Lahat ng Kabanata ng Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife : Kabanata 241 - Kabanata 250

…Heidi woke up the next morning to see another missed call from an unsaved number. Knowing who might be calling her, she groaned and sat on the bed, rubbing her eyes and yawning like a starving beast.A soft knock came from the door, and a maid's voice sounded. “Young Miss, are you awake? The whole family is downstairs for breakfast. The Old Master ordered me to wake you up.”“Can you please tell them I'm jet-lagged and still sleeping?”“But, Young Miss-”“Just tell Grandpa, he'll understand. Tell them to eat without me.”Using that as an excuse should convince Grandpa Jeffery.Heidi wasn't ready for another argument about Steve Anderson or Lucas Harrison, or her damn wedding. She rested on the bed, spreading her arms wide, staring at the ceiling. Then she touched her stomach and blew out an exasperated air.No way! There were already signs of her baby bump appearing.How would she be able to-Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. Heidi grabbed it lazily, gazing at the displ

Plates and utensils shattered on the floor as the servants halted what they were doing. Everyone else sitting across the dining table sprang to their feet, including Grandpa Jeffery who was more agile than the rest. The most shocked of all was Heidi. She was the most devastated, and the most confused. “Steve-”“Pregnant- Pregnant!?” Grandpa Jeffery held on tight to his cane as he almost lost his footing. “Who? When? How?- Who the hell did you say is pregnant!?”Heidi's thoughts went haywire…No. Steve didn't just reveal the news about her pregnancy.It was a nightmare- she hadn't woken up yet.“Aha! I knew it!” Her mother's grip on her arms was what brought her back to her senses. “Heidi, did you think you could fool me? I always had this feeling you are pregnant.”“P-Pregnant!?” Grandpa Jeffery said absentmindedly. Then he held the side of his chest and broke into a fit of cough.One of the servants quickly poured him a cup of water. Then they all dispersed.“No way, Heidi!” Lili

“Money?” Tracy was taken aback, she stared at him, flabbergasted. “What money are you talking about, Honey?”Lucas's glare intensified. “If it wasn't you who took the money, who else would?”She averted her gaze from his, staring at the ground instead. Her shoulders trembled and she sobbed, holding the tiny bump in her stomach, a pitiful gesture that melted the man's heart. “Ever since you declared that you no longer love me, your actions towards me get worse every day.” She stared at him. “Lucas Harrison, has falling pregnant for you become a sin?”“I only asked a simple question.” Lucas kept a straight face. “What did you do with that amount of money?”“I don't know- I don't know who took it. Didn't you investigate the maid and the security man? I left them both in the Villa.”“Mira said you fired her.”Tracy frowned. “That filthy girl! Why would I do that? You see why you shouldn't believe her? She's lying on me-”“Enough!” Lucas sighed and entered the house as droplets of rain f

…Grandpa Winston was sulking in the living room, questioning the Butler. “Tell me this is a dream. Heidi is pulling a prank on everyone.”Butler Luke shook his head. “Some things are beyond our control, Master. Maybe the Young Master and Madam aren't meant for each other.”“I worked hard, didn't I?” Grandpa Winston lamented. “I thought Lucas Harrison was serious as well.”“No matter how hard the Young Master tries, if she doesn't love him anymore, what can we do?”Heidi cleared her throat from the doorway, grabbing their attention.“Heidi, you've come!” Grandpa Winston's eyes lit up, then they dimmed and he sighed. “Forget it. What's the use in getting excited?”“Grandpa, come on…” Heidi sat beside him and held his hands. “Will you not be sad?”“Who told you I'm sad?” Grandpa Winston's lips cracked into a broken smile. “Didn't I pray that you find a better man? See, my prayer has been answered.”“Now you're making me sad, Grandpa.” Heidi sniffed her tears. “I'm sorry, okay? I didn't

…Heidi remained mute while on the ride back to the Olsens Mansion.Steve didn't say a word either, humming a tune as if he could care less about the turmoil he was causing.Heidi decided to break the silence. “Is this your true color?”“What do you mean?”“You never loved me, did you?” Glancing away from the window, she stared at him. “Steve, your professed love was a lie as well as your promises. If you loved me, you wouldn't attempt to hurt me.”“You've guessed right,” Steve chuckled. “I was never after your love, Heidi. But believe me, I'm serious about our wedding.”“Why?”“You'll know why,” he replied. “Now enough talking. You wouldn't want to worsen this evening.”He was never after her love.Now everything made sense to Heidi. If Steve truly loved her, he wouldn't have been so cool about Lucas kissing her in his presence. Why, though?“Why the deadly battle with Lucas when you don't even love me?”“You aren't gonna stop asking questions, are you?” Steve glanced at her. “That
