Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 82
**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

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

**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

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

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?

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

Natalie's POV,The following morning, I awoke in my room and recalled the events of the previous day. Franklin had gotten a new store for me to launch my clothing line, which has always been my dream.I got out of bed, wondering if he had already gone to his office, as I awoke alone.Unfortunately, as I walked downstairs, I remembered that I had asked the two women helping me to clean the house to only come on weekends. But then, I heard Franklin's voice as he was talking with someone in the living room.Who could that be? I pondered as I made my way downstairs.I was clad in a pink nightdress and wore brown slippers as I descended the stairs to the living room.Lo and behold, my eldest half-brother, James Jackson, was in the living room with Franklin.My brows furrowed as I saw James. I wasn't expecting to see him this early.It was just after 7 a.m. on a bright Tuesday morning, so what could James be doing here?I recalled that Franklin had a heated argument the previous day at his

Franklin's POV,I couldn't believe that James would come to my house and accuse me of getting Amelia pregnant.The sound of my phone ringing caught my attention as I went upstairs with Natalie to her room.Well, the room was originally mine, but since I stubbornly chose the other room, I call this Natalie's room.As I picked up my phone from the nightstand, Natalie went into the bathroom to bathe. I saw that my mother was the one calling me."Hello, Mom," I said as I answered her incoming call."Franklin, how are you this morning?" Mom asked as I went to the chair in the room and sat on it."I am fine, Mom. And you?""I am not fine, Franklin. What happened yesterday? You fought with your brother because of what?" Mom queried me, and I was a little relieved that she wasn't asking me about Amelia's pregnancy.I wasn't the one who impregnated her, but I was anxious, hoping that Amelia wouldn't claim that I am the one who got her pregnant."Mom, did Chris not inform you that he was arguin

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. Your father
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 122
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
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 119
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

Natalie's POV:Franklin arrived at the hospital in the evening, holding a food flask, and I welcomed him, "Welcome, honey."I was seated on the hospital bed, breastfeeding one of my twins while he dropped the lunch bag on the table near me."Good evening, babe. Mama," Franklin greeted my mother, and she smiled and told him, "Welcome, in-law." She moved away from her seat and stood up to offer Franklin her own chair.Franklin wore a white shirt and black trousers, and I wondered how he could keep up with work and cooking dinner for us."Thank you, Mama. You don't need to stand up," Franklin told my mother in a gentle voice, and my mother smiled."Alright, my in-law."Mom sat back down while Franklin came to the hospital bed to meet me."How are you doing?" He raised my chin upward to look at him, and he sealed his lips on mine."I am fine. And you? How was your day at the office?" I asked him, and he smiled and said, "Good. I made your favorite: yam and fried eggs.""Aww. You shouldn't
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 115
Amelia's POV:I drove my car home and still find it hard to believe that Natalie is now a mother, while I am still living with my parents.My son is a year old now, yet Michael isn't thinking of proposing to me or marrying me.We have a strained relationship, and he doesn't want to consider marriage. At first, my father spoke to him about it, but now no one is pressing us to marry.I sat in my car thinking about it. I haven't resumed working yet because I am still embarrassed about the situation I find myself in.I haven't gone back to H.W. Global to reapply as an accountant and to resume working with them. I didn't want to be in the same location as Franklin either, as the thought of how much he loves Natalie hurts.Sighing, I turned off my car and got out. It was nighttime, around 9 PM, when I got home. The hospital was far away from my father's house.I got out of my car and locked the door. Two of my brothers had gotten their own houses, so only Felix was still living with us. I w
