The slap stunned him. It stunned the Driver, and Steve as well.“What! the-” the Driver swallowed any word he wanted to say and he tripped on his feet, quickly catching himself from toppling over.“Heidi…” Lucas touched his cheek, the redness spreading on his fair skin.“You evil and heartless scumbag! Won't you leave me alone for crying out loud!? Lucas Harrison, tell me, did I do anything wrong that you're keen on getting vengeance by constantly humiliating me!?” She yelled, her emotions soaring.“Damnit, Lucas! You're so shameless, I don't believe you're a normal human.”Maybe he was a psychopath, and Heidi had been the masochist who'd endured hardship in his grips for three years.Dreading to stare at his face any longer, lest her emotions explode, she got inside the car.Steve followed her, speechless, and he drove them off.The car raced away, leaving mountains of smoke behind.Covering his mouth, the Driver coughed rapidly. “A- Aha! M-Mr. Harrison, can we go home.”Lucas's stor

“Won't you guys just be quiet for once?” Heidi gave them an irritated look, her frustration rising. “Mind your own business.”“Hey, it's a matter which concerns your marriage. As the second Young Master of this family, I have the right to give my consent too.” Aiden gave her a harmless look, suddenly acting like a supportive family member. “So you have my blessings, Heidi. Steve Anderson is free to have you.”“Mr. Anderson, don't worry about the bride price,” Lilian said. “In actual sense, we are grateful that you want to marry Heidi. Not every fresh bachelor develops an interest in divorced women.”“Lilian, Aiden- won't you brats remain quiet? Can't you see we have a guest?”“Grandpa, we didn't pick any fight.”“We are just trying to support our dear cousin, Heidi. We're celebrating her success at snagging another rich man.”“Harold Olsen, warn your children to behave themselves.”But Harold didn't listen to Grandpa Jeffery's words, directing his glare at Heidi,The glare which never

…At The GK Group.Sitting inside the conference room, Lucas's mind and thoughts were far away from the objections coming from the board of directors and the managers.Their words were nothing but distant noises in his ears as he leaned against the swivel chair, rubbing his temples, his eyes closed, and his attention on something else. Not the situation they deemed would potentially damage the Group.“Mr. Harrison, we can't let them go. Can't you see that all those businesses you are canceling collaborations with are going back to the AG Group?”“Some months ago, you declared the AG Group as an enemy. Why would you let our allies go back to them?”“Mr. Harrison, we must take action. Otherwise, if the AG Group rises back on its feet, it will be a tough battle for the GK Group.”It had been more than a month already? Time sure flew fast.Just a few months ago, Heidi had been living in his home- his wife.A few months ago, he hadn't committed the biggest mistake of his life.If only tim

His first and only heir.Lucas considered those words as he drove out of the hospital.Probably not his only heir, but Tracy's child was his first heir, right?Sitting in the passenger's seat, Tracy appeared gloomy, anxiously fiddling with her fingers.She sniffed back her tears constantly, filling his car with her tiny sobs.“What's the point of crying? It's not like the bad thing has already occurred.”“But it is bound to happen if you keep treating me this way. Honey, won't you look at my condition and start treating me nicely?”Lucas wasn't the type to suppress his emotions, pretending to feel the opposite of what was actually in his mind.Could he pretend to adore her when he no longer wanted to?Heidi had occupied the vast space in his heart, was it his fault?“You are quiet,” Tracy whispered, seemingly offended. “Why don't you say anything? Will you promise to protect my feelings or risk losing your baby?”The baby was innocent.Lucas would be sinning if he repeated anything th

Stella's warning made Tracy's heart drop. Grabbing her hand, she begged. “Please don't do that. I trust you, Stella. We are best friends and we know each other's secrets.”“If you want us to remain friends, abort this baby. No other baby will be born into this family apart from mine. We will soon get rid of Lucas, why will you give him an heir?”“You're right.” Tracy agreed. “But Lucas forced me to live with him, he's keeping a close watch on me. If I make any attempt to abort the baby now-”“Don't worry about that.” Stella stood up. “Wait for me, I'll be back in a minute.”Then she hurried upstairs and came down later holding a small bottle.The bottle contained pills and she dropped it in Tracy's hand. “Your pregnancy is still at its early stage, this is the best time to take the baby out without worrying about any side effects. It might hurt a little, but once it does its job, the pain will go away. Use it carefully without overdosing yourself. Lucas Harrison will not notice anythi
