… 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
…At The GK Group.Amanda walked into the President's Office with some documents in hand. She dropped them on the desk, arranging them neatly inside a folder. “I have collected many, Mr. Harrison. 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
“Are you crazy!” Lucas yelled at Tracy, staring at the knife. “Drop it this instant!”He moved in front of Heidi, shielding her from Tracy's attack. Tracy, however, acted like a crazy woman. 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. He said in a low dangerous voice, his rage tensing up the atmosphere in the room, “For the last time, I will warn you, Tracy! Stay away from this Villa.”“No, no- you can't do this to me.” Tr
“Y-You mean I should die?” Tracy shook her head with disbelief. “No, Lucas. You're only joking. You don't mean it.” “When have I ever joked with you?” Heidi looked from Tracy to Lucas. Unable to bear the tension or the soreness of her feet, she walked away to sit on the couch. “Come back here!” But no one expected the crazy girl to come after her. Raising the knife high in the air, Tracy wanted to attack Heidi again- At that moment, the bodyguards walked in. “Young Master, we heard commotions.” “Get this crazy woman out of this place.” Lucas grabbed Tracy back and pushed her into the bodyguards' hands. “Notify the security man. No one should ever let her step foot here again.” “No! No! Lucas!” Tracy wailed and thrashed as the bodyguards escorted her out after seizing the knife from her hand. “This Villa- This Villa is ours! Please don't do this to me!” Her screams receded shortly, and a peaceful silence descended. Heidi sat on the couch, her heart trembling from almost bei
Lucas looked towards Heidi, knowing she could hear Grandpa's voice because he'd put the call on hands-free.“What girl are you talking about?”“Tracy Carlson, of course! Her family wants to make trouble for us. Will you come to the Mansion tomorrow? Also, bring Heidi along.”Grandpa Winston hung up after that. Heidi's brows furrowed worriedly. What was Tracy up to this time?“Why does Grandpa want us to go together?” “I don't know,” Lucas replied, looking confused as well as mad. “We'll see tomorrow.”“Uh.” Heidi nodded. She drank the water, dabbed her lips with a tissue, and stood up. Lucas hurried after her. “Heidi…” “What is it?” Heidi stopped by the door to the bedroom. Lucas hesitated before speaking, his eyes darting from her to the bedroom's door. “When will you start letting me sleep with you?”“What did you say!?” She exclaimed, almost yelling at him, her eyes furious.“No, I mean, when will you let me sleep in our bedroom?” Lucas rephrased his words. “The study room's
“Skyler Carlson, I never knew you were Tracy's Grandfather.” Grandpa Winston said in a disheartened voice, looking confused, his tone filled with disbelief. “I would have done my best to separate her from my Grandson as early as possible.”“You!” Tracy's grandfather pointed his cane, his hand trembling with anger. “Old Man Winston, I respect you, but it seems you don't value the relationship between us.”“That relationship was not even supposed to exist in the first place.”Tracy's father exchanged glances with his wife. “We are not joking. We will take action if nothing is done about this. Lucas Harrison has to marry Tracy.”“After wasting her youth on him, we can't let him toss her away because he thinks he has fallen for someone else. Our status might not be on par with the Olsens, but you know our family has a deep root in the underground world.”Tracy's grandfather nodded, his stern face contorting into a scowl. “If we have to use force, so be it. We will not bear this humiliati
