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

My eyes widened when I saw the scary sight. smoke covering the room, I could barely see. My heart raced, and I quickly turned my head to the window when I saw fire coming from outside. The flames were so thick and scary. I quickly opened my door, filled with energy, and rushed to the hallway while I was coughing and panting. 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.

Mr. Williams sat in the study after dinner as he tried to do some research and the live news channel was on.He felt lonely and alone. He sighed when he remembered how Elena used to run his company back in the day, and he took it for granted. He regrets his actions and he misses Elena dearly. He wished he stood by her five years ago. Maybe things wouldn't have been like this. Sarah had no idea about the company. The news showed a live house had been burnt down in Oregon just a few minutes ago. He watched it for a while, and he shook his head. “That is not good. It was clearly a planned work,” he decided to turn off the TV and focus on the world to avoid getting distracted.He looked at his desk to see that he had brought out the wrong document from the library. “Oh no, my bad, the wrong document. No, I have to find the right document in the library,” he signed.“I wish Sarah was hard-working and competent; she would have taken over me. Now I am too old and weak. Who would help run t

Sarah’s POV:After my mother hung up on me, I decided to call her back, but nobody was picking up. I called the house, and one of the maids answered the phone.“Where is my mother? What could have happened?” I wondered as my eyes darted around the room. I hope she wasn't caught. I thought to myself as I called my father’s mansion. “I want to speak to my mother right now,” I ordered. “Mr. Coleman, Mr. Williams just had a heart attack. He had been taken to the hospital,” the maid responded urgently. My eyes widened, and the phone dropped from my hands to the bed.My jaw dropped, and I didn't know what to say. I hurriedly grabbed my keys and stormed out of the house. I knew exactly the hospital that they would be, so I zoomed off.While on the way, I could not help but ask myself multiple questions. Why would my father have a heart attack? I had dinner with him, and he was doing just fine. What could be going on?My hands were trembling, and I was already feeling cold. I just hoped th

Elena’s POV:Beep beep beepI heard the sound of a beeping monitor while I lay on the bed. I slowly blinked my eyes and opened my eyes to the sound of the beep when I saw myself in the hospital bed. I narrowed my eyes and looked down to see Wave seated beside me. His hands were gently on mine, and he looked at me intently. A little smile appeared on his face. “Mummy! Mummy! You're awake!” he shouted as his eyes lit up. “Aunty Zoey. Mummy is awake.” He shouted, and immediately, the door opened, and Zoey stepped inside the room. The room was decorated with flowers and balloons. I was in awe. “Hello Elena,” Zoey said as she walked in with a smile on her face. “You gave us a scare,” she said. “How do you feel?” “I was also scared. How are you doing?” I asked; my voice was a little hoarse from dehydration. My smile was weak. “I'm fine; we are doing fine,” she replied.I adjusted myself and sat upright. “My baby boy, are you doing fine? Hope you we rent hurt?” I asked, my eyes scanning

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.

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?

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
