalie's POV.**It was nighttime, the weather had turned dark, and the estate road was deserted, with only a few passersby.As I stepped out of the gate, I saw Michael standing beside his car—a black car."Hi, good evening," I greeted him as I walked up gently to meet him."Evening, Natalie. Happy birthday to you," he replied, looking genuinely happy to see me as his dark eyes held mine. He wore a crisp white shirt and black trousers, paired with black sandals. He was also holding a white plastic bag as I approached him to accept his gift."I couldn't wait until tomorrow to present this to you. I saw the videos Franklin posted and knew you were back," he said as I reached him and accepted his gift."Thank you, but you shouldn't have stressed about coming here at this hour. It's getting late," I said, knowing the clock had passed 10 PM."I wouldn't mind coming here at 11 PM or midnight to present my gift to you. But I’m glad to see that Franklin is taking good care of you," he said,
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 77
**Natalie's POV:**I immediately recoiled from Amelia’s hug, unable to suppress my irritation."Stand back," I said to her, then immediately looked at our father. "Good evening, Dad.""Natalie, how are you doing?" Dad asked, while Amelia frowned and moved back to meet our father."I am fine, Dad. Nice to see you both," I forced out my response, and Dad smiled at me."I am glad to see that Franklin is taking good care of you. It’s actually your birthday, and I told Amelia to join me in seeing you. We brought a present for you too," Dad said, waving over to the white plastic bag he was holding for Amelia to give to me.Amelia marched up to the center table and dropped the bag there. "Happy birthday to you, Natalie," she said, smiling, but I frowned, looking at her.*What does she want that made her look so happy?* I was lost in thought and didn't hear what my father said."Natalie, you should try to calm down so that you can conceive and give your husband children. Getting angry with Am
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 76
**Natalie's POV**I jumped up in joy and rushed to unlock the car. "Are you serious, babe? Is this car really for me?" I asked my husband in disbelief, as I couldn't believe my ears."Yes. It's pretty—a brand-new Mercedes Benz GLC. It's all for you, my love," Franklin said, and I was so happy."Oh my goodness!" I rushed to envelope him in a tight, warm hug."Thank you so much, my sweetheart. I wasn't expecting this lovely present," I said to him, and he grinned."You don't have to thank me. Don't worry; I will get you more lovely presents, okay?" Franklin told me as he held me closer and sealed his lips on mine."Can I start the car?" I asked him as a wave of excitement washed over me. I was so happy, yet nervous. I hadn't been to a driving school, but I just wanted to sit my butt in the car and start it."Yes, you can. But don’t drive it. I’m sure you don’t have any driving experience," Franklin said, and I grinned.As I accepted the car key, I opened the car door and sat inside. Fra
