The same look of confusion on her parents' faces as they left the ward was cascaded over Lucas's face as well.Thank goodness they didn't refuse her request or ask her questions because Heidi couldn't provide any answers. She didn't know what she was doing. “What's it that you want to speak about, Heidi…” Lucas sat beside her, his confusion replaced by the joy that glinted in his eyes. “I'm listening.”Heidi looked down, searching inside her heart for the anger and hate she'd been feeling for the past few days. Why was it that she couldn't feel any of them?What was with the slight feeling of remorse and heartache?She dared to stare into his eyes and she regretted it instantly. Heidi averted her gaze from his once more. “Time is running…” Lucas urged her on. “One minute will be up soon.”And once the minute was over, her parents might come barging in to send him out. “Did you give the speech?”Lucas nodded, his eyes filled with regret. “I shouldn't have asked you to do it. I'm so

Regina rolled her eyes and Caleb clicked his tongue.“Shouldn’t you thank us instead?” “We know what's going on, Heidi…”“Besides, isn't this the best way to save our heads from the media?”Heidi understood none of their words, especially the last one. “The media? What do you mean by the media?”“We just found out that every news channel in Phoenix City is speaking about you two.” Bringing out his phone, her father waved the screen in front of her. “And the netizens are shipping you two together.”Did Lucas bribe the netizens?Heidi took the phone from her father's hands and scrolled down the comment section under the post a gossip media uploaded with pictures of her and Lucas at the funeral.Every moment and every tiny affectionate gesture by him was captured.Who were they kidding? Lucas must have tipped off the paparazzi to do that. “Besides, Jason is a bastard,’’ her mother groaned. “I can't believe your grandfather agreed to matchmaking you guys.”“By the way, didn't you just
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 405. Had Enough
A deafening silence descended upon the living room instantly, everyone quieted down at once, a look of shock and horror registered on their faces. Heidi's eyes snapped to the guy, and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, her heart sank.“Son-in-law, what did you just say?” Beatrice snapped out of the shock faster than the others. She chuckled, her smile a mix of nervousness and uncertainty. “You don't mean it…”Killian let out a frustrated air. “I mean what I said, okay? I'm not doing this marriage anymore.”Blood drained from Lilian's face as well as the other family members. “Honey-”“That's enough…” Killian raised his hand, halting her words. “People marry to find happiness, right? I can't set myself up for hell when it's not even my time yet.”“You're joking.”“Call it what you may…” Killian shrugged. “But Lilian, this is the end of our marriage.”Hearing his last words broke Heidi out of her reverie. She glanced at her parents who looked shocked also. Harold frowned deeply. “Are

Heidi saw no reason in denying it. She nodded to her father's question and explained how it happened. “While I was in Lucas's home, I saw the news that Grandpa was hospitalized. When I visited, I overheard the conversation…” She paused, staring at her parents, her mood dampening and guilt engulfing her heart. “I thought it was the best way to save the family's reputation.”Lucas had been against it that night. He thought it was a crazy idea, but she hadn't listened. “And you made that poor man suffer in the hands of Lilian?” Caleb reprimanded. “The idea of love and marriage isn't supposed to be taken lightly, Heidi. Do you think it will be pleasing to your grandfather once he hears about this?”Now that Killian had exposed the secret, everyone would definitely hear about it. The last person she wanted to know of the news was her grandfather. “Mum, Dad, I'm sorry… Can you guys please not tell him?” “We're not gonna tell him, but others might…” Regina sat down. “If Harold's famil

“That's a horrible thing to say! Who says my marriage has ended? Killian just went out, he will return!” She cried. “Won't you pity my condition instead of rubbing it on my face?”Grandpa Jeffery shook his head. “I shouldn't have allowed Harold to raise you. See what he has made you, aren't you guilty of bringing shame to this family?”Lilian sat down, wiping her tears. “Whatever… you'll take back your words, Grandpa, once Killian returns and apologizes to me.”Heidi picked up her food tray and left for the stairs instead of the large doors. Jason was about to follow her and she paused. “This is bad timing. It's never gonna work.”“It has been many years, Heidi. You spoke the same words…” He held his forehead. “Don't tell me you're still obsessed with that man.”“I only want friendship from you.”“Our friendship ended right from the time our parents spoke about our marriage…” He leaned against the stair's railings. “Now I have a second chance-”“Not really.” Heidi shook her head. “Bu
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 408. His Fault
The title “Resignation Letter” was boldly written at the top of the document.Apprehension filling up the space of her chest, Heidi lingered by the doorway, hesitating to go near the desk. She called out to one of the secretaries who hurried up to her hastily.“Good morning, Ms. Olsen. Can I help you with anything?”“Has Isla come to the company today?”Probably, Isla left for some emergency. Her assistant had never been this late to work,And that resignation letter must be from one of the secretaries who resided in the president's area. The secretary sighed upon hearing Heidi's question. “You mean Ms. Kendall? She came and dropped a message then left.” While speaking, she picked up the document. “Ms. Kendall told me that in case you don't see it, I should give it to you.”The document Heidi detested to look at was being extended towards her. Her fingers shaking slightly, she took it and stared at it; and her heart sank at that moment, because her fear was real. Isla was resigning

Isla rose to her feet. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking from Heidi to Killian. “W-What are you here, Mr. Jonas?”“You know the answer…” Killian came forward. “I'm here to see you.”Covering her face, Isla cried helplessly. “Won't you leave me alone until the scandal escalates and tarnishes your image?”“What scandal?” Killian took her hands, moving them away from her face. “Believe me, that gossip won't spend the next minute on the media. I've ordered for it to be taken down.”“Is that supposed to make me happy?” Isla shook her head. “I've caused you your marriage; I can't live with this shame.”Killian pulled her into a hug. “Blaming yourself for everything is bad for your mental health. Why don't you put all your worries to sleep? I'm here for you.”Heidi wasn't able to calm Isla down, but Killian was able to.The couple hugged passionately, with Isla sobbing in his arms while Killian reassured her with words that came right from his heart.The sight was heart-warming, shakin

Lucas cupped her cheeks gently in his palms, using his thumbs to wipe her tears. “Killian told me what happened.”“I'm the most horrible person.” Heidi sobbed. “What if I hadn't asked you to convince Killian to marry one of my cousins?”“So what if you did?” Lucas murmured, his tone dripping with sadness. “I was the only one who could fulfill your wish at that time.”“My wish was a selfish one…” Heidi looked down. “If only I knew that Killian and Isla were together.” She sighed. “What if I knew things would turn out like this?”“What if fate had it that things would turn out this way?” Lucas answered. “Stop blaming yourself, Heidi.”He hugged her again. “Things were bound to happen this way.”For several minutes, Heidi remained in his embrace, reveling in the warmth and comfort it brought to her heart.It took a while before she came to terms with this monumental mistake. Finally, she shifted. Lucas looked relieved to find out she'd stopped crying.“You'll find a better assistant, H
