**Cap. 116: The Gold Digger?**Hanna headed towards the mansion with her heart racing. With each passing second, her anxiety about losing her ring intensified. She needed to get there quickly and retrieve the item before someone else found it.Sitting in the front seat of the car, she was frantically banging on the driver’s seat. The security guard, impassive, just watched her through the rearview mirror.“This is ridiculous!” she exclaimed, irritated. “If this were a taxi, we’d have arrived ages ago!” Frustration consumed her. “Where’s your boss?” she asked, her voice tense.“He’s gone,” the man replied indifferently, not taking his eyes off the road.“Come on, hurry up! Step on the gas!” Hanna yelled, kicking the back of the car seat. “Damn it... how could I forget...” she lamented desperately. “If one of the staff finds the ring while cleaning Morgan’s room, what am I going to say?”As soon as the car stopped in front of the mansion, Hanna practically leaped out. She dashed inside
**Cap. 117: Distance**Even though Hanna heard Morgan's plea, she ignored him, also annoyed with him.“Please!” he bellowed, banging on the door with clenched fists, making a muffled noise. “Why are you always so distant?”Suddenly, Hanna opened the door, glaring at Morgan with anger.“So distant?” she asserted. “You came to my door a few days ago wanting to talk for the first time as a couple, and then you mistreat me? I’m the one who’s distant? You’re crazy!”Then she slammed the door shut again with force.Morgan clenched his fists in anger, restraining himself from saying what was on his mind. He simply withdrew, frustrated.In the morning, Hanna headed to college. As expected, the security guards were on duty to escort her.“Good morning, Miss,” one of them said before she got into the car and slammed the door shut without responding.During the drive, she kept her eyes glued to a message on her phone, a single message that seemed to bother her greatly.This time, she didn’t care
Chapter 118: No Children Here.**Hanna and Murilo were engaged in lively conversation, laughing and sharing stories while enjoying their meals. The atmosphere was light and relaxed until the restaurant door swung open, and Morgan walked in, his brow furrowed and his gaze fixed on Hanna.Murilo immediately looked away as Morgan pulled up a chair and sat next to Hanna without being invited. A tense silence fell over the table, with Hanna lowering her head, unsure of how to react to her husband's unexpected presence.Morgan scrutinized the two with a stern, penetrating look, the tension in the air almost tangible."Good friends having lunch together, can't they?" Murilo asked, with a hint of irony in his voice."Not when he has an interest in the friend in question," Morgan retorted coldly."You have no proof of that," Murilo replied, trying to keep his composure."Oh... I have proof, and you know it well! You should learn to stay away from things that don't belong to you," Morgan mutter
**Chapter 119: Hidden Observer**Hanna pushed through the crowd of doctors and entered the room where two more doctors were waiting for her. She nearly fell to her knees, breathless and overwhelmed by a mix of relief and emotion.“Sister!” The boy said in a weak voice, his eyes still unsteady.“Han...” She sighed, crouching down on the floor in front of the bed. Tears streamed down her face, but she couldn't hold them back.“How long...” he whispered, opening his arms for a hug. She embraced him tightly, feeling the warmth of his body against hers.“I missed your hug so much,” he whispered again, snuggling into her lap.“After so many years!” One of the doctors announced, his voice laden with emotion. “Thanks to Hanna, one of the most complicated diseases in the world now has a treatment.”“This will make a big difference for the world!” Another doctor added, and applause echoed through the room.The positive results came faster than expected. Now, Hanna could participate in transferr
**Chapter 120: Some Truths**Hanna stiffened, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Surprise mixed with anger and fear, and beneath the explosive words threatening to overflow, a vein could be seen pulsing on Hanna's forehead if not for the bandages."Don’t even think about complaining. Were you planning to stay away from me? Running away, actually? You didn’t even ask for permission," Morgan asked, his voice smooth as silk but with an underlying tone of menace. His eyes, once distant, now bore into her with intense focus.Hanna struggled to maintain her composure, but the anger boiled in her veins. "As far as I know, this is for university students!" she replied, her voice low and firm, but trembling slightly.Morgan leaned forward, invading her personal space. His piercing gaze made her uncomfortable, as if he was undressing her with his eyes."What are you trying to say, Miss Hanna?" he asked, his voice now a low and dangerous growl. The air between them became thick, charged wi
Chapter 121: A Desperate Mother**Liara entered the house with heavy steps, dragging Maya up the stairs as if her daughter were a burden. Anger bubbled within her, fueling the distrust that consumed her.Upon reaching the room, Liara threw Maya onto the armchair with a brusque gesture. The young woman curled up in silence, refusing to speak.“You’re going to tell me right now, what is all this?” Liara demanded, her voice dripping with fury.Maya remained mute, her trembling lips refusing to form the words her mother so desperately wanted to hear.“Maya!” Liara growled, gripping her daughter’s face forcefully, her eyes piercing through her like lightning. “Tell me what’s going on!”“Mother…” Maya whispered, her voice weak and hesitant, “please... don’t make me talk about this... I still can’t believe that child is alive...”Liara clenched her jaw, her muscles tense. Maya’s response only intensified her fury, turning it into a hurricane.“What does that child have to do with you and Morg
Chapter 122: Rowing and Confusion**"Hanna and I are great friends; I just wanted to bring her along with us," Murilo explained, unsettled by Morgan's reaction."Hanna is with her husband, it's better if you stay with me, at least that's what you said," Misa retorted, her eyes fixed on Morgan with a glint of jealousy and possessiveness."Misa, of course, I'll stay close to you and take care of you, alright?" Murilo said gently, trying to calm the situation. Misa nodded, still casting a suspicious look at Morgan.Meanwhile, Morgan walked with Hanna towards the large table in front of the rest house, where the other participants were placing their bags. The atmosphere between them was tense, filled with a mixture of awkwardness and resentment."You're really not going to leave me alone, are you?" Hanna asked, her voice laced with impatience. At that moment, a young man approached them."Hey, Hanna! Glad you came! I just didn't know you'd bring your uncle!" he joked, oblivious to the ten
Chapter 123: Of This Water, I Will Drink!A group of friends gathered for a night of games, stories, and unexpected revelations. Most of the participants had already retired to their tents, seeking rest after a day full of activities. But for the six couples who remained, the night promised to be unforgettable.Murilo, the host of the evening, invited Misaluna and Hanna to join the circle, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and curiosity. Hanna, always eager for new experiences, sat next to Morgan and Misaluna, with Murilo completing the circle."So, what happens at these bonfire parties?" Hanna asked, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm."Games, stories, and, of course, funny dares!" Murilo replied with an enigmatic smile, making Hanna even more intrigued.Around the crackling fire, they settled into an intimate circle, the light dancing on their faces, revealing expressions of expectation and excitement. Morgan, observing the group with his usual seriousness, analyzed each person
Chapter 186: The Dream of the BeginningThe day of the trip had finally arrived. Hanna would return with her entire family, along with Morgan's family, and, most importantly, Lory, who absolutely did not want to miss this moment.It was still morning when the suitcases were being brought and placed in two cars, but there was still someone who would be traveling with them. Even after all the intrigue, Davis was there. He couldn’t even look Hanna in the eye—not out of disrespect, but after the numerous times he had been to prison and appeared in the newspapers, his dignity was completely shattered; he only had respect left.Rudan, on the other hand, had distanced himself from Davis, maintaining only a friendly relationship, but he still showed up. He parked in front of the Farrugia mansion, but before entering, something caught his attention.He got out of the car and walked toward the woman sitting on a step across the way, in front of the Farrugia mansion."Don't you ever get tired of
Chapter 185: Back to Me"Are you drunk? You already know that I don’t love you anymore, not after you let me be taken by that bastard.""I didn’t think it would get worse. I gave you to him to save you from something worse, but Davis was an idiot...""So letting me go was the only way you found to protect me? Seriously?" she asked skeptically, with teary eyes."At that moment?" He sighed heavily, staring at the ceiling while she rested against his chest. "I was stuck in a wheelchair, couldn’t do anything for you, I didn’t even know if I’d be able to walk again..." he confessed. "Back then, you couldn’t even fight for yourself, not without resources. But money isn’t everything, Hanna. What do you plan to do? Live your whole life alone while our son needs a father figure? When he grows up, he’ll miss me and wish I was around, and I want to be a present father and husband. Just let me do that.""Why?" Hanna muttered indignantly, hitting his chest. He just held her in his arms."Like it o
Cap. 184: A Real Dream"What’s going on?" Gabriel asked as Hanna ran back."Where is he? How could they have disappeared?" she asked desperately, looking to her grandmothers, who were clearing their throats. "You!" she pointed accusingly at the two ladies."But... what do they have to do with it?" Gabriel asked, concerned, heading toward the bedroom."They were acting strange, they were the last ones to enter the room. I left both of them sleeping, and now I’ve lost them..." Hanna muttered, lamenting."No..." Gabriel sighed thoughtfully as he heard the lullaby. "They’re still here, I can hear the crib’s music. They must have moved them somewhere else." Gabriel figured it out as he analyzed where the sound was coming from, then opened the bedroom door, freezing before entering.When Hanna got closer, she almost stumbled backward in shock."How? Is this a dream?" she asked confused as she saw Morgan lying on the bed, sleeping with the newborn baby resting on his chest and his son beside
Chapter 183: Kidnapping Morgan?The two elderly women watched the man with curiosity."What are we going to do? I'm sure it's him, right?" Heydi asked, while Ruby looked around as if she was about to do something suspicious."It's definitely him, and it's clear he's suffering because of that stubborn girl," Ruby said."I've got an idea!" Heydi exclaimed, smiling slyly at Ruby."What crazy scheme is your mind coming up with now? It's already bad enough that we're in a bar," Ruby said, and then she pointed at Morgan, who was unconscious at the bar. He was still mumbling something.They listened carefully and realized he was lamenting something, the death of someone. They kept listening and discovered it was because of his son's death, which made Heydi even more determined to carry out her plan.The two women helped Morgan to his feet, though they nearly collapsed under his weight. They didn’t have the strength to lift such a large man, but they managed to drag him out of the bar, despit
Chapter 182: The Pressure of Not KnowingHanna’s grandmothers watched her closely over the days. Gabriel told them everything that had happened in Hanna’s life while she was married to Morgan. Who was Morgan? They wanted to know every detail of it all.Days went by as they saw Hanna struggling, wearing herself out, and each day the baby was getting closer to being born. Morgan had no clue where she was, and he couldn’t even figure out where Gabriel was. All he knew was that Gabriel had become a prosecutor. Although growing anxious, Haniel was the only bridge still keeping him grounded. He had returned to the mansion, and now there was a new bed in the room where Haniel slept. Both he and the boy were arranging toys on a new shelf."When is Willy coming home?" Haniel asked excitedly."Oh... he’ll be back. You’re going to be his big brother," Morgan replied as the boy smiled brightly."It’s going to be so good to have a little brother, I’m excited..." he sighed, thrilled."Yes... it’s g
Chapter 181: Consequences of Every ActionAfter the assassination attempt, Liara woke up three days later in a hospital bed, her life precariously hanging by threads. Morgan, consumed by rage and the need for justice, wished with all his might that she survive just so she could pay for everything. Her admission to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital was a one-way road.Frustration took hold of Morgan as he faced Gabriel's office, now sealed. The "Sold" sign felt like a taunt, a reminder that his target had slipped through his fingers. Anger bubbled inside him. Gabriel had planned everything carefully, disappearing without a trace. Where would he go? What would be his next move? With each question, Morgan's obsession intensified.While Morgan pored over the clues, trying to figure out where Gabriel could be hiding, Gabriel adjusted his tie in front of a mirror in an airport bathroom. The anticipation was palpable as he waited for the two ladies.Soon, he would be reunited with his
Chapter 180: Hanna's CounterattackHanna asked Mr. Ford for help to leave the mansion without being followed. He then showed her another exit from the vast estate at the boundaries of his property, leaving Hanna breathless at the sheer scale of it all."You must be wondering how I have all this, considering I stopped being a Farrugia, right?" Mr. Ford asked, his eyes shining with pride. It was as if he had read her mind. "As Luna's friend and savior, it's obvious my daughter tells you everything... I got all this through the divorce, in the division of assets. Morgan took over everything after I left and managed to multiply what he had by over twenty times what I currently have—and it’s still growing," he commented, a faint smile on his lips.Hanna grew thoughtful. This man, who initially seemed so distant and cold, now revealed a complexity that surprised her."You really seem happy for him," she remarked, breaking the silence."Ah... he’s my son. I've always been very proud of and l
Chapter 179: Morgan's AttackGabriel arrived at the Ford mansion unannounced. Hanna was worried about the urgency with which her uncle had contacted her; she even thought something might have happened to his patients."Gabriel..." Hanna sighed, full of guilt."No suspense, what's going on?" Her voice was firm, demanding an immediate response."First of all, I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do, and Haniel needed a guardian present..." His eyes avoided hers, evading her accusing gaze."What did you do?" Her voice was a whisper, laced with anger."I gave Morgan rights as Haniel's guardian, and now he's taken him to the mansion," he explained, and Hanna paled. Her lips pressed into a thin line."What do you mean?" Her voice was a low growl."What you heard—Morgan took Haniel to his house earlier today," Gabriel seemed to shrink under her fury."Why this sudden decision?" Her voice was cold and calculating."He wants to see you. That’s why. He said you can fight for custody in court, but y
Cap.178: My Way of Bringing You"It's not like I never wanted to, but when you have a child with such a severe illness, you're afraid the next one will suffer the consequences. But I don't have that fear anymore, not in the situation I'm in. That's why I'm going to have a child and do my best to ensure they have a happy life by my side and with the woman I love," he said with conviction, trying to maintain a serious posture, but his eyes betrayed the intensity of his emotions. He knew she was listening and misunderstanding everything."My God... how you've changed and... why are you opening up like this?" Luna asked, startled by the intensity in Morgan's voice. "Besides, I thought you loved Hanna," she said indignantly."I spent so much time looking for her, and now I know she's fine and doesn't want anything to do with me. Am I so insignificant that I should humiliate myself chasing someone who runs and hides?" he said indifferently, but his voice carried a tone of resentment. Then h
