Four weeks later, I was diagnosed with cancer. It was also the same day I found out I was four weeks pregnant.
To this day, I don't know whose baby it was.
Moonshine was undergoing a situation and you had to leave the country, so I didn’t bother you with this new information.
I decided to go to Eda.
Laura and Ralph left the country that year. Laura got a role for a bigshot movie, and you know how Ralph couldn’t live a second without her. He announced Eda as interim CEO before he left with Addie and Laura.
She was in charge.
She was my only option.
She was my friend.
I walked into the office confident, ready totell her about everything. Except, nothing happened the way I expected it to.
I’ll never forget the look on her face. The cold, indifferent expression she pointed at me when I handed her the pregnancy test.
She pulled out a long horizontal booklet and wrote something in it. I had such high hopes for justice, for something.
What I got was a check.
A five hundred-thousand-dollar check thrown at me.
“For the abortion,” she said before turning her attention back to her computer screen.
I was in shock. Complete and utter shock. I’ve never seen her like this. I’ve never seen her so… evil. That’s when I blackmailed her, although I probably shouldn’t have. Her actions were terrible and inhuman. I told her I’d tell Ralph; I’d tell him everything.
That’s when I started preparing all of this.
I hired lawyers.
I went to the hospital for reports.
All I’m missing is the pictures they took and all I know is that Eda might have them. I’m not sure where. I might be wrong, but she didn’t bat an eye when I told her. My gut tells me she has them somewhere.
I was so close to finishing this, to putting those whoresons in jail.
Six months later, Ralph and Laura died.
And I had a miscarriage.
I gave up everything because they left their precious baby behind. I no longer had it in me to fight for myself. I dropped this and found happiness within Christian and Adelaide.
I suppose in time, all truths come out.
Forever yours,
Kim Eunbin
TWENTY-SIX
ADELAIDE
There was exactlyone week until my wedding and today was my first day back as CEO of Starlight.
I didn’t know who pulled the ropes, but it was happening, and Adelaide Mikael was officially back.
