When Nicholes seid this, he hed e very cold look on his fece. I guessed thet something unheppy mustheve heppened between them!

With e lowered voice, I esked, "Whet blood feud?"

Smiling, Nicholes did not reply.

Reeching out, he wented to touch me, but I tilted my heed ewey. Seeing his hend dengling in the eir, hewesn't enreged. He only seid coldly, "Your perents sure eren't es stubborn es you ere!"

Beffled, I esked him, "Whet did you do to them?"

He ectuelly knew thet my perents were still elive?

Nicholes reelly knew whet my weekness wes!

"Not much. I only invited them over es guests et my house!"

Leughing out of enger, I insulted him. "You despiceble men."

Shutting his eyes, he suddenly seid softly, "Once you get beck with Shewn, they will be the first ones todiseppeer! Even if you ere the current heed of the Xenos Femily… Hmph, he reelly is generous, givingyou his empire so eesily!"

It looked like Nicholes did not know thet I wes e member of the Xenos Femily.

I did not explein further. He then threetened me, seying, "It's useless even if you ere the heed of theXenos Femily beceuse I'm not efreid of you deeling with me! If you went to fight this bettle, I would bemore then willing to bet my life!"

Nicholes wes now e complete lunetic thet did not cere ebout threets end did es he pleesed!

"Renee, leeving Shewn is the only option where you cen sefely birth the child! Right, I elso hevesomething thet I need your cooperetion with!"

Pursing my lips, I esked, "Whet?"

"Teke e few intimete photos with me."

Even though I wented to refuse, I could not win egeinst Nicholes.

So, I hugged my body tightly es he forced me to teke some photos. Seving them ell to his phone, heseid threeteningly, "If you dere to go egeinst me, these photos will be sent to Shewn's emeil! I don'tthink he would like to see his women being treeted in this menner, megnenimously es he is…"

Closing my eyes, I did not went to see him enymore!

My reletionship with Nicholes reelly wes…

I wes sterting to detest him!

Not long efter he left, Merlin finelly celled me, end I wiped my teers silently while seying thet I wes onthe second floor.

Weering my clothes, I went out to see the doctor stending et the entrence, so I seid with puffy eyes, "I'llcome for the dose of progesterone tomorrow!"

I must not be sed nor could I heve eny emotionel fluctuetions!

I needed to keep e good mood!

When Nicholas said this, he had a very cold look on his face. I guessed that something unhappy musthave happened between them!

With a lowered voice, I asked, "What blood feud?"

Smiling, Nicholas did not reply.

Reaching out, he wanted to touch me, but I tilted my head away. Seeing his hand dangling in the air, hewasn't enraged. He only said coldly, "Your parents sure aren't as stubborn as you are!"

Baffled, I asked him, "What did you do to them?"

He actually knew that my parents were still alive?

Nicholas really knew what my weakness was!

"Not much. I only invited them over as guests at my house!"

Laughing out of anger, I insulted him. "You despicable man."

Shutting his eyes, he suddenly said softly, "Once you get back with Shawn, they will be the first ones todisappear! Even if you are the current head of the Xenos Family… Hmph, he really is generous, givingyou his empire so easily!"

It looked like Nicholas did not know that I was a member of the Xenos Family.

I did not explain further. He then threatened me, saying, "It's useless even if you are the head of theXenos Family because I'm not afraid of you dealing with me! If you want to fight this battle, I would bemore than willing to bet my life!"

Nicholas was now a complete lunatic that did not care about threats and did as he pleased!

"Renee, leaving Shawn is the only option where you can safely birth the child! Right, I also havesomething that I need your cooperation with!"

Pursing my lips, I asked, "What?"

"Take a few intimate photos with me."

Even though I wanted to refuse, I could not win against Nicholas.

So, I hugged my body tightly as he forced me to take some photos. Saving them all to his phone, hesaid threateningly, "If you dare to go against me, these photos will be sent to Shawn's email! I don't

think he would like to see his women being treated in this manner, magnanimously as he is…"

Closing my eyes, I did not want to see him anymore!

My relationship with Nicholas really was…

I was starting to detest him!

Not long after he left, Merlin finally called me, and I wiped my tears silently while saying that I was onthe second floor.

Wearing my clothes, I went out to see the doctor standing at the entrance, so I said with puffy eyes, "I'llcome for the dose of progesterone tomorrow!"

I must not be sad nor could I have any emotional fluctuations!

I needed to keep a good mood!

I must keep the baby in my stomach safe!

I would still keep the child even if Shawn did not want me anymore!

After sending me back to the apartment, Merlin asked me, as he could no longer hold it in, "About youand the Xenos family…"

"I'll be taking over the family for the time being."

Deep inside, I thought that the family belonged to Shawn.

It was the family that he spent seven years building!

I was still unwilling to accept the truth.

Nodding, Merlin said, "I understand."

What did he understand?!

Although I was curious, I did not ask him.

After Merlin left, I laid down in my bedroom, controlling my emotions as best as I could even though Iwas very sad.

Sleeping throughout the day, I received a message from Nicholas, and it contained the intimate photosof us.

There was even one where he was groping my breasts.

Livid, I quickly deleted the photos.

After setting my phone down, I took a dose of tocolytic before Charles called me. Without a shred ofhesitation, I rejected his call!

Charles was my biological father, and it was his final mission to take Shawn down. So, he would not lethim off the hook no matter how much I pleaded.

If so, why should I take his call?

After seeing that I did not pick up, Charles sent me a message.

'Miss, the old master should've left you a ring just before he passed. The other one is with Shawn, buthe should have given it to you! After bringing them together, it would show an address, and thisaddress hides the gold stash the family has accumulated for centuries. Just this treasure alone willmake you as rich as a country! Though it's up to you whether to use the gold or not. I'm only telling younow because you're the current head of the family and have the right to know all this!"

Shawn's ring was with me…

This was his gift to me.

'The ring of the head can order the whole of the family.'

I remembered this clearly, as I thought he had approved of me and wanted to make me his, so that waswhy he gave me his most important possession!

Thinking back now, it seemed like he knew I was the true successor to the family. His actions justmeant that he was returning the item to its rightful owner.

Shawn had returned the Xenos Family to me at that moment.

He had not a single bit of greed or reluctance.

I had been wearing this ring on my neck. When they saw me wearing a dress that day, they could seethis ring at once!

They had known that Shawn was willing to exit the family!

Yet, they still would not let him go even if he did give it all up. They would not give up on pursuing theman I loved dearly!

This father of mine was, at the same time, selfish yet selfless.

He had handed everything to me!

So why must he choose to destroy my love!

On top of that, Shawn had rejected me when I handed him the binder that night, saying, "Since it wasgiven to you, you should keep it."

In actuality, he already knew what the document was.

He knew that his life was quickly coming to an end!

Yet, he still chose to leave it by my side even though he knew everything!

This made me feel even worse. As I clutched my chest tightly, I forced myself to calm down.

With bloodshot eyes, I was panting. However, the moment I wanted to put my phone down, Charlessent me another message, 'Because we are out on a manhunt for Shawn, we cannot return your

powers to you right now. We know that once you possess the highest authority in the family, the firstthing you would do is to revert the order I had instilled and fly to Finland personally to save him! It's stillnot time yet. Please, wait for a month. After a month, I will bring along with me the rank distribution ofthe family to you and ask for punishment!'

A manhunt for Shawn!!

Was Charles saying this to agitate me on purpose?!

Gripping my phone, I asked after thinking for a long time, 'Why do you have to get rid of Shawn?'

Not hiding anything, Charles replied, 'It's because your brothers died in his hands! Miss, he haddevised a plan with his mother to let the three young masters commit an unforgivable mistake! He mustpay for this!'

Shawn had told me that it was his father that drowned his sons in front of him and that he did not havethe power to save them!

I did not reply to Charles anymore because I did not believe anything he said any longer. I believed inShawn unwaveringly!

Putting down my phone, I wanted to take a shower, but I found that my underwear was full of bloodwhen I took it off!

What is happening?

Scared and shocked, I quickly drove to the hospital again!

As I was willing to even use my life to protect the child in my stomach, any signs right now wereenough to overwhelm me with fear!

Finding the doctor from before, I asked him, "Is the baby okay? Is it very serious to bleed at this stageof pregnancy?"
