And after that incident, Heidi never heard a single word from Lucas.

Just as expected, the mud did scare him off.

Again, she was sitting on the balcony, staring ahead at the vast ocean, over to the lonely Island across the sea.

It had been one week already, almost two. Lucas Harrison didn't show his face again, and neither did his assistant.

“Ms. Olsen, are you missing Mr. Harrison?” Isla sat beside her.

Heidi pursed her lips. “You know that's impossible.”

“But you always come here every day and spend the whole day staring at the sea.”

Did she?

Heidi just loved sitting on the balcony and receiving the fresh air. It wasn't at all related to Lucas- not a bit.

“Mr. Harrison must have flown back to Phoenix City.”

“Yeah…” Heidi nodded, somehow feeling empty inside.

For those initial days she'd been on the Island, the man had always been on her neck like a fish's bone, not giving her space to breathe.

It wasn't surprising that his absence wouldn't go unnoticed.

    …Her head pounded hard, and her eyes felt like two heavy orbs inside their sockets.Heidi fluttered her eyelids, reaching for her forehead and rubbing it gently to ease the pain.A muffled groan escaped her lips, the ache inside her head expanding.“Heidi…”“Ms. Olsen.”“...how do you feel now, Heidi?”Two voices floated into her ears. The voice of a man and a woman.Heidi didn't find the voices familiar at first until she fully regained her senses.Her vision blurred by the dizziness, the silhouette of two men and a woman hovered above her.“Thank goodness, she is awake.” A familiar yet strange voice sounded. “You can now put your mind at ease.”“Doc, what's wrong with her? I thought she was alright.”“Considering her condition, fainting is quite normal sometimes especially if she undergoes a lot of stress.”Ah! Right!Heidi fainted.How could she forget that?For a moment there, she'd almost been confused that she went to hell and came back, thinking back to those horrible nightmar

    “Huh?” Heidi blinked.Steve pulled away from her, obviously hearing the voice from the other end.A male voice that belonged to no one else but Lucas Harrison.Heidi's fingers trembled with the phone, regret compounding her mind that she didn't check the contact's name first.Because nowadays, she'd gotten accustomed to cutting any call from a strange number, knowing it might belong to Lucas Harrison.“Heidi, are you still there?” His voice was strangely hoarse, almost pleading. “Remember that tuna sandwich you once made for me?” He stated. “Can you make me one? I'll give you whatever you want.”“When will you quit these silly tricks, Lucas Harrison?” Heidi gritted out, her eyes darting to Steve who stared at her silently with a complex emotion in his eyes.“What silly tricks? I just want to be with you, Heidi,” Lucas mumbled. “Remember that night, I told you I had a good sleep-”“What night?”“Now I can't even blink at night because you're not here. Tell me when you will visit me aga

    Why were photos of her with Lucas Harrison inside Steve's phone?Heidi scrolled through the photos, anxiety building up in her heart.No! This was photoshopped, wasn't it?That was the first thought that came to her mind. But who would do such a crazy thing to send the photo of her and Lucas Harrison sleeping on the same bed to Steve?Heidi got up to her feet and paced for a while, ignoring the headache and the slight pain in her arm.The Doctor must have admitted her to an IV Drip because her forearm stung.The only crazy person she knew recently was none other than Lucas Harrison!Heidi gripped the phone hard, almost forgetting that it belonged to someone else.Not only was he heartless, but Lucas Harrison was also full of tricks!Should she call him and give him a piece of her mind?No, that wouldn't work. It would only ginger that crazy man up in his mission.Lucas- Lucas. What was she going to do with him?…“What else does she want me to do?” Lucas stared at his phone, his expr

    Taken aback by Steve's sudden action, Heidi couldn't bring herself to react in time. And starkly aware of the figure standing behind them as a penetrable aura seeped through her bones, her heartbeat raced back to life. “S-Steve…” She lifted both hands, not knowing if it was right to push him away or not.Heidi hadn't even decided yet, when like the wind, the figure breezed past and tore her way from Steve.“You are seeking death!” Lucas Harrison's deep voice, laced with rage resounded, and he grabbed Steve's collar. “How dare you touch my wife?”“You mean, your ex-wife.” Steve pushed his hand away. “Lucas Harrison, it is high time you know where you stand.”Heidi's eyes darted from one man to another, anxiety filing up her heart, coursing through every one of her nerves.No. Not again.They weren't about to break into a fight, were they?The last thing she wanted at the moment was having both men engage in a fight, because her headache had already returned with a huge force, and the

    He was crazy, right?Heidi studied his eyes and the seriousness in them, unable to hide her astonishment at his ridiculous words.He wouldn't force her to come back but would court her properly?'What does that entail?’“Lucas, stop messing with me.” She raised a hand, halting him from speaking further. “Whether you're joking or not, I don't care. Tell me your actual goal- your mission, and stop playing with my mind.”“You are my goal, Heidi.” He took her hands, putting on an offended look. “Haven't you realized it by now?”“I don't understand you.”“You won't understand me until you understand my plight.” He stared down at her palm and sketched invisible lines on it with his finger. “Just give me a chance to chase you properly. A lover is never an enemy, will you stop pushing me away?”Give him a chance?“You're lying. You have a hidden intention towards me.”“My heart is pure, Heidi.” He placed her palm on his chest. “Can't you feel it?”Of course, Heidi could feel the rapid beating

    Why should she give him the permission?How many times was she going to tell him that it was never going to be possible between them… ever again?Even if she still had control over her life, would she allow her heart to wander into his hands again?“I'll think about it.” She pulled away forcefully, making him release her.Lucas's expression relaxed. “Do you mean what you said? Is that a yes, Heidi?”“Hey, you have quite an imagination.” Heidi frowned. “I just told you that I'll think about it.”“I anticipate your response, Heidi.”Heidi ran out of the Villa as fast as her legs could take her.The yacht was set and the captain was dozing inside it, as if he'd spent the whole night waiting there.As soon as Heidi arrived at the resort, the sky had not even cleared up yet.She reached for her luggage inside the bedroom and started packing her things inside.“What's going on, Ms. Olsen?

    …“Ms. Olsen, this is too sudden. Is the MXG Group's President willing to see us?” Isla asked, the worry in her eyes increasing as she stared at Heidi whose gaze was fixed on the window of the train.It took three days of journeying, leaving the Island on the yacht, and spending the night at a nearby village, to finally be on their way to the Central City. Heidi's eyes left the window and stared at her phone.Still worried about Steve, added to the fact that she couldn't reach his contact, her mind was consumed with thoughts that she failed to hear Isla's question until she repeated it.“Ms. Olsen…” Isla tapped her gently.Heidi blew out a sigh. “Whether it is sudden or not, we're already here. I have sent him a proposal already, so I hope he won't refuse a meeting with us.”“Oh…” Isla nodded, looking unconvinced, though.“Come on, quit being pessimistic.” Heidi nudged her playfully. “We'll be alright.”“I doubt so, Ms. Olsen.

    “Oh…” Heidi looked away to hide her embarrassment. She really didn't want to speak about it. Since Isla was her only companion on the journey, it would be wrong to always keep her in the dark.“Lucas Harrison…” she grumbled. “That crazy man took photos of us and sent them to Steve.”“Huh? He did that?” Isla blinked. “That is going to spoil things for you and Mr. Anderson.”“It is strange that Steve doesn't mind, though.” Heidi shrugged.“Oh, really?” Isla tapped her chin, frowning. “That's very weird.”“I know, right?” Heidi relaxed back on the seat, letting her eyes close, the loud honking of the train not letting her catch a wink of sleep which she so desperately craved. …Back at Mystic Island.Lucas stared at his phone.This time, he was a hundred percent sure that Heidi wouldn't snub him.She wouldn't cut his call because- well, she no longer pushed him away.“Mr. Harrison…” Amanda sat across from him, peeling an apple, her fingers red. “I have peeled thirty apples already.

    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?
