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 stared at me as I walked out of the building, my presence commanding attention, and I walked out of the building.
I walked to the waiting car when all of the paparazzi surrounded me and they took multiple pictures of me outside Nicklaus's office building.
This is just the show that I wanted. I wanted to be the centre of attraction, and now the whole world will know that I am now the new Mrs. Coleman.
“Miss Sarah, what is going on between you and Nicklaus Coleman?”
“Where is your sister Elena? Is she out of the picture?”
Are you the next wife of Nickalus Coleman?”
They asked multiple questions, and Nicklaus's bodyguards helped to shield me, and I got into the car. Deep down, I loved the attention that I was getting.
I turned on the car engine and went to C News for the interview. It was a slow and gentle ride.
I arrived at the building and elegantly walked to the stage. All eyes were on me, and I managed to keep a smiley face. I love the fame and attention I am getting and am ok with the new girlfriend of Nicklaus Coleman.
I never knew the fame Elena had was this good. Now I am making the most of it, and I will try my best to see that I make the whole world envy my friendship.
“Good day, Miss Sarah, or should we say Mrs. Coleman?” The interviewer stated with a wide smile on her face.
I chuckled lightly. “You could see Mrs. Coleman already,” I said, raising my left hand as I showed her the engagement ring.
The audience all clapped, and the interviewer grinned with excitement. “This is so beautiful. Do you mean to say that Mr. Nicklaus Coleman had already engaged you?” they asked.
They all cheered and clapped their hands. I was so happy to be entertaining them. It felt really exciting. I didn't want to talk about the pregnancy yet.
I nodded my head and grinned with excitement. “You can say that again,” I said. I felt satisfied, and I spoke about how Nicklaus was the right man for me and how we both just realised it.
It was a very interesting interview, and it made my relationship with Nicklaus look perfect.
After the show, they all cheered, and I smiled widely. I hoped Elena was watching in police custody, and I knew that my parents would be proud of me.
After the interview, I got out of the building with a lot of paparazzi taking countless pictures of me.
Immediately, I zoomed off and went straight to my father's mansion. My mother was so excited.
“This calls for a celebration. I think we should throw an engagement party; that way we could have more investors and meet new wealthy men.” My father suggested.
"That's a good idea,” I said, nodding my head. I was so happy. We would get to be on good terms with more billionaires and get to partner with my father's company.
We all drank and cheered when my phone rang again. Out of excitement, I picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
Immediately I picked it up, and I heard a deep voice.
“I know that pregnancy isn't for Nicklaus,” the voice said. Immediately my mood changed, and I looked at the screen to see that it was that same blackmailer, and my heart skipped a beat.
I looked around to see if anyone was watching me, but there wasn't anybody. Nobody was on his or her phone. At that moment, everybody became a suspect, and I knew that I would do anything to uncover that hidden identity that was after my life.
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
***COURT HEARING***Today is the court hearing for Elena. Elena was still asleep when she heard a loud noise. “Wake up, Elena. You have to prepare right now,” the voice was authoritative. She was woken up very early in the morning at dawn to prepare for her court hearing today. The wardens were strict, and she couldn't help but do whatever they asked her to do.She wished she could get enough sleep because she had been feeling weak and nauseous lately. It had not been good for her. She hadn't gotten enough rest, even though she slept all night long. She couldn't understand why she felt like that. After having her bath, she was dressed in red corporate wear, which brought out her curvy figure, and her hair was styled. She sat on the chair and watched them style her hair. She didn't know if today would be the last day she would be putting on fancy clothes and make-up or if she would regain her freedom. She was just numb and didn't want to think about it too much. Nicklaus woke up e
Elena’s POV:I dragged my feet on the ground as I followed the warden into the courtroom. I had not been myself lately.I walked into the courtroom and sat down near Alex in the front row. I turned around, and my eyes and Nicklaus's eyes met. I shifted my gaze and looked to see Sarah sitting beside him; she caught his attention and was holding him in his hands. She let out a sly smile. Her face was dripping with mockery. I couldn't stand the sight of it, so I quickly removed my eyes from her.I looked around to see my father and my stepmother seated behind the Coleman family. I could count how many people were seated behind me. I felt a huge lump in my throat, and I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me. I didn't know what to do.I realised that the only people I had were Zoey and Alex, my lawyer. Irina also walked inside and sat close to me. Everybody else stood against me. I feel grateful for their little support, and then I knew that I had to fight and not give up.
