All Chapters of Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

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.”

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:I woke up from my slumber when I heard noises coming from the sitting room. I opened my eyes and fixed it on the door. I tried to trace where the noise was coming from.I hurriedly rolled out of bed and walked to the sitting room when I saw Alex walking into the house. He gently closed the front door.“Hey, good morning, Alex,” I spoke while yawning. I felt refreshed and strong. “Good morning, Elena.” He greeted me with a soft smile as he walked up to me. “Was anyone at the door?” I asked curiously, remembering the noise I heard coming from the front door.“What?” he asked, narrowing his eyes and giving me a questioning look.“I heard noises coming from outside. Was anybody here?” I asked again, trying to be sure of my assumptions. Alex shook his head and smiled nervously. “It was just my dry cleaner,” he responded. I noticed how uneasy he was, but I managed to brush it off. "Oh, okay,” I spoke.“I hope you had a wonderful night's rest,” he asked, walking close to me.

Third person's POV:Alex managed to give everything up by changing the topic and talking about something else. He didn't want to bother Elena by telling her about Nicklaus's appearance in his penthouse. He knew he had to do everything to make Elena regain her freedom so that he could make his decisions known to her and be brave enough to show her how much he loved her. He didn't want her to start gaining feelings back, got Nicklaus and thought about it. He is very scared to lose her this time around. He lost her to Caleb and went away. Now that he is back and has her to himself, he wouldn't risk it anymore. Elena also enjoyed Alex's company but tried to keep a little distance and stop herself from falling for him because she knew that it would cause her pain if she let her feelings grow for Alex. With everything that had happened, she had already given up on love and had promised to take care of her little one. Alex walked into Nicklaus’s father's company. He had fixed a meeting w

Elena’s POV:I lay in bed all night long feeling excited that there would be a way for me to regain my freedom, but I wasn't happy that my father had taken everything away from me, and I knew fully well that he would refuse to help bail me out.If he helped me out, he would also use me to do his business deals and transactions for the rest of my life, and I am happy I have regained my freedom from him. I can't go back to being used. Now I just need to figure out a way out to bail myself out and get out of this mess.I lay awake in my bed and stirred. I could barely get enough sleep. I have been struggling to fall asleep, but it was very difficult. I couldn't get my mind to stop thinking. I didn't want Alex to help me out with the bail. I do not want to be indebted to anybody. I want my full freedom. To start my life from scratch. That is exactly what I want. I want to be able to stand up for myself and live my dream. Nobody would be able to stop me this time around. I will make sure
