last update Last Updated: 2024-06-07 13:34:48

Heidi didn't know for how long she'd been drowning in the depths of unconsciousness.

The last thing she recalled was the blaring sounds of the police sirens followed by the crashing sound as the truck had a collision with the tree.

Her limbs were numb, and her body felt as if she'd been loaded with rocks.

Where was she?

Forcing her eyelids open, she peered around her surroundings. In her blurred vision, everything was white.

And as her vision gradually cleared up, she could see some figures moving around, hovering over her.

Heidi blacked out again as something pricked at and stung her arm.

This time, she wasn't fully unconscious. She could make out indistinct noises coupled with the clinking of metals.

“She's awake…” Someone whispered.

“Is she?” Gasped another person, the voice of a man.

The pain weighing her down was no longer there. Heidi's hand wandered to her bump to feel her baby…the pain in her stomach was also gone.

And why did her stomach feel flat?

The realization hi

    Forgetting the pain in her stomach, Heidi sat up on the bed, shaking her head rapidly. “Can you please relax?” The Nurse sat beside her and held her shoulders. “We did all we could to save you both, but…” she sniffled. “This is our first time handling such a case. You were already in labor and you got into an accident.”“We thought you were never going to wake up,” said the Doctor. “After all, it has been three days.”Three days?Heidi's heartbeat stopped. Everything around her stilled. Time stopped with her thoughts, for a few seconds she felt nothing. “Are you alright?” The Nurse tapped her. “Can you hear me, Young Lady?”“I guess she's shocked,” the Doctor said in a sullen voice. “Poor Lady, we don't even know who her family is.”When Heidi's heartbeat woke up, it was as if everything around her was crashing down. She jerked back to her senses. “Please, this is a joke…” She clasped the nurse's hands. “You guys are joking. N- Nothing happened- nothing happened to my baby.”“Acce

    By the time the reporter finished talking, Heidi was already sitting down. Not only was Tracy shown in a footage cuddling a tiny baby in her arms on a hospital bed, but even Lucas was there. Inside the huge hospital ward, two paparazzi were interviewing them. “First of all, congratulations, Mr. Harrison, and thank you for inviting us here to witness the arrival of your baby. There's no doubt that Tracy Carlson has just given you the most precious gift in the world. How do you feel?”Lucas stared blankly at the screen, his eyes vacant of any emotion. “By the way, we heard a DNA test was run for the child. Did you, perhaps, have any doubts that Ms. Carlson's baby isn't yours.”“Oh… you guys ask too many questions.” Tracy smiled weakly. “Just because Lucas invited you doesn't give you the freedom to disturb our baby.”“My apologies, Ms. Carlson.” One paparazzi chuckled. “Or should I say Mrs. Harrison?”Tracy lowered her head, smiling bashfully. “Oh, I never thought about that.

    Worrying to death?What did she mean? Heidi was resting on the bed and her mother was hugging her, resting over her. That was strange…She lifted her hand which felt as heavy as a rock, reaching out for her baby's bump. Heidi's heart sank. When she wanted to lift the other hand, something tugged at it, and a sharp pain pricked through her arm. “Hey, be careful!” Zach shot forward and held her hand gently, settling it down beside her on the bed. “Damnit! Heidi, you aren't about to remove the needle again, are you?”“Is she?” Her mother pulled away, looking alarmed. Her eyes dampened with tears, she cupped Heidi's cheeks in her palm, sobbing. “Come on, Heidi… Do you want your hand to become disabled? Stop removing the needles already, okay?”What needles was Heidi removing?She couldn't even catch a glimpse of that arm because her mother's figure was blocking her. Reading everyone's expression in the room, Heidi had an inkling something was wrong.It was as if she was back in the s

    ~“What's the progress?” From a distance, her father's voice sounded. “This is the third time, and yet nothing has happened.”“When will she finally be able to return to her senses, Doc?” Her mother lamented, her tone weak and helpless. “Don't tell us she's truly going crazy.”Heidi's eyelids fluttered… she forced them open, freeing her vision from the darkness. Like a feather, her body seemed to be floating. Her chest felt empty as well, and she was extremely parched. “She won't go crazy, don't worry…” The Doctor's voice sounded too. “If she is bound to, I wouldn't hide it from you guys.”Her mother sniffed. “But nothing is working…”“Of course, it's working. When she wakes up, you'll see the difference.”As the voices conversed, Heidi gazed at her surroundings. The scene didn't change, only that, only her Mum and Dad were inside the room with her.The others were gone.She made to sit up… and surprisingly, she could do it on her own.Her arm stung a little, but there was no need

    That her baby was gone?A lump formed in Heidi's throat. She gulped it down. Shaking her head, she replied, “I can't interpret what exactly happened to me, Mum… But-”She paused, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. “I already know what happened. You don't have to say it.”Maybe she couldn't bear hearing it from another person. Wasn't the important thing accepting the truth?As long as she came to terms with it that her baby was gone, she needed to not hear another person saying it, lest it added more wounds to the scars in her heart. “Where's Lucas?” It was too late. Heidi couldn't take back her question.Yet, a part of her mind longed for something non-existent. It was never gonna happen. Her mother looked up, her red eyes dimming. “You mean Lucas Harrison? That heartless man has been coming here every day morning and night! He insists on seeing you.”Lucas came? Heidi shut her eyes to hold back the tears that had already made their way down her cheeks.Why did he come?

    When the maid announced that Lucas was here, everyone sitting down got to their feet except Heidi who couldn't wrap her fingers around what was going on.The family's adverse reaction had her wondering why they looked so alarmed. “Shit! Grandpa, I told you to let me beat him up last time. He wouldn't have had the guts to come back!” Zach rolled up his sleeves, his eyes glinting with a murderous instinct. “He's here! Again!” Regina groaned. “Dad, are you sure we'll not have to move Heidi from this place?”“Where else does she deserve to live apart from her family's home?” Grandpa Jeffery replied. “Little Girl, tell the security men to not let him inside.”The maid scratched her head, her whole body trembling. “But he's already inside. They forced the gates open-”“What!?” Lilian shouted. “Guys, is he gonna destroy our home just because no one wants him to see Heidi?”“Not when I'm here! Grandpa, no one can stop me from shooting him down this time!” Zach stormed out of the room.Every

    Heidi began having second thoughts after hearing Lucas's words downstairs. Maybe she shouldn't have left her room. Not only would seeing him open up her wounds, but It'd also endanger her family who wouldn't let him take her with him without a fight. Heidi's contemplation came too late, though. As if sensing her presence, he looked up and their eyes met.The panic in his eyes mirrored that of her heart, and then dread washed over her. Trembling, Heidi turned to run back to her room, but her weak knees failed her. She staggered and lost her footing, falling down the stairs.The screams and yells deafened Heidi's ears. Her hands slipped off the railings, and her body became so light she wouldn't be surprised if she fainted again.Her once clear vision clouded with darkness, but when she fell, she landed on something hard. Not the floor but an arm that caught her. The all-so-familiar scent invaded her senses. For a few seconds, Heidi trembled in his arms, shutting her eyes to cur

    Screams broke out, louder than ever. The women and the servants; everyone went frantic. And no one dared to step close as the bodyguards instantly surrounded them. “I asked you to repeat yourself!” Lucas growled.Zach gripped the hand he used to strangle him, shoving it away. “After what you've done to Heidi, do you think I'll care about ending your life today? Shooting each other will only save us both a lifetime sentence!”“That's crazy! Stay away from him, Zach!!!” Harold commanded.“Lucas Harrison, do you now threaten the life of my family!?” With the Butler's help, Grandpa Jeffery sat on his chair, holding his chest. Lucas gripped the gun, cocking it in the process. “Anyone that says my child died deserves death!”“Well, that's the truth!”“I won't believe it!”Grandpa Jeffery got to his feet. He snatched the gun from Lucas, tossing it across the floor. “Bloodshed will not happen in my home! Believe it or not, Heidi's child is dead and you have no more connection!”Lucas shook

    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?
