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
Kate stood by the wall, her hair messed up, her skin looking deadly pale as if she'd not stepped into the sun for a long time.On her lips was a sinister smile, her eyes holding a promise of vengeance.“Kate, Oh my God-”“Oh, please save it!” Kate strolled forward, maintaining that creepy smile on her face, her hands folded across her chest. “I shouldn't have underestimated any member of the Olsens Household, especially you, Heidi.”Heidi sighed. “Kate, I can explain-”“Steve is in the courtroom about to receive a life sentence and all he did wrong was expressing his love for you. What's the point in explaining?” Kate murmured, her expression hard. “I'm quite surprised that you dared to come here.”“Oh, but you're mistaken, Kate.” Heidi tried to hold her hand. Kate shifted away. “Do you really believe Steve loves me? Haven't you heard of his bad deeds?”“They are nothing but a lie,” Kate's voice cracked. “I don't believe Steve will ever do that! You are framing him, Heidi, all because
Heidi didn't know how it happened, but in the next second, she managed to overpower the girl.As Kate's energy gradually declined while she lost tons of blood, Heidi took hold of her wrist, her heart racing as she gripped the wound to stop her from losing more blood. Panicked and shaken, she called out to anyone nearby. “Help! Is somebody there!”Letting go of Kate and running outside to find the security man was a bad idea. Heidi held on tight to her wrist, yelling at the top of her voice. “Somebody help!”Not a minute passed by, Someone hurried inside the room. Not the security man but a young woman in her thirties.“What in the world is going on here!?” Suzie exclaimed, her screams echoing. “What happened to her, Heidi? How- How did she-”Kate had already gone limp in Heidi's arms, her heavy weight making her stagger backward.Heidi's devastation knew no bounds. Her lips quivered and fear gripped her heart. “Please get the ambulance! Be fast!”“I've come with my car!” Suzie said,
The trial had been uploaded on the internet, and Heidi showed her the most important clip.“I guess using the wrong person for vengeance was my biggest mistake. What can I say? All the evidence is out. I'm guilty and should go to jail. But, my family has nothing to do with my revenge, so leave them alone.”As she watched and listened to Steve's voice, Kate's tears flowed like a dam.“No way. That's not true,” Kate whimpered. “He's lying. It's made up.”“The truth is bitter, and so is misjudging others.”Kate covered her mouth. “How could he do that?”“It was a shock to everyone…” Heidi explained. “It's hard to read others, isn't it?”Kate went on crying. In the end, she lifted her head and whispered, “Please leave me alone, Heidi… for now.”Without arguing, Heidi stood up. “Don't hold a grudge, Kate. It's a poison to the heart. I hope we remain friends.”Kate turned her back to her, facing the wall, her muffled sobs resounding in the ward. Glancing in Suzie's direction where she sat
Grandpa's will?Heidi stood by the doorway, frozen by Stella's words. Why would the lady beg Lucas to have the lawyer read Grandpa Winston's Will when the Old Man was sound and healthy?“Lucas Harrison, why are you hesitating? Are you intentionally hiding your grandfather's death from the media? For what reason? Is it so that you can amass the family's wealth?”“Watch your tongue.”“You froze my account and even punished your father by reducing his shares. He is now the legal chairman of the GK Group. I came here so we can speak as a family. If you want me to take it to the media so the whole world will know, I'd rather do that-”“Stella, If you don't keep quiet…” Lucas's expression turned dangerous, and he strode towards the woman. “I won't hesitate to cut off your tongue!”Shivering from where she stood, Stella cried out, “I'm begging you, Lucas Harrison! Just share the wealth so we can all have what belongs to us.”“Did anyone tell you your name is in Grandpa's Will?”“No way!”“G
