Sarah’s POV:
“The target is out of the mansion."
I sat on the bed after having dinner. I was sipping non-alcoholic wine. I let out a satisfied sigh and sat on my bed.
I knew the black wolf was already on the lookout for Marina. She had been acting nervous since she discovered that I found out about the recorder.
She is going to find out about it tomorrow. She won't live to testify. Just when I was lost in thought, my phone buzzed.
“We found her,” it read.
It was a message from a black wolf. I met out with a sly and calculating smile.
“Good work. See you tomorrow,” I texted back and dropped my phone on the bedside.
I turned off the light and went straight to sleep, feeling satisfied and happy that everything was working in my favour.
With time, I will get Nicklaus to love me, and he would not be able to do without me.

The next morning, I woke up feeling happy and a little tired. I had been feeling nauseous lately and gained some weight.
The symptoms of pregnancy were beginning to take over. I had been feeling bloated and tired no matter how long I slept.
“Pregnancy does look good on me,” I muttered and walked to the mirror to stare at my reflection.
“Irina,” I called.
She walked into the room after a few minutes. “Prepare my bath,”
Right away, ma'am,” she responded and walked into the bathroom. Irina prepared a wonderful bath with essential oils in the water.
“This smells great; you should do this for me every day,” I said and loosened my robe. I sat in the water and allowed my muscles to relax.
I closed my eyes and let the water soak my skin as I drank warm water. After having my bath, I turned off and walked into the closet.
After doing my skin routine, I changed into a white short dress and a white long coat. I lacked my hair in a sleek bun and slipped in stiletto heels.
I had breakfast with Nicklausbin in silence. None of us said a word to each other, but I felt angry that he had not been giving me much attention. I just watched him in silence. The way his eyes sparkled and the beautiful tiny birthmark on his neck.
Nicklaus finished his meal and left for the office while I got into my car and zoomed off to the street of New York for some unfinished business.
After a long drive, I arrived at a warehouse in the woods. Black Wolf's men stood outside the vicinity, guarding the surroundings.
I got out of the car and put on my glasses. I hurriedly matched into the building with his guards opening the door and guiding me through the rooms.
A black wolf walked up to me and pecked me on the cheeks. “You came just in time, my lady,” he spoke;
“Have you taken care of my ex-boyfriend?” I asked, and the black wolf nodded his head.
“He was the first target. You have nothing to worry about,” he said.
“Where is that betrayal?” I asked, and my voice was sharp and firm as I scanned the room.
Black Wolf led the way, and I walked into a dark room with Marina standing and sitting on a chair with her hands tied to the back and her eyes blindfolded.
I walked you to her, “Take off her blindfolded.” I ordered one of the guards to do that.
Immediately he loosened it; Marina’s eyes fell on me, and our eyes locked. I could see the shock in her eyes, and her lips were slightly parted.
I gave her a cold look with a little smile tugging at the corners of my lips.
“You thought you could run away after threatening me, Marina,” I spoke and walked around her in a circular motion.
“You don't know that you are never to mess with Sarah. I never knew you could be this smart to pull such a stunt and make me so restless.” I laughed dryly.
I leaned in close to her and gave her a stern look. “What gave you so much courage? Answer me.” I asked, my voice raising. My eyes were filled with rage, and I took off my glasses.
Marina didn't say a word. She closed her eyes and couldn't bear looking at me in the eyes.
I raised my hand and put her on the cheek. “When I am speaking to you, you respond to me, you bitch.” I spat
Tears rolled down Marina’s cheeks, and she pleaded with me, “Please forgive me. I didn't mean any harm,” she spoke.
“But you sprained my ankle after collecting thousands of dollars from me.” I cut her off and raised my hand to hit her in the face again.
I exhaled loudly and stood upright. “I don't have time for this.” I spoke and brought out my pistol from my pocket. Without saying a word and not listening to Marina’s pleading, I turned on the safety.
“Say your last prayer. In your next world, do not be a snitch.” I spoke, and I pulled the trigger.
“See you in hell, bitch. Nobody messes with Sarah and goes free,” I spat.
Elena’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning because of my constant nightmares. My mind still replayed the nightmares in my head.For two days now I have been contemplating whether to open up and tell Nicklaus about my pregnancy since he is the father of my baby. He abandoned me without thinking twice about it. He signed the divorce papers and forced me to sign them.I lay on the bed and tossed around. I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling. I thought about the whole thing. I wanted to keep this pregnancy a secret because I did not want anything to hinder my plans. I had been planning to go far away and start my life. To have a fresh start. Away from everybody, but I didn't even know where to start, but the idea of going away and starting over again had been my dream.I was happy last night because the waiter released a statement at the court and claimed that the allegations against me that caused my miscarriage were false. This made me a little proud of myself. At least I g
Elena’s POV:My heart skipped a beat, and my legs became very heavy. “No,” I muttered silently to myself. My mind struggled to process what I had just seen. It felt unbelievable. My breathing increased rapidly, and I could feel my breath cease. Irina caught up with me and stopped in her tracks when she noticed that I had seen it all. She had a long face on, and I could also see tears gathering in her eyes. “Maam,” she called out; her voice was low and filled with worry. I turned around to see a worried look on her face. But I couldn't speak, I couldn't think, and I couldn't respond. All I could think of was turning around and running out of the premises. I didn't stop in my tracks until I was out of the gate. I gasped for air, and my chest was rising and falling. My vision was blurry, and tears filled my eyes. I didn't even know what to do. I stood by the road, stretching my hands to stop a taxi. I didn't know where to go; all I knew was that to get out of the house, out of Nickla
Sarah’s POV: I walked down the aisle in my beautiful white wedding dress. The stunning lace and crystals glittered in the light. My father held my arms beside him; he was filled with pride as he escorted me to my future husband. I couldn't stop smiling. I was grinning ear to ear, and all eyes were on me. I enjoyed the excitement and joy of the moment. It made me feel like a princess in a fairy tale and the centre of attraction. I love that I was the center of attraction and all eyes were on me and Nicklaus. Everybody admired me as I walked to the alter. The guest stood on their feet. I could see the admiration on their faces. I became the spotlight and had my dream wedding, which made me the talk of the town. Nicklaus was already standing at the altar waiting for me. His charming smile made me fall hard for him. He was dressed in a black suit, which suited him perfectly, and his hair was styled, every strand in place. He looked like a model about to walk down the runway for Vogue
Nicklaus’s POV:I walked into my room after the wedding dinner, finally able to remove the fake smile on my face. I had been forcing myself to smile all day for my family and friends, but my face fell back to normal when I walked into the room and closed the door. My cheeks were hurting so much from smiling. It is now real. I am now Sarah’s husband.I let out a deep sigh and sat on the couch. I exhaled deeply, with my hand running through my face. I could not believe that Elena was truly out of my life for good and Sarah was now my wife. It feels surreal, like a dream that I had begged myself to wake up from. I thought about how my life changed in the space of just six months. Everything happened so fast. I got married to two women in six months. Not only two different women but two sisters. This is so bad. All because I need an heir just to take over from my father’s companies.I thought about Elena. I thought I loved her enough to stand by her, but I failed her. Now all I have le
Elena’s POV:It’s been a week since Nicklaus' wedding with my sister, and I have not been myself since then. I thought I had gotten over him and that I would easily move on and forget the pain, but I was mistaken. I hadn't left the house all week; I had not touched my phone; I had not spoken to anyone, not even Alex or Zoey. I was unable to face the outside world. I just wanted to be left alone and have some time to think things through. But this morning, I woke up very early in the morning, and I felt happy that I could get enough sleep all night long, and it gave me a little bit of relief.I looked around and decided to do something different, to take control of my life again. I rolled out of bed and walked to my closet. I arranged my clothes, folding and packing them in my box, and signed deeply, trying to let go of the past and start living again. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and it was swung open. Alex was standing in the doorway and walked inside the room. “Elen
Elena’s POV:I arrived in Oregon together with Zoey; we stepped out of the car onto the street. I looked around the unfamiliar surroundings before entering her apartment. I felt a little bit of relief that I had left Los Angeles, along with the painful memories and toxic relationship that was holding me back. I am here to start over again. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but I was willing to stand up and fight for myself this time around. Zoey noticed my mood as we walked into the house. “Elena, are you okay?” She asked, raising her eyebrows and giving me a questioning look.I looked at her and smiled nervously, “Yes, I am fine.” I spoke, trying to brush it off, but Zoey knew me too well. I could tell she didn't believe me.She walked up to me and said, “I know it is not easy for you because you are starting life from the start, but I want you to know that your happiness lies with this decision and you will find your strength again. Zoey reached for my hand and squeezed it gent
New BeginningsElena Williams woke up to the sound of her alarm ringing loudly. She let out a huge sigh and reached for the alarm clock before turning it off. This is not how I planned to start my day. I had planned to start my day feeling energetic, but it was quite the opposite. She lay on her back, laid on her back, placed her hand on her forehead, and let out a frustrated groan. She felt tired and exhausted, and she didn't even know how she would get up from her bed into the bathroom. Just then she heard a knock on her door: “Wake up, Elena. It's your interview this morning,” Zoey shouted outside the room.Elena rolled out of bed when she realised that it was getting late already and walked into the bathroom behind her as she felt the cool times on the floor.She quickly had her bath and changed into a cooperate outfit. She packed her hair into a sleek bun and applied a little bit of make-up to frame her face. She stepped outside the front pouch and inhaled deeply as the sweet
Sarah blinked her eyes open as she felt the morning sun rays on her. She had never felt this good and satisfied. She is now living her life as Mrs. Sarah Coleman, and that alone is her greatest achievement. Of course, she works up to an empty bed. Nicklaus was nowhere to be found; she could care less about it, but it was slowly getting to her.Nicklaus had been out of time for weeks, taking care of business, and he was happy to be away. He had never been happy since he got married to Sarah. He could not wait for his child to be born; maybe that would give him a reason to be happy again.Sarah’s phone buzzed, and she reached for it. Seeing the caller ID, she knew it was something serious and picked up the call.“Have you found him?” she asked, her voice deep. “Yes, ma'am. He is in the warehouse,” the voice game from the other end of the line.“Good, I will be there soon; just make sure you do your job. Keep an eye on him.” She spoke and hung up. She looked at the empty bed and let o
