Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 18
Elena’s POV:I didn’t know what I was doing again. All I know is that I have been feeling something very strong for Nicklaus, a strong desire that I couldn't control, and I just allowed myself to live in the moment. I felt a shiver in my limbs as he spoke. “I want you,” I said, leaning closer to him. My eyes moved from his piercing dark eyes down to his lips as he bit them involuntarily.I couldn't deny how I felt at that moment. I wanted to kiss Nicklaus and feel his touch. He just confessed that he wanted it as well. The rain poured heavily on the beach, and the sound was deafening. I leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips without hesitating. Something I never imagined I could do. His lips were so soft and desirable. Nicklaus backed away; his eyes widened, but I placed my hands on his jaw and pulled him close to me. He wrapped his hands around my neck and pressed his lips against me. This time around, the kiss was deeper and more passionate. I could feel every bit of him.I hel

Nicklaus’ POV:I lay on my back to catch my breath, and I freed Elena from my body weight, planting kisses on her forehead.She placed her hand on my chest and rested her head on my body. I felt nervous at her touch, so I tried to move away. “I have never liked to cuddle,” I said, my chest ringing and falling rapidly. Her touch was putting me on fire. I was beginning to feel connected to her. It was making me burn for her.She still placed her hand on my chest. “There is always a first time. Don't you like it?” She asked, and her voice was low and husky. I knew she was not going to give up like that. I allowed her to touch my chest, and I slowly relaxed.I looked at her, “Do you like it? How do you feel?” I asked, fixing my eyes on hers as if I were trying to read her thoughts. “How are you feeling right now?”She took a deep breath. “I am a bit sore,” she confessed. My eyes were filled with concern, and I placed my hand on her waist. “I am so sorry. I tried my best to be gentle on

Elena’s POV:I woke up from my slumber and slowly opened my eyes in the morning to find myself cuddled up with Nicklaus. His arms were wrapped tightly around his waist. His body was so warm.My gaze landed on his face, and I noticed all of his perfect features.His soft lip and pointed nose, his curly and thick hair, and his jaw were clenched. How could someone be this handsome even in his sleep? He looks perfect.The memories of what happened last night flooded my mind. I could remember standing in the rain, kissing, and making passionate love in this room.My cheeks reddened with embarrassment, and for a moment, I lay silently, trying to process what happened between us and how I would get myself out of his grip. I knew I had to play my part in the marriage by giving him an heir, but never did I ever think of both of us making love so passionately. I raised my eyes and looked at Nicklaus, who was still fast asleep. He looked peaceful, but I knew that it would not take long for him

Elena’s POV:“Thank you,” I managed to talk my way out of the awkward situation. I walked to the dining area with my heart still pounding. I felt a little relieved.I perceived the nice aroma of the freshly cooked meal and the nice coffee. I could also perceive the scent of the local delicacies that were arranged on the table. I have always loved trying new meals, and I love local delicacies.Nicklaus joined me shortly after he had his bath. His hair was curly, and his eyes sparkled. He was putting on a blue shirt with a white inner and a blue shirt.We dug into our meals and enjoyed the nice flavours. They all had different and unique tastes, and I enjoyed the fresh ingredients. “My assistant had arranged our activities for the day,” Nicklaus said.My face lit up immediately. “That's great. I have been looking forward to exploring.” I spoke excitedly. Nicklaus grinned mischievously. "First up, we have a couple of spa dates. Massages, facials, etc. We deserve some pampering after

Nicklaus POV:The next morning, our luggage was neatly arranged, and we planned to return to Los Angeles from the Bahamas. I wish I could stay here and have more fun, but I also miss working.It was a lovely honeymoon, even though I wish it had lasted a little longer, but I had to embark on new work projects that needed my full attention.I had a cold bath and changed into black joggers and a black shirt with black sneakers. Black and grey has always been my thing. It made me look unapproachable and serious. I also wore a black pair of eyeglasses and waited for Elena in the living room.“Elena, are you ready?” I asked from the sitting room.“Yes, I am. I will be with you shortly.” Elena yelled, and she walked out of the bedroom. She was dressed in grey joggers and a white shirt. She wore white sneakers and packed her hair into a sleek bun. I could not help but admire her beauty and also see her as one of my favourite colours. She looked more beautiful as the days went by.I smiled a

Nicklaus’ POV:Elena was lying on the bed, shivering. Her face was pale, and she looked weak. I quickly ran to the other side of the bed.My eyes widened.I held her hand in mine, and it was so cold to touch. I could feel her trembling, and I didn't know what to do. “Elena, are you alright? what's wrong?" I asked with my voice low, and it trembled. I stroked her hair, trying to make her conscious of it, but she didn't respond. She was too weak to talk. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I tried to calm my mind, but I couldn't stop myself from panicking.“Get me my phone,” I ordered, Mr. Mike, my butler, who stood beside me as we both tried to wake Elena.I cupped her face with my arms. "Elena, can you hear me? What's going on? Do you have a fever?" I knew I needed to get her help as soon as possible.Mr. Mike walked in and handed me the phone. I dialled my doctor's number immediately, and he picked up on the first ring. “Dr. Thompson, I need you here right now.” I spoke ur

Elena’s POV: It’s been three weeks since we came back from our honeymoon, and everything seemed perfect. My new life had been perfect and even way more beautiful than I ever imagined it with Caleb. Nicklaus has been very nice to me; he took care of me, and we have grown close together. We now share a strong bond. I have become so fond of him that I always find myself thinking about him whenever he is at work. We always talked on the phone and went on dinner dates. This morning, we decided to have breakfast together. I came downstairs before Nicklaus and chatted with the chef. I had built a strong relationship with the workers, and we usually have conversations now and then. Nicklaus sat him down after a few minutes, and we sat in the dining area. I decided to serve myself a cup of coffee. Nicklaus gave me a stern look. “Why are you chatting with the chef and serving yourself?” he asked. Before I could say anything, I heard a loud sound on the dining table, and I looked towards

Elena’s POV:I had my shower and freshened up. I walked up to the mirror in the closet and smiled when I saw the beautiful red dress Nicklaus had gotten for me for the party that night. He sure knows my favourite colour and the kind of things I like. I styled my hair into wavy curls. My skin had been glowing, and I had been looking way prettier. I decided to apply a little makeup to frame my face.When I looked at myself in the mirror, I smiled, feeling confident in myself. I wasn't just the simple girl who had never cared to apply makeup to my face, even though I was very good at it. I finally slipped into the dress. It was a maroon dress with a huge slit that stopped at my thigh. The waist was snatched, and the dress revealed my curves, which made me look elegant.Nicklaus doesn't like me wearing fitted dresses that reveal my curves in public. He likes me wearing such a dress for him alone. Why did he get a revealing dress?“This dress is too revealing. Maybe I should just change

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

You haven't fully recovered,”Nicklaus father arrived and was surprised to see Nicklaus leave. “I have to go help Elena. I want to be by her side,” Nicklaus spoke.“I am tired of being told what to do.

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 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
