Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 53
Elena’s POV:What is my stepsister doing here with my husband? He couldn't even resist her touch. He left me alone in this house, and the first thing he could do when he arrived was to find comfort in the hands of another woman.How could they both do this to me? I wondered if they had been seeing each other behind my back. My heart began pounding hard against my chest, and I pinched myself a little to see that I was not dreaming. I wanted to wake up so bad if it was a dream because I couldn't stand it, but it wasn't.I inhaled deeply, my jaw clenched, and I felt the urge to confront both of them, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. I waited to see what his next action would be. If he was going to stop her or not. After a moment, I managed to gather the courage to walk into the bar, but I frozen at that spot when Sarah made erotic advances towards Nicklaus.Tears gathered in my eyes, and my lips were pressed in a thin line as I tried to hold back my tears from falling. I was fil

I watched the sunrise, and I stood elegantly at the sky-view windows in my apartment, looking through the whole city of New York. The Coleman Company was a tall skyscraper that seemed to stand out among the rest of the buildings. A building that showed power and wealth. I could feel anger, resentment, and a deep desire to get revenge. I would do anything to make sure that I take back everything this family had taken from me.I held a glass of whisky and dragged my cigarettes in my mouth, puffing the smoke in the air. The smoke curled around me and scattered in the air. “It's time to get closer to the Coleman family. Time isn't on our side anymore.” I muttered silently to myself. “I have been on a low for years. I won't keep quiet forever.”I wondered how they would build their trust in me without figuring out my real identity. I won't let them take everything. Not again. The memory of my past with the late Mr. Coleman was still fresh in my head. A painful reminder of betrayal and

Nicklaus’s POV:I went into the room, and I recalled what had happened that day at the office.****My eyes widened in disbelief, and my jaw dropped. “What do you mean, my wife Elena? Why would she put her life and the baby at risk?” I snarled.“Sir, that is what the suspect confessed, and there is proof when she was speaking to him while everyone was busy. He confirmed that was the order she gave him.” me, John Spike. I looked at him and shook my head. "No, this isn't true. Tell me you are lying.” I spoke. I slammed my desk hard and stood up. “No way. This can't be happening. Elena did this on purpose to get rid of the pregnancy.” I growled. “I must get to the root of this. Let's go to the station.” I spoke and walked out of the office.Mr. John, the police investigator, followed me from behind. My heart was pounding while we got into the elevator, and my fists tightened at my side. I couldn't wait to get my hand in the waiter. I was already planning how to strangle his life out of
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 56
Elena’s POV:I woke up the next morning. My eyes were puffy and red. I didn't have anybody to console me. With what I was going through, I couldn't believe that Sarah would feed Nicklaus those lies about me. How did she get proof to convince him? She must have planned his whole thing right from the onset, just like she did with Caleb. Now she had gotten to Nicklaus. I needed him now more than ever. I felt so alone. I lay in bed, and tears began to roll down, dropping on the bed sheet. I sniffed and wiped my tears after some time. This is the time that I have to be strong. I shouldn't let what happened weigh me down. What Nicklaus was accusing me of would not turn out to be real because I have no idea about it. Getting married to him was the best thing that ever happened to me. I let out a frustrated groan and rolled out of bed. I will go and have a conversation with Nicklaus later in the day. I can't sit down and watch things go south, and all I will do is cry like a weakling. No
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 57
Elena’s POV:Nicklaus fixed his eyes on me, and his eyes never left mine. He stared at me and started walking closer to me. I couldn't control myself and get my eyes off him. He looked so hot, and I felt like kissing him. I didn't take a step backwards or forward. I just stood frozen and waited for his reaction. He stood close to me, and I became scared. His eyes were dark, and they bore into mine. I took some steps backwards and continued until my back rested on the door. He stared deeply into my eyes, and his facial expression turned serious. “What do you want to talk about?” He asked, and his voice was deep and stern. He looked at me with so much hatred.My eyes were fixed on his lips, and I was lost in my thoughts. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words wouldn't come out of my throat. It was as if I was losing it. I couldn't control myself anymore. “Elena.” He called my name, and I returned to reality. I quickly shifted my eyes to the other side of the room. “Uh, I,” I stu

Nicklaus’s POV:I regained consciousness and woke up from my slumber. I slowly opened my eyes and woke up from my sleep. It was still dark, and Elena was still lying on my chest.I realised how badly I had missed her touch. I had missed waking up next to her and making love to her. She looked so innocent, yet I was feeling some kind of way. I remembered what happened between us last night, and I didn't really feel guilty. At some point, I was scared not to make her feel any pain. I wanted her. I wanted to make love to her, but when I heard the accusations against her, I couldn't help but have a rethink. She had changed me in so many ways that I could not imagine. She gave me light and joy. Her presence gave me peace. Which was why I couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong or if I had done anything bad to trigger her. I had grown to love Elena, but I am slowly hating her right now. The more I looked at her, the more I felt hatred. There is a thin line between hatred, and that i

Elena’s POV:I woke up in the middle of the night to an empty bed. I turned on the headlamp, hoping that Nicklaus would be on the bed with me, but he wasn't. It's been a week since I set my eyes on Nicklaus. He hadn't come to the house, and the last time I saw him was when we last made love. I thought things were going to get better after that night, but they only became worse.I was empty, and I needed someone to fill me. I turned and moved to his side of the bed. I held his pillow tightly to me. I perceived his soft scent on the pillow.I remembered his face and his sparkling eyes. They were his smile and his deep voice.I had missed him so much, and I am craving his presence. I remembered all the times we were happy. When we just got married and how close we became. I remember how he would tease me and always become jealous when he saw another man close to me. I remembered how we made love on our honeymoon and how our bond started becoming strong.I have been doing everything a

Sarah’s POV:I stirred on the bed with a wide smile on my face. I woke up in the morning and stretched happily in bed. I woke up feeling happy because all my plans had been falling into place.I rolled out of bed and dressed in a white knee-length dress. My make-up was flawless, and my hair was neatly stretched. I watched as the maid walked inside my room to do her morning cleaning and prepared my bath. “Hey, go get me a glass of fresh orange drink before you start cleaning,” I ordered. I couldn't contain my happiness anymore. I was filled with so much joy. I and my mother are also taking a bold step today, and that will completely ruin Elena’s life.I must stop at nothing to see that she is thrown out, and I will become the real Mrs. Nicklaus Coleman. I stood up, raised my shoulders high, walked to the sky-view mirror, and admired the beautiful compound. “It is indeed a bright and sunny day, isn't it, Marina?” I asked, turning back to the maid with a smile. “Yes, ma'am,” she sai

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.

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

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.

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. I want to wait here. I know Sarah will come back here,” I said. “It's fin

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
