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
Cap.128: Feel the Pain.""What are you doing?" Liara asked him anxiously."I'm taking care of some matters. I managed to catch that Danica and got a bonus as well. I'm going to get rid of them both for you," he informed her coldly."What are you talking about?""I'm going to get rid of Morgan's mistress right in front of him, and then I'll think about what to do with him."At that moment, Liara swallowed hard. "Don't kill him; let him suffer from the mistress's death," she warned with equal coldness."I'm going to make him suffer a bit before everything!""We're going to cover the entire area and find out where they might be," Oliver announced, getting into the car with a tightness in his chest. The voice filled with worry echoed inside the vehicle, contrasting with the oppressive silence that hung in the air."How are we going to find them? This road leads out of the city..." Gantz sighed, hurried and with a heart pounding out of rhythm. With every mile they drove, the apprehension g
Chapter 129: Darkness**Morgan and Hanna stared deeply into each other’s eyes. The fear was evident on both faces as Hanna bid a silent farewell with a meaningful look.Suddenly, a deafening noise exploded in the air, causing their eardrums to ache. In an instant, their bodies were pulled back, dragged by the force of the explosion.“Hanna, Hanna!” A desperate voice called out Hanna’s name as she lost consciousness.Morgan, meanwhile, was being untied by the police who had arrived at the scene. With Gantz's help, they rescued Hanna, who was unconscious and bleeding.Liam lay on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood. His life had been taken by the brutality of the attack.Hanna and Morgan were rushed to the hospital, where they received initial treatment. Fortunately, their injuries weren’t severe, and they were soon discharged.“You can go home today,” Oliver informed them, noticing the deep silence that hung over Morgan, who was lying on the stretcher with his leg bandaged.Olive
Cap. 130: Strange Coldness**As they reached the mansion's entrance, Morgan eyed the two women with suspicion. Then, turning his gaze to Hanna, he spoke firmly and protectively.“Go to your annex,” he ordered. “You’ll be safer there. I’ll have a few trusted men guard the entrance to ensure those two don’t come near you.”Hanna, understanding the situation, nodded silently. She knew she needed to protect herself from the threats posed by Liara and Maya, and the annex was the safest place for that.“Miss Hanna!” Lory came running towards them, her face marked by concern. “I heard from the reports what happened… I’m so glad you’re okay!” She sighed, relieved to see them alive. “I can’t say you’re unharmed, but at least you’re alive.” A sad smile formed on her lips as tears welled up in her eyes.“Relax, Lory,” Morgan replied, still tense from the kidnapping and the news of his marriage. “Take Hanna with you and keep her safe.” He raised his hand, signaling for silence. “I need to rest be
Chapter 131: To Protect Hanna**Morgan and Oliver stared at each other, the air thick with restrained surprise and questions. The lawyer's revelation about the motivations behind the attack on Hanna’s house left Morgan perplexed and confused. "But why would a lawyer try to kill his own client, especially when you did everything to make sure the deal was fulfilled?" Morgan asked, struggling to understand the man’s actions before him. "Exactly. I was doing everything to make sure you followed through with the agreement," the lawyer responded, crossing his arms with a firm gesture. "Hayala had an order, and I had to obey." At that moment, Morgan closely observed the necklace Oliver wore under his open shirt. A spark of recognition ignited in his mind. "What the hell are you talking about?" Morgan retorted indignantly. "Was killing Hanna part of one of those missions? Were you following orders from Liara?" "Of course not! I already told you, I’ll explain everything calmly," the lawye
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
