All Chapters of Bound By Secret Heirs: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ElinaHe looked a bit awkward as he nodded.I smiled. I had been waiting for moments like this—wanting to show my abilities, wanting others to acknowledge what I could do.So I acted immediately, pressing several points on his wrist and guiding it through a range of motion.Raven’s hand seemed to move, as if trying to pull away from my grasp.“Does it hurt?” I asked, feeling a bit guilty.What if I had been too enthusiastic and ended up making it worse? He would have trouble steering again.“No. Continue.”So I kept going, repeating it a few times until I felt it had improved enough. Then I held his hand again.“You can grip my hand as hard as you can.”Raven’s eyes widened again. A second later, he did exactly as I said.He squeezed with all his strength, and I had to hold my breath slightly—he was incredibly strong.“Miss, are you alright?” he asked.I quickly nodded. “That’s enough.”His grip slowly loosened, but he didn’t let go of my hand immediately.“You need to relax your wris

ElinaI stopped in my tracks when I heard what he said. Maybe I had misheard, so I looked at him again.A frown appeared on my forehead as I thought.“I do feel a little dizzy… how did you know?”“You said you just worked yesterday. I guess they immediately threw a celebration to welcome you back, right?”Well, I had suspected it, Lucius is sharp. He’s an expert at observing everything, even things that are hardly noticeable.Satisfied with his answer, we quickly walked and soon reached his car.“You don’t want to meet my parents?” I gestured backward with my finger. “I heard you used to visit my house often.”I could feel the atmosphere between us becoming closer than before. It felt nice, as if we were friends. People who share an agreement should naturally have a friendly attitude toward each other.“No. Today, I want to meet them.”His words caught me a little off guard.If only I hadn’t disappeared back then, maybe our relationship would have been closer than it is now. Then perh

ElinaI couldn’t stop thinking about it after hearing directly from Baker about what had happened to me.If only I had asked him sooner, I would have known the truth earlier.It made me feel a little embarrassed, like someone who didn’t know how to be grateful. When we met and he looked at me like that, maybe he had been expecting a thank you. And I didn’t give it.I let out a tired sigh, my head aching slightly because of this. I’ll think about it later, but right now, I need rest.The next day, when I arrived at work, I immediately looked for Raven. He wasn’t anywhere in sight, which made me even more worried that something might have happened to him. I mean, maybe something had happened to his hand.Fear filled me. Even though I had checked it yesterday, that possibility still existed. And in just a month, he had a race coming up.I really didn’t want him to miss that race. I would regret it for the rest of my life.“Have you seen Raven, David?”I tried to stay calm as I spoke to h

ElinaYeah… I was truly angry when he brought up the child.He had been spouting nonsense this whole time, and now I was losing my patience the moment he mentioned the child.I intended to divorce him after going through the unbearable pain of feeling betrayed. But the child in my womb—God… I don’t hate it at all.…I love them. I want them.They were already inside me, already sharing so much with me.And then my happiness was gone. It disappeared while being neglected by their own father!That’s so fucking damn wrong! It should never have happened, and I’m sure the anger inside me was clearly reflected in my eyes.So why is Jonathan acting like he cares now?“…What do you mean, Elina…? My child… what did you do to my child?”He only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear. And I no longer wanted to let him act however he pleased.“Do you really think there’s still a child in this small stomach of mine?”His face flushed red. He immediately grabbed both of my shoulders roughly, shaking m

LuciusWhen I heard that Elina had been found, I truly didn’t expect it. Then I learned what had happened to her—a story that was deeply heartbreaking.I remembered her as a girl who used to smile often when we were children. We had met a few times back then, and she had always been friendly.So when my mother told me about her, she was devastated that something so cruel had happened to Elina.Someone so arrogant had deceived her and only wanted to take advantage of her.The Walker family isn’t a powerful one—nothing too difficult to deal with—and after Elina left them, their downfall came quickly.She may have been gone for a long time, growing up in hardship at an orphanage, but the blood flowing in her veins still belongs to the Everhart family, renowned for their business prowess.At my parents’ request, I attended that grand banquet. Perhaps she would be willing to accept my proposal.But when I saw that bastard trying to pressure her again, I couldn’t hold myself back and immedi
