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

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

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’

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.

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!"

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 Jackson. "What do you want?" I asked James as I allowed him to enter my room. He smiled and moved away from the door as I stood beside it and looked at him. "How are you doing? Did you go to see Natalie at the police station?" He asked me. "No. Why should I?" I inquired, just as I wrapped my hands around my chest and looked at him. "Amelia, I know that you and Natalie have been having issues, but she's your sister and..." I cut James off, not caring that he's my oldest brother. "Don't give me that crap, James! Natalie isn't my sister. The daughter of a prostitute, no way! If she wasn't born or a part of this family in any way, I should have been Frank's wife. I hate that bitch, and don't you dare speak to me about Amelia." James slapped me on my left cheek, taking me by surprise as my left hand flew to my cheek, and I looked at him with tears-filled eyes. "Don't you dare call Natalie a bitch again, Amelia. What has gotten wrong with you? You told us yesterday tha

Natalie Jackson! I was preparing to sleep in the police cell unit that I was kept in after I finished eating the meal that Franklin had brought. His reaction surprised me because I hadn't expected him to be so possessive. I still wanted to divorce him, so I tried not to think too deeply about his public reaction. I believe Franklin was trying to protect his public image. As the CEO of HW Global, it’s important for him to back me up, knowing that once the matter gets to court, he would be dragged into the mess that he and Amelia had started. A policeman came to my cell unit and ordered me to come out. "You have been granted bail. You can go home," he said, taking me by surprise. "Excuse me, officer. Who granted me bail? I was informed that I would be going to jail this morning," I told him and saw the man's brows furrow. "Do you prefer to sleep in this cell, Madam? I just informed you that you're free to go, and you're asking me questions," he scolded me. I smiled as I walked out

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.
Billionaire's Broken Trust Chapter 96
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

**Natalie's POV**The following week, Franklin and I spent time together setting up my new shop, where I intend to start selling the following week.We got all the sewing machines needed to sew some of my customers' clothes, and now he seems to appreciate my work.We went to the new hospital during the week to check if either of us had any medical issues that could be the reason I hadn't conceived yet. But the doctor said that we both were fine, and I tried not to worry about having a child again.It had been my dream to own my own store, and here we are.As the new week arrived, I was eager to start my shop and welcome my first customer for the day.I got up from bed and prepared to leave for work. The second woman who worked for us had stopped, and only Lady Esther Jacob still arrived to clean the whole house.I went to take my bath while Franklin was still sleeping on the bed.We made love the previous night, and now I had to prepare for my new business."Frank, good morning," I sa
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 92
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
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 91
Natalie Jackson,Arriving at the hospital where my family and I were registered, Franklin parked his car in the hospital parking lot, and we got out.We made our way into the hospital. The nurses in white uniforms welcomed us; they were already familiar with us."Who are you here to see?" one of the nurses asked, while the other attended to other patients.It was already afternoon, around 1 p.m., when Franklin and I arrived, and I gave the nurse Amelia's ward number."She's my sister. 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. Franklin and I went to the second floor where Amelia was admitted.As we got there, Amelia's mother was in the room. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw us enter."What are you doing here, Natalie? Get out!" she barked, her left hand pointing at the door for me to leave."Good afternoon, Ma, we are here to see Amelia," Franklin
Billionaire's Broken Trust CHAPTER 90
Micheal's POV:I looked at my phone's screen after my phone call with Amelia ended. I wondered, "Should I go to the hospital today to see her? What if her family is there?"I pondered all these thoughts as I continued with the rest of my work for the day.I recalled Asher coming to challenge me at my house, and I knew he would be there in the hospital.Later, I rose from my chair and went to tour my hotel, as I had other shows to attend. I considered that after I closed from work, I would go and see Amelia and inform her not to abort my child.But what if she ended up aborting the pregnancy? I was restless, but I remembered the look of admiration I had seen in Amelia's eyes. Even when I told her that I did not want her and that we could not date, she didn't want to give up the hope that she could win me back. I sighed and went to the event shows, believing Amelia wouldn't terminate her pregnancy even after I had ordered her to, as she would want to use it to pin it on me. Not now that
