Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 132
I arrived at my school. I looked up at the signboard, “School of Culinary, Oregon.” I signed when I read the writings, and I felt even more of myself. I will graduate from here in a few weeks, and I cannot wait to be independent and have my own restaurant. I will also become an international chef, which will make me go global. When I was lost in thought, I heard a voice calling behind me, “Elle, Elle,” it called.I turned around, and Sam was walking towards me with a wide smile on his face. He stopped in his tracks when he came close to me. “Good morning, same. How are you doing?” I asked.“I'm doing great; I got you a rose,” he said, handing me a rose. “Wow, thank you. It's so beautiful,” I said and thanked him. Same has been a very good friend of mine since I started this school. We started at the same time, and we made a good pair. I don't even know how I could make it through this school without his support. Sam Michael had grey eyes, light brown hair, was six feet tall, and

Nicklaus’s POV:“This is not what I asked. I asked to see the company's finances, and you are bringing me this? What is wrong with you?”“This is the right figure, sir,”“You got to be kidding me. Why is five hundred million dollars gone in weeks?”“Are y'all now deaf and dumb?” I asked.They shook their heads when Joe walked up to me. "Sir, I get a printout of how the money came out and what it was used for,” he said, handing over the copy to me. I went through it, and my eyes widened. I looked at them. “You may leave; now stay,” I said.They all rushed outside the office, and Joe waited behind. “This is the 3rd time my wife has been taking huge sums of money since I travelled to Atlanta. Why didn't you tell me about it?” I asked.“Sir, I thought you were aware. These are what she used to have money for. He spoke and handed me receipts.My eyes widened, and my jaw dropped. “She went shopping with such an amount of money.”“This would have been invested for new projects. I already ha

Nicklaus POV:I tightened my fist beside me, still trying to understand what Sarah meant by Elena being dead and forgotten. Did she kill Elena? I have not heard from Elena in five years. Could it be that Sarah was right? Did Sarah really get rid of Elena?Not only did I kick her out of my life because she couldn't give me a child, but because of the allegations laid on her now I am beginning to rethink things. Elena looked so harmless, and I never suspected her when we lived together. How did the allegations come true?How does she have the nerve to hurt Elena? What else could she have done? Does it mean that Sarah had been lying to me all along?All I want right now is nothing but the fucking truth. I will stop at nothing to find out. Does it mean that she killed Elena or hurt her? I slammed the door open, and the girls and Sarah turned to look at me in shock. They didn't expect my return so soon, and I know that they sensed that I overheard their conversations because they all gasp

Elena’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning with baby Jason running around my bedroom. He had been jumping up and down.“Hey wave, can I at least get some rest? You are going to do all of that when we go on a trip for your birthday.” I spoke.“We are going on a birthday trip.” Oops. I forgot to inform him earlier about it. “Yes, Wave. We are going on a trip for your 5th year birthday,” I said. “Yay! I am so happy, mummy. You are the best. This is going to be so much fun,” he said excitedly. I nodded my head. “I know that you will love it. You should thank Uncle Sam because he made me accept his offer and everything became possible,” I said. “I will do that, mummy,” he said. I pulled him down from the bed and ran my hands through his hair. “We need to get you ready for school today, and I have to be at my school for my cooking practicals,” I said.I just wish the school bus would arrive early so that I would not go through the stress of going late for my practicals. I took

Elena's POV:Jason Wave’s birthday is in three days, and it will be our first trip together out of town. It would also be my first ever vacation in five years.Wave couldn't contain his excitement, and it was all thanks to Sam. Sam wants me to begin work on his company, but I have a passion for cooking. I have been taking care of company work all my life, and now it is time for me to chase my dream. I always cook with passion, but what drains me is balancing school and work at the same time. We were also informed at the restaurant that some important guests will be visiting next week, and we have to do our best to make sure our meals are perfect. After work, I decided to drop by the coffee store and grab some coffee to re-energise. I started to operate the machine, but it seemed not to be pouring out coffee. I tried again, and it was the same result. I sighed, “Now that I am thirsty, not this time around.” When I got tired of kicking, I kicked it so hard that my feet hurt, so I

Nicklaus’s POV:I adjusted my sitting position and leaned forward on my desk. “How far have you gone with the investigation on Elena?” I asked my private investigator.“We are doing all we can, sir,” he responds, sipping a glass of whiskey. I was getting annoyed that I had not gotten any positive results from him about Elena.“How good is your best?” I asked.“I have sent my men all over the states in America. They will bring back good results when they find something about her,” he spoke.“Don’t just find something about her; find her!” "Yes, sir,”“Should we send more men to hasten up the investigation?” I asked, then I shook my head, “No, I don't want to be so desperate. That wouldn't make any sense,” I said, running my hands through my hair as I ruffled it. I haven't been myself lately. I had been so fucked and messy.I turned to the other man seated beside the investigator. “It's been a few days since I decided to visit Oregon to begin the new work project and start building my

Elena’s POV:It's a Friday morning. I walked into Wave’s room together with Zoey with a little cake and a lighted candle on it. Jason Wave woke up at the sound of the swinging door.“Good morning, my baby. Happy birthday,” “Good morning, birthday boy,” Zoey greeted. “Good morning, mummy, and good morning, Aunt Zoey. Thank you so much. The cake looks nice,” he said. I walked up to him, wore the birthday hat on him, and placed the little cake in his hand. “Say a wish and blow the candle.” I said.He did as I have said, and we both clapped for him. I ruffled my hands through hisnahir, and he giggled. Zoey handed him a gift bag and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zoey. You are the best aunt in the whole world,” he said. He opened the gift bag to see a set of new toys and a blue school bag; his eyes widened. “Wow, this is beautiful. I love you, aunt Zoey,” be said. "Well, here is your gift,” I said, raising the gift bag over to him. He extended his hands and opened it excitedly. “This is so c

Nicklaus’s POV:“Nicklaus, I heard you are carrying out your investigations to find Elena. Are you going to see her?” Sarah asked as she walked into my room, slamming the door behind her without even a single greeting. “Good morning to you too. The answer is yes and no, respectively.” I spike as I continue packing a few work outfits and some casual wear. I will be in Oregon for some time, and I have to prepare even though it is close to Los Angeles. I am happy to go far away for some time. “Well, I want to go with you, Nicklaus. We haven't bonded for some time now, and I want to be by your side,” she demanded, crossing her hands over her chest. “I am going to work, Sarah. Besides, you have to stay back and take care of Tessa.” I said. I have always avoided Sarah, and she was right about us not binding, but that is not what I want from her. Only our child brought us together. Other than that, I have nothing to do with her. Sarah's eyes darkened as she looked at me. I looked at her

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.

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

Nicklaus lay on the hospital bed, but he was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. Anna saw him by the doorway as he struggled; she helped him out, “Nicklaus, you can't leave. 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. Immediately, Nicklaus reached for one of my keys and rushed out of the penthouse. He reached for my car and zoomed off. He took his car tracker and tracked Sarah’s location.Alex, An

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.

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. I carried all of his diamond jewellery and some bundles of dollars. My eyes fell on a pistol, and I picked it up. “This would be enough to get me to terminate him and El

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
