Do you think Natalie will forgive him and accept him back by giving him a second chance. Find out.

Chapter 1 01

(Natalie's POV)

I watched my husband, Franklin Howard, laughing so hard with my elder sister, Amelia Jackson, in the living room.

What pained me the most was the way he got along with her.

Franklin had never laughed like this with me before, and here he was, laughing loudly with my elder sister in the living room.

Amelia Jackson was my elder sister. We had the same father but different mothers.

My mother was a mistress to my father, and because I was the unwanted child, my family didn't like me.

I had three older brothers: James, Asher, and Felix. All doting on Amelia.

Amelia and I were the same age, but she was only a month older than me, which made her my elder sister.

We were both fair-skinned, but while she was tall, I was short and chubby.

Franklin is a billionaire in this city, and he never liked me, his wife.

It was a mistake that led to Franklin's and my marriage-a mistake that I shouldn't have accepted.

Three years ago, my father and Franklin's father were best friends. My father had a business party at home and invited a lot of tycoons.

One thing led to another, and Franklin and I were caught in my room.

I knew Amelia was the one who set us up, but no one believed me. Even Franklin didn't believe me. He felt I was the one who drugged him and lured him to my room so that he would sleep with me.

We were forced to become a couple to hide the embarrassment, as Franklin's family was also disappointed. Everyone knew I was my father's illegitimate daughter, and they wondered why my father had kept me instead of kicking me out and allowing Amelia to marry Franklin.

After my wedding with Franklin, I discovered Amelia had a hidden crush on him. She regretted drugging my drink, which was what I had served Franklin when he came to speak to me on that eventful night.

A lot of invitees had come with their adult children, but none of them came to speak to me.

I was already twenty-two years old then-naive-and with Franklin and me caught in a compromising position on the bed, we got married while Amelia wept that Franklin was supposed to be her husband.

Franklin didn't like me. After that night, we didn't sleep with each other, and I didn't conceive, even though it was my first time.

We were living like neighbors who hated each other, and now that Amelia had graduated, Franklin wanted to divorce me to marry her.

How shameless of a sister to want to date her younger sister's husband!

Amelia is so shameless. Franklin is five years older than me, so as I'm twenty-five years old now, he's thirty years old.

I watched as Franklin, wearing a white singlet that revealed his masculine abs because he loved to go to the gym, was fair-skinned and more handsome than any other man I had seen.

His skin glittered like the sun, and I saw the way Amelia was drooling over him.

Franklin is very tall. His arms are bigger, and likewise his thighs. I'm not even up to his chest; I'm a shorty, although I have an hourglass shape. Franklin doesn't find me attractive in any way.

"How were your studies, Amy?" I heard Franklin asking Amelia. He had switched from calling her Amelia to Amy, her short abbreviated name.

Amelia blushed as she picked up the glass cup that Franklin had refilled, while I sat at the dining table setting up our dinner.

We have no maid at home, simply because Franklin mandated that I wouldn't be going to work since I didn't have any meaningful certificate.

As the illegitimate child of my parents, I didn't further my education, and I was forced by my stepmother to learn tailoring, while Amelia went to the university and became a certified accountant.

I wasn't even allowed to sew, as Franklin felt it was a useless profession to become a fashion designer.

He calls me ugly and says that I'm not fashionable.

He doesn't like to take me out to hang out with his friends, nor does he give me money for upkeep.

I only managed to get money for my upkeep when he gave me money to restock the house with foodstuffs. Only then did I manage to see money to save for my personal use.

"It was fine, Frankie," Amelia said. I hated how Amelia and my husband were calling each other pet names.

This was my matrimonial home, and Franklin only called me "Natalie!"

In short, he shouted my name with so much rage, like he didn't want to see me.

"Natalie! Is dinner ready?" Franklin asked me, just as he settled across from Amelia on the next black couch in our exquisite living room.

I was through preparing the delicious African delicacy of pounded yam and vegetable soup.

I looked at the food that I had prepared and at my husband and my half-sister.

"Natalie! I am talking to you!" Franklin shouted at me again.

"Hmm, no food for you both," I replied and covered the food that I had already served.

Firstly, I didn't invite Amelia to my home, nor will I serve her any food. She should get out and return to our father's house and look for her own husband to call pet names with.

Franklin immediately rose from the couch and dashed up to me.

"Where are you taking the tray of food? Have you lost your mind?" Franklin slapped me as he approached and collected the tray from my hand.

I looked at him irritably, and at Amelia, who smiled and rolled her eyes, as I knew her target. She wanted to take my husband.

She sent me a text message the previous month, telling me that she was coming back to collect everything that I had stolen from her, including my husband.

"Franklin, why did you slap me? I cooked this food, and you cannot eat it."

"Why? Didn't I give you the money you used to prepare the meal? Did you work for the money? Move away and get me a bowl of water to wash my hands, and don't think that I will apologize to you because of the slap. Come, Amy, don't mind your sister. That's how silly she behaves," Franklin called out to Amelia, and I watched as she seductively stood up from the couch in her brown dress that made her look like a model, as the brown dress accentuated her hips and bosom.

Amelia walked up to the dining table, and I stood there watching as Franklin served her the delicious plate of pounded yam and vegetable soup that I had suffered and cooked.

I know Amelia was my sister, and I wasn't supposed to be jealous, but Franklin has never served me any food before, not to mention the one that I cooked myself.

Franklin also saw that I didn't serve any bowl of water, and he went to the kitchen by himself and brought a bowl of water for Amelia to wash her hands.

He sat across from Amelia, and she was blushing, not caring to ask me to join them in eating.

"Franklin!" I shouted and walked toward the plate of soup that I served out for myself, as that was the portion that Franklin had served for Amelia as her own plate of soup to eat.

"What's wrong with you, Natalie? Should we leave this food for you to eat? Come, Amy, let's go out to get something more palatable to eat," Franklin said, standing up from the dining table, and I hated it whenever I suffered to cook and my husband would have to go out of our matrimonial home to eat.

"Franklin!" I tried to stop him, and he warned, "Stay away from me, Natalie. Just go and eat your food since you don't want your sister and me to eat it. Who knows if you have poisoned it."

"What?!" I frowned as Franklin's words broke my heart. He quickly took the stairs in the living room and dashed upstairs to his bedroom.

Yes, Franklin and I have different bedrooms. I looked back at Amelia and shouted at her, "You shameless slut! Aren't you ashamed to be dating your sister's husband? As beautiful as you are, can't you use your beauty to look for your own husband!" I cursed at Amelia, and she hissed.

"Get out of my house!" I was enraged and remembering that Amelia and her three brothers never liked me. They mostly mistreated me, and while I had thought that getting married, I would have my own happiness and family, yet this very same family that doesn't want my happiness wouldn't let me be.

As I rushed to push Amelia out of the house, she fell down and pretended to be hurt.
