All Chapters of Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Jakob's POVThose days, when every hour passing felt so much like forever, so dense and so long. I sat with my chair against the window, lost to my thoughts, when he came in as the door opened.Sean burst in, a radiant smile all over his face, and greeted: "Hey, man, how is the patient today?" Then he slapped his hand on my shoulder, naturally buoyant to bounce into the room.I forced a frail smile at him, but before I could utter anything, the door burst open, and Selene stepped inside."Hey," she said-perhaps her voice was soft, but I could feel the exhaustion in it; she had overburdened herself since she always asked if I was okay.The moment he saw her, his face fell. I did, too-the guilt, the realization that perhaps we had pushed her too hard. He could tell how worn out she was, how much she had been carrying, and it hit him hard. I couldn't blame him for feeling that way. I knew I had been no help, and she had been doing everything on her own.Selene didn't say anything. She

Jakob's POVThis had been a weird feeling waiting for Mia. I had said that I would meet her, but as the day approached, a sense of nervousness ascended. I didn't have a single idea how to behave or what to say. My head was on one of those cycle rides of questions, half of me too scared to ask. What if she suspected I didn't trust her? That I was only questioning her because I was still trying to figure out whether she was real?That is the truth-I did not know what I felt. I did not know whether to be happy that she was back or be confused by how to handle everything, having been so long since I saw her standing in front of me alive, breathing just like she used to. Yet again, there was so much that was not known, and many questions remain unanswered.She finally came through the door, and I was surprised to feel how nervous I was. I hadn't anticipated it. There Mia stood, like nothing was different, but all was. Now I was sitting in a wheelchair, and she was standing-healthy and

Jakob's POVI just couldn't sit around and do nothing. I had to take immediate action, so I called her parents straight away. They had to know, and maybe they could help me find her. I did not want things to get out of hand nor did they think that I wasn't doing enough. Her parents always had their opinions, and I knew they wouldn't take kindly to me not handling things properly.The response came in hoarse voices; their tone seemed to reflect alarm. "Jakob, where is our daughter? We have not seen her for quite some time now," her father grumbled over the line. "You better return her whole, or face all the full forces of our outrage."A wave of guilt hit me. How did things ever get this bad? Gone, and because of me-Selene's disappearance was now my fault, having allowed everything to deteriorate this far, now trying to pick up the pieces. And to make things worse, I couldn't even tell them the truth-I have no idea where she is, and it really feels like I am losing her for good."S

Jakob's POV. "Things have not been the same again without you in my life and you of all people know this. I didn't know that it was going to be as bad as this and that's why I'm here without even caring about what this might seem like." "I know I'm probably the last person that you want to have a conversation with but how do we move on from this? Is there a way we can find a remedy? I mean I just want to focus on the things that matter and not things that do not. I know that I am probably the worst person that you want to talk to right now but, I still feel like we can work things out." I said, ignoring the fact that she looked like she was about to Stone me in the face. I might be a lot of things but naive and being heartless isn't one of my strongest suits. I kept on staring at her for a while not knowing what to do next. The fact that she wanted to be on her own didn't give me the license to treat her badly."Now that you have realized that I'm not going to always be here to run

Selene's POV. I paced around my room as Julie's cell phone kept on ringing. "Pick up." I mutter to myself hoping that she instantly does and then I am able to tell her everything I feel.This was bad. I wasn't supposed to be caught in a mix of love triangles. This wasn't supposed to be happening to someone like me especially after I had been dealt with a heavy hand. Was I going to listen to sound correction? Of course not, I believed that everything was going on smoothly but I didn't know why it was taking me so long just to get rid of the emotions coursing through me. When would I ever learn how to separate my feelings from being with a man? I was supposed to have understood the handwriting on the wall but here I was still feeling like a fool.Jakob was probably laughing at me in his room and I still remained foolish. What if he tells Mia? That lady would mock me for eternity. Luckily, Julie picked up after so many rings. "Where have you been? I have been trying to call you the e
