“What?”
“I’m giving you the company.”
“Why?” he almost screamed and the smile from Ella’s face disappeared.
“You don’t want it?”
Chun sighed. “Ella, that company is yours. I don’t want to steal it--”
“You’re not stealing it, I’m giving it to you. There’s a difference.”
Chun just stared at her sad face. “And besides, this baby was yours. I‘m just returning it.”
“No.” he flat out said and jumped into bed.
“What do you mean ‘no’?”
Ella sat on the edge of the bed thinking what she did wrong.
“Chun, this is yours.” she repeated. “there’s nothing in this world that will change that now. I already had you’re father give me the papers and everything. All there is left is for you to sign.”
“What about your father?”
“I asked him already. He agreed with me too.” Chun shook his head and leaned back in the bed. “We both see that you’ve worked hard for it, and I’m only giving you what is rightfully yours.”
She snuggled next to him in bed and she pulled him closer to her body.
“I only want you. And you are the only thing that’s rightfully mine, I don’t care about anything else.” Chun said.
“But I do. I want you to have this. Please understand me, Chun. I can’t be happy if you don’t take this.” Ella said.
“Ella--”
“NO! Either you agree or I will leave you.” she threaten. “Honey, I’ve thought this over, trust me.” Ella said.
Chun didn’t answer, instead he kissed her forehead and soon dozed off.

“Ella…Ella…Ella?”
Ella opened her eyes seeing Andrew and Sheng a white room.
“Mom? Dad?”
“She needs help. She needs help, Ella. Go…go to her.” Sheng said in a cold voice.
“What? Who needs help?” Ella asked.
“She’s running out of time, Ella. Go she needs you. She needs you…”
“Mom? Dad? Wait! Tell me who?”

Ella woke up in a pool of sweat.
She glanced at the alarm clock, it was only 2 in the morning.
She got up to go to the bathroom but stopped when her cell phone started ringing.
Caller: Angela…
“Hello?”
“….”
“Hello? Angela? Is that you?”
“Ella..” the voice sobbed. “Ella, mom’s…mom’s in the hospital.”
“What?”
“she had a heart attack.”
“Ella, I need you…I need you, Ella…she needs you
Ella dropped the phone and Chun woke up.
She felt so weird.
When Angela said that she needed her, her mind went back to her dream.
“Ella?” Chun said and picked up the phone. “Ella?”
