Tracy's parents left in shame and humiliation.

Grandpa Winston breathed out a tired sigh. “You see what you have done, Lucas?” He blamed him. “If you have checked Tracy's background well, you wouldn't be senseless enough to have a relationship with her.”

“Grandpa, it's my fault,” Lucas murmured, his fists clenching. “But trust me. That Old Man can't do anything.”

“Who are you to say that? You were only a little boy when that crazy man wreaked havoc in this city. He was the great king of the underworld, everyone feared him.”

“He has lost his influence, right?” Lucas didn't look fazed. “If he is the rumored mafia king, didn't he spend the last fifty years in prison?”

Grandpa Winston stood up and paced back and forth, looking deep in thought. “He spoke so confidently and even threatened this family in my face. His wings must have been cut off, but I fear some gangs still listen to him.”

“If he tries anything, we'll have the authorities apprehend him.”

    Stella returned to her senses. Overtaken by rage towards Tracy, she seemed to want to spill something. When she realized it, she quickly caught her tongue. Tracy wiped her tears, sobbing dramatically. “I know you are depressed, Stella, but I feel wronged that you think I could do that kind of thing.”The glare did not cease from Stella's eyes. Knowing Tracy might have something to do with her miscarriage, and yet, she couldn't spill it here, she gritted her teeth inside. So it wasn't Lucas's fault.“Yes, I'm depressed,” Stella said past a forced smile. “Tracy, let's go back to Blake's quarters.”Tracy looked hesitant. “M-Maybe some other time. My family are waiting inside the car, I have to-”“Just follow me!” Stella snapped at her. She grabbed Tracy's arm and left the building with her. Grandpa Winston squinted his eyes, watching their departing figures. “Blake, your wife should better not be up to something.”“Dad, you know she's unwell,” Blake said in a defeated tone. “She will

    His palms landed on her bare shoulders suddenly and she flinched.Impulsively, Freya hid the gun in a mini compartment under the desk. “What's wrong? getting impatient?” Her voice was barely audible, her expression sullen as she gazed at him through the mirror.“Should I not be?” Steve said, pulling her up to face him, his hands holding her shoulders firmly. Freya trembled and avoided his gaze. “Have you forgotten my condition? My scars haven't healed yet.”While speaking, she wrapped a protective arm around her stomach. The man groaned with impatience and he lifted her dress and stared at the scar on her stomach. “It has been over a week since your operation.”“The Doctor said it'll take more than a month.”“That long?” His eyes darkened. Then he dropped his hands from her shoulders, sighing disappointedly.“Look, Heidi…” He murmured. “There are other ways we can make love.”“Love?” Her eyes clouded with tears. “Is that what you call forcing someone into a marriage?”“Well, do you

    Heidi looked from him to the outline of his phone inside his pants pocket.Lucas was acting strange. If it wasn't something that concerned her, why would he hide it from her?“Have you heard from Freya?”It must be the thousandth time Heidi had asked that question today. Yet, the man gave her the same reply.“Not yet. As a spy, Freya has to act unnoticed.”Heidi rubbed her forehead tiredly. “Come on, when will this end?”“Don't worry, I'll speak with her Boss.” Lucas patted her hair, reassuring her. Heidi let out a sigh.After they finished eating, he carefully helped her to her feet.“Hey, stop treating me like a retard. I can walk by myself!”She slapped his hand away and grabbed her bag from the table.Lucas followed closely behind as if he feared she would suddenly fall. “Be careful.”Heidi's irritation grew.“Do you want me to carry you?”Heidi didn't answer him. She brought out a mirror from her bag and checked out her makeup. “No, I look ugly. Why are my cheeks getting puffy?”

Lucas barged into his office and met Amanda pacing back and forth. “You're finally here, Mr. Harrison!” She exclaimed upon sighting him, gathering some reports from the desk. “What's wrong? Why the urgent call?” Lucas was displeased.Because when he arrived at the company, there wasn't any chaos anywhere. The employees were all calm, carrying out their work happily. “You do know that I had to accompany Heidi to the hospital.”“I know you cherish your wife, Mr. Harrison. But this also concerns her.” Amanda brought him the reports. “It's about the AG Group. There's more trouble.”“Spill it.”“Have we not tried our best to prevent further scandal? Right now, there are many people who are after taking it down. As we're speaking, they're losing the battle at the stock market.”“What is Zach Olsen doing, and Natalie Olsen?”“I heard the President of the AG Group is still recovering at the hospital, and the COO has gone on a business trip.

    Heidi was holding a long stick, hopping up to reach one of the bundles of coconuts layered on its tree. As if propelled by an unknown force, Lucas hurried to her side and snatched the stick from her hand.“Hey, you!” Heidi panicked. Greatly startled, her hand flew to her chest. “Lucas Harrison, are you trying to kill me?”No. She was trying to kill herself.But Lucas couldn't say out his thoughts as his gaze fell on the bump in her stomach, his heart racing. “What is the meaning of this, Heidi?” He managed to say the words without sounding angry. And he shot a glare at the maid. “Why did you let her? Don't you know it is dangerous?”“I tried to, Young Master,” the maid said exasperatedly. “Madam just wouldn't listen to me.”“What is wrong in picking some coconuts?” Heidi dropped both hands on her waist. “Do you have a problem with that?”“You can't do that?”“Why not? Why do you care?”She especially seemed mad at him. Lucas couldn't tell the source of her rage. “Where are the body

    Heidi followed Lucas out of the kitchen, grumbling some incoherent words. Inside the living room, she sat on the couch and he sat beside her. Heidi shifted away, and Lucas shifted close to her. “What do you want?” “What was the ultrasound result?” His eyes lit up, seemingly eager and excited to know the answer. “Are we having a girl?” “No!” His excitement toned down a bit, his smile decreasing. “Well, is it a boy?” “No!” A big frown formed on his forehead at her answer. Lucas threw her a helpless look. “I had to hurry to the company, sorry I couldn't accompany you.” “Is the company more important than my baby?” “You mean our baby,” Lucas corrected her. “Of course not. But I had to.” Heidi remained silent, counting imaginary lines on the floor. “It won't happen again, I promise.” She didn't reply, but her stiff body loosened up. Taking that as a sign that she wasn't mad at him anymore, Lucas said, “Will you now tell me the baby's gender?” “I'm serious, I don't know.” “W

Have you forgotten we have somewhere to go?” She tried to sound as nice as possible, fighting the urge to scream at him.Lucas closed his laptop. “Are you ready?”“I have been ready for over an hour now.” Heidi glanced at her wristwatch. “You're not gonna go back on your promise, are you?”“I won't. But I need to work on this. Just give me a few minutes.”Heidi puffed up her cheeks, frustration filled her heart.She sat on the couch and folded her hands across her chest, facing him. “There's something I want you to do,” he said after a while. “Can you help me speak with your assistant?”“Huh?”Lucas left his chair and approached her with his phone. “I'd like you to connect me with her.”“For what?” Heidi glanced from him to the phone.Lucas hesitated before speaking. “It's about business.”“Don't think you can fool me, Lucas Harrison.” Heidi rose to her feet. “What bus

    Before the phone touched the ground, Lucas caught it quickly.Heidi slumped on the couch, supporting her forehead with both hands, anxiety creasing her brows. “Ms. Olsen- Ms. Olsen, are you still there?” Isla's frantic voice sounded through the phone. “Ms. Olsen-”“Heidi, are you alright?” Lucas knelt in front of her, his eyes flashing with worry. “Speak to me, Heidi.”“Ms. Olsen-”“Is that how you speak to a pregnant lady!?” Lucas yelled into the phone, interrupting Isla's voice.His rage took over and he didn't think twice before yelling the angry words. Silence hung in the atmosphere.Heidi gasped and looked up. From the other end of the phone, Isla also gasped. And Lucas…When he realized what he just did, he slapped his forehead, shaking his head. “Th-That is Lucas Harrison's voice. Ms. Olsen, are you in the same place? What's going on?”Heidi was so shaken and confused that she remained motionless and unresponsive. “Ms. Olsen. What are you doing in the same place as Lucas Ha

    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?
