Natalie Jackson.

As I walked downstairs and into the living room, Frank was trying to calm Amelia down as he was standing beside her and 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 page.

"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, and my eyes narrowed at her words as I finally descended the stairs and looked at the officers in black uniform standing in my living room.

"Good morning, Police officers," I greeted the two police officers who were looking at me in disbelief.

I was short, but I had an hourglass shape.

"Good morning, ma'am. Are you Natalie Jackson?" One of the two police officers asked me, as I saw the way his eyes looke

    Franklin Howard:I wasn't happy that Amelia would call the police on Natalie. For heaven's sake, Natalie was still my wife, and her being in police custody would drag my name into public knowledge, as Amelia was a public figure here, and many fans now wanted to know who harassed her.Amelia had gone to call her father, Mr. Liam Jackson, who wasted no time and ordered for Natalie to be locked up. His wife supported and pressed more charges against Natalie, as they said she was evil and always against Amelia. They said that was how she used to attack Amelia before, and the officers should ensure to teach her a great lesson that she wouldn't forget.I couldn't believe that Natalie's father would support Amelia over Natalie. He didn't even call Natalie on the phone or request to speak with her. He just jumped to the conclusion that Natalie was evil, and she had always hated Amelia and wanted to get rid of her.I was enraged as I drove back home. Enraged at everything that had happened in a

    Franklin Howard:Stepping into the living room, I heard Mrs. Agnes Jackson shouting at her husband as she was seated on the couch and hugging Amelia to her chest.Amelia was crying like a baby, while her mother was rubbing her head and petting her."Natalie is an adult. How dare that daughter of a prostitute flog my daughter like this! I will kill her by myself, Liam, if you dare to grant that bitch bail. Look at our daughter! Natalie has always been jealous of Amelia because Amelia is more pretty 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!""Amelia was at fault for going to see them," Mr. Liam said to which his wife scoffed. "When has going to visit your half-sister and her brother-in-law become a crime?!"Mrs. Jackson's voice was so loud in the living room as she was shouting at her husband, who stood there silently an

    Frank Howard;I kept my phone back into my trouser pocket and looked at Mr. Liam Jackson as he asked me, "Who did you suspect as the person who had drugged you, Franklin? You have been married to Natalie for three years. I understand that you and Natalie both have marital issues, but that's not why she would stoop so low as to drug you. Do you both not have sex while living together as a couple?"I was silent as I heard Mr. Liam's question. Indeed, ever since I got married to Natalie, we haven't had sex, and there were rumors in our family that knew us as a couple. They believe either me or Natalie were infertile, the reason we have no child yet.I gulped and looked away, not wanting to meet Mr. Liam's gaze on me. I don't know if he likes Natalie, but I was sure that his wife hated my wife with passion."Franklin, you haven't said anything yet. I am trying to understand who has drugged you? When you went out with Amelia yesterday, did you both drink?" Mr. Liam asked me again."Well, ye

    Franklin Howard:I immediately answered the call, "Hello, Amelia.""Hi, Frank. Please, I am so sorry about how my mother had 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 said."It's alright, Frank. Can we hang out, like get to see each other again?" Amelia was asking me, and I replied, "No. I don't think we can hang out for now. Your father warned me to stay away from you and also 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 out. Looking at the front of the Restaurant, I told Amelia, "I will call you back later. I want to check on someone for now. And please, you should try to forgive Natalie to 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 aren't the one that she flogged? Didn't you see how she bruised my skin, and

    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

    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

    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

    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
