Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 39: Academy Awards.
Elena’s POV:It was the day of the Los Angeles Academy Award, and I was so excited. 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. I guess he will be back soon. I missed him, and he called me from time to time. I sat comfortably in the chair, sipping a glass of fresh juice and snacking on

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

Elena’s POV:After a short drive, we arrived at the villa. We came out of the car and walked to the red carpet with Nicklaus’ bodyguards shielding us. The camera clicked, and light flashed from different angles. Nicklaus placed his hands on my waist as we walked through the red carpet, making our way to the red carpet rolled on the floor. My palms became sweaty as we approached the crows. I exhaled and tried to calm my nerves.“I'm getting nervous,” I whispered to him. He leaned in and kissed me on the forehead. “I know people are watching us. Just be calm and be yourself. I am right here with you,” he said, assuring me.“Are you ready?” he asked.Smiling nervously, I nodded in agreement. I have only seen this on TV and every social media site; never in my life did I think I would experience such.We walked down the red carpet to the entrance. The paparazzi wouldn't stop taking pictures of our every move, and they started throwing questions at us. Nicklaus remained calm as he plac

Elena’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning when I felt the sun's rays, and I became warm in Nicklaus's arms. I felt warm for a few minutes and decided to cuddle up with Nicklaus while taking a deep breath. I opened my eyes with a warm smile, and my gaze fell on Nicklaus. His eyes were opened, and he had been staring at me. “Good morning, beautiful.” He greeted me warmly. “Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?” I asked, and my voice was low and husky. “Yes, I did, and you?” he asked.“I did,”“And the baby?”“Very well.”It is a beautiful Friday morning, and I feel very energetic. I stirred, yawned, and stretched my body a little. Nicklaus and I gladly rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I wanted to exercise a little, but I felt tired. Since I have been attending birth class this week, I can skip today and have a great time. I walked to the door barefoot and splashed water on my face. I observed my skin in the mirror and noticed how radiant it looked. I ha

Elena’s POV:I was surprised to see them this early in the morning, but I gestured for them to join me. “Come join me for breakfast.I was interested in knowing if they visited this morning. I watched them as they walked elegantly, carefully swaying their hips from side to side.“Sit down.” I spoke and gestured for them to sit down. The chefs served us breakfast, and the atmosphere was weird.I became curious, and I narrowed my eyes. “What brings you here?” I asked, breaking the silence. My stepmother looked at me and reached for my hands to gently squeeze them. Her eye fell on my baby bump.“Elena, I am so sorry for everything that happened. We wanted to save you from the disgrace of Caleb leaving you on your wedding day,” she said.“Mother, that's enough. I know you did it for Dad’s company, and it's fine.” I spoke.She nodded her head nervously. “Yes, that was also included, but look at you. You are very happy right now. I am so happy for you, Elena. Please forgive me,” she plead

Elena’s POV:After dinner, I felt happy and energetic. I didn't want them to leave. I wanted them to stay back so we could chat all night long, but they had to leave. Nicklaus walked me upstairs, and we had a hot shower together. He helped me scrub my hair and my back, and I also did the same thing. I cleaned my body with a white fluffy towel and changed into sexy long lingerie. I did my nighttime skincare routine and packed my hair in a messy bun.Nicklaus slipped into grey shorts, and we lay on the bed to rest. I rested my head on his chest and my hand on my stomach. It was as if something peaceful touched my soul. “I don't like the idea of attending the party at my parent's house,” I said, looking up to him. “Why?” Nicklaus asked.“I don't know. Something feels off,” I said. “Well, you should trust your instincts, and if you feel like something is wrong, don't worry yourself about it. But remember, the party is for you, and you can't miss it,” he said.I nodded my head in agre

Elena’s POV:It was already evening, and I felt anxious as I got myself prepared for the party at my parents's house. I sat in the closet and watched myself in the mirror. I exhaled deeply. “You can do this, Elena,” I muttered silently, trying to calm myself. I applied black mascara, which made my lashes long and thick. I also applied a little pink blush on my cheeks to frame my cheekbones before carefully adding the highlighter to give my skin a sparkling glow.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and admired myself. I never imagined that a day would come when I would look this pretty and live this kind of good life.Despite everything I have been through, Nicklaus has indeed changed my life for the better. He has been supportive and caring all along. Now I can't imagine my life without Nicklaus by my side.I selected Nicklaus's outfit and picked a brown Armani suit with a white inner. He slipped into it, and I gently fixed his cufflinks.He distracted me by rubbing his thumb aga

Sarah’s POV:The evening drew close, and I couldn't wait for the party tonight. I sat on my bed with my legs crossed and watched as my maid carefully arranged my outfit. The show and purse were neatly arranged. I had been waiting for this event for so long. I contemplated the events of the last few days. It has been really suffocating for me, and when I saw Elena pregnant, These past few months have been hell, and tonight will be a night to put an end to it. My mother walked into my room, leaving the door open, which was a sign for the maid to leave so we could have a private chat. “Excuse me, ma'am,” the maid said, and she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. “Hey, mom! How are you preparing for tonight?” I asked. “Everything is going smoothly. The furniture is all set,” she said excitedly. “How about the substance? Is it ready?” My motherI nodded my head and reached for my purse. I opened it and showed it to her. I grinned and, at the same time, pressed my lip

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.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 192
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.

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
