Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 519

“I don’t know if you’ve put the hospital on checking me, but I know my body has an issue.

“I worked for Eric because his subordinate research team developed a drug that causes dependency. It’s addictive, like a narcotic. It’s not the sort of narcotic that you’d see on the market, but he’d developed it with his own team. Other than having him provide the drug to slow the dependency, other medications won’t work at all. Eric’s controlled a great deal of people this way. Even the best soldiers and mercenaries who’d seen battle couldn’t resist it.

“It takes a month of injecting the drug into one’s body to cause addiction. I couldn’t fight it, either, so I wanted to ask you for your help.”

“What is it? Just say it.”

Robert said that steadily. Kayden sighed, her eyes sad.

“I don’t want to become an unrecognizable madwoman before Aston. I can’t imagine how my psyche will end up without the drug provided by Eric, and how my body’s going to end up. I’ve seen how horribly the people who’re punished to go without the drug end up. Some of them even wanted to kill themselves. I’d like you to put me in a secure location.

“I don’t expect you to cure me. I just want you to tie me up so I won’t hurt myself, and that I won’t be captured by the enemy when I’m going mad. Especially Eric’s men. After all, I helped you on this. It shouldn’t be too much to ask for this in return.”

“I understand. I’ll arrange it.”

Robert agreed, and he made another promise.

“I’ll put a team into researching the drug in your system and try to cure you. If we can’t, I’ll have them at least try to control it and regain your normal senses.”

Kayden smiled.

“Thank you. Now you can ask me anything you like.”

“Why did you get close to Aston? And why did you attack my mother? I hope you’ll be able to speak honestly about your intentions.”

“A year ago, I was still working for Mr. Knight. You know about this, Ms. Lane, and we’ve seen it back then.

“Back then when Mr. Knight threatened Robert to come save you, too much happened that day on that island. Mr. Knight passed away, and I fled, injured. After I woke up, I found myself shut in Eric’s underground lab, injected with drugs. I just wanted to be loyal to Mr. Knight alone, so I didn’t want to work for Eric. He did all that against me, after all.

“I thought I could resist the drug, but I failed. So I obeyed. The first mission Eric gave me was to infiltrate the Ace Group’s hematology project and steal all the data. I chose to stay by Aston’s side and spy on the group from that angle. I felt like he was easier to approach. He looked cold, but he’s a gentle, straightforward man.

“I acted all along beside him. The project was taking almost half a year, and to stay longer beside him and to move more freely out there, I had a romance with him so that Eric would think that it was going well on my end and needed more time. After all, their own project wasn’t over yet, so Eric didn’t suspect me. Just one year later, I’d already stolen the project’s data, and I should have come back to Eric’s side for other missions already. But I didn’t want to go back, so I found an excuse with Eric and said I wanted to take revenge for Mr. Knight, hoping that Eric would give me a chance.

“Robert just so happened to end up in Eric’s sights, so he had me continue to stay by Aston’s side and try to approach Robert and you, Georgia. Eric still didn’t have a clear grasp of Robert’s condition back then, and he only treated him as a person of interest. I never got anywhere, and I might have let something slip, leading Eric to think I was possibly betraying him. So I used my excuse back then to attack your mother.

“I treated your mother as the person behind Mr. Knight’s death all along. If your mother hadn’t come over and introduced more chaos, Mr. Knight might not have died. To be honest, Miss Lane, I did hold a grudge against your mother. I thought about having her die along with Mr. Knight, because he’d always wanted that woman by his side. Those were truly what I thought. No one told me to think that way, and I wasn’t forced to attack your mother.”
