Chapter: Don't Become What we are running From.Beeeep- beeeep- beeeep.I came back to consciousness in pieces and the first thing that I heard was the sharp beeping of a monitor, then light and I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.“Mmmh”. I groaned trying to move.“Elowen, Don't move”. Cassian said with a rough voice.I felt relieved when I saw him.“I'm here”. He said but this time in a softer tone.My hands flew instinctively to my stomach.“My babies…”. I croaked.“They are okay”,Cassian said immediately.“Both of them”.I heaved a big sigh of relief and tears slid down my temples.Doctor Wright came in and told me that I had frightened them.“The twins are strong”. She said,“What happened?” I said in whispers.“Stress-induced contraction”, she explained. “Your body is under so much pressure”.Her eyes flickered briefly to Cassian. She told him that emotional stress can be dangerous as physical traumas and guilt flashed across his face.“I'll give you both privacy”. She said before stepping out.Cassian sat beside the bed with

Chapter: The First Court Move“The twins are part of an unresolved engagement contract”.The sentence replayed in my head that night until my chest ached.I could not sleep that night.In the morning, the house felt so different. Tenser like something bigger was going to happen.—--Cassian called for an emergency meeting before breakfast and different lawyers arrived in black cars.Both men and women with calm faces and dangerous intelligence.I sat quietly at the end of the long table.While Cassian stood at the head with a commanding and controlling aura.“This claim has no legal standing”, one of the lawyers said confidently.“Children can't be bound to a business agreement”.“Unless”, another added slowly, “the engagement contract included a future heir clause”.My heart skipped.Cassian's eyes darkened and he squeezed his fists in rage.“She wouldn't dare”, he said.“Mmmh…she already has”, the lawyer replied, looking through the brim of his eye glass and sliding a document forward.I stared at the paper. It

Chapter: Lines Drawn“Is she right?”I asked softly this time. A..about the engagement”.The sentence Yura made kept ringing in my head as I looked up to Cassian in expectation of a good answer.“Yes”. He finally said.And it felt like a sledgehammer hit me.“But not the way she made it sound”. He said quickly.Cassian made me follow him to a quiet living room with a floor to ceiling windows.Cassian narrated how his father was expanding into Asia. then, Korean was critical. And Yura's family controlled access.I sat down slowly.“Was she part of a deal?”, I whispered.“Yes,” he admitted. “An engagement arranged by our families”.Cassian told me that he doesn't love Yura. He told me how she threatened him and how his father paid for silence and sent him to London when she threw herself on the stairs and claimed that he pushed her.“What about the company?” I asked.He looked at me.“I still own part of it”. He admitted.“My father insisted. He said it was a "leverage”.“What? Leverage over who?” I asked

Chapter: The Woman from Korea"Are you hurt, Huh?” Cassian said standing at the doorway and scanning me from head to toe. I was so dumbfounded. My phone fell from my hands and hit the floor between us and Cassian picked it up and read the screen.His face changed and his calmness vanished as soon as he started reading the message on my phone.“Who sent this?” He asked calmly.“I.. I don't know,” I whispered. “I feel like they knew things about you. About Korea”.Cassian looked at me for a while and said “Come with me”.I followed him without asking any questions.“You didn't tell me everything”, I said softly.“You are right”. Cassian admitted.He poured himself a drink but didn't offer me one. He told me that Korea was supposed to be a chapter that was buried.“There was a business expansion and strategic alliance”. He said.“A woman?” I asked and he nodded.He told me the woman was Yura Han and my heart skipped. I felt a sting of jealousy.He told me that Yura Han wasn't just his girlfriend but she was chose

Chapter: They finally found her!"Cassian please…”I typed.No reply yet.The door opened wider and a stranger came in wearing a suit that was too clean for a friendly visit.I gasped moving backwards.“Miss Hartwell,” he said calmly.“My name is Mr. Grant. We just want to talk with you”.“I…I don't know you”. I stuttered.“That's quite unfortunate but I'm here to take you somewhere safe”. He said with an awkward grin.“Same from who?” I asked instinctively.“Somewhere safe from people like me”. He answered.I looked around with my side eyes trying to escape from the windows but he warned.—--Inside Blackmoor tower, Cassian kept trying to reach out to me but there was no response or even signal. He signaled the security man to track her device and he discovered that they've got Elowen.—-Back inside my apartment, Grant stepped forward, appearing with two other men blocking the exit.“Get away from me”, I yelled.Grant told me that they were following orders of someone from the past.I hesitated and tried running.

Chapter: The Exposure"Oh my gosh, she didn't tell you?” She said mockingly. “Your precious Elowen collapsed right in the waiting room”.Cassian walked right close to me.“Is that true huh?”I didn't know what to say. There was no way I could tell him that I was pregnant and talk more about telling him that I was pregnant. Never!!!“I was t.. tired”. I finally said.“Haha, do people now faint when they are tired?”Yura laughed mockingly.“Enough!!”. Cassian roared at her.He came close to me and held my hands.Yura watched him do that in great bewilderment.I could say hate and jealousy in her eyes.“You have not held anyone like that before”. Yura said with a tone of jealousy.Cassian ignored and kept persuading me to open up.Yura instead intervened.“She fainted from shock”. She said, twirling her hair.“What shocked her?”Cassian asked with raised eyebrows.“Mmmh, it seems she hasn't told you”.“Stop!!” I cried.“Elowen is pregnant”. Yura bursted out smiling evilly at me.Cassian staggered back, looke
