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
Lucas, who had also noticed Zach standing outside Kate's Villa, squinted his eyes. “What's he doing here?”“It's a long story…” Heidi replied, sighing helplessly.Due to this incident and the crazy thing Zach had done, she didn't know how to face Kate. “Maybe we should stop by…”“And invite Zach Olsen to our home?” Lucas said. “Not a good idea.”“Why?” Heidi asked. “He's gonna spend the night outside here.”“The fact that the security doesn't mind him means he'll be safe.”Zach must have bribed the security men for them to ignore him.“He's disturbing the whole neighborhood.”“Our Villa's walls are soundproof.” Lucas brought out his phone and busied himself with whatever intrigued him inside the device.Heidi rolled her eyes. She glanced out of the window, staring at Zach's figure which was now only a speck in the distance.Lucas might have his own reasons, but maybe it wasn't a good idea. Zach never saw eye to eye with Lucas. How sure was she that he wasn't going to blow the whistl
Placing both palms on his chest, Heidi wanted to refute his words when he leaned in and kissed her long and hard.Every thought flew from her mind, leaving in its wake the sheer pleasure of having his tongue explore her mouth. He slid his hand behind her back, his fingers tracing up her dress to unzip the fabric. Heidi yelped as the warm air in the room flushed over her skin.Shifting away, Lucas pulled the dress off her body, his gaze falling on the roundness of her stomach.His eyes swirling with emotions, he whispered, “Beautiful…” his whispers, a gentle caress to her heart.Heidi's toes curled up, her cheeks heating up in embarrassment as his unwavering gaze traveled down her body. Not knowing where to hide her face, she closed her eyes, feeling his hands removing the rest of the clothing on her.Now left only in her underwear, she kept her eyes shut and fisted the bedsheets as he placed soft kisses down her neck.Her breathing hitched when his fingers curled around the hook of
Hearing the sound of the doorbell ringing, Heidi didn't think twice before scurrying out of the bedroom not caring who it might be or what they might be up to…She just wanted to escape this embarrassment.The sound came from downstairs. By the time she reached the door, Heidi was already panting. “Here's a delivery for Mr. Harrison,” said the guy standing outside. He handed a box to her casually and even asked her to put her signature.Wondering what was inside the huge box, Heidi returned to the living room. She sat on the couch and tapped on the box. It was shallow inside. It wasn't heavy either.Contemplating if she should look inside the box or not, a delightful aroma interrupted Heidi's thoughts. Huh?Was there someone else in the house?Standing up, her feet took her to the dining area. She found food perfectly set on the table.“Mrs. Harrison, you have come down.” A middle-aged man appeared, wearing a Chef's uniform.While he introduced himself, Heidi's eyes were fixed on
The night dress was more transparent than it was comfortable.Heidi sat on the edge of the bed, knowing she was supposed to be sleeping- at least, she was supposed to be pretending to be sleeping,But then,Who was she kidding? She sighed, her fingers trembling a bit as they fumbled with the lacey outline of the golden dress. Her heart skipped when the bathroom door opened. Looking up, her eyes met with his hazy ones. As if intoxicated, he took her in, his deep gaze awakening the weird sensations again. Lucas stumbled forward and planted both palms beside her on the bed, leaning in until their breaths mixed.He gave her a lopsided smile, eyes darting to the exposed flesh on her chest. “Heidi, what are you afraid of?”In the most sensual tone, his deep voice floated into her ears, resonating within her core. That was right. What was she afraid of?Deciding to come with him was enough reason that she was willing to take any risk. Swallowing for the umpteenth time, Heidi shuffled b
Lucas dealing with Steve Anderson… well, Heidi couldn't wait to witness the drama unfold in the courtroom.Despite wishing she was there, it was safer to remain hidden from the public's eyes for now especially now that she was in this stage of her pregnancy.Heidi knew better not to risk the life of her baby. Shuffling down from the bed, she hurriedly got ready for the day.Downstairs, the Chef had already made breakfast. One of her favorite foods once again. Seeing the plates of food on the dining table untouched, she wondered if Lucas even ate breakfast before leaving. “Mrs. Harrison, is there something else that you need?” The Chef lingered, his face holding a radiant smile.Heidi smiled. “This will be enough, Chef Sam,” she replied. “By the way, when did Lucas leave?”As if reading her mind, the Chef asked, “Are you worried Mr. Harrison didn't eat his breakfast?”“Uhm…” Heidi twirled the tablecloth around her fingers. “Did he?”The Chef shook his head. “I urged him to, but he
Two minutes later, the maid hurried downstairs with a thick shawl in her hand. She helped Heidi wrap it over her shoulders. They left the Villa together and Heidi felt the girl's peering eyes on her. She initially chose to ignore it until the maid's gaze on her was getting disturbing. “Is there something on my face?” Heidi chuckled. The maid snapped back to her senses. “I'm so sorry, Mrs. Harrison… I was thinking… How did Mr. Harrison find such a beautiful wife?”Heidi wrapped both arms around herself. The veil wasn't enough to prevent the cold from seeping into her body. “Do you live in this city? Mr. Harrison originates from Phoenix City and his whole family is there. Phoenix City is much more civilized than GreyHills, but he kept you in this Villa instead. Uhm, may I ask?” She lowered her voice. “Are you perhaps his…”Trailing off, the maid gave her a knowing look. As she spoke, Heidi's gentle smile gradually transformed into a subtle frown. She gave her a proper look. “What

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? 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
