Capture Your Heart

"It seems you've prepared these lines long ago."
Troy hits the nail on the head. And she denies it, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
She indeed has figured out these lines three days ago, knowing that Troy surely will ask her so.
"If I want to know the answer, the way you see it, will I be kept in the dark even if you don't say it?"
She sneers, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in who the child's father was at all? Did I hear you wrong? Or are you too
fickle?"
"I wasn't interested in it before. But now, I'm suddenly interested in it again."
"Even if you are interested, it won't have anything to do with you. The child is not yours."
Troy presses closer to her, looks at her straight into her eyes, and says word for word, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Good. I surely will figure it out. The content of the email William sent to you five years ago is still fresh in my mind. If that child
isn't his, I will settle all the old and new scores with him together. I will make him suffer because of what he said!"
After Troy finishes his words, he doesn't enter the elevator. Instead, he walks towards the outside of the apartment. Then Karin
roars in anger, "Why did you target William first?"
"Because he's the one who ruined it all."
Seeing that his figure fades away, Karin leans against the elevator weakly, muttering, "He isn't the only one that ruined
everything. You also had a part in it. If you had been eager to know the truth back then as you were now, how could we have
come to this point?"
Troy has always meant his words. So after he says such harsh words, Karin surely has to live every day in fear as if she were
walking on thin ice.
She is afraid that something will happen to William or his company. Because as long as something happens, it will mean that
Troy has known the truth.

Time passes by day by day as Karin is living in apprehension. She doesn't see Troy in the latter half month. If it weren't for the
fact that she would occasionally see his car parked outside, she would have thought he had gone back to Zurich.
The thing that Karin is worried about the most happens in the end. One day, at lunchtime in the canteen, she hears the staff of
the Planning Department at the next table talking about their general manager. Because they talk in such low voices that Karin
can't hear them. Even so, she knows what they were talking about is related to William.
So she pretends to sit down casually and asks, "Based on your conversation just now, what happened to the General Manager?"
"I heard that he had been beaten up by someone from the underground world..."
"Someone from the underground world?" Karin feels that her brain booms and that she can't hear what they said to her later.
After walking out of the canteen in a muddled state, she immediately takes out her cell phone to dial William's number, only to be
prompted that his cell phone had been turned off. In an instant, she is so worried that she isn't in the mood to work anymore. So
she picks up her bag, runs out of the company, and goes to William's residence.
William lives alone. She rings the doorbell for a long time before a maid opens the door. Then the maid asks politely, "Who are
you looking for?"
"May I ask if William is here?" Seeing the maid's bewildered look on her face, she immediately changes her tone, "Is Caleb living
here?"
"How are you connected to Mr. Caleb?"
"I'm his employee. I heard he was injured and came here to see him."
Karin knows that William lived here. But she has never been here. So the housemaid naturally treats her as a stranger.
"Mr. Caleb is not at home. He is still in the hospital."
"Which hospital is he in?"
"the People's Hospital."
"Okay, thanks..."

She rushes to the People's Hospital. The moment when she sees William, she feels that the feeling in her heart is beyond words.
William has been seriously injured with multiple fractures and bandages wrapped all over his head, which reminds Karin of Jacob
back then. Then her eyes are immediately moistened...
"I'm not dead yet. Would it be too early for you to cry now?"
William opens his eyes and sees Karin. Then a look of surprise and amazement shows in his eyes.
"How did you offend someone from the underground world?"
Although Karin knows the reason in her heart, she still unconsciously blurts out such a question, hoping that it is just a
misunderstanding rather than the way she thinks in her heart.
"I would also like to know the reason why..."
William moves his body in depression and furrows his eyebrows tightly because of the pain.
"How do you know?"
"I heard it from the conversation of the colleagues during lunch."
He smiles bitterly, "It's true that bad news has wings..."
"Did you call the police?"
"Forget it. Although we are living in a society governed by the law, the ones from the underground world here are more rampant
than those in any other place. As the saying goes, the more dangerous a place is, the safer it will be, those people know it better
than the ones working for the government."
"Then did you just admit you are unlucky? Aren't you afraid that they will come to you again in the future?"
William looks at her meaningfully and asks expectantly, "Can I interpret your words as that you care about me a lot?"
Karin is speechless, wondering what she could say. After all, she knows that all of this surely has something to do with Troy.
She gets up after chatting with William for a while. Then she leaves the hospital. Walking on the lively street, she feels like
walking at the crossroads of her life. And she is confused as to which direction to choose. Moreover, she is eager to find Troy
and ask him if he was responsible for William's incident. However, even though she has such a thought in her heart, it doesn't

mean she will carry it out. Over the five years, time has transformed her fundamentally and yet cruelly. She is no longer as
impulsive as she used to be. She has learned to be patient. She has learned to wait and see what will happen quietly. And never
will she mess herself up unless it is the last resort.
After another week, William has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home. As Karin, who has been anxious all
the time, is temporarily relieved, another accident happens.
This time, it is Hankseuk that is the target.
As the new clothes designed six months ago are being put into the production line, another clothing company, which is one step
ahead of them, puts their clothes on sale, whose texture and style are both the same as the clothes they designed, putting the
company suddenly into unprecedented chaos. It means that all the clothes produced in their factory will become scraps. And
none of the clothes can be put on sale. Otherwise, Hankseuk would be judged to copy the design of another company.
When William, who hasn't recovered, struggles to go to the company to hold an emergency meeting for countermeasures
discussions, Karin is full of guilt in her heart. She is just like this. Even if everyone in the world is hostile to her, she can't do the
same to them.
That night, she has been hesitant for a long time. Then she goes up to the ninth floor and knocks on the door of Troy's room.
The door opens. And a strong smell of alcohol overwhelms her. She collects herself and says, "If you're not conscious now, then
I'll come to you another day."
As soon as she turns around, her arm is pulled by the man in the room. And she hears his magnetic voice, "I'm not drunk."
With a little force, Troy pulls her into the room and then closes the door.
"If you come to me for the sake of William, I will never spare you."
He circles her against the door in his both arms. With a profound and burning look in his eyes, he looks at her.
"Unfortunately, I came here exactly for his sake."
"What are you doing here? To beg for mercy? To atone for your sins?"
"Let's settle this feud between the two of us and stop hurting innocent people."

"Is he innocent?" Troy suddenly roars, "Except for that child, no one is innocent, including me!"
"Then what exactly do you want? Even if you beat up William, why did you leak out the design of our company's clothes, making
everyone's hard work over half a year all go to waste?
"If William can't even solve this trivial matter, then he doesn't deserve to be an executive of a company."
"Then please tell me, what is your reason for doing this?"
What Karin is truly concerned about is whether Troy has already ascertained something.
"The reason is simple. William is by your side all day long, which makes me very unhappy."
"Is that all?"
"You want to know if I've checked out on that child? Let me tell you frankly, my dealing with William is a way for me to check on
the child. If that child has something to do with him, you surely will come to me for his sake. I am so disappointed. Indeed, you
are here..."
Karin doesn't correct him as she says, "Then how can you let him go?"
Troy smiles sarcastically. And the look in his eyes suddenly becomes so profound and inscrutable that she can't guess his mind
at all.
He approaches her step by step. And when her mind briefly goes blank, she sees him bend down. Then she hears him whisper
in her ears, "If you want me to let him go, you have to stay with me tonight..."
