Tracy ran until her feet could carry her no more.She was almost out of LuxVille Residential Area when a car parked in front of her. “Young Miss, get in.”Tracy hurried inside the car, her rapid heartbeat easing down. “I did the job as you said. Why are you like this?”“It's a long story.” Tracy took in a deep breath. “The good thing is that Heidi will never survive.”“Are you sure just drowning her in Zach Olsen's Villa is enough to kill her?” Drake started the car, looking confused.“Oh, it will.” Tracy smiled. “Only I know Heidi's illness. She won't survive this time. And if news gets out that Heidi drowned and died at Zach Olsen's Villa, won't it be like killing two birds with one stone?”But Lucas almost spoilt her plan. His action came out of nowhere.Tracy shouldn't be flabbergasted, but she was.For the past few days, she'd been contemplating Lucas's strange behavior.It turned out her fears were manifesting. But not for long. Heidi would die tonight, and all her troubles w
Not long after Lucas left,Heidi let out a muffled scream, her hand reaching out for the empty air. In her dark vision, water flooded into her nose and mouth, drowning her, its heavy weight pushing her down.Her legs were caught in a sea kelp and she thrashed and struggled fruitlessly.With each moment that passed by, her strength and resolve departed from her. When her head hit a hard stone, Heidi gasped and sat up, her eyes wide and her heart racing so fast as if it would burst out!“Heidi- Heidi, you're awake!” Zach's frightened voice reached her ears.Heidi's palm wandered to her chest, holding it tight to ease down her heartbeat.“Heidi!” Zach called out again. “Please stop acting weird. Thank goodness, you're awake. You don't know how frightened I was, I almost thought you wouldn't wake up.”“What is going on?” Heidi's eyes wandered around. “What am I doing in a hospital?”“Don't you remember?” Zach sat beside her. “You drowned in that stupid swimming pool. Damnit! I'm gonna bu
…The Next Day.In the wee hours of the morning, Lucas walked into the kitchen and met the maid preparing breakfast.“Young Master, you're awake early. It is the weekend, have you forgotten?” Although the Young Master usually woke up early, not this early.Which made the maid wonder if he even slept at night, seeing the huge circles underneath his eyes.Quickly, she rephrased her words, hiding her shock. “Good morning, Young Master.”“Mm.” Lucas leaned on the counter, folding his hands. “What are you making for breakfast?” “Uhm, it's bacon, sandwich, and omelet. The usual, Young Master. Would you prefer something else?”Although finding his behavior strange, Mira was curious to know what was so important that would probe him to enter the kitchen.And his next question made her blink so rapidly, she was lost for words.“While Heidi was here, what did she prefer for breakfast?”“Uhm, Young Master?”“You heard me right, didn't you?”“Ah, yes-yes.” Mira bobbed her head, feeling lost. “Th
“Ha!” Heidi threw her head back and laughed hard. “Of course, she's a saint. The most perfect woman in your eyes. Your dear wallflower wouldn't do something as small as hurting a fly, even.”“I am not here to complain about Tracy to you, Lucas Harrison. I just want you to warn her.” Stepping forward, Heidi jabbed her finger at his chest. “If not, I will get back at her for wanting to end my life. If she repeats any nonsense with me, it will be her biggest regret.”Her anger stunned him. Never had he seen her this furious, ever. What was she even talking about?Lucas wondered how Tracy could have a hand in Heidi's accident. Wasn't she also a victim at Zach Olsen's Villa?Heidi gave him a scornful look. “Cat got your tongue?”She'd been so ready to argue with him and give him a piece of her mind, but Lucas looked as if he'd swallowed glue.Hoping that he had heard her words and would warn that crazy and insecure bitch to stay away from her, Heidi deemed her job here as done.She turned
Heidi's mouth hung open, looking stunned and speechless.Zach, who had just caught himself from falling, almost fell down again.“Let's cancel the divorce, Heidi,” Lucas repeated. “I want you to come back.”Lucas had been acting weird ever since she went to his Villa and now.Believing that he must be sick, Heidi didn't want to believe her ears. “I'm not joking.” Lucas gave her a serious look, understanding her shock. “Heidi, I want you to come back.”He'd long realized that he couldn't live freely nor have peace of mind without Heidi around.Ever since he proposed the divorce, things had just been going wrong after the other. Only Heidi could fill up the empty void in his heart. She took care of him wholeheartedly.Lucas didn't realize what he had until he'd lost them all.Heidi finally recovered from her shock, hearing him repeat the words again and again.Then she threw her head back and laughed, her eyes tearing up. “You want me back?” She exclaimed. “Where do you want to keep m
…On every news channel in Phoenix City, only one news was airing. The largest silk-producing company, which had been the backbone of the AG Group ever since its downfall began, was suddenly canceling its collaboration.What else?The same silk company was now under the name GK Group.“What now? What now? We are doomed! AG Group is in big trouble!”Harold Olsen walked up and down, yelling out curses and sputtering incoherent words.Inside the Olsens Mansion was like a battleground.Every member of the family was on their feet, including Grandpa Jeffery whose furious look could make mountains crumble.“GK Group- GK Group! It is that boy again!” He stomped his cane onto the floor.“Father, we have no one to blame but Heidi!” Harold thundered. “Everyone knows she's bad luck. It hasn't been long since she returned, and things are only getting worse.”“Why do you love blaming Heidi, Harold?”“Can't you see it for yourself? Heidi will destroy us all. She will destroy the AG Group without e
“If she isn't a kid, why does she keep acting like one? One moment, she says she's over that heartless boy, and the next moment she causes a scandal with him. Do you know that Heidi was in Zach's Villa with him and his mistress last night? Don't you know that she ended up in the hospital again?”A big frown formed on Caleb's face and Heidi gasped at her mother's revelation.“Don't look so shocked.” Regina glowered. “From the moment Zach called and asked for your whereabouts, I knew something was wrong. I had the surveillance footage of LuxVille Residential Area checked; One of the doctors who attended to you is also a good friend of mine.”“You can't blame me, Mum. Wasn't I a victim?”Hearing her mother's explanation, Heidi knew that the reason why her mother didn't reveal it in front of Grandpa Jeffery was because of Zach getting into trouble.“You're not the victim, the AG Group is. Whenever you get involved with Lucas Harrison, who always takes the blow?”“It is the AG Group,” Cale
“Grandpa, you already know?” Heidi didn't mask her surprise. “Why not? It is all over the news, Dear.” Heidi sighed inside. 'Seems it's going to be easy to convince Grandpa Winston to stop Lucas Harrison from endangering the AG Group.' “Actually, it's the reason why I'm here, Grandpa.” Heidi held his hand and sat him down on the couch, sitting beside him. “About the AG Group and GK Group, the war that is going on is inhumane, don't you think so?” “You're right.” Grandpa Winston frowned. “I didn't teach Lucas Harrison to bully others. He might be fighting that boy from the AG Group because of you, but he shouldn't take things too far.” “Absolutely.” Heidi nodded. “That's why I'm here to report him to you, Grandpa-” Heidi didn't get to complete her words because someone suddenly joined them in the living room. The wide doors opened and steady footsteps stepped in slowly. The footsteps receded behind her, and his commanding presence made her hair stand on end. Without needing to
