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
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 59
Natalie Jackson:I was in the closet, checking out what to wear since Franklin had said that we were going shopping for the things we would need for our honeymoon. I wanted to tell him to leave it, as we hadn't recently gotten married, but Franklin was happy and excited to travel with me, and I didn't want to kill his joy.The sound of my phone ringing in my room caught my attention. I swiftly went to check who was calling me, knowing that I had blocked most of my family members. Although my dad had told me to unblock them, I was still hesitant to do so.As I neared my phone, which was plugged in to charge, I furrowed my brows upon seeing that it was an unknown number. Maybe Gloria had decided to call me from another number, or was it Amelia or her three brothers? I scowled, wanting to end the call before my mind urged me to answer it."Hello, who's this?" I inquired, and my heart skipped a beat as I heard Michael's voice."Good morning, Natalie. How are you doing?" he asked. My brows
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 60
Natalie Jackson:I silently glanced at the road as Franklin drove the car out of his estate and headed for the shopping complex.A few drives later, he pulled to a stop and announced, "We're here.""Okay," I said, snapping out of my trance as I harbored thoughts about Michael in my mind. This shouldn't be my concern, but I couldn't help but feel bad for Michael, wishing he had a woman in his life and didn't spend his time chasing after a married woman.I am still amazed that Michael likes me. It was surprising to me because I knew many people loathed me because of my mother's history.I sighed, stepping out of the car as Franklin helped me pull the car door open, and we walked into the shopping plaza together."Must we shop for what we will be wearing here?" I asked him, whispering into his ear as he held me closer, like a celebrity couple."Yeah. We have to shop for our honeymoon clothes here, so we will travel with them instead of ordering from abroad," he said, his hot breath fanni
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 61
Natalie Jackson:I didn't try begging Franklin again to take me to Michael's house, and the silence in the car was excruciating.Franklin sighed and said, "I do not want you bringing up Michael again, and you should bar him from contacting you, okay?"I remained silent and didn't reply."Natalie," Franklin called my name, and I responded, "Okay." I sighed and kept my gaze on the road as Franklin drove us back home.I opened the ice cream package but didn't bother to lick it as the road was bumpy.Soon, we arrived at Franklin's estate, and I watched as the estate security men pulled the gate open. Franklin sped up and soon arrived home.As he parked his car in the driveway, I got out and sprinted into the house, holding the package of ice cream with me."Natalie," Franklin called me back, but I lied, "I want to go and use the restroom.""Fine."I looked away and unlocked the door. I dashed into the house to keep the ice cream and relieve myself.A few minutes later, Franklin came to my
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 62
Natalie's POV After my dinner with my husband ended, I cleared the plate to the kitchen, lost in my ocean of thoughts about how I would see Michael. I just wanted to see him even once before I traveled with Franklin. I turned off the light, stepped out of the kitchen, and went upstairs to my room. As I stepped into the sitting room upstairs, I saw Franklin waiting for me on the couch. "What's wrong, honey? Aren't you going to bed?" I asked him, walking over to meet him. I wondered what was on his mind. "I was waiting for you to finish your work in the kitchen since you don’t like me assisting you there. Wesley already hired two women to help you, but I told him to tell them to wait until we return from our honeymoon," Franklin said, pulling me closer to himself on the couch. I settled on his thighs and he kissed my neck. "That's fine. Can we go to bed now?" I asked him, trying to mask my worry as I avoided looking at his face. "What's wrong, Natalie?" Franklin asked, tilted my he

Amelia Jackson:I was so annoyed that Michael sent me away. I couldn't focus at work; my mind kept thinking about how to win him over. I had researched and thought about it, but it was clear that he was interested in that daughter of a prostitute."Ugh!" I grimaced in my car as my phone rang; I knew Asher was the caller. I didn't bother to pick it up. How do I win Michael? He was so hot in bed, and I couldn't get enough of him, but he clearly did not have any feelings for me.How can a man be so great in bed and say that he has no feelings? I knew it was because of Natalie, and I wished she had never been born.I thought about the fact that I had even given Natalie's contact information to Michael. Now he would be pestering her. She was already married, and we weren't getting any closer. I considered warning her to stay away from Michael; maybe that way, Michael would be left with me.I truly regretted giving Natalie's number to Michael. The thought that he only agreed to sleep with m

Michael Austin;I was so excited when Steven called me and informed me that Natalie was here to see me.She came for real! I giggled and went back upstairs to my room to change clothes. I didn't want to scare her as I was in a bathrobe. So I wore a white top and black trousers with my black leather slippers. I got out of my room and rushed downstairs to welcome Natalie."Hello, welcome to my home," I said, smiling at her as I pulled the door open for her."Thank you, Michael," Natalie looked nervous and hesitant to enter my house."May I come in?" she asked, and I responded, "Sure."She smiled and entered the room."So, tell me. How are you feeling now? I don't want to waste much time here as I would like to head to the market," she said, and I recalled that I also wanted to go to the nearby store and shop for groceries.My kitchen was empty, and because I had been thinking about her, I didn't make time to cook."That's fine. I can escort you to the market. I wanted to go shopping too

**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

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

**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,

**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

**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
