Chapter 157

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 tried to convince myself that they wouldn't meet. “No, they can have an encounter together,”

After having my bath, I wrapped a fluffy blue robe around my body and walked into the closet.

The concealer did a great job of hiding my dark circles and eye bag. I was dressed in a red dress.

I grabbed my phone and paced around the room barefoot as I waited for news from my boys.

“What the hell am I paying these guys for? They are becoming slow and unreliable. Damn it.” I shouted.

Just the! My phone beeped with a notification when I saw that it was a picture. I tapped on the image to see Elena with a man inside a car.

I narrowed my eyes and tried to look clearly.

Elena got out of the car together with the man into the house, holding hands, and after a few minutes, the man walked out of the house and zoomed off.

“Who could that man be? This video was taken from afar. I wish I could see him clearly. I will make sure I get to the root of this.”

I called the boys in Oregon. “Did you follow that guy?” I asked.

"No, ma'am, we only focused on Elena,” she replied.

“You bastards. I paid you to carry out full investigations. You need to know who she converses with and what she does. I need to know every single person in her life,” I shouted and hung up the call.

I took in a few deep breaths, and I exhaled gently. I tried to keep calm about the whole situation. “What if it was Nicklaus and Elena? Had they reconciled? How did Elena survive these five years?” I muttered to myself, my eyes darting around the closet.

I quickly slipped into my heels and walked out of the house with my heels clicking on the floor.

I got into my car and zoomed off to my family’s house. After a short while, I arrived there.

I got out of the car and rushed into the building. She was seated in the dining room with my father as they had dinner.

“Good day, Mum, good day, father,” I greeted and faked a smile on my face. I joined them for dinner, and we chatted and laughed.

  

After dinner, my mother and I walked into the quiet garden where there was nobody to hear our conversations.

Immediately, I turned to her and out in the long face that I had been trying to hide during dinner.

  

“Mother, I have something to show you,”

 "Why the look on that face? What do you have to show me?

I brought out the phone and showed her the video. “I found out Elena stayed in Oregon, and Nicklaus travelled to Oregon a few days ago. Elena is with a man; could he be Nicklaus?” I asked.

“Tell me about it; is that her house? Where does Nicklaus stay? Tell me everything I need to know,” she asked.

I opened up to her, and after a few minutes, she smiled. “If that is Elena's house, this is the right time to get rid of her,” she smiled and brought out her phone. There was a calculating look on her face.

She dialled a number, and it rang. The receiver picked up, and her instructions were given clearly.

“I just sent you an address; set the house ablaze tonight,” she spoke and hung up.

I looked at my mother in awe with my lips slightly parted. I chuckled as I looked at her. “Mother, you are a genius. How couldn't I think of all these?” I said.

“That is why I am your mother. Tonight, we silence Elena for good,” she said. “Just go back home and relax. Everything is under control,” is spoken.

“Thank you so much, Mother,” I said and walked to the car.

I drove back home feeling happy that everything was being taken care of. In the next few minutes, you will be gone for good.” I muttered.

My mother is so good at this game, and she has trusted people all over the world who could do her work.

I arrived back at the mansion and was about to step inside when I saw a fleet of cars in front of the pouch. I walked into the sitting room and my eyes fell on Nicklaus.

Immediately, I startled.
