Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 51
Natalie Jackson;I hadn't expected Franklin to send Gloria away. I was annoyed with him and disliked the fact that his family was just like mine. His mother reminded me so much of Amelia's mother.Even though Gloria knew it, trusting anyone at this moment was risky.I would have considered going out, but I had no work, no profession at the moment, and just a little savings. Even my mother was greedy, always asking me for money, so I couldn't rely on her for a place to stay.I knew the only option I had left was to forgive Franklin and stay with him. My biggest mistake was not having a job of my own. But Franklin did surprise me.I still loved him, but I disliked his family. I watched him enter back into the living room, my box of clothes in his hands. He looked at me with a warm gaze, unlike before when Franklin used to stare at me as if I were his enemy."I’m coming, babe. I’ve told Ajex not to let anyone in here again. Let me know if they try to disturb you," Franklin said as he wen
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 52
Franklin's POV:After I left Natalie in the kitchen, I went upstairs to my study to make arrangements for our honeymoon vacation. However, the sound of my phone ringing on the desk caught my attention.I went to pick it up, and upon seeing that my father was calling me, I frowned but eventually answered the call."Hello, Dad," I said, knowing he would ask me about my mother. I still couldn't believe she had brought Gloria to my home."Franklin, what happened between you and your mother? She came home looking hurt and claimed that you asked your estate security men to throw her outside and did not even welcome her," my father said, and I stood frozen in disbelief."Dad, is that what Mom told you? I understand she doesn't like my wife, but Natalie and I are married. I am sick and tired of Mom fighting with my wife for no considerable reason. You both forced me into this marriage, and I have accepted it. Also, I did not throw Mom out. She brought Gloria here to my house as a new wife, an
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 53
Michael Austin:I arrived at 2 p.m. hoping to see Natalie. I had been waiting for her to call me, but there was no sign of contact.I called Franklin, and he shut me out, saying I was no longer his friend and not welcome in his home."Oh! How do I get to see Natalie? I really wish I had confessed my feelings for her when she was having marital crises with Franklin, but now they seem to be getting along. I have known Franklin all my life and knew when he was joking and serious. Damn it!" I cursed as I stood by the roadside outside the estate gate.Other cars were going into the estate, but the security men refused to allow me entry, saying Franklin didn't want to see me.As I contemplated going back home, knowing I had little chance of seeing Natalie, the sun beat down on me in my crisp blue shirt, black jeans, and black canvas shoes.I saw a red car approaching, which was Asher's car. I remembered seeing him last at the HW global conference.He slowed down his car, smirked, and called
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 54
Micheal's POV:After my sister ran upstairs, my father looked at me and asked, "Since when was Franklin married?""I just called Mr. Howard, and he never mentioned anything about Franklin being married. Are you sure, Micheal, or do you just not want your sister to be happy?" My father looked at me with narrowed eyes, and I laughed, almost drunkenly."Why not? I want Gloria to be happy, and she knows Franklin is married. Well, she just discovered it now, and it's too late for her," I replied, still drinking from the vodka I took from the bar."Hmm, but I don't understand why Franklin's marriage is kept away from the public. Or did you attend it?" My dad asked, and I nodded."Fine. I'll see Gloria later and discuss this with her," Dad said, looking away at the TV console. I finished my drink and went back to my room on the top floor. Although this wasn't my house, I just came home for other reasons.As I arrived on the second floor, I marched up to Gloria's room to see her. I could hear
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 55
Amelia's POV:Earlier, when I received a phone call from an unknown number, I thought it might be Franklin. I was bored at home with my three brothers monitoring me like television, and I was sex-starved. I wanted to be touched by a man.Yeah, I know Natalie has been accused of being a hoe, but I am sure I'm worse than her. My irritation stemmed from her snatching my dream man, and I wanted revenge, even if it meant setting her up. However, she declined every man I sent to ask her out on a date, even before I returned to this city.Natalie has been faithful to Franklin, and that made breaking their marriage difficult. Franklin now sees me as a villain after discovering that I was the mastermind behind him being drugged the last time.He believes I was the one who drugged him in the past too. Well, I'm not too bothered about that; I just don't want Natalie to be the woman beside Franklin.For now, their wedding hasn't gone public, and many folks, even in their club, don't know that Fra

Micheal Austin:The sound of my phone beeping got my attention. Damn it. I couldn't believe that I had slept with Amelia Jackson. She was such a horny bitch, and now I felt so ashamed that I had done it with her.I grabbed my phone and saw that she had already sent Natalie's number. Now I didn't know how to face Natalie or whether to contact her.It was late, so I assumed Natalie would be asleep. Later, I would call her and try to talk to her. I knew Natalie had already told me that she didn't want to divorce Franklin, but I wanted her, not Amelia.I stood up and went into the bathroom to freshen up, feeling sour and dirty from sleeping with Amelia.I didn't care to call Amelia to find out if she had gotten home. Once I was done bathing, I got out, put on my night robe, and went to bed to sleep. However, seeing the rumpled sheets, I pulled them off and replaced them with a new bed cover. As I lay on the bed, the memory of my encounter with Amelia flashed in my mind. I groaned and trie
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 57
Natalie Jackson:Waking up to a bright Monday morning and the fact that my husband has changed from avoiding me to loving me has been cool.I carefully sat up on the bed to the delicious smell of fried eggs and bread."Franklin..." My eyes widened in shock as my husband came in, dressed in a white robe and holding a tray containing tea, bread, and fried eggs.He smiled as he approached me, who lazily sat up on the bed."Good morning, sweetheart. How was your night? I didn't want to wake you up," Franklin grinned as he set the white tray on a stool beside the bed. He sat down beside me and kissed my forehead."How are you this morning?" Franklin asked, and I smiled and replied, "Cool. Aren't you going to work this morning? It's almost 10 a.m."My eyes flew to the wall clock in my room. Franklin smiled and replied, "No, babe. I told you I want us to go on vacation."He watched me get up from the bed, and I told him, "I am coming."I went to use the bathroom. I got out and joined Frankli
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 58
Franklin Howard:I was nervous when I saw my wife acting anxiously. Gaining her trust back was one of the happiest moments of my life. I knew I had been cruel to her, but with the type of women in this city, getting someone like Natalie was rare. I had judged her wrongly, and I did not want to lose her again."Don't worry, we will have a baby soon. Come, let's go upstairs and freshen up. I will give you a bath," I said to her, my gaze locked with hers as I rose from the couch first and carried Natalie up in my arms as if she were a baby."Franklin, put me down," she said in her sweet, delicate voice as I held her firmly in my masculine arms, grinning at her nervousness."Why? Aren't you my wife?" I asked her with a smile as I climbed the flight of stairs to her room."I am," she pouted her pink lips as I ascended the stairs.Natalie was shy, and I couldn't believe that she was still acting shy even after we had been intimate several times since we reconciled last week.I couldn't beli

**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
