My fiancé ran away, I married his father *1: marriage without a groom?
**Chapter 1: Wedding Without a Groom?**Hanna stood on the brink of a significant milestone in her life, although it wasn't exactly by her own choice. An arranged and hurried marriage was far from the romantic scenario she had always dreamed of. Yet, given the circumstances, it was the only option she had to get what she needed at that moment.That morning, Hanna had already received everything she needed to prepare for the wedding. A legion of servants was at her disposal, ready to attend to her. She wondered why all this apparatus was necessary for a marriage that, in the end, was only to fulfill a contract."All this expensive clothing and dedication to make me presentable makes me wish my marriage was with someone I love. After all... why put in so much effort and care into planning something that's false?""One day when this agreement ends... if I think of getting married, I'll never be able to overcome the impeccable organization of the Farrugias. I didn't even have to move for
My fiancé ran away, I married his father * 2: Agreement with the groom's father.
**Chapter 2: Agreement with the Groom's Father**Morgan walked to the balcony of his second-floor room, staring disdainfully at the number on his cell phone screen. He hesitated several times before making the call. He could barely stand to hear Hanna's voice, especially since he had witnessed firsthand what that family's illness could do to a person. Even though it wasn't contagious, it was unsettling to observe and deeply regrettable.Hanna answered the phone immediately."Hello, Mr. Farrugia?" she asked anxiously. "I thought you were sending a car to pick me up. There's less than half an hour until the wedding! Why are you taking so long?"Morgan swallowed hard, his gaze lost."Miss... Ortiz," he cleared his throat lightly before continuing. "Unfortunately, we'll have to postpone the wedding."Hanna furrowed her brow, confused, as she stared at herself in the mirror, all dressed up. She could hardly believe it."I disagree! This wedding cannot be postponed! If so, then... how will
My fiancé ran away, I married his father 3: My Disfigured Bride**
**Chapter 3: My Disfigured Bride**Morgan stepped out of his room to find the entire family gathered, anxiously awaiting news. As soon as he mentioned the agreement with Hanna, that he would be the temporary groom until his son returned, a deathly silence fell over the room. His ex-mother-in-law, her face twisted in disapproval, was the first to speak out."You made me a promise, Morgan! You can't just break it now. Don't you dare get involved in a new relationship, especially of this magnitude, after everything you've done in the past!" she grumbled, vehemently reprimanding him. "William Morgan!" she suddenly asserted, gripping his suit collar. "Don't you dare renounce your promise! You deserve nothing but the life you have!" she growled, releasing him forcefully.Morgan stepped back, rubbing his throat."I'm not doing this willingly. Ever since my grandmother made this damned marriage agreement, we've all been trapped in this hell, eagerly waiting for this day. Do you think I'm happ
My fiancé ran away, I married his father 4: finally married.
4: Finally MarriedHanna positioned herself beside Morgan, keeping a distance so that neither of them would touch. The atmosphere was tense and silent among the people; it felt more like a funeral than a wedding. The only thing breaking the silence was the sound of camera flashes taking photos as evidence to fulfill the requirements of the will.As soon as the justice of the peace's standard speech ended, both confirmed their desire to marry and signed the papers, joining them in matrimony."Are you satisfied, Mr. Grumpy?" Hanna asked without looking at him."For now, Mrs. Ortiz. Enjoy the buffet. No one will bother you until it's time to leave.""Sure!" she muttered sharply, turning her back on him and heading to a distant table in the banquet hall.As soon as Morgan moved away from Hanna and towards the other guests, his ex-mother-in-law interrupted his steps."Is she really that ugly?" she asked, now mockingly glancing at Hanna."You're enjoying seeing my life turn into hell, aren'
My fiancé ran away, I married his father 5: Life is unfair to Hanna.
**Chapter 5: Life is Unfair to Hanna**"If that woman comes to this place, she must stay in the annex and not frequent the mansion!" she asserted. Morgan sighed impatiently."Are you afraid that I might give her a chance?" Morgan smiled skeptically."That's not it. After all, it would be hard for you to stay in a woman's life after what you did to my daughter's and grandson's lives. That's why I know if you take the risk, you'll just ruin more lives."Morgan sighed heavily, swallowing his words without arguing with her."Think what you want; if that's the case... you're right then.""Of course I am.""When will you be able to forgive me for that? Are you going to torment me for my entire life? Will you never let this heal?" he asked, distressed."Never! Morgan... neither you nor I will have peace with this!" she confessed, pressing her lips together with bitterness.He stared at her without reaction, adjusting his tie at the same time. Despite being a much larger man than Liara, who w
My fiancé ran away, I married his father *6: Morgan's decision.
Ch.6: Morgan's DecisionMorgan ordered some security guards to gather information in Hanna's neighborhood. The search was futile until they interrogated the last person who had seen Hanna; they learned that she had gone somewhere else and that she was okay.Morgan visited Hanna's house accompanied by his mother. Both stood in front of the ruin, walking among what was left, finding even traces of the wedding dress, documents, and Hanna's belongings."It looks like someone was trying to kill her, don't you think?" Abigail asked."Definitely," he confirmed, apprehensive. "But this is really bad. I have to keep this marriage for at least three years, and we barely managed twenty-four hours.""True, like it or not, it will be better to keep her under our nose; otherwise, our family will sink with her.""But we still have to find out where she is.""Couldn't you call her?""I did, the lawyer did too, but she doesn't answer," he commented, restless. "There's nothing here, let's go home now."
My fiancé ran away, I married his father 7: security guards go to get Hanna*
**Ch.7: The Security Guards Fetch Hanna**At noon, after her shift, Hanna sat in the cafeteria, opening the email Morgan had sent her. A skeptical laugh accompanied each line her eyes scanned. The supposed assassination attempt he referred to served merely as a pretext for a list of impositions that ultimately catered to his own interests.Hanna would live in the Farrugia mansion, but not exactly in the same house as the Farrugias. An annex, like a second separate house, was her designated place. Access to this part of the property was through another door, completely independent of the main entrance. To see any family member, Hanna would need to leave the annex, cross the garden to the main entrance, and request permission."What does he want? To keep me a prisoner?" she questioned herself skeptically with every line she read. "Having to keep hiding my face... Well, that won't be bad. This way, I'll avoid him developing any interest in me." She sighed thoughtfully, briefly recalling M
My fiancé ran away, I married his father **8: cunning is my middle name.
**Ch.8: Cunning Is My Middle Name**As soon as the car stopped, she hopped out, heading towards the pharmacy. No one knew what the uniformed girl with a cap covering her face was planning, but her mischievous smile was evident."Bandages, ointments, protectors... Gentian violet and..." She hesitated for a moment before asking for the harmful pink substance.With a grin from ear to ear, the bouncing girl returned to the car. The security guards informed Morgan about the stop at the pharmacy and the route taken, while Hanna discreetly applied a white ointment to her face, creating white spots that covered something.Excited, she sighed upon arriving at the place that reminded her of her unhappy marriage. Suddenly, Murilo came to mind. Deep down, she felt guilty for rejecting him, but she was already married, with no options. Although she considered him a good prospect for the future, it would be unfair to leave him waiting while she fulfilled the agreement.After passing through the larg

Chapter 170: They See, but They Do Not Find."But when Morgan couldn't find her anymore, a wave of panic took over him with the feeling that he had seen that woman before.'Where is she?' he asked the doctor passing by, but the man simply looked at him with a confused expression. Morgan continued walking through the hallways, growing more desperate. Meanwhile, Hanna, hidden behind the nurse’s station, listened to his search with her heart racing.She had discovered that the boy wasn’t truly awake but was in a state of hypervigilance induced by a medication that should have put him to sleep, but nothing else was working. A problem had occurred during the treatment, and the doctors couldn’t control him anymore. The news made her even more uneasy.Hanna decided to seek out her old professor again, the only one who could give her more information. When she found him in his office, she got straight to the point.'Professor, can you tell me the situation with the boy?' she asked, concerned.

Cap. 169: So CloseHanna heard Morgan’s cheerful voice as Haniel celebrated, her heart pounding in her chest. She adjusted the surgical mask and cap, trying to stay out of Morgan’s sight. With every word exchanged between the two, a new wave of emotions overwhelmed her.“Do you remember?” Morgan asked the boy enthusiastically as the nurses handed out gifts. “Today, you’re going to stand up and walk on your own, without anyone’s help!” he announced, beaming with pride.Hanna discreetly watched the scene, her gaze fixed on Morgan and Haniel. When she heard Haniel call Morgan “Dad,” it felt like the world was spinning around her.“Dad?” she repeated to herself, incredulous. Her breath faltered, and she pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.She saw Haniel, fully recovered, walking toward Morgan as if they were close. The boy, his skin marked by the scars of his illness, looked stronger and happier than ever. The sight left her speechless.“Welcome back,” a soft voi

Chapter 168: Before Seeing YouAs soon as she entered the room, Hanna sat at the edge of the bed beside Luna, who kept her eyes closed, seemingly resting. Mr. Ford excused himself, leaving her alone with her friend. Hanna observed Luna in silence, taking in her frail state and the marks of illness on her face.“Truly…” Hanna sighed, her eyes filling with tears.Luna weakly opened her eyes, surprised and moved to see her friend.“Hanna…” Luna whispered, her voice trembling.“Luna…” Hanna whispered back, leaning forward and pulling Luna into a tight embrace. The two friends clung to each other in a heartfelt hug, a reunion that meant everything to both of them.“I thought you wouldn’t come back…” Luna said, her voice tearful, still weakened by her illness.“How could I not come back? You’re my best friend… and I made you a promise…” Hanna murmured, her emotions spilling over. “I’ll take care of you from now on. I’m sorry for leaving you to suffer for so long.”Luna pulled away slightly,

Chap. 167: Back in Town“Hanna!” Luna repeated her friend's name, her voice choked with emotion as her father entered the room, intrigued by his daughter’s agitation.“Hanna? Did she show up?” he asked, anxious for news.“Wait…” Luna whispered faintly to her father, asking for a moment of privacy.On the other end of the line, Hanna finally spoke:“Luna, I’m back in town. We’ll see each other soon. I’m still at the airport, so… once I find a place to stay, I’ll visit you.”“You’re already here? Oh my… I didn’t even know you were away! Come to my house, then. My brother has been so worried about you.”“No! Don’t tell Morgan anything,” Hanna ordered firmly. “Look… if you keep quiet, I’ll help you get better. But if you tell him, I can’t do anything but leave again.”Luna pressed her lips together, anxious about Hanna’s condition. She then let out a heavy sigh, looking weakly at her father, who silently nodded in understanding, signaling that she should obey.“Alright… come to my house.

**Ch. 166: Each Life** The next day, Gabriel accompanied Hanna on a tour of the places mentioned in the will she had inherited. However, there was still one place she dreaded visiting—the hospital room where her father lay. Despite her reluctance, Hanna knew she had to see him, understand his condition, and decide what to do. "Do you really want to see him?" Gabriel asked hesitantly as they stopped in front of the door to the room. Hanna remained silent, her head bowed, displaying apprehension and sorrow. Her emotions were conflicted: she didn’t want her father to die, yet she harbored deep resentment for his actions. "I just don’t want him to die," she admitted, her voice thick with emotion. "It wouldn’t be fair to strip so many people of their freedom for years and then just die like that." "He’s an old man now," Gabriel offered, trying to console her. "Still filled with malice..." Hanna smiled, but it was a disconcerted and melancholic smile. "Can you imagine he wante

Chapter 165: Freedom and Punishment Ruby didn’t understand what Hanna meant. She stood up and left again, demanding a phone from one of the soldiers. Her hands trembled like a green twig with everything that was happening. As she made the call, anxiety consumed her. “Office...” “Gabriel!” Hanna stammered, cutting him off before he could respond. “Hanna! How are you? Where are you?” He stood up, surprised, stumbling over his words. “I need you to solve a problem for me, right now,” she pleaded, anxious. “Hanna, how did you even manage to call me? What’s going on?” he asked, concerned. “Morgan is already getting sick from searching for you...” “No! I don’t want you to tell him where I am or how I’m doing,” she warned hesitantly, massaging her stomach. Suddenly, she remembered Morgan’s words about having children. “Alright... just tell me where you are, and I’ll be there by tonight if possible.” “Can you get here by tomorrow morning? My... grandmother... sister... aunt... I’m no

**Cap. 164: Control is Mine.**She, filled with curiosity, opened the bedroom door and realized that the men had followed Lins. This further reinforced her suspicions. Carefully, she went down the stairs and began to wander aimlessly through the house's labyrinths until she heard screams and pleas for help.Hanna followed the noise and found the two guards dragging Heydi and Ruby. Her heart raced uncontrollably in her chest. What would she do? She watched Lins following behind the men as they took her grandmothers to some unknown place.They continued down to an underground area, an old stone corridor, damp and dark. The wet walls made the place feel even more frightening. Finally, they reached a room with prison bars on the door. Through a small window, Hanna could see what was happening inside.“Get the whip!” Lins ordered furiously.“Please…” Heydi whimpered in panic, kneeling on the floor beside Ruby, who kept her head down.“You had to break the rules and tell him, didn’t you?” L

**Chapter 163: The Mask Falls**Maya turned the doorknob fearfully, and as soon as she entered, she found Liara sitting motionless on her bed, her hair disheveled. She looked like a madwoman who hadn’t slept in days.“Mother...” Maya called cautiously as she approached, but Liara didn’t respond. “Are you okay?” she asked, extending her hand to try to touch her mother’s shoulder. Suddenly, Liara stared at her furiously.“Traitor!” Liara screamed shrilly, then stood up and rushed at Maya, who backed away, terrified.“Calm down, mother, it’s me!” Maya stammered.“I want you to die! Die! You and your cursed child!” Liara raged, clutching her head and messing up her own hair before grabbing a water pitcher from the desk. Maya, panicked, realized her mother’s intention and ran out of the room, still hearing the glass shatter against the door.Maya collapsed to the floor, her legs trembling, hands covering her face in horror. She then crawled away from her mother’s door, retreating into her

Chapter 162: Everything in My Hands?As soon as the two women introduced themselves, Hanna was surprised, not knowing they existed.“What’s going on here?” she asked, confused.“We don’t have much time to explain,” Heydi said anxiously. “But do you remember how you were raised here?”Hanna shook her head in denial.“Girl... you don’t remember because you were on controlled medication when you were younger. Lins lied to your mother, saying you had a disease due to congenital problems.”“Me? But I don’t have any health problems,” Hanna said, thoughtfully.“Yes... Lins made up that lie just to keep you locked up until you turned eighteen and could serve his plan,” Heydi explained. “I thought you were free from this torment, but it seems he never stopped searching for you.”“What are you trying to say?” Hanna asked, growing more confused.“That... we are all daughters of Lins,” Ruby revealed. “There is no other lineage in our family apart from his.”Hanna instantly understood what she mea
