Chapter 150

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. Please listen to me,” I pleaded.

“I do not want to hear what you have to say; you stinking have nothing to say to me. You just want to fill my head with lies again,” she shouted inside the bathroom.

I knocked on the door, “Elena, please.”

“She doesn't want to speak with you; why don't you leave her alone?” a voice came from the hallway. I turned back, and it was the same guy I bumped into at Elena’s school.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at him, “Are you now following me?” I asked:

“I have no business with you, but it would be better to leave Elena alone. She doesn't want to speak with you,” he responded boldly. His voice was deep and formal.

I turned back and knocked on the door again. “Elena!” I shouted. Then I felt a tight grip on my arms, which made me turn around.

“What the fuck? Met go of me, your scumbag,” I spoke up, feeling irritated by Sam’s action. I pulled my arm away from his grip. “What is your problem?” I asked.

“She said you should leave her alone, so why don't you make this easier for everyone and just go away? He spoke up, and the jaw on his muscle clenched.

Who the hell does this guy think he is to be talking to me in such a manner? If not for the respect I have for Elena, I would have punched him back to his senses.

“I said get the fuck out of here, man, leave her alone,” Sam spoke again.

“I won't leave. Let's see what you are going to do about it.” I spoke up and took a few steps close to him.

“Don't push me. I won't spare you,” Sam groaned.

“Go ahead,” I spoke, rubbing my chest against his and tightening my fist. Just then? The bathroom door opened, and Elena stepped out.

“That's enough; you both should stop it, Nicklaus; please leave,” she spoke.

“You heard the lady, leave,” Sam said.

I turned to Elena, “Please.”

“I said leave,” she shouted.

I gave Sam a deibg look. “This isn't over; I will teach you to learn your damn business,” I warned and walked away.

I angrily walked to the last floor and was about to head into my room when Nelly approached me with a fake smile on her face.

“Mr. Nicholas, I witnessed what just happened. I am so sorry.”

“Learn to mind your damn business,” I shouted and walked into my room. I slammed the door in her face and collapsed on my bed. I couldn't believe that Elena would choose to stay with Sam over me.

I can't blame her because whatever treatment I get from her right now, I deserve it. I had caused her pain, and I admired how she could pick up the broken pieces of her life and move on.

I wished her son, Wave, was mine. I wish I waited a little longer for Elena. But I was driven by guilt and my selfish desire to inherit all of my father's properties; now I am all alone.

I got into the shower and had a hot bath before changing into some fresh clothes. I lay on the bed and buried my head in the pillow.

I could not stop admiring how beautiful she looked. Her voice and her eyes made me remember when we were happily married. How I would kiss her and make love to her.

I promised to always be by her side, and now she hates me because I didn't keep to my promise. At least I am happy that she is alive and not dead, as Sarah said she was.

She must hate me right now. I hate myself right now for the mistakes I made five years ago. How do I prove to her that I am a changed person? How do I get to have a word with her?

I thought to myself as I tried to fall asleep but I couldn't. I decided to get out of bed and stay on the balcony to get some breeze. I looked around to see the wonderful view of the whole city of Oregon.

My chest tightened at the thought of her having struggled all by herself when she arrived here in this big city, all alone. I wondered how she managed to get enough money to get a place.

Did the father of her child help her with the bills? How did she manage to see herself through school?

I just hope that I am not too late. I still want Elena back. I still love her, and I will do anything in the world to make her love me.
