Rinyoung couldn't hold in her laughter— the sound of the joyous yet mocking chuckles filtering through the room, making the man's expression harden. Through her laughs, she spoke breathily. "Me? Pregnant? You really are funny, too bad you didn't become a comedian," She teased, a smug grin hung to her lips.

"I think I would know first if I was pregnant or not," Rinyoung couldn't believe what she was hearing. Everything was so weird to her— tied to a chair, given the news of her unborn child and seeing her brother who she hadn't made contact in forever.

"Is this some prank? You've got to be kidding, right? How would you even know? Did you make me pee while I was unconscious? And why are you going on about inheritance? Dad's not giving—" Interrupting the banter that fell continuously, Jaebum scoffed.

"Dad wants to give you the company," He seethed, the frustration and annoyance that he had buried deep down finally peaking through his words. "Because you have a heir,"

"A. Hyun woo isnt even mines, and B. once again, I'm not pregnant," Rinyoung felt irritated, feeling that the conversation had dragged on long enough. "I have a surprise to do—"

"Do you remember Mark?"

"Mark Tuan?" She questioned, not entirely getting what he was trying to get at.

"While examining you for any tracking chip, he saw something weird," Jaebum's eyes traveled from hers to her stomach, prompting Rinyoung's orbs to follow his and look at her abdomen area.

"And? Okay, I'm a little fat and bloated, is there a problem?" She deadpanned, eyebrows furrowing in bewilderment.

"Don't you think i said that?" The older hissed, his eyes narrowing into a hard glare. "But of course, we wanted to see if his suspicions were correct."

"Mhm, okay," The raven haired nodded in disbelief, tired of hearing about the out of proportion speculations.

"One careful ultra sound later, and look at that, you're pregnant,"

"You're lying," She hissed, rolling her eyes painfully slow. "Mom always said that we can't conceive children for some reason."

Sighing heavily, Jaebum reached his hand into his jacket— pulling out a few black and white photos. Without a care, he threw them on the ground in front of her, making Rinyoung's lips drop into a frown.

"Wow, thanks, I really can see it. Wow look at that," She gasped sarcastically, looking up at her brother with a bored expression.

Startling her, Rinyoung was kicked at the back of her chair, pushing her forward and having her fall on her knees. The wooden chair slammed against her back, making the raven haired grit her teeth. Luckily, she held her face up, preventing it from hitting the concrete flooring, just above the three pictures.

"Do you have a better view, babe?" The mysterious blonde woman cackled aloud, clapping her hands in amusement at her own doing.

"Yeah, I love it," She sassed in return, moving her orbs to the images.

Her eyes traced over the ultrasound, seeing the grainy visual of a developing baby. Though it looked like a discombobulated blob, it was clear as day that it was a baby. Her baby.

She lifted her head up to meet her brother's gaze.

"You know what?"

"What?" He smiled sinisterly.

"Fuck you,"

"Awh look at that, she has a mouth," The other woman pulled the back of the chair up, settling the legs back onto the ground again, having Rinyoung sit up.

"So what do you want me to do? Not like i'm gonna do it—"

"Oh, you will want to," Jaebum chimed, nodding his head which prompted a masked man to walk into her, a laptop held at his chest, opened to a monitor. Just as her eyes fell on the screen, she could see Hyun woo and Donghyuck sat on the living room couch, curled up together as they watched a cartoon. The perspective looked to be as if it was zoomed in. And for a split second a red dot flashed on the side of her soulmate's head, before she could say something, the unidentifiable man turned the screen to another monitor where it showed the same beige one story house she visited not too long ago. "Unless you want everyone around you to suffer, than i suggest you to obey,"

"You're an asshole you know that?"

"So, I've been told," He smirked cockily.

"Why can't i just give the company to you and you leave me alone after?" She sighed in sudden exhaustion. The stress of her current situation weighing on her shoulders like heavy bricks.

"Father wants you back in the house, and of course he's not too keen on me taking over, so of course with your persuasion and presence once again, he'd ease more into the idea," he answered simply, "As well as you can give a heir. You'll meet another significant person in the industry who's without a soulmate, and your first child will legally be under me, being my heir, all while creating a business agreement with the second party,"

"So, I'm just some pawn?" Rinyoung muttered in disbelief.

"Be grateful I'm even allowing you to still live in luxury." He seethed, his expression hardening.

"Why can't I just keep the current baby?"

"It's bred with the poor,"  He replied as if it was obvious, "It won't stand in the industry,"
