Chapter 134

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 gasped a little and their eyes widened.

“Hi baby,” Sarah said as she stood up and walked to me. She forced a smile on her face.

The ladies tried to smile to also hide how shocked they were, but I wasn’t having it.

“I need to have a word with you, Sarah,” I said and walked out of the room to the hallway.

She followed from behind me as we walked into the hallway, and I entered my room. I turned to her when she closed the door behind her with rage in my eyes.

“Baby, you seem to be upset. What…” She spoke but cut her off.

“Don't call me baby. I need you to tell me the truth right now. I want nothing but the truth. What did you do to Elena? What the hell did you do to her?”

Sarah gasped in shock, and her eyes widened. I stood there, waiting for her to speak, but she didn't say a word..

“I am talking to you, damn it. What did you do to Elena? Answer the fucking question.” I shouted, not minding if I was heard from outside.

She shook her head, and tears were beginning to fill her eyes. “Let's not do this right now,” she pleaded. “My friends will hear our voices.”

“Sarah, answer me before I do something I regret.". 

“Nothing!” she shouted; there was silence in the room. My eyes were fixed on her. She walked closer to me and said, “I would never hurt my sister. I just said that to calm my friends down and make them see me as a powerful woman,” she blurted out.

I stared at her with my eyes blazing red. I didn't want to say anything, but I knew those were crocodile tears. “You mean you lied to your friends about Elana just to prove a point? How petty can you be?” 

“Please, Nicklaus. Believe me. I did nothing to her; I haven't seen or heard from her.”

I looked at her, and my eyes were burning. I looked at her without any sign of empathy. I won't let her win this time around. All these years she had tried her best to manipulate me. 

My mistake was that I had been blinded by her innocent looks and lies. 

I removed my hands from my grip. “Let go of me. Do not touch me. If I find out you did anything to Elena, I will make sure you rot in jail for the rest of your life.”

“Nicklaus, I have already told you that I did not do anything to Elena. You have to believe me. She is my sister. Why would I want to hurt her?”

“Why did you seduce me and get pregnant for me if your intentions were not to hurt her?” I shouted, my voice echoing in the room.

There was silence in the room. “All I wanted was to have a happy life with Elena. But everything was ruined because of your rebellious act.”

“If I find out that you are lying to me, consider this marriage to be over, and I will take custody of our child and leave you with nothing.” I growled at her, and she gasped.

“Elena can go to hell for all I care. I wish she was dead and forgotten,” she shouted as she burst into tears. I grabbed my laptop to receive emails on the work project and stormed out of the house. I will be in Oregon. It’s a good thing that I will be in Oregon for a few months so that I can be away from this shithole city and from the so-called wife.

I will send my investigators to survey the areas and make arrangements for my stay since I have yet to build a hotel there.

I reached for my phone and called my investigation, “You have the whole of today to survey the environment. I am coming sooner than expected,” I said and hung up.
