… At LuxVille Residential Area, The Next Day. The Villa glowed with lights, balloons, ribbons, and red flowers hanging on every decoration. Soft melodious music was playing in the open space, and waiters and waitresses walked among the guests, holding raised trays containing wines. On a huge table was a mountain of pastries, and standing by it was the ‘birthday boy’. Dressed in a striking pink tuxedo, he stood out among the crowd like a daisy among a sea of black roses. As Zach munched on the cupcake in his hand, he couldn't help but frown. More cars streamed into the Villa and many more guests arrived. Bringing out his phone, he dialed Heidi's number. With a mischievous smile on his face, he said, “Didn't you receive my present, Princess? The party's starting but the guest of honor hasn't arrived. When are you gonna come?” Strangely, Heidi was silent from the other end. “Urgh, come on, Heidi.” Zach took it as a sign that she wasn't gonna come, and he groaned. “Don't y

All heads turned, and there were gasps from the paparazzi as well as some other guests who had just arrived. A lady alighted from a Limo, guided by a chauffeur. Her dark wavy hair rested on one shoulder, the diamond earring reflecting the light. The light makeup, complimenting her cherry-kissed lips, drew eyes to her perfectly proportioned features. The red sparkly dress was a few inches above her knees, highlighting her curves and her fair supple skin. With her chin lifted, her eyes accessed the crowd lazily, and a chilling gaze shot towards the couple. Lucas's throat went dry and his hold loosened on Tracy. On the man's face was a shocked look which he didn't hide. “Ouch! My eyes!” Zach came running over, almost tripping. He stopped in front of Heidi, drawing her into his arms. “Now I know my taste is too great, almost scary. You just blew me off my feet, Goddess.” Luca's eyes dimmed, a chilling air traveling all the way from the Atlantics and engulfing the whole Villa.

At the hospital, Lucas showed his deep displeasure when Grandpa Winston gave her the necklace. Wasn't it normal that he'd send men to snatch it from her? “Neither am I a kid nor someone you can scare easily. I'm not a toy you can toss around as you please. If you wanted the necklace that much, why didn't you go to Grandpa Winston instead of sending men to harass me?” Staring at her extended hands, back to her eyes flashing with fury, Lucas was amazed by the woman standing in front of him. Underneath that fury was a deep seed of hurt and hatred. His heart stirred strangely, then he retained his dark expression. “Listen to yourself, Heidi. Accusing me of stealing something from you, does that even make sense?” “I know, you are the President of GK Group,” Heidi said mockingly. “You can't differentiate snatching from stealing. That jewelry is mine, won't you give it back?” “Don't you dare accuse me of immorality.” “Is sending men after a defenseless woman considered a moral ac

No one knew what happened next. The water splashed and Tracy screamed. “Ah! Help, Lucas.” Even Heidi was dumbfounded, until she felt a shove. At that moment, another splash echoed. Literally, Lucas almost stopped breathing when Heidi pushed Tracy inside the swimming pool. While diving in to save her, he'd pushed Heidi out of the way, not noticing that she had also fallen inside. “Damnit!” Zach's pupils popped out. He also dived in to retrieve Heidi, tearing off his jacket. In no time, Lucas emerged from the pool, holding the fragile Tracy in his arms. “Tracy!” He patted her cheeks, his heart thumping with fear. Tracy kept her eyes shut tightly, not responding to his calls. Her unconscious state heightened his fears and he darted for his car, fiddling with his phone to make a phone call. “Heidi, stop playing pranks on me. Wake up!” When Zach pulled Heidi out, she wasn't only unresponsive to his calls, her skin was deadly pale. “Damn that scumbag! Lucas Harrison, you

… At The Olsens Mansion. Grandpa Jeffrey waited until the doctor left before he picked up his cane and grabbed Zach, who was near him. “Ah! Grandpa, Ouch!” Zach wailed. “Grandpa, wait- Ah! What did I do wrong?” “You don't know what you did wrong?” Grandpa Jeffrey beat him harder. “Why did you endanger Heidi's life?” “Dad, is it Zach's fault?” Beatrice spoke up, stepping between the old man and her son. “Isn't Heidi an adult? Zach didn't force her to attend the party.” “You!” Grandpa Jeffrey looked displeased. “Mum, stop worsening matters,” Zach whispered to her. “Yeah, I feel guilty for inviting Heidi, but it's her scumbag ex-husband's fault.” “Shut up! You know Heidi's condition, why would you let her fall inside the pool?” “Grandpa!” Heidi, who was unconscious on the bed, opened her eyes from the commotion. She gasped for breath and shuffled up, her wide eyes darting across the room. Grandpa Jeffrey pushed Zach aside and sat beside her. “How do you feel now, Heidi

… At GK Group. Lucas was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his rigid features cascaded with an icy frost, remnants of the rage from last night lingering. “M-Mr. Harrison.” Amanda walked inside. “The paparazzi are outside the company. The Shareholders demand an emergency meeting… regarding your proclaiming the AG Group as an enemy.” It had become the topic of discussion in every news channel in Phoenix City. Last night, at Zach Olsen's birthday party, not only were the paparazzi present, but they also captured everything. Lucas turned around, his murderous look scaring the shit out of the secretary. “I- I'll take my leave, I'll inform them that you're not available-” “Wait.” Amanda was about to flee and Lucas stopped her. “The day before yesterday, at NightBay Street, 10:00 p.m. Investigate what happened.” “O-Okay.” Amanda nodded rapidly and left, even though there were so many questions in her eyes. Lucas left the office. He arrived at the conference room

… At StriveStyle Co. Isla walked into Heidi's office with some reports in her hands, her face cascaded with a gloom which she tried to conceal under a stiff smile. “What's wrong?” Heidi looked up. “It is regarding the hiring of new models, Ms. Olsen. No agency wants to work with us.” “Really?” Heidi's brows furrowed slightly. Isla nodded, placing the reports in front of her. “Ms. Olsen, StriveStyle Co. Is in a hot spot due to the scandal going around between the GK Group and AG Group.” “Clearly, those agencies are afraid to offend a powerful company like GK Group. Seeing that AG Group is less intimidating, they're taking sides already.” 'Damn you! Lucas Harrison,’ Heidi pinched her nose bridge, cursing inside her mind. “Well, if they don't want to hire models for us, it's fine. We can reach out to those models ourselves, right?” “Ms. Olsen, about that.” Isla sighed. “A small subsidiary like us isn't capable of doing that. We'll have to set up an Agency, then hire staff

“You can't fire us! StriveStyle Co. can't do without us.” “The number of employees is rapidly declining. At this moment, you won't dare fire any employee.” “Even though you're the CEO, didn't you claim that you want to revive this brand?” “Believe me, StriveStyle Co. doesn't need employees like you.” Heidi walked inside the elevator, leaving the three ladies dumbfounded. “Young Miss, you must have had a long day, didn't you?” John said from the driver's seat, noticing the exhaustion in her eyes. “Not really. I'm striving well.” “Just tell me if you're tired, Young Miss-” “So you can report it to Grandpa, right?” “Haha-Hehe.” John scratched his head. “Do you believe I'm a spy, come on. The Old Master is only looking out for you. Let me tell you, Young Miss…” As John chattered on, while driving her home, Heidi's phone constantly beeped in her bag. She brought it out and saw Grandpa Winston's name flashing on the screen. “Heidi, you silly girl. When are you planning to vis

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? 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
