Elena’s POV:It is a Saturday afternoon, and the birthday trip is over. Elena, her son, and Zoey arrived in Oregon after a long trip from the resort. Elena walked into the house, and she collapsed on the couch. It's been a long trip back to Oregon, and they wish that the vacation would not end. “I am so exhausted,” she said. “Wave. You need to get some rest. I am too tired to cook. Should we do pizza?” she asked, looking at Wave and Zoey’s faces, waiting for their approval. Wave and Zoey’s faces lightened up. “Yes, that will be great. We are so tired. I will place the order.” Zoey said and reached for her phone. Zoey’s phone beeped with a notification, and her mood changed. I looked at her, “Zoey. Have you made the order or should I do it?” I asked.She looked at me and smiled, “No, I already did. She said. “Let's freshen up before dinner arrives.” “Sure,” I said, and I walked into the room to have a quick shower. Wave had already learnt to take his night shower in his room, but I
Elena's alarm went off, piercing through her sleep and waking her up. She groaned in her sleep as she stirred, holding her pillow fight. She still wanted to have enough rest, but unfortunately, time wasn't on her side. She knew that she had to be at work this morning to attend to the VIP guests that had arrived during the weekend.She reached for the alarm clock and turned it off. She let out a frustrated sigh in her sleep and rolled out of her bed.She wished that she could have all day to myself, she groaned. “I wish I could have enough time to rest." She had a very hot shower to help clear the sleep away from her eyes as it cascaded down her body. She walked to her closet and cleaned her body. She towel dried it before drying it. She packed it in a sleek bun, and she put on denim trousers and a crisp white shirt. She applied a little makeup to highlight her face and to make her glow all day. One way or the other. Elena had the feeling that today was going to be a great day despi
Elena’s POV:I couldn't believe what I had just seen. What is Nicklaus doing here in this hotel?Nicklaus slowly stood up and walked up to me. “Nicklaus?”"Yes, my name is Nicklaus Coleman, but it seems you already know me,” he said and extended his hands for a handshake. I was about to extend her hands to shake him when Nelly pushed her hands away, “Stay away from our partners. You hoe,”“Why is there excess sugar and salt in the meal?” Mr. Stone asked angrily. “Oh no, I am so sorry, sir. I will quickly prepare another one,” I said, and I was about to run out of the kitchen when Nelly stopped me.“You have ruined the breakfast meeting we had been planning all weekend. Get your stuff and leave. You are fired,” Nelly spoke in anger. Everybody stood there watching, and I began to plead with her.“No, please. I apologise for what happened. Don't fire me. I will make another,” I pleaded. Tears were already beginning to fill my eyes.“I said, leave. I never want to see you here ever aga
“Yes, I have a son,” she spoke, staring at him.In the eyes, “If you will excuse me, I have to go,” she said and was about to walk out when he held her hands.“You left and immediately had a son for Alex?” he asked. “How could you do that?”His statement made her feel disgusted. Elena narrowed her eyes and gave him a disgusted look. She quickly removed her hand from his grip. “Well, you did it first. You had an affair with my sister just for an heir. Have you forgotten about all of your mistresses? Who is the devil now? Were you ever a saint?” She asked.He knew that she was saying the right thing and that he couldn't judge her. “If you will excuse me, I have important things to attend to,” she said and walked out on him. “Who would have thought that she moved on so quickly without me? I wish I had a child with her. It would have been easy to correct all these mistakes,” he muttered to himself.He feels deep regret for everything that happened five years ago. He wished that he wou
Elena’s POV:It was evening, and I decided to stop by the grocery store to get some groceries. I had not even stepped all day. I stayed indoors, wallowing in my sorrows. I thought about how my life would be if I decided to take the job. Now that I am jobless, let me make myself useful in the house before accepting Nicklaus's hell offer. I just wish that I would never see his face again, but it seems like I have no choice.I can't let everything that I had worked for go to waste. I can't let this little disaster ruin my little reputation. I know Sam would want to hire me in his company, but I do not have a passion for white-collar jobs. Wave and I were walking down the store when he held my hands, “Mummy, can we go check that out? I want to see the toy,” he said, looking at me with his pupils dilating. “Wave, we can't. I don't have enough money to get you a new toy, and besides, you have more than enough toys.” I protested. His pupil dilated. "Please, mummy. Let me go check it ou
My alarm went off at 5 o'clock, and I let out a huge groan. I couldn't believe it was morning already.I sat upright with my hair looking messy. I blinked away the remaining sleep from my eyes while I rolled out of bed and into the bathroom.I turned on the shower and had a long, hot bath so that I could feel warm and gather enough energy. I cleaned up and wrapped a fluffy robe on my body before walking to Wave’s room.“Good morning, baby; arise and shine. It's a Monday morning,” I said, and a wave stirred. “Common, you have to get up. You don't want to be late for school,” I spoke.Wave turned around and blinked his eyes open. Good morning, mummy!” he greeted.“Did you sleep well, my love?” I asked as we both walked into the bathroom. “Yes, mummy. I saw Nicklaus in my sleep again,” he spoke.My heart skipped a beat, but I managed to brush it off. “It's just a dream,” I said and placed him in the bath.After having his bath, I dressed him up when I walked to the kitchen to prepare bre
Elena’s POV:I walked out to the main restaurant, and some of the chefs were looking at me awkwardly and whispering.I stopped in my tracks and slowly walked into the staff restroom to check myself. I turned around, and my outfit was looking perfect.I turned around and touched my hair. “What could be wrong? Why are they all whispering?” Just then, Anna walked up to me with a smile on her face.“Hello, Elena. I have been searching the whole place for you,” she said."Uh, I was in the bathroom,” I said and turned my head to observe the crowd, then I turned back to her. “Why are they all staring? Do they know something that I don't?”“Haven't you heard?”“Heard about?”“Well, it turns out Nelly walked into you and Nicklaus alone in the bathroom,” she said.“What?” I asked, creasing my brows. “That's not what it looks like,” I said. “Well, it’s too late because she has been spreading rumours about how you have been seducing Mr. Coleman, and she said she knew you would do it; that was w
Nicklaus’s POV:I ran to catch up with her as she ran into the restroom. “Elena,” I voiced out. I wasn't able to hold myself anymore. I wanted to see her and speak with her.This wasn't how I wanted us to see each other. I know that she must think that I planned everything and decided to stay in this hotel because I had been stalking her, but it was just a coincidence, and I felt grateful for such a coincidence. I was pissed to see that she had a good bond with Sam. Who knows how many other men are after her? I became even more pissed off. I remembered how she gave me a cold look. I could see it in her eyes. At first, she was confused, but a few seconds later, she remembered how I had treated her years ago. She must have considered me dead to her instead of waiting for me to come save her. How come she successfully had a child for another man? I tried so hard for her to conceive, or wasn't I patient enough?“Elena, please. I don't want to leave here until I have a word with you. Pl
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. My long brown hair was styled in soft waves and packed in a huge bun pinned with sparkling hairpins. The tiny curls in my hair decorated my face as they rested on my shoulders.I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life. Getting married to Nicklaus and starting over again. Everybody deserves a second chance. Nicklaus, my mother Anna, and Nicklaus’s father.This is so wonderful. I have found my true love, and I will never give room for anybody to sabotage this happiness. Jason and Amalia walked with us down the hall. They were also dressed in their beautiful wedding attire. I had adopted Amelia to be my daughter, and it is indeed a blessing. Just
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
Elena’s POV: I stayed up all night with my father and Nicklaus. Nicklaus’s bodyguards surrounded his room together with the police as he gave his statement. 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. He played with my father; I watched them as I smiled. They looked so happy. They laughed and joked until they both fell asleep.I had a little sleep on the couch. Zoey and Alex went home to rest. 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
Elena’s POV:He started the car, and we left for the hospital. We arrived after a short while, and I decided to go see Nicklaus first. 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
