Sarah’s POV:
I woke up very early, when the sun had not risen, and dressed in black trousers and a black jacket. My hair was packed into a sleek bun.
I grabbed my car keys and walked downstairs. Ever since I noticed that Nicklaus doesn't stay at his house most of the time, I have been stalking him and watching his every move.
He had been called earlier and threatened to call off the deal with my father’s company if the allegations about Elena were true.
I have to know where Nicklaus is before I do my part to go see him. After a short drive, I arrived at the estate
I turned off my car engine and sat in there alone. I lit my cigarettes and kept puffing to see if Nicklaus would come out of the house.
After a few moments, I heard the iron gate and an SUV zoom out of the house. At that point, I knew it was Nicklaus since I saw him arrive at the house at night in this same car.
I quietly followed him without making it look suspicious. It was a long drive, and after a while, he arrived at a penthouse.
I watched him closely, quietly observing with a calculative look on my face, “So this is where you have been.” I spoke and smiled cruelly.
When everywhere was quiet, I turned on my engine and went back to my house. I quickly took off my clothes and got into the hot bath, which Marina had prepared for me.
I let the warm water soak my skin and relax my muscles. I prepared myself for tonight and plotted every move in my head.

I stood in my Skyview window, watching the sunset while I dragged my cigarettes and puffed them in the air. I watched the smoke curl up. My mother stood beside me, and she sipped the glass of whisky in her hand.
She let out a cold smile as she turned to me. “It's time,” she said.
I nodded my head with a smirk on my face. I walked into the closet and dressed in a red sexy lingerie that was eye-catching. It revealed my curves and made my thighs firm.
I let my hair cascaded down my back while I applied light makeup and red lipstick.
I slipped into a red bottom stiletto, and I wrapped my body in a long black coat."This is my lucky night.” I said that and drove to the gate.
The security man stopped me, and when he recognised my face, he let me in.
I stopped in front of the building and walked into the house; everywhere was dark and quiet. I looked around, wondering where Nicklaus would be, when I heard a little house of clicking glasses and walked in that direction.
I slowly opened the door to see Nicklaus sitting on a chair with a bottle of whisky in his hands. He raised his head and fixed his eyes on me.
“Who are you, and what do you want?” Nicklaus asked.
I slowly walked forward with so much confidence. “It's Sarah, Nicklaus,” I said.
He looked tipsy, and I quickly grabbed the opportunity. “Elena told me everything that had happened with the marriage and about my father's company, so I quickly came to talk to you,” I said.
“There is nothing to talk about; y’all are good diggers,” he said.
"No, Nicklaus, you are mistaken. I want us to talk about things out and find the right way.” I spoke, and he raised the bottle of whisky to drink from it, and I firmly reached to his hands and took it from you.
“You shouldn't gulp this like this; let me get you a glass.” I spoke and walked to the counter. I picked two glass cups and dropped a pill into Nicklaus’s. I turned around and handed him the glass. “Have this; let me serve you.” I spoke seductively.
I poured him a drink in his cup, and I poured it in mine. I watched him gulp it down immediately. I was pleased with the outcome.
After a few minutes, he started acting weak, and I quickly stood up from the chair.
“Let me help you,” I said, and I walked him upstairs to his room. I unbuttoned my coat.
He collapsed on the bed, and his eyes landed on my cleavage. He could not stop staring.
I leaned close to him and whispered to him, “You like what you see?” I asked.
I stood up and removed the coat from my body as he kept watching. I removed the red lingerie from my body, but before I could say anything, Nicklaus fell asleep.
“He must have had enough to drink,” I said, letting out a frustrated sigh. “I can't let my plans be proven abortive. Immediately, I undressed him and lay close to him before falling asleep.
Nicklaus’s POV:I walked into my office in the early hours of the morning and sat in my chair. I let out a sigh and rested my back on the chair. I placed my hand on my face and covered my face while I thought about everything that had been happening. I can't believe it has been two weeks since I woke up in bed with Sarah. I couldn't figure out how she got in there, but I fired all of the security guards in charge that night. I have not even gathered the courage to look at Elena's face. One thing I am not sure of is making love to Sarah that night.****FlashbacksI stirred on the bed, and my head began to pound immediately. I tossed on the bed and let out a frustrated groan with my hands in my head. “Oh no. I had a lot to drink,” I muttered to myself. I noticed something lying close to me, and I quickly opened my eyes. My eyes widened when I saw Sarah lying beside me. I looked around to see our clothes on the floor, which even made me more confused. I turned to look at Sarah. How
Sarah’s POV:I opened my eyes wide open, and it was already daybreak. I didn't realise that I had slept for so long that it was almost afternoon. I instantly felt weak and nauseous. I slowly stretched my body and walked into the bathroom. I smiled when I remembered the reason I was feeling nauseous. I had an intimate moment with Tyler, my lover, a day after I lured Nicklaus to bed with me. Even if he didn't touch me that night, he was too drunk, and now he couldn't remember if he did. I turned on the shower and enjoyed the warm water as it cascaded down my body. I hummed and danced in the shower. I washed my hair and scrubbed my body before stepping out of the shower. My door was swung open, and my mother walked in. She was already dressed and was ready to go out. “Did you sleep well, Sarah?” she asked while walking into my closet. I turned to her and grinned widely. “Yes, I slept well.” I spoke and nodded my head. She fixed her eyes on me and narrowed her eyes as if she were try
Elena’s POV:I walked to the rooftop with my gym wear, and I sat on a fluffy rug. I needed sunlight, and I also resumed some exercises and meditation. To get better and see if there would be a chance of me getting pregnant again. I waited for Zoey’s arrival. She is like the sister and family that I never had. She is so caring. It's been two weeks since my fight with Nicklaus, and I have not even set my eyes on him. I had been trying so hard to be fine, but it was almost impossible. My husband and I always promised each other to be there for one another and not let anything come to separate us. We were like best friends, but now we have turned into strangers. Zoey always made sure she was there for me and kept me from thinking so much about it. I had also been stressing myself and hoping to get pregnant soon for Nicklaus, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. I have been on a diet and exercising properly just to see that it works, but one needs enough sex to get pregnant,
Sarah’s POV:I quickly walked upstairs into the hallway when I heard voices coming from downstairs. My father and Elena are at it again. It seems they are both exchanging words, and I couldn’t care less about it.I increased my pace while I tiptoed so that I wouldn't be caught. I just needed to do what had brought me here without anybody suspecting me. Deep down, I was excited that things were getting heated down there. I hoped it would last to buy enough time for myself. Now I have to make use of this opportunity, so I hastened my steps and hurriedly stepped into Elena's room. I walked into Nicklaus’s room, but somehow the room was empty. I looked around, but I didn't see a trace of Elena’s stuff. I couldn't understand what was going on. Had she moved out of their room already? That would be a question for some other time. I quickly moved out and opened the different rooms when I found where Elena's stuff was. I realised that Elena and Nicklaus's marriage had taken a different turn
Sarah walked out of the house, joining her father in the car with a satisfied smile on her face.“Father, I heard noises. I hope you didn't take it too hard on yourself,” she asked calmly. “No, I didn't. Someone just needs to put Elena in her place,” he responded, his face filled with so much worry. Sarah tried to calm her father and assured him that everything would be alright. She knew that if her plans worked, then her father would have more than he had in his company. Nicklaus had discharged all of the board members after he found out who sold his shares, and he immediately sent for Mr. Xavier again. He wanted to make sure that he was clear on the issue before taking action. “He will be sued if he doesn't arrive in my office in the next 30 minutes,” he said. He kept on wondering in his heart while all these allegations were pointing towards Elene. He had known her to be so sweet and innocent. “Is Elena not who she claims to be? I thought she was innocent and kind-hearted,” h
Elena’s POV:I lay on my bed, still sobbing from an argument I just had with my dad. I hadn't felt this used in my life.All they just wanted was for me to fulfil my own part of the deal. I was even feeling satisfied that Nicklaus and I had found love, but I couldn't understand what was going on. There was nobody to stand up and fight for me. I am weak. Irina sat beside me as she consoled me. I cried continuously when I heard a loud sound coming from the hallway.I sat upright and whipped my eyes while giving Irinaa a questioning look. “Who are those?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. I quickly stood up and opened the door when I saw Nicklaus and three of his bodyguards. Nicklaus's eyes fell on me. “Oh, there you are,” he said, and he walked into my room. I quickly stood up. “Nicklaus, what's going on?” I asked, narrowing my eyes and waiting for answers.He scanned the room and fixed his eyes on me. “I see you have moved into this room. What are you hiding?” He asked, boring deeply in
Elena’ POV:My eyes were wide open, and I was taken aback by what had just happened.What could we be talking about? Was I dumb enough to sign on some dumb papar, or was this a set-up?I raised my head to look at Nicklaus and everybody. The bodyguards worked out of the room, and my eyes landed on everyone standing in the doorway. I felt embarrassed, and I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me. My father walked out of the room immediately, and Sarah followed him from behind. Irina and Zoey quickly walked out of the room, leaving me and Nicklaus alone in the room. Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I didn't know when I started sobbing. Nicklaus gave me a daring look. He walked up to me, his eyes never leaving mine. “Cut that shit and wipe these crocodile tears. Now I know what your mission is in this marriage. Do you know who I am that you are trying to steal from me?” I took a step forward and held onto his hand. “Nicklaus, please. I have no idea what is going on,” I pl
Nicklaus’s POV:I stormed out of the room in anger. Elena couldn't even prove herself, which means everything was true. She claimed to love me, but it had been a plot all this time to steal from me. I hurriedly walked out of the room; my feet were heavy with pain and anger. I walked down the hallway, and footsteps echoed in the hallway. I walked out of the house to the waiting car parked in front of the building, collected the keys from the driver, and took the driver's seat. I adjusted the mirrors, tightened my seat belts, and put the car into gear. I zoomed off into the streets of Los Angeles.I was driving at full speed, and my anger was rising. My hands held the shell tightly, and I felt a rush of adrenaline in my body. I just wanted to go far away—away from my problems, away from Elena. Was she in touch with her ex-fiance? Was she planning to use my money and run away with him? I think that is the reason she always had nightmares. Did he threaten her to do it because she could
