After Tracy's statement, there was silence. Lucas's eyes glinted, nodding his head thoughtfully. “Remember what you said. I will find Drake and make him spill the truth. You will spend the rest of your days in jail.”“Lucas Harrison, listen to me…” Blake interrupted him. “Forget this issue. You can't favor Heidi over Tracy. They are both carrying your children.”“You doubt if Tracy's child is yours. How about you wait for the DNA test results before you toss her and her baby aside?”Hearing those words from Stella, Lucas snickered. “You truly are a fool.”Stella's expression shifted, her eyes flaming. “Call me whatever you might. I don't believe Tracy would kill my child.”“That's your business.” Lucas turned from her, returning his gaze to Tracy. “You Will remain confined here until I find Drake.”“Ah! Let me go!” Tracy yelped as Lucas pulled her away. “Where are you taking me?”“Take her to my quarters! Lock her up.” Lucas pushed her into a bodyguard's hands. “Listen to no one else
Stella cut the call. Heidi looked at the phone, curious, her frown deepening. As she tapped into the message notification on the screen, she wondered what she was doing.What kind of a big lie was that? Lucas keeping Tracy in his quarters? That was ridiculous.Yet, the picture stared back at her. It was shot at a far angle. Inside the photo was Tracy hugging Lucas.Heidi's heart jolted and she almost dropped the phone. She wasn't a stranger to his quarters back at the Harrisons Mansion. Even though Lucas never let her in there while they were still married and Grandpa Winston had to reserve a guestroom for her in his quarters, she knew the place like the back of her hand. A text message appeared on the screen. It was from Stella. [This isn't photoshopped. You can see well for yourself.]Stella was trying so hard to convince her. Heidi shook her head and chuckled, giving back the phone to the bodyguard.Of course, it wasn't photoshopped. Tracy was pregnant in the photo and Lucas wa
“Hello, Mr. Harrison. It's good to see you.” Switching to professional mode, Isla stood up and shook hands with him. “I heard you've been here since last night,” Lucas said. “How did you know, Mr. Harrison?”“Mira told me through the phone.”‘Oh, really?’ Heidi nodded her head, realization settling in. So he'd been close to his phone, only choosing to ignore her call. “Hey, Heidi. You're back from the hospital.” Lucas sat beside her, his voice soft with tenderness. “Are you feeling better now?”Heidi hesitated before answering, catching a strange fragrance from his shirt which didn't belong to him. “Y-Yeah. Dr. Shawn treated me well.”“Good. Drake is on the run. The Police are searching for him. I'll get justice for you very soon.”Heidi pressed her lips together, nodding to his words. Then he stood up and left for the stairs. Heidi's eyes followed his back, many questions bugging her mind. Lucas didn't even apologize for leaving her stranded in the hospital. Did she even want h
The bodyguard handed Heidi his phone. Once again, Heidi was forced to look at the photos of Lucas and Tracy. Wearing the same business suit he left the Villa in, in the first photo, he held the jacket in his hands, and in the second photo, he wrapped the jacket around Tracy. Heidi gripped the phone.Taking in a deep breath, she shoved the phone back into the bodyguard's hand, dreading to see more of those photos. “But the Madam told me you must see this.” He showed her the screen which displayed a photo of Lucas carrying Tracy like a bride and heading back to his quarters. Heidi's anger skyrocketed and she yelled at him, “Will you leave me alone!? What's your business with Lucas and me by the way? Be careful or I'll have you fired!”“Madam, please forgive me.” The bodyguard lowered his head. “I was only carrying out orders.”“Well, get out!” Heidi snapped, pointing to the door. “Never enter here without permission!”The bodyguard left. Heidi felt bad for yelling- well, she felt ba
The glint in his eyes and the suggestive smile on his face had Heidi's heart racing. She shuffled backward until her back hit the bed's headboard. “Hey, don't come close. Lucas Harrison, don't even think about it.”“Think about?” He reached out and swept her hair aside. Heidi glared at him. “You have already taken a bath, so get out.”But the stubborn man didn't listen to her warning. He leaned forward until there wasn't a space of breath between them. Trapping her to the bed, he brushed his lips against hers. “Why do you seem mad, Heidi?” He whispered. Heidi swallowed, praying he couldn't hear her heartbeat. “Who said I'm mad?”“Your actions,” he responded. “You've been like this since morning.”“Is it because I didn't return to the hospital last night?” Lucas added softly. “I'm sorry…”Last night?What about this afternoon?Her mind went back to those photos with him and Tracy and Heidi shut her eyes, taking in a deep breath. Urgh! Questioning him about those photos would defi
~Lucas headed to the guest room, his mind racing with thoughts.Luckily, he had some extra clothes there. He'd heard her cry. He wasn't imagining things. What the hell was wrong with her?After changing into his pyjamas, he neither lay down nor wallowed in those thoughts. Lucas left the building and strode to the servants' quarters. He banged on Mira's door and her scream sounded from the inside.“Ahhh! Who's it!? Is it a robber!?”“Come out!” Lucas shouted. “Young Master!” She gasped. A shuffling sound came then her footsteps skittered to the door. Mira flung the door open, staring at him with fear in her eyes. “H-How may I help you, Young Master? Is Madam alright?”“What did you do to Heidi?”“M-Me?” She pointed to herself, her body shaking. “I- I didn't do anything, Young Master. N-Not that I can remember.”“Well, why is she in a bad mood?”“Young Master, did Madam say I did anything wrong? Please forgive me, I swear it won't repeat itself. Please let me keep my job!” She fell
“Don’t you dare come near me!” Lucas brought out his gun, pointing it forward. Tracy came to a screeching halt a few distance from him. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. “W- What are you doing with a gun? Do you want to kill me?”“I might. If you come near me.”“No- No, Honey. I know you're joking.” She staggered forward. “I just want to show you something. Our baby- it kicked.”Ignoring her, Lucas shouted out to the bodyguards. “Who the hell let her out!?”They all came running after her, and two of them grabbed her arms. “We are sorry, Young Master. She tricked us by saying she wanted to throw up outside.”“Why didn't you make her throw up in the bathroom?”“She said her pregnancy doesn't allow her to perceive the smell of the bathroom. She might lose the baby-”“Does that even make sense!” Lucas scolded. “If you let her out one more time, you will all lose your jobs!”“Yes, Young Master!”The bodyguards nodded concurrently. They started dragging Tracy away and she screamed. “A
It was the reason why Lucas couldn't disclose the news about visiting the Mansion. Heidi would ask why his constant visits and would find it suspicious. He'd had to be forced to spill the whole truth. “Can you inform the Doctor to make preparations for Grandpa's trip?” Lucas said to the Butler. “Right away, Young Master.” The Butler nodded and walked out of the bedroom. Alone with Grandpa Winston in the room, Lucas couldn't help but share the thoughts bugging his mind. “Heidi has been acting weird recently. It is scary how easily she gets angry.”“Have you asked her why she gets angry?” Grandpa Winston smiled. “The maid told me it is mood swings. How true is that?”He doubted if leaving her by herself alone at home was even a good idea. With Heidi's recurrent anger, wouldn't she feel murderous sometimes?Grandpa chuckled at his words, his eyes squinting tauntingly. “Is she not pregnant?”“So it's normal,” Lucas murmured, wishing there was a way to cure that strange symptom. Her
