Chapter 106: Confusing PainHanna felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, as well as in her back, but with the little strength she had, she made her way to her room and curled up on the bed, hugging herself as she cried under the covers.Morgan returned to his office, suddenly overwhelmed by guilt. It seemed that everything was leading his relationship with Hanna to decline further each time.Lory, informed by a message that Hanna was already home, headed to her room with light, worried steps. She had learned from Oliver on the way that Morgan had gone to the annex to talk to Hanna.When she entered the room, Lory was met with a scene that made her even more anxious. Hanna was curled up on the bed, her eyes closed as she appeared to be in pain."What happened?" she asked, approaching Hanna and carefully examining her. She noticed that Hanna had a bruised wrist. "I heard Morgan was here, and I can only imagine you two fought, but this..." she muttered, her expression darkening with ang
**Chapter 107: Feverish.**Hanna ended up sleeping on the floor, curled up and overwhelmed by the piercing cold. She awoke to loud bangs on her door and backed away, startled."Mrs. Hanna, please open the door!" Hanna recognized Oliver's voice and opened the door.As soon as she did, Oliver and Gantz entered, carrying Morgan."I don't know what happened," Oliver explained, frightened. "He was lying on the ground, completely soaked...""Heavens..." Hanna examined Morgan. He had undoubtedly spent the entire night outside in the freezing cold, and the morning was still so cloudy it didn't even seem like daylight had broken."Take him upstairs to one of the guest rooms," she instructed as the men climbed the stairs. She followed them but tried to stop them."No!" she protested when they intended to enter her room."Miss Hanna..." Oliver hesitated. "I'm sorry, but we need to leave him in your care. He needs to change clothes and be warmed up. These coming days will be extremely cold, so ta
**Chapter 108: A Living Son?**Lory and Oliver waited anxiously for Gantz in the living room. As soon as he appeared, holding a package in his hands, the tension intensified."Is this medicine... for sleeping?" Gantz asked, handing the bottle to Oliver. "He had bought something at the pharmacy, but I couldn’t see what."Oliver finally understood the situation. "Yes, it’s for sleeping," he confirmed. "But the number of pills seems excessive for someone who just started taking it yesterday."Lory took the bottle from Oliver's hands, examining it carefully. "I know this medication," she said with concern. "But the prescribed amount is high for someone who’s using it recently.""Does he need a stomach pump?" Oliver asked, worried about Morgan's health."He needs a brainwash to stop being so reckless!" Lory exclaimed, irritated by the situation. "It’s been years since Morgan started hiding his problems," she continued, her voice heavy with sadness. "He’s always had trouble sleeping, and hi
**Chapter 109: His Touch**Hanna was completely lost in Morgan's kiss. It was as if their bodies were floating in a sea of sensations, her mind dissolving into a whirlwind of desire and passion.Suddenly, the kiss was interrupted. Morgan looked at her with a mischievous smile, trying to stifle a laugh at Hanna's dazed expression.“What is it?” he asked in a husky, gentle voice.“I want you to get off me now,” she requested, turning her gaze away with shyness and nervousness. “Let me go…”“But who undressed me?” he asked, still on top of her.Hanna felt her cheeks flush, a mix of embarrassment and nervousness. “I…,” she stammered, unsure of what to say.“Are you going to run away from me again?” he asked, his voice filled with resentment. “And only show up when I’m dying? I can arrange for that…” he suddenly said, breathless, but not because of the fever still burning him.“Are you still delirious?” Hanna questioned skeptically. “And besides… I don’t care if you live or die…” She press
**Chapter 110: Got You!**Lory dragged the two men downstairs, sitting on the couch in a heavy silence. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to say until Gantz let out a nervous laugh."How is this possible?" he asked, incredulous. "Does he know it's her? I'm completely baffled by this situation.""I don't know," Lory replied, lost in her thoughts. "But there's no hiding it anymore after today. What am I going to say to Morgan?""Well... I find it unlikely that he remembers nothing," Oliver commented calmly, his gaze distant. "The important thing is that those two sort things out; it's long overdue."They were speaking in hushed tones when Hanna descended the stairs, still wearing a coat."Are you leaving, Miss Hanna?" Lory stood up, apprehensive."Yes... I need to go to the university; I left some important data there," she said, using a hat to cover her face. "But before I go, Lory..." She approached her friend, her voice low and hesitant. "I don’t know if Morgan realized the trut
**Chapter 111: The Tables Have Turned**The truth that Morgan had tried so hard to conceal was now exposed. He knew that Danica and Hanna were the same person, and the revelation was eating him up inside. An ironic smile formed on his lips, laden with bitterness and frustration."You think I'm stupid!" Morgan asserted, grabbing Oliver by the collar with force. His eyes blazed with anger and indignation. "You were really willing to let me be deceived, weren't you?""Damn it!" Oliver muttered, pulling away abruptly from Morgan's grip. "How long have you known?""Well... I was already suspicious," Morgan replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Besides, when she had a fever, she mentioned a brother. And after that, things didn't match up with the life story she told me, but they did with Hanna's life."He let out a mocking laugh. "Lory herself had said she had no relatives," he continued. "And suddenly, a niece and a sister? How does that work? Lory was an immigrant who came here alone
### Chapter 112: A Child of Ours?"Miss Hanna..." the doctor began, hesitating as he tried to break the news. "There is some information that is restricted. Just as we can't disclose information about your brother."Hanna stared at him with her piercing blue eyes, a mix of indifference and pain etched on her face."It's Morgan!" she retorted, her voice firm despite the pain still lingering in her abdomen. She instinctively massaged her belly, seeking relief from the discomfort.The doctor sighed, recognizing Hanna's determination."So, he must have told you," he conceded, unsure of what more to say. "But... Miss Hanna? Are you alright?" He grew concerned as he noticed Hanna doubling over, gripped by a wave of pain.Before the doctor could do anything, Hanna fainted in his arms. Without hesitation, he lifted her and rushed her to the emergency room, his heart pounding with worry.Meanwhile, Morgan was outside the hospital, parked in his car near the staircase. Oliver, who had decided t
**Chapter 113: For a Second**Morgan quickly started the car, slamming on the accelerator without caring about the consequences. He crashed head-on into the car that was speeding toward Hanna.When Hanna opened her eyes after feeling the impact between the vehicles, she saw Morgan stumbling out of the car, as well as the man from the other vehicle."Go help her, I’ll try to capture him!" Oliver shouted, signaling to the other security guards who also followed the man who was fleeing on foot.Everything had happened so fast that Hanna was still trying to process what was going on. She kept her hand on her abdomen, thinking about the irony of the situation: she had just found out she was pregnant, and now she was risking her life before even meeting her baby.Morgan approached her and wrapped her in a strong embrace, despite feeling a bit of pain himself."Did you do this?" She asked, perplexed, clinging to his chest and holding onto him tightly. "You could have died! What would I do if
**Ch. 166: Each Life** The next day, Gabriel accompanied Hanna on a tour of the places mentioned in the will she had inherited. However, there was still one place she dreaded visiting—the hospital room where her father lay. Despite her reluctance, Hanna knew she had to see him, understand his condition, and decide what to do. "Do you really want to see him?" Gabriel asked hesitantly as they stopped in front of the door to the room. Hanna remained silent, her head bowed, displaying apprehension and sorrow. Her emotions were conflicted: she didn’t want her father to die, yet she harbored deep resentment for his actions. "I just don’t want him to die," she admitted, her voice thick with emotion. "It wouldn’t be fair to strip so many people of their freedom for years and then just die like that." "He’s an old man now," Gabriel offered, trying to console her. "Still filled with malice..." Hanna smiled, but it was a disconcerted and melancholic smile. "Can you imagine he wante
Chapter 165: Freedom and Punishment Ruby didn’t understand what Hanna meant. She stood up and left again, demanding a phone from one of the soldiers. Her hands trembled like a green twig with everything that was happening. As she made the call, anxiety consumed her. “Office...” “Gabriel!” Hanna stammered, cutting him off before he could respond. “Hanna! How are you? Where are you?” He stood up, surprised, stumbling over his words. “I need you to solve a problem for me, right now,” she pleaded, anxious. “Hanna, how did you even manage to call me? What’s going on?” he asked, concerned. “Morgan is already getting sick from searching for you...” “No! I don’t want you to tell him where I am or how I’m doing,” she warned hesitantly, massaging her stomach. Suddenly, she remembered Morgan’s words about having children. “Alright... just tell me where you are, and I’ll be there by tonight if possible.” “Can you get here by tomorrow morning? My... grandmother... sister... aunt... I’m no
**Cap. 164: Control is Mine.**She, filled with curiosity, opened the bedroom door and realized that the men had followed Lins. This further reinforced her suspicions. Carefully, she went down the stairs and began to wander aimlessly through the house's labyrinths until she heard screams and pleas for help.Hanna followed the noise and found the two guards dragging Heydi and Ruby. Her heart raced uncontrollably in her chest. What would she do? She watched Lins following behind the men as they took her grandmothers to some unknown place.They continued down to an underground area, an old stone corridor, damp and dark. The wet walls made the place feel even more frightening. Finally, they reached a room with prison bars on the door. Through a small window, Hanna could see what was happening inside.“Get the whip!” Lins ordered furiously.“Please…” Heydi whimpered in panic, kneeling on the floor beside Ruby, who kept her head down.“You had to break the rules and tell him, didn’t you?” L
**Chapter 163: The Mask Falls**Maya turned the doorknob fearfully, and as soon as she entered, she found Liara sitting motionless on her bed, her hair disheveled. She looked like a madwoman who hadn’t slept in days.“Mother...” Maya called cautiously as she approached, but Liara didn’t respond. “Are you okay?” she asked, extending her hand to try to touch her mother’s shoulder. Suddenly, Liara stared at her furiously.“Traitor!” Liara screamed shrilly, then stood up and rushed at Maya, who backed away, terrified.“Calm down, mother, it’s me!” Maya stammered.“I want you to die! Die! You and your cursed child!” Liara raged, clutching her head and messing up her own hair before grabbing a water pitcher from the desk. Maya, panicked, realized her mother’s intention and ran out of the room, still hearing the glass shatter against the door.Maya collapsed to the floor, her legs trembling, hands covering her face in horror. She then crawled away from her mother’s door, retreating into her
Chapter 162: Everything in My Hands?As soon as the two women introduced themselves, Hanna was surprised, not knowing they existed.“What’s going on here?” she asked, confused.“We don’t have much time to explain,” Heydi said anxiously. “But do you remember how you were raised here?”Hanna shook her head in denial.“Girl... you don’t remember because you were on controlled medication when you were younger. Lins lied to your mother, saying you had a disease due to congenital problems.”“Me? But I don’t have any health problems,” Hanna said, thoughtfully.“Yes... Lins made up that lie just to keep you locked up until you turned eighteen and could serve his plan,” Heydi explained. “I thought you were free from this torment, but it seems he never stopped searching for you.”“What are you trying to say?” Hanna asked, growing more confused.“That... we are all daughters of Lins,” Ruby revealed. “There is no other lineage in our family apart from his.”Hanna instantly understood what she mea
**Chapter 161: Ortiz Castle**Hanna decided to go with Lins that same day. Despite wanting to return, she was afraid of facing Davis again and feared he might discover her pregnancy and that she hadn’t lost the baby. "For my child’s life, I’d rather go..." she sighed to herself in front of the bathroom mirror. At that moment, she longed for a peaceful place. At the same time, her brother crossed her mind, but she didn’t know if she should tell Lins about the child’s existence. Even so, she still didn’t fully trust Lins, but he seemed like the safest option to protect herself at that moment, especially since she believed Morgan was now closer to Maya. Morgan had found out which country Lins had traveled to, but it no longer mattered since he was already leaving the country on another aircraft, and Morgan couldn’t track him anymore. After landing, they drove to an old city. With many well-preserved, picturesque old houses, it was a populous place with warm and cheerful people. H
**Chapter 160: Lins, My Father?**“How is her health?” the raspy, grating voice of the elderly man echoed in Hanna’s ears. “She’s in quite a weakened state,” the doctor explained. “It seems like she’s been neglected for a long time, which has made her frail. She has a cut on her leg that needs attention because it’s deep enough to get infected, but that’s not even the most critical thing. She’s pregnant.” When the doctor revealed this, Lins raised his eyebrows. “Yes…” he sighed, restless. “I heard she’s married to an important man.” “What do you want me to do regarding the child?” the doctor asked calmly. “Nothing. What do you think should be done?” Lins asked, indifferent. “I thought you might want to terminate the pregnancy,” the doctor commented. “I’m not considering that,” Lins replied firmly. “Let her have the baby. After investigating the hospital and the day she was there, I found out that her ‘perfect husband’ tried to terminate the pregnancy without her consent.
**Chapter 159: Too Late**In less than half an hour, Morgan had several police cars parked in front of the place where Luna said she saw Hanna.“Are you sure it’s this mansion?” Oliver asked Morgan with concern.“Luna said they were entering the mansion across from her father’s,” Morgan replied as the officers rang the doorbell, but no one answered.“Are they reviewing the footage?” Rudan asked anxiously.“Yes… They’re checking this morning’s footage,” Morgan confirmed. “There are cameras in front of Luna’s father’s mansion, and they’ve made them available.”“Wouldn’t it be easier to just say ‘your father’?” Oliver asked, annoyed.“That man means nothing to me,” Morgan said, then stared at the mansion he so despised. “But... unfortunately, there’s someone I need to see once I’m sure Hanna is in there, and I can get her out of that so-called father’s hands.”Morgan waited a few minutes until the footage was brought in, confirming they had indeed taken someone inside the mansion. But th
**Chapter 158: The Disappearance of Hanna**That same morning, Davis had already realized Hanna was missing. The room was in disarray, everything overturned, bed sheets strewn across the floor, and Davis furious as he threw the bracelet with the tracker far away.“How did this happen?” he asked indignantly.“This time...” Rudan sighed, pretending to be anxious about the situation. “It seems she really managed to escape,” he added, as Davis stared at him in rage, circling him.“You never took your eyes off her, and suddenly...” Davis murmured suspiciously.“Suddenly what?” Rudan retorted. “My job is to take care of your security, not play the role of Hanna’s husband while you act like a spoiled brat and womanizer. If you want to throw the blame on me, go ahead! But it wasn’t me who made false promises and mistreated her.”“Damn it! Are you against me now?” Davis asked indignantly.“You seem blind,” Rudan countered. “You’ve been completely oblivious to a life! Hanna was carrying a child
