Sarah followed her father from behind as they arrived at the house. Mr. Williams angrily walked out of the car and went into the house. He walked straight to the study, and he could feel his blood boiling through his veins.
He could not imagine Elena carrying out such an act. He didn't even know what to believe. She had been helping him out with his company, and not a single dime went missing, which made him ask himself a question.
Was he just afraid of standing up for Elena so that the Coleman family wouldn't take it out on him and end their collaboration with his company?
If he had stood for Elena, he knew that he would be risking everything, so he just kept quiet.
Sarah followed her father from behind, and he sat on the chair and poured a glass of whisky into his cup. He gulped it down immediately, and his eyes reddened. He doesn't even know how to react.
“Father, please take it easy on yourself,” she said, trying to calm him down. Knowing that everything would be alright soon because she had planned everything.
“How do you expect me to be calm in this situation? Aren't you aware of the crimes your sister has committed? I am about to lose everything that I had worked hard to build,” he said angrily. He wasn't proud of what had just happened.
“I assure you that we won't lose anything, Father,” she assured him, but he didn't seem convinced enough. He knew that this had ruined his reputation and that it would be hard for others to trust him.
Immediately, Sarah’s mother walked into the study, her heels clicking on the floor, and her face was filled with worry. “What is going on here? I heard noises,” she asked, making eye contact with me and my father.
She had a hint of what was going on, but she kept her acts together.
“Elena has been accused of theft in the Coleman company, and we are about to lose everything that we had worked hard to build,” my father responded angrily. His voice was rising.
Mr. Williams couldn't hold it anymore. He knew what Colemans was capable of and that it would not end well for his company. He felt his heartache, and he couldn't even think straight to come up with a solution, no matter how hard he tried.
How would Elena come up with such a plan? Does she think that she would not be caught? How did all of this even happen? He kept questioning himself.
“I have known Elena, and I never knew she could get her hands on such criminal acts. What has gotten into her? She had always followed my instructions without messing things up.” Mr. Williams spoke out loud as he wondered.
Sarah and her mother made distant eye contact with some sort of silent jubilation. Sarah couldn't wait to tell her mother everything that had happened in the Coleman mansion and how Elena had been humiliated in front of everybody.
After a while, Sarah and her mother made sure that her father took his drugs and went to bed. Silently closing the doors, she and her mother walked into their room, and they both discussed.
“You needed to see Elena’s face when she found out. Nicklaus was so angry at her and now he is heartbroken. This is my chance to get closer to his mother,” she spoke excitedly.
Marina, their trusted maid, overheard the conversations and decided to record every single word that they said. She stood outside the doorway with her ear pinned to the door.
Her eyes widened when she heard all that Sarah had confessed, and she couldn't believe it.
Sarah and her mother laughed about the whole situation as she explained how Elena got caught. Marina had always worked in the Williams mansion for many years, and she was fond of Elena; she had been treated very badly by Sarah.
She was overjoyed when Sarah made mention of her setting Elena up and decided to make proof. Immediately after she was done recording, she saved but walked away, knowing that she would have achieved a lot with that information.
It wasn't in her position to leak this because she knew how the rich behaved; she knew that wouldn't be rewarded, so it wouldn't be of any use exposing Sarah; rather, she would use it to blackmail her.
She knew how much Sarah would be willing to pay to conceal such information.
She tiptoed to her room and licked herself in. She smiled excitedly. “I have just worn a jackpot. I will be out of this hell and living from hand to mouth,” she spoke, and she imagined all the money she would take from Sarah in due time.

Sarah’s POV:
The next morning, I woke up feeling exhausted and refreshed. I stretched on the bed, stirring with a smile on my face. It had been a long night, and I couldn't wait for daybreak. I had been waiting impatiently.
It is indeed a beautiful, sunny day. I rolled out of bed and walked into the shower. I hummed to the sound of “Diamond” by Rihanna while I brushed my teeth.
Marina carefully prepared a bath of water mixed with essential oils, and I allowed the water to relax my tensed muscles. After a few minutes in the water, I rose and cleaned my body with a fluffy white towel. The towel was very soft and I loved how it felt.
I applied moisturiser to my skin, and I felt nauseous immediately. I ran to the sink and threw up repeatedly. I became weak and tired.
I had been feeling bloated and very weak. I had been throwing up. Not only have I gained a little weight, but I also feel weak and exhausted easily. I sat in the closet to gather enough strength before I began my day.
After some time, I felt normal, and I dressed up. I carried my purse and my coat and walked out of the house. I got into the car and drove down to the hospital.
I walked into the laboratory since I had booked an appointment for a test.
“Good day. My name is Sarah Williams, and I am here for my appointment.” I spoke to one of the nurses with a smile on my face.
“Good day, ma'am; please come with me,” she said, walking into the execution room. I followed her from behind.
After a few moments, my blood sample was taken, and I waited in the reception for my result. The nurse called me into the lab and handed me the result.
"Congratulations, Miss Sarah Williamson; you are pregnant,” she said excitedly.
Nicklaus’s POV:I walked into my office building and ignored all of the greetings from my employees. I removed my jacket and hung it on the hanger. My eyes were heavy as I sat in my office chair. It was a new day, and I had not gotten enough rest. I could barely sleep last night after the whole drama with Elena. I slept alone last night in my other penthouse, thinking it would help me, but it didn't. I wanted my space and to be away from Elena. I decided to work for some time before taking a quick break. I checked all of the blueprints and made some corrections. I quietly made out all of the errors and asked them to do it again. They wouldn't like to see my angry mode if I allowed myself to lose control. “This blueprint has a lot of corrections,” I said on the intercom as I communicated with one of the teams. “I pointed out the errors by making circles; get them done before the end of today,” I ordered before hanging up. I was typing on my laptop when a knock came through my doo
Nicklaus's eyes widened, and he stared at the paper. His jaw dropped, and it felt like he was having a nightmare. The test result boldly proved that Sarah was indeed pregnant, but he became even more confused. He creased his brows and wondered why Sarah was showing him her pregnancy. He didn't quite understand, but he remembered waking up next to her in bed. He looked at Sarah and spoke up. “How does your pregnancy stop us from pulling out of your father's company?” he asked, fixing his gaze on her and waiting patiently for her response. Sarah smiled and crossed her hands against her chest. She knew that she had just won a jackpot and that she would become Nicklaus’s wife. She was also glad that she came at the right time when his father was present. “Well, Mr. Nicklaus Coleman, I am pregnant for you,” she spilt. Nicklaus's eyes widened, and his father looked at Sarah with his eyes widening and his jaw dropping. He didn't understand what was going on, and he needed more clarity.
Elena’s POV:I stayed in my room all morning without going anywhere. I woke up on the floor and soaked it in my sweat. My eyes were still filled with tears, and I had a hiccup from so much crying.There was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice spoke up: “Good morning, ma'am; it's Irina. May I come in?” she asked.I sniffed and exhaled. “Come in,” I said, wiping my eyes. The door was opened slowly, and she rushed to me, seeing the state that I was in. “Ma’am, are you alright?” she asked, scanning my whole body and looking around."Ma’am, did you even get so much sleep?” she asked.I ignored her and spoke up, “Irina, prepare my bath. I need to have my bath,” I said, my voice cracking and barely above a whisper. It was very hard for me to raise my voice and speak.“Right away, ma'am,” she said, and she walked into the closet. She turned on the bath water and mixed the essential oils. The lovely fragrance filled the room. All my bones were hurting from lying on the floor, but I man
Elena‘s words caught him off guard, and he became mute immediately. That's when he realised that he had never really cared; all he just wanted was the child so that he could acquire more wealth.Nicklaus's phone rang immediately, and she felt relieved from the distractions. He reached out into his pocket and took out the phone to see who it was. The call didn't last for 30 seconds, and he hung up the call.He turned to Elena and said, “You better sign the divorce paper before I get back or deal with the consequences.” He warned, turning on his heels and walking out of the room.Elena sat on the floor with tears streaming down her face. She could not imagine how her life could totally change in a few months. Just when she thought her life had changed for the better.“I know he is capable of this, but could it be that he set me up?” she asked herself but shook her head immediately.Her hands trembled as she looked at the divorce papers. The more she looked at it, the more everything lo
Nicklaus halted in his tracks, and his eyes widened. He turned around and fixed his gaze on Mr. Mike. “What do you mean she left the house? He asked. He didn't wait for Mr. Mike’s response. He walked into her room to search for her, but she was nowhere to be found. His eyes fell on the divorce papers on the bed, and he picked them up.He saw that she had already signed the papers, and his heart pounded hard against his chest. “Fuck!” he exclaimed.Why would she leave the house without telling me? He wondered to himself. Where would she go because he knew that her family would not accept her? Nicklaus brought out his car keys and walked into the hallway, but something made him stop in his tracks. He wondered what he was doing. “Elena is not a child; she can take care of herself. I don't care where she goes to. We are already divorced,” he said and walked to his room. He turned on the shower and allowed the cold water to cascade down his body.Meanwhile, Elena walked alone in the st
Elena’s POV:I looked to see a car stopped in front of me, and the car door was opened. A tall guy came down the car and approached me. The figure looked so much like Nicklaus, but when he came closer, it was a completely different person. It was Alex.He stood tall, and his looks were imposing; his facial expression was serious. “Let go of her,” he ordered the guys, and they all giggled. “And if we don't? What are you going to do, man?” one of the guys asked. He turned around and stood in front of Alex.Alex gave them a daring look, and they slowly moved away. “Hey, bro. Relax. We only wanted to have fun. You can have her,” they said and walked out. Alex's eyes fell on him, and he rushed to sit close to me. “Elena, why are you out here alone?” he asked. I exhaled deeply and gathered the courage to speak. “Well, I have nowhere else to go,” I responded with a trembling voice.“Come with me; you need to get rest,” he spoke. I held on to him, and he opened the car door for me. It w
It was morning, and Elena’s eyes opened. She stirred on the bed and stretched her body while yawning. She had not had a good sleep in a long time.She felt really happy for Alex coming to her rescue. What would have happened to her if she was put there alone? Somehow she thought Nicklaus would come to her, but he didn't. Alex woke up very early to prepare breakfast for Elena. He tried all of his best to help her relax. Seeing the way she broke down yesterday. When he was done cocking, he nervously arranged the meal on a wooden tray and walked up to her doorway, gently knocking on her door.“Come in,” she responded as she sat upright on the bed. Alex walked into the room with a smile on his face. “Good morning, Elena. I hope you rested well,” “Good morning, yes, I did thank you,” she responded and smiled.“You prepared breakfast this early?” she asked as she looked at the tray."Well, you need to eat something and refuel,” he spoke while walking to meet her. Elena perceived the n
Elena’s POV:Tears effortlessly rolled down my cheeks. He is not wrong after all. My father might not have mentioned it to me, but I knew he was patiently waiting for me to play my own part in the contracof the marriage. I have tried very hard to conceive, but it was as if the stress of everything was making all of my efforts in vain.“And there she goes with her fake tears,” Sarah spoke up. “Oh, don't give me that look. You know exactly what I am talking about,”“You are a shame to this family and to yourself, Elena. I regret the day I picked you up from the street into this family,” my father spoke. My eyes widened, and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe such words would come out of my father's mouth.I sobbed continuously, and Alex held me in his arms. I have had enough, and I have to say my mind.“Father, you have always said those words to me. I know that I am not a Williams, and if you knew you would always use this against me, maybe you shouldn't have picked me up from the st
