Once, they had been in love. But now, they were speaking the most cruel and hurtful words to each other.
Anyone else could have said those words, buting from Eric, they carried apletely different weight.
Why hadn''t she died out there?
No one had wanted her toe back alive.
The only ones who had hoped for her safe return-her parents-were no longer in this world.
"Kelly." After saying those words, Eric''s entire body trembled with tension. He gripped the pen tightly, his voice filled with remorse. "I''m sorry, Kelly, just this once, please listen to me. You may not understand now, but one day, you will."
Eric had made up his mind. He was going to climb higher. No matter what it took, no matter the cost, he was going to surpass Beau.
He needed to be more potent than Beau, to amass enough influence to give Kelly the freedom to be as willful as she wanted.
"I won''t sign it," Kelly dered stubbornly. "My husband supports every decision I make."
She red at Eric as if seeking herst bit of strength.
"Zev won''t make it! If he shows up today, I''ll stop forcing you! Do whatever you want then!" Eric mmed his hand against the table in frustration. "Kelly, why don''t you get it? A man like Zev may act like he supports you, but in reality, he''s the mostughable, naive, and pathetic kind of person!"
Clutching his wound, Eric stood up, his eyes bloodshot. "What can he even do for you? Your so-called support is meaningless if he can''t even protect himself. Is he just going to stand there and shout slogans? If he were powerful, the heir to the Lockharts, the heir of the Hardisons, or anyone who could stand up to Beau, I''d ept it! But he''s nothing more than a street thug!
"A man who needs you to protect him-can he really be called a man?" Eric stared down at Kelly. "I can''t protect you right now, but everything I''ve endured, every humiliation I''ve suffered, is for the future-for the day I can be your pir of support so you can act however you want! Kelly, but now is not the time. Just bear with it for a little while, okay?"
The conference room fell silent. Everyone was staring at Eric.
His wound was bleeding again, a testament to how worked up he was.
"Zev wille. I trust him." Kelly''s voice was hoarse.
She wasn''t waiting for Zev but searching for something to hold onto.
Something to keep her afloat when she felt like she was drowning.
Bang!
The conference room door was suddenly thrown open.

Behind him stood the heir of the Hardison, Caden.

The people Gaden brought with him were all wealthy second-generation heirs- entitled, reckless, and untouchable.
Any one of them was trouble enough on their own.
"What the hell are you guys doing? Who let you in?" The PR department''sckeys tried to intervene.
"Hey, hey, hey, touch me and see what happens. This jacket? Thirty-eight thousand. This watch? A million. Can you afford to pay if you mess them up?" One
of the wealthy heirs scoffed, keeping theckeys at bay.
"Is this hospital engaged in illegal detention now?" Caden sneered, blocking their way as Zev stepped into the conference room.
Zev exuded a dark and heavy presence as he limped toward Kelly.
Kelly sat there, her tense body finally rxing when she saw him. Her head lowered, and tears began to fall silently.
"No way. How did you get out?" Eric was in disbelief that Zev had managed to free himself.
"Ha, I figured you''d pull some dirty tricks," Zev scoffed. "So I made sure I was never alone with your daughter. Oh, and by the way-my living room has security cameras. That''s just a habit of mine." He chuckled coldly and took a seat beside Kelly, pushing Eric aside. Taking Kelly''s hand, he whispered, "Honey, sorry to make you worry. Took me a bit longer to gather evidence. Mostly because I had to wait on the police station''s forensic results. That was a waste of time."
Red-eyed and choking on her words, Kelly tried to speak but couldn''t.
"Zev, even if you''re out, you should know how things work in the real world! This is just a confidentiality agreement." Eric grew frantic.
With Zev here, Kelly would never sign.
"What confidentiality agreement?" Zev nced at the document on the table. "Trying to take advantage of my legal ignorance? Even if someone signs this, it''s invalid. Anything signed under uwful detention doesn''t hold up in court. You really think this is going to work?"
"Hah! Arrogant." A voice scoffed from the doorway. Beau entered, bringing more people with him.
"Even if you brought these rich kids along today, without that signed agreement, none of you are leaving this room." Beau had officially dropped all pretenses.
Caden sneered. "Wow, Dr. Lynch, feeling bold, huh? Not even giving me face?” Beau scoffed. "Mr. Caden, you don''t have the authority to negotiate with me. Get Sidney toe if you
want to talk."
Caden''s expression darkened. "Sidney doesn''t waste time on scum like you."
"Beau," Zev tightened his grip on Kelly''s hand, speaking softly to her. "Honey, we''re not signing anything. If you don''t want to sign, then we won''t."

"Who''s suffering? What''s going on here?" A deep, authoritative voice echoed from the hallway.
Gary entered, apanied by several high-ranking officials, their expressions stormy as they surveyed the
scene.
"Beau, what the hell do you think you''re doing? Running this ce like the
mafia?" The fury in his voice was unmistakable.
Beau''s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
