Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 163
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

Nicklaus’s POV:I wrapped my arms around Wave, and I felt something move inside of me. This is my first time being in close contact with him, and it felt like I had known him forever. I couldn't explain why I felt so attached to him already.I pulled away, and I noticed Elena’s facial expression. She acted nervous and quickly removed her eyes away from me. I was keen on staying away from her, but not after this. She looked like she was hiding something from me, and aside from that, she needed me. I need to stay by her side and protect her in every way that I can. I am ready to make up for lost time. I have not been able to protect her in the past, and now I am ready to do that. This made me rethink: could it be that Sarah had a hand in what happened? I asked myself, but I tried to brush it off again and focus on Elena.I don't mind if her child’s father, Alex, is here staring at me. His eyes bored into mine. If he loved her enough and claimed to protect her, he would have married her

Elena’s POV:“If Alex isn't the one, then who is?” Nicklaus asked, his voice was deep and barely above a whisper. My heart skipped a bit, and I blinked repeatedly, feeling nervous, “Nicklaus, this is not what I need right now, and I don't think I should be having this conversation with you. It's my private life,” I spoke up, my voice rising, which caught everybody’s attention.His facial expression softened, “I’m sorry, Elena.” he apologised.“I need to get out of here,” I said and tried to place my feet on the floor. Alex and Zoey walked up to me. “I have made arrangement for us to return to LA. You all need to rest,” Alex said and Zoey nodded her head.“But…” I tried to ask questions but Zoey spoke up, “its fine Elena. We will stay at Alex’s house. With what had happened, you need some time to yourself and besides the doctor advised that we get enough rest,” she said.I smiled at them, “thank you so much,” I said and hugged them. Zoey and Alex hugged each other warmly and they bo

Nicklaus’s POV:I arrived back at the house, and the driver brought the car to a stop. One of my bodyguards opened the car door for me, and I hurriedly walked inside. I walked up to my room and shut the door.I was so upset that I couldn't even explain why I was angry. I had to leave the house at midnight to see Elena in Oregon when I heard the news. I couldn't help but panic while on my way there. It's a good thing she is safe and sound.What was I thinking by asking her to return to my house when I was fully aware that she would decline? I was ready to give Alex a taste of his own medicine. He never seems to stay out of my way.All this while, I thought he was in a relationship with Elena. It is a huge relief that they are not together, but I couldn't help but wonder what Elema must be hiding. Why isn't she still in touch with her baby daddy? Did he also dump her for someone else? He wouldn't do that to two friends. This is not good. What could Elena not be telling me? She is defin

The hospital door was swung open, while Mr. Williams lay in his bed looking pale and weak with his wife and Sarah by his side. Nurse Grey entered the room with a clipboard in her hands; her eyes scanned the chart as she stepped in, standing beside me, Williams. She was about to speak when her eyes fell on Mr. Williams; her eyes widened.The clipboard she was holding slipped from her fingers and dropped on the floor, which caused all eyes to be on her because of the sudden noise. Sarah turned around and narrowed her eyes, looking at the nurse, “How clumsy. You look like you have just seen a ghost, hello? We are humans,” she said rudely. “I'm so sorry, my apologies. I guess I was too distracted,” she apologised and went ahead to check Mr. Williams's vitals. Mr. William’s eyes opened in his weak state.Mr. Williams eyes were fixed on the nurse, and he didn't say a word. He was caught off guard. Her dark brown eyes only reminded him of the past. Their eyes met again, and they locked.H

Nicklaus’s POV:I drove the car on the highway at full speed to Mr. Williams's house. I waited for the right moment when Mrs. Williams and Sarah were in the hospital to carry out Mr. Williams's instructions. I have a feeling that things are beginning to get interesting. I didn't have enough time on my side. I had to act according to what Mr. Williams told me, and I needed to make it smooth. After what felt like forever, I arrived at the mansion and brought the car to a stop.“Good day, Mr. Nicklaus,” the butler, Mr. James, greeted as he approached me. I nodded my head in acknowledgement as I got out of the car and walked inside the house. The butler followed me from behind, and I noticed his presence with my side-eye.I stopped on my track and turned to him, waiting for him to speak. “Mr. Williams is in the hospital. None of his family members are at home,” he spoke.“I am aware of that. I was sent here by Mr. Williams. Now you will excuse me,” I said and walked into the hallway.I

Sam had decided to stay in Los Angeles and spend some time with us. Alex had been so kind.The whole environment brought back old memories. “Attention everyone,” I spoke, and they all turned their eyes on me. “I don't want to say much, but I want to thank each and every one of you for everything that you have done for me and my son. You all are my real family, and I would never trade that for everything,”Zoey walked to me and wrapped around me. Wave ran to us, and Sam and Alex walked up to us. “We love you,”I felt very happy and relieved. These are the people who make me feel happy, and nothing else in the works matters. I turned to wave, “Wave, you need to go to bed; it's late.” I spoke, and I walked him to his room. Sam also decided to take his leave to his hotel. After reading some bedtime stories to my son, I walked to the sitting room to see

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

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

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.

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.

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
