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
132: A Troublesome Encounter**The man furrowed his brow as he saw Hanna’s face, clearing his throat in confusion. “Who are you?” he asked, stepping back hesitantly. “My name is Hanna, Hanna Ortiz,” she said calmly, analyzing the man from head to toe. There was something familiar about him, as if she had seen him before. Removing her glove, she extended her hand to greet him, but he refused. “Heavens…” he murmured, averting his eyes and turning his back on her. Outside, Murilo and Misaluna waited, filled with concern. “I have to take care of something quickly,” Murilo told Misaluna, grabbing his phone and stepping away to make a call. “So, who was the girl in the photo?” he whispered to himself. “What are you talking about? And who are you? You can’t be here without authorization,” Hanna warned, her firm voice cutting through the silence of the laboratory. “You…” he sighed, putting his hands in his pockets, still confused. He glanced at Hanna under the disguise, his eyes full o
**Chapter 133: Davis' Interest**They managed to calm Hanna down and followed her to the cafeteria, where they sat together.“Stay calm, alright?” Misaluna requested, while Murilo brought her a glass of water.“Explain it slowly so we can understand,” Murilo urged, restless as he stood next to Misaluna.“The truth is, I wasn’t supposed to marry Morgan, but Davis. However, he ran away, and to avoid financial damage to the Farrugia family, Morgan decided to marry me in his place. But he said it was temporary... and now Davis is back, just like Morgan said he would be. He’s going to hand me over to him... but from what I know of that man, he seems even worse than Morgan!” she whimpered in panic, and Murilo sighed with an awkward laugh.“Worse? Davis isn’t fit for marriage. I don’t like Morgan, but at least he has some maturity. Davis, on the other hand, was spoiled by Morgan after James died. I can understand Morgan, feeling guilty over his brother’s death, but he shouldn’t have raised J
Chapter 134: Faster Than Expected**A heavy silence filled the room. Morgan stared at Davis for a long time, his eyes dark and malicious."No," Morgan finally replied, his voice firm and authoritative. "She’s not for you."Davis clenched his fists, his muscles tense. He knew something was off."Alright then, but only if you give me a good reason," Davis pondered. "You know... if I decide to go after her, I will. Women are easy to persuade," he remarked indifferently. "You should be content with your new wife, even though Hanna is... what she is! At least she has youth on her side.""I don’t have to explain who I am or what I feel or don’t feel," Morgan retorted. "Besides... when are you leaving?""Come on, isn’t this mansion mine too? Don’t I have the right to stay?" Davis asked skeptically."You ran from your responsibility," Morgan said sarcastically. "I thought you still wanted to have fun.""I would like to, but after getting cheated on..." Davis sighed, sitting restlessly. "How c
