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.
“What do you mean? You are pregnant for my son,” he said while standing up. His eyes never left Sarah.
Sarah smiled. “I know I shouldn't be proud to say this, but Nicklaus and I were involved in a one-night stand a few weeks ago,” she confessed, while frowning her face and feeling down.
Nicklaus was shocked; all he knew then was that he woke up naked in bed with Sarah by his side. He never imagined that they truly made love.
Nicklaus’s father turned to him and said, “Nick, is she telling the truth? Were you involved in a one-night stand with her?” he quarried.
Nicklaus looked at his father and nodded his head. “Yes, Father,” she said, feeling disappointed.
Immediately, Sarah opened her mouth to speak when Nicklaus cut her off. “Sarah, please leave my office; I need to speak with my father alone.” Nicklaus spoke, but she was reluctant, and it got him pissed off. “I said leave my office. I will send for you when I need you,” he shouted.
“Fine, easy,” Sarah spoke and stood up from her seat, “keep the result. I have another copy,” she said, and she walked out of the office feeling satisfied.
She knew her mission had been accomplished, and very soon she would become the new Mr. Coleman. She walked down the lobby in confidence, and her presence commanded attention from everybody.
Nicklaus sat on his chair with his hand under his chin. “Nicklaus, how could you get in bed with Sarah? His father asked him.
Nicklaus exhaled and closed his eyes, slowly opening them. “Father, I had no idea what happened that night. I was too drunk; all I could remember was waking up next to her in bed,” he explained.
“Well, she is pregnant,” his father announced, taking his seat back.
“Dad,” Nicklaus tried to say, but his father cut him off.
“There is no but, Nicklaus. It has been proven that she is pregnant. We have to get married to her as soon as possible. She is carrying your heir,” he said.
He didn't want Nicklaus to say no. He had always wanted a grandchild and an heir for his life to continue.
Nicklaus's eyes widened; he couldn't believe what his father had just said. He and his father wanted an heir badly, but he didn't know what to do.
He rubbed his hands through his hair. Deep down, he wished it was Elena who was pregnant for him so he could spear her, but there was nothing that could be done anymore.
He knew he had to divorce Elena and make Sarah his new bride as soon as possible so that he would perform his fatherly duties and his support.
“Father, I will only believe when I take her to the hospital, and this confirms that she is indeed pregnant,” Nicklaus spoke.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the whole city of Los Angeles; he couldn't believe that he had sex with Sarah. Deep down, he felt a little bad for Elena. He wondered how heartbroken she would be if she heard about it.
He exhaled and closed my eyes for some time. If this pregnancy meant my father handing over the rest of the enterprises, then he would do it.
He wondered how he would do his fatherly duties when the baby came into the world, and at the same time, he felt really guilty.
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
Elena stood there in shock. She didn't believe that these two had been playing her all along. Nicklaus walked up to her with the coldest look she had ever seen, and tears streamed down her eyes. She shook her head tirelessly. “No, this isn't true,” she said.Nicklaus closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. “It is the truth, Elena,” he confessed. “How could you do this to me, Nicklaus? You made me fall in love, and all this while you have had an eye for my sister,” I shouted.Sarah shut me up. “I am not your sister. Besides, we are not related by blood,” she spoke; her voice was stern. "Elena, you couldn't give my son what he wants. Sarah could,” Nicklaus's father spoke while walking forward to Elena.“Nicklaus I loved you,” Elena spoke and walked up to him. Holding his jacket while sobbing. “We love each other. I know you still feel something got me deep down. We can't let this marriage die off,”“The marriage is over, Elena. Move on with your life. Get a life and leave me the fuck al
Elena’s POV:The police walked up and stood behind me. She hurriedly reached for my two hands and placed them on my back. Her grip hurt, but I didn't struggle with her because I knew it would only get worse if I struggled.All of my family members walked outside, including our worker, Marina. Nicklaus and his father walked outside with a serious expression on their faces. My eyes and Sarah's eyes locked, and she let out a wide grin, “Don't give me that look. You are fully aware of your crimes, Elena. Face the charges in jail. See you soon in a few years when you are out,” she spoke.Tears began to stream down my eyes. This is what my life has turned to. The shame and the humiliation that they had given me were more than enough.“You would have said you were looking for a baby-making machine,” I shouted. Nicklaus smirked and looked to the other side. Sarah waved me goodbye and smiled widely. Immediately, Zoey hurried to me, and the police stopped her from meeting me. Her face was
