Nicklaus’s POV:
I woke up to see the morning sun resting on Elena’s face. It felt so good to see her sleeping peacefully in my arms.
“Nicklaus,” she called. She slowly moved away from me.
“Good morning, Elena,” I said.
“Nicklaus, you need to go before our—my son sees us in here,” she spoke up.
I sat upright. “Please, can you get me my clothes?” I asked.
She rushed out immediately and brought the clothes back in. I quickly put it on and was about to leave when the door was open. Elena’s eyes widened as Jason ran into the room.
“Good morning, mummy,” he called and ran to Elena. He stopped when he set his eyes on me. “Uncle Nicklaus?”
Elena and I didn't say a word. We just kept quiet. Immediately the door was open, and Zoey walked in. “Elena,” she paused, her eyes on Nicklaus.
“Uncle Nicklaus, what are you doing here?” wave asked.
I looked at Elena. “Uh, I just dropped by this morning to invite your mother for dinner,” he spoke.
“Really?” Wave asked. Elena gave me side eyes, but that was only what I could come up with.
“Yes, wave. Would you like to join us as well?” I asked.
He turned to Elena. “Mummy, can I join you both for dinner?”
Elena nodded her head and smiled. “Of course, my darling,” she said.
“I have to rush to work then; see you by 7,” I said and walked out.
Immediately, I bumped into Alex, and my cheeks flushed.
He smiled and walked up to me. “I knew you came by last night, bruh,” that made me feel relaxed.
“I also got your invitation for a business lunch. I will be at the office,” he said.
“Thank mate. I will be looking forward to seeing you at lunch.
“I have to go now. Take care,” I said and walked out of the house.
I have never been this happy in a long time. I have to prepare the divorce papers and divorce Sarah immediately. I will have my lawyers ready today, and I will make sure that we go our separate ways.
I reached for my phone and dialled my divorce lawyer’s number. “Get the divorce papers ready before evening. This information should not get out to the public,” I spoke.
I walked into the mansion and walked in the hallway. I stopped at Sarah’s room.
I didn't say a word. I wanted to walk past her when she called my name. “Nicklaus baby,”
“Baby, I specially made breakfast for you,” she said.“Thank you. I already instructed Chef Henry to make me breakfast.” I spoke and walked away.
I didn't want to do that right now because it would escalate. I need to gather enough evidence and get the divorce papers ready.
I walked into my room and decided to have a hot shower. The warm water cascaded down my body, and I washed up.
I was ready for work. I have a lot to do today, and I will stop at nothing to see that I achieve all of that.
I decided to drive myself since I had been doing that for weeks, and it felt great. I decided to stop by the hospital to present my samples and Amelia’s hair sample for a DNA test. I wanted to be sure of everything.
I am convinced that Sarah is capable of doing all of these terrible things, but deep down, I wish that Amelia would turn out to be my daughter.
I arrived at the office to see my divorce lawyer seated behind the desk. “Hello, Sam, thank you for honouring this prompt meeting,” I said and extended my hand for a handshake.
He stood up and returned the handshake before I took my seat. I dropped my briefcase on the table, and he brought out the divorce files.
“Everything is ready; the court has granted the divorce. Are you sure about this, sir?”
I narrowed my eyes as I went through the parts. “I have never been so sure,” I spoke. I felt happy that everything had come to light, and I waited for more information from the investigations. “You have outdone yourself again, Sam. Thank you so much. Again, this shouldn't get out. Do not mention it to anybody,” I said, and he nodded his head.
“You can always count on me, Mr. Nicklaud Coleman. I have to return to the form right now,” he said and stood up to leave.
After that, I heard a knock on the door, and my secretary walked inside the office. “Sir, you have a lunch meeting with Mr. Alex at the restaurant right now,” she spoke.
“Right away. You are dismissed.”
I dismissed my team and walked downstairs to the restaurant. Alex was already seated at the table, and I walked up to him. He stood up and we shook hands.
“My apologies for being late; I lost track of time,” I said.
“It's fine. We can begin the meeting right now without wasting much time,” he said.
I exhaled deeply, “You are right. I just need you to help me do one thing. It's about me, Williams, and the company.
My phone rang immediately, “Excuse me, I need to take this.” I said that and received the call.
“Mr. Nicklaus Coleman, the DNA test result is ready; you can come pick up the result at the hospital.”
Sarah’s POV:“Are you sure of what you are telling me? I need you to get me more information,” I said. “Maam, I can't get my information out of that right now. It turns out that it is between Mr. Sam and Mr. Coleman. But it can only be one thing. Mr. Sam is a divorce lawyer,” he spoke. “Get your hands on anything as soon as possible and let me know. I will be waiting.” I had been feeling uneasy lately, and I knew that things weren't right. I had ordered the boys to attack Nicklaus penthouse and search for anything that they could get their hands on. I had also broke into his bedroom to see if I could get my hands on any evidence to get rid of it, but I couldn't find a single piece of evidence.Does this mean that Nicklaus has no idea about the missing file in my father’s house?I exhaled deeply as I walked around the room. “What if he doesn't know anything about this? Why had he been acting strange then?”Immediately, my phone buzzed, and I reached for it. It was a picture of Nick
Elena and Zoey sat on the couch as they both ate popcorn and drank fresh juice. Elena rolled her eyes. “I wish I could have some red wine right now, but I still have to follow the doctor’s advice until I get better,” Elena spoke out loud.“You are right. It would have been a great way to watch this movie. Dinner would be ready soon,” Zoey spoke.They both turned around to see Wave playing with his iPad. “He looks so handsome.” Zoey commented.“Elena nodded her head. “I know right,” she said and dipped her juice.Zoey gave her a side look. “So are you waiting for me to ask you what happened between you and Nicklaus last night? I can see the glow.”Elena smiled and shook her head. She opened her mouth to protest, but Zoey cut her off. “Don't even try to protest,” she giggled.Elena chuckled lightly. “Well, I won't deny that something happened, and it was divine. I am beginning to have a soft spot for him,” she explained.Zoey smiled. “Well, I am glad. You finally have someone to ease th
“What do you want from me?” She asked, and her voice trembled. “Are you married?” Mr. Williams asked.“Yes, I am. Do you want me to wait for you for eternity?” she asked. “I am sorry for what happened, Anna. I was young and stupid. I didn't know what I was doing. I thought my parents wanted the best for me, but my life got ruined instead. I looked for you everywhere, but I heard you moved out of the country,” he explained. Anna broke down and began to sob. Her body shook while she sobbed. Williams sat upright and held her in his hands. “I got a scholarship. I had to travel to Korea to further my education to become a nurse.”After a few minutes, she was calm, and Williams gathered the courage to speak, “And the child? The last time you told me you were pregnant,” he spoke.“What do you mean?” She asked, narrowing her eyes and fixing her gaze on him. “You said you were pregnant for me,” he spoke.Anna was confused, and she narrowed her eyes. “Where is Elena?” she asked.Williams na
Elena’s POV:My heart slammed hard against my chest as I stared at everybody. I was filled with confusion, and I tried to understand what I had just heard. “What- what?” I stuttered with tears forming in my eyes. What are these people saying?“What do you mean, Mr. Williams?”Anna walked up to Elena with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Yes, Elena. Please forgive me,” she cried out, holding Elena, but Elena pushed her away.“Let go of me. Mr. Williams, what is she talking about?” I asked."That is the truth, Anna. I am your biological father, and Anna is your biological mother,” he confessed. “You both are liars. Leave me alone,” I spoke and ran outside. Sarah and Zoey stood in the doorway with their eyes widened. I ran past them into the hallway. Zoey ran after her and called my name as she tried to catch up with me. “Elena! Elena, please wait,” Zoey caught up with me and she squatted and wrapped her arms around me. I cried so hard that my body was shaking. I couldn't take it anym
Elena's POV:“Nicklaus!” I called as I ran with the nurses and the doctors inside the emergency. “Nicklaus please. Nicklaus, please,” I pleased. They ran into the theatre, and I was stopped at the doorway.“Madam, you have to wait here. We will do all out best to revive him,” one of the nurses said to me. I stood there in confusion. I couldn't think or do anything. I just wish the ground would open right now and swallow me up. Why is Nicklaus here? He is badly injured.I broke down in tears. Zoey ran to me and consoled me. My body was shaking with sobbing, and I couldn't breathe properly. Just now that I have decided to give Nicklaus a chance, all of this is happening to me. I cried so hard that I didn't take it anymore. It was too much to bear. The doctors were taking so long. They had been operating him all night long.Everything felt so overwhelming. That was when Nicklaus and all of his family arrived. His father, cousins, uncles, and aunties. Nicklaus Butler was with them. Im
Elena’s POV:He started the car, and we left for the hospital. We arrived after a short while, and I decided to go see Nicklaus first. I slowly opened the door to see Nicklaus up and active, even though he looked pale.He smiled warmly when he set my eyes on me.“How are you doing today?” I asked, leaning to kiss him on the forehead. “You gave us a scare.”“I am doing just fine,” he said, and we kissed again when Sarah opened the door. “So this is what you both had been doing in my back? 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
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. I carried all of his diamond jewellery and some bundles of dollars. My eyes fell on a pistol, and I picked it up. “This would be enough to get me to terminate him and El
Elena’s POV: I stayed up all night with my father and Nicklaus. Nicklaus’s bodyguards surrounded his room together with the police as he gave his statement. I also have my statement, and I felt relieved that he is now guarded. Alex, Zoey, and Jason arrived and stayed with me all night long. Jason had refused to sleep. He played with my father; I watched them as I smiled. They looked so happy. They laughed and joked until they both fell asleep.I had a little sleep on the couch. Zoey and Alex went home to rest. It was morning, and I blinked, my eyes opened. The police stopped by my father’s ward as they searched for Sarah. She had been on the run since last night, and we have not heard from her. 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. I walked up to him, “Who was that?” he asked.I exhaled deeply, “Father, it's the police. Unfortunately, Sarah is wanted,” I spoke.
