The way he looked at her and the way he sounded made Tracy shiver under her skin.

She swallowed a gulp and hesitantly nodded. “B-But she started it first-”

Lucas stormed out of the hospital ward. Without a glance in Tracy's direction, Killian brought out his phone and also left, making a call.

Tracy's heart burned with jealousy, her red eyes pinned on the door.

She summoned the bodyguard and ordered him, “Make sure you keep following her. Don't let Heidi leave this city.”

“Yes, Ma'am.” The bodyguard nodded, a confused look in his eyes.

At The Central City's Police Department.

Lucas's car pulled over, making a screeching sound.

He left the car and slammed the door behind, startling the driver.

Walking inside the police department, his phone rang constantly inside his pants pocket, but he ignored it.

“Where is Heidi?” He anxiously asked one of the policemen he walked into.

“Which Heidi?” The policeman tilted his head.

“Two ladies were brought here. One has dark hair, and the othe

    Heidi wanted to believe that her ears were playing pranks on her. She checked the phone's screen to make sure it was Natalie speaking.“What loan are you speaking about?”“Aren't you aware of it?” Natalie asked. “I thought you were the one who signed those documents. A huge amount of money is missing from the finance department.”Heidi controlled herself from standing up due to the shock as she had almost forgotten she was inside a car. “Missing money?”“I asked Zach and he told me he wasn't the one who gave out the loans. You guys are the only ones capable of giving such commands. How did the money disappear-”A commotion came from the background Natalie was speaking, interrupting her. She cursed through the phone and said, “I'm sorry, Heidi. Let me handle something, I'll get back to you soon.”After hanging up, Heidi's lips parted and she felt speechless, her racing heart refusing to calm down.“Ms. Olsen…” Isla called her attention. “Is the Group in trouble?”“Don't know… I guess s

    …“Urgh! Why is the weather so bad in this city?” Heidi said agitatedly, anxiously standing on the balcony as if expecting the storm to stop soon.“The network's bad due to the rain!” Isla constantly pressed into her phone, her fingers shaking. “Ms. Olsen, we don't know the current condition of the AG Group.”“It's all over the news.” Heidi returned to the suite. “I wonder how many media houses have already published that news. Someone is trying too hard to make our hard work go to waste.”“And that someone might be your uncle, Ms. Olsen,” Isla pondered. “It has been so long since Harold Olsen made any move.”Heidi could also think of no one else but Harold Olsen. She sat on the bed, pressing her temples to curb the headache.Yet, Harold Olsen must have turned mad to want to cut the Group's success so brutally.Her uncle only wanted to snatch her position from her. Would he ignore all morals and try to bring down the family's business?“Have you reached someone from the Group?” She a

    She lost track of time, standing in the same spot, lost in a trance as the man slowly and gently kissed her lips. Her heart must have stopped beating during the moment. The instant he pulled away, her heartbeat sprang back to life.Gasping for air, Heidi took several steps backward, astonishment in her eyes. Her lips parted, yet no words came out. What was the meaning of that? Had he lost his mind? And the hotel staff…Everyone was watching. Amidst her shock was the shame and embarrassment, and her cheeks heated up. “Lucas Harrison…”“You can keep your response for now,” he said, throwing her a pleading look. “Heidi, I'm serious. I am here to inform you about-”“The AG Group.” Heidi cut him off, wiping her lips and glaring at him. “I know about it, okay!? Please leave me alone.”How could Lucas Harrison care about the AG Group and its current plight?He definitely didn't care about the Group that he'd contributed to its destruction. Heidi pursed her lips, stepping away from him.

    Heidi entered the car, hesitantly. It was hard to recognize the guy's face, even though he didn't care to wear a mask. He probably didn't even care whether she knew him or not. “Sit properly,” he commanded. “And don't even try to make a fuss.”Well, his voice sounded familiar. Wasn't he the same guy Heidi had bumped into at the mall?Heidi knew better to remain silent, curious as to where he was taking her. With the current anxiety and devastation, her mind was somehow numbed to fear. The guy dropped his gun inside the car's compartment, between the passenger's seat and the driver's seat. Heidi wondered if he did it intentionally because he was very skilled, or maybe he was simply dumb.Of all things, why didn't she learn how to operate a gun?“Quit whatever silly thoughts you're having.” His eyes fixed on the road, he sounded as if he noticed the curiosity in her eyes as she stared at the gun.Well, it wouldn't be bad to try using the gun. But fighting with her kidnapper was the

    The deafening sound of a slap echoed in the large living room, muffled by the sudden clap of thunder. Tracy parted her lips, her eyes bulging out like two bulbs of light. “Heidi, you-”“Smack!!!”The second slap was even harder, sending Tracy staggering backward and falling onto the floor. Again, the sound was deafened by the clap of thunder. “Tracy Carlson, is framing and hurting others the only purpose of your existence?”“You are making a huge mistake, Heidi!!!” Tracy screamed, her lips bleeding. “How dare you hit me?”Heidi smirked. She folded her hands and stepped forward. “After what you did to me at the mall, making me look like the villain, I decided to ignore and face my business.”“But you invited me here yourself.” Heidi grabbed her arm, pulling her up aggressively. “Now you can't blame me for taking revenge.”“Let go of me!” Tracy wriggled her hand, shouting. “Heidi, you know I'm carrying Lucas's baby! If you dare hurt me again, Lucas Harrison will hunt you down forever

    Tracy stumbled backward, shaken by Lucas's thundering voice. Shocked as well, Heidi shivered at his stone, her heart beating strangely, the dangerous aura surrounding the man, wrecking her nerves. “H-Honey…” Tracy sobbed. “I swear I'm telling the truth. Heidi came and started beating me up out of nowhere- I- I was minding my business-”“If you utter another word…” Lucas glared at her, his eyes turning red with rage. “Tracy Carlson, I won't spare you.”Seeing the man who once worshiped Tracy as if it was the purpose of his existence now treating her like a mortal enemy, Heidi was really confused. She'd rather not be in the same place as an angry Lucas.Already, his foreboding aura was breaking her inside, reminding her of memories long forgotten. As Lucas scolded Tracy, Heidi turned to leave, but he grabbed her hand. “Don't go yet.”“Hey, let me go!”Lucas held on tight, however, his hard glare was still fixed on Tracy.“Honey, what are you doing!?” Tracy screamed, not hiding the b

    Lucas didn't listen to her, and he commanded the driver, “To the hospital. Fast!”Minutes Later,They were all waiting in front of the emergency room as Tracy was being attended to by the doctors. Lucas was standing against the wall, the worry inside his eyes evident, and the bodyguard stood in a corner, his head lowered in guilt.Heidi yawned constantly, deciding to rest on the waiting chair. She couldn't let Tracy's drama deprive her of sleep.“Sleeping in that position will make you uncomfortable.” Lucas sat beside her.“Then give me your jacket to use as a pillow,” Heidi grumbled, not really serious with her words.Well, the man didn't give her his jacket. Instead, he rested her head on his lap. “Hey-”About to get agitated, Heidi found out it wasn't a bad position, so she made herself comfortable.“What's with beating Tracy up?” Lucas chided, stroking her hair. “If something happens to the baby, you will be implicated.”“So what!?” Heidi scoffed. “I don't believe a simple slap w

Because, when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the large bed of the hotel suite.“You don't know how worried I've been since last night, Ms. Olsen…” Isla's eyes were slightly red, probably from crying. “You didn't come back and I couldn't find you even with the help of the staff.”“It's okay. I'm fine.” Heidi sat up with difficulty with Isla's help.Her eyeballs hurt and there was this hot and cold sensation inside her body. No! She was running a fever again. Heidi sneezed and Isla handed her a tissue. “Let's get you to a hospital…”“No. We'll go to Phoenix City. The flight we booked yesterday will take off in…” Heidi glanced at the bedside clock. “... Twenty minutes…”Her confused words made Isla sigh. “We are going to miss the flight again, Ms. Olsen.”“No, we can't!” He

    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?
