Elena’s POV:After a short drive, we arrived at the villa. We came out of the car and walked to the red carpet with Nicklaus’ bodyguards shielding us. The camera clicked, and light flashed from different angles. Nicklaus placed his hands on my waist as we walked through the red carpet, making our way to the red carpet rolled on the floor. My palms became sweaty as we approached the crows. I exhaled and tried to calm my nerves.“I'm getting nervous,” I whispered to him. He leaned in and kissed me on the forehead. “I know people are watching us. Just be calm and be yourself. I am right here with you,” he said, assuring me.“Are you ready?” he asked.Smiling nervously, I nodded in agreement. I have only seen this on TV and every social media site; never in my life did I think I would experience such.We walked down the red carpet to the entrance. The paparazzi wouldn't stop taking pictures of our every move, and they started throwing questions at us. Nicklaus remained calm as he plac

Elena’s POV:I was surprised to see them this early in the morning, but I gestured for them to join me. “Come join me for breakfast.I was interested in knowing if they visited this morning. I watched them as they walked elegantly, carefully swaying their hips from side to side.“Sit down.” I spoke and gestured for them to sit down. The chefs served us breakfast, and the atmosphere was weird.I became curious, and I narrowed my eyes. “What brings you here?” I asked, breaking the silence. My stepmother looked at me and reached for my hands to gently squeeze them. Her eye fell on my baby bump.“Elena, I am so sorry for everything that happened. We wanted to save you from the disgrace of Caleb leaving you on your wedding day,” she said.“Mother, that's enough. I know you did it for Dad’s company, and it's fine.” I spoke.She nodded her head nervously. “Yes, that was also included, but look at you. You are very happy right now. I am so happy for you, Elena. Please forgive me,” she plead

Elena’s POV:It was already evening, and I felt anxious as I got myself prepared for the party at my parents's house. I sat in the closet and watched myself in the mirror. I exhaled deeply. “You can do this, Elena,” I muttered silently, trying to calm myself. I applied black mascara, which made my lashes long and thick. I also applied a little pink blush on my cheeks to frame my cheekbones before carefully adding the highlighter to give my skin a sparkling glow.I looked at my reflection in the mirror and admired myself. I never imagined that a day would come when I would look this pretty and live this kind of good life.Despite everything I have been through, Nicklaus has indeed changed my life for the better. He has been supportive and caring all along. Now I can't imagine my life without Nicklaus by my side.I selected Nicklaus's outfit and picked a brown Armani suit with a white inner. He slipped into it, and I gently fixed his cufflinks.He distracted me by rubbing his thumb aga

Elena’s POV:The driver drove us to the house, and we left without saying goodbye. I was feeling uneasy, and I just wanted to lay in bed and have a good rest. My energy reduced, and I rested my head on Nicklaus’ chest. While I tried to close my eyes to get some rest, I couldn't wait to get home. I was feeling so uncomfortable and my stomach was starting to ache a little.We arrived at the mansion, and the driver parked in front of the building. Nicklaus got out of the car and helped me get out too. He held my hands, and we walked slowly into the building. I couldn't take it anymore. I was too weak to climb the stairs, so I sat on the couch in the living room. Nicklaus's facial expression turned serious, and he squatted in front of me. “Elena, are you sure you are doing okay? Would you like me to take you upstairs?” he asked. I shook my head. “I just need to catch my breath,” I said, closing my eyes and resting my head on the couch. I took in a few deep breaths to calm myself down,

Elena’s POV:I slowly regained consciousness and blink my eyes open. Everywhere seemed to be blurry, and my body felt numb. I tried to look around and understand my body, but I was too weak to do that. I tilted my head sideways until I could strain my eyes. There was someone sitting beside me. I could hear the silent noises as if he were calling my name, and his hands reached out to me gently. “Elena, Elena. Can you see me? How are you doing?” he asked. His voice was calm and soft, and the person reached for my hand.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words wouldn't come out of my mouth. My throat was dry, and my voice was hoarse.“What happened?” I asked sluggishly, and my voice was husky. I looked around to see that I was in a completely different environment."Easy, Elena, easy... Take it easy.” The voice murmured in a gentle tone. “Nicklaus, what's going on?” I asked. Trying to keep my cool and understand the situation.I struggled to pay attention to what was going on with m
