Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 151
. Jakob's POV. All attempts to track down Selene ended up futile and my heart began to pound at a point if I would be able to ever reach her again. My friend had also made matters like telling me that I didn't deserve such a good woman, as though I needed some reminder of how much of a failure I was. If there was anyone who regretted his entire life, I had to take the cake simply because I knew that I had lost the only Good thing that was left in my life, and I was not even exaggerating this. "Why do you look so sour, one would think that you have lost your cat?" Sean said, as he walked into my apartment with a small smile on his face. Asking him for help was only going to make me get insulted, and I didn't think I wanted that right now. All I wanted was someone who could sympathize with me not one who would nail me to the cross even further. I was thinking that he would have some sympathy for his friend, but that wasn't the case, and I didn't want to overstate my importance.

Author's POV. Julie cast a gaze at the dwindling bar. It was already 11:00 p.m. and she was thinking of closing for the day already. Sales were not as far as frequent as she would have expected it to be and that was even a lot for her to handle. One of the things that came to her mind was the fact that she had the ability to bring Selene back but that was going to take a whole lot because that okay was hard to win over. Her phone kept on ringing and when she picked it off it ended up being her boyfriend. This was definitely not the person she was waiting for but what choice did she have besides having to choose whatever came her way and hope that everything was fine. "So, have you been able to listen to the people who have brought the packages? You asked that I showed up right? Why haven't you picked it up?" He asked over the phone, feeling a little bit weird that she didn't want his money or anything that had to do with him. Julie scrunched her nose at his attempt to provid

Jakob's pov. My quest to find where my woman might had become my priority. Julie had refused to give me the exact location where she was so I needed to take it upon myself to do so and guess who managed to get everything right back on track? Absolutely me. But before I went in search of a woman, I needed to finalize a few things and also make sure that I was right in my own sight. It would be bad for business if I presented myself unworthily at a function. My parents came to visit but I was not thrilled to receive them. I had made a mess out of my life and wanted to clean it up now. "Why have you decided to push the lovely parents away? Is it one of those ideas that you came up with at such a whim or you had a thought process about it? Is it something that you also think you can deal with or what?" "You're nothing but a pest and no, I don't want to talk to you about issues going on in my life, how about you stay off?" I responded to my dear friend, Sean. Sean stretched out

Selene's POV. I woke up feeling a lot more refreshed than I was in the past few weeks and owing it to nobody but myself. After everything that had happened the past few weeks, with Kim dropping the bombshell on me, to my friends also acting up as soon as they had the chance to, I was fully beginning to recover. There was a lot involved and quite frankly, I needed something that would trigger me to do more. There was a knock at the door, which pulled me to my feet immediately. Rushing there, I was greeted with an avalanche of balloons, hanging in the air, just to say it was nice to see me. This was all Kim's handiwork as I tried to figure out what exactly she thought was worth celebrating. "Thank you, but I didn't order these." I stated clearly. The amount of nostalgia I felt when watching this was not to be compared to anything at all. Infact, there was absolutely no way that I would have been able to deal with the stress that came with having a little answers here and

Jakob's POV. "C'mon, Mr. Jakob, you can do it." My therapist encouraged me after I had crashed to the ground immediately trying to walk a few days ago after being introduced at the club. I went there to check on some of my investments. Just sitting, and expecting results were not exactly what I wanted for myself. The weight of my actions impacted my next move as I thought about what to do next to stop myself from crashing to the ground at such a pace. I took a deep breath just to stop myself from breathing so hard. I pushed again, but this time I leaned flat on my ass, leaving me even more crushed than I should have been from the beginning. "You can do it, Mr. Jakob. You don't want me to tase you, do you?" She asked with a wide smile. Even if I was emotionless, I had a renewed sense of purpose. I had absolutely no idea why everything that I was doing was falling to the ground but I needed this in my entire life. I needed someone who believed in me and I wanted to be that p

Selene's POV. I lounged on my bed slowly hoping that I was not able to find anyone to talk to or that no one was going to disturb me at all, because that would be a whole lot for me to handle and quite frankly I was not even remotely in the mood to discuss anything about that. All I wanted was to just relax and stretch my legs and probably just see how things played out but here I was, hoping that she also didn't show up because she wanted us to go for a lunch date. She was the only one that made my life colorful besides her brother Jordan that popped him once a while ever since I discovered that he had a girlfriend. As much as I would love to indulge Kim just to make her happy in her last days, I wanted to also draw the line between doing what made me happy and not making me pretty sad. It would be stupid of me to think that I wanted to make someone else happy when I was displeased myself. I didn't think it made any sense for me to be a little bit worried about someone else t

Jakob's POV. Waiting outside Selene's house had to be the most interesting thing that I have done in the last few months. It didn't matter that she didn't acknowledge that I started walking. I honestly wanted to wait her out until she was ready to accept me back into her life and then I could now pitch whatever I had to say to her but for now, I kind of understood if she didn't want to speak to me ever again and I would never be mad at her. The only thing that I wanted right now was to have some time to myself and ensure that she saw my vulnerability and willingness to be true to her. I didn't want a case where she would ever doubt my loyalty. I wanted to please her with everything that I got inside of me and honestly that was my major goal. The fact that I have to waste some time just to be able to tell her how much I missed and loved her was even killing me to begin with so this was more like a punishment for me. I would take this over any other drill A woman bounced

Selene's POV. From where I sat, I could see Jacob's hands trembling lately as he didn't know where to start from. "I- i want to apologize for being a fool and taking you for granted." I raised my eyebrows this time more deliberately just to hear whatever he had to say and to think about it but I was not considering returning home with him or wherever he called home. "I've heard that countless times what I do not understand is why you came all the way here to tell me this." "You blocked me from calling you. You went away from the whole world and I was worried about you. I didn't know what to think, I didn't know where to go. I had to force Julie to tell me where the hell you were. I was running mad with worry. I don't know how you didn't but Sean also refused to give me access to finding you." He said out of frustration. I shouldn't be happy about his dilemma but I couldn't help myself from being excited that finally he must be going to understand what it meant to also b

Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 174
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
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 173
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
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 169
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
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 166
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
