Heidi put a brake to her steps, coming to a screeching halt on hearing Grandpa Jeffery's voice.

What was going on?

She took a few seconds to collect herself, strolling towards the dining area, convinced that she must be hearing wrong.

“Grandpa, you must be kidding,” Steve chuckled.

“Why should I joke about such an important matter?” Grandpa Jeffery patted him on the shoulder. “Believe me, Heidi has given her consent and you will get married-”

“Grandpa!” Heidi yelled in a panicked voice, startling everyone at the dining table.

All eyes turned to her. Her mother frowned as well as her Grandfather.

“Hey, behave yourself, Silly Girl. Don't get too excited, can't you see we have an important guest?” Grandpa Jeffery scolded.

Excited?

Heidi wasn't excited. She was, instead, flabbergasted.

“I thought you were never going to come down because you're shy.” Her mother said, “Can you sit down so we can finally start eating?”

Heidi sat on the only empty chair, again beside Steve.

    Plates and utensils shattered on the floor as the servants halted what they were doing. Everyone else sitting across the dining table sprang to their feet, including Grandpa Jeffery who was more agile than the rest. The most shocked of all was Heidi. She was the most devastated, and the most confused. “Steve-”“Pregnant- Pregnant!?” Grandpa Jeffery held on tight to his cane as he almost lost his footing. “Who? When? How?- Who the hell did you say is pregnant!?”Heidi's thoughts went haywire…No. Steve didn't just reveal the news about her pregnancy.It was a nightmare- she hadn't woken up yet.“Aha! I knew it!” Her mother's grip on her arms was what brought her back to her senses. “Heidi, did you think you could fool me? I always had this feeling you are pregnant.”“P-Pregnant!?” Grandpa Jeffery said absentmindedly. Then he held the side of his chest and broke into a fit of cough.One of the servants quickly poured him a cup of water. Then they all dispersed.“No way, Heidi!” Lili

    The car shook with her voice, the rage inside her making her whole being tremble. Steve, however, did not flinch. With his hands holding the steering wheel, the subtle smile never faded from his lips. “What's wrong with breaking my promise? Imagine how your family would have reacted if they knew the real father of your child-” “Well, It wasn't your job to meddle.” “Heidi, you should be happy I'm taking responsibility.” “Steve Anderson!” Heidi glared at him. “I never said I love you, did I?” “I don't mind.” Steve shrugged. “If I can't win your love, I can at least win your hand in marriage.” Heidi stared at him, feeling she must be interacting with a different man. He wasn't Steve, was he? Steve would never treat her this way. “Much better.” He smiled, acknowledging her silence. “Because arguing will do us no good.” Heidi fumed with rage. “Did you think by just telling everyone about my pregnancy and lying that the child is yours will make me marry you? I'm not a child, an

    “Money?” Tracy was taken aback, she stared at him, flabbergasted. “What money are you talking about, Honey?”Lucas's glare intensified. “If it wasn't you who took the money, who else would?”She averted her gaze from his, staring at the ground instead. Her shoulders trembled and she sobbed, holding the tiny bump in her stomach, a pitiful gesture that melted the man's heart. “Ever since you declared that you no longer love me, your actions towards me get worse every day.” She stared at him. “Lucas Harrison, has falling pregnant for you become a sin?”“I only asked a simple question.” Lucas kept a straight face. “What did you do with that amount of money?”“I don't know- I don't know who took it. Didn't you investigate the maid and the security man? I left them both in the Villa.”“Mira said you fired her.”Tracy frowned. “That filthy girl! Why would I do that? You see why you shouldn't believe her? She's lying on me-”“Enough!” Lucas sighed and entered the house as droplets of rain f

    …At Phoenix City.Heidi stood in her office, inside the AG Group, facing the floor-to-ceiling window.Hands folded across her chest, she stared past the transparent window, lost in the endless abyss of her own thoughts.“Ms. Olsen…” Isla's voice made her steer her gaze from the window.“What's the matter?” Heidi asked, struggling to keep a normal expression.Yet, Isla saw through the facàde of indifference in her eyes. She asked in a worried tone. “You rarely spoke since you came to work. You seem a bit off, Ms. Olsen. Are you alright?”Heidi didn't want to lie. Therefore, she only sat on her chair without speaking a word. Isla sat across from her. “You are supposed to be happy, you know. You've agreed to Mr. Anderson's proposal, and your wedding date has been announced.”Heidi fought the urge to groan out loud to express her anger and frustration. “Of course, I'm happy.” She forced a smile. Isla blew out a sigh. “Well, I haven't congratulated you yet. So congratulations. I'm happy

    …Grandpa Winston was sulking in the living room, questioning the Butler. “Tell me this is a dream. Heidi is pulling a prank on everyone.”Butler Luke shook his head. “Some things are beyond our control, Master. Maybe the Young Master and Madam aren't meant for each other.”“I worked hard, didn't I?” Grandpa Winston lamented. “I thought Lucas Harrison was serious as well.”“No matter how hard the Young Master tries, if she doesn't love him anymore, what can we do?”Heidi cleared her throat from the doorway, grabbing their attention.“Heidi, you've come!” Grandpa Winston's eyes lit up, then they dimmed and he sighed. “Forget it. What's the use in getting excited?”“Grandpa, come on…” Heidi sat beside him and held his hands. “Will you not be sad?”“Who told you I'm sad?” Grandpa Winston's lips cracked into a broken smile. “Didn't I pray that you find a better man? See, my prayer has been answered.”“Now you're making me sad, Grandpa.” Heidi sniffed her tears. “I'm sorry, okay? I didn't

    Eyes burning with fury, he stood with both fists clenched, glowering at her.“Hey, Grandson. You can't barge in here anyhow, show some respect,” Grandpa Winston scolded. As if he wasn't listening to his grandfather, his eyes remained pinned on her, boring holes through her back.A tense atmosphere surrounded the dining table. Feeling the discomfort creeping into her bones, Heidi rose to her feet and apologized to Grandpa Winston. “I'm sorry, Grandpa. I should get going.”“No, Heidi- wait!” Grandpa Winston stood up. “Aren't you going to eat dinner?”“Another time maybe, Grandpa.” Heidi picked up her bag and hugged him briefly. “Goodnight.”Then she turned for the door and hurried past the man.Heidi was so hasty in her steps that Lucas couldn't catch up with her.“Come back here, Heidi!”Even as he yelled out her name, she didn't glance back, and entered the car she came with and drove out of the mansion.But Heidi hadn't even left the neighborhood, driving at a high speed, when his c

    …Heidi remained mute while on the ride back to the Olsens Mansion.Steve didn't say a word either, humming a tune as if he could care less about the turmoil he was causing.Heidi decided to break the silence. “Is this your true color?”“What do you mean?”“You never loved me, did you?” Glancing away from the window, she stared at him. “Steve, your professed love was a lie as well as your promises. If you loved me, you wouldn't attempt to hurt me.”“You've guessed right,” Steve chuckled. “I was never after your love, Heidi. But believe me, I'm serious about our wedding.”“Why?”“You'll know why,” he replied. “Now enough talking. You wouldn't want to worsen this evening.”He was never after her love.Now everything made sense to Heidi. If Steve truly loved her, he wouldn't have been so cool about Lucas kissing her in his presence. Why, though?“Why the deadly battle with Lucas when you don't even love me?”“You aren't gonna stop asking questions, are you?” Steve glanced at her. “That

    No one dared to spend another second there. Everyone scattered, the servants running back to their quarters, and the family members running upstairs to their separate rooms. Heidi sat on her bed, digesting the news of her pregnancy leaked to the media. Her head pounded with a strong headache, and she supported it with both hands, listening to the rapid beating of her heart. What was happening? Why did things keep getting worse? She stood up and paced for a while, wiping her face in frustration. Heidi picked up her phone which was ringing. There were several message notifications from different people, and more text messages flooded in. She contemplated whether to answer the call or not. Then she took a deep breath and answered it. “Hello, Heidi! Girl, you're so full of surprises!” Kate's cheerful voice reverberated inside the phone's speakers. “Where should I start from- Gosh! I'm so excited! You finally agreed to marry my brother!” Heidi didn't say a word. She didn't know

    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?
