Chapter 58

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 is where I am right now.

All I want is for her to give me an heir, and I will divorce her, and we will both go our separate ways. 

I gradually got out of bed and locked myself in the bathroom. I had a hot shower as I tried to process everything that had happened. These were strong allegations, and I can't let go.

It would be very hard, and I am not the type of man to forgive. 

When the investigations are finally concluded, I will know what to do with her. If she conceives before then, I would not throw her in jail. I would make her give birth and take the baby from her, but if she is found guilty and she also doesn't conceive, then I will throw her in jail.

Elena is going to feel my wrath. She will feel my distance, and I will only use her for my pleasure and nothing else. 

After having my bath. I changed into a black tailored trouser and a black short. The first two buttons were open, and the sleeves were rolled up.

  

I brushed my hair and slipped into my shoes. I headed outside, and I saw Elena sitting on the bed and resting her head on her headboard.

“Good morning,” she said. But I didn't respond to her greetings.

I walked into my office and started getting some work done. I did some Zoom meetings and made sure all the necessary things were available for the ongoing project.

“Make sure the products are standard, and we will fix a date for shipping. We need to be done with his project before the year runs out,” I ordered.

After a while on my laptop, the call ended, and I went through the new blueprints on my laptop. I wasn't concentrating. I tried to engage in a lot of work activities. I tried to distract myself from thinking so much about it, but I couldn't.

I was restless, and I stood up from my chair to take a break. I walked around the office and grabbed a stick of cigarettes. I tried to light it up, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

My door was swung open, and she walked into the office. She was wearing a long coat, and she loosened it, and it fell to the ground. She wore long, sedy lingerie that made me turn on instantly.

She walked up to me slowly and planted a gentle kiss on my lips. “Do you miss me, Daddy?” she asked. I closed my eyes, and all I could think of was Elena.

I opened my eyes and fixed my eyes on her. She reached out to my shirt and started removing my button. She planted gentle kisses on my neck. 

Immediately, I held her hands and removed her body from my mind. “What's wrong?” she asked, fixing her gaze on me.

“Leave,” I said.

“What do you mean?” she asked, narrowing her eyes.

“I said leave,” I repeated, my voice rising in anger.

She gave me a daring look. “Fuck you, Nicklaus. I see you are not ready to get over your wife.” She spat and turned away to leave. She reached for the floor and grabbed her coat.

“Whenever you have gotten to your senses and you realise that you can't get enough of me, give me a call,” she said.

She wrapped her coat around her body and brushed her hair with her hands. She gave me her last look before heading outside my office, banging on tthe door behind her. 

“Fuck!” I shouted.

What is going on with me? What can't I get over this woman?
