**Natalie Jackson**

Frank and I finished having our dinner. Although he wanted to feed me, I didn’t accept it. I told him I could do it myself.

“Why aren’t you happy that I want to?” Frank asked. I looked at his handsome face as he sat beside me on my left. “I am happy, only that I want us to eat quickly while it's hot.”

“Okay,” Frank didn’t argue with me, and we continued with the food until we were through. I stood up and cleared the plates to the kitchen, and as I returned, I recalled the tape that Franklin had asked me to keep in the morning before he left for work.

“Franklin,” I called him, since I was already used to calling him by his name. He rose from the chair and walked up to meet me.

“What’s it?” he asked as he neared me and pulled me into a warm hug, with my back resting against his chest.

“How about the tape you asked me to keep? Won’t you check it out?” I asked him, and he shrugged as if he didn’t want to.

“I will check it, but not now. I want to have you first,” Frank

    Natalie's POV: I thought Frank had left my room door, but he was still there. "Natalie, do you want me to sleep here by the door before you open up?" he asked me, and I smiled, still lying on the bed and not responding to him. "I am already on the floor, and I will sleep here since that is what you want," Frank said. I remained quiet, not responding to him. To my surprise, I heard movement at my door, followed by a groan from Frank as he laid on the bare floor. I didn't know when I jumped down from the bed and rushed to the door to unlock it. To my surprise, my husband—a billionaire CEO—was lying on the hard floor. "Frank!" I gasped, and he smiled as he sat up by the door. "You thought I was lying, didn't you?" he asked, and I blushed. "I never said that you're lying. Get up; you cannot sleep here. Go back to your room, as I am still angry with you," I told him, and he frowned. He rose, towering above me. "What should I do to make you forgive me? I am really serious about u

    Franklin Howard I arrived at my company, and compared to the previous day, I was in a good mood. I focused on my office work and later summoned my assistant into my office. I wanted to hire new staff for Natalie to lighten her workload at home. She wasn't my maid after all, and I had decided to take good care of her and pamper her like a billionaire's wife. My assistant came into my office to see me. He wore a black suit and smiled at me. "You sent for me, boss?" "Yes, I did," I replied, looking at him as I paused what I was clicking on my computer. "I want you to hire new domestic staff for me. Not here, but for my home," I said, leaning back in my office chair and maintaining eye contact with Wesley Ryan. "Okay, boss. Anything else you want me to do for you?" he asked. "No, that's all," I replied. "You can leave now and bring the new staff to meet with me once you hire anyone. The age group should be middle-aged women and above. I don't want any young women in my hous

    Franklin Howard:I didn't find Michael's revelation funny at all. I moved back to my desk, settled into my office chair, and looked at him."Is that why you came here to tell me that you want my wife?" I asked him, gazing directly at his face as I placed my hands on my desk. I had started to prepare my lunch that Natalie had brought into my office."Yes, Franklin," Michael replied. "I used to admire Natalie. I wanted her before you two accidentally got married, and you claimed she drugged you and that you were caught on her bed. I wished I was the man who had gone after her that night."I frowned as I watched my friend's face, hearing him express how much he wanted my wife. He concluded, "But it was already too late for me. Why don't you proceed with divorcing Natalie now? It's still early, Frank. Besides, you and I know that you don't like Natalie. Just let me have her."I shut the blue food flask that I had taken out of the lunch bag."No, Michael," I shook my head and picked up my

    Natalie Jackson:I went back into my house feeling excited that my marriage to Franklin had progressed. I went to serve my lunch and stepped out to the dining room, where I sat at one of the six chairs to devour my meal.My handbag was perched perfectly on the dining table. Just then, I heard my phone ringing inside my handbag. I rushed to take it out, and I was surprised to see that my father was the one calling me.I felt hesitant to answer his call. I dropped the phone and went back to sit in my chair to have my lunch. My phone rang again, and I finally picked it up."Hello, Natalie. Why did you place a ban on your sister and tell Franklin to cut ties with all of us?" my father inquired. I kept silent for a while and eventually greeted him, "Good afternoon, Dad.""Yes, 'afternoon.' That isn't the answer to my question. Amelia said she went to see Franklin at his office since she is looking for a new job now that she has returned. All you could do is tell Franklin to cut us off. Is

    Natalie Jackson:Franklin arrived home in the evening, just as I awoke in my room upstairs. I was wearing a white nightdress and a black pair of slippers. I went downstairs to welcome him when I heard the sound of his car arriving in our driveway and the doorbell ringing."Welcome home, sweetheart," I said to Franklin as I rushed up to meet him and hugged him happily.Franklin sealed his lips on mine as I took his black briefcase from his hands. He hoisted me up in his arms like I was a baby and carried me upstairs."Frank, where are you taking me? Put me down!" I protested, already knowing where Franklin was headed."I missed you and couldn't wait to come home to see you," he said as he climbed the flight of stairs toward our bedroom."Aww," I blushed as Frank entered my room, which was the first room at the top of the stairs. We had five bedrooms upstairs and some guest rooms downstairs.Frank gently placed me on my bed while I dropped his briefcase and stood up to help him out of h

    Natalie Jackson:Franklin's brows furrowed, and he replied, "Fine. I will open up a business for you, but not now. Let us have a baby first. After that, I will open a business of your choice. But we should make up for the three years we have wasted."I pouted my lips, as I didn't want to have a baby now. Having a baby would hinder my plan to start something.Frank resumed kissing me, and before I could protest, his hands flew into my wet region to seduce me to lie on the bed. I knew I couldn't resist him. One thing led to another. Franklin was on top of me, and we were both naked, with our clothes flying off the bed and landing on the tiled floor. He sprang into action, gaining entrance into my wet region, and made love to me all through the night.I knew his intention was to get me pregnant, and I understood that my chances of starting something wouldn't work out now. I loved Franklin, so I allowed him to make love to me. I took over and did all he wanted, and we reached our climax a

    Natalie Jackson:"Good afternoon, Madam. Where are you heading to without an umbrella?" Alex asked, smiling at me politely."I'm going to the company. You know that I do not know how to drive. Or can you drive?" I asked. I felt eager to cruise in one of Franklin's cars. I was his wife. Recalling the day that Franklin had opened his car door for Amelia like a gentleman made me sad."I'm sorry, Madam. I don't know how to drive. But you could tell my boss to hire a driver for you," Alex politely spoke to me."No, it's fine. I can manage. Just pull the gate open; I will get a taxi on the way," I said to him, smiling back.Alex hastily pulled the black gate open, and I stepped out, waving goodbye to him as I left the compound.Walking along the estate road, I saw a black car driving up to exit the estate. The car slowed down and parked ahead, making my brows furrow."Excuse me, pretty lady. Where are you heading to? Come on, hop in my car, let me give you a free ride," the potbelly man in

    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."

    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?

    **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

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.

    **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
