Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 7
Elena’s POV:I quickly stepped into the room and walked to the king-sized bed. It was a luxurious bedroom painted white. The walls, floor, and ceiling were painted white. The grey carpet was soft and fluffy. The bed was a king-sized bed with a grey wooden frame. The bedding, a white duvet, and pillows were made of silk and satin. A grey matching headlamp and nightstandI walked to the other side of the room and saw a white dresser and a big, beautiful crystal mirror that reflected the room's beauty. I sat on the bed and stared at my reflection. I couldn't believe my life could change in a day. My brain was still processing all that had happened today. Tears filled my eyes, but I decided not to allow myself to break down. I stood up and stripped myself of my dress, walking into the bathroom. I prepared a hot bath with essential oils. Someone had already lit scented candles, and the nice fragrance filled the air. I am not going to think about this anymore. Since Caleb didn't trust m

Elena’s POV:I woke up the next morning with the sun's rays resting on my face. I felt a little uncomfortable with the event if the previous day was still in my mind. I blinked my eyes open and rubbed my eyes with the back of my pants. I could barely get enough sleep from so much thinking last night, no matter how much I tried not to. I remembered that I had to go on a trip with Nicklaus, and I had no idea where we were going. I simply followed his orders, feeling like a puppet on strings.With a frustrated groan, I rolled out of bed and stretched my body. I walked into the bathroom barefoot.I turned on the shower and let the warm water cascade down my body. I scrubbed my body and allowed my muscles to relax.I washed my hair, stretched it out, and began my skincare routine. My eyes were still puffy from crying so much yesterday morning, so I decided to do a little make-up to conceal the dark circles under my eyes. I applied concealer and mascara to highlight my face. I packed my h

Nicklaus’ POV:I pulled away and walked outside the front porch. Elena stood by the doorway, and I could feel her eyes on me as I walked. I'm sure I left her feeling confused. I smirked and bit my lower lips as I stood by the car when my phone started buzzing continuously in my pocket. I picked it up immediately since it was business.I discussed urgent matters that needed my attention and arranged everything before leaving for my trip. I made sure that all the work was done so that I wouldn't be caught up with a lot of work when I was back from the trip. I stepped inside the car. Elena entered the car from the other side, and the driver started driving. I turned to Elena, but she turned her face to the window, avoiding eye contact with me. I could tell I had made her uncomfortable with what I had done earlier. I smirked a little and looked through my window. I knew the game that I had just played with her, and I knew it wouldn't be easy for her to resist my charms. I could still

Elena’s POV:I felt a gentle hand tapping my shoulder. I stirred on the warm surface I was lying on. It felt so comfortable and warm that I didn't want to wake."Wake up, Elena." I heard a familiar voice. It was deep and firm. I stirred again.“Elena, we just arrived at the airport; wake up. We have to board the plane right now.” and that's when I quickly opened my eyes. I looked up to see that I was holding the handsome billionaire, Nicklaus, who is now my husband.I slowly pulled away, and my cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I looked away, trying to hide from the embarrassing situation. Nicklaus stepped down from the car. He extended his hands to help me out of the car. I hesitated. He gave me a questioning look, and I extended my hand and stepped out of the car. I took a step forward, and I almost lost balance. I placed my hand on the car, and Nicklaus walked to me. He placed his hands on my waist to support me. “Are you alright?” he asked.I looked up at him and tried to co

Nicklaus POV:I finished my glass of wine and decided to get some work done. I picked up my laptop and continued working on the ongoing project. I looked at Elena with my side eyes, and she avoided my gaze.I could not remember the last time I was ignored, especially by a lady. It had never happened, and I couldn't understand why Elena was avoiding me even though the flight attendant was shooting her shot with me. Who wouldn't want a wealthy and handsome billionaire like myself? I didn't even know if I should be amused by it or mad at her for ignoring me.I focused on my laptop and continued working. I heard some noise, and Elena stirred in her seat. She was acting as if she were uncomfortable, and she kept tossing around in her sleep.That's when I realised that she was truly uncomfortable and needed a proper rest. She must have been very tired and stressed.I loosened my seatbelt and walked up to her, then slowly took off her seatbelt. I gently carried her to the bedroom at the bac

Elena’s POV:I rolled out of bed and followed Nicklaus out of the plane. “Welcome to the Bahamas,” the pilot said. Nicklaus nodded his head. I turned to them and faked a smile, trying to be composed, but I wasn't satisfied with my nap. There was a questioning look on my face. I couldn't believe that we were coming to the Bahamas for our honeymoon, and I never bothered to ask where we were headed on the plane. I hurried to meet up with Nicklaus. “We are in the Bahamas?.” I asked him.He paused and turned to me. “What do you think?” He asked and walked past me. I gave him a daring look. “How rude,” I muttered silently and kissed my teeth.Some SUVs with drivers and bodyguards were already waiting for us on the runway.One of the guards greeted, "Welcome, sir, welcome, ma'am.” He greeted him with his head bowed low. The bodyguards were tall and imposing. They had serious faces and looked intimidating. If I wasn't with Nicklaus, I am sure they wouldn't have given me this much respect.

Elena’s POV:I turned on the hot water in the tub and essential oils to help me relax. Fragrant bubbles started to form. I soaked myself in the water and allowed my muscles to relax. I closed my eyes, exhaled, and let out a deep sigh.After a few minutes, I walked out of the tub and tried a fluffy white towel around my body, feeling softness on my skin. I had to be fast before Nicklaus walked in.I walked to the closet to search for my pyjamas in my box, eager to change into something cosy and go to bed. But as I turned around, I stumbled into something hard.Before I could even process what had happened, Nicklaus placed his hands on my shoulders to steady me. “Are you alright?” he asked, his voice deep.I nodded my head, “Yes, I'm fine.” I replied.He moved his hands to my waist and stared at me for a few seconds. I couldn't look up to him because I was already feeling embarrassed. His body was close to me, and I could feel the heat from his skin. I wondered in my head if he was goi

Nicklaus POV:I lay on the bed, my eyes closed, and I pretended to be asleep, but my heart was beating fast. I couldn't get over the feeling of desire that had been building inside me since I kissed her. She had become my weak point, and it was getting hard for me to control myself. I had planned to do more than that because I desired her and we needed to start our marital duty to produce an heir, but something held me back from touching her. I felt something that I had never felt before. There was a spark, and I felt the heat inside me. I burned for her deep down, and I wished I could have her to myself. The kiss felt different. It wasn't just a normal kiss, like the ones I had shared with other women. I couldn't tell if it was because I was angry that she had another man in mind or if there was a connection. I couldn't help but feel that she had another guy on her mind when I was now married to her. I tried to take the thought off my mind by thinking about something else. My har

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

Nicklaus lay on the hospital bed, but he was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. Anna saw him by the doorway as he struggled; she helped him out, “Nicklaus, you can't leave. 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. Please get me out of here.”Mr. Coleman and the nurse agreed; they threw Nicklaus out of the hospital in a wheelchair. They got into the car, and after what felt like forever, they arrived at the penthouse.“Nicklaus walked in to see Zoey and Alex pacing around without Elena. He looked around, hoping to see her come out, but she didn't.“Where is Elena?”“She left with Sarah. I am still trying to track her location,” Alex said. Immediately, Nicklaus reached for one of my keys and rushed out of the penthouse. He reached for my car and zoomed off. He took his car tracker and tracked Sarah’s location.Alex, An

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

Elena’s POV: I stayed up all night with my father and Nicklaus. Nicklaus’s bodyguards surrounded his room together with the police as he gave his statement. I also have my statement, and I felt relieved that he is now guarded. Alex, Zoey, and Jason arrived and stayed with me all night long. Jason had refused to sleep. He played with my father; I watched them as I smiled. They looked so happy. They laughed and joked until they both fell asleep.I had a little sleep on the couch. Zoey and Alex went home to rest. It was morning, and I blinked, my eyes opened. The police stopped by my father’s ward as they searched for Sarah. She had been on the run since last night, and we have not heard from her. 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 walked up to him, “Who was that?” he asked.I exhaled deeply, “Father, it's the police. Unfortunately, Sarah is wanted,” I spoke.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 187
Sarah‘s POV:I ran out of the hospital as fast as I could before the security would catch up with me. I got into my car and zoomed off. 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. I carried all of his diamond jewellery and some bundles of dollars. My eyes fell on a pistol, and I picked it up. “This would be enough to get me to terminate him and El

Elena’s POV:He started the car, and we left for the hospital. We arrived after a short while, and I decided to go see Nicklaus first. I slowly opened the door to see Nicklaus up and active, even though he looked pale.He smiled warmly when he set my eyes on me.“How are you doing today?” I asked, leaning to kiss him on the forehead. “You gave us a scare.”“I am doing just fine,” he said, and we kissed again when Sarah opened the door. “So this is what you both had been doing in my back? 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
