Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 97
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.

Elena's POV:I blink my eyes open, and I find myself lying on a bed. I couldn't understand what was going on. Just now I was in the courtroom; how come am I lying on the bed?I turned my head sideways and tried to clear my blurry vision. Everything was blurry until it gradually became clear; that's when I realised that I had been hospitalised.After some time, I recalled that I had been feeling uneasy in the courtroom, and I could remember when I was about to lose balance when Alex and Nicklaus rushed to help me out.I sat upright and cleaned my eyes with the back of my palms. 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. Congratulations Elena. You are

Sarah’s POV:I walked elegantly into Nicklaus’s mansion and looked around with a satisfied look on my face. I felt great that I had now moved into Nicklaus's mansion and we could begin the process of planning the wedding. I placed my hand on my stomach as I walked around while the workers held my luggage. I was in awe. I am now the Mrs. of this house, and all of my orders will be carried out. I was shown to my room by Mr. Mike, and of course, I felt disappointed that I wasn't sharing the same room with Nicklaus.“Make yourself comfortable, ma'am. Just let me know if you need anything,” Mr. Mike spoke and bowed his head.“Mr. Mike,” I called; my voice was authoritative. “Yes, ma'am, so you need anything?” He asked; his tone was respectful.“Yes, where is Irina?” I asked. “She downstairs, ma'am,” he answered.“Send her to me,” I spoke and elegantly sat on the bed. I smoothed out my dress as Mr. Mike walked out of the bedroom, and I relaxed on the beautiful pillow.I let out a deep s

Nicklaus’s POV:I sat in my office and turned my chair around. I was facing the Skyview window, and I watched the whole city from there. I placed my right hand under my clenched jaw, and my left hand was holding a stick of cigarettes. My mind wasn't exactly where I was looking. My mind was thinking about Elena the whole time. Seeing her in court today made me realise how much I have missed her, and it became worse when she collapsed to the ground. Now I realise that leaving her in police custody was a good idea. She must have gone through a lot of stress for her to collapse on the floor, and they wouldn’t even let me see her.I tried to see her and to have a word with her, but to no avail.“Who are you? Alex? What do you mean to Elena?” I muttered silently to myself. “I will make sure that I find out everything about you and what your relationship with Elena is,” I continued. Immediately, there was a knock on my door, and Mr. John walked in. “It's so good to see you, Mr. John.”

Elena’s POV: I walked into Alex's penthouse with my feet heavy on the marble floor. I looked around the whole place, taking note of my new environment, and I could not believe that I had left the police cell.It feels great knowing that I have left the police cell to be in a comfortable place, but it still hurts that everybody still doesn't believe me. I didn't even know how to prove my innocence and to prove myself to everyone that I was innocent of the crimes that I had been accused of. “Please come in,” Alex spoke, gesturing for me to come inside the penthouse. I followed him from behind and placed my hands on my stomach when I remembered that I had just been told about my present condition.Zoey followed me; her hands never left my arms. Alex stood in the doorway and said, “Elena, this will be your room; please feel at home. My home is your home."“Thank you very much, Alex. You are indeed a lifesaver.” I spoke and pulled away.Zoey walked up to me and said, “Elena, I would ha

Sarah’s POV:“You think moving in with your new fiance will save you from me? You have no idea what I am capable of.” I went through the text message over and over again with my heart pounding hard.I stayed in my room all day long, feeling restless and looking around, thinking of what to do. The text made me feel very insecure and restless. I thought moving in with Nicklaus would remove eyes from me, but it turns out this person knows a lot more information about me. I paced around the room tiredlessly and thought of what to do: “My plans of getting rid of the bastard failed again, and I can't keep paying her off for her silence. She's obviously using blackmail to collect instant cash from me. I have to do something.” I muttered silently to myself with my finger on my chin as I thought to myself. My eyes were cold and calculative as I thought about the whole plan. I remembered how I struggled with her the other day in the woods. I was this close to finding out her identity because

Elena’s POV:Its been a few weeks, my biological father had been buried of course without my step sister and my step mother. They had been on the run and nobody knew where they both were. Amelia had been our responsibility. I stood in the window and stayed at the whole city in my black dress. I had been mourning all day.I wished I spend a lot of time with my father. I wish I fekt his presence in my life. After a while, Anna joined me and she held my hands gently. “Williams, your father was a good man. You shouldn't blame him for what happened. He was blindfolded. Please. Find a place in your heart to forgive him,” she spoke.She exhaled deeply and continued, “I also need you to forgive me Elena even though I knew that I shouldn't have gave you up but I couldn't give you the life that you needed. I wanted you to have everything in the world. I was dying in poverty. You were sick Elena. That was the only way I could restore your health,” she explained and tears rolled down her eyes.

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. He quickly found a spot to sit in so that he would catch his breath.“I had the right to know about it, Elena. Why did you keep such from me?” he asked.“I...” I began to stutter. I didn't know where to begin or what to say. I was in so much pa

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? Could it be that Jason is my son?” I asked, but I shook my head and tried to brush it off. My blood and his blood were compatible. He is 5 years old. 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

Nicklaus lay on the hospital bed, but he was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. Anna saw him by the doorway as he struggled; she helped him out, “Nicklaus, you can't leave. You haven't fully recovered,”Nicklaus father arrived and was surprised to see Nicklaus leave. “I have to go help Elena. I want to be by her side,” Nicklaus spoke.“I am tired of being told what to do. Please get me out of here.”Mr. Coleman and the nurse agreed; they threw Nicklaus out of the hospital in a wheelchair. They got into the car, and after what felt like forever, they arrived at the penthouse.“Nicklaus walked in to see Zoey and Alex pacing around without Elena. He looked around, hoping to see her come out, but she didn't.“Where is Elena?”“She left with Sarah. I am still trying to track her location,” Alex said. Immediately, Nicklaus reached for one of my keys and rushed out of the penthouse. He reached for my car and zoomed off. He took his car tracker and tracked Sarah’s location.Alex, An

I blinked my eyes open to see myself on the hospital bed. “Where is my baby?” I asked.“You have to calm down, Elena. The police are everywhere searching for Wave right now. We will get a positive reply in no time,” he said calmly. I shook my head and struggled with him to leave my hand as I got out of bed. “No, I can't sit here while my son is taken away from me; I have to find him. I am sure Sarah took my child,” I shouted.Nicklaus and Sam walked up to me and said, "Please Elena. Let's get home and wait for the authorities. You have to trust me on this, I assure you. We will find your son,” Nicklaus spoke, and I became calm instantly.“How can I go home when my boy is missing?” I cried out.I held onto Nicklaus, and my head rested on his chest as I sobbed. “I want my boy,” I cried out.Nicklaus stroked his hands through my hair. “He will be found; you have to trust me,” he spoke. “I don't want to go home. I want to wait here. I know Sarah will come back here,” I said. “It's fin

Elena’s POV: I stayed up all night with my father and Nicklaus. Nicklaus’s bodyguards surrounded his room together with the police as he gave his statement. I also have my statement, and I felt relieved that he is now guarded. Alex, Zoey, and Jason arrived and stayed with me all night long. Jason had refused to sleep. He played with my father; I watched them as I smiled. They looked so happy. They laughed and joked until they both fell asleep.I had a little sleep on the couch. Zoey and Alex went home to rest. It was morning, and I blinked, my eyes opened. The police stopped by my father’s ward as they searched for Sarah. She had been on the run since last night, and we have not heard from her. When my father woke up to hear the news of Sarah’s crimes and her disappearance last night, he became weak. I noticed his mood, and I tried to cheer him on. I walked up to him, “Who was that?” he asked.I exhaled deeply, “Father, it's the police. Unfortunately, Sarah is wanted,” I spoke.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 187
Sarah‘s POV:I ran out of the hospital as fast as I could before the security would catch up with me. I got into my car and zoomed off. I was breathing very hard as I drove with tears in my eyes.Elena really hurt me, and blood was coming out of my lips. She punched me really hard. I drank off as I wiped my lips. 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. But right now, I am in trouble. He would not keep quiet. He would expose me and tell the world everything that he had found out.I have to go far away. Very far away, where nobody would be able to find me. I will make sure I execute my plans there. After what felt like forever, I arrived at the house and broke into Nicklaus safe. I carried all of his diamond jewellery and some bundles of dollars. My eyes fell on a pistol, and I picked it up. “This would be enough to get me to terminate him and El

I slowly opened the door to see Nicklaus up and active, even though he looked pale.He smiled warmly when he set my eyes on me.“How are you doing today?” I asked, leaning to kiss him on the forehead. “You gave us a scare.”“I am doing just fine,” he said, and we kissed again when Sarah opened the door. “So this is what you both had been doing in my back? You are a social climber, Elena. “Sarah, not now. I had already signed the divorce papers. You have to play your own part,” Nicklaus spoke.She walked up to me and gave me a daring look. “You are a scumbag,” she spoke and turned to Nicklaus. “I will make sure you pay for it,” she warned and walked out of the room.“I have to go be with my dad right now. I will see you later,” I said and walked out of the room. I walked to my father’s room to see my father lying weakly on the bed. I ran to him, “Fat
