At Phoenix City's First Hospital.

Waking up on the hospital bed was the last thing Heidi expected. Things happened so fast that she couldn't believe it happened.

How did she end up fainting?

She'd prepared the speech and everything was perfect,

But then, her emotions overpowered her… Even so, she shouldn't have fainted.

“Oh my gosh! Thank goodness you're finally up,” her mother's voice exclaimed in the background.

“How do you feel now, Heidi?” Came her father's voice. She could feel him holding her hand.

Glancing sideways at the couple, Heidi's eyes accessed the other corners of the ward without knowing what exactly she was looking for.

“Mum, Dad…” She sat up with the help of her parents. “The funeral… where's Grandpa?”

“The funeral has long ended…” Regina replied. “See, the sun has gone down.” She walked to the window and pulled the curtains apart.

The funeral had ended.

No way…

Heidi's heart dropped to her stomach. Her hand wandered to her chest, feeling the slight ache in it

    The same look of confusion on her parents' faces as they left the ward was cascaded over Lucas's face as well.Thank goodness they didn't refuse her request or ask her questions because Heidi couldn't provide any answers. She didn't know what she was doing. “What's it that you want to speak about, Heidi…” Lucas sat beside her, his confusion replaced by the joy that glinted in his eyes. “I'm listening.”Heidi looked down, searching inside her heart for the anger and hate she'd been feeling for the past few days. Why was it that she couldn't feel any of them?What was with the slight feeling of remorse and heartache?She dared to stare into his eyes and she regretted it instantly. Heidi averted her gaze from his once more. “Time is running…” Lucas urged her on. “One minute will be up soon.”And once the minute was over, her parents might come barging in to send him out. “Did you give the speech?”Lucas nodded, his eyes filled with regret. “I shouldn't have asked you to do it. I'm so

    Regina rolled her eyes and Caleb clicked his tongue.“Shouldn’t you thank us instead?” “We know what's going on, Heidi…”“Besides, isn't this the best way to save our heads from the media?”Heidi understood none of their words, especially the last one. “The media? What do you mean by the media?”“We just found out that every news channel in Phoenix City is speaking about you two.” Bringing out his phone, her father waved the screen in front of her. “And the netizens are shipping you two together.”Did Lucas bribe the netizens?Heidi took the phone from her father's hands and scrolled down the comment section under the post a gossip media uploaded with pictures of her and Lucas at the funeral.Every moment and every tiny affectionate gesture by him was captured.Who were they kidding? Lucas must have tipped off the paparazzi to do that. “Besides, Jason is a bastard,’’ her mother groaned. “I can't believe your grandfather agreed to matchmaking you guys.”“By the way, didn't you just

    A deafening silence descended upon the living room instantly, everyone quieted down at once, a look of shock and horror registered on their faces. Heidi's eyes snapped to the guy, and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, her heart sank.“Son-in-law, what did you just say?” Beatrice snapped out of the shock faster than the others. She chuckled, her smile a mix of nervousness and uncertainty. “You don't mean it…”Killian let out a frustrated air. “I mean what I said, okay? I'm not doing this marriage anymore.”Blood drained from Lilian's face as well as the other family members. “Honey-”“That's enough…” Killian raised his hand, halting her words. “People marry to find happiness, right? I can't set myself up for hell when it's not even my time yet.”“You're joking.”“Call it what you may…” Killian shrugged. “But Lilian, this is the end of our marriage.”Hearing his last words broke Heidi out of her reverie. She glanced at her parents who looked shocked also. Harold frowned deeply. “Are

    Heidi saw no reason in denying it. She nodded to her father's question and explained how it happened. “While I was in Lucas's home, I saw the news that Grandpa was hospitalized. When I visited, I overheard the conversation…” She paused, staring at her parents, her mood dampening and guilt engulfing her heart. “I thought it was the best way to save the family's reputation.”Lucas had been against it that night. He thought it was a crazy idea, but she hadn't listened. “And you made that poor man suffer in the hands of Lilian?” Caleb reprimanded. “The idea of love and marriage isn't supposed to be taken lightly, Heidi. Do you think it will be pleasing to your grandfather once he hears about this?”Now that Killian had exposed the secret, everyone would definitely hear about it. The last person she wanted to know of the news was her grandfather. “Mum, Dad, I'm sorry… Can you guys please not tell him?” “We're not gonna tell him, but others might…” Regina sat down. “If Harold's famil

    “That's a horrible thing to say! Who says my marriage has ended? Killian just went out, he will return!” She cried. “Won't you pity my condition instead of rubbing it on my face?”Grandpa Jeffery shook his head. “I shouldn't have allowed Harold to raise you. See what he has made you, aren't you guilty of bringing shame to this family?”Lilian sat down, wiping her tears. “Whatever… you'll take back your words, Grandpa, once Killian returns and apologizes to me.”Heidi picked up her food tray and left for the stairs instead of the large doors. Jason was about to follow her and she paused. “This is bad timing. It's never gonna work.”“It has been many years, Heidi. You spoke the same words…” He held his forehead. “Don't tell me you're still obsessed with that man.”“I only want friendship from you.”“Our friendship ended right from the time our parents spoke about our marriage…” He leaned against the stair's railings. “Now I have a second chance-”“Not really.” Heidi shook her head. “Bu

    The title “Resignation Letter” was boldly written at the top of the document.Apprehension filling up the space of her chest, Heidi lingered by the doorway, hesitating to go near the desk. She called out to one of the secretaries who hurried up to her hastily.“Good morning, Ms. Olsen. Can I help you with anything?”“Has Isla come to the company today?”Probably, Isla left for some emergency. Her assistant had never been this late to work,And that resignation letter must be from one of the secretaries who resided in the president's area. The secretary sighed upon hearing Heidi's question. “You mean Ms. Kendall? She came and dropped a message then left.” While speaking, she picked up the document. “Ms. Kendall told me that in case you don't see it, I should give it to you.”The document Heidi detested to look at was being extended towards her. Her fingers shaking slightly, she took it and stared at it; and her heart sank at that moment, because her fear was real. Isla was resigning

    Isla rose to her feet. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking from Heidi to Killian. “W-What are you here, Mr. Jonas?”“You know the answer…” Killian came forward. “I'm here to see you.”Covering her face, Isla cried helplessly. “Won't you leave me alone until the scandal escalates and tarnishes your image?”“What scandal?” Killian took her hands, moving them away from her face. “Believe me, that gossip won't spend the next minute on the media. I've ordered for it to be taken down.”“Is that supposed to make me happy?” Isla shook her head. “I've caused you your marriage; I can't live with this shame.”Killian pulled her into a hug. “Blaming yourself for everything is bad for your mental health. Why don't you put all your worries to sleep? I'm here for you.”Heidi wasn't able to calm Isla down, but Killian was able to.The couple hugged passionately, with Isla sobbing in his arms while Killian reassured her with words that came right from his heart.The sight was heart-warming, shakin

    Lucas cupped her cheeks gently in his palms, using his thumbs to wipe her tears. “Killian told me what happened.”“I'm the most horrible person.” Heidi sobbed. “What if I hadn't asked you to convince Killian to marry one of my cousins?”“So what if you did?” Lucas murmured, his tone dripping with sadness. “I was the only one who could fulfill your wish at that time.”“My wish was a selfish one…” Heidi looked down. “If only I knew that Killian and Isla were together.” She sighed. “What if I knew things would turn out like this?”“What if fate had it that things would turn out this way?” Lucas answered. “Stop blaming yourself, Heidi.”He hugged her again. “Things were bound to happen this way.”For several minutes, Heidi remained in his embrace, reveling in the warmth and comfort it brought to her heart.It took a while before she came to terms with this monumental mistake. Finally, she shifted. Lucas looked relieved to find out she'd stopped crying.“You'll find a better assistant, H

    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?
