Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 157. Too Good To Be True
After The Meeting Was Over…Isla walked behind Heidi down the hallway of the top floor. “Ms. Olsen, you really dealt with your uncle well. He never saw it coming that you would expose his monkey businesses while managing the Group.”Heidi only smiled in response.They entered her office and she sat down on the couch, looking tired.“You're perspiring, Ms. Olsen.” Isla brought out her hankie, carefully wiping Heidi's sweat. “Do you want to rest before going home?”It was almost closing time. Some of the employees were preparing to leave, in fact.“Mm,” she hummed, rubbing her flat abdomen. “I'm starving and should stop by a restaurant.”Heidi wouldn't dare to eat at home, since her mother had become a detective, always scrutinizing every one of her actions.She felt like eating dozens of meals, which must be due to her pregnancy.Isla's phone rang. Sitting across from Heidi, her eyes widened with disbelief and she glanced back and forth between her phone and Heidi.“What's wrong?”“I'v

Heidi was left alone, standing with Steve on the empty street. “I'm not heading home directly.” “Wherever you plan to go, I'll take you.” His inviting smile awoken the guilt in her heart, chasing away every spirit of objection she had in her. Heidi found herself entering his car and giving him the address of Hope Hospital. “Do you feel unwell? What's bothering you?” His eyes reflected worry as the car came to a stop in front of the hospital. Heidi bit the insides of her cheeks, avoiding his gaze. “Yeah, a bit unwell.” Somehow, she didn't like the idea of breaking the news to Steve without knowing why. As if sensing her hesitation, Steve didn't question further. Heidi told him to wait for her, but he insisted on following her inside the hospital. They met Dr. Shawn in the hallway as he'd just come out of one of the wards. Seeing Heidi, Dr. Shawn looked so relieved. “I almost lost hope that you weren't going to come back.” “Did anything happen?” Dr. Shawn looked at Steve, h

Preeclampsia?Heidi couldn't recall where she'd heard that name from. Wasn't it one of those terrible pregnancy complications that risk the life of both mother and baby?“D-Doc.” She tried to speak in vain. Her lips trembled and her speech was incoherent to even her.Dr. Shawn studied her expression, giving her a serious look. “It’s a dangerous condition that can lead to a lot of things such as premature birth.”He just spoke out the words Heidi was thinking in her mind, and her anxiety increased.Seeing her pale expression, Dr. Shawn finally gave her a smile. “I didn't mean to scare you, but it is my duty to warn you of the situation you might land in if you don't look after your health.” He paused. “That is why you must stop overworking yourself, and always think happy thoughts.”How could Heidi think happy thoughts when there was a potential doom looming ahead?She couldn't think happy thoughts with the knowledge that she was at a high risk of developing that condition.Dr. Shawn

No doubt, the man had recognized her because the glass windows of Steve's car weren't tinted.Heidi didn't know why Steve didn't continue driving. Maybe he was as shocked as her.Slowly, Lucas approached, his eyes gleaming with a coldness that was directed towards Steve.He stopped on Heidi's side and knocked on the window, giving her a look as if he'd caught her cheating red-handed.“Come out!” Lucas said in a hard tone, his voice intimidating.“Heidi, I said come out here.”But Steve was already out of the car before Heidi.“How may we help you, Mr. Harrison?”“Didn't I warn you to stay away from her?” Lucas directed his glare at Steve.“Do I have to follow your orders?” Steve laughed, looking amused. “Mr. Harrison, stop disturbing Heidi. She's no longer your possession.”“Is she your possession then?”“Very soon, she will.”Steve was smiling and Lucas looked as if he would flip the car over.Heidi sighed in frustration, rubbing her suddenly aching forehead. “Lucas Harrison, can you

The slap stunned him. It stunned the Driver, and Steve as well.“What! the-” the Driver swallowed any word he wanted to say and he tripped on his feet, quickly catching himself from toppling over.“Heidi…” Lucas touched his cheek, the redness spreading on his fair skin.“You evil and heartless scumbag! Won't you leave me alone for crying out loud!? Lucas Harrison, tell me, did I do anything wrong that you're keen on getting vengeance by constantly humiliating me!?” She yelled, her emotions soaring.“Damnit, Lucas! You're so shameless, I don't believe you're a normal human.”Maybe he was a psychopath, and Heidi had been the masochist who'd endured hardship in his grips for three years.Dreading to stare at his face any longer, lest her emotions explode, she got inside the car.Steve followed her, speechless, and he drove them off.The car raced away, leaving mountains of smoke behind.Covering his mouth, the Driver coughed rapidly. “A- Aha! M-Mr. Harrison, can we go home.”Lucas's stor

…At The Olsens Mansion, the next morning…Heidi groaned in her sleep, feeling the continuous tapping on her shoulder.“Wake up, Heidi. Why are you still sleeping at this hour?”“What's it, Mum?” Heidi whined, burying her head in the pillow.Her mother peeled her off the bed, forcing her to sit down. “It's already morning, are you so tired from work that you lost track of time?”Regina raised an inquisitive brow, her signature interrogative gesture.Heidi rubbed her eyes. “Oh, it's morning?”She wasn't tired of course, but her body felt sore all over.She got down the bed and trudged towards the bathroom, covering her mouth while yawning.Her mother pulled her back. “Heidi…” she said, checking her out from head to toe. “Something about you has changed.”“Ah- what?” The sleep went away in an instant, hearing her mother's words.Heidi avoided her mother's gaze, replying, “Why not? Have you forgotten I've been away for three years, Mum?”With that vague reply, Heidi rushed inside the bat

“Won't you guys just be quiet for once?” Heidi gave them an irritated look, her frustration rising. “Mind your own business.”“Hey, it's a matter which concerns your marriage. As the second Young Master of this family, I have the right to give my consent too.” Aiden gave her a harmless look, suddenly acting like a supportive family member. “So you have my blessings, Heidi. Steve Anderson is free to have you.”“Mr. Anderson, don't worry about the bride price,” Lilian said. “In actual sense, we are grateful that you want to marry Heidi. Not every fresh bachelor develops an interest in divorced women.”“Lilian, Aiden- won't you brats remain quiet? Can't you see we have a guest?”“Grandpa, we didn't pick any fight.”“We are just trying to support our dear cousin, Heidi. We're celebrating her success at snagging another rich man.”“Harold Olsen, warn your children to behave themselves.”But Harold didn't listen to Grandpa Jeffery's words, directing his glare at Heidi,The glare which never

Heidi didn't know which words to focus on, her long-gone headache threatening to return as her temples throbbed slightly.Her dizziness also returned out of nowhere and she swayed. At the same moment, the breakfast she'd just eaten didn't want to stay in her stomach.“What is wrong with you, Heidi? We just spoke about your marriage and you already look pale. Don't you like him?” Grandpa Jeffery mistook her haziness for the fear of getting married again. “Or are you not over that boy of the Harrisons yet?”But her mother had on a different look, her curious eyes accessing Heidi.“How about you join me for a hike?” Her father suggested. “It seems you need some fresh air.”Yes, Heidi needed the fresh air, but she didn't feel like walking for some miles.On one hand, was her oblivious father offering her a free ticket to leave the house, while on the other hand was her detective mother who looked ready to bombard her with a barrage of questions once they were alone.The option she would c

Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 445. Lasting for Eternity
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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 443. The Only Person Who Believed Her
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? You're the nicest person I've ever met; I fell for a villain and almost let him slip away, I lost my job and was about to lose my life but you saved me even though we never kne
