Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 329. In The Mood
After changing her clothes…,Heidi went downstairs to find Lucas sulking on the couch. On a closer look, he wasn't actually sulking.There was a deep frown on his face as he stared at his phone. He seemed to have just finished making a phone call. His displeasure might be due to the phone call he just made, or probably due to her brutal rejection. Uhm, was she supposed to feel guilty?“Ehm, I'm ready.” Heidi cleared her throat to get his attention. “Can we leave now?”Lucas didn't look at her. He nodded absentmindedly, and stood up, taking her hand and leaving the house with her.Heidi watched his back, unease settling in. Was he mad at her? Her eyes would stray to his side profile now and then as he drove the car out of the Villa's gates and down to the city. The bodyguards took separate cars. One car behind them, and one car ahead of them.“Is this necessary?” Heidi didn't need to ask that question, she just wanted to strike up a conversation, to know what was bothering him.

‘What in the world!’ Overtaken by shock, Heidi almost exclaimed out loud, but Lucas quickly covered her mouth. He seemed to have noticed the couple too.Inside the dim room, the couple pulled apart. “What is that voice I just heard?”“Doesn't it sound familiar?”Murmured Zach and Kate, their startled eyes peering around. While Heidi's mind swirled with confusion, Lucas pulled her into his strong arms, hiding her face on his chest. He turned swiftly the moment the flashlight of a phone flashed in their direction. “I think I imagined it,” said Zach. “Maybe it's part of my imagination too,” Agreed Kate. A slight gasp resounded and Heidi didn't need to be told what was going on when soft moans, almost inaudible, split through the silence.Her heartbeat was in chaos. Hiding her face in Lucas's chest, her head buzzed with confusing thoughts. Kate and Zach? When?While the couple was engrossed in making out and the sounds were becoming disturbing, Lucas stood up with her and took h

Heidi and Lucas came to an abrupt stop. They exchanged glances. Luckily, the couple was making out, so they quietly walked past them without them noticing.Standing inside the elevator, Heidi fanned herself with both hands. “I couldn't feel the beating of my heart a moment there. That was close.”Lucas circled his arm around her protectively. His eyes reflected the expression on her face. “Bringing you out here was a bad idea.”No. It wasn't really.But Heidi couldn't find a stand to refute his words. Every time they came out, they always bumped into someone they knew. First was the cemetery and now the cinema.Maybe he was right. But Zach and Kate.The thought of the couple consumed her mind so much that she ignored Lucas's strange behavior.He made the bodyguards take her home, while he took a separate car out of the cinema.For the rest of the afternoon, Heidi sat in the living room, half-reclining on the couch with a hand supporting one of her cheeks. Lucas had to be wrong.

Heidi listened to Kate ranting for ten minutes straight without interrupting. She complained about how even her family worried about her. She spoke nonstop about how everyone was literally mad at her. The employees at StriveStyle Co. complained she stopped visiting. Zach spoke about her all the time. Zach told her that Grandpa Jeffery was growing wary of Steve because of her, and Zach vowed to beat up her brother whenever he set eyes on him.In every statement she spoke, there was always Zach's name.Hearing Kate repeating Zach's name over and over again gave Heidi the idea that the two must have grown close in her absence. The apprehension in her heart doubled, and she rubbed her forehead, feeling her head burning. Impossible.Zach was never serious about any woman. And Kate had a different taste for men.“Uhm, Kate. I'm sorry for everything. I got a new phone.”Heidi felt guilty about lying, but the truth would hurt even more. And she hoped Kate would relay the same message to he

The remote slipped from Heidi's hand. Shock and disbelief consuming her whole, she remained rooted on the chair, her eyes glued to the TV. Lilian and Killian? What the heck?“Madam, dinner is ready…” Mira came out a while later to find Heidi spacing out. She waved a hand in front of her. “Madam…”Heidi broke out of her reverie. She shuddered. Killian agreed? How was that even possible? How did Grandpa Jeffery… Grabbing her phone, Heidi surfed through the internet forum, searching for her family's name.The latest news headlines popped up. Killian's wedding with Lilian.What was posted on the channel was different from her expectations though. It read, ‘Killian went to the Olsens Household and proposed by himself.’No way.That was impossible. Was it one of those weird coincidences or was Killian aware that her family was about to make a move?Due to that, the netizens' comments were on the positive side. “President of the MXG Group and the Young Heiress from the Olsens Household

The genuine words he spoke and the smile in his eyes were enough to convince Heidi that Lucas wasn't bluffing. She averted her gaze, breaking eye contact. As long as she was happy. Would he do anything for her happiness? Heidi stood up, heading to the stairs. “You haven't finished your food yet,” Lucas called out. Heidi stopped and shook her head. “I'm full.”She resumed walking at a faster pace. When she got to the bedroom, she leaned her back against the door, her heart thumping with an unsteady rhythm. She sat on the bed, drowning in the pool of her thoughts.No doubt, Lucas followed her to the bedroom.He leaned by the door frame, cautious not to enter, fearing to tick her off. “What's wrong? Are you angry?”She wasn't angry, sad or confused. Heidi couldn't point fingers at what she was even feeling which was strange.Lucas hesitated by the door before he entered the room and sat beside her. “Heidi, are you alright? Speak to me…”Heidi thought about that strange letter. She

…At GreyHills City. Lounging on a recliner chair across the swimming pool, Steve had a tablet in his hands, scrolling through the news channel. Freya sat on the chair beside him, pouring him a glass of juice. A chuckle suddenly tore from his throat. “What a bunch of fools,” he murmured sarcastically. “Do they think the MXG Group will save them from my wrath?”Freya dropped the juice bottle. “The MXG Group?”“Look what your family is up to.” Steve waved the tablet's screen in her face. “They want a marriage alliance with Killian Jonas. They're too dumb to realize that it won't change anything.”Faking an astonished look, Freya dropped the glass and it shattered on the ground. “M-Marriage?”Steve frowned. “What's wrong with you?”She sighed. “Nothing.”He narrowed his eyes. “Are you concerned about the wedding or the AG Group's fate?”“None.” She shook her head, putting on an impassive look. “I'm concerned about neither. Steve Anderson, remember the AG Group is our enemy.”“What a s

Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 445. Lasting for Eternity
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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 443. The Only Person Who Believed Her
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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 441. Her Paradise
“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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 440. Let Her Go
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? You're the nicest person I've ever met; I fell for a villain and almost let him slip away, I lost my job and was about to lose my life but you saved me even though we never kne
