Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 109
Elena’s POV:It's been 4 weeks since I had been confined in the house under house arrest. I have been serving my sentence under the watchful eyes of the authorities, according to Nicklaus's father. But that is not the only change that I have been experiencing. That means I am 8 weeks pregnant. With each passing day, I have become aware of the little life that has been growing inside of me. I have added weight, feeling dizzy more often, and constant tiredness. My body is going through a lot of changes, and I can feel it. The pregnancy symptoms are beginning to become noticeable and very hard to ignore, but I try to act normal. I haven't said a word to anybody, not even Zoey or Alex, but Alex has been noticing some changes in me. I tried to act normal so that I could hide it from him. It's getting hard because we see each other every day. I have been pretending to be my normal self. I couldn't bring myself to tell him because I have started growing feelings for Alex, and it is very h

Elena’s POV:I lay in bed all night long feeling excited that there would be a way for me to regain my freedom, but I wasn't happy that my father had taken everything away from me, and I knew fully well that he would refuse to help bail me out.If he helped me out, he would also use me to do his business deals and transactions for the rest of my life, and I am happy I have regained my freedom from him. I can't go back to being used. Now I just need to figure out a way out to bail myself out and get out of this mess.I lay awake in my bed and stirred. I could barely get enough sleep. I have been struggling to fall asleep, but it was very difficult. I couldn't get my mind to stop thinking. I didn't want Alex to help me out with the bail. I do not want to be indebted to anybody. I want my full freedom. To start my life from scratch. That is exactly what I want. I want to be able to stand up for myself and live my dream. Nobody would be able to stop me this time around. I will make sure

It was morning already, but the sun wasn't out yet. Alex got rolled out of bed and did some push-ups and exercises before walking into the bathroom. He got into the shower and had a warm, relaxing bath. It had been a long night, especially with what happened between him and Elena. The whole situation made him feel uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and saw her face. He remembered the kiss and how soft her lips were. She looked so beautiful and innocent. He felt a spark within him and he smiled. He realised that his love for her only increased, and he was ready to take his time with her. He knew that it would be difficult for her, but he was ready to take all the time in the world to wait for her.He got out of the bathroom and dressed in a black suit. His meeting with Mr. Coleman was by 10 o'clock am, and he had to be punctual. He brushed his hair as he watched his reflection in the mirror, smiling and thinking about his meeting with the Coleman’s. He walked to the living room when

Alex’s POV:I drove off to the Coleman Enterprise for the meeting, and I couldn't help but think about Elena on my way. She had previously lost consciousness on the day of her court hearing, and now she is throwing up.I couldn't help but worry about her, and you wanted to know if she was doing alright. She didn't look so good. Could it be the stress of everything that is beginning to affect her? I've been noticing some changes in her.I just hope that she isn't letting everything that is happening get to her. I promise to bring her out of this mess and give her the peace that she deserves. I arrived at the Coleman Enterprise after what felt like forever, and I walked into the building. The guards took me to the upper room in the elevator, where Mr. Coleman’s office is located. I knocked on the door, and it gently opened. I walked into the office with Mr. Coleman. And Mr. John sat as they discussed. “Good day, Mr. Coleman, Mr. John.” I greeted and extended my hands for a firm hands

Sarah’s POV:I was walking downstairs from the mansion, my heels clicking on the floor, when I heard Nicklaus's car pulling into the compound. I glanced out the window and saw him step out of the vehicle, looking very handsome in his black tailored suit. He had to rush to work early in the morning to take care of some business.Even though he had been distant, I felt excited that he had returned home just in time for us to discuss with the event planners and the stylists. Nicklaus’s father, Mr. Coleman, wants us to hasten the wedding preparations so that he can retire and have a good time. And I, Sarah, will be the worst to the richest man in the world. I wondered to myself, and I walked to greet Nicklaus. The wedding is in two days, and I have never been this excited all my life. It felt like a dream come true, and everything is already aligning in my favour.I approached him, “Welcome back, honey; you came just in time.” I spoke and walked to him. I gently kissed him on the lips,

Nicklaus’s POV:“Mr. Nicklaus Coleman, Elena has been granted bail.” Mr. John spoke on the other side of the line.I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean?” I asked.“Your father had removed the charges he pressed against Elena with a bail of five hundred thousand dollars,” he spoke. I quickly stormed out of the herd when Mr. John called to explain the whole process to me. I could not believe that my father allowed the court to grant bail to Elena when he should have just removed the charges that he pressed against her. I got into my car and zoomed off to my father's house. I needed to see him face-to-face and have a word with him. I need a clear explanation of what happened, and I also need to know why Elena’s lawyer requested that she be set free on bail.After a short drive, I arrived at my father’s mansion. I quickly got out of my car and walked into my father's study. He was sitting in his study smoking a stick of cigarettes. “Why did you storm into my study like that, Nicklay

Elena’s POV:Alex reluctantly moved from the doorway, and my eyes fell on Nicklaus standing outside. His eyes met mine, and they locked in his gaze. I didn't want to look at him, but I couldn't control my wondering eyes. I chocked. “Hey! Elena. Are you alright?” Immediately Alex calmed me down, and he reached for my hand. I took in a deep breath and composed myself. Nicklaus took a step forward to offer a helping hand when I stopped him by raising my hands. “I'm fine,” I said.I stood straight and decided to face him. This time around, I won't be so timid again. I want to be bold. I have regained my freedom, and I have the right to stand up to whom I wish to stand up to.I gave him a daring look as my blood was boiling inside of me. “What are you doing here?” I asked. Nicklaus didn't say a word; instead, he took another step further closer to me, and I stopped him. “Answer my question, what are you doing here?” I asked.“Elena, can we talk?” He asked gently. “There is nothing t

Alex stopped in his tracks, and his eyes were on Elena. He didn't know what to say, and they both stared at each other in silence. His heart skipped as soon as possible as he remembered what Elena had just announced. “How long have you kept this from me, Elena?” He asked, taking a step forward and fixing his gaze on her. He wanted answers. He had been spending time with Elena, and he had never paid attention to such before, and she didn't even announce it to him.Elena sobbed, and she fixed her eyes on the floor. “For a couple of weeks,” she announced. Her voice trembled heavily as she sniffed. His heart slammed hard against his chest. It felt as if it had been pierced with a knife. “Fuck,” Alex muttered under his breath. “Who else knows about it? Does Zoey know about it?”Elena shook her head tirelessly, “Nobody knows. Not Zoey, not Nicklaus, and it should be that way,” she spoke and walked over to the couch. She collapsed on the couch.Alex took in a deep breath and walked toward

Elena’s POV:Its been a few weeks, my biological father had been buried of course without my step sister and my step mother. They had been on the run and nobody knew where they both were. Amelia had been our responsibility. I stood in the window and stayed at the whole city in my black dress. I had been mourning all day.I wished I spend a lot of time with my father. I wish I fekt his presence in my life. After a while, Anna joined me and she held my hands gently. “Williams, your father was a good man. You shouldn't blame him for what happened. He was blindfolded. Please. Find a place in your heart to forgive him,” she spoke.She exhaled deeply and continued, “I also need you to forgive me Elena even though I knew that I shouldn't have gave you up but I couldn't give you the life that you needed. I wanted you to have everything in the world. I was dying in poverty. You were sick Elena. That was the only way I could restore your health,” she explained and tears rolled down her eyes.

Elena’s POV:I knew that I could keep concealing the truth fromNicklaus. It had already been confirmed. Nicklaus had the right to know. This is the best time to let him know. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I was not able to control them. "Yes, Nicklaus, Jason is your son,” I confessed, my voice cracking hard. Nicklaus was stunned, and he looked at me deeply in the eyes. “Why? Why did you keep it away from me? After all these years,” he asked, tears streaming down his face. I crossed my arms across my chest and sniffed, “Well, yes. I had to protect my son. I had to protect you from people like Sarah. You abandoned me. What would you have me for Nicklaus?” I spoke as he continued to sob.Tears rolled Nicklaus’s eyes, and he became emotional. He quickly found a spot to sit in so that he would catch his breath.“I had the right to know about it, Elena. Why did you keep such from me?” he asked.“I...” I began to stutter. I didn't know where to begin or what to say. I was in so much pa

Nicklaus’s POV: My eyes widened, and I was stunned. That was when I knew that something was fishy. I checked the birthmark and mine, and it was exactly the same and in the same position.“This has got to be a joke,” I muttered silently. “Could it be? Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked, but I shook my head and tried to brush it off. My blood and his blood were compatible. He is 5 years old. The exact time Elena and I divorced.Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked myself the question repeatedly all night long. I didn't even get enough sleep. I remembered how he would smile at me. His eyes and his smile were similar to mine. His black curly hair. Noe, everything is beginning to make sense.If Jason is my child, why did Elena decide to keep it away from me? I kept wondering. I couldn't wait for the day to break so that I would confront Elena.Everything is beginning to reveal itself. I have to get to the root of this. I watched as Jason slept, and I made sure that he was

They got into the car, and after what felt like forever, they arrived at the penthouse.“Nicklaus walked in to see Zoey and Alex pacing around without Elena.

I blinked my eyes open to see myself on the hospital bed. “Where is my baby?” I asked.“You have to calm down, Elena. The police are everywhere searching for Wave right now. We will get a positive reply in no time,” he said calmly. I shook my head and struggled with him to leave my hand as I got out of bed. “No, I can't sit here while my son is taken away from me; I have to find him. I am sure Sarah took my child,” I shouted.Nicklaus and Sam walked up to me and said, "Please Elena. Let's get home and wait for the authorities. You have to trust me on this, I assure you. We will find your son,” Nicklaus spoke, and I became calm instantly.“How can I go home when my boy is missing?” I cried out.I held onto Nicklaus, and my head rested on his chest as I sobbed. “I want my boy,” I cried out.Nicklaus stroked his hands through my hair. “He will be found; you have to trust me,” he spoke. “I don't want to go home. I want to wait here. I know Sarah will come back here,” I said. “It's fin

It was morning, and I blinked, my eyes opened. The police stopped by my father’s ward as they searched for Sarah. She had been on the run since last night, and we have not heard from her. When my father woke up to hear the news of Sarah’s crimes and her disappearance last night, he became weak. I noticed his mood, and I tried to cheer him on. I walked up to him, “Who was that?” he asked.I exhaled deeply, “Father, it's the police. Unfortunately, Sarah is wanted,” I spoke.

Sarah‘s POV:I ran out of the hospital as fast as I could before the security would catch up with me. I got into my car and zoomed off. I was breathing very hard as I drove with tears in my eyes.Elena really hurt me, and blood was coming out of my lips. She punched me really hard. I drank off as I wiped my lips. I wish I had completed my mission in killing Nicklaus. I planned to run away with his money and go far away. It would have been a silent deal, and he would have shut up for like. But right now, I am in trouble. He would not keep quiet. He would expose me and tell the world everything that he had found out.I have to go far away. Very far away, where nobody would be able to find me. I will make sure I execute my plans there. After what felt like forever, I arrived at the house and broke into Nicklaus safe.

You are a social climber, Elena. “Sarah, not now. I had already signed the divorce papers. You have to play your own part,” Nicklaus spoke.She walked up to me and gave me a daring look. “You are a scumbag,” she spoke and turned to Nicklaus. “I will make sure you pay for it,” she warned and walked out of the room.“I have to go be with my dad right now. I will see you later,” I said and walked out of the room. I walked to my father’s room to see my father lying weakly on the bed. I ran to him, “Fat
