Chapter 113

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, and he held me on the waist.

I smiled, feeling like the luckiest woman on earth. “The event planners and stylists are here to discuss the final details. We have to finalise everything today since we are getting married in two days' time. Everything has to be perfect, and the talk of the town,” I spoke, feeling so excited.

I held Nicklaus's arms, but he seemed to keep a straight face. We both walked in and sat in the lounge and sat among everybody. The teams were already seated together with my mother, and we all discussed the wedding. The room was filled with excitement as we discussed the details of the designs.

I grinned from ear to ear. My smile never left my face as I listened to the proposal and ideas. I was so excited to be planning my dream wedding. “I want this wedding to be the talk of the town. I want the most beautiful outfit for me and my husband. I want custom outfits that have not been styled or worn by anybody.” I declared.

“It should be an all-white wedding theme. The cake should be superb, and the meals should be out of this world. It should be remembered for years to come.” I described everything perfectly. From the colour and flower arrangement to the music playlist.

They listened attentively as I gave my instructions while nodding their heads. I had been feeling very stressed out, but my mother and Nicklaus had been helping out. I felt really supported and relieved.

I know how important this child is to Nicklaus, and I always do what the doctor says and have my rest.

“We will make sure everything is perfect, Sarah, my child. You deserve the wedding of your dreams,” my mother spoke as her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Nicklaus and I sat in the garden as we discussed the wedding plans. He looked so busy and carried away with something else, so I focused on the event planner. We talked about how they are going to beautify the garden, the big cake, and everything. I walked around. I was so excited.

After some time, Nicklaus, phone buzzed, and he reached for his pocket to take his phone. He walked to the flowers and answered a call in a low tone. I glanced at him as he spoke.

“Yes, what is the matter?” he asked.

At first, he was nodding his head as he spoke in a calm manner, and I could tell that he was discussing business.

After some time, his facial expression hardened, and he was speaking in a serious tone.

His eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched. I could tell that he was discussing something serious. He ended the call and walked out of the garden immediately. I was stunned and confused to see him leave.

Where was he going to? Why did he leave without saying a word? I wondered if everything was okay.

I got distracted by the arrangements I had been planning with the event planner, Alison; she noticed everything but tried to keep a straight face.

I just smiled a little and started conversing with her as I tried to hide the embarrassment and shame. Why would Nicklaus leave me in that manner? I hope he isn't running to Elena. I just hope it's work-related.
