Chapter 21

Elena’s POV:“Thank you,” I managed to talk my way out of the awkward situation. I walked to the dining area with my heart still pounding. I felt a little relieved.I perceived the nice aroma of the freshly cooked meal and the nice coffee. I could also perceive the scent of the local delicacies that were arranged on the table. I have always loved trying new meals, and I love local delicacies.Nicklaus joined me shortly after he had his bath. His hair was curly, and his eyes sparkled. He was putting on a blue shirt with a white inner and a blue shirt.We dug into our meals and enjoyed the nice flavours. They all had different and unique tastes, and I enjoyed the fresh ingredients. “My assistant had arranged our activities for the day,” Nicklaus said.My face lit up immediately. “That's great. I have been looking forward to exploring.” I spoke excitedly. Nicklaus grinned mischievously. "First up, we have a couple of spa dates. Massages, facials, etc. We deserve some pampering after

Chapter 22

Nicklaus POV:The next morning, our luggage was neatly arranged, and we planned to return to Los Angeles from the Bahamas. I wish I could stay here and have more fun, but I also miss working.It was a lovely honeymoon, even though I wish it had lasted a little longer, but I had to embark on new work projects that needed my full attention.I had a cold bath and changed into black joggers and a black shirt with black sneakers. Black and grey has always been my thing. It made me look unapproachable and serious. I also wore a black pair of eyeglasses and waited for Elena in the living room.“Elena, are you ready?” I asked from the sitting room.“Yes, I am. I will be with you shortly.” Elena yelled, and she walked out of the bedroom. She was dressed in grey joggers and a white shirt. She wore white sneakers and packed her hair into a sleek bun. I could not help but admire her beauty and also see her as one of my favourite colours. She looked more beautiful as the days went by.I smiled a

Chapter 23

Nicklaus’ POV:Elena was lying on the bed, shivering. Her face was pale, and she looked weak. I quickly ran to the other side of the bed.My eyes widened.I held her hand in mine, and it was so cold to touch. I could feel her trembling, and I didn't know what to do. “Elena, are you alright? what's wrong?" I asked with my voice low, and it trembled. I stroked her hair, trying to make her conscious of it, but she didn't respond. She was too weak to talk. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I tried to calm my mind, but I couldn't stop myself from panicking.“Get me my phone,” I ordered, Mr. Mike, my butler, who stood beside me as we both tried to wake Elena.I cupped her face with my arms. "Elena, can you hear me? What's going on? Do you have a fever?" I knew I needed to get her help as soon as possible.Mr. Mike walked in and handed me the phone. I dialled my doctor's number immediately, and he picked up on the first ring. “Dr. Thompson, I need you here right now.” I spoke ur

Chapter 24

Elena’s POV: It’s been three weeks since we came back from our honeymoon, and everything seemed perfect. My new life had been perfect and even way more beautiful than I ever imagined it with Caleb. Nicklaus has been very nice to me; he took care of me, and we have grown close together. We now share a strong bond. I have become so fond of him that I always find myself thinking about him whenever he is at work. We always talked on the phone and went on dinner dates. This morning, we decided to have breakfast together. I came downstairs before Nicklaus and chatted with the chef. I had built a strong relationship with the workers, and we usually have conversations now and then. Nicklaus sat him down after a few minutes, and we sat in the dining area. I decided to serve myself a cup of coffee. Nicklaus gave me a stern look. “Why are you chatting with the chef and serving yourself?” he asked. Before I could say anything, I heard a loud sound on the dining table, and I looked towards

Chapter 25

Elena’s POV:I had my shower and freshened up. I walked up to the mirror in the closet and smiled when I saw the beautiful red dress Nicklaus had gotten for me for the party that night. He sure knows my favourite colour and the kind of things I like. I styled my hair into wavy curls. My skin had been glowing, and I had been looking way prettier. I decided to apply a little makeup to frame my face.When I looked at myself in the mirror, I smiled, feeling confident in myself. I wasn't just the simple girl who had never cared to apply makeup to my face, even though I was very good at it. I finally slipped into the dress. It was a maroon dress with a huge slit that stopped at my thigh. The waist was snatched, and the dress revealed my curves, which made me look elegant.Nicklaus doesn't like me wearing fitted dresses that reveal my curves in public. He likes me wearing such a dress for him alone. Why did he get a revealing dress?“This dress is too revealing. Maybe I should just change

Chapter 26

Elena’s POV:Beep, Beep, Beep, BeepI heard the sound of my beeping phone, and I stirred on the bed. I woke up very early in the morning and stretched as my phone rang. I reached for my phone and looked at the screen. I sluggishly opened my eyes and looked through the screen.It was Nicklaus calling. He had travelled to Germany for a business meeting, and he had been calling me nonstop. We had been missing each other, and we were always speaking on the phone. I picked it up immediately. I had missed his voice badly. We spoke for some time, and I began feeling nauseous and tired. I had been feeling sick for a while, so I went back to bed, hoping to sleep off and gather enough strength for the day.I woke up after a few hours and felt worse than before. I managed to roll out of bed and walk into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and splashed water on my face to revive myself. The cool water made me feel refreshed.As I looked in the mirror, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't explain

Chapter 27

Sarah’s POV: “It's not quite long since you came back from your honeymoon. I think you should do a pregnancy test, ma'am.” I heard noises coming from Elena's room.My eyes widened in shock, and I felt my jaw clench in my face. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. The word repeated itself in my mind. How could Elena be pregnant so soon?Pregnancy? Elena? This is not good for me. No, this had ruined my plans. Immediately my facial expression hardened. It was too hard to keep smiling. I just faked a smile and walked into the room to catch up with Elena. *** Earlier this morning****Earlier today, I woke up very early in the morning, and I was determined to pay a visit to Elena. I wanted to see if she was truly happy, just like what I read in the blogs, or if she had been in pain.I was aware that her husband was a billionaire’s heir, but I couldn't believe that he was healthy. All this time, I thought he was crippled, just like his old father. I lived my life full of regret, know

Chapter 28

Elena’s POV:I wanted to object to Irina's suggestion, but I was caught off guard when the door was swung open. I turned around to see who it was, expecting to see Zoey, who had just returned to Los Angeles.I couldn't believe it was Sarah standing in the doorway. I looked at her like I had seen a ghost.What could she be doing here? None of my family cared to visit me ever since I got married and moved in here.I stood up from the bed, my heart beating fast as I looked at her. What is she doing here? Is she up to something again?"Sarah? What are you doing here?" I asked calmly.I remembered how she set me up on my wedding day and ruined everything, but that her plan made me happy.Her facial expression was mixed with sadness and regret, and I frowned at her and walked to the other side of the room.I looked through the window. I wasn't ready to have any conversation with her, and at the same time I couldn't send her out of my house. She slowly walked into the room and stood close t

Chapter 29

Elena’s POV:“Zoey.” I called and wrapped my arms around her, and she hugs me tightly. “How have you been?” I nodded my head and smiled widely. “I am doing just fine.”Zoey turned in Sarah’s direction, who was standing on the other side of the room. “What are you doing here again? Haven't you caused enough harm already?” She asked, her voice stern.“I know I am not proud of what I did, and that is why I came here to apologize. I did it for the company, for Caleb’s heart,” she said.“Don't you dare mention that name again? I forbid you to mention that name where Elena is.” Zoey spoke, her voice rising.I walked up to Zoey and held her hands. “Zoey, common. It's a thing of the past, and I have moved on with my life. The most important thing here is that she has realised what she did and has come to apologise." I spoke calmly and gently. Zoey exhaled deeply, and she turned to me and said, “As long as you are now happy, that is what matters right now.” She spoke and reached for my hands

Nicklaus’ POV: Two days ago.It had been a long day at work for me. I sat behind the desk and operated my laptop. I stood up and walked around to see how the new application design was carried out.I and my team worked hand in hand to see that everything was perfect and going smoothly. I have been working to bring the company to its feet and maintain the position of being the first in the world.I got carried away with work, and before I knew it, the day had passed. I wasn't supposed to take so long, but business had to be done. I had to still maintain my position. I didn't want to mix business with you, please, but I found myself missing Elena. I couldn't wait to return to Los Angeles. I had been thinking about her since I travelled. I wondered how she was doing and if she was in good shape. I couldn't wait to see her. When I spoke with her last night, I noticed that she was sounding weak and tired, so I allowed her to sleep, hoping that she would regain her strength today. I hop
