Nicklaus lay on the hospital bed, but he was feeling uneasy about the whole situation.
Anna saw him by the doorway as he struggled; she helped him out, “Nicklaus, you can't leave. 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. Please get me out of here.”
Mr. Coleman and the nurse agreed; they threw Nicklaus out of the hospital in a wheelchair. They got into the car, and after what felt like forever, they arrived at the penthouse.
“Nicklaus walked in to see Zoey and Alex pacing around without Elena. He looked around, hoping to see her come out, but she didn't.
“Where is Elena?”
“She left with Sarah. I am still trying to track her location,” Alex said.
Immediately, Nicklaus reached for one of my keys and rushed out of the penthouse.
He reached for my car and zoomed off. He took his car tracker and tracked Sarah’s location.
Alex, Anna, Zoey, Sam, and Nicklaus’s father rushed into the car.
Immediately, he called the police. “I just sent you a location; send backups,” he ordered.
After a while, Nicklaus arrived at the location, but he couldn't drive into the woods. He sighted Alex’s car in front, and he walked in that direction.
Nicklaus walked in immediately, and he stopped the fight. He tried to help the child when Sarah pointed a gun at the three of them.
“You think you can get away so easily?”
"Sarah, keep the gun away. You are getting into so much trouble,” Nicklaus spoke.
“I don't care. Shut up. Everything I did, I did for you. I did for love,” she spoke as she teared up. “You never gave a damn about me. You only cared about Elena,” she cried, pointing the gun at them.
Nicklaus slowly walked up to her. “Sarah, please,” he pleased. Immediately, the police surrounded the environment, and Sarah vanished.
Alex and the rest of the team arrived. Elena rushed to carry her son and found out that he had been bleeding on his leg.
He was rushed to the hospital, and Anna helped tie the wound and stabilise him on their way to the hospital.
Elena cried her eyes out on their way as she tried to revive her son. “Jason, please, you can't do this to me. Please,”
“His pulse is stable now.” Anna spoke.
Elena felt a little bit of relief, and she couldn't wait to arrive at the hospital.
After what flew like forever, they arrived at the hospital. The nurses and paramedica helped with a stretcher, and Jason was rushed into the emergency room.
“I will make sure Sarah pays for this,” Elena swears.
After a few minutes, the doctor walked out, and they all ran up to him, feeling furious and impatient.
“Well, its a good thing his pulse was stabilised before he was rough here. He is doing better, but there is a little bit of a problem. He is rubbing out blood,” the doctor spoke.
“What do you mean by that doctor? Is the hospital also out of blood?” Nicklaus asked.
The doctor nodded his head. “Unfortunately, the hospital is out of blood at the moment. His blood type is not available, but his relatives could donate. That is the only option we have.”
Elena stepped in immediately. “I will donate, doctor. I'm his mother. Let's not waste much time,” she spoke.
“That would be great, but we have to run some tests on you to see if you are healthy enough to donate and if you are compatible,” he spoke.
“Let's do this right away. I am sure that I'm comparable,” Elena spoke.
“Okay, come with me,” he spoke, and they went to the examination room.
The doctor walked out of the examination room after a few minutes. “Doctor, can I come in?” Elena asked urgently.
“Unfortunately, your blood doesn't match with his.”
Elena’s jaw dropped. She was so disappointed that she didn't know what to do.
“Is there anybody in the house that can donate?” they asked.
Anna and Nicholas stepped forward.
“Well, I am off duty, and Jason is my blood. He is my grandson; I will donate,” she spoke.
“Okay, we need to test you, Mrs. Grey; come with me,” the doctor said, and she went into the examination room with him.
After a while, the doctors came out with a negative result also. “We are running out of time,” the doctor spoke.
Nicklaus stepped forward, “Try me,” he said, and he went into the examination room with them.
“you are compatible with Jason,” the doctor spoke. Immediately, the transfusion was done, and Jason was stabilised.
Elena was filled with joy, but she was also tired. "Well, he has to spend a night here with us, and also, Mr. Nicklaus, you have to be kept under close watch; you sustained a lot of injuries. You will both stay in the same ward tonight,” the doctor advised.
Nicklaus turned to everybody. “Well, its a miracle that I am compactible,” he said, feeling excited.
“You all should get some rest; I will stay back and watch over them,”
Anna turned to her, "Elena, darling, you also need to rest. You don't want to break down,”
“No Elena. My bodyguards are all over the place. I will stay with Jason tonight. Y'all needs to get some rest; I promise you, he will be fine.” Nicklaus spoke;
Nicklaus and Jason stayed in the same ward and the rest of them went home. Nicklaus sat on the sofa and tried to get enough rest rather than laying on the bed. He noticed Jason had a fever, and he called the doctors.
He watched over him like his own, but when Jason turned around, Nicklaus noticed a tiny birthmark on Jason’s neck. It was the same birthmark as his on his neck.
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
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
Elena’s POV:Its been a few weeks, my biological father had been buried of course without my step sister and my step mother. They had been on the run and nobody knew where they both were. 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.
The wedding day.I stood in front of the mirror, smiling broadly as I tilted my head downward and admired the beautiful white wedding dress that glittered under the soft lighting on my body.My dress, a long white mermaid dress, was decorated with white glitter. My long brown hair was styled in soft waves and packed in a huge bun pinned with sparkling hairpins. The tiny curls in my hair decorated my face as they rested on my shoulders.I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life. Getting married to Nicklaus and starting over again. Everybody deserves a second chance. Nicklaus, my mother Anna, and Nicklaus’s father.This is so wonderful. I have found my true love, and I will never give room for anybody to sabotage this happiness. Jason and Amalia walked with us down the hall. They were also dressed in their beautiful wedding attire. I had adopted Amelia to be my daughter, and it is indeed a blessing. Just
Elena’s POV:I stood in front of the mirror, smiling broadly as I tilted my head downward and admired the beautiful white wedding dress that glittered under the soft lighting on my body.My dress, a long white mermaid dress adorned with silver crystals, matched my pale skin. The corset clinched at the waist for a flattering fit that revealed my curves, with a decorative bow strap.My lhair was styled in soft waves and packed in a bridal style.My makeup highlighting my cheekbones, and my red lipstick made me look flawless. I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life, Caleb, and step into my long-awaited freedom. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. “This is a day of new beginnings,” I muttered silently with a broad smile.For so long, I had followed my father's orders and done everything he demanded. Working tirelessly for him and not having to pursue my dream.Today marks the end of an era. I'll finally g
Elena’s POV:Wearing a white robe, I stood on my balcony and watched the sun set below the sky, casting a golden light on the whole city. The day gradually became dark. Tomorrow will be the most important day of my life. It's going to be my wedding day!I was filled with so much excitement. I walked into the room and laid on my bed, feeling the warm sheet under me after a very nice spa treatment. I heard a knock on my door. “Hi Elena,” Sarah, my stepsister, greeted me with a smile on her face as she walked into my room. “Hi Sarah, what’s up?” I responded, sitting upright. I rested my head on the headboard. I felt surprised to see Sarah walk into my room. Sarah’s facial expression softened as she approached me. “Elena, I know that we aren't as close as sisters should be, but I want you to know that I am sincerely happy for you. Congratulations sister. You are going to become Caleb’s wife tomorrow,” she smiled. “Soon to me, Mrs. Smith.”Sarah is my stepsister, but we are completel
Elena’s POV: My whole family stood in the room, staring at. I could see the stern look on their faces. The guests are waiting, and everybody is beginning to talk. Sarah glared at me with intense hate. Her first tightened by her side, and she clenched her jaw. I walked up to her.“Sarah, we were together. Please tell them I didn’t do anything. Tell them I was drunk. I was waiting for you when a man tried to harass me, and this man in the picture saved me.” I pleaded, my voice trembled, and I felt a huge lump in my throat.Sarah didn't say a word. She glared at me intensively with so much hate in her eyes.“How am I supposed to know? I left you to use the bathroom, and you ran off with another guy. Who does that? How could you’ve been heartless to Caleb? He has been there for you through thick and thin,” she voiced out on top of her voice. Her voice echoed in the room.Her eyes were filled with tears, and she gave me a daring look. “Yes, the photos are horrible. His hands were on my
Elena’s POV:“What? No! Dad, you can't do this to me!" I protested. My heart raced as the reality of his words sank in. I felt a huge lump in my throat.My dad stood there, unmoved, and listened to my objections. "Elena, we don't have a choice," he replied, his voice firm. "This is for the good of the family. You've left me no other option," he stated.I started panting, and tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. My chest rose and fell as my breathing increased, and I began gasping for air.“No! I can talk to Caleb. We can fix this. What about my dreams? My goals? Mr. Coleman already stated earlier that his son needed to get an heir so that he could hand over the company to him. What does that make me? A baby-making machine? Why will I get married to a crippled man?” I protested. “Don’t you…” My dad cuts in, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath before speaking again. “You are going to marry Nicklaus Coleman this morning, whether you like it or not,” he said angrily.“I don'
