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

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

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,

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

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 Jackson:Franklin did not look impressed that Gloria was in his family's house, and I could only wonder what was going through his mind as we started eating.The food was quite delicious, and I did not worry that it might have been drugged because we were all eating from the same pot that had been shared.After dinner ended, Mr. Howard invited Franklin and me to join him outside on the patio, and we sat there while the two men ventured into a business conversation.After a while, Mr. Howard said, "Frank, I know that you might be wondering why your mother invited Gloria Austin here to meet you and your wife. It's only because she's worried that you and Natalie haven't had any children yet. You both should consider doing that, as there are circulating rumors about you two having fertility issues, but I understand that's not the case. I am glad that you both have finally worked out your relationship, and I am happy to see that you both have accepted each other."We sat on the pla

Natalie Jackson:When Frank and I arrived home, I got out of his car and went back into the house."Natalie," Franklin called my name just as I was about to climb the stairs.I paused and waited to hear him out."I am sorry about what went on back there," he said, and I sighed, understanding that it was not his fault."It's alright. I do not hold any grudges against you," I said and turned to go upstairs.I went back to my bedroom and sank into the bed, lost in deep thoughts.I knew that Franklin and I had just reconciled our marriage, and I shouldn't take what his mother said or his family wanting him to marry Gloria seriously.I got up from the bed and went to bathe.Later, I came out from the bathroom, entered the closet, and grabbed a simple white nightgown because it was already night.As I got downstairs, Franklin was nowhere in sight in the living room, so I proceeded to the kitchen and prepared our dinner.Later at the dining table, Frank and I sat there having our dinner as t

Natalie Jackson:Walking outside of the house, the sun was high and shining brightly above me. However, the loud sounds of quarreling and arguing outside the gate caught my attention.It was Franklin's mother, and she was yelling at Alex and ordering him to open the gate."Alex! Open this damn gate, you silly gateman! Did Franklin ask you to lock me out?" she yelled. I gulped and went to the gate. I recalled I had told Alex not to allow any of my family into this compound, but I didn't remember if I told him not to allow Franklin's family either.As I arrived at the gate, my eyes grew wide to see Mrs. Kimberly arriving here with her white car. Not only that, she brought Gloria Austin with her."Good morning, Ma," I greeted Franklin's mother, who was wearing a native brown dress."Hold your greetings there, you slut! Did you order the gateman not to allow us into these premises again?" she asked, and before I could respond, her hand flew and came into contact with my left cheek, smacki

Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 143
Natalie's POV."I feel so emotional right now," I told my husband as we walked into the house together."You don't have to feel that way," Franklin said to me as we walked into the living room together."I just felt like your mother and your sister should have not left us right now," I laughed sadly and wiped off my tears, and my husband smiled and hugged me."You can always go and visit them if you want. My Dad's home isn't far," he said, caressing my shoulder warmly, and I nodded."I know," I hugged him and pulled him into a kiss as he was taller than me."Thanks for being a wonderful husband," I told Franklin once our lips parted, and he smiled."You're welcome," we kissed again and went to join my mother upstairs, since she was in her room with my twins and looking at us.The sun was hot, so we didn't want to take the twins under the sun to say their goodbyes to their grandma and aunt.As I went to pick up my phone, guess what I saw. It was a message from Amelia, showing me a diam
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 142
Amalie's POV.As I arrived at my father's house, I drove my car into the residence and parked it.I recalled Micheal's attempt to kiss me goodbye when he returned back with my son for us to leave.Almond was crying, not wanting to let go of Micheal. And I was shocked that he was already fond of Micheal's touch.It reminded me of Almond's one-year birthday. Micheal came to see me and celebrate with my baby, but it was a low-key celebration and not like it was aired.Sighing, I turned off my car and got out. I moved over to the passenger seat at the front to get Almond out of the car and I took him indoors."How did the event go, Amalie?" Mom asked, as soon as I got into the living room."Good evening, Mom. It went well. Although it is more like a family reunion stuff in their house. So I didn't wait for the event to end," I told my mother, and she said,"That's fine. As long as you attended it," Mom replied from the couch where she sat watching the flat-screen television and the teleno

Natalie's POV.As I finished breastfeeding my son, I laid him on the bed and stood up to check outside the window of the room on the top floor.The sound of a car arriving caught my attention and I moved ahead to the balcony to peer on who had arrived.A black car drove into our residence and parked. Taking a closer look at the car, Susan came out first and I knew that Franklin's mother and sister had arrived.Susan donned a blue top and black trousers as she got out of the car, smiling from cheek to cheek.As I stood there at the balcony, I watched Susan walk back to the trunk of the black SUV and pull out two boxes."We're home!" She exclaimed as she shut the trunk of the car.Mrs. Kimberly got out of the car wearing a deep green dress and black shoes. She smiled, just as Franklin walked up to welcome her."Welcome, Mom," Franklin hugged his mother and his sister politely, and I saw my mother arrive from the grocery shopping that she had gone to do.Sighing, I moved away from the ba
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 140
Amelia's POV:"Why are you standing behind me? Since when did you get here?" I asked Micheal as I met his gaze, and he smiled."I came out immediately you left the hall. It wasn't necessary for you to have told Natalie where you saw the photos. I didn't bother to tell her since she is already married," Micheal said with a sad smile on his face, but I asked him, "You know that she is married, and yet, you stored a married woman's photograph in your album. Anyway, it's none of my business. I have to go home now with my son and say my goodbye to your parents."I told Micheal just as I walked up to meet him to take Almond away from his arms. But to my shock, Almond refused to come with me as he clutched tightly to Micheal's shirt, not agreeing to let go."He is our son, Amelia. Not your son alone," Micheal said, smiling after seeing that our son doesn't want to come with me."Fine. You can take him to your house and take care of him. I have to go home now. Let me tell your parents goodbye
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 139
Amelia's POV:Honestly, I had not expected to kiss Micheal. Or for him to kiss me. The way he looked at me made me blush, but recalling that he had my sister's photos for that long period of time made me jealous.I took my phone and dashed away from his bedroom, stepping out for some fresh air and coming downstairs to the ground floor for the party."What happened between you and my brother, Amelia? Your face appears so flushed," Gloria Austin asked me as I went to the couch to meet her.She had changed from her casual red dress and now she donned a blue dress that was designed with diamond embroidery at the top and the bottom of the dress. It was a sleeveless dress, but it perfectly accentuated her figure."Nothing," I told her as she sat there drinking, and she offered me a drink."Do you care for some? I know that you wouldn't want to go into detail about what went on doing with my brother, after I left you with him. But from the look of it, I can tell that you and Micheal are gett
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 138
Michael's POV:I arrived here earlier and met my mother in the living room. She informed me that Amelia was here with her grandson and said, "Maybe she went upstairs with Gloria.""Alright, Mom," I went upstairs to find my sister and Amelia, as I was not expecting to see Amelia in my father's house.But to my shock, she was in my room, instead of my sister's room, and she was going through my photo album.I had kept those photos for years, with the hope of showing them to Natalie, but Franklin snatched her and refused to divorce her. What hurt me more was Natalie's confirmation to me that she loves Franklin and cannot divorce him. I knew that I cannot have her, and it was all Amelia's fault.Now, she accused me and looked at me like I had wronged her."Michael, what are you trying to do?" Amelia asked, avoiding me as I marched up to meet her."You walked away from my mother, and not only that, you want to ruin her happy day of reconciliation with my Dad, just because of your personal
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 137
Amelia's POV"I want to send this pictures to Natalie. How can Michael have this photographs with him? I cannot recall meeting him then. Not to mention Franklin. It means he had been in love with Natalie for long," I lamented after snapping some of the pictures.It was part of the reason I disliked my sister then. She had a bigger bust than me. Her hips were very inviting, even me as a woman was jealous, so I derived joy in bullying her.She got that perfect body, despite her being short."There's no need to send these photos to Natalie. She is married now, and these were throwback photos. I only wanted you to see photos of my brother and not this," Gloria said, but I had already sent all the photos to Natalie and Franklin."I don't care. Your brother should better explain how he got this. Did he pay someone to spy on my sister and me? How can he have pictures of Natalie and me in bikinis, when we don't have them?" I asked her, although we had the videos recording from our 18th birthd
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 136
Amelia's POV:"Good morning, Dad, Mom," I greeted my parents in the living room as I came downstairs and saw them seated together on the couch.It was a Sunday, and Dad and Mom don't go to church often."Morning, Amelia," Dad replied, wearing a white garment, and my mother wore a white nightdress and sat beside him."Where are you off to?" Dad asked me, seeing me dressed up and carrying my son in my arms."I am going to the Austin's residential estate. But I would like to have my breakfast first before leaving the house," I told my father, and he smiled."That's good. Come, let us have breakfast together. Do you know their house address?" Dad asked me, rising up from the couch as he walked up to the dining table to meet me and Almond. As I set my son to sit next to me in the dining chair."Not really," I replied, and my father nodded and said, "I will give you their address."Mom came over to the dining table and joined us for breakfast. A maid walked out of the kitchen and served us
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 135
AMELIA'S POVI felt relieved after chatting with Natalie, and she advised me to give Michael a chance and not push him away now that he wanted us to get back together.Sighing, I went to plug my phone into its charger. However, it rang with an incoming call from Paul."Hey, Amelia. What's up? I wanted to know if you have gone home as I am about to leave the party now?" Paul asked, and I told him,"I am at home.""Alright. Take care of yourself. Will you be attending the Thanksgiving service tomorrow? Although they will go to church and do the rest of the party in their family house, and only family members can honor the event," Paul said, and I told him, "I will. How about you?""Well, I am not attending it, as I am still pissed off that Michael didn't tell me about you before my return. I feel bad, and I don't have to pretend with him like I am okay about it," Paul lamented, and I could feel his frustration."I'm sorry," I apologized to him, and he said, "It's okay, Amelia. None of i
