Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 33
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

Elena’s POV:It is another lovely day. I woke up very early in the morning to do some exercises and stretch my legs. The antenatal classes have been helpful, and I have been feeling at ease for some time now. I finished my morning exercise when the sun had risen, and I walked into the house to have a nice shower. Nicklaus helped me in the shower.I went downstairs and tied my hair up in a messy bun. I perceived the smell of bacon and fried fish, which made me even more hungry.“Good morning, Madam,” the chefs greeted. “Good morning,” I said back as I sat at the kitchen counter. They all fixed their eyes on me, and I raised an eyebrow. “Why are y'all staring?” I asked, placing my hands under my chin. “Do I look like a mess?” I askedOne of the chefs nodded her head. “Quite the contrary, ma'am. Your skin glows, and you look heavenly. I rolled my eyes. “That's what you get when you are being taken care of,” I said, and we all laughed. She stood up to pour me a glass of fresh juice,

Elena’s POV:My heart skipped a bit, and I stood frozen. Zoey was in front of me as she chatted about the whole day's activities, not knowing that I had been behind. My jaw dropped, and my eyes widened.“Elena, why did you stop?” Zoey asked, and she turned back to me. I decided to quickly walk away from him when he held my hands. “Elena, we need to talk,” he said. I quickly removed my hand from his grip and said, "Stay away from me. There is nothing to talk about.” I spoke and wanted to walk away when he held my hands. Zoey quickly ran to me and saw that it was Caleb that I was talking to. I struggled to remove my hand from his grip. “Let go of her now, you scumbag?” Zoey ordered, her voice rising. Caleb gave her a daring look and turned to me. He released my hands, and I wanted to walk away from him as quickly as I could. When he tried to hold my hand again, I raised my hand and landed it on his face, giving him a dirty slap.“I never want to cross paths with you. Let me the fu

Elena’s POV:I woke up early in the morning and carefully stirred in the bed. I noticed that the bed was empty, so I opened my eyes. I remembered that I had fallen asleep in Nicklaus's arms, and he wasn't in bed. I slowly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, hoping to find him in there since it was still too early to go to work. I swung the door open and scanned the room, but Nicklaus was nowhere in the room. “Nicklaus?” I called out while walking out of the bathroom. I walked out of the bedroom and headed downstairs. I could perceive the nice aroma of an omelette and bacon. My stomach growled, but I ignored the hunger and searched for Nicklaus. I walked into the kitchen to see a completely different person in the kitchen; it was Nicklaus. He was dressed in his vest and shorts, which revealed his muscles. He wears an apron.I narrowed my eyes and moved closer. “Nicklaus? I called. He turned around and looked at me with a wide grin on his face, and his eyes sparked. “Good

Never in my life did I ever imagine that I would be attending such high-profile events filled with rich and famous people.My stepmother had always made it known to me that I was a nobody. I thought my Luce had ended when I was forced to get married to Nicklahs, and I never knew that my life was just starting. I was so excited as the stylist, the makeup artists, and the rest of the team arrived. They prepared me for the event tonight. I watched them as they roamed around the room, using their skilled hands to transform me into the epitome of beauty. My maid, Irina, stood beside me, making sure that everything was going smoothly, and provided me with everything I needed. Nicklaus had not returned from work. He had important meetings to attend.

Nicklaus’s POV:I stood in front of the door, my eyes fixed on the grand staircase, as I waited for Elena to come downstairs. After a few minutes, she elegantly walked down the stairs. Her presence commanded her attention, and my gaze was on her. She looked so beautiful and attractive in that red dress. She is a real beauty, and I never regretted making her my wife. She walked down the stairs with a broad smile on her face as our eyes met. The bright light from the chandelier made her look like the spotlight, and I became speechless. She has always been a beautiful woman; right from the first day I set my eyes on her at the altar. I am glad she will be the mother of my kids with these beautiful genes. Her black hair was styled perfectly, and her makeup was natural and flawless. I patiently waited for her to come downstairs when I walked up to her. I smiled at her and said, “You are so beautiful, my wife.” I spoke, and my voice was so audible that my workers could hear me. They al

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

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 am sure Sarah took my child,” I shouted.Nicklaus and Sam walked up to me and said, "Please Elena. Let's get home and wait for the authorities. You have to trust me on this, I assure you. We will find your son,” Nicklaus spoke, and I became calm instantly.“How can I go home when my boy is missing?” I cried out.I held onto Nicklaus, and my head rested on his chest as I sobbed. “I want my boy,” I cried out.Nicklaus stroked his hands through my hair. “He will be found; you have to trust me,” he spoke. “I don't want to go home.

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.

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.

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
