“Oh, then… let's wait and see.” Lilian rolled her eyes. “But just so you know, this little action doesn't make you the savior of the AG Group…” she chuckled, intertwining her fingers with Killian's who sat beside her. “Because, my husband here…, ever since we got married, has been doing everything to save the AG Group from collapse while you did nothing but hide in Lucas Harrison's home.”Shaking her head, Heidi returned her attention to her food. “So don't even think about getting any accolades,” Lilian went on, her tone dripping with hate and mockery. “After this storm is over, I'll be titled the new CEO of the AG Group.”“Hey, Honey…” Killian drew her attention. “Why don't you eat your food? It's gonna tune cold.”Lilian eyed the food and scoffed. “Didn't you promise we'll order a special breakfast today?”“I got busy.” He smiled, trying to feed her. “This isn't that bad. Taste it.”“The least you can give me is making sure I eat healthy since our honeymoon got canceled. Due to th
Isla broke her gaze from his, her face paling. “Uhm, Ms. Olsen… I'll be leaving…” She collected her phone from Heidi's hand. “Please remember to switch on your phone. I'll call you later regarding Ms. Anderson's whereabouts.”Feeling the tension in the air, Heidi nodded. “Sure. Please go ahead, Isla.”But she wasn't sure if she would even get her phone back from her mother.Gosh! Zach Olsen!What was in that man's brain?Heidi lowered herself onto the chair, curdling her bump to ease the feeling of discomfort in her stomach.Killian broke his gaze from Isla's back, his eyes flashing with guilt. “You didn't tell me she was going to come.”“Did I need to give you a heads-up?” Heidi raised a brow at him.Killian chuckled. “Of course, not. Why the cold treatment, though? She didn't even say hello or goodbye.”Scoffing at his words, Heidi rubbed her pounding forehead. “Are you ready to sneak out?” Killian changed the topic. “I'm afraid I can't hold him back any longer. Lucas Harrison is d
Seeing the crazy girl approaching in large strides, Heidi stood up. Killian stood as well, a look of helplessness washing over his face. “And here goes it again.”“Heidi- Heidi, have I not warned you to stay away from my husband!” Lillian stopped in front of them, her eyes flaring. “Let me guess… you can neither have Lucas Harrison nor Steve Anderson, so you've set your eyes on my husband! Why do you keep luring him to wherever you are?”“Are you so insecure to think I'll snatch your husband, Lillian?” Heidi folded her hands. “How pathetic.”“You- You're so pathetic and shameless, Heidi!” Lilian screamed, dragging Killian to her side. “I know you! Ever since you came back, I know there will never be peace in this home! Well, stay out of my husband's way!”“Even better,” she added. “I'll report you to Grandpa so he can put an end to this nonsense you're trying!”Lillian turned and stormed away. Killian facepalmed himself. “I'm never gonna take her out to any gala. She'll make me look
“Ha! Really?” Heidi gave a short laugh even though her Uncle's words weren't funny. “Let me guess. After removing me from my position, you'll make Lillian the CEO.”“You're not dumb,” Harold Olsen agreed. “Just wait and see. Even if you beg, no one will save you this time. Not even your grandfather because you're carrying the enemy's child.”“What are you saying, Dad?” Zach butted in. “Wasn't it announced that Heidi's child belongs to her ex-husband?”“That's a blatant lie!” Harold denied. “Heidi's child belongs to no one else but Steve Anderson, our enemy! She is now ashamed to admit it that is why she announced that her ex-husband is the biological father. Clearly, she won't be allowed to run the AG Group when she's nurturing the enemy's child. If the child grows up, he'll follow in his father's footsteps.”“Shit! That is chaotic!” Zach ran a hand through his hair, his expression anxious. “Well, it's not Heidi's fault-”“Says who?” Harold chuckled. “This reason is enough to remove h
Heidi fought the urge to roll her eyes. “Will apologizing reverse the time or change what has already happened?”“Look, Heidi… I'm sorry, okay?” Zach sighed. “I know Kate is your close friend-”“Well, Heidi will stop being friends with her,” Grandpa Jeffery said. Shaking his head, Zach stood up. “No. I'm going to marry Kate.”“What!?”“What!?”Both Grandpa Jeffery and Heidi exclaimed at the same time. Grandpa, whose voice had been weak, could even be heard outside. “Zach Olsen, are you out of your mind?” Grandpa squinted his eyes. “You don't mean it, Zach!” Heidi gasped. “I'm a fool, can't you see?” Zach's shoulders dropped. “I know I owe Kate a lot. I destroyed her career. Heidi, you're right. I'm a scumbag.”“She is from the enemy's family, Zach. The least you can do is apologize,” Grandpa Jeffery advised. “You don't need to marry her.”“Haven't you always urged me to get hitched, Grandpa?” Zach curled his lips. “I'm about to make your dreams come true, so you should be happy-”
…At The GK Group.Lucas sat across from his office desk, gripping the chair's armrest to suppress his rage. “I shouldn't have allowed you to take her away.”“Stop blaming me, Buddy…” Killian played with the Rubik's cube in his hands, relaxing back on his chair. “Sooner or later, the Olsens Family would come looking for her.”Heidi had been eager to leave…Lucas stood up and faced the wide window, staring at the vast city below. She'd always reminded him that she never wanted to stay. She couldn't wait for an opportunity to go back to her family.“It's easy to escape…”“But she doesn't want to…” Killian said. “She's hellbent on pleasing her grandfather.”She even stopped him from coming, never considering his feelings.How heartless could she get? Hadn't she realized how desperate he was?“I feel you, Buddy.” Killian came to his side. “I hope you honor her request, though. Her grandfather is ill. He doesn't want to see you.”Lucas balled his fists. “I hope there's a way…”“A way for
At GreyHills City.The airport buzzed with the engine sounds of the airplanes. Under the dark sky, their blinking lights illuminated the vast area. Heidi got down from the private jet and a gush of wind struck her. The air in the city was especially cold, making her shudder slightly.Beside her, Isla held both their handbags, squinting her eyes and looking around. “It's too windy here, Ms. Olsen. How are we gonna get to our location when we haven't booked any cab yet?”Heidi took shelter under a terminal. “Let's wait for a few more minutes.Isla sat beside her, letting out a sigh. “Are you sure Mr. Harrison is gonna come?”Heidi wondered why Lucas's jet hadn't landed yet. It must be due to the bad weather. “He said he'll come,” she replied.“What are we gonna do about the bodyguards?” Isla added, referring to the bodyguards who were helping to unload their luggage.Heidi hadn't thought much about them.How was she going to ditch the bodyguards?“It's not too late to book a room i
Heidi entered after a bit of hesitation. “Won't you come with us?” She said to Isla who remained in the same spot.Her eyes darting to Killian, Isla shook her head. “Uhm, I'll stay in the hotel, Ms. Olsen. Who's gonna make excuses for you when you're not around?”Heidi nodded in realization. “Well, take care, Isla.”While Lucas's driver drove the car away, Killian let out a loud curse. “Why's your assistant suddenly so cold, Heidi?”“Maybe you should ask her,” Heidi replied in a light voice, cuddling in Lucas's embrace, longing for warmth. Killian grumbled some words under his breath. “You know what? Stop the car. I think I'll also take the hotel.”So the driver stopped and he left.Wondering what the man was up to and worried for her assistant, Heidi turned to Lucas. “I don't like that idea. Stop him.”“I believe the bodyguards won't prevent him from entering since he's also a member of your household.”Lucas had completely misunderstood her request.She wasn't worried about the bo
