Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 148
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
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 151
Elena’s POV:Nicklaus Coleman. That name still rings in my head, and the memories of the past with him still replayed in my head like a fresh event. I will never let him come into my life anymore. I will do everything in my power to make him believe that Wave wasn't his son. I thought I could handle myself and be strong in front of him, but after seeing him like that and after so many years, something moved inside of me. I still managed to do it myself and not give him the satisfaction of seeing me break down.Sam overheard our last conversation. I have not really opened up to him because I wanted to forget everything that happened and move on.I don't even know how to face him anymore. I don't even know if I want to show myself at the hotel tomorrow. I changed into some comfortable clothes and collapsed on my bed. I lay my head on the pillow with my eyes fixed on the ceiling. I walked up to Wave's room and properly tucked his duvet in. I kissed him on the forehead and gently ran
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 152
Nicklaus’s POV:Could it be that she never wanted to have my child in the first place? Was I that mean to her? What is Elena hiding? Who is the father of her child? I vowed to always be there for her and to protect her, but I failed her. I really want her back. I am willing to take her son as mine.But Elena had made her choice never to come back to me again, and I will take it like that. The little boy had the colour of my eyes. Piercing blue eyes. I just wish he was mine. I would give anything to have a child with Elena. I will speak to Mr. Stone to give her back her full-time job.I walked to my closet and began to pack my stuff. After the meeting tonight, I will leave and never return to Oregon. I walked into the shower and had a hot bath. I let the water calm my muscles, and I exhaled deeply. “I love you so much, Elena, and I will do anything just to make you happy. You will always be in my mind.”After bathing, I dressed in my casual outfit and decided to go out for a stroll
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 153
Elena’s POV:My eyes widened when I could recognise the person who had just saved my life from those thugs. It can’t be him. I doubted my eyes.“Nicklaus,” I called his name to see if my eyes were deceiving me.He stopped on his track and turned to look at me before he walked out of the room. He didn't say a word. Just a heartbroken look, and he disappeared. My mouth was slightly parted, and I felt a little heartbroken. I just wanted to thank him for what he did."Let's go, Elena. I will drop you off,” Sam spoke, holding my arms. “Its fine. Sam. The staff car will take me home. You should go home and get some rest,” I said softly. “Are you sure?” he asked.“Yes, Sam. Please,” I said and turned around.I grabbed my stuff and got into the staff car waiting for me outside. Throughout the whole ride, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier and how Nicklaus saved me. He looked so mysterious that I could barely recognise me.Why didn't he respond when I called him? His facial

“No, no, please don't go away. Don't leave me,” I whispered in my dreams as I stirred on the bed.I saw a figure walking out on me, and I was pleading for her to stay. I cried my eyes out as I pleaded, but she walked away without looking back. Immediately, my eyes opened, and I gasped for air. My chest was rising and falling rapidly, and my mouth was dry.I sat upright when I realised that it was just a dream. The recurring nightmare that I had been getting. I wiped my sweaty forehead and allowed my breathing to be stable before walking to the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face and inhaled deeply, trying to catch my breath. I had not had this nightmare for a long time, and I was happy that it had stopped occurring. Why then did I have it time around?“What could be going in?” I muttered silently to myself, my eyes darting around the bathroom. Does it mean that Nicklaus wants to take my child away from me? Immediately, I remembered Wave, and I stroked out of my room to his r

Elena’s POV:I hurriedly walked out of the hotel room and banged the door in anger. Tears were forming in my eyes, and I was holding myself not to cry out loud.I rushed into the restroom and tried to hold my tears back. “No, Elena, you are not going to cry.”“You can’t do this; don’t cry.”Did he do it purposely to get to me? Or was that how he truly was? I couldn't understand what was going on.“How could he be so heartless? I don’t even understand how he still manages to do this. Why am I even getting angry?” I asked myself. I sniffed repeatedly and tried to calm my breath. I shouldn’t be angry. It's his lifestyle, and if he did it to piss me off, I will not give him the satisfaction that he wants. I shouldn't be getting angry or pissed at him. He is out of my life for good. Let him deal with his shit.I walked out of the restroom and decided to take a stroll to clear my head. I walked around the building, enjoying the gentle breeze to clear my thoughts and calm my mind.I didn't

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

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.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 187
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
