All Chapters of Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jakob's POV. Next morningI came out of my room for breakfast. I was already getting hungry and couldn't bear the hunger anymore. I decided to call Martha but she was nowhere to be found. Luckily, Brenda was on her way to my room, so we almost collided. She shot me a sheepish smile. "I'm so sorry sir. If I had known, I would never have come in contact with you." She apologized, bowing her head. I waved her apologies off. I didn't care for them as long as I was fed. I didn't want to waste my time discussing issues that were not profitable, to say the least. I had more pressing issues to attend to. "Where is Selene?" "I don't know anything about that, sir. I thought she was in her room. Did she go anywhere?" She asked stupidly. I didn't want to unleash my anger on her for she was not the cause of my problems. It would be wrong for me to do so. "Right. Check her in the room and give me feedback. I want to have a word with her." I explained to her, tapping my feet impatiently.I w

Selene's POVThe scratchy ropes digging into my wrists held me in place, so every move I made caused pain. I struggled against them, shifting, but there was no give. I was stuck, helpless. Logan stood casually in front of me, leaning against the wall with that smirk on his face that churned my stomach. I hated him. No, more than that, I was scared. Terrified, actually."You think you're some kind of hero, huh?" His voice was mocking, reeking of venom. "Just take a look at yourself, bound like some kind of criminal. And if you want to hear something sweet today, you can and will never be free." His grin was terrifying as much as his smirk was.He leaned away from the wall and paced about the little spade left in the room, his eyes fixed menacingly on me. "You thought you could stop me. Show me I'm not as powerful as I think I am. But look at you now." Closer, he stepped, his movements circling me like some predator. "You're nothing, Selene. You always were. You are going to regret ev

Search for LoganJakob's POVLogan was gone. There one minute; gone the next. Not part of our lives; not there, period. He had disappeared as if the sun had suddenly dived behind an eclipse of sorts. I found myself looking at the clouded sky with foreboding lurking within my steps. All along, I thought, Where might he be? All they kept saying was that he was out of the country, but I knew well enough that's not where he's at. After Sean checked all the airlines, no one could confirm that he'd left. So where the hell was he?My mind turned to Selene, and I couldn't help but imagine what trouble she could be in. And then there were her parents.I was aware of how they would look at me. After all, everything that had happened to Logan-well, I felt some guilt for part of it. I knew how much they adored Selene, and seeing their daughter in this kind of situation must have been devastating.How could they let me take their trust again? Was I the one they would send to prison? I wasn't sure

Jakob's POV My phone was vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and didn't recognize the number calling. Something in my gut debated answering for half a second. Then that little something in the pit of my stomach yelled out loud and clear, Do it. I swiped my finger across the screen and hit the phone to my ear.Hello?" I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. Already my heart was pounding, and I didn't have any idea why."Jakob…" A soft, shaking voice came through, and my heart stopped."Selene?" I asked, almost unbelieving. "Is it really you? Ohh my goodness, how are you doing; I have been worried sick about you.She sounded breathless, as though in a rush, but I could feel the relief in her voice. "Yes. Jakob, I need your help. I… I've been kidnapped by Logan."Those words struck me like a blow in the gut. Something had smelled wrong, but to hear her say it. was even worse than I could have imagined. My hands grasped the phone harder, my pulse quickening.Where is Selene, wh

Selene’s POV. I pulled away from him sharply with my heart pounding in my chest. It felt as if it was a scene out of a movie, only that this was real. Everything I felt was raw, and completely unexpected."Why didn’t you sue Logan?" I spoke out, the question coming out before I even had the chance to stop myself.Jakob froze for a second, his face hardening just a little bit, but then his expression softened, and I could see the uncertainty in his eyes. "It’s not that simple, Selene," he said slowly, his voice low, almost as if he didn’t want to talk. "I can’t just go around accusing people without proof. You know how it is."I stared at him, confused in my mind. "But you know what he did to you, Jakob. You know what he took from you." I wasn’t just talking about the betrayal, but the years of all the pain that came with it. Logan had cost him more than anyone could understand."I know," Jakob said, running a hand through his hair, his eyes staring at something far off. "But it’s not
