Chapter 122

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-16 18:02:49

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: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.

    Amelia's POV:I continued the rest of the day working at my counter and attending to the hotel’s new visitors.My job was to collect their payments while the staff assisted the guests in finding what they wanted and showing them to various sections of the hotel: the rooms, the restaurant, and the event center.The hotel was a luxury hotel, and I don't regret picking this job. It gives me a view of all the drama that unfolds and the top-notch guests that arrive.I saw when Michael came in; he cast a glance my way but immediately looked away."What's going on between you and the boss?" Ivory asked me, and I sighed, not wanting to tell her about my affair with Michael.While most of them were aware that Michael had a child out of wedlock, they knew he was still single because he only posted my son on his social media profile. In short, he used my baby as his display picture, and he didn't even have to ask me to send photos of Almond to him. He would save any picture he liked from my page

    Amelia's POV.I exited the hotel building and saw Paul standing beside his car, waiting for me."Good evening, Paul," I greeted him with a smile as he stood by his car. He smiled and replied, "Well done, Amy. How was your day today?"Paul wore a crisp white shirt, black trousers, and shoes. He looked handsome and didn't seem to have changed in his looks or his smile, even after it had been long since I last saw him."My day was fine; and yours? You shouldn't have come here to pick me up," I told him, and he nodded with a smile, still standing beside his car in the hotel's parking lot and looking at me."You're right. But I couldn't help but desire to see your pretty face. Can we go now? I want us to visit somewhere special and reminisce about old times since we haven't seen each other in a while," he asked me in a gentle voice like a perfect gentleman.I blushed and replied, "Alright." I looked back at the hotel's magnificent building and got back into my car.I then drove off to anot

    Natalie's POV,I watched my husband laughing so hard with my elder sister. What pains me more is seeing the way he got along with her. Franklin Howard has never laughed like this with me before, and here he was, laughing loudly with my elder sister in the living room.Amelia Jackson is my elder sister. We have the same father but different mothers. My mother was once a mistress to my father, and because I was the unwanted child, my family didn't like me.I have three older brothers, James, Asher, and Felix, all doting on Amelia.Amelia and I were the same age, but she was only a month older than me, making her my elder sister.We were both fair in complexion, but while she was tall, I was short and chubby.Frank is a billionaire in this part of the city where we live, and he never liked me, his wife.It was a mistake that led to Frank and my marriage—a mistake that I shouldn't have accepted.Taking you back three years ago, my father and Frank's father were best friends, and while my

    Natalie's POV,"Ah!" Amelia cried out like the doll she was, and Frank rushed to meet us."What did you do to her?" he growled at me as he gently helped Amelia up on her feet.I hadn't even pushed her with force; I only wanted to drag her out. And because she saw Frank rushing downstairs to meet us, she faked it like she was hurt."Frank, your wife—I mean, Natalie—bite me just now and pushed me away," Amelia held her arm and sobbed as she got up from the floor.Frank looked at me angrily and spat, "I can't believe you would do this to your only sister. You aren't even the legitimate daughter of Mr. Liam, and yet you can't treat your sister right. Come on, Amy, let's go out to eat and let her eat her food alone."Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched them. It was Saturday evening, and Frank definitely didn't go to work on Saturdays and Sundays.I sobbed, wanting to stop them, and I rushed outside just in time to see Frank getting into his car after he had helped Amelia close the door

    Franklin's POV,"You're right. We would have gotten married, but it's not too late to divorce your sister now. She isn't up to my standards, and I do not like her," I said as the waiter brought our dinner, and Amelia smiled sweetly."How about me? I have always admired you. Honestly, that night, I felt sad seeing that Natalie drugged you and used you as her pawn to escape from our parents' home. She's just wayward, and I had always admired you, hoping we would become married," Amelia said, tears gathering in her eyes.I sighed. "Do not worry, I will end my marriage with Natalie, okay? She can move on with her life with whomever she pleases; I do not care," I told Amelia, and she smiled at me."Really? Does that mean you will consider dating me now? I really do love you, Frank, please?" Amelia asked, looking at me with soft eyes.She was truly beautiful, and with her blue eyes shining, I couldn't say no to her request.I had always wanted to date her. I used to like her.

    Franklin's POV,"Okay," Amelia replied, and we started eating the chicken pepper soup that the waiter had earlier served us.We didn’t speak as we ate, since the pepper soup was spicy. After we finished, and after having a few drinks, I began to feel a slight headache. I smiled at Amelia and told her, "I have to go home now. How about we meet up again tomorrow, Sunday? Do you go to church?""Um, yes, Frank. But I would like to have some time with you today. You know, just you and I," Amelia said, seductively touching my hand. I quickly withdrew it, understanding what she wanted."No. We cannot do anything silly right now. I'm still married to your sister, and my family isn’t aware that I want to divorce her," I told Amelia as I was beginning to sweat despite the air conditioning unit in the private parlor.Amelia frowned and tried to touch me again. "No one would know, Frank. I have always wanted you, and now that I'm back, we will be together, and you will send Natalie away."I wanted

But then he began accusing me of drugging him.I was stunned and thought he was joking, but he was dead serious. He picked me up in his arms, not giving me a chance to explain, and carried me straight to our bedroom on the top floor.Before my mind could register what he was about to do, Franklin slammed me onto the bed and started kissing me passionately.Franklin hadn't kissed me since we got married. He didn't want to acknowledge me as his wife. He mostly avoided me and insisted that I wasn't his wife.He ate my food and claimed he didn't like eating outside food because it wasn’t cooked well and often lacked proper ingredients.

    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
