…At The AG Group.In the vast office of the CEO, decorations stood in every corner in the form of huge artificial flower vases, and the newly installed furniture served as an element to captivate the eyes.However, sitting on the big swivel chair, the solitary figure of the young woman had its back to the office.Instead, her eyes were glued to the large window, her gaze traveling through it, her vision blurred by the images portrayed by her mind guided by the constant thoughts in her head.She should be focusing on the duty ahead, instead of the scandalous imaginations occupying her thoughts.Sometimes, she'd question the reality, and what true affection denotes.Sometimes she'd find herself wallowing in grief and regret of letting the reigns of her emotions go into the hands of a man.She'd been lost in her fantasy beyond redemption, and despite waking up, remnants of those fantasies lingered, serving as a reminder of what a huge fool she'd been. Because, they hurt more than dagge
…In The Evening,...Skyline Bar boomed with loud music, the vibrating beats sounding like a thousand bells in Heidi's head.A place she'd hoped she'd find solace created an even more stream of chaos in her head.Holding the wine glass in her right hand, her dazed eyes studied the wine swirling in its glass.“Why aren't you drinking, Heidi?” Sitting beside her, Kate nudged her playfully. “Remember we're here to have a blast, not sit and just stare at each other.”“Uhm, Ms. Anderson, isn't Mr. Anderson coming?” Isla asked.“The dude's out of town,” Kate said, her attention still on Heidi. “He went back to GreyHills for some urgent business. Will be back in a few days.”From the couch behind them, strange noises sounded followed by the sound of ruffling fabrics.“Not here, Babe. Wait until we get home.” Yet, Zach was kissing the girl as if he'd devour her whole.Kate's eyes dimmed, irritation flashing in her eyes. “Get a room, Zach Olsen! Yeah, we're all adults but no one's interested
Now staring at his face, Heidi found it familiar and a chilling coldness glinted in her eyes. “What do you want?”“You.” His eyes raked over her body, and he grinned like a psychopath.Heidi almost belched at his words, repulsed and irritated. “Mister, we've never known each other before. Respect yourself and get the hell out of my sight!”“The more you speak, the more I want you, Heidi. You don't know me well, do you? If you did, you would have begged me to take you-”“Back off!” Heidi's palm flew to his cheek, the slapping sound echoing in the washroom. “Get out before I summon the security.”Todd rubbed his cheek, the sinister look in his eyes increasing. “This is the second time your precious hand has graced my cheek, Candy. I hope the third time it does, we'll be in a different situation.”“Pervert! Stay away from me!” Heidi's yell was deafened by the loud music coming from downstairs.Todd grabbed her, covering her mouth to stop her from yelling further.Her strength unmatched h
“Hey, relax.” His smile didn't fade. “Your friend also told me you're very energetic, I can see that. However, let's play a different kind of game, can we?”“What friend are you speaking about?” Heidi's brows furrowed.The crazy man kept mentioning the word ‘friend’ which was disturbing.Which of her friends would recommend her to such a crazy man?“Oh, she said not to mention her name.” Todd kept moving forward until he was so close to her. “She wanted to give me to you as a surprise.”“Really?” Heidi raised a brow, faking an inquisitive look. “But how should I thank her if you don't tell me who she is?”Todd's eyes lit up, sensing her consent. “We made a deal…” his eyes glinted, his gaze traveling down to her chest. “I wouldn't say a word… just make you feel good.”By then, he'd placed both palms on the wall, caging her in between. “Be a good girl, get back to the bed-”“Urgh!” His groans followed his next words.Grabbing the perfect opportunity, Heidi sent a flying kick to his sens
From the other end of the phone, Lucas stared at his phone in a trance, discomfort settling it.Why would Heidi's phone be with Zach Olsen?What were those words Zach said? Was Heidi in trouble?Inside the huge skyscraper of the GK Group, the lights were dim, lest for the bright lights of his office, as if he'd planned to spend the whole night inside the company.Sensing that Heidi might be in danger though, Lucas grabbed his car keys and stormed out of the office, making a phone call.In no time, he arrived at Skyline Bar after getting an Intel that Zach Olsen was in the bar.Zach was still pacing back and forth, wondering what he was going to do with Lucas Harrison when Lucas barged into the booth. “Where's Heidi? Have you come to return her?”Zach instantly attacked him, grabbing his collar and shaking him hard.“Scrap it, Lucas Harrison. I'm gonna teach you a great lesson tonight!”Lucas's dark gaze accessed the room, ignoring the loud guy. “Where's Heidi?”“I should ask you that
Todd's impatience grew and he tore off the fabric of her shoulder. Heidi kicked, but he saw her action coming, catching her leg.She no longer pleaded with him to let her go, resorting to fighting to the last shred of the energy remaining in her.Heidi gripped the rod and raised it high. The man was ready to block the rod’s attack, and she punched his eyes with the other hand, using the distraction to her advantage.“Argh!” His groans sounded more like a scream.Todd staggered and she pushed him away, darting for the door that led to the stairs.He soon recovered from the pain and came after her, blocking her at the door's entrance.“Do you know that the more you run, the more I want you?” He once again grabbed her, curling his fingers around her neck. Heidi gasped for air, struggling to breathe properly.“Now we're gonna do it the hard way.” His voice was low and dangerous. He grabbed her hair backward, tilting her head, leaning forward to seal her lips.Heidi spat in his face.“Shi
“Hey, it's alright... I'm here.” His fingers trembled as he kept wiping her tears.But Heidi only cried harder, throwing her arms around him, hugging him tightly.“Mr. Harrison, we'll take him away,” said one of the men.“Make sure he never comes out until I give the orders,” Lucas gritted out.Holding Heidi protectively, he left the place.Heidi had so many questions in her mind, but she decided to stay silent, wrapping her arms around his neck for support and reveling in the moment of salvation.Lucas left the tall building with her and dropped her in the passenger's seat of his car. “You're wounded. Let me take you to the hospital.”Heidi nodded in silent agreement to his request. She faced the other side, curling herself up on the seat, yet again wrapping both hands around her aching stomach.Lucas didn't strike up a conversation, driving silently. Heidi could feel his constant gaze on her. Now and then, he'd lean forward, probably to make sure that she was still awake.Did Lucas
How?How?How could she be pregnant, and when did it happen?Heidi supported her head with both hands, shutting her eyes, hoping this was a dream.She must still be lying unconscious on the street and was dreaming about all this.“Young Lady,” The Doctor called out to her, looking confused. “Is anything wrong, are you alright?”Reading Heidi's demeanor, the Nurse said, “From the looks of it, you weren't aware that you're pregnant, right? How shocking, the fetus is over six weeks old.”Heidi looked up, fear and dread filling up the vast space of her heart. “Did you make the wrong diagnosis? I- I can't be pregnant, I'm not pregnant… How can I be pregnant when I didn't miss even a period?”Six weeks meant she'd been pregnant for more than a month which was ridiculous.The hospital staff must have carried out the wrong tests or probably mixed up the specimen.“Relax, don't panic…”Heidi didn't even know that she was panicking until the Doctor pointed it out.The kind Doctor sat on the cha
