Chapter 70

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 and that they were no longer staying in the same room.

I walked inside and quietly closed the door behind me. I scanned the whole room, and I stood behind the door, looking for a convenient place to find the documents because time was not on my side. This is a big win for me. Things are falling into place for me, and destiny is coming to pass.

I rushed into the closet and kept searching for a better place until my eyes stumbled on a black purse hanging on the shelves. It looked so beautiful but was the least bag that anyone would suspect.

I pressed my lips into a thin line and quickly placed it in the bag. I kept it back in the right position, and I exhaled deeply, feeling relieved. I was about to leave when the door was swung open.

“What are you doing here?” Irina asked with her eyes fixed on me. She was holding some silky sheets in her hands. She halted at the doorway, and she gave me a questioning look.

“I had to use the restroom,” I said. My voice cracked a little. I tried to hide how nervous I became, but my boy betrayed me.

“No, I say you are searching through the closet; what are you doing here? Why didn't you use the other restrooms?” She confronted me, and her voice was firm.

I had to do something fast to avoid being caught and to change the subject. I held my tummy in my hands and whinced in pain.

“Oh no, my stomach,” I said. She stood in the doorway, watching me. “I feel so weak; what could be wrong with me?” I spoke, trying to wince in pain.

Immediately I heard a sound from the hallway; it was Elena, and I pretended to be in so much pain and cried louder.

“Auch… I don't feel so good,” I cried out with my hands in my stomach.

Elena ran into the room, and her face was filled with worry as she walked up to me. “Sarah, are you alright?” she asked. I could see her becoming worried.

I nodded my head and said, “Yes, I am fine.” I said. “I just need to go catch up with my father. I do feel so good. I was searching for a painkiller, but I will drop by the pharmacy. I think I ate the wrong meal today,” I said nervously.

“Ma,” Irina tried to say, but Elena shut her up. She kept listening to her attentively.

"Irina, please go get some water for my sister,” she ordered. Irina sighed and gave me a daring look before walking out of the room.

Elena rushed up to me and said, “You should wait behind and get some rest. She spoke and placed me on the bed.

I held her gently as I relaxed my head. I faced the other side of the bed and smiled, feeling satisfied. I had been having pregnancy symptoms, and deep down, I knew that I was with a child already. My stomach didn't hurt the way I pretended for it to.

I just wished to stay behind and watch the drama, but it would be so obvious, so I jumped out of bed immediately. “I would have loved to stay, but I have an appointment with the doctor by 2,” I said, glancing at the wall clock.

“Please go see the doctor so you will get better,” she said, and I managed to be out of the house. When I stepped out of the front building, I turned around and smiled while scanning the whole area.

Very soon, all of this will be mine alone, and I will be the new Mrs. Coleman. I turned around, placed my hand on my stomach, and walked away. Feeling satisfied that everything went smoothly.

Irina has nothing against me, and when I finally come into this mansion as the lady of the house, I will make sure she is the first person that I kick out.
