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

Lucas snorted. He'd had to hand it to her. “She's under tight security. You think I'll buy this lie?”“If you won't believe me, I have evidence! A voice recording from those kidnappers. I think you should fire her Nanny, Lucas,” Tracy begged. “I'm tired of having our daughter's life fall into danger again and again.”She ended the call and sent him a voice recording. After listening to it, his heart neither trembled in panic nor fear. Lucas resumed driving his car at an even slower pace. An hour later, he parked the car inside the mansion. There were only a handful of people who could come in and out of his Villa without alerting his bodyguards. “Where are they?” As soon as he stepped out of his car, a female servant hurried up to him. She lowered her voice and answered his question. “Mr. Harrison, she's inside with her Nanny. I made sure all the foods the servants served to them were supervised.”Lucas walked past her, heading into the building. His heart melted when he saw

As his palm swept over her hair gently, Lucas paused upon hearing her question. How could she ever be Tracy's daughter when the older she got, the more Heidi's features became prominent in hers? Genetics never lied. Her eyes, toes, fingers, all the subtle details… he'd believe he was imagining things, if he'd never seen Heidi’s photo when she was young. “Daddy…” she blinked at him, her milky eyes reminding him of her. “You don't like Mommy near us… who's my real Mommy?”In a light tone, her soft voice was but a whisper echoing in the night. The words were heavy on his chest, even heavier when he'd loved to expel them. “She left us… a long time ago.” He managed to breathe out, letting open a fresh wound in his heart. Her innocent eyes widened a bit. Driven by curiosity, she loosened up and sat on her knees, grasping his arm. “Nanny wasn't wrong… I have another Mommy.” Her eyes sparkled,And then, her smile washed away, giving way to a gloom that made her tiny brows wrinkle. “Where

…At Mystic Island. The gentle breeze of the wind brushed past her hair, a soothing caress to her skin. Yet, the turmoil inside her heart was palpable, evident in her eyes and actions. As the sun rose up and slid down the horizon, she sat on the same spot, hugging her knees and facing the ocean. The sand behind her shuttled, measured footsteps approaching. “Hey, what's up.” Sitting beside her, Freya nudged her slightly. “I wonder how long you'll put up with this habit, Heidi.”Forever? Heidi wasn't sure. For as long as time passed by, the more her heart longed for what she'd desperately run away from, seeking solace in this non-existent life.“Sigh!” Freya rested on the sand, facing the sky. “I have this feeling that we're gonna get caught someday, Heidi… for how long are you gonna keep hiding?”For as long as she survived on this Island?Heidi rested beside her, her eyes fixed on the stars forming a constellation of a familiar face. “It's more peaceful here…” she breathed out.

“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
