Everyone looked at each other as if they'd lost their tongues.

Heidi's head snapped to him, her lips parting in shock. “You don't mean it, Zach… You can't give up your position…”

“What's the use in clinging onto a job you don't even like?” Zach shrugged. “Stay safe, Heidi. I'm going back.” He patted her on the head like a big brother would do to his little sister. Giving her a harmless smile and a wink, Zach left the conference room.

Everyone returned to their senses.

Harold Olsen was the first to speak. “Zach- Zach! Come back here!” He yelled at the top of his lungs and even went after the guy.

Harold returned seconds later. “He's gone! He's gone! Which route did he take?”

All the board of directors widened their eyes. “How could Zach Olsen give up his position?”

“What the hell is this company turning into?”

“Harold, you claimed it was a set-up against your son, but he just appeared and admitted it's his plan.”

“Zach Olsen letting go of his President title… Is this good news or bad

    “Mr. Harrison, that's crazy, right!?” Amanda fanned herself with a document, pacing back and forth in front of Lucas's desk. Yes. Very crazy.A while ago, Lucas had left the AG Group broken-hearted. He was still wallowing in the hurt when Amanda came and dropped this bomb.Heidi. The AG Group's President? Lucas had a hard time believing what he'd just seen. How was that even possible?“I never knew Mrs. Harrison would be so elevated someday.” Amanda sank on the couch. “Damnit! I'd always looked down on her while she was still your wife. Imagine I once offered her a job to be a cook.”Amanda's case was minor. Lucas had once made her clean his shoes. His heart raced so hard that it scared the wits out of him, as if afraid it would burst out of his chest.Lucas sat down, slowly this time, digesting the news gradually. Heidi. The President. It only meant one thing. She now held the same status as him. “Uhm, Mr. Harrison… Why are you smiling?” Amanda frowned, staring at him as if

    Harold spoke with so much hatred that the dining room shook with his voice. Regina and Caleb looked helpless and wary as well.“Everyone is talking about the new President. Have they gotten Heidi's consent yet?” Regina murmured. “We know Heidi is capable, but…” Caleb looked down, leaving his words hanging.“You see, Dad!” Harold hollered, his tone filled with ridicule. “Even Heidi's parents don't think she is up to the task! For once, they speak something sensible!”“That's not what we mean,” Regina defended. “It is written all over your faces!” Harold laughed. Grandpa Jeffery's cough interrupted the noise. He exhaled deeply. “Harold…”“I'm listening, Dad.” Harold looked at him. “You also think that idea is crazy, right?”Grandpa Jeffery nodded. “It is crazy that your family is the only one not backing up Heidi. When will you finally start regarding all these children as your own?”Harold's expression fell. “The only thing I'm worried about is that Heidi is pregnant. She can't ha

    So the reason why Killian stayed wasn't because he preferred to be here as a live-in Son-in-law or because he had to help save the AG Group.Now everything made sense.Lucas again.“How are you possibly going to save me from Harold Olsen?” Heidi asked.“What better way than to keep an eye on him?” Killian relaxed back on the chair. “At least, I'm closer to him than you are.”Considering he was Lilian's husband.Heidi shook her head helplessly. She'd rather have a bodyguard than to have Killian guarding her. He had responsibilities for goodness sake. He was running a Group as mighty as the MXG Group.She wouldn't put it past that overprotective freak to set such rules, which left her wondering what Killian was going to get out of all this sacrifice.“You don't like the idea…” Killian gave her a casual look. “It is written all over your face.”Heidi nodded. “I grew up receiving hate from my uncle. So far, he's never harmed me physically, isn't Lucas overthinking?”“Maybe not physically

    “Young Miss, are you in there? Please, you need to come out immediately!” Shouted the voice of a maid. Not only did Heidi's forehead pound with pain, but her heart was pounding as well. Exhausted from being deprived of sleep, she dragged her heavy body down from the bed. “What's wrong?” Standing at the door, she covered her mouth and yawned. The maid's eyes darted from her left to right. “G- Good morning, Young Miss. It's your grandfather! He's unwell again!”Grandpa Jeffery. Panicked gripped Heidi's heart. Forgetting to wear even her slippers, she followed the maid down the opposite wing to Grandpa Jeffery's bedroom. Her mother met her on the way. “Where are you rushing to, Heidi?”“Where's Grandpa?” Heidi asked, her eyes darting across her mother's shoulders. The woman groaned. “I need to teach that girl a lesson,” she muttered under her breath. “Why did she wake you up when you're in this condition?”“You haven't answered my question yet, Mum.” Heidi made to walk past her to

    … At The Olsens Mansion. The Next Day.Heidi sat on a chair in the mansion's grass field with Isla sitting beside her.She looked through some documents. “Ms. Olsen, the number of signatures you need to put in a day is too many. To lessen your workload, I suggest we find a new CEO now that you are the Group's President.”“It's no biggie, Isla…” Heidi murmured, busying herself with signing the documents.Isla let out a sigh. “Unfortunately, Natalie Olsen doesn't want to take up the position, do you know why, Ms. Olsen?”Heidi didn't know why. Natalie had been acting weird recently. She didn't want to take part in the company's affairs anymore. “Maybe she's more comfortable in her position as the COO,” she responded to Isla's questions, hoping those words would at least put her mind at ease.“Although most of our allies are back, there's still a lot to do, Ms. Olsen…” Isla added in a pessimistic voice. “I fear some of our clients will look down on you.”Like the clients who doubted

It's none of your business.” Killian smiled and stared at Isla. “What do you say, Sweetie? I'm Lucas Harrison's best friend, do you also think it's none of my business?”“M-Mr. Jonas, please don't include me in this.

    Jason?It had been so long since Heidi heard that name. Urgh! That crazy guy who had been so hellbent on marrying her. “You know the kind of a person he is.”“But I heard someone framed him.” Grandpa stared at her knowingly. “Didn't you spike his drink to stop your engagement?”Heidi had done questionable things to her suitors in the past all because she only desired to be with one man.Now thinking about it, she felt bad for those men. Strangely, she didn't regret any of her actions. “Uhm, Grandpa, it's all in the past now…” Heidi looked down. “And the past should be forgotten…” Grandpa Jeffery backed up her statement. “So you should have a fresh start. His father just sent me a message, Jason will be here by tomorrow evening. We'll have dinner together.”Coming to Grandpa's room was a bad idea. If Heidi knew she was going to be fed this information, she'd rather remain oblivious.“Heidi Olsen, do you have any objections?” Grandpa Jeffery used a tone that dared her to disagree.

    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?
