Sarah’s POV:
“It's not quite long since you came back from your honeymoon. I think you should do a pregnancy test, ma'am.” I heard noises coming from Elena's room.
My eyes widened in shock, and I felt my jaw clench in my face. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. The word repeated itself in my mind. How could Elena be pregnant so soon?
Pregnancy? Elena? This is not good for me. No, this had ruined my plans.
Immediately my facial expression hardened. It was too hard to keep smiling. I just faked a smile and walked into the room to catch up with Elena.
*** Earlier this morning****
Earlier today, I woke up very early in the morning, and I was determined to pay a visit to Elena. I wanted to see if she was truly happy, just like what I read in the blogs, or if she had been in pain.
I was aware that her husband was a billionaire’s heir, but I couldn't believe that he was healthy. All this time, I thought he was crippled, just like his old father. I lived my life full of regret, knowing fully well that I would have to take Elena’s place at that wedding.
Even when my father discussed Colaman’s proposal a few months ago, I couldn't imagine myself getting married to him, so I set Elena up.
“It would not be good if I went to the house and found Elena happy,” I spoke to my mother.
“Well, I hope she is not,” my mother responded and rolled her eyes.
I tried to snatch Caleb away from Elena, but I guess he didn't want me. Things never worked well for us, so I decided to move on.
I stood up from my bed and did my morning workout to keep my body in shape. After so much exercise, I walked into the shower
After a few minutes, I got out of the shower and cleaned my body with a fluffy white towel while sitting in the closet and watching my reflection in the mirror.
I styled my hair perfectly, and my makeup was flawless. I slipped into a white short dress and nice red heels. I picked up a red Hermes bag and stormed out of the room.
I walked into my car and zoomed off. I knew that I had written to her, but I did it to save my father’s company. I just wanted to see how she was doing and know if she was doing better than me, but that would be impossible.
Even if Nicklaus is a rich and handsome billionaire, I am very sure he rejects her.
After a short drive, I arrived at the huge man, and I stepped out of the car in the driveway. I was so eager to see Elena. I couldn't wait to get into the house and see her.
I was in awe of the mansion. This is my first time here, and it is indeed five times bigger than my father’s house. I looked around and observed the beautiful and serene environment.
As I entered the house, I couldn't help but think about how expensive the house looked. The expensive chandeliers and the expensive furniture.
My hard game, my strategies, and my manipulation had all favoured her. She had won the prize, and I was left with nothing. How did I know to do a proper finding about Nicklaus Coleman before convincing my dad to marry Elema off to him?
I admired the luxury of the building and the beautiful interiors as the butler walked me into the house.
I thought about how different my life would be if I had been the one who married Nicklaus. I would have been the wife of the richest man in the whole world and would be living in this grand mansion with everyone at my feet.
I thought about all the power and influence that I would have. I would have luxury cars, designer clothes, and VIP treatment anywhere in the world.
The butler was about to knock on Elena’s door. A voice called him from the way, “Mr. Mike, please, I need your assistance.” One of the maids called..
Mr. Mike turned to me. “This is the room. Just go in and see her; I have something else to attend to,” he said, leaving me alone in the hallway.
I was about to push the door open when I heard voices coming from the room. I steady my ears close to the door.
“It's not quite long since you came back from your honeymoon. I think you should do a pregnancy test, ma'am.”
Elena’s POV:I wanted to object to Irina's suggestion, but I was caught off guard when the door was swung open. I turned around to see who it was, expecting to see Zoey, who had just returned to Los Angeles.I couldn't believe it was Sarah standing in the doorway. I looked at her like I had seen a ghost.What could she be doing here? None of my family cared to visit me ever since I got married and moved in here.I stood up from the bed, my heart beating fast as I looked at her. What is she doing here? Is she up to something again?"Sarah? What are you doing here?" I asked calmly.I remembered how she set me up on my wedding day and ruined everything, but that her plan made me happy.Her facial expression was mixed with sadness and regret, and I frowned at her and walked to the other side of the room.I looked through the window. I wasn't ready to have any conversation with her, and at the same time I couldn't send her out of my house. She slowly walked into the room and stood close t
Elena’s POV:“Zoey.” I called and wrapped my arms around her, and she hugs me tightly. “How have you been?” I nodded my head and smiled widely. “I am doing just fine.”Zoey turned in Sarah’s direction, who was standing on the other side of the room. “What are you doing here again? Haven't you caused enough harm already?” She asked, her voice stern.“I know I am not proud of what I did, and that is why I came here to apologize. I did it for the company, for Caleb’s heart,” she said.“Don't you dare mention that name again? I forbid you to mention that name where Elena is.” Zoey spoke, her voice rising.I walked up to Zoey and held her hands. “Zoey, common. It's a thing of the past, and I have moved on with my life. The most important thing here is that she has realised what she did and has come to apologise." I spoke calmly and gently. Zoey exhaled deeply, and she turned to me and said, “As long as you are now happy, that is what matters right now.” She spoke and reached for my hands
Nicklaus’ POV: Two days ago.It had been a long day at work for me. I sat behind the desk and operated my laptop. I stood up and walked around to see how the new application design was carried out.I and my team worked hand in hand to see that everything was perfect and going smoothly. I have been working to bring the company to its feet and maintain the position of being the first in the world.I got carried away with work, and before I knew it, the day had passed. I wasn't supposed to take so long, but business had to be done. I had to still maintain my position. I didn't want to mix business with you, please, but I found myself missing Elena. I couldn't wait to return to Los Angeles. I had been thinking about her since I travelled. I wondered how she was doing and if she was in good shape. I couldn't wait to see her. When I spoke with her last night, I noticed that she was sounding weak and tired, so I allowed her to sleep, hoping that she would regain her strength today. I hop
Elena’s POV:I held the test strips in my hands as I looked at the result. Zoey and Irina gave me a questioning look. I looked at them in confusion, and the words couldn't come out of my throat. I could not believe what I was seeing. It was as if it were all a dream. This is what Nicklaus and my family ever wanted. “Elena!” I heard a sound coming from the room. I raised my eyes because the voice was familiar and the door was swung open. It was Nicklaus. He quickly opened the door to run to me, but he froze when he saw what was in my hand. My breath ceased as I looked at him. My heart was beating fast, and my excitement was growing. “Did you?” he asked while he stuttered. “Did you take the test?” he asked. I nodded my head with a smile on my lips as I pressed my lips into a thin line. “I did the test,” I said. “What?” he asked. His gaze moved to the test strips. “I did the test.” I spoke out loud, and Nicklaus watched me in disbelief. I showed him the result, and his eyes widen
Sarah's POV:My heart was filled with so much, and I was getting frustrated. My blood was boiling through my veins and felt like I would explode any minute. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. Elena looked happy and glowed. She was living her best life while I was here, jubilating that she was in a hell hole. I could not believe she and Nicklaus turned out to be in love and built a very strong relationship. I had separated her from Caleb because I knew that he would make her happy, and now Nicklaus is making her happier. I regretted my actions. Nicklaus is even more handsome in person. I had been dreaming of ending with such a man, and now Elena had him to herself. Nicklaus is very handsome and has fallen in love with Elena. I saw all of their activities on the blogs, but I thought the bloggers were lying. My blood was boiling, and I felt very angry. If I had known, I would have gotten married to Nicklaus. I would have convinced my father to introduce me to the Coleman s
Elena’s POV:I woke up the next day in Nicklaus’ arms. He had been very happy about the news, and he had been pampering me since yesterday. I slowly walked out of bed as I felt nauseous. I ran to the bathroom to throw up, and Nicklaus followed me to the bathroom.He held my hair up and rubbed my back. I have been throwing up since yesterday. I sat on the toilet seat and rested for a while. Nicklaus helped clean me up, and he decided to bathe me. He prepared the bathtub and filled it with nice essential oils and some rose petals.“You are going to be just fine; just let me help you relax,” he said, and he reached for my hands. I relaxed my head on his legs as he massaged my scalp. The rest of my body was in the water. After some time, he washed my hair and scrubbed my body. The hot water was so relaxing, and I began to regain my strength. He turned on the warm water, which cascaded down my body from head to toe. He gently rinsed me off. His hands were so soft, and he was gentle with
Elena’s pov: I slowly woke up from my sleep when I felt the sun's rays on my skin. My stomach ached a little, and my feet were sore. The baby bump is beginning to show. It's been 9 weeks since I found out I am pregnant, and that means I am 12 weeks gone. Nicholas has been kind and caring to me. He always watched out, and he was protective and possessive. I had been going for antenatal care, but today was my rest day. I yawned and slowly opened my heavy eyes. I sat upright and rested my head on the headboard. My eyes widened when I saw Nicklaus sitting at the end of the bed, staring at me. “Damn, you startled me. How long have you been watching me?” I spoke.“A couple of hours,” he responded with a wide grin on his face. I glanced at the wall clock, and it was almost noon. “You should be at work. I spoke as I yawned.“I just wanted to make sure that you had a wonderful rest. Did you sleep well?” he asked. I nodded my head. “Now, come have your bath,” he said, gently taking me ou
Nicklaus’ POV:I was seated at my desk, discussing work projects and business transactions with the board of directors. I could hear how busy the office was today. It was a hectic season. Phones rang and were answered continuously, with papers shuffling and a lot of work going on. The new project had led to everybody having a very busy schedule. Andre, one of my close friends and a business partner, paid me a visit, and we discussed the ongoing project and our next appointment. We also chatted about our personal lives and caught up on a lot. There was a gentle door, and I looked up and said, "Come in.” I spoke, and it was swung open by Joe. He walked inside the office and approached me with an envelope in his hand. “I apologise for the interruption, sir; this came in for you,” he said, extending his hands to pass me the envelope. “An invitation card to the Los Angeles Academy Awards,” he stated. I looked through the card and read the content. “The Los Angeles Academy Awards,”I
