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.

    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.

    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:I watched my husband laughing so hard with my elder sister, Amelia Jackson. What pained me more was seeing the way he got along with her. Franklin Howard had never laughed like this with me before, and here he was, laughing with my elder sister, "hahaha," so loud in the living room.Amelia Jackson is my elder sister, the same father but different mother.My mother was a mistress to my father, and because I was the unwanted child, my family didn't like me.I had three older brothers, James, Asher and Felix. All doting on Amelia.Amelia and I were age-mates, but she was only a month older than me, so that makes her my elder sister.We were both fair in complexion, but while she was tall, I was short and chubby.Frank was a Billionaire in this part of the city that we lived in, and he never liked me, who was his wife.It was all a mistake that led to Frank and I's marriage. A mistake that I ever agreed to.Taking you back to three years ago, my father and Frank's father we

    Natalie's POV:"Ah!" Amelia cried out like the doll that she was, and Frank rushed up to meet us."What did you do to her?" He growled at me as he softly helped Amelia up.I didn't even push her with force as 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 cannot believe that you would do this to your only sister. You aren't even the legitimate daughter of Mr. Liam, and yet you cannot treat your sister right. Come, Amy, let's go out and eat, and allow her to eat her food alone."Tears welled up in my eyes as I stood watching them. The day was Saturday, and definitely Frank doesn't go to work on Saturdays and Sundays.I sobbed, wanting to stop them, and I went outside just in time to see Frank getting into his car after he had helped Amelia to

    Franklin's POV:"You're right. We would have become married, but it's not too late for me to divorce your sister now. She isn't up to my standard, and I do not like her," I say as the waiter brought our dinner and Amelia smiled sweetly."How about me? I have always admired you then. Honestly, that night, I felt sad seeing that Natalie drugged you and used you as her escape from our parents' home. She's just wayward, and I had always admired you then, hoping we would become a pair," Amelia said, tears gathering in her eyes.I sighed."Do not worry, I will end my marriage with Natalie, okay? And she can move on with her life with whomever she pleases; I do not care," I told Amelia, and she smiled sweetly at me."Does that mean you will consider dating me now? I really do love you, Frank?" Amelia asked me, looking at me sweetly.She was really 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 then.

    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 to each other while eating, as the pepper soup was spicy. After we were through and had a few drinks, I was beginning to feel a slight headache, and 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 spend some time with you today. You know, just you and I," Amelia touched my hand, and I quickly withdrew them, understanding what she wanted."No. We cannot do anything silly for now. I'm still married to your sister, and my family isn't aware that I want to divorce her now," 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, as she said, "No one would know, Frank. I have always wanted you, and now that I'm back, we will be together, and you will send N

    Natalie's POV:I fell asleep waiting for Frank to return home after I had finished eating my dinner alone. When I awoke, I heard loud banging on the door.When I rushed to unlock it, Frank was back, and accusing me of drugging him.I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious, and he started kissing me and dropped me on the bed even before my mind could register what he was doing.Frank hadn't kissed me for three years since we got married. He didn't even want to acknowledge me as his wife. He only wanted my food, saying he didn't like eating food from outside because they didn't cook it well and usually mismanaged the ingredients. So he mostly returned home to eat what I had made for him."Frank, stop!" I tried to protest as I was breathing heavily.I was supposed to be excited that my husband was finally making love to me, but I knew that Frank wasn't in his right frame of mind. I suspected maybe Amelia had drugged him, and now Frank was home, accusing me of being the one who had

    Natalie's POV:I rushed downstairs to the living room of our enormous mansion and rushed to pick up my phone that I had left on the center table. Picking up my phone, I unlocked the screen and swiftly placed a call across to Dr. Famous Joseph. He was our family doctor, and since I got married to Frank, Dr. Famous had been the one coming to treat me or Frank whenever we fell sick.Frank hardly visited the hospital, so he invited Dr. Famous sometimes. I was scared of anything happening to my husband. Even though I knew Frank didn't like me that much, it hadn't gotten to the point of me wishing him death.The day was bright and sunny, being a Sunday, and the phone call went through."Hello, Doc.""Yes, good morning, who is this?" Dr. Famous asked me, taking me by surprise that he didn't have my phone number stored on his phone."Doc, I'm Mr. Franklin Howard's wife. Please, there is a case of emergency at our home.

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.

    **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

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.

    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

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

    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
