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

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.

    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.

    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

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.

I tried to get a hold of myself when the door was swung open. The doctor walked in with a smile on her face and a paper in her hand. “Hi, Elena? How are you feeling? Today?” She asked, smiling broadly.I nodded my head and smiled slightly. “I'm fine, thank you, doc,” I said gently.She walked close to me and opened the paper in her hands. “We had to run a couple of tests on you.

    Elena’s POV:I knew that I could keep concealing the truth fromNicklaus. It had already been confirmed. Nicklaus had the right to know. This is the best time to let him know. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I was not able to control them. "Yes, Nicklaus, Jason is your son,” I confessed, my voice cracking hard. Nicklaus was stunned, and he looked at me deeply in the eyes. “Why? Why did you keep it away from me? After all these years,” he asked, tears streaming down his face. I crossed my arms across my chest and sniffed, “Well, yes. I had to protect my son. I had to protect you from people like Sarah. You abandoned me. What would you have me for Nicklaus?” I spoke as he continued to sob.Tears rolled Nicklaus’s eyes, and he became emotional.

    Nicklaus’s POV: My eyes widened, and I was stunned. That was when I knew that something was fishy. I checked the birthmark and mine, and it was exactly the same and in the same position.“This has got to be a joke,” I muttered silently. “Could it be?

The exact time Elena and I divorced.Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked myself the question repeatedly all night long. I didn't even get enough sleep. I remembered how he would smile at me. His eyes and his smile were similar to mine. His black curly hair. Noe, everything is beginning to make sense.If Jason is my child, why did Elena decide to keep it away from me? I kept wondering. I couldn't wait for the day to break so that I would confront Elena.Everything is beginning to reveal itself. I have to get to the root of this. I watched as Jason slept, and I made sure that he was

We will get a positive reply in no time,” he said calmly.

I wish I had completed my mission in killing Nicklaus. I planned to run away with his money and go far away. It would have been a silent deal, and he would have shut up for like.
