Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 110
Selene's POV I gazed into Julie's eyes, blinking slowly, while smiling sheepishly. It felt like I was floating on my air, the world around me felt like it was spinning. I had never felt this type of hangover in a while, it must have been a crazy night… "Oh my goodness, I don't even have a single idea why you're acting out." Julie mumbled under her breath in annoyance, making me grin even more lazily. "Oomph!" She muttered, trying to pull me to the side, "what have you been eating?" She complained, making me even laugh more. I laughed as I tried to steady myself gripping the sheets of my bed wondering how I had been so careless when muffled voices reached my ears. Slowly, I squinted as I tried to focus on the voices when I heard a slight noise in the kitchen area or so I thought and my curiosity even grew bigger with me just trying to be as lovely as I could but still very much involved in whatever I could find. The reason why I had been a little bit reluctant to do a thing or

Selene's POV to bits but now she suddenly couldn't handle the pressure, making me laugh at her ignorance. "You have every right to be mad at me for trying to push you into Jakob's hands, but this is even more ridiculous." "Jakob? Kensington?" Jackson asked with his eyes up in the sky looking at us waiting for answers. "Yeah..." I dragged out, "do you know him?" Jackson shook his head probably realizing that he had said more than he should and this was probably going to back fire on him in a wrong way making him a bit angry at himself or making such a mistake. The next thing he did was to move on by pretending like he had not just said a thing about my ex-husband. "I should leave." He said, kissing Julie on the cheek and jetting off. "See you later." I could hear a pin drop as Julie's lips lifted into a small smirk, "You didn't have to go off like that on him. My poor baby is probably scared that his girlfriend has a freak for a friend." She winked at me, making me laugh my

Selene's POV. The party arena was lit with different fabulous lights, making me impressed at Julie's ability to quickly come up with something in the space of a few minutes. She was a genius and I wasn't going to take her for granted. She walked up to me with smiles on her face making me laugh. "How is the decor?" She rocked on her feet. I didn't hide my excitement by drawing her even closer and patting her on her back. "You did a great job in a few hours. Not a lot of people can boast of disability and you did it without thinking of what you would gain. Remind me to increase your salary by thirty percent." I said. Julie's eyes widened considerably because it was evidence she wasn't expecting me to appreciate her efforts. "Oh my goodness! I can't believe the fact that you would want me to have so much in the space of a few months working with you. You are absolutely the best person that I have come across in my entire life and I am grateful for this opportunity. I promise ne

Selene's POV There were too many things that I wanted to bring to the present immediately but I decided to relax and wait a bit so that I didn't look like I was trying too hard. Perceptions were easy to form especially when people didn't have any idea of who you were. Julie played the dutiful assistant by wiping my forehead with a handkerchief even though I didn't feel hot in any way. She also helped me in discussing with people that she felt I was not in the mood to talk to. I appreciated her efforts but would like for her to tone it's a little bit because I had a lot of things to talk about. I shook hands with a few people who were willing to talk to me but the opportunity had never presented itself and I was a bit stunned that they had been searching actively for this. I had no idea and would like for it to be thrashed out almost immediately for that was the only way I could understand a few things. A few reporters stood right in front of me with their gazes focused on mi

Selene's POV.The sound of the alarm clock going off had me jumping out of bed. This wasn't supposed to be happening!I turned, seeing Jakob still snoring slightly in his naked glory! Shit! Julie freaking warned me yet I went ahead to do what I wanted and now I regretted it. I shouldn't have agreed to take that drink with him. Now here I was trying to struggle with my dignity. How were we supposed to look at each other tomorrow? I gathered my things frantically, rushing out while cussing myself for taking a wrong step. Everyone was going to blame me for this nonsense. I brought it all upon myself and no one could save me. I wished that he wouldn't come looking for me. I was going to chase him away and pretend like I wasn't with him the other night. Where to go! Where to go? If I decided to go home, I would need to board a taxi but that means that I was going to be late to the meeting I was supposed to have todayHoly shit! It was just two glasses of wine and here I was acting

Jakob's POV. "Hey, babe!" Mia jumped into bed, "Hi.""Just hi?" She asked with a slight raise of her brow. "I thought you would be happy to see me. I have been gone for some time now and this is how you welcome me?" She whispered as though I had committed a huge crime. "I don't think it is right for you to go out so late and return expecting me to welcome you with open arms." I responded sincerely.It would be a different case if she knew what was right and decided to do it but in this situation she was only getting on my last nerve. Someone had to speak sense into her head to make her realize how important her actions impacted me. She had the audacity to blink as though she wasn't in the wrong. "I know, right? I'm sorry. I just had to meet up with my clients so that I could finalize a few things.""Excuses upon excuses. How long do you think I'm going to last with this? Sometimes even the affectionate deserves affection. You do not care about how I feel or live. It's all about y

Selene's POV. I was restless when I kept on thinking about what Jakob was facing in the hands of a two-timing bitch. How the hell was I supposed to tell him without him feeling like I was trying to sabotage his peace with a woman who didn't give two hoots about him? While it might sound a little bit strange I knew that he was going to make a huge deal out of it and now I was going to be left with no choice but to retaliate. I didn't want to be called a homewrecker essentially after the first fights that we had. "Ma'am, I will be closing early today because I need to pick up some groceries at the store. Do you want me to do any shopping for you?" Julie, my assistant, spoke. I wrinkled my nose because food was the last thing on my mind. I had more pressing issues that would make more sense if they were addressed than just eating. I wanted to prove to that man that the woman he thought he knew was far from the truth. My head was spinning and at the same time I was still trying to f

Selene's pov"Tell me something different than I would quickly believe you over anything else that you have in mind to say." Julie spoke up as soon as her boyfriend exited my house. I had to cancel the meeting that I had so that I would not look like I was stressing myself out over something out of my control. Getting out of hand and all I needed was some peace and quiet. "That boy isn't straightforward with you and I'm only hopeful that you can see this before getting into any more relationship with him. He knows that I probably hate his gods and he will do everything to separate us just to prove that I am not what I claim to be." Julie sank to her knees, thinking of what just happened. Her boyfriend had not even given her a time of the day to discuss properly as he kept on with his excuse or having some work to do. As one who wouldn't like to be the ringer of bad news, I had to disgrace his efforts."And you don't think that you read wrong? I mean not everyone is a bad person and

Epilogue(Author’s pov) The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting golden lights across the room. Selene sat on the bed, her laptop was open and her fingers flew over the keys as she responded to emails. Her work demanded her attention too much these days, but it was difficult to concentrate when Ethan was running around the house like a whirlwind. The little boy had energy that never seemed to run out. He kicked his small red ball against the walls and let out triumphant cheers when it bounced back, then ran after it with wild excitement. Selene had gotten the ball for him on his 3rd birthday and ever since, the boy had turned it into his companion and his father hadn’t stopped talking about how he was going to be the best football player in the world. His tiny feet thudded against the floor and along with his squeals of excitement, Selene was frustrated. She didn’t know how else to caution him and had already gotten tired. "Ethan, slow down!" Selene called, he

Selene’s Pov; I kept hearing voices, some were familiar and others, unfamiliar, but what enraged me was that I couldn’t tell whom the voices belonged to. My eyes fluttered open slowly after a while and I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the blinding light in the room. The room was unfamiliar and I glanced around, trying to recall how I got here. The ceiling glowed with the harsh fluorescent light. The sharp scent of antiseptic burned my nose, the rhythmic beeping of a monitor filled the silence around me and my body ached, as if I had been torn apart and stitched back together. I tried to move but my legs didn’t respond and panic rose to my chest. I sucked in a sharp breath, my hands moving to my thighs. My fingers trembled as they pressed against my thighs and then my knees, nothing. No sensation, no movement. Nothing at all! A strangled noise escaped my throat as I tried again, harder this time, but my legs remained dead weight beneath me. No, no, no. My heart slammed

Author’s Pov; Logan glanced around quickly, his breath came in ragged gasps as he sprinted through the prison corridor. His palms were slick with sweat, and his heart raced, but that didn’t stop him. This was his moment. This was the perfect opportunity and this time, he was going to ensure that he was successful. But fate had other plans for him.Just as he reached the gates, someone yanked him back. "Going somewhere?" The warden’s voice was taunting. He had been watching the man and knew that he was up to no good. Turns out he was right. Logan gritted his teeth, trying to pull himself out of the man’s grip, but it was useless. Within seconds, two more guards tackled him to the ground, pressing his face into the cold floor. "Son of…" Logan growled, struggling against their grip. "Shut it," one of the guards barked, twisting Logan’s arms painfully behind his back. "You really thought you could buy your way out this time?" Logan chuckled darkly, despite the pain. "Do you ev

Selene's POV The doors opened, and the soft melody of the piano filled the small chapel. My heart pounded so hard I thought everyone could hear it. I took a deep breath, but it didn’t help much. My hands felt empty without someone holding them. I had dreamed of this day since I was a little girl, but in those dreams, I never imagined walking down the aisle alone. I had imagined my father to be the one ushering me down the aisle in my glistering and beautiful wedding gown and then into the hands of my husband but I guessed everything happens for a reason. I gripped my bouquet tighter and took my first step. My mother sat in the front row, smiling at me with teary eyes. Jakob’s parents sat beside her, their faces warm and kind. Martha gave me a thumbs-up. Sean nodded, his face serious, but I knew he was happy for me. Julie was grinning, whispering something to her boyfriend, everyone looked at me with love and support, but the empty space beside me was too loud, I was not supposed

Author's POV Two weeks had gone past since they returned to the country. It had been a hard time, keeping memories of sorrow; joy, however, was to remain valid for this night. Jakob and Selene’s parents sat together for dinner, sharing laughter and memories in a great camaraderie of friendship. Summer warm, one could hear names and clinking of glasses and rejoicings. Jakob surveyed the table. He breathed in once. “I want to say something, there is something very important I would like to say.” The attention of the room shifted to him. Selene appeared sweetly and placed her hand on his. He lifted his glass. “But before I say what I have to say, first of all let us take this toast,” he paused as they all took their glass of wine, " To family.” “To family!” Everyone chimed in and raised their glasses. Jakob looked on smiling. “I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for all of you. You have been my backbone, my strength. You pulled me out of the deep waters. Selene’s father..” J

Author's POV Mia planted herself on the cold bench within the jail cell and tapped her fingers against the metallic bars, letting out a huffed breath as she pulled out the tiny phone she had hidden in her pocket and moved her fingers quickly to dial Jacob's number. She needed to act fast before the prison guards on duty came to check on her and caught her, being without a phone was the worst thing that could ever happen to her in this cruel place. She cleared her throat and she mentally went on the words she was going to say to Jakob. The phone rang: once, twice, three times, and then he finally picked up, his voice barely above a whisper. "What do you want, Mia? How were you able to call me anyways?" She swallowed hard, pressing the phone closer. "Jakob, listen, I don't have much time so you have to listen to me attentively. I need you to get me out of here." Silence. Then a small chuckle. "You need me to do what?" Mia clenched her teeth. "Bail me out, Jakob! I shouldn't b

Selene's POV The TV had been on for some time, but my focus had wandered off entirely. My mind had been busy wandering amidst all the things I had to do when my name rang a bell.I blinked."Selene Carter’s art collection is making waves throughout the industry!" said the host, announcing. "People are talking, and the demand to see the owner herself is growing loud."I froze.Jakob must have been scrolling through his phone. "Did they just say your name?"I nodded slowly. "I think so."Jakob raised the volume. The host continued: "Collectors and critics are raving about the unique style, and emotion behind every piece. The name Selene Carter is being whispered about in art circles, and they want to know who she is?"My phone buzzed again, and a notification popped up, someone had mentioned me in a tweet."Where is Selene Carter? We need to see her! #ArtGenius #Masterpiece."Another tweet appeared."This woman’s art speaks to my soul. Who is she? Someone tell me!"I swallowed. This co

Jakob POV I breathed out the moment the plane touched down. It was a lengthy flight. Selene shifted beside me, stretching her arms. She didn't look at me, nor had she for most of the flight. I cared little, not my problem anymore. "We're here," I said, unbuckling my seatbelt. She sighed. "Yeah, we are here finally. The journey for me is so tiring, I need a cool bath and a soft bed to lay on." "Hmm,” I hummed, nodding in agreement to what she wanted. We got our bags and walked out from the plane. The airport was teeming with people; I barely noticed. My eyes straight went to the front where our parents stood awaiting, they spotted us instantly. My mother waved cheerily, and my father grinned beside her. Selene's mother stood there, too, blood-shot but relieved. I expected just a simple greeting, maybe some hugs but as soon as we stepped closer, laughter broke out. My parents were laughing so hard I had to blink, "What's so funny? Is there something on us or did we do something

Jakob's POV. At this point I knew that I was in for some huge ride and I needed to prepare myself for the reality of the situation. This was absurd for me to say the least, but even at that I was only hoping that I will be able to do what I should. Sometimes I wonder why I bothered myself so much with her situation when I should have been able to decipher that she didn't think of me in such a manner. It was more like a thing of convenience for her and even though I didn't want to accept it I guess I found myself doing that already. It didn't mean that I loved it, but I had no choice. "She was going to fight tooth and nail just to have her freedom, or what she considered freedom and I needed to be wise about fighting someone like this. It almost never ended well. I picked up my phone and called my friend. He was the only one who could tell me the truth without hiding. "I need your help because I think I am running mad. I need your help because this woman is about to make me into som
