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

    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

    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 Jackson:I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Amelia shout that she had sex with Michael.Were they dating? I was stupefied as I looked from Amelia, who left us angrily, to Michael, who looked so ashamed of himself and embarrassed."It's not what you think. I honestly didn't want to do anything with her, but she just forced herself on me," Michael tried to clear the air as he knew that I would believe Amelia. After all, she was my sister, and she mostly bragged about everything she had and what she didn't have because of me."It's okay, Michael. You shouldn't blame her for saying that. Maybe she truly likes you," I said, and Michael's eyes narrowed in anger."I made the worst mistake by falling for her, and it was because I wanted to get your number," he confessed, and I was more speechless."I am sorry. I just didn't want you bothering me when I was with Franklin. He might misunderstand everything, and I didn't want him to lose his trust in me. Franklin even confessed to s

    Natalie's POV:After we finished our dinner in the kitchen, Franklin rose from his chair and said, "I am going upstairs to have my bath, babe. Please do not try to contact Michael again or see him behind my back." He looked at me, and I replied, "Okay."I was relieved that Franklin wasn't angry with me as I watched him exit the kitchen. He walked out, and I washed all the plates in the kitchen sink. After that, I dried my hands and went upstairs to my bedroom to have my bath. As I walked into my room, my phone rang, and I picked it up to see who the caller was.I hadn't unblocked my three brothers even though my father asked me to. I didn't want to speak to any of them, and I saw that Michael was the one calling me. I was nervous to answer his call, knowing that Franklin could come into my room at any time. It would be absurd of me to lock the door just to speak with Michael on the call. At last, I answered Michael's call, wanting to be quick about it."Hello," I said, and Michael ask

    Natalie's POV:"Mom, Franklin and I are on good terms now. Although, I'm unsure if I can ask him for money," I said to my mother, and she was silent."I do not want to hear all that, Natalie. You are my only child, and I want you to give me grandchildren," my mother said, and my brows furrowed.I couldn't believe she was pestering me to give her grandchildren when she wasn't even interested in getting married at my age. She was enjoying her life and even tried to abort me. Now, she wanted to force me through what she couldn't do."Mom, I am not God who gives children. And why didn't you get married? You could have given me more siblings other than Amelia and her brothers," I said, still nervous, wondering if Franklin hadn't finished his bath. Mom apologized to me, saying, "I am sorry, Natalie. I wish I was wise then. I had many men who proposed marriage to me even before your dad, but the thought of staying idle with one man and becoming his slave made me sick. I didn't want that. I w

    Franklin's POV. Seeing the excited look on my wife's face made me happy. I had never met her biological mother since we got married. I had heard a lot about her and certainly wanted to see the beautiful woman who had given birth to my wife. Feeling her soft lips pressed against my cheek as she pecked me in appreciation, I knew she was thrilled because I hadn't given her any personal money before, just money to restock the house with food. As Natalie and I finished having breakfast in my room, I took my phone and transferred 1 million dollars to her account. "Oh my goodness! Franklin, that's too much," she said when I showed her the transaction alert. I rose from my chair and walked over to meet her, softly pulling her blue dress away from her shoulder. "Nothing is too much for you, my love. I should have given you more than that," I told her. I kissed Natalie's neck warmly and carried her up in my arms. My bed wasn't far away, and despite Amelia sending me pictures and shor

    Amelia's POV.I exited the hotel building and saw Paul standing beside his car, waiting for me."Good evening, Paul," I greeted him with a smile as he stood by his car. He smiled and replied, "Well done, Amy. How was your day today?"Paul wore a crisp white shirt, black trousers, and shoes. He looked handsome and didn't seem to have changed in his looks or his smile, even after it had been long since I last saw him."My day was fine; and yours? You shouldn't have come here to pick me up," I told him, and he nodded with a smile, still standing beside his car in the hotel's parking lot and looking at me."You're right. But I couldn't help but desire to see your pretty face. Can we go now? I want us to visit somewhere special and reminisce about old times since we haven't seen each other in a while," he asked me in a gentle voice like a perfect gentleman.I blushed and replied, "Alright." I looked back at the hotel's magnificent building and got back into my car.I then drove off to anot

    Amelia's POV:I continued the rest of the day working at my counter and attending to the hotel’s new visitors.My job was to collect their payments while the staff assisted the guests in finding what they wanted and showing them to various sections of the hotel: the rooms, the restaurant, and the event center.The hotel was a luxury hotel, and I don't regret picking this job. It gives me a view of all the drama that unfolds and the top-notch guests that arrive.I saw when Michael came in; he cast a glance my way but immediately looked away."What's going on between you and the boss?" Ivory asked me, and I sighed, not wanting to tell her about my affair with Michael.While most of them were aware that Michael had a child out of wedlock, they knew he was still single because he only posted my son on his social media profile. In short, he used my baby as his display picture, and he didn't even have to ask me to send photos of Almond to him. He would save any picture he liked from my page

    AMELIA JACKSON:I awoke in my room and saw my son awake on the bed, playing with his toy.Meeting his gaze that looked like Michael's made me smile. Though Almond was fair-skinned like me, he was Michael's carbon copy.I smiled, getting off the bed as I remembered the kiss that Michael had given me. I set off to leave for work. Although I recalled Felix's refusal about me working in a hotel, I knew my three overprotective brothers would have dug out the name of the hotel I worked for. So I avoided leaving my bedroom the previous night and stayed in my room with my son, having dinner with him.Getting off the bed, I went to prepare my bath and to bathe my son as I was in a good mood. Sometimes I bathe him, and other times I allow Nancy to do it.As I prepared to bathe Almond first and help him strip off his clothes, Lady Nancy arrived with a smile, and I greeted her, "Good morning, Ma."She donned a white top and black skirt, and she replied with a smile, "Morning, Amelia.

    FRANKLIN POV:I got a call from Wesley regarding the man that Chris hired to attack me upon learning that I was in the hospital with Natalie. It raised my suspicions about what had gotten into Chris.I quickly swung into action and had the man arrested as soon as I left the hospital room where Natalie and her mother were, as the police came in time and whisked the man away.Being worried about my wife and twins' safety, I requested extra security personnel to privately safeguard them, as I hadn't hired bouncers before to look after me. Most families living around here were rich, so there was no point in my walking around with bodyguards. But right now, I couldn't take that risk.As I exited the hospital grounds and went to my car, I called Chris directly on the phone and cautioned him, "Chris, what games are you trying to play with me?"Chris was silent on the line and pretended not to know."What are you talking about, brother?" he asked jokingly, and I told him, "You will find out s

    AMELIA JACKSON:"You sent for me, sir?" I asked Micheal, emphasizing "sir" so that he would understand why he summoned me."Yes. I did. What relationship did you have with my cousin?" He bluntly asked me, and I looked taken aback."Your cousin? Well, he is my ex, so that makes us familiar," I replied. Micheal rose from his office chair as he walked out to meet me.His office was extremely spacious and painted in white, similar to Franklin's office. I think they had the same taste, as Micheal's home seemed similar to Franklin's too."Familiar enough that you would have to kiss him? Is that how horny you are, Amelia?" Micheal reached for me and grasped my arms, but I shrugged him off."What's wrong with you? You shouldn't be concerned about whether I'm into his cousin or not. You don't want me, so stay away from my affairs." I wanted to leave, but Micheal caught me and pulled me closer to him. Before I could react and push him off, he sealed his lips on mine and kissed me hungrily."Mmm

    MICHEAL AUSTIN:"You sent for me, sir?" my assistant asked; he was a 30-year-old man."Yes, I did. Who is in charge of employment, and why is Amelia here?" I glared at him, and he looked at me in shock and asked, "Amelia? I don't know who she is, sir.""Really? Who employed the staff today?" I asked him, and he said, "The human resources management, sir.""Get the staff here. Anyway, it's okay. You can leave," I dismissed him, knowing that my hotel has a way of employing highly trained staff to avoid any misconduct and theft.He looked at me and bowed. "Alright, sir."Once my assistant left my office, I picked up my phone and contacted Amelia's number directly. We had to finish this conversation, and I needed to know why she was here.I was angry, especially after seeing Paul kiss her."Hello," Amelia picked up my call, and I had almost thought that she wouldn't."Hello, Mike," she said, sounding nervous, and I told her, "Come to my office right away.""Your office? Where is it?" Amel

    MICHEAL AUSTIN:I was on a phone call with Paul when I came out of the hotel to welcome him. Paul was a top attorney abroad, and he came back for my parents' reunion. Well, we were cousins, and I hadn't expected that he knew Amelia. When I came out to welcome him upon his arrival, I was taken aback to see how Paul swiftly caught Amelia by her right arm and pulled her back to his masculine chest. Before I could react and move to separate them, Paul sealed his lips on Amelia's and kissed her hungrily.My anger boiled upon seeing the way he kissed Amelia. As far as I wasn't in love with Amelia, I had studied the type of person she was. I thought she was the type of lady who threw herself at men because she had forced me to sleep with her. I found out that she hadn't been in any relationship since she returned from school abroad. I tried to mask my anger upon seeing my cousin and Amelia kiss. However, I couldn't even mask it, even as Paul greeted me.I was furious to see that Amelia

    AMELIA JACKSON:"Natalie is my daughter, and you don't expect me not to bring her up. I have ignored how you treated her over the years. For goodness' sake, you take care of other people's children who aren't even related to us. Why can't you overlook Natalie and do the same for her? I promised never to cheat on you and maintained that. Yet, we went as far as to lay a curse on Natalie, whereas you are helping other outsiders by doing your charity and philanthropic work!" Dad sounded so angry, and Mom snapped, "I will never see Natalie as my child, and since you want a divorce, fine. I will sign the papers and leave. But this won't be the end of it.""Mom!" James rose to stop her from leaving the dining table."Mom, we all know you're angry, but a mistake like Natalie cannot be corrected. She is our sister, and you should forgive Dad and let go before you ruin all your years of hard work over annoyance. Fighting doesn't solve a problem; it damages it," James said to Mom, and she tried

    AMELIA JACKSON:The next morning, I set out to leave for work, leaving my son, Almond, in the care of his nanny. I haven't considered registering him in a baby school yet because he is only a year old, and I thought it was best to discuss this with Michael first before enrolling Almond in any nearby baby school.As I was set to leave for my first day at work, I had applied the previous week at Michael's hotel to work there as their cashier. Well, I hadn't told him; I just wanted to be in the same workplace as him.It was a five-star hotel, and I was curious about what kind of job they had for me since they had already sent me a text message the previous evening.I donned a white top, a black straight skirt, and black shoes, adjusting my hair in front of the mirror. I moved back to meet my son in his baby walker and gave him his toys to play with.Lady Nancy arrived as she went to discard his diaper after helping him have his bath and changing him out of his old clothes."I am going to
