Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 11
Nicklaus POV:I finished my glass of wine and decided to get some work done. I picked up my laptop and continued working on the ongoing project. I looked at Elena with my side eyes, and she avoided my gaze.I could not remember the last time I was ignored, especially by a lady. It had never happened, and I couldn't understand why Elena was avoiding me even though the flight attendant was shooting her shot with me. Who wouldn't want a wealthy and handsome billionaire like myself? I didn't even know if I should be amused by it or mad at her for ignoring me.I focused on my laptop and continued working. I heard some noise, and Elena stirred in her seat. She was acting as if she were uncomfortable, and she kept tossing around in her sleep.That's when I realised that she was truly uncomfortable and needed a proper rest. She must have been very tired and stressed.I loosened my seatbelt and walked up to her, then slowly took off her seatbelt. I gently carried her to the bedroom at the bac

Elena’s POV:I rolled out of bed and followed Nicklaus out of the plane. “Welcome to the Bahamas,” the pilot said. Nicklaus nodded his head. I turned to them and faked a smile, trying to be composed, but I wasn't satisfied with my nap. There was a questioning look on my face. I couldn't believe that we were coming to the Bahamas for our honeymoon, and I never bothered to ask where we were headed on the plane. I hurried to meet up with Nicklaus. “We are in the Bahamas?.” I asked him.He paused and turned to me. “What do you think?” He asked and walked past me. I gave him a daring look. “How rude,” I muttered silently and kissed my teeth.Some SUVs with drivers and bodyguards were already waiting for us on the runway.One of the guards greeted, "Welcome, sir, welcome, ma'am.” He greeted him with his head bowed low. The bodyguards were tall and imposing. They had serious faces and looked intimidating. If I wasn't with Nicklaus, I am sure they wouldn't have given me this much respect.

Elena’s POV:I turned on the hot water in the tub and essential oils to help me relax. Fragrant bubbles started to form. I soaked myself in the water and allowed my muscles to relax. I closed my eyes, exhaled, and let out a deep sigh.After a few minutes, I walked out of the tub and tried a fluffy white towel around my body, feeling softness on my skin. I had to be fast before Nicklaus walked in.I walked to the closet to search for my pyjamas in my box, eager to change into something cosy and go to bed. But as I turned around, I stumbled into something hard.Before I could even process what had happened, Nicklaus placed his hands on my shoulders to steady me. “Are you alright?” he asked, his voice deep.I nodded my head, “Yes, I'm fine.” I replied.He moved his hands to my waist and stared at me for a few seconds. I couldn't look up to him because I was already feeling embarrassed. His body was close to me, and I could feel the heat from his skin. I wondered in my head if he was goi

Nicklaus POV:I lay on the bed, my eyes closed, and I pretended to be asleep, but my heart was beating fast. I couldn't get over the feeling of desire that had been building inside me since I kissed her. She had become my weak point, and it was getting hard for me to control myself. I had planned to do more than that because I desired her and we needed to start our marital duty to produce an heir, but something held me back from touching her. I felt something that I had never felt before. There was a spark, and I felt the heat inside me. I burned for her deep down, and I wished I could have her to myself. The kiss felt different. It wasn't just a normal kiss, like the ones I had shared with other women. I couldn't tell if it was because I was angry that she had another man in mind or if there was a connection. I couldn't help but feel that she had another guy on her mind when I was now married to her. I tried to take the thought off my mind by thinking about something else. My har

Elena’s POV: It's a new day, and of course, it's another day as the wife of Mrs. Nicklaus Coleman.I found myself cuddled up in a soft body, and I felt the softness and warmth of the skin; it was as if I had been holding on to that body all night long. I snuggled deeper into his body without thinking. There is this feeling that I felt in me that I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt safe and protected.I slowly drifted off to sleep again, enjoying the warm body. I hadn't slept this well in a long time, and I could sleep all day.My hands were across, and I was holding him like I never wanted to let go. That's when my breath ceased, and I realised who I was holding. I quickly opened my eyes and pulled away. Nicklaus's eyes were on me the whole time, and he smiled at me. My cheeks reddened, and I was feeling embarrassed. I shifted my gaze from him and looked at the other room.Nicklaus smiled, and his eyes sparkled in the morning sun. He looked so handsome and perfect—like a model.“

Elena’s POV:My jaw dropped, and the words couldn't come out of my mouth. “What? Jealous of what?” I asked, chuckling lightly and trying to shake it off. Nicklaus smiled and bit his lower lips. “Jealous because other ladies would see your husband’s sexy body?” He asked, his voice filled with sarcasm. I scoffed, fixing my gaze back at him. “Why would I be jealous? Does it look like I am jealous?” I asked, crossing my arms on my chest.I walked to sit in the dining room. “Don't think so highly of yourself, Nicklaus,” I said, and immediately I kept mute. I couldn't believe I had just called him by his first name. My eyes fell on his arms. He was putting on a shirt, and he rolled the sleeves. They looked so good, but I managed to drift my eyes away from him to the other side of the room. “Well, other ladies stared at my broad chest from afar, and I could tell they admired me,” he said.“Good for them. You should know you are married, so stop exposing yourself to other ladies. I have a

Elena’s POV:I walked outside to the beach with the breeze caressing my skin and the hot rays from the sun resting on my skin. I could feel the soft sand under my feet as I walked along the shore. This is just what I needed. My space from this whole marriage drama.I moved out of our private spot and found a quiet and open spot that was away from the crowds. I watched the beautiful water as the waves washed over my feet. I sat there, deep in thought. I couldn't help but think about all that I had gone through in three days. My life changed in just one day, and now I have to get used to it for the rest of my life.Now I am stuck with this ruthless billionaire who thinks highly of himself for the rest of my life. I don't know how to deal with this. I have never made any decisions of mine since I was born. I wish I could make my choice before coming into the world; I wouldn't have chosen to be in my family. I have always dreamt of becoming an international chef, breaking the world reco
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 18
Elena’s POV:I didn’t know what I was doing again. All I know is that I have been feeling something very strong for Nicklaus, a strong desire that I couldn't control, and I just allowed myself to live in the moment. I felt a shiver in my limbs as he spoke. “I want you,” I said, leaning closer to him. My eyes moved from his piercing dark eyes down to his lips as he bit them involuntarily.I couldn't deny how I felt at that moment. I wanted to kiss Nicklaus and feel his touch. He just confessed that he wanted it as well. The rain poured heavily on the beach, and the sound was deafening. I leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips without hesitating. Something I never imagined I could do. His lips were so soft and desirable. Nicklaus backed away; his eyes widened, but I placed my hands on his jaw and pulled him close to me. He wrapped his hands around my neck and pressed his lips against me. This time around, the kiss was deeper and more passionate. I could feel every bit of him.I hel

The wedding day.I stood in front of the mirror, smiling broadly as I tilted my head downward and admired the beautiful white wedding dress that glittered under the soft lighting on my body.My dress, a long white mermaid dress, was decorated with white glitter.

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.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 192
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

You haven't fully recovered,”Nicklaus father arrived and was surprised to see Nicklaus leave. “I have to go help Elena. I want to be by her side,” Nicklaus spoke.“I am tired of being told what to do. Please get me out of here.”Mr. Coleman and the nurse agreed; they threw Nicklaus out of the hospital in a wheelchair. 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. He looked around, hoping to see her come out, but she didn't.“Where is Elena?”“She left with Sarah. I am still trying to track her location,” Alex said.

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

I also have my statement, and I felt relieved that he is now guarded. Alex, Zoey, and Jason arrived and stayed with me all night long. Jason had refused to sleep. He played with my father; I watched them as I smiled. They looked so happy. They laughed and joked until they both fell asleep.I had a little sleep on the couch. Zoey and Alex went home to rest. 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.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 187
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.

I slowly opened the door to see Nicklaus up and active, even though he looked pale.He smiled warmly when he set my eyes on me.“How are you doing today?” I asked, leaning to kiss him on the forehead. “You gave us a scare.”“I am doing just fine,” he said, and we kissed again when Sarah opened the door. “So this is what you both had been doing in my back? 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
