Elena was so weak as she looked at the ring on her sister’s finger. She knew that Nicklaus had already asked Sarah to be his wife, and that was the end of her marriage with Nicklaus. She couldn't believe how Nicklaus would move on so quickly to the extent of making Sarah his wife.
“Sa…” She stuttered, glancing at the ring as Sarah smiled widely as she wiggled her hands. “Sarah, what is the meaning of this?” She asked with tears filling her eyes.
“Yes, Nicklaus asked me to be his wife. Isn't it beautiful?” She asked excitedly. Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and she looked at Elena in a hateful way.
“You should be happy I am covering your dirty past and making the family proud after you tried to ruin everything,” Sarah spoke. Her voice was full of hatred, and she mocked Elena.
Tears rolled down Elena’s cheeks, and she couldn't control herself. “How could you do this to me?” she asked, her eyes narrowed, and she figured something out.
“Sarah, did you set me up? She asked with her hands cuffed on the table. “Did you pull this stunt so that you could have Nicklaus to yourself?”
Sarah chuckled loudly and flipped her hair backwards. “What do you think?” she asked. She looked at her hands and kissed her ring. “Well, you can think whatever you want to think. Nicklaus is now mine, and there is nothing anyone wouldn't say about it.” Sarah responded.
Elena felt like giving Sarah a slap on the face, but her hand was cuffed. Just then she knew that she had been set up, and everything Sarah did to prove that she loved her was all a lie.
She narrowed her eyes and sniffled. “Sarah, did you poison me?” she asked. Her mind was telling her a lot of things, and at that point, she couldn't help but ask Sarah.
Sarah couldn't care less about what Elena was asking her. She screeched her brows. “Do you think I am an evil person? You just became so vomitable with your husband,” she paused. “Sorry, ex-husband,” she giggled.
Elena screamed, and one of the wardens walked inside, “Take me out of here. Sarah, you are wicked, and I will make you sorry for everything that you have done to me. You will pay,” she shouted at the top of her voice.
The warden took her back into her cell, and she started weeping uncontrollably. Now everything was beginning to make sense. Since she is pregnant with Nicklaus. He decided to get married so that his father would pass all of his wealth to him.
She realised that they were both wicked, and they would stop at nothing to see that she paid. Now she is paying for something that she had no idea about. She had been so innocent and welcomed them in her matrimonial home, thinking she was being a nice sister and daughter.
Little did she know that they had planned a different thing all alone.
She screamed and cried hard. She didn't know what to do next. She just wished she would die and give up on life. Her world had crumbled, and worst of it all, she would be in jail soon.
Sarah walked out of the police station with a smile on her face. She felt satisfied that she had informed Elena about her progress with Nicklaus. She got into her car and zoomed off to the hospital.
She came back home and stayed with her mother in the garden as they both chatted and laughed. Marina walked around to see if she could hear more news, but they didn't talk about it. They were not stupid enough to do so since Mr. Willajm was in the house.
Elena was silent the whole day, and she would not utter a single word. She cried until her eyes were swollen and she began having hiccups.
Nicklaus came back from work. He went into his penthouse and lay in his bed before sleeping off. Everything has been happening that he didn't know where he would start from.
He just engaged Sarah, and it felt as if his world had ended. He wasn't able to sleep, so he took his sleeping pills. All he thought was about Elena. After some time, he slowly drifted off to sleep.
Sarah changed into her pyjamas and lay on her bed. She had her apartment, but she enjoyed staying in her father's mansion because she felt in charge. She stared at the ceiling and thought about Nicklaus the whole night. She just wished she could be with him and hold him to sleep.
It felt weird, and she needed someone to talk to. She was going, but she noticed her temperature going up. That's when she collapsed on the floor and was covered in darkness.
Nicklaus’s POV:I woke up from my slumber the next morning, and I felt very weak. This was the first time I would wake up after a good rest and still feel tired. My head was aching and my eyes were still heavy. I can't believe that I engaged Sarah and that she would be my wife in a few weeks while Elena was still in custody. Everything is still happening so fast, like a dream. I wished it was a dream so that I could wake up.The house and the room felt empty. I remember when Elena and I got married. It was one of the happiest moments for me because she had been my source of light.She changed me in so many ways. She gave me light and helped me come out and see the beauty of life. I had no reason to live. I was just ambitious and chased after becoming rich, forgetting life also makes the world a better place. I have always dreamed of pursuing my goals and becoming the most successful man in the world. My father only needed me to produce an heir so that he could pass down his legacy.
Sarah’s POV:My facial expression hardened, and I screamed in my head. I felt like exploding deep down inside of me.I walked out of Nicklaus’s office feeling angry and upset. I couldn't believe that I dressed all hot and tried to seduce him, but he declined. It is such a shame.He had engaged me, and I only wanted to make him feel better by getting closer to him and making him forget all of his sorrows. How did he reject me? Is it that he could not stand to be with another woman aside from Elena? I have been dying from his touch and hoping that our bond will get stronger since we are engaged, but it just kept getting worse.He seemed distant and away from me. I wanted to wrap him around me, but he was slowly slipping away.I smiled when I placed my hands on my stomach and walked out of the office. I planned how to make him close to me by moving to his house and acting sick. I planned everything in my head, and I knew that with that, our bond would get stronger. All of his workers s
I turned around, and my mother noticed my facial expression. She signalled me to come over to her study so that we could talk about it. I hurried and followed her from behind. I gently closed the door behind me, making sure that nobody was in the hallway. I hurriedly walked to my mother and fixed my eyes on her. She looked at me curiously and gave me a questioning look. “Speak, Sarah. What is it?” she whispered.I exhaled deeply and closed my eyes, gathering the courage to speak. “Someone knows about our secret.” I spoke in a low tone.My mother’s eyes widened, and she looked at me in shock. “What?” she asked, whispering. “How did the person know about it? Do you have any idea?”“I... I don't know Mother,”The person called and sent me a picture of the both of us leaving the underground room after our meeting with Mr. Kai. I became scared and panicked. I paid the bastard off, mother, and I shut him up. Just now I got a text from the bastard saying that he knows my pregnancy isn't f
Sarah woke up very early in the morning because she had been disturbed all night. Her blackmailer kept tormenting her.She ordered the marina to prepare her bath, and she had a hot bath. After a while, she was done and dressed in black sweatpants and a black hoodie. She packed her hair in a messy bun.Marina looked at Sarah’s reflection in the mirror, and she let out a sly smile. She knew that she had been tormenting her, and she overheard all of her recoding of tracking her.She had successfully gotten an apartment in the other part of California and had paid for her mother's treatment. The remaining money will be used to find her lifestyle and disappear from their lives. Sarah stormed out of the house and went into her car. Marina hurriedly took her earpiece and listened to the recordings from Sarah's car as she cleaned Sarah’s room.Sarah uttered the cuss word and turned on her engine. She zoomed off into the street of Los Angeles. She had to meet with her mysterious friend Zane t
Elena’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning when I heard noises coming from the cell. I had not been able to sleep all night long because I had constant nightmares and I was panting.I managed to get a little sleep, which was later disrupted. My eyes opened, and our cell was opened. “All of you, undress and go to the bathroom right now,” the female warden spoke; her voice was loud and stern.I stripped off my clothes and covered my body with my hands. I was still very shy and wasn't used to prison life.“That lady is still a newbie. You better get used to it, bitch,” one of the inmates laughed, and the whole inmates started laughing at me.We went into the bathroom, and I quickly washed up. I brushed my teeth and my hair. It's been a week and I have not had my bath. Our time was ticking, and I didn't want to be sluggish. I washed up and made sure that my body was cleaned.It was always busy here, and there was no room for slughishness. The first time I was sluggish, I was alrea
Nicklaus’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning. I had not been able to sleep. I remember when Elena and I were still married. How we would go to bed and cuddle each other.I remembered how I would wake up to her soft breath and her beautiful and pale skin.I exhaled deeply and placed my hands on my face. It's been so hard to get over her, and I wondered what she was doing. I thought about how she was coping.I had not been able to get my mind off her, and I wanted to feel her touch so bad. I regretted why I made love to her sister Sarah that night. I wished I had controlled myself instead of letting her seduce me.I get angry that she was the one who was carrying my child, and I am being forced to marry again against my wish. If Elena had been pregnant, maybe I would have convinced my father not to hand her over to the police. Maybe I would still be with her and love her, but she had betrayed me in ways that I couldn't imagine. Tomorrow will be her court hearing, and that's when
Elena walked into her room with tears rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Immediately she heard footsteps, and she collapsed on the ground as she sobbed, not minding when it was.She felt hurt that Nicklaus had visited her again just when she was getting over everything.She kept sobbing until a gentle voice came from behind. “Elena?” it called.“Nicklaus I have told you to leave me the fuck alone. Go away!” She shouted. There was a moment of silence. Immediately, Elena turned around, and she was stunned to see that it wasn't Nicklaus but Alex and Zoey. She stood up from the floor and walked up to them. “I am so sorry about that. I thought it was him.”“It's fine, Elena. We saw Nicklaus on his way out. What did he come here for?” Zoey asked, narrowing her eyes. “Never mind, Zoey. He had chosen his side already.” Elena spoke and kissed her teeth. “It's so good to see you both.?“How are you both doing? She asked.“We should be asking you that. How ar
Sarah’s POV:I winced in pain with my eyes closed. I cried hard when I remembered how close I was to finding out who the culprit was. I was this close to finding out her identity, and if I had gone with my gun, it wouldn't have been hard for me to take her life. I gathered the strength and tried to stand up when I felt a sharp pain in my ankles, and I screamed, “Ahh ahh.” I held my leg tightly, and I realised that I had injured my left ankle while I was fighting that bastard. It was too painful to bear, but I managed to get up. After catching my breath for some time, I leapt, trekking a distance to my car, and got in. I felt happy that I hadn't injured my right leg, or I wouldn't know how to drive and find my way back to the house. I started the car engine and immediately rushed down to the hospital to dress my swollen leg. I wanted it to be checked properly and hoped that I would be able to attend Elena's court hearing today. I could not afford to miss it fit anything. The docto
