331. The Complexities Were Odd

Heidi and Lucas came to an abrupt stop. They exchanged glances. Luckily, the couple was making out, so they quietly walked past them without them noticing.Standing inside the elevator, Heidi fanned herself with both hands. “I couldn't feel the beating of my heart a moment there. That was close.”Lucas circled his arm around her protectively. His eyes reflected the expression on her face. “Bringing you out here was a bad idea.”No. It wasn't really.But Heidi couldn't find a stand to refute his words. Every time they came out, they always bumped into someone they knew. First was the cemetery and now the cinema.Maybe he was right. But Zach and Kate.The thought of the couple consumed her mind so much that she ignored Lucas's strange behavior.He made the bodyguards take her home, while he took a separate car out of the cinema.For the rest of the afternoon, Heidi sat in the living room, half-reclining on the couch with a hand supporting one of her cheeks. Lucas had to be wrong.

332. Uniting Through Marriage

Heidi listened to Kate ranting for ten minutes straight without interrupting. She complained about how even her family worried about her. She spoke nonstop about how everyone was literally mad at her. The employees at StriveStyle Co. complained she stopped visiting. Zach spoke about her all the time. Zach told her that Grandpa Jeffery was growing wary of Steve because of her, and Zach vowed to beat up her brother whenever he set eyes on him.In every statement she spoke, there was always Zach's name.Hearing Kate repeating Zach's name over and over again gave Heidi the idea that the two must have grown close in her absence. The apprehension in her heart doubled, and she rubbed her forehead, feeling her head burning. Impossible.Zach was never serious about any woman. And Kate had a different taste for men.“Uhm, Kate. I'm sorry for everything. I got a new phone.”Heidi felt guilty about lying, but the truth would hurt even more. And she hoped Kate would relay the same message to he

333. His Only Goal

The remote slipped from Heidi's hand. Shock and disbelief consuming her whole, she remained rooted on the chair, her eyes glued to the TV. Lilian and Killian? What the heck?“Madam, dinner is ready…” Mira came out a while later to find Heidi spacing out. She waved a hand in front of her. “Madam…”Heidi broke out of her reverie. She shuddered. Killian agreed? How was that even possible? How did Grandpa Jeffery… Grabbing her phone, Heidi surfed through the internet forum, searching for her family's name.The latest news headlines popped up. Killian's wedding with Lilian.What was posted on the channel was different from her expectations though. It read, ‘Killian went to the Olsens Household and proposed by himself.’No way.That was impossible. Was it one of those weird coincidences or was Killian aware that her family was about to make a move?Due to that, the netizens' comments were on the positive side. “President of the MXG Group and the Young Heiress from the Olsens Household

334. Left Again

The genuine words he spoke and the smile in his eyes were enough to convince Heidi that Lucas wasn't bluffing. She averted her gaze, breaking eye contact. As long as she was happy. Would he do anything for her happiness? Heidi stood up, heading to the stairs. “You haven't finished your food yet,” Lucas called out. Heidi stopped and shook her head. “I'm full.”She resumed walking at a faster pace. When she got to the bedroom, she leaned her back against the door, her heart thumping with an unsteady rhythm. She sat on the bed, drowning in the pool of her thoughts.No doubt, Lucas followed her to the bedroom.He leaned by the door frame, cautious not to enter, fearing to tick her off. “What's wrong? Are you angry?”She wasn't angry, sad or confused. Heidi couldn't point fingers at what she was even feeling which was strange.Lucas hesitated by the door before he entered the room and sat beside her. “Heidi, are you alright? Speak to me…”Heidi thought about that strange letter. She

335. Arrested

…At GreyHills City. Lounging on a recliner chair across the swimming pool, Steve had a tablet in his hands, scrolling through the news channel. Freya sat on the chair beside him, pouring him a glass of juice. A chuckle suddenly tore from his throat. “What a bunch of fools,” he murmured sarcastically. “Do they think the MXG Group will save them from my wrath?”Freya dropped the juice bottle. “The MXG Group?”“Look what your family is up to.” Steve waved the tablet's screen in her face. “They want a marriage alliance with Killian Jonas. They're too dumb to realize that it won't change anything.”Faking an astonished look, Freya dropped the glass and it shattered on the ground. “M-Marriage?”Steve frowned. “What's wrong with you?”She sighed. “Nothing.”He narrowed his eyes. “Are you concerned about the wedding or the AG Group's fate?”“None.” She shook her head, putting on an impassive look. “I'm concerned about neither. Steve Anderson, remember the AG Group is our enemy.”“What a s

337. She's Getting Suspicious

…Lucas sat in the backseat of his car, staring out of the car's window, pinching the space between his brows with his fingers. “To the Police Department,” he ordered the Driver.From the front seat, the Driver peeked at him through the rearview mirror. He cleared his throat. “M-Mr. Harrison, I thought we were heading to the Villa.”“No questions,” Lucas murmured. The Driver quietened down. Instead of taking the Villa's direction, he took a different route.Lucas's phone rang. Seeing his father's name flashing on the screen, his expression darkened. “What is it?” He answered the phone. Blake Harrison sounded mad. “Lucas Harrison, won't you carry out my request and come to the Mansion? You know we can't ignore this matter! Let's make a decision as to how we'll share the assets.”“Why are you so eager? Grandpa is still alive.”Blake grunted. “So what? The family needs a new patriarch. I will move into his quarters.”“Don't even dare.” Lucas hung up the phone. He tossed it across t

338. Time To Leave

Lucas panicked.Lost at what to do at first, he tried to wake her up. Then he thought she might just be having a nightmare until she started calling out for help in a barely audible tone.The skin of her face paled. She grasped his hand, her eyes shut, her expression a mix of pain and fear. “Heidi…” Lucas shook her gently, struggling to control his heartbeat. “Can you hear me?”She called out for help again, murmuring his name in-between. Lucas stood up and grabbed his phone, his anxiety taking over. He dialed Dr. Shawn's number. “Can you come to the Villa right now?”“Mr. Harrison, is anything wrong? Is Heidi alright?”“I don't think so. She's having a nightmare and refuses to wake up. It can affect the baby, right?”“Is she running a fever?” Dr. Shawn asked, his tone anxious.Lucas touched her forehead. Her temperature was getting high. “I think she is.”“Then it's a bad news. I'm in the hospital, Mr. Harrison. How about you bring her? We might be able to attend to her properly.”

339. Stay Forever

Gloom cascaded his features. Holding her hands, he squeezed them gently, the longing in his eyes telling her there was no way she was getting her wish easily. “This is the last time, Heidi. I promise I won't leave again.”Heidi didn't ask for his promise. He might have sensed the reason why she so desperately wanted to leave. “You told me once the investigation is over, you'll let me go.”“I also asked you to stay with me…” He whispered. “Didn't I, Heidi.”Heidi shifted on the bed uncomfortably, breaking her gaze from his eyes. How was she going to stay when sooner or later her family would find out the truth?“Beside…” He went on. “Steve hasn't been fully apprehended. His allies are still roaming freely…”His words were true. But wasn't Steve the mastermind?“Evidence hasn't come out yet that he has a hand in the AG Group's scandals,” Lucas added. “So we have to be patient, Heidi. I'm entitled to protect both you and our baby…” His gaze fell on her baby bump. Lifting his hand, he

The idea turned out to be; watching the wedding live on TV. Ever since they returned from the hospital, Lucas never left her side. As the sense of security returned and the assurance that he wouldn't leave again, Heidi found herself relaxing.Although being at the wedding would be more satisfying than witnessing it live on TV, Heidi had to make do with it.
