**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
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
