Neither did Heidi remember when she finished eating the food nor when she fell asleep.

The Next Morning,

She woke up on the large bed. Not only that. She found out that the wedding dress was gone, replaced by a silky nightgown.

Heidi's eyes flew wide.

At the same time, the bathroom door opened and Lucas stepped out in his bathrobe.

“Argh! Maniac! Pervert!” Heidi attacked him with the pillow. “Who the hell gave you permission to remove my clothes?”

“I didn't.” Lucas caught the pillow with one hand. He didn't blink when he spoke. “I wouldn't touch you without your permission, Heidi.”

Well, Heidi didn't believe him.

She stomped past him and entered the bathroom.

Everything was the same.

The slippers, the bathrobes, the toothbrushes, and the towels.

It was as if Heidi never left. Why didn't he move her things out?

She paused while taking a bath, contemplating those words.

More surprise was waiting for her when Heidi finished bathing and she went into the closet.

    …At The Olsens Mansion.Since the wedding scandal, the family hadn't had peace of mind.From the disappointment of canceling the wedding, to the grief due to the recent mishap, the mansion had never been thrown into such a state of gloom.“Heidi, won't you open the door?” Grandpa Jeffery stood in front of the door that led to Heidi's room, knocking gently. “It has been many hours and you refuse to come out of your room. Won't you at least come down and eat? Otherwise, how will you regain your health?”“Grandpa, leave her be.” Steve appeared in the hallway. “It's understandable that Heidi's sad about losing our baby.”“But she has to pull herself together.” Grandpa Jeffery grieved. “We all are sad that she lost the baby. Well, if she keeps at this, we might also lose her.”“Stop overthinking, Grandpa. Heidi will be fine. I promise.”“Can you speak to her then?”“Heidi will soon come around. But I'm more worried about the AG Group's reputation,” Steve pointed out. “What will happen t

    …At The Harrisons Villa.Heidi stood in front of the large doors that led to the study room, lifting her hand to knock, yet she halted before her hand reached the door.What was she doing?She could just walk out of the Villa without seeking his consent, right?The idea of staying with Lucas didn't settle well with her.But the man had kept her under tight security. She wondered if she would be able to leave easily by not putting up a fight.Instead of knocking, Heidi pushed the door open. Lucas sat across from his work desk, his narrowed eyes fixed on the computer's screen, seemingly not in a good mood. However, the instant he lifted his head and saw her, his eyes lit up.“Do you need anything?” He asked with a desperation that spelled if she needed anything, he'd scour the earth to find it for her. “No.” Pursing her lips, Heidi stepped towards his desk. “I still don't want to live here.”“I thought we were over that topic.” He swiveled his chair and pulled her onto his lap.“Hey

    “What the hell is going on here?” Grandpa Winston exclaimed.The Old Man rubbed his eyes. He peered at Heidi, then Lucas. “My eyes must be deceiving me,” he said, seemingly not convinced that it was Heidi standing in front of him. “Lucas Harrison, why are you messing around with a random girl when your wife's life is in danger?”Grandpa Winston's furious eyes snapped to Lucas. “Haven't you heard the rumors traveling in the city? They said Heidi fainted at her wedding. I lost my phone and couldn't speak with her. I think we still have a chance to save her.”“Grandpa, it's me.” Heidi hurried forward and hugged him, her heart bursting with emotions of happiness and relief.“Heidi?” Grandpa Winston squinted his eyes. “Well, it is you!” He held her shoulders, glancing at her from head to toe and laughing heartily. “How did you get here? Did Lucas Harrison save you behind my back?”“Yes, Grandpa.” Lucas brought him his phone. “I don't know why you colluded with Heidi to hide what's going on

    … The Next Morning.Despite the happy occasion, the gloom lingered at The Olsens Mansion.Instead of using the grand hall, the wedding was held in the Mansion's backyard within the flower fields.The bride, dressed in a plain white dress, her face devoid of any makeup, exchanged rings with the gloom. Steve was all smiles, his eyes glinting with mischief. As he leaned in to kiss her, he whispered, “My unyielding patience has paid off. I never thought the beginning could be this surreal.”Freya looked sideways, avoiding his kiss. “The beginning of what?” She whispered, her tone filled with uncertainty.“The beginning of everything.” Steve held her chin, forcing her to stare at him. “Heidi, do you want them to suspect?”She shook her head. “Then quit acting like a fool. You know it's too late. No more room to avoid me.” He forcefully kissed her. “Because we're now married.”Someone clapped, the sound not a very enthusiastic one.As the Priest gathered his things and walked away, they

With hundreds of this Mediation Certificate, we won't need to bother your lawyer to get us more.”“This is too many,” Lucas complained, sitting on his swivel chair. “You're wasting resources.”“The previous ones have been destroyed by Mrs. Harrison. It is safer to be cautious, right?”Lucas's phone rang, interrupting Amanda's speech. Seeing the caller's name, he answered the call promptly. “Any progress?”“Mr. Harrison, they have set off for GreyHills City.”“So soon?”“It's the only way to discover the mastermind.”“Is he not the mastermind?”“We have to do a thorough investigation before apprehending the criminal. If he has allies, it is much better to fish them all out secretly.”“Be fast with it. We can't have him roaming freely for long.”“You are right, Mr. Harrison. Such a criminal

    The knife dropped from Heidi's hand, clattering on the floor, and the maid's body shook fearfully.“M-Mr Harrison, Y-You're home early.”Yelling was Lucas's biggest mistake. Seeing the fear of horror in Heidi's eyes, he instantly regretted it. “It seems you are tired of your job, Mira.” He glared at the maid. “How dare you let her cook?”“Th-The Madam insisted, Young Master,” Mira stuttered. “I- I was supposed to help her-”“Whose job is it to cook? Does she look like a servant?”“No- No, definitely not.” The maid shook her head, going down on her knees. “Please forgive me, Young Master. I- I'll never allow her to cook anymore.”“What's the matter with you, Lucas Harrison?” Heidi fumed at him. “What is wrong with cooking some food for myself? Am I not allowed to touch any of your things?”“No, that's not the issue.” Lucas stepped forward and took her hand. “I was worried you might hurt yourself.”“You-”“Can't you consider your state, Heidi?” He added in a mellow tone. “You are pregn

    Tracy stood at the end of the stairs, eyes and mouth wide open. Pointing a trembling finger forward, she staggered backward. “You- You, Heidi.”Heidi pulled apart from Lucas, by pushing him away, her cheeks heating up in embarrassment.Lucas looked displeased. In fact, he appeared furious. As if he was enjoying his favorite game and someone suddenly turned off the switch.“What are you doing in this place?” He said in a hard tone. “Did I not warn you never to step foot here?”“Lucas, you are cheating on me!” Tracy screamed. “This is unfair! Why did you bring Heidi to your home? Remember you are divorced and I heard Heidi almost got married to Steve Anderson before the heavens struck her with calamity!”“Shut your filthy mouth or I'll cut off your tongue.” Lucas stepped down and grabbed her arm. “Don't you listen to simple instructions, Tracy? Why did your parents let you out?”“I missed you and am here to visit you-”“I have told you there's nothing between us!”Tracy held her stomac

She lunged forward, fighting for a way to get to Heidi.Heidi's eyes widened with shock. Now she believed the girl was not normal in the head.“Let me at her- let me at her!” Tracy screamed. “Lucas Harrison, you will only be mine!”“You're out of your mind!” Lucas grabbed her arm, immobilizing her, his furious eyes throwing daggers at her. “Since when did you turn into a hooligan, Tracy? What are you doing with a knife in your bag?”“Heidi is trouble, Lucas!” Tracy cried. “If I don't kill her, the spell she cast on you will never be broken!”Lucas twisted her wrist, causing the knife to fall off her fingers.

    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?
