He'd been conned,Right under his nose.Lucas stood rooted to the spot. He shouldn't be surprised by Mr. Malcom's greediness, what surprised him was Heidi's heartlessness. With the triumphant look she gave him, it meant she was really in the game, ready to contend with him.Even as the yacht arrived and took her away, he couldn't control himself from gawking at her, surprised at how he'd only known so little about her in the past.And each time she revealed a new character, he only found himself falling deeper.His attention fell on the already-soaked and unrecognizable pieces of papers.The mediation certificate was gone. The offer he'd also thought Heidi couldn't resist was gone as well.He could follow inside the yacht, but he must deal with Mr. Malcom first.…“You're so good, Ms. Olsen!” Inside the yacht, Isla couldn't stop praising Heidi. “That was brave and dangerous. Those documents must mean a lot to Lucas Harrison, who knows how many billions he has spent to purchase this I

No one knew when and how the figure appeared or where he appeared from. Like a flash, he reached their sides and sent a hard smack across the guy's face which made him spin for a few seconds before he landed on the ground. Isla and Kate held their breaths,And Heidi wanted to scream out loud, out of both frustration and disbelief. “Lucas Harrison! What are you doing here!?” She yelled. But Lucas wasn't staring at her as his hard glare was fixed on the guy on the ground.He grabbed him up by his collar, forcing him to look into his eyes. “You are a man and you want to fight ladies. How shameless.”The guy trembled under his grip. “L-Lucas Harrison. Aren't you Dad's special guest? What are you doing here?”“Scram!” Lucas tossed him aside and the guy scurried on all limbs, fleeing with his friends.Lucas turned to Heidi, not forgetting to throw a glare in Steve's direction. “Heidi, let's speak.”“Heidi's not gonna come with you. Lucas Harrison, did you stalk Heidi again? Are you here

…Evening came, and he didn't show up. The morning also came and there was not a single sign of him.Was he gone for good? He wouldn't just pop out of nowhere the way he did yesterday, would he?Heidi couldn't shove down the anxiety, dreading the possibility that Lucas Harrison was still lurking on the Island.The inn he'd taken her to yesterday was part of the resort, not very far from the inn where she and Isla stayed.So, naturally, they should bump into each other, at least in the evening when she, Steve, Isla, and Kate decided to camp by a fireplace.Well, he didn't.She should be relieved by the realization that he might already be gone.“Ms. Olsen, please focus.” Isla nudged her, pulling her out of her thoughts, bringing her back to the present.Heidi looked away from the window, shifting her attention to the man sitting across from them. “What did you want to discuss, Mr. Malcolm?”There was uncertainty in his eyes, his gazing darting away, afraid to make eye contact as if har

Outside The Villa…Heidi squatted, holding her abdomen with both hands, throwing up all the contents inside her stomach.“Oh, my God, Ms. Olsen…” Isla sighed, gently patting her back. “Is it the morning sickness? Are you alright? Unfortunately, Mr. Malcolm didn't build a clinic on this Island. Should I give Zach Olsen a call so he can send a helicopter?”Morning sickness?Heidi rarely experienced that.Just now, she'd been extremely mad, beyond herself, and the next thing she knew was this strong sensation building up inside her stomach.Who would ever think that even anger could make one throw up?Pregnancy was so weird, wasn't it?“Here's a bottle of water, Ms. Olsen. I hope it helps you calm down.” Isla shuffled through her bag, retrieving a bottle filled with water.She extended it, but the bottle didn't reach Heidi's hand because it fell onto the ground, accompanied by Isla's shocked gasp.The first thing that appeared in Heidi's vision was a pair of dark leather shoes. Lifting h

“If you truly love Heidi, you wouldn't have treated her like she is worth nothing.” Steve pushed him back, smoothening his collar. “Lucas Harrison, do what you might. Heidi isn't your property, she has the right to choose whoever she prefers to live with.”“Repeat what you just said.” Lucas glowered, his clenched fists shaking.“I said, Heidi is not your property,” Steve enunciated, the intensity of his rage matching that of Lucas Harrison.Seeing two grown men about to get into a fight, Heidi's heart shrank, devastation taking over.“Will you guys please stop!?” She yelled at the top of her lungs.Neither of them listened to her. Like two angry beasts, each man was ready to mark his territory. The usually gentle and kind Steve wasn't so cool at the moment.“Guys, please stop it!”“Mr. Harrison, Mr. Anderson, will you please stop arguing.”Isla and Kate had been having fun watching the drama until it was about to turn gruesome.“Ms. Olsen said you should stop.”“Not until I teach him
