Chapter 133

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 have Sarah all that she needs. Why the hell does she need more?”

“That's how it had been all these years; whenever you are on a trip, she takes huge amounts of money from the company, but this amount is huge,”

“Sir, we are generating more profits, which is why you have received them, but if it keeps going this way, other businessmen will overtake your position as the richest man in the whole world,” he said.

Sarah has got to be kidding me. 

  

“I'm sorry, sir, that's just it,” Joe spoke. “One of the investors had pulled out already when he noticed that the stock shares had reduced.”

So much different since Elena left town. She used to be my backbone. My peace of mind and I thought I would spend forever with her.

Not until everything happened and she went away. I regret getting married to her sister, Sarah. Since then, it has been a nightmare for me. She used to give me peace and also some financial advice, but Sarah couldn't figure out a simple thing.

She had been making me lose money and investors. She wants to make me go bankrupt.

I let out a frustrated growl, and Joe trembled out of fear. “You may leave,” I said to him now, and he hurriedly walked out of the office, leaving me alone.

“Damn it,” I growled angrily and threw my cigarette on the ground.

These past five years have not been easy for me. It had been way tougher than I had imagined. Nothing gives me peace anymore.

I thought it would get better by giving Sarah some distance, but it didn't help. The more information about it, the worse it becomes.

This is beginning to affect me and the company. I have to cut Sarah off and keep her away from my business. I knew that I had to fix everything or else my company would become so weak.  

I have not even touched her. I know that sex is great, but I haven't been able to do it with other women in my sober mind. I always get drunk and take mistresses.

Sarah had been living a lie since we got married. She abused her role as my wife and treated others as if they were slaves. She is the complete opposite of Elena.

Five wasted years without a sensible woman to show for it. This is horrible. “My life is a mess. Everything about me is fucked,” I groaned angrily as I walked out of the office.

I hurriedly left the office with my jacket in my hands, and I arrived at the house, cussing under my breath. Suddenly, I heard noises on the other side of the hallway.

I knew that Sarah was with her friends, and they were chatting about heaven knows what while her child was in the care of a nanny.

Just as I was about to walk away and head to my room and freshen up, one of the ladies spoke up.

“Don't you think your husband is still seeing Elena?” she asked. Her question caught my attention immediately. “Wasn't he in love with her then? How did you make him love you?”

“That bitch is gone for good. I don't think he has any access to my sister,” Sarah responded. Her answer made me so uncomfortable. Why would she call Elena a bitch?

“How are you sure he doesn't see her? You know what they say about first live,” the girl said. They giggled, and Sarah got pissed off with the statement.

I was about to walk away feeling satisfied that the girls had successfully pissed Sarah off; she spoke up before I took another step.

“What if you say that she might be dead and forgotten? I made sure of that. I can't let her have all of these while I am still here. I needed to make my moves and find a way to silence her. I have to eat all of his money. I will make sure of that,” she spoke.

I could hear their laughter, and they laughed uncontrollably. They seemed to be so proud of Sarah.

What the fuck have I done?
