Heidi's lips pulled into a smile, grateful at Grandpa Winston's kind tone. If only Lucas Harrison was half as kind as his grandfather.

“Your grandfather and I have been great businessmen allies, Heidi. Your grandmother is very kind and honest. Now I know where you got those good qualities from.”

“Heidi, will you come visit me soon?” Grandpa Winston asked hopefully. “It has been almost a month now since you last visited. You also left very early in the morning without saying goodbye.”

“Grandpa, as long as Lucas won't be there, I'll come.”

Heidi made herself clear, not wanting what happened the last time to repeat itself.

Grandpa Winston sounded mad. “Did that boy break your heart again, Heidi?”

“It's nothing, Grandpa. I'll see you soon.”

She just didn't want to see Lucas. Lucas turned out to be her only Achilles heel. Another encounter with the man could potentially crush the rest of her dignity.

While making the phone call, Isla had excused herself from the office, sensing Heidi was b

    Heidi's brows knitted into a frown of confusion. She gestured to the bed, nodding cautiously. “Sit down. I'm listening.”“Will you come to the AG Group tomorrow?” Natalie said, sitting down. “Why do you ask?” Heidi asked, trying to read Natalie's blank expression.But Natalie only murmured, “Just come. You'll see.” Then she stood up and left, leaving Heidi wondering if something was wrong with her.Not long after Natalie walked out, Her mother came into the room.“What was she doing in your room, Heidi?” Regina had seen Natalie leaving Heidi's room on her way here. “I hope she didn't pick a fight.”“Natalie rarely picks a fight.” Heidi shook her head, indicating that nothing happened.Regina let go of the matter because it wasn't what brought her anyway. She sat on the bed beside Heidi, giving her an inquisitive look. “Is it true that you've got a suitor, Heidi?”“Huh? What suitor?” Heidi blinked. “Come on, don't try to deny it.” Her mother flicked her on the forehead. “I should ask

    Natalie's voice resonated in the hall, and there was pin-drop silence after her last statement.The board of directors' eyes bulged out and they all sprang to their feet including Harold Olsen.“Natalie Olsen, what's the meaning of this?”“Do you know what it means to let go of this important position?”“Are you out of your mind, Natalie!” Harold shouted. “You must be mentally sick. Since this conference started, I had a feeling that something is wrong with your brain.”“I am healthy and sound, Dad,” Natalie replied, acting unbothered by their words. “The only sick place is the mind of the corrupted higher-ups who observe injustice. If you all don't agree with my decision, I might as well quit!”Now among the board of directors, although a majority of them were on Harold Olsen's side, only a few weren't corrupt.Of course, they were aware of the current situation of the Group and lived every day in fear of what would happen next.Because of Harold Olsen's involvement, they had no choi

You have to take a look at this!” Butler Luke rushed to him with his tablet.Grandpa Winston frowned. “Did I not ask you to bring me water!?”However, the Butler showed the tablet's screen to him and Grandpa Winston was forced to view the news.He forgot about the water and got up on his feet. “This- This, you mean Heidi has become the CEO?” His exclamation filled up the garden area. “Heidi is the CEO!?”Butler Luke chortled. “Isn't this a miracle?”“This is more than a miracle! Quick, servants! Summon everybody!

The physical symptoms proved that.”“Pregnant! Am I pregnant!?” Cried Tracy, the most shocked of all. “H-How? Why? How can I fall pregnant while I've only spent one night with Lucas? Is that possible?”She let her tears fall, covering her eyes, looking scared and shaken. “Lucas and I haven't planned on having a baby yet.”No one knew before, but now everyone was aware that the couple had slept together.“She can't be…” Lucas shook his head. “I

I always knew you would be victorious.”He pulled her into a hug, squeezing her tightly and Heidi gasped for breath.“I thought you left the country for real.” Heidi pushed away.“Nah!” Zach laughed. “I’ve been taking my time recovering at home and having the fun of my life until I heard the news. By the way, I have some mind-blowing news to share with you.”He sat Heidi down on the couch, sitting beside her. “What news?” His big mischievous smile made Heidi uncomfortable, anticipating what h

Can you let things go? Let's have a fresh start.”A fresh start!Heidi wanted to laugh at his words, but the hurt in her heart wouldn't let her.“Mr. Harrison, your apology doesn't matter.

They welcomed him warmly.“Son-in-law, you are finally here.”“We know you are a busy person, however, the conversation we'll have is very important. We apologize for interrupting your work.”They led him into the house, ordered the servants to bring drinks and snacks, inviting him to sit on the big couch.Tracy sat beside him, her demeanor gentle, extending her fragile hands to pour him a glass of drink. “Honey, I didn't expect you would come.”After bombarding him with text messages, she acted as if only one call from her had Lucas racing there.“Don't.” Lucas stopped her from pouring juice.

    Heidi sprang to a sitting position instantly, hearing the voice coming from the door. Dread washed over, and instinctively, she pulled her baby into her arms, her eyes darting around for any possible escape route. Heidi's first instinct was to flee, but to where?“Daddy?” Her daughter, on the other hand, jumped in excitement. “Hey, Mommy! It's Daddy! Daddy's here!”The door's handle shifted as someone juggled it from the outside. The sounds of knocking increased. “Heidi, are you inside?”Lost at what to do, Heidi just stared at the door, hugging her baby. Lucas barged into the room as he kicked the door open. He came to a screeching halt right in front of her, almost colliding into the bed. “Heidi…” as he whispered her name, Heidi's eyes locked into his. Except for the subtle changes; his once dark eyes now crystal clear, his stubbled jaws and overall demeanor, everything about him was the same. Tears pricked at her eyes and her heart hurt tremendously, wondering how she'd been a

    All eyes turned to Harold, some blinking in shock and the rest widening. Heidi was confused too that of all people, Harold Olsen was the one who believed her.But from the look of guilt on his face and the way he sank onto the floor, literally kneeling in front of her, something was definitely fishy. “Heidi, please forgive me.”Heidi flinched when he held her knees. She stared at him, frowning. “Forgive you for what, Uncle?”“What did you do Dad!?” Zach hollered, his eyes filled with horror.The others looked fearful as well.Hanging his head, Harold shook it slowly. “I know saying this is probably too late. That night, Heidi didn't lose her child. When the police found her and Natalie, I orchestrated everything that happened after.”Several gasps spread across the room.Avoiding everyone's gaze, Harold said in a melancholic tone. “Having Heidi and Lucas Harrison together at that time meant the end of my sovereignty in this family. I did that to strip Heidi of her position- and…” He

    All eyes snapped in Heidi's direction.As her sobs echoed in the living room, they all but sprang to their feet. “Ha! How many times have I told you guys to stop mentioning Heidi's name?” Lilian cried out. “Now I'm seeing Heidi's face instead of this lady who appeared from nowhere with a child!”“Are you seeing Heidi? I'm also seeing her!” Natalie gasped. “That's impossible, right?”“Unless we're all out of our minds!” Kate cackled. “Because we all might be seeing Heidi.”Lifting her head, Heidi glanced at everyone's face. Her gaze stopped at her mother whose expression was deadly pale. “Th- This- This isn't Heidi. My Heidi's dead!”Shaking her head, the woman staggered backward. “Who the hell summoned Heidi's ghost?”Her mother fainted immediately after saying that, and the whole room was thrown into chaos. Heidi shot to her feet, holding her baby tight, racing to the spot. Under the family's watchful gazes, she sat beside her mother, shaking her. “Mum! I'm not a ghost! I've come

    ~During the car ride, Heidi's mind was muddled with different kinds of thoughts that brought worry to her heart. Her only solace was the little girl sitting beside her, holding her hand. “You're so quiet, Mommy…” she asked, “Is everything alright?”Heidi smiled, parting her hair to the side. “I'm okay, Baby.”“Where are we headed?” She murmured, glancing out of the car's window. “You brought me back, Mommy. Are you gonna drop me off at Nanny's place and disappear again.”Smoothing the tiny frown on the girl's forehead, Heidi's heart ached as she kept repeating that word. Disappearing hadn't be easy, and appearing again would definitely incure many repercussions. Heidi picked her up and sat her on her lap, hugging her. “I'd rather die than to disappear again.”Here she was, loathing death, something she'd actually been craving for the past three years. Her heart was an ocean of emotions and her tears never dried up, so much that her eyes were hurting. “Please, Mommy, stop crying

    “For the first time, I'm agreeing with Jason's words.” Freya nodded. “Let's return her to the poor man, Heidi. She's not lost.”“Please don't let them take me away, Mommy.” The little girl hugged Heidi's arm. “I promise I'll be obedient. We'll stay in this paradise forever.”“Don't mind them, I won't let you go.” Heidi patted her hair. She stared at Jason and Freya, communicating with her eyes. The two gave her crestfallen looks and sighed at the same time. That Night;Heidi rested on her bed, holding the baby close, and sniffing the familiar scent on her. Citrus mixed with lavender. The scent of the Harrisons Villa. A scent that only belonged to the man she loved. Whenever she thought of him in the past, she'd feel hate and remorse, but now… the thought of him brought fear to her heart, and a regret she couldn't deny. Beside her, the little girl shifted. She opened her sleepy eyes, her wide milky eyes blinking. “Why aren't you sleeping, Mommy?”“I just love staring at you.” H

    From caressing the girl's hair, Heidi found herself drawing her close, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. “What's your name?” Uncertainty filling her heart, she asked in a hoarse voice.The little girl neither struggled nor made a sound of discomfort, she in fact snuggled deeper into Heidi's embrace. She murmured, “Nanny calls me Didi, but Daddy calls me Heidi.”Heidi shut her eyes, swallowing down a sudden lump in her throat. A soft laughter escaped her lips. “That's a beautiful name you have, Baby.”However, the little girl pulled away, furrowing her brows. “But my first Mommy dislikes it. She once argued with Daddy about it.”“Oh, is that so?” Sniffing back the tears threatening to burst out, Heidi forced a smile. “Why doesn't she like your name?”“Because she's a meanie. Nanny said she made my Mommy disappear.” The girl blew out a sigh, her tone gloomy. “But Daddy promised she won't bother us anymore.”Heidi didn't know where to keep her emotions. She just didn't want to cry in f

    “A kid means no harm. Relax, Heidi.” Jason patted her shoulder. “That pilot must be her father.”Heidi sat on the couch. “Now let me get to work! I'll see to it that that man is taught a lesson for crossing my number one rule of this Island! No tourists are allowed with a helicopter!”As Jason matched out of the room, Freya snickered. “He's doing a bad job managing this place. Too bad none of us can be in charge.”Under the pretense of working for the AG Group and managing the resorts here, Jason had moved to the mystic Island to be with her. One coincidence led to the guy clinging onto her.Driven by curiosity, he'd wandered into this cabin on a particular day, which was rumored to be haunted, and that was how he found her and Freya. Wondering if Jason was going to send the father and daughter back even though she didn't like that idea, Heidi carried on with her day, taking a walk down the empty beach separated from the resort’s area. The Island ahead was like an abandoned old ca

    … Waking up the next morning to a foreboding feeling in her chest was enough sign that her peaceful days on this Island were over. The moment she opened her eyes, someone hugged her. “What am I gonna do with you, Heidi…” Freya murmured. “An emotional outburst can cause you a second heart attack, and that will be the end of us. Our days of hiding here will be over… we'll need to go to any nearby city for your treatment, and the police won't have mercy once they catch me.”Heidi sighed inside. Did she faint last night? Her only cure was ultimate happiness, something she doubted she was ever going to find on this Island or anywhere in this world. “If I have a heart attack someday, don't bother yourself, Freya… let me die and-”“Please, Heidi… stop it,” Freya whispered. “How dare you wish death upon yourself?
