Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 154
“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

Nicklaus POV:Was she having a secret affair with Alex and looking for how to be free from me? Everything is so confusing right now. What in the world did Alex do for Elena that made her love him that much? If Elena had been with Alex ever since we were married, then I still have to do more investigations to know what exactly. I will hire good professionals who are good at their jobs and digging into every little detail. I remember when I held her hand yesterday and looked at her finger, there was no ring on it, which meant she didn't get married to him. She stayed alone with her son and Zoey, even though my investigators stated that Alex sometimes stops by the house here in Oregon.Maybe he always comes to see his son. But Alex is a multimillionaire. Why is Elena struggling and footing the bills for her son all by herself? Something is not just adding up with the recent investigations, but I am willing to let it go and forget that she ever existed. She treated me like trash, like

Sarah’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning. It's been a few days since Nicklaus travelled to Oregon, and I also got devastating news that Elena had been in Oregon. I had been so restless all night long, and I couldn't sleep peacefully. I stirred on the bed when I heard my child crying, “Penelope.” I called one of the maids.She hurriedly walked into the room. "Good morning, ma'am; you sent for me,”“Go take care of that child. I do not want to hear her cry this morning,”“Right away, ma'am,” she said and hurriedly walked out of the room.I buried my head in the pillow to block away the noise from her cries. It was beginning to get annoying. I couldn't help but wonder how women manage to nurse babies again.“I can't give birth again. Not with this kind of noise,” I yelled and stepped into the bathroom.I was so angry that Nicklaus left me for Elena. What if they reconnect over there? Would that be the end of me and this marriage?I wondered to myself, but I shook my head and tr

Nicklaus’s POV: I sat on the sofa with my little daughter, Amelia, as I watched her play with her toys. She looked so adorable, and I smiled while watching her. I had been waiting for Sarah's arrival for a few hours. I couldn't believe she would leave her little daughter alone and go on with her daily business. I Sarah had been so distant with her daughter, Amelia, and she never paid attention to her. I couldn't help but wonder what sort of mother Sarah was.She would go out partying and even spend weeks on a vacation. She will always leave Amelia in the hands of a nanny. Chef Henry walked to me in the sitting room. “Mr. Nicklaus, dinner is ready,”“Perfect, thank you, Henry,” I said and turned to Amelia, “common baby girl. Are you ready to eat dinner?” I asked.“Yes, daddy. I love having you around,” she said, and I nodded my head and kissed her on the forehead.“I will always be here for you. Never forget that,” I said. “Alright, let's go eat something,” I said, holding her ha

Elena’s POV:“Thank you so much. Dinner was delicious, but I should get going,” Sam said.“Uncle Sam, wouldn't you like to stay back with us so that we can watch animation together?” Wave said as he walked to Sam, “Uh…” Sam gave me a side look, and I shook my head. “Wave, I don't think that is a good idea tonight. Your school is on holiday, but you need to go to bed early,” he spoke gently. I walked up to wave and ruffled my hands through his hair. “He is right, son. You still have to go to bed early, even if you are on holiday; you can watch whatever you want to watch tomorrow. I promise.”“But I am not feeling sleepy, mummy.” “Don't you want to grow bigger and taller like Uncle Same someday?” I asked."Yes, Mummy, I want to be bigger and taller,” he said excitedly. “Then you have to get some rest, darling. Going to bed in time will help you grow bigger and stronger. I want to be like Uncle Sam and Uncle Nicklaus when I grow up,” he said.I gave Zoey and Sam an awkward look. I co

I tried to brush it off, thinking it was nothing. turned to the other side of the bed and cuddled me up when the smell became pungent and sweat was beginning to gather on my forehead and the top of my lips as my body responded.I brushed off my forehead with my palm when my eyes were opened.

Everywhere was filled with smoke, and I couldn't see clearly. My breath was beginning to cease. I rushed to wake Wave up and covered him with a wet blanket. I held him in my hands and ran to the front door. Struggling with my sight, I pushed him out to the front foot, and

The paramedic and the ambulance tried their best to stabilise Elena as they drove to the hospital. Wave was also thoroughly checked, and they made sure that he was okay, but he wouldn't stop crying for his mother and aunty Zoey.After a while, Zoey coughed, and her eyes were slightly opened. “Elena?” she called. She looked around, calling for Elena. She felt relieved when she saw Elena lying beside her. With time, she was stabilised, and her pulse and heartbeat were back to normal. She looked over to see Wave tearing up, and she looked down at Elena lying on the stretcher as the rest of the paramedics tried to revive her.Her eyes became watery, and she stood up and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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
