Lahat ng Kabanata ng Echoes of Betrayal: The Billioanire’s Regret: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Elena’s POV:I lay on my bed, still sobbing from an argument I just had with my dad. I hadn't felt this used in my life.All they just wanted was for me to fulfil my own part of the deal. I was even feeling satisfied that Nicklaus and I had found love, but I couldn't understand what was going on. There was nobody to stand up and fight for me. I am weak. Irina sat beside me as she consoled me. I cried continuously when I heard a loud sound coming from the hallway.I sat upright and whipped my eyes while giving Irinaa a questioning look. “Who are those?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. I quickly stood up and opened the door when I saw Nicklaus and three of his bodyguards. Nicklaus's eyes fell on me. “Oh, there you are,” he said, and he walked into my room. I quickly stood up. “Nicklaus, what's going on?” I asked, narrowing my eyes and waiting for answers.He scanned the room and fixed his eyes on me. “I see you have moved into this room. What are you hiding?” He asked, boring deeply in

Nicklaus’s POV:I stormed out of the room in anger. Elena couldn't even prove herself, which means everything was true. She claimed to love me, but it had been a plot all this time to steal from me. I hurriedly walked out of the room; my feet were heavy with pain and anger. I walked down the hallway, and footsteps echoed in the hallway. I walked out of the house to the waiting car parked in front of the building, collected the keys from the driver, and took the driver's seat. I adjusted the mirrors, tightened my seat belts, and put the car into gear. I zoomed off into the streets of Los Angeles.I was driving at full speed, and my anger was rising. My hands held the shell tightly, and I felt a rush of adrenaline in my body. I just wanted to go far away—away from my problems, away from Elena. Was she in touch with her ex-fiance? Was she planning to use my money and run away with him? I think that is the reason she always had nightmares. Did he threaten her to do it because she could

Nicklaus’s POV:I walked into my office building and ignored all of the greetings from my employees. I removed my jacket and hung it on the hanger. My eyes were heavy as I sat in my office chair. It was a new day, and I had not gotten enough rest. I could barely sleep last night after the whole drama with Elena. I slept alone last night in my other penthouse, thinking it would help me, but it didn't. I wanted my space and to be away from Elena. I decided to work for some time before taking a quick break. I checked all of the blueprints and made some corrections. I quietly made out all of the errors and asked them to do it again. They wouldn't like to see my angry mode if I allowed myself to lose control. “This blueprint has a lot of corrections,” I said on the intercom as I communicated with one of the teams. “I pointed out the errors by making circles; get them done before the end of today,” I ordered before hanging up. I was typing on my laptop when a knock came through my doo

Elena’s POV:I stayed in my room all morning without going anywhere. I woke up on the floor and soaked it in my sweat. My eyes were still filled with tears, and I had a hiccup from so much crying.There was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice spoke up: “Good morning, ma'am; it's Irina. May I come in?” she asked.I sniffed and exhaled. “Come in,” I said, wiping my eyes. The door was opened slowly, and she rushed to me, seeing the state that I was in. “Ma’am, are you alright?” she asked, scanning my whole body and looking around."Ma’am, did you even get so much sleep?” she asked.I ignored her and spoke up, “Irina, prepare my bath. I need to have my bath,” I said, my voice cracking and barely above a whisper. It was very hard for me to raise my voice and speak.“Right away, ma'am,” she said, and she walked into the closet. She turned on the bath water and mixed the essential oils. The lovely fragrance filled the room. All my bones were hurting from lying on the floor, but I man

Nicklaus halted in his tracks, and his eyes widened. He turned around and fixed his gaze on Mr. Mike. “What do you mean she left the house? He asked. He didn't wait for Mr. Mike’s response. He walked into her room to search for her, but she was nowhere to be found. His eyes fell on the divorce papers on the bed, and he picked them up.He saw that she had already signed the papers, and his heart pounded hard against his chest. “Fuck!” he exclaimed.Why would she leave the house without telling me? He wondered to himself. Where would she go because he knew that her family would not accept her? Nicklaus brought out his car keys and walked into the hallway, but something made him stop in his tracks. He wondered what he was doing. “Elena is not a child; she can take care of herself. I don't care where she goes to. We are already divorced,” he said and walked to his room. He turned on the shower and allowed the cold water to cascade down his body.Meanwhile, Elena walked alone in the st
