Chapter 179

Elena’s POV:

I lay on my bed as I tried to get enough sleep but I couldn't. The noise of the rain and the thunder. What Nicklaus just said to me made me feel sad, and it made my heart heavy.

I walked to Wave’s room to see him sleeping peacefully. I gently closed the door and went into my room. I rested my back on the door, and I collapsed on the floor.

Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably, and my body was shaking with sobs. I couldn't believe all that I had just heard.

It is so hard for me to believe Nicklaus. I thought about how he maltreated me, thinking I was the monster. It turns out that Sarah had been behind all of this.

As for my father, I don't feel sorry for him. I just want all of them out of my life for good, and nothing would take my peace away.

I stood up and walked to the widow to see Nicklaus standing in the rain. He didn't look so good, but I couldn't care less. I closed the curtain and turned off the light.

I lay on my bed and forced myself to sleep, but I couldn't. I stirred and tossed on the bed. My mind was remembering the happy moments of me and Nicklaus.

Our wedding day, our honeymoon, and how we made love. I remembered everything, and I missed him so much. I have kept myself for 5 years. I must admit that I had been waiting for him.

I forced myself to sleep, but all I could see was his face. His face was flashing in my brain. I checked the time, and it was 3 am in the morning.

I got out of bed and turned on the light. I peeped through the window, and Nicklaus was still standing there. He was drenched and then poured heavily on him.

I wore a black raincoat and carried an umbrella. I walked into the elevator and went downstairs. I got out, and Nicklaus's eyes were on me. He stood up from the ground as he watched me approach him.

“Come on. Let's get inside,” I said and placed the umbrella above his head.

“Thank you, Elena,” he spoke, and we both walked inside.

I showed me to my room, and we both walked in together. I could feel the tension between us. Nicklaus's presence always makes me feel some type of way.

I noticed how she was all soaked up and was shivering with cold. His curly hair was dripping with water.

“Come on,” I said and gestured for him to enter the bathroom. He followed me from behind while I prepared a hot bath for him. He stood there watching me as I poured some essential oils and the bubble liquid.

“Don't stand there watching. Take off your clothes and come in here before you catch a chill,” I said.

He quickly took off his clothes, and I could feel him still standing behind me. I turned around to see him standing naked with wet clothes in his hands as he watched me.

I was done already, so I quickly stood up. Our eyes fell on each other, and I couldn't help but admire his body. My eyes scammed on his body. I decided to look away and pretend not to see anything, but I failed miserably.

“Drop the clothes and get into the bathtub.”

I said with my eyes on the other side of the bathroom. He did as I had instructed and when he was in the bathtub.

“Thank you. This smells nice and refreshing,” he said. I could tell he was enjoying the relaxing, hot bath.

“I… I will put this in the washing machine so that it will be dried before morning,” I spoke and walked away with the clothes.
