Natalie's POV.

"Frank, you need to tell me how much you gave my mother," I asked my husband as he carried me upstairs in his arms, climbing the flight of stairs.

"It's just 1 million dollars. I don't want her to bother you about the said chief again," Franklin said as we arrived at my bedroom door, and I helped him unlock it.

I pouted my pink lips, not happy, but I felt better knowing Franklin had paid my mother off. "Don't you think she will return to ask for more money?" I asked.

"No, I don't think so. Even if she does, I will still give her more money. I just want to make up for all those years I was hostile to you," Franklin said as he dropped me on the bed and climbed onto it. He towered above me, and I replied, "Okay."

"So when are we packing our boxes?" I asked, and he smiled. "After I am done with you." Franklin sealed his lips on mine and kissed me passionately. We proceeded to make love in my room.

Later that evening, I packed up my boxes as this would be the first time I wa

    Natalie's POV."How are you doing, Natalie?" Michael asked. I looked at him in his brown shirt and trousers and replied, "I am fine. I'm sorry I haven't called you since the last day we met.""It's alright. I understand that you're married to Franklin, and he's doing his best to prove himself worthy of you," Michael said, and I smiled.Franklin looked at us angrily from the front of the pharmacy in the hospital where he was collecting my supplements."How's your health now?" I asked Michael, and he sighed, "I am fine. Just came to do another test.""Test for what? Oops! I'm sorry if I'm trespassing," I told him, wondering what could be wrong with him."It's alright, Natalie. It's just a malaria test. I've been feeling sick from thinking too much and not taking care of myself. But I have employed someone to help, and I'm considering getting married soon," he said, and my eyes widened in shock, meeting his gaze too."Really? That's great news," I grinned, and Michael smiled back. "Thank

    Natalie's POV:I wore a blue hoodie and thick, long trousers as the weather was cold, to accompany Franklin. He wore a black top and blue jeans too, and he looked handsome as he wasn't in his usual suit and tie.Franklin and I got into a cab that he ordered online, and we arrived at the airport. A few hours later, we got on the plane and set off for our destination.My mind was filled with thoughts of how our honeymoon was going to be. It wasn't like Franklin and I had recently gotten married. We have been married for three years now, and it seemed like he had just awakened from a deep slumber.Well, my luck, as we sat together and jetted off to our destination.I was feeling quite nervous as I hadn't been on a plane before, but with Franklin beside me, he kept on giving me the assurance that we were safe.At one point, I almost got scared on the plane, as it wasn't a private jet. Franklin reassured me that it was fine and I should relax. Besides, he was there with me, and we were tog

    Natalie's POV.I awoke in the hotel room and sat up on the bed. It was already nighttime, and I wondered where Franklin might have gone, given that I was alone in this beautiful luxury room.I carefully sneaked out of bed and walked over to the window to gaze out at the city. The city was beautiful, and I smiled, feeling famished as I went to the bathroom to bathe.After my bath, I stepped out wrapped in a white towel and heard the door slide open."Who's there?" I rushed out, clad in a blue nightdress, to see who it was."It's me, babe," Franklin said with a smile, and I wondered where he might have gone."You left me alone in the room?" I asked him, noticing that he had changed out of the clothes he wore before our arrival."Yeah, I went to take a tour and set up my phone since it wasn't working. Just to call my father and let him know that we haven't run away," Franklin said as he hugged me by the waist and pulled me into a warm kiss."Okay, but I am famished. Can we order somethin

    **Natalie's POV**After Gloria left us, Franklin placed an order for our dinner, and we sat together enjoying the nightlife and the music that filled the air in the restaurant as Franklin fed me. I blushed and accepted.I knew he was trying to make up for the times he had been cruel to me. We finished our meal, and Franklin asked me, "Would you like to watch a movie?""No," I replied. "I am already tired. Let's return to our room to rest. Tomorrow, we can head out and look around the city."Franklin agreed and hugged me by the shoulder as we went back up to the top floor where our room was."Aren't you going to pay for the meals we had?" I asked as we stood together inside the elevator."I have paid. It's a VIP treatment, and I just had to show them my card. Anything you want, they will serve it to you until your tummy is full," he said. I gasped, "Oh! I never knew that. You should have told me!"I smiled at him, and Franklin asked, "Should we go back there?""No. Let's go back to our

    **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

    **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.

    **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,

    **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**One week later, after Amelia had welcomed her baby, Franklin's mother came to our home to see us.I was in the kitchen cooking since it was Saturday. I heard the sound of a car driving into the garage, and as I went out of the kitchen to see who it was, I was surprised to see Franklin's mother get out of the car, looking at me with irritation."Good morning, Ma," I greeted her, but she looked away without responding. I sighed and went back into the kitchen as I continued cooking.Later, I came out to the dining room to serve the meal since it was still morning."Franklin, how are you and your wife comfortable staying together when you don't have any children yet? Chris's wife has given birth to a bouncing baby boy, and yet you and Natalie don’t have any kids yet," his mother said."Mom," Franklin sighed, seated across from her in the exquisite living room."We will have kids, Mom. Stop pressuring us about it. We will have kids in God's own time," he replied to her."

    Natalie's POV:Franklin and I went up to the third floor where Amelia was admitted. As we arrived, we met Amelia's mother, who was happily looking at her new grandson, but as soon as she saw me, she shouted, "What are you doing here?!"Mrs. Agnes quickly petted the baby to stop crying as the baby in the bed woke up startled by her voice."Mom, I invited Natalie over. Can you just let her be?" Amelia asked her mother, who frowned."I don't want to see Natalie here. Do you want her to infect you with her bad luck?" Mrs. Agnes asked Amelia, who frowned."Mom, that's enough. Natalie is my sister, and it's not like you gave birth to another sister for me to have. Just let her be!"Mrs. Agnes looked pained, but she quickly brushed it off and replied, "Fine. Let me just see my grandchild and leave you two alone."I sighed as James, Asher, and Felix arrived in the room and they went to congratulate their sister."Congratulations, Amelia. So finally, I am an uncle," Asher said happily as he we

    Natalie's POV:"Frank, what Michael and I were discussing was only family matters. He was saying that he doesn't love Amelia enough to marry her.""But he wants you," Franklin replied, and I sighed and nodded."I already told him that we weren't going to divorce. He was asking if you will change in the long run of our marriage?" I asked Franklin as he drove the car home in silence.Franklin didn't reply to me, and I didn't bother to ask him again about whether he was going to change.As we arrived at his estate gate, Franklin slowed down his car for the security men to open the gate, then he asked me, "Do you think I am going to change?""I don't know," I replied. "Change is always constant, and anyone can change over time. Maybe if you get bored with me or if we are still unable to have children."Franklin's blue eyes darkened, and he replied, "I cannot change. I married you because I wanted to. Yes, I was childish then, but I've come to realize that a part of me is addicted to you.

    Natalie's POV.One week later, Franklin and I set out to attend Chris's wedding. The wedding venue was at a Catholic church, so we made preparations in our room.Frank donned a black tuxedo, and I wore a golden dress that perfectly accentuated my figure."Frank, did your brother invite my family?" I asked, to which Franklin replied, "I don't know. But I think so.""Alright."We finished dressing up and made our way downstairs to the living room. Lady Esther was still cleaning up the house, and we told her to give the key to Alex once she was through.Franklin and I got into one of his cars, as my car was parked in the garage.Franklin drove off to the wedding venue, and I was amazed at the large number of guests that were present. It was unlike my own wedding to Franklin.I watched as the wedding ceremony started. Some guests in black tuxedos who were familiar with Franklin greeted him as we watched the bride make her entry into the church hall.The pianist played the keyboard as she

    Natalie's POV"Why, Frank? Why don't you want me to go and see Michael? It's not like I want to do anything with him; I just want to speak with him about accepting Amelia," I said as I pouted my lips in his car."You cannot be the one to advise Michael. Just leave him alone to decide for himself," Franklin bluntly refused, and I looked at him and asked, "Don't you trust me?"Franklin looked at me just as he parked his car and said, "I do, but not with a man who has his eyes on you. I cannot stand that chance, Natalie. Try and understand me.""Fine." I pouted, and Franklin assured me, "Don't worry, I will see Michael, or whenever we run into him again, then I can permit you to discuss with him on the way, and not in the confines of his home or office.""Alright," I replied, and Franklin turned off his car engine, and we got out of his car.I followed him, and we went into the house together.As it was nightfall, I proceeded to the kitchen to prepare our dinner. After I was through, I m

    **Franklin's POV**I sat back on the couch in the living room just after my wife had left the house. I wasn't impressed with the way my mother often disrespected my wife, and I was wondering when all this would stop."So, Mom, what do you want me to do for Chris?" I asked her, as I had clearly rejected her invitation the previous week.Although I knew why she was calling me, it was about the company and about Chris having a fiancée who was pregnant with his child.I didn't know my brother's fiancée, although I knew he had posted that he was engaged, but I wasn't sure of who he was dating.This was my first time seeing her here, and to be honest, I didn't like the fact that the white dress she wore was revealing her baby bump."Franklin, I am sorry about what happened at the company the previous week. I tried negotiating with Dad, but he wouldn't comply. He feels I wouldn't manage the company well, even when I had done well in your absence the previous month," Chris said, and I looked

    Natalia Jackson:After Franklin and I finished touring the new shop, which was fitted with new glass at the front and freshly painted, we spoke about hiring someone to help me set up my shop.I was glad at the end of the day, and we thanked the staff before going to a restaurant for dinner.My mind was still preoccupied with thoughts about Amelia's pregnancy as Franklin and I sat across from each other at the restaurant table and chairs.Since I had grown too lazy to cook due to my unnecessary worrying, Franklin suggested we eat out, even though he doesn't usually like it."Babe, should we hire a chef?" Franklin asked me, trying to distract me from my thoughts."A chef?" I pondered it but shook my head."No. I don't need a chef. Don't worry, I will make lovely dinners for us tomorrow," I told him just as our meals arrived. We resumed eating, but just then, Gloria Austin came into the restaurant. Her face was stern as she walked in. Her expression changed as her eyes caught sight of me

So we're here to see her," I told the female nurse, and she responded, "Alright. You can go there now, but note that visiting time will soon be over.""Thank you," we replied.
