Chapter 95

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 we will know if Elena will be sent to jail.

I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I felt the cold tiles under my feet as I walked. I brushed my hair and had a hot shower.

When I was done bathing, the sun was already shining. I changed into a navy blue Armani suit and stepped out. I decided to drive myself. Whenever I felt angry, I liked to drive myself.

I was about to head to the office, but I took another turn on the street in Los Angeles. After a few minutes, I stopped at the police stations.

I walked inside and walked to the police officer, and he greeted me, “I would like to see Elena Willams.” I spoke:

Immediately, I was taken into the visiting room and waited for Elena. The iron door was opened, and she walked out.

Immediately, my heart slammed hard against my chest. I looked up to Elena. Her hands were cuffed, and she looked so pale.

I felt pity for her, and I wanted to reach out to hug her, but she backed away from me.

“Elena,” I called, my voice gently

“What do you want from me? Haven't you done enough? Have you come to order them to throw me in prison already?” Elena asked, and her voice cracked.

My jaw dropped, I could see the hatred in her eyes. I knew I had already done enough damage to her, and no amount of apology would fix it.

“Elena, I am sorry,” I spoke.

Tears rolled down Elena’s cheeks, and she sobbed. “Do you believe I did all that I had been accused of?” she asked.

She exhaled deeply and fixed her eyes on me. I am nervous and confused. I didn't even know what to believe anymore.

I looked away and kept quiet. Elena was already fed up, and she shouted.

“Are you going to answer me, or will you just sit there and stare like a lost puppy?” She asked, her voice raising.

I turned to her and fixed my eyes on hers. I didn't know what to say. I was lost for words, and nothing would come out of my throat.

Elena stared at me, and she spoke up, “Your silence is also an answer. I hope you have a happy life, Nicklaus. She spoke and stood up to leave.

“Get me out of here,” she shouted. One of the wardens came along and took Elena back to her cells.

I felt very bad, and I stood up to leave. I couldn't believe that I would let the woman with whom I had fallen in love be treated like trash.

I stood up and walked out of the station when I bumped into Alex and Zoey.

They both gave me a hateful look and walked past me. I got into my car and zoomed off into the street. I arrived at my office after a short while. I tried to work but I couldn't. Immediately, I slammed my hands hard on my desk and threw my laptop and computer to the ground.

I took the glass of whisky and slammed it against the wall. I fell to the ground and cried very hard. My life had turned into a mess, and I did not know if I would ever be happy again.

I hated myself for allowing all of this to happen. I remembered all that had happened, and I blamed myself for only doing what would benefit me.

I just wanted Elena to bear me a son because of my wealth. I never really tried my best to bond. It was all fake; I blamed myself and right now. I hate myself even more.

My life had been in darkness since the day Elena left me, and I don't know if my spark would ever return.
