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
Chapter 135: Hands That Caress**Davis rang the doorbell and patiently waited to be answered. He rang it several times until Lory finally opened the door. He stepped inside and found her still in her pajamas, yawning, clearly surprised by his presence as she had just woken up."Grandma Lory... I woke you up, didn’t I?" he sighed, giving her a warm and affectionate hug. "I arrived yesterday, and I want a family breakfast with everyone. So, in half an hour..." He stopped talking when he saw Hanna coming down the stairs. She was already dressed to leave for college, but froze at the sight of Davis."Good morning, Hanna," Davis greeted her cordially, but she tensed up, nearly panicking. He stepped away from Lory and approached Hanna."As my father’s wife, I want to invite you to a family breakfast. I don’t think it’s fair for you to stay in this mansion without any connection to us. That’s why I want to invite you to an important event—no jokes or games. I’d like you to be part of this br
Chapter 136: Davis' Decision**Hanna couldn’t discern who had pulled her into the darkness of the room. She found herself blinded by the sudden change of light, disoriented and unsure of what to expect. When the light flicked on, as quick as a flash, she saw Davis sitting in an armchair. His firm yet calm voice echoed through the room: “Hello... wife Hanna Ortiz.” Hanna turned, her heart pounding in her chest. Davis watched her intently, his relaxed posture contrasting with the tension in the air. “What are you...” Hanna began to speak, but her voice faltered. She didn’t know what to say, what to think. Davis smiled, a light and ironic smile. “I just wanted to look at your face,” he said softly. “I’ve been thinking... what’s really going on between you and my uncle?” Hanna looked away, nervous. “We’re married...” she mumbled, but the answer didn’t seem to satisfy him. Davis tilted his head, his eyes fixed on her. “Yes, yes, you are... but why do I feel like something’s not r
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
