**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 124: A Drunken Man Remembers**Night fell over the camp like a velvet cloak, enveloping everything in a deep silence. Inside the tent, Morgan and Hanna found themselves in a private refuge, far from prying eyes and the pulsating party that beat like a vibrant heart around them.Hanna, now sitting on Morgan's lap, felt the warmth of his body as her fingers tangled in his dark hair when he sat up. With slow, deliberate movements, Morgan began unbuttoning Hanna's blouse, revealing her soft skin. She lost herself in his touch for a moment, letting herself go. Each piece of clothing removed made him even more eager, as he felt her hand slide down his abdomen, reaching the button of his pants and eliciting a heavy sigh."We can't do anything here," she said, snapping back to reality, looking at him with caution."Just don't make any noise, and no one will know..." he whispered.Hanna nodded, her eyes shining as she placed her arms on Morgan's shoulders. A mix of shyness and anticipa
Cap. 125: Until the Last Breath**"What did you do?" Morgan questioned Murilo in a severe tone when he caught up to him, noticing Misaluna asleep in his arms.Murilo cautiously adjusted Misaluna in his arms and responded in a low voice, "Don't make any noise; she's sleeping.""You didn't make my sister drink, did you?""I'm responsible for taking care of my wife, not putting her life at risk."Morgan approached, staring at Murilo seriously. "So you're her future fiancé?" he asked, his voice filled with incredulity."Of course... even though we don't agree..." Murilo admitted, lowering his gaze."Why did you agree?" Morgan, overcome with anger and confusion, questioned."Misa's father wants her to get married. He found three suitors, but I knew those two men—they're not good... I knew they wouldn't take care of her, so we made an agreement. I'll take care of her, after all..." He paused, searching for the right words. "We have something in common—Hanna cares for her a lot, and she's al
Chapter 126: Finally, Finally**Hanna succumbed to unconsciousness as her body sank inexorably into the depths of the lake. A sensation of lightness enveloped her, as if Misa’s arms were wrapping around her in a warm embrace. But the darkness overtook her before she could grasp what was happening.“Here!” Morgan shouted with all the strength left in his lungs after surfacing with both young women and swimming back to the surface. With every ounce of energy, he and the other guys who responded to the call fought to keep Hanna and Misa afloat. Murilo, with quick and precise movements, swam towards them, while the others helped push them back to the pier.“Call an ambulance!” Murilo yelled, taking charge of the situation. He began CPR on Misaluna while Morgan did the same for Hanna. With combined effort, they managed to get both of them to expel the water they had swallowed. Misaluna, gradually regaining consciousness, abruptly sat up, her chest burning with pain. Her eyes met Morgan’s,
127: Two Birds with One Stone**The retreat hadn't ended yet, but after the incident at the lake, Murilo and Misaluna had already returned to the city. Morgan and Hanna, on the other hand, were heading to the hospital with Gantz and Oliver before returning to the mansion. Morgan wanted to reveal his secret as quickly as possible.The security guards, under medical orders, didn't have access to the children's ward, an area with a high circulation of children. This restriction made them even more uneasy.In the elevator, Hanna and Morgan remained silent. She was deep in thought, trying to find the best way to tell Morgan the truth about the boy in the children's ward.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Hanna gathered her courage and stopped Morgan before he could head to the boy's room."I need to tell you something first..." she sighed, insecure but determined to reveal everything.Morgan paused, showing curiosity but also a slight tone of apprehension."What is it?" he asked, his v
