All Chapters of Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Selene's POV. I sincerely do not know why I was here because this wasn't supposed to be in my story to tell but I wanted it to be in the open before things went out of hand. "I'm sure you already know that Meredith is not here because of a business proposal." I began watching him cross his legs over the other. I had no idea he could do that. Well, there are a lot of things I didn't know about him, so it wasn't new. "Seriously? I wouldn't have thought that she would enjoy you spilling her secrets just yet. Are you sure she's going to like this?" I shook my head at his attempts to brush off my words like they didn't mean anything. "So you knew all this while and you allowed her to move about thinking that she was deceiving you," I replied."I have waited for so long just to have this conversation with you and this is how you reply? So brash?"Jakob ran his hands through his hair, which I thought was hot, by the way, but would never admit that to anyone besides Julie, of course. "

Selene's POV. I whistled as I returned home, Smacking my lips in anticipation of telling Jacob the latest news. Logan had forwarded the terms and conditions which I had almost signed but decided to wait for a few hours. Martha came out first with a small smile on her face. "Welcome ma. I was asked to give you this letter.' she announced, making me even smile more. It could be from Meredith. She was the only one who had the time and energy to make me do something quite absurd,I collected the ruffled envelope from Martha, expressing my gratitude softly, which she waved off like it was nothing. True to my thoughts, it was a handwritten note from Meredith. "Hey, I have to quickly stop at Milan before returning to your house. I'm sorry if this comes as a shock to you, but I figured that both of you would be fine, and I have told his parents not to worry. I'm sorry if I caused any misunderstanding between both of you."I raised an eyebrow and looked at Martha, who looked away instantl

Selene's POV. The eerie silence had me jolting up in annoyance. I didn't think that I was going to miss my roommate so much despite not ever being at home anymore. I was preoccupied with so many modeling jobs that I had not realized I was beginning to shed some weight until Martha pointed it out. Damnit. I was beginning to look like a shell of myself and that was me putting it mildly. I looked horrible and was looking for someone who could help out with the horrible situation. "Tell me that you're not missing him despite going out with Logan?" My friend asked over the phone.I didn't say anything but my silence probably did the talking. "Listen, juli, I'm preoccupied with so much work that I sincerely do not have the time for such discussions. Please can we move on to something more productive?"The clinking of beers echoed in the background, telling me that she was on duty. "Do you ever get some rest or you're always working? You're gonna get burnt out one of these days. Why don't

Selene's POV.I smiled as I opened the front door, and dropped my bag on the table, loving the sound of the echo, telling me that I was still alone. I had come to enjoy the silence that came with being at home. My parents had not even reached out to me in the past few weeks, and sometimes I considered texting them just to see what they thought about my marriage, which I didn't know if I felt appreciative of or quite put off. There were so many things for me to consider but I decided to take things one step at a time. It didn't make any sense that I was wasting too much time trying to figure out what exactly the problem was. "Martha?" I called softly. It was weird that she was not around. Her boss was not around to send her on an errand, so why wouldn't she respond on the first call, especially when we had so many things planned out? I moved towards the kitchen, hoping to find her on the board, and was greeted with an empty space. Did she probably leave without thinking it throu

Selene's POV. I stormed out of the house in annoyance, to get answers from Logan.That man was a bastard and my best bet was the fact that he played me into thinking that he was all that. What if I had not confronted Jakob and later found out that he was a player?! I gave the address to my chauffeur tapping my leg in impatience as he drove off. I couldn't wait to confront him to his face and hear his side of the story. Maybe he was probably being misunderstood. He had to know that this was going to cause chaos and that's why he took his sweet time to strike. How could I have been so foolish not to see the signs, especially when he kept on commending me for not being like other women? I didn't place a call to him. I wanted to catch him off guard and it had to be now. We were on our way to Plymouth, taking the South region. I imagined how this scenario was going to play out. Was he going to apologize and say that he found love in me? I call it obsession and trying to ruin what he
