Forced To Marry The Crippled Billionaire

SELENE“The son of the CEO of Kensington group of companies was involved in a fatal–”I looked up from my phone at the sound of the TV switching off. All day every single news outlet carried the story of Jakob Kensington who had managed to get into a fatal accident. It was beginning to get annoying how much it was repeated but he seemed like a big deal so it was understandable. “I'm so tired of hearing about that accident. I mean, who the fuck strays into the path of a truck? I bet he was drunk.” Julia said from her seat, as she flipped through channels, looking for something that would suit her taste. “You can't judge until you know what happened, Jules,” I said, returning my attention to my phone. She just grunted in response and I left her to it. She was right though, every news outlet carried the story of the accident. It was a field day or in this case, days for them. The accident happened three days prior and there had been no news of him ever since. “Selene?” Julia called

Jakob’s POVMy head pounded and I groaned as I opened my eyes. The pain was excruciating and I almost blacked out just from the sheer intensity of it. “You're finally awake.” I heard a voice said I groaned for a different reason. Of course, my father had to be there when I woke up. My brain provided information of what had happened in a flash. The drinking. The argument with Daniel. Driving. And finally, the accident. It had been irresponsible of me to drive while being drunk I was sure my father being here was a punishment for that. “Father.” My voice didn't sound at all like mine. It sounded as though it had been sandpapered and then passed through gravel. I managed to open my eyes despite the blinding light that only reminded me of the truck that had rammed into me. I briefly wondered what had happened to the driver of the truck and hoped they didn't get in trouble for what was my fault. “Careful.” Another voice interjected as I tried to lift myself up. That was when I realiz

Selene's POV.I took a deep breath immediately after leaving Jakob's presence. That man was distinct in his approach to grating on my nerves and not even feeling the darndest remorse about it. How did somebody be in a wheelchair and still be as pompous as anything? I would have even thought that he would be remorseful, but no, that wasn't the case here. He felt like he was on top of the world and I was just a peasant. I picked up my phone to call my friend. This was getting overwhelming, but I later dropped it because I didn't want to expose everything I was going through to an outsider. What were my parents even thinking? Hooking me up with a total stranger just to get their company on the top of the chart! I had only watched this in movies, but now it was finally playing out before my very eyes, and I didn't even have anything to say to them besides just watching as they ruled my life with an iron fist. I would never have imagined that I would be in such a situation, and it was o

Selene's POV. I woke up the next day with a small smile on my face. I had managed to shut Jacob up and felt so good about it. Whether or not he was angry with me was his business because I didn't have any grudges against him. He was the one with various ideas that didn't make any sense, no matter how much he tried to make them work. I headed downstairs and saw him sitting at the dining table with a laptop in front of him. I smacked my lips, announcing my presence, but this stubborn man refused to act like he saw me. "Good morning Jakob." "There is nothing good about the morning." He responded sharply. If I wasn't careful he would have bitten my head off. I guess he woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I glanced around pretending not to also see him, before raising my brows. "Where is Martha?" "Gone." I blinked in confusion. "What do you mean gone? She was alive last night, what suddenly happened?" "How dumb can you be?" He responded sharply again and I rolled my

Selene's POV. "Urgh, my head hurts like hell. I don't even know why I..." Lily complained immediately after she woke up, and I found myself rolling my eyes. She jumped up immediately after she spotted me, or rather immediately after I opened the windows. She wasn't supposed to be here and have me babysitting her when she was an adult in her right and responsible for her actions, but I guess this was what I had signed up for, and I didn't have any right to complain about anything. "You should be happy that I made it a point of duty to take you home last night because you decided to be a pain in my life, and right now, I don't know what to do." I retorted not giving her breathing space at all. If I did that then it was a license for her to continue living recklessly."Selene?" "Were you expecting someone else?" I responded and folded my arms about to launch into scolding her properly. She didn't reply. Instead, she kept on staring at me, probably hoping that I turned into someone e
