Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 8
**Natalie Jackson**I stood aside, looking from my husband to my sister as Frank asked her if she was alright.“No, Frank! Allow me to go home. Natalie must rot in jail today!” Amelia sobbed, and Frank tried to convince her not to leave our house, but she refused."I’m a model, Frank! Look at what your stupid wife did to me!" Amelia turned her hands for Frank to see the bruises the cane had caused.“She dared to flog me just because I came here to visit you guys.”“Did I invite you? Leave here, you bitch, and go back to our father's house! Aren't you ashamed of yourself for lusting after your sister’s husband? Are we on good terms that you would claim you came here to visit us? Do I need your pathetic apologies?” I barked at Amelia, and her eyes narrowed at me.“You won’t get away with this, Natalie! Get ready to rot in jail!” she cried as she got into her car, shutting the door behind her and leaving.I was satisfied that I had disciplined her as I wondered what she came to my house t
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 9
Natalie Jackson.As I walked downstairs and into the living room, Frank was trying to calm Amelia down. He stood beside her, speaking to her. "Calm down, Amy; we can discuss this amicably. It hasn't gotten to the point of you involving the police in this. Didn't you think about my reputation and yours, as no one knows Natalie?"Yes, I wasn't a public figure, but my husband and half-sister were celebrities with millions of followers on their pages."No way, Frank! Don't tell me to calm down. Your wife attacked me, and she has to be punished. Your ex-wife, I mean," Amelia said. My eyes narrowed at her words as I finally descended the stairs and looked at the officers in black uniforms standing in my living room."Good morning, police officers," I greeted the two policemen, who looked at me in disbelief.I was short, but I had an hourglass figure."Good morning, Madam. Are you Natalie Jackson?" one of the policemen asked. I noticed the way his eyes traveled from my head to my toes before
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 10
Franklin Howard;I wasn't happy that Amelia would call the police on Natalie. For heaven's sake, Natalie was still my wife, and having her in police custody would drag my name into the public eye. Amelia was a public figure here, and many fans now wanted to know who had harassed her.Amelia had gone to call her father, Mr. Liam Jackson. Additionally, he wasted no time ordering for Natalie to be locked up. His wife supported this and pressed more charges against Natalie, claiming she was evil and always against Amelia. They insisted that this was not the first time she had attacked Amelia, so the officers should ensure they taught her a lesson she wouldn't forget.I couldn't believe that Natalie's father would support Amelia over his own daughter. He didn't even call Natalie or request to speak with her. He just jumped to the conclusion that Natalie was evil and had always hated Amelia, wanting to get rid of her.I was enraged as I drove back home—angry at everything that had happened i
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 11
Franklin Howard;Stepping into the living room, I heard Mrs. Agnes Jackson shouting at her husband while seated on the couch, hugging Amelia to her chest.Amelia was crying like a baby, and her mother was rubbing her head and comforting her."Natalie is an adult. How dare that daughter of a prostitute flog my daughter like this! I will kill her myself, Liam, if you dare grant that bitch bail. Look at our daughter! Natalie has always been jealous of Amelia because Amelia is prettier than her. She snatched Amelia's boyfriend, knowing that Amelia and Franklin were dating. She stole him and drugged him, just like the prostitute her mother was. And you're telling me that you want to release her?" Mrs. Agnes growled. I gulped."Amelia was at fault for going to see them," Mr. Liam interjected."When has visiting your half-sister and her brother-in-law become a crime?!" I heard Mrs. Jackson's voice booming in the living room as she shouted at her husband, who stood silently again, lost in his
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 12
Frank Howard:I put my phone back into my trouser pocket and looked at Mr. Liam Jackson as he asked me, "Who do you suspect as the person who drugged you, Franklin? You have been married to Natalie for three years. I understand that you and Natalie have marital issues, but that’s not why she would stoop so low as to drug you. Or do you not have sex while living together as a couple?"I was silent as I listened to Mr. Liam’s questions. Indeed, ever since I got married to Natalie, we hadn’t had sex, and there were rumors in our family circles. They believed that either I or Natalie was infertile, which is why we didn’t have any children yet.I gulped and looked away, not wanting to meet Mr. Liam's gaze. I didn’t know if he liked Natalie, but I was sure his wife hated my wife with a passion."Franklin, you haven’t said anything yet. I am trying to understand who drugged you. When you went out with Amelia yesterday, did you both drink?" Mr. Liam asked again."Well, yes, sir. We did. I don’
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 13
Franklin Howard:I immediately answered the call. "Hello, Amelia.""Hi, Frank. Please, I am so sorry about how my mother reacted when she saw you," Amelia said, sounding sober."It's okay. You don't have to apologize to me. I apologize for what Natalie did to you," I replied."It's alright, Frank. Can we hang out? I want to see you," Amelia asked, and I replied, "No. I don't think we can hang out for now. Your father warned me to stay away from you and your brothers.""Why? But I'm not a kid, and I can decide who I want to hang out with," Amelia said, and I sighed. Looking at the front of the restaurant, I told her, "I will call you back later. I want to check on someone right now. And please, you should try to forgive Natalie and get her out of the police station.""No, Frank!" Amelia shouted. "I'm not going to release Natalie for now. She has to go to jail. Is it because you weren't the one she hurt? Didn't you see how she bruised my skin? All you care about is for me to release her.
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 14
Franklin Howard;My anger boiled as I looked at the three police officers who were indirectly accusing me of trying to poison my wife. I couldn't blame them, so I picked up the spoon and ate the meal, ensuring to take bites from the top, center, and bottom to show them that the food wasn’t poisoned.I knew that Natalie had no one, and it was only right that I cared for her. Although, I didn’t even know if the police had already gotten her something to eat."That's fine. Pack it up," the first officer said, and I shut the meal cover and packed it away.I’m a billionaire CEO, but I hadn’t dressed elegantly for these officers to know that. I had to obey them, or they wouldn’t let me see Natalie."Come with me," the officer instructed as he stepped out from behind his counter. He led me to the cell where Natalie was locked up with two other women, and she was sleeping on the floor.My fist clenched as I saw my wife sleeping on the hard floor."Officer, open this door and get my wife out!"
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 15
Amelia Jackson;I wasn't happy with my father's request for me to let the matter lie low to avoid dragging our family name into the mud.For Christ's sake, I was the one who was supposed to marry Frank, not that ugly, short dwarf.Well, my sister isn't a dwarf. She's just short and about my shoulder height, but she's beautiful. She's a stunning brown-skinned woman, and I hadn't seen anyone as pretty as her, even in her loose-fitting clothes.Natalie has dimples on her chubby cheeks. She has long hair and brown sparkling eyes. She's just charming, and I was irritated that night when I saw Frank looking at her.I thought of it as an opportunity to set Natalie up with any available man at my father's event, but I didn’t expect the man to be Frank. There were many guests present, and at the table where Natalie sat alone in her red dress, drinking from her glass, I had the entire bottle of drink spiked with a sex pill, hoping to catch her and her companion in the act.However, the moment I

Amelia's POV,"Who got you pregnant, Amelia?!" My mother shouted, but I kept quiet and looked away from them as I knew that telling them it was Michael was no use."Amelia?!" My mother shouted again, but Asher told her, "It's okay, Mom. I believe Amelia will tell us who is responsible. Let her get well first."I was surprised as Asher interfered, but I didn't want to look at them because I felt so ashamed of myself."Your father will hear about this, and just get ready to list the names of the men that you have slept with, as you wouldn’t give birth to a bastard!" Mom left the room, and I was quiet.Felix sighed, and James spoke, "Why would you get pregnant, Amelia? Who is responsible? Franklin or Michael?"I was silent, not saying anything."You better not let it be Franklin." James walked out of the room, leaving only me, Felix, and Asher in there.Felix sighed and replied, "Get well soon, sis. I have to head home; I have some unfinished assignments. But I will come here to see you

Michael's POV,I hadn't expected to step out of the company and see Amelia waiting for me beside my car.How did she know my car? I was practically unaware, so I marched up to meet her to find out why she wanted to see me earlier."Michael," Amelia began, standing there looking at me nervously."Get straight to the point. I don't have time to waste here."Asher stepped out of the company and added to my embarrassment by shouting, "Michael!! If you want to marry my sister, you should come and ask for her hand in marriage properly!"I clenched my fist and looked at Amelia's face as she blushed. I couldn't believe she wanted to marry me when she knew that I didn't love her.I wanted her sister, not her. Why couldn't she understand that I needed time to get over her sister?"Michael," Amelia said, blushing as she met my gaze with her big blue eyes."I think I’m pregnant." She dropped the bombshell, and I felt all the blood in my face vanish in an instant."You're what? Come again?!" I ask
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 85
Franklin's POV,Today has been hectic, with Dad strongly refusing to hand over the company to Chris. Even though I had resigned as the CEO of H.W. Global, Dad refused to let Chris take over.He stated that the CEO position would remain vacant until he found someone competent to fill the role.So right now, neither Dad nor Chris is the CEO.Chris shouted at our father, and I wouldn't tolerate such disrespect in front of all our partners. Mom spoiled him a lot, so I stood up, went to meet Chris, and smacked him, which resulted in a fight I was well-prepared for, knowing my brother lacks respect.That was why our father didn’t want him as the new CEO.Chris angrily left the meeting room, and I informed everyone that I was only resigning temporarily due to personal reasons and would take over the company later.I forbade my brother from entering this company because of his disrespect and ended the meeting. Some of the other partners wanted to speak with me to reconsider and assign Chris t

**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
