All Chapters of Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Selene's POV. "He said that?" Julie asked in a bewildered tone as she cleaned the tabletop in front of her."Of course you did, why do you think I'm angry?" I responded before picking up a dishcloth. For the past few days, my anger knew no bounds and the only way I could express it was to go out to meet my friend, Julie. She was even closer than Lily because I was the one having to babysit such a grown woman simply because she couldn't keep herself in check and now I had to waste my time trying to do a lot just to appease her. She hadn't been picking up my calls, making things even worse. Sometimes I wondered how I was able to get in contact with such a person who wasn't interested in self-development and would rather wallow in discussing issues that didn't pertain to any of our growth. "I don't think he meant anything bad," she began before shaking her head when she realized that she had probably stepped on my nerves around I was not going to respond in a way she like. "I'm only s

Selene's POV. "I know right? She is not going to like this especially when she wakes up. I can almost see her eyes rolling in fear when she discovers that..." My eyes fluttered open so that I could get to know those guys who were talking especially in my ear. I saw Julie standing in my room but to my surprise, Jakob was also in his wheelchair, staring at me. "Why is everyone looking at me like I am a ghost?" I asked defensively. Julie's eyes sparkled with mystery and I found myself backing up. What had these two been planning behind my back? I knew that my friend was the most stable person I had in my life right now, but it didn't still stop me from thinking that she might have suddenly abandoned her brain, and that's why she was here with my supposed husband. "I guess this is my cue to leave. Have a nice day, Julie." Jakob responded, making me shake my head in shock. I would never have expected that both of them would suddenly become best of friends. When did this happen and I wa

Selene's POV.I noticed a pair of eyes on me and looked up right in time just to see him averting his gaze. "If I didn't know better, I would think that you are impressed by me." I joked, watching him roll his eyes yet not still speaking. I didn't know why Julie had ever imagined that this tactic was going to work out. She had promised that it was fail-proof and that she had encouraged a lot of people who had ended up getting men eating out of the palms of their hands. I didn't think it was going to be so in Jakob's case. I knew that calling him my husband irritated him but he was only trying to be as civil as possible. "If I didn't know better, I would think that you have a degree in accounting and have a great eye for detail." He retorted, suddenly sucking the playful atmosphere. Refusing to be deterred, according to Julie's infamous words. 'if you want him to notice you, then you have to do something that no other person has.' I raised an eyebrow; he was goading me just to be

Selene's POV."What do you mean by he lashed out at you when you're not the cause of his problems? You can be a handful, but that's not an excuse for him to do that, especially when you are trying your best to be helpful to him. Do you need me to come talk to him?" She asked, her voice taking an annoyed tilt. "You know knock some sense into him? He can't keep pushing people away because he has an ailment." I rolled my eyes, "I am seriously at wit and with that man. He is impermeable. It's almost as though I have offended him right from the start and now was the best time for him to unleash whatever ire he had to dish out. I know that he might be hurting but that doesn't give him the right to treat me like a gum under his shoes.""I feel ya, babe." "Are you sure you feel me, or are you just telling me this to make me happy?" Julie burst into laughter, shaking her head slightly as she assembled the cups. "I have different approaches for this situation but I don't know your state of m

Selene's POV. I bumped into a stranger just as I was coming into the house. "Hey..." I called as she refused to acknowledge that she crashed into me. What sort of behavior was this? Was this one of the litany of girlfriends that Jakob kept around who refused to know their place around here? "Where are you coming from and why are you leaving by this time?" I asked. She looked me up and down before cocking her head sideways. "I'm here to take care of Jakob. How may I help you?" She replied rudely, not even having the decency to move away so I could enter in. Who gave these girls the audacity to go about a fuss about nothing? I would never have imagined that I would be in such a position where I would be contesting with a stranger in my house. "I am Jakob's wife. I demand to know what exactly you are doing in my husband's house." "Your husband. You are just returning after leaving him for so long and expect to meet him in one piece? If you're unable to take care of him why don't yo
