Chapter 107

Nicklaus’s POV:

I arrived at the house with my blood boiling through my veins. I angrily changed into a black suit without looking at my reflection in the mirror and I grabbed my suitcase. I walked back to my car and zoomed off to work.

After a short drive, I got to my office with an angry face. All of my workers greeted me, but I didn't respond. I have been boiling since I left Alex’s penthouse. I can't believe that Elena would live with a man after coming out of her cell, and the worst of it is that she is under house arrest, which means they will be with each other all the time.

That is more than enough reason to fall in love with him.

My bodyguards followed me from behind and waited at the door as I got into my office, slamming the door behind me. I removed my jacket, and I sat on my chair, and my personal assistant walked inside with me.

“Sir, you have a meeting with the board members by noon, and also your father will be in attendance,” he spoke. His voice trembled; I could tell that he was scared seeing me in such a mood.

Without saying a word, I shifted my gaze from him to my laptop screen and turned it on.

“Excuse me, sir,” he spoke and walked off the office.

I focused on the new work project, and I tried my best to get my mind off Elena. I tried my best not to think about her but I couldn't. It was getting harder with each passing minute.

I couldn't get over how Alex embarrassed me today and threatened me even with my wealth and power. How dare he threaten a billionaire like me?

I will make sure he pays for it. I am fully aware that Elena was in the house when I came knocking, and I know that they are together right now. What could they be doing right now? Is he giving Hera a shoulder to lean on?

I brought out a stick of cigarettes and lit it. I dragged it and puffed it in the air as I turned around and watched the Skyview window in my office. My mind was still replaying the events that happened this morning.

I narrowed my eyes and smirked a little.

“Alex, you just played with fire. I will make you pay dearly,” I muttered silently to myself. My voice was deep.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and my personal assistant walked into my voice as she swung the door open.

“Sir, your meeting starts right now in the conference room,” he spoke gently.

I glanced at my watch, and it was ready at noon. So I stood up from my chair, put on my jacket, and held my laptop in my hand.

I walked out of the office with my personal assistant and my secretary following me from behind. I walked into the conference room to see that all of the board members were seated, including my father.

“Good day everyone,” I greeted, and the meeting began.

We discussed the new project and how to make it a success within a short period of time. They all seemed impressed with the blueprints.

After the meeting, I was alone with my father in the conference room.

“Nicklaus,” he called me; his voice was firm.

I looked at him. "Yes, father,” I answered.

“It would be best for us to fix the wedding between you and Sarah this week. She is pregnant, and you don't want the whole world to start talking before you get married to her,” he said.

I exhaled deeply and sat in one of the chairs. “Do father, are you insinuating that we get married this weekend?” I asked.

“Yes, I am. I am getting tired of handling all of these businesses. At my age, I need to be relaxing and enjoying my retirement.” he spoke

I rolled my eyes and relaxed on the chair. “After your marriage with Sarah, I don't need to wait for her to give birth anymore. I will pass down the rest of my enterprises to you,” he spoke.

My mood lit up immediately, and I sat upright. “Father, really? Do you mean it?” I asked.

He nodded his head with a gentle smile. "Yes, I do,” he spoke.

“That means I will break the internet sooner than expected as the richest man in the whole world,” I spoke to him, and he gave me a wide grin.
