Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 88
Selene's POV. "Wow, thank you for this presentation. We would not know what to do if you had not come in the time you did." My assistant said as the rest of my staff broke into applause. I enjoyed how much they decided to be attentive especially after everything that had happened. I didn't want to be in whatever makes with them but I just needed to play along. I have researched long and hard for the latest innovation that will move my company forward."We still have to meet with Mr. Kensington. Do you have a conversation with them and see how they can help out in the importation while we remain the sole distributor." My assistant said again. After the reshuffling I ended up with another young lady who just finished high School and was looking for a job as a clerk. The applause died down as they all gazed at me, probably waiting for my response so they would know what to do next. I only stared at her for a minute before speaking. "According to what I have here with me, it is not an

Selene's POV. Swamped with work, I didn't even have the time nor the energy to think about anything related to fighting or any of that sort. I just wanted to be on my own and that was what I was doing. It was profitable, to say the least, because now I had a clear focus on my goals and was going at them. I made a lot of sales and revolutions but still didn't forget my primary purpose. One of the reasons that Logan was able to convince me otherwise was because of my love for the job and not necessarily because I wanted his love. I picked up my phone and contacted one of my agents who had worked for me a long time ago when I was still trying to find my foot in the world and was trying my hands at more modeling. "So what exactly are you looking for? I know that people might want to keep against your new initiative because it is something they are not used to but that shouldn't even be the reason you would stop whatever you are doing." Jake said through the receiver making me laugh.

Selene's pov."Hell, no, what the hell is actually going on here? Do you truly expect me to be happy with whatever it is that you are trying to shove down my throat?" I demanded from my mother, taking further steps backwards. I kind of understood the fact that she wanted us to come back together but she also had to realize that it would never be possible no matter how much she tried. I just wanted the best for myself and to take a deep breath. This was outrightly disrespectful. Jakob's eyes ran over my full length from head to toe as he kept on watching me carefully. "I know that this might come as a shock to you but that isn't sufficient reason and not for you to push away whatever it is that we have together." Jakob spoke.The last time I saw him, he was resolute with his decision about me not being with him. Now he was trying to pass on other information as though I was not in my right to be angry at whatever he was trying to do. I sincerely didn't bloody care about his words

Jakob's pov. The insane rejection had me rethinking things and this had prompted me to call Sean. He was the only one who understood how I felt at this moment and sometimes I wondered how I was supposed to cook with her absence especially now that I know that she was truly done. "What do you intend to do now?" Sean asked tapping his foot on the log I honestly didn't know what to say because it was going to sound stupid. He was going to call me out on my bullshit anyway so why did I even want to prove a thing when I could just keep quiet and watch? "I don't know what I want. I know that I probably want her back but she has made her decision and I don't think I can contend with that." I said honestly. He looked at me for a minute before laughing. "Exactly what I thought too. If I were you, I honestly wouldn't have wasted anymore time in handling the situation as best as I could, even if it means groveling before her. She is one of those lovely people that you don't want to lose reg

Selene's POV. Two months later, As I walked towards my father's ward, I couldn't help the anxiety that filled my heart even though I knew that he wasn't going to die anytime soon.Something inside of me told me how interesting this was going to be but, I still wanted to see for myself before passing any judgment.My eyes landed on the person in front of the reception table. She didn't look like the person that I have been communicating with and when I tried to dial her number, she didn't pick up. "Good morning, I am here to see my father. Mr. Mcclein. I know it has been a long time since I called but I figured that you would have been expecting me by now. I hope this is not past visiting hours." I asked her with a small smile on my face. She squinted for a bit trying to figure out where she knew me from and I kept on smiling. This was the best news anyone could get from me. "You are the woman on TV. You are the one who has begun a revolution with plus size women. I'm so honored t

Selene's POV. I had absolutely no reason not to rush towards doing whatever it is I wanted. I just wanted to take a deep breath and process the whole shebang before taking a decision that could ruin my life. If someone was after my father then I needed to find out who before digging up dust. This had totally turned into a thriller where I had to be very open and trying as much as possible to ensure that everything went smoothly while I remained anonymous. This was nonsense regardless. How could a healthcare become compromised that now there was no peace whatsoever and I had to look over my shoulders so that I didn't fall into a ditch simply because certain people had decided not to take their oath seriously!I looked at my father through the glass and realized how important it was to have a father figure lurking around. If he was in his right state he would contest this to the last and I thought of another option. If I reached out to Jakob's parents to fight this for me I might

Jakob's POV. I fumbled with the pen in my hand as I tried to take a deep breath and understand what the hell was going on. My eyes were shutting close, but I refused to be deterred by the new wave of what I was handling. I didn't need anyone to touch or speak to me, but I realized how important this was and what mistake I had made in the past few months. My company was back to normal, but I refused to go along with a divorce process, to Sean's amusement. He had teased me relentlessly about it, but I refused to give in to the pressure. I was one of those people who didn't think it was necessary to go ahead fighting for a woman because I would have to continue doing it. My legs were getting pretty healed, probably because I had no one to baby me anymore. Mia had traveled so I was able to enjoy my stay and probably never have any complications whatsoever. I loved the fact that I could be myself and didn't have to stress a dime over trying to be perfect or look a certain way. It was

Selene's POV. I strolled towards the elevator, with my MacBook in hand. My new assistant Gina had been very effective in the past few years and I sometimes wonder why it took so long before I realized how important she was to the business It was a great thing to come in contact with people who were like-minded. Running around in court trying to sew that loyal who obviously had a lot of connections but was not going to win nonetheless, was not easy therefore I realized how important this was going to be. Gina's call had me tapping my earphones as I looked away from the elevator. "Yes darling, what do you want?" "Good morning ma, I wanted to inform you that a few investors have arrived so that you would take the back door into the office. The meeting is slated for 9:00 a.m." she added after realizing that it was too early for me to comprehend what the hell was going on here. "No way, you can take them to the conference room while I prepare for the meeting. do not tell anyone that I

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
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 113
Selene's POVThere were too many things that I wanted to bring to the limelight almost immediately but I've decided to relax and wait a bit so that I didn't look like I was pushing too hard. If anyone had such a perception of me then it was going to ruin my mysticism. Annie played the dutiful friend by wiping my forehead with a napkin even though I didn't feel hot in any way That was just her way of supporting me and I was pretty impressed by the new development. After waiting for some time, I suddenly decided to take a deep breath and try to understand what the hell was going on.The room went silent on my grandmother walked in. "Don't tell me that he is still trying to come up? He is doing a lot more than I expected him to. Annie, what didn't you inform me when you arrived?" I rolled my eyes at her provocative tone. What the hell did she think she was doing to a girl who had no explanations to tender to her? It wasn't her fault in any way, shape, or form about whatever was going
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 112
Selene's POV. The doctor might have agreed to keep his mouth shut for now. But I knew better than to rely on just one person to keep my secret. If I wanted to stay ahead I needed a backup plan. My mind searched through the people I knew trying to figure out who I knew could keep a secret or who I could trust but no one came up. They’re all fake and trusting them is like digging my own grave. I inhaled resting my head on the pillow when a mane struck my thought. Roslyn If I can at least give some 50% of my trust it should be Roslyn. She’s unpredictable sharp and good. I wasn’t sure if I could trust her but I also knew she was my best option. I picked up my phone and dialed her number. The phone rang twice before she picked up. “Jordan?” Her voice was steady but I could hear the sight edge of sorry beneath it. “Where the hell have you been?” “Worried about me?” I smirked. “This isn’t funny!” She snapped. “Do you have an idea of what’s happening? Your family is practically set
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 111
Selene's POV The private suite was just as quiet now as when I arrived. The kind of silence that felt unnatural pressing down on me like a weight I couldn’t shake. The steady beep of the heart monitor and the occasional shuffle of the doctor moving around the room were the only sounds breaking the stillness. Pain throbbed through my ribs with every breath a dull ache reminded me of just how close I had come to losing everything. My libs were still sluggish from whatever medication they had pumped into me but my kind was clear too clear. I wasn’t supposed to be here I wasn’t supposed to be alive but somehow I managed to escape death. Maybe that was lucky or not. I was about to ask the doctor for water when he suddenly pulled out his phone his expression tight. He glanced at me before pressing a button putting the call on a speaker. “You need to hear this.” He muttered setting the phone down on the table beside me. I frowned but said nothing he must have something to show me s
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 110
Selene's POV 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… I thought 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 tried to focus on the voices when I heard a slight beeping machine, slowly my eyelids fluttered open and I was faced with a ceiling that was certainly strange making it clear I was not in my room. "You should have been here earlier." A soft feminine voice uttered, making me incline my head in the direction ignoring the throb in my head. I tried to focus on who was speaking. "Annie, don’t start." A familiar voice shot back laced with frustration. "Don’t start?" Annie retorted, scoffing. "He was bleeding out, Josh! Where were you?" Blood. The word sent a slow, crawling heat through my chest. My fingers twitched against stiff sheets, memories flickeri
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 109
Selene's POV The beeping of the heart monitor filled the hospital room, the steady rhythmic sounds of my heartbeat had long since faded into the background of my mind. The scent of strong antiseptic clung to the air, sharp and sterile, an obvious and never ending reminder that I was still in this place— bedridden.I let out a little sigh—I had spent enough time on this bed to memorize the exact placement of every single object in the room. To anyone else that might have sounded a little funny.I noticed how the curtains danced in the breeze whenever wind came, it made me crave for the outside world and not the way the cold sheets felt against my skin. Or the numb ache at my sides.But none of these discomforts compared to the unease brewing within me as I turned my head toward my grandmother who sat silently on the cushioned chair next to me.No matter how many times I had tried to shrug the thoughts off, they just wouldn't budge.She had been acting strange for a while now—too stra
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 108
Coming from someone who had waited so long to get answers I guess the taste of victory still lingard in my mouth as I tried to figure out what exactly the problem would be if I went on with my idea. Absolutely no one to support me besides myself and my persistent belief that I could do this. I didn't even bother about going on and on above the usual. I just waited and sealed deals from my office. Julie was my greatest supporter as she didn't miss a day to gas me up and tell me how amazing I was. This was the kind of person I wanted in my life who was going to always prove that there was a reason for me to always have sufficient people around. It wasn't going to change the fact that I was going to suffer to bring my vision to limelight even though I had a few agencies who wanted to mingle with me. I had to turn most of them down when I realized that their visions didn't tally with what they wanted me to do. It was always prohibited to mingle with such people as long as t
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 107
Seline’s POV Yes! We did it. The joy of the victory I just got spread like wildfire in my body, I couldn’t contain it. The doors of the courtroom swung open and I stepped into the daylight. The sun, high in the sky, hit me with a blend of heat and severe brightness. I had to cover my eyes for a second to adjust to it. I opened my eyes to see a large number of crowd made up of people who Mr Fisher had unjustly robbed in the name of getting treatment in his hospital, and their families, journalists and news agencies all waiting patiently for the result. The moment they all sighted me, a sudden hush fell over them. Some had their palms joined together, mumbling words of prayers. Others simply held hands with or embraced their relatives in hope of good news. “We won!” I declared and the crowd erupted into cheers. Many couldn’t contain their tears and broke down. I held tightly unto the folder of legal documents close to my chest, an evidence of the justice I won for myself and ev
Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire CHAPTER 106
Author's POV. The courtroom air? Stale. Stiff. Like a morgue with better lighting. Dr. Fisher sits slumped. Tailored suit. Empty eyes. His lawyer, a slick weasel in pinstripes, adjusts his tie. 'Nervous'. Prosecutor Amelia Voss strides forward. Heels 'click-clack' like a ticking bomb. She slaps a file on the jury’s rail. Papers flutter. “Ladies. Gentlemen. This man”—she whirls, points at Fisher—“is no healer. He’s a 'chemist of death'.” The jury leans in. Fisher’s pen trembles. “Forged prescriptions. Falsified records. 'Profit over pulse'.” Voss tosses photos—bottles with smudged labels, scribbled dosages. “He didn’t 'mistreat' patients. He 'weaponized' them.” A juror gasps. Fisher’s lawyer stands. “Objection! Speculative—” “Overruled.” Judge Calloway’s voice grinds. Granite face. Ice-chip eyes. “Proceed, Ms. Voss.” She smiles. Feral. “Gladly.” ''' The witnesses come. A parade of ghosts. First: Mrs. Eliza Trent. Apron stained. Hands raw. “My husband… his arthritis
