Nicklaus’s POV:“Your father is on his sick bed, and he needs you.” I spoke up; my voice was barely audible. Immediately, Elena stood still in her tracks.She backed me, and I waited for her to turn around and come to me. There was silence in the room. She remained motionless. After a few seconds, Elena continued walking out on me. “Elena,” I called softly. My facial expression was filled with concern. She turned to me and walked up to me with tears filling her eyes. “He is sick, and he needs me. Why does he need me? He can do without me!” she shouted. I could feel the pain in her voice. I tried to speak, but Elena stopped me. “Nicklaus, you, and my family turned your backs against me when I needed you people the most, all for what? For power, for wealth? You have it now. What more do you want from me?” She asked, her voice raising, causing attention everywhere.“I had nowhere to go. I had nothing; big nobody cared about me. My father chased me out of his house after you chased me

Chapter 172

Mr. Williams’ POV:I blink my eyes open in the early hours of the morning when the door is slid open. Nurse Grey walked inside, holding a clipboard in her hand. She checked the monitor and also the drip. I fixed my eyes on her as I watched her quietly, letting her do her job. She didn't say a word, and she avoided eye contact with me. I felt some type of attachment. It was as if I had known her from the past, and she reminded me of Elena so much.She turned around and was about to leave the room when I mentioned a name that had been on my mind.“Anna!”She stood frozen in her tracks as the name echoed in the room. My heart slammed hard against my chest, and I was so stunned.I could remember her from the past. I smiled a little as tears were almost gathering in my eyes when she turned to her heels and walked away. I lay on the bed as tears began to fill my eyes; she was the one. It was Anna; I was right all along. I thought to myself.She looks so much like Elena. That's the reason

Chapter 173

28 years ago.Anna woke up on a Saturday morning feeling hurt and sad. It had been days, and she had not heard from William. Since she told him that she was pregnant, she had not set her eyes on him.She got up from the bed and freshened up after her morning throw-up. The pregnancy symptoms were becoming obvious, and she noticed the changes in her body. She picked up the telephone to reach out to Emily, but it was not reachable. She narrowed her eyes. “What could be going on? Is Emily alright? I should go check on her at her place. She has a lot to tell her,” she said. She dressed up in blue denim jeans and a crop top. She brushed my hair and backed it into a ponytail, and she used makeup to conceal my eye bags.She stepped out of the house and stopped a taxi. She got inside the taxi. “Good morning, to the Robinson’s Estate,” Anna said, her voice barely above a whisper. The trip to the house was taking forever. She couldn't wait to see Emily. She needed someone to talk to. To cry a

Chapter 174

Tears streamed down Nurse Grey's eyes, and she remembered all the events that happened in the past. Memories that she had forgotten long ago. She remembered Mrs. Emily Williams. She knew it was her best friend even though she couldn't recognise her.She remembers Sarah, and she knew that she was the same age as the girl she had given birth to, but she knew Sarah wasn't hers.She wondered where her daughter, whom she had named Elena, was now. Was she happy growing up with Emily and Williams? Is she safe right now? Did she ever think who her mother was?She looked down at her old hands, wrinkled from so many years of serving. Hands that carried multiple newborns but barely held hers. She remembered the day she gave Elena up. Even though she never wanted to, that was the odd choice she has left because Williams mother had been following her and threatening to kill Elena since she disobeyed her orders. She cried even more because she didn't want to reveal her identity, but she wished s

Chapter 175

Nicklaus’s POV:I have been very busy with this ongoing investigation about Elena and Sarah lately. Everything had been so suspicious lately, and I planned to get to the root of everything, though I am enevarted. For the past 24 hours, I have barely slept or eaten. I had been busy with document reviews and investigations. I had discovered a lot of things since the case was reopened, and I have discovered Sarah’s involvement in everything, even though there seem to me to be so many hidden secrets.I arrived at the mansion and stood in front of Sarah’s doorway. After some time thinking about it, I barged into her room. I had already obtained permission from Mr. Williams for this case about Sarah. My eyes scanned around the room. Everything was arranged in order. I decided to do some little searches.I found nothing. I couldn't find any suspicious items. There was no clue. I became frustrated and angry. I am ready to find the answers to all of my questions. The truth was somewhere,

Chapter 176

Sarah’s POV:I walked into the study to see my mother sitting wearily on the chair. I closed the door gently, narrowing my eyes, and walked to my mother. “Mother, what's wrong? You sounded so urgent; pm the phone.” I asked, but she didn't respond.I stared at her, and my eyes widened. “Mother, you are scaring me. What is the matter? Is Dad alright?” I asked. She nodded her head and gestured for me to sit. “Please sit down, Sarah,” she spoke.I sat on the chair opposite her, and my eyes never left hers. There was silence in the room as I waited for her to speak.“Sarah, the file had gone missing,” Emily spoke; My eyes widened, and my heart slammed hard against my chest. “What file, what do you mean, mother?”“The file to the shares of the Coleman company,” she spoke. “What?” I asked and immediately ran into the library. I searched around but couldn't see anything. My mother followed me. “It was in this shelf,” she pointed out, “but now I can't find it,” she spoke.My jaw dropped

Chapter 177

Sarah’s POV:“Well, madam Sarah. Mr. Coleman had reopened the case again. He is so serious about it. He is working hand in hand with the investigators,” Nicklaus's lawyer spoke. “Get me enough information as soon as possible. Get me everything you can lay your hands on before tomorrow afternoon,” I spoke and hung up.My heart was pounding fast in my chest, and I found it hard to catch my breath. My eyes widened in disbelief, and I was even more confused than before.“Nicklaus took the files from the study. How did he manage to do that?” I muttered silently to myself; there was a calculative look on my face as I tried to process this information. Who would have informed Nicklaus about the file? It couldn't be my father. It had to be one of the workers in the house. The two cleaners. Yes, they must know something about this.I sat in the room feeling uneasy and confused about the whole drama going on. If Nicklaus tries to take up this case again, he might find out the truth. I am in b

Nicklaus’s POV:It's been raining all night long. I lay in bed and tried to get enough rest, but I could not. I thought about everything that had happened and I blamed myself.I have to speak with Elena immediately. I roll out of bed and change into something casual. I stepped into my car, my bodyguards surrounding me, but I stopped them. “I want to be alone,” I said and zoomed off into the highway.Aside from her father wanting to speak with her to come back and run his company because everything is falling apart, I miss Elena. I was ready to pay the price to have her back in my life. I drove under the heavy rain and arrived at Anex’s penthouse. I rang the doorbell and waited for the door to be opened. After a few seconds, the door was opened, and it was Elena. She was standing in the doorway. “Nicklaus,” she muttered. “Elena, can I speak to you?” I asked.She walked out and stood in the doorway, “It's late. Everybody is asleep. I don't want you to wake them up. Are you okay?”

Chapter 179

Elena’s POV:I lay on my bed as I tried to get enough sleep but I couldn't. The noise of the rain and the thunder. What Nicklaus just said to me made me feel sad, and it made my heart heavy. I walked to Wave’s room to see him sleeping peacefully. I gently closed the door and went into my room. I rested my back on the door, and I collapsed on the floor. Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably, and my body was shaking with sobs. I couldn't believe all that I had just heard. It is so hard for me to believe Nicklaus. I thought about how he maltreated me, thinking I was the monster. It turns out that Sarah had been behind all of this. As for my father, I don't feel sorry for him. I just want all of them out of my life for good, and nothing would take my peace away. I stood up and walked to the widow to see Nicklaus standing in the rain. He didn't look so good, but I couldn't care less. I closed the curtain and turned off the light.I lay on my bed and forced myself to sleep, but I

Chapter 180

Nicklaus’s POV:I woke up to see the morning sun resting on Elena’s face. It felt so good to see her sleeping peacefully in my arms. “Nicklaus,” she called. She slowly moved away from me.“Good morning, Elena,” I said.“Nicklaus, you need to go before our—my son sees us in here,” she spoke up.I sat upright. “Please, can you get me my clothes?” I asked. She rushed out immediately and brought the clothes back in. I quickly put it on and was about to leave when the door was open. Elena’s eyes widened as Jason ran into the room. “Good morning, mummy,” he called and ran to Elena. He stopped when he set his eyes on me. “Uncle Nicklaus?”Elena and I didn't say a word. We just kept quiet. Immediately the door was open, and Zoey walked in. “Elena,” she paused, her eyes on Nicklaus. “Uncle Nicklaus, what are you doing here?” wave asked. I looked at Elena. “Uh, I just dropped by this morning to invite your mother for dinner,” he spoke. “Really?” Wave asked. Elena gave me side eyes, but th
