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.

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.

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?

Elena’s POV:The driver drove us to the house, and we left without saying goodbye. I was feeling uneasy, and I just wanted to lay in bed and have a good rest. My energy reduced, and I rested my head on Nicklaus’ chest. While I tried to close my eyes to get some rest, I couldn't wait to get home. I was feeling so uncomfortable and my stomach was starting to ache a little.We arrived at the mansion, and the driver parked in front of the building. Nicklaus got out of the car and helped me get out too. He held my hands, and we walked slowly into the building. I couldn't take it anymore. I was too weak to climb the stairs, so I sat on the couch in the living room. Nicklaus's facial expression turned serious, and he squatted in front of me. “Elena, are you sure you are doing okay? Would you like me to take you upstairs?” he asked. I shook my head. “I just need to catch my breath,” I said, closing my eyes and resting my head on the couch. I took in a few deep breaths to calm myself down,

Nicklaus’s POV:My eyes widened, and my heart was pounding hard in my chest. I didn't even know what to do.“Elena, please stay with me.” I pleaded. I became scared as I held Elena in my hands. Her eyes slowly closed, and she passed out. The workers had already been dismissed from their quarters, and it was just Mr. Mike. We hurriedly carried her to the car. What could have happened to her? She was fine earlier. I could see tiny blood stains on her dress, and I became very scared. I do not know much about pregnancy, but I know that it has never been a good sign. It had never been something good.My hI lost control of myself, and I didn't know where to start. Tears were starting to gather in my eyes. It was as if I was losing it, and my limbs were numb. “What could have gone wrong? Elena? Please don't do this to me,” I pleaded. I started to panic, and I looked around in confusion. I have done my best to see that everything is going fine. I had given her all the care and attention.

Elena’s POV:I slowly regained consciousness and blink my eyes open. Everywhere seemed to be blurry, and my body felt numb. I tried to look around and understand my body, but I was too weak to do that. I tilted my head sideways until I could strain my eyes. There was someone sitting beside me. I could hear the silent noises as if he were calling my name, and his hands reached out to me gently. “Elena, Elena. Can you see me? How are you doing?” he asked. His voice was calm and soft, and the person reached for my hand.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words wouldn't come out of my mouth. My throat was dry, and my voice was hoarse.“What happened?” I asked sluggishly, and my voice was husky. I looked around to see that I was in a completely different environment."Easy, Elena, easy... Take it easy.” The voice murmured in a gentle tone. “Nicklaus, what's going on?” I asked. Trying to keep my cool and understand the situation.I struggled to pay attention to what was going on with m

“I'm becoming impatient, Nicklaus,” I shouted, and my mind was already racing with a lot of questions.“How is the baby doing? Where is the doctor?” I asked. But Nicklaus kept quiet. I waited for him to say something, but his silence was killing me already. “Tell me what is going on, please,” my eyes tearing up. Nicklaus leaned close to me. He didn't mention a word to me after throwing so many questions at him. His puffy eyes turned red, and water gathered in his eyes. Just then, I knew that everything wasn't well. He tried to speak, to say something, but the words wouldn't come out of his throat. I quickly removed my hands from Nivklaus’s grip and slid them onto my abdomen. I could feel the emptiness in my stomach. I felt nothing but pain. My heart was beating very fast, and I began to panic. “Nicklaus, say something. I'm pleading. I am in pain. Just say something.” I spoke, my voice trembling. His silence had already given me the message, and I was covered in shock. Fear gripp

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.

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?

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
