Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 1
Elena’s POV:I stood in front of the mirror, smiling broadly as I tilted my head downward and admired the beautiful white wedding dress that glittered under the soft lighting on my body.My dress, a long white mermaid dress adorned with silver crystals, matched my pale skin. The corset clinched at the waist for a flattering fit that revealed my curves, with a decorative bow strap.My lhair was styled in soft waves and packed in a bridal style.My makeup highlighting my cheekbones, and my red lipstick made me look flawless. I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life, Caleb, and step into my long-awaited freedom. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. “This is a day of new beginnings,” I muttered silently with a broad smile.For so long, I had followed my father's orders and done everything he demanded. Working tirelessly for him and not having to pursue my dream.Today marks the end of an era. I'll finally g

Elena’s POV:Wearing a white robe, I stood on my balcony and watched the sun set below the sky, casting a golden light on the whole city. The day gradually became dark. Tomorrow will be the most important day of my life. It's going to be my wedding day!I was filled with so much excitement. I walked into the room and laid on my bed, feeling the warm sheet under me after a very nice spa treatment. I heard a knock on my door. “Hi Elena,” Sarah, my stepsister, greeted me with a smile on her face as she walked into my room. “Hi Sarah, what’s up?” I responded, sitting upright. I rested my head on the headboard. I felt surprised to see Sarah walk into my room. Sarah’s facial expression softened as she approached me. “Elena, I know that we aren't as close as sisters should be, but I want you to know that I am sincerely happy for you. Congratulations sister. You are going to become Caleb’s wife tomorrow,” she smiled. “Soon to me, Mrs. Smith.”Sarah is my stepsister, but we are completel

Elena’s POV: My whole family stood in the room, staring at. I could see the stern look on their faces. The guests are waiting, and everybody is beginning to talk. Sarah glared at me with intense hate. Her first tightened by her side, and she clenched her jaw. I walked up to her.“Sarah, we were together. Please tell them I didn’t do anything. Tell them I was drunk. I was waiting for you when a man tried to harass me, and this man in the picture saved me.” I pleaded, my voice trembled, and I felt a huge lump in my throat.Sarah didn't say a word. She glared at me intensively with so much hate in her eyes.“How am I supposed to know? I left you to use the bathroom, and you ran off with another guy. Who does that? How could you’ve been heartless to Caleb? He has been there for you through thick and thin,” she voiced out on top of her voice. Her voice echoed in the room.Her eyes were filled with tears, and she gave me a daring look. “Yes, the photos are horrible. His hands were on my

Elena’s POV:“What? No! Dad, you can't do this to me!" I protested. My heart raced as the reality of his words sank in. I felt a huge lump in my throat.My dad stood there, unmoved, and listened to my objections. "Elena, we don't have a choice," he replied, his voice firm. "This is for the good of the family. You've left me no other option," he stated.I started panting, and tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. My chest rose and fell as my breathing increased, and I began gasping for air.“No! I can talk to Caleb. We can fix this. What about my dreams? My goals? Mr. Coleman already stated earlier that his son needed to get an heir so that he could hand over the company to him. What does that make me? A baby-making machine? Why will I get married to a crippled man?” I protested. “Don’t you…” My dad cuts in, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath before speaking again. “You are going to marry Nicklaus Coleman this morning, whether you like it or not,” he said angrily.“I don'

Elena’s POV:My dad walked me down the aisle in my beautiful dress. I gathered the courage to walk down to the altar, forcing a smile on my face and hiding my pain. My heart bled with so much pain.My make-up and hair were retouched, and I looked calm and collected. It looked like a scandal never happened, but deep down inside of me, I was burning and filled with regret. As we approached the altar, I looked up. I was stunned to see the man standing in front of the altar, waiting for me. My eyes widened when I saw a tall man standing at the altar in a black Armani suit. His short, curly hair and his piercing blue eyes met mine. The same guy from the club whom I was accused of cheating with. He is the billionaire’s heir. He isn’t as crippled as everyone believed. Rumour has it that he was crippled just like his dad, but they were all lies. Other people said he was gay, which was why he refused to get married and take over his father's companies. I stopped at the altar and stood clo

Elena’s POV:The drive in the car was silent. The only sound I could hear was the sound of the engine. I sat in the car with Nicklaus beside me, and my mind raced with a lot of things. I couldn't believe my life could change in a blink of an eye. My happy moment turned into a sad moment when I got dumped by the love of my life on my wedding day and got married to a stranger. How bad can it get? All my life, I have been doing all my father’s asking of me because I hoped I would be free one day, but now I am in a living hell.Just then, I wish I could turn back time to yesterday, I thought. My eyes were fixed on the window, and I looked at all the moving vehicles. If I had known, I wouldn't have followed Sarah to the club last night. I would have stayed at home and prepared myself. I made a little mistake, and now I am paying the price with my happiness. I can't believe I will end the rest of my life with a total stranger just to clear my father’s debt. I was this close to living my

Elena’s POV:I quickly stepped into the room and walked to the king-sized bed. It was a luxurious bedroom painted white. The walls, floor, and ceiling were painted white. The grey carpet was soft and fluffy. The bed was a king-sized bed with a grey wooden frame. The bedding, a white duvet, and pillows were made of silk and satin. A grey matching headlamp and nightstandI walked to the other side of the room and saw a white dresser and a big, beautiful crystal mirror that reflected the room's beauty. I sat on the bed and stared at my reflection. I couldn't believe my life could change in a day. My brain was still processing all that had happened today. Tears filled my eyes, but I decided not to allow myself to break down. I stood up and stripped myself of my dress, walking into the bathroom. I prepared a hot bath with essential oils. Someone had already lit scented candles, and the nice fragrance filled the air. I am not going to think about this anymore. Since Caleb didn't trust m

Elena’s POV:I woke up the next morning with the sun's rays resting on my face. I felt a little uncomfortable with the event if the previous day was still in my mind. I blinked my eyes open and rubbed my eyes with the back of my pants. I could barely get enough sleep from so much thinking last night, no matter how much I tried not to. I remembered that I had to go on a trip with Nicklaus, and I had no idea where we were going. I simply followed his orders, feeling like a puppet on strings.With a frustrated groan, I rolled out of bed and stretched my body. I walked into the bathroom barefoot.I turned on the shower and let the warm water cascade down my body. I scrubbed my body and allowed my muscles to relax.I washed my hair, stretched it out, and began my skincare routine. My eyes were still puffy from crying so much yesterday morning, so I decided to do a little make-up to conceal the dark circles under my eyes. I applied concealer and mascara to highlight my face. I packed my h

My long brown hair was styled in soft waves and packed in a huge bun pinned with sparkling hairpins. The tiny curls in my hair decorated my face as they rested on my shoulders.I couldn't believe that this day would truly come to pass. The day that I will finally get married to the love of my life. Getting married to Nicklaus and starting over again. Everybody deserves a second chance. Nicklaus, my mother Anna, and Nicklaus’s father.This is so wonderful.

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.
Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret Chapter 192
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

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
