**Chapter 26: Morgan Finally Discovers Hanna**While keeping her attention fixed on Morgan's office balcony, Lory sat next to Hanna, who now seemed quite quiet and disheartened."You seem to have your thoughts far away, Miss Hanna," Lory commented, seeing the girl sigh deeply."I've been thinking about some things I've seen and about some unanswered questions.""If I can help...""Maybe... What I'd like to know is about Morgan and his ex-mother-in-law. Why does she continue living in this house? It seems no one likes her.""Well, it's true that no one likes her, but we have no choice. She is the wife of a very important man in the city, and it's the same man who allows Morgan to finance important research and make necessary acquisitions.""But what Morgan does is good, right? Or is it something illegal?" Hanna asked, confused."Hanna, everything Morgan does is legal and has records, but... he knows that everything can be altered and falsified, and even his research can be sold, and he
**Chapter 27: Hanna and Morgan Converse CivillyMorgan couldn’t contain his surprise upon seeing the girl's face. At the same time, he was speechless."Your niece?" Morgan asked, frowning."Yes..." Lory confirmed with a sigh."But I thought you were alone. How do you have a sister now?""She's a recently discovered sister with a beautiful daughter. I didn't know I had one, but I'm so happy that Dad had another daughter besides me." Lory spoke with an ironic tone. "And it's so good to have someone to talk to. I was feeling lonely in that annex since Hanna doesn't like to talk much with me. So, I decided to invite my niece." She continued speaking while Morgan remained silent, following her to the girl."Lory... what are you doing?" Hanna thought, closing her apprehensive eyes. "Drag him to hell, not to me, Lory!" she screamed in her mind with such force that her heart raced aggressively with each second he and Lory got closer."Mr. Morgan, this is my niece Danica. If you don't mind, I'd
**Chapter 28: Does My Husband Have a Lover?**"I’ve heard some things about you," Hanna said coldly, her eyes fixed on Morgan."I imagine it wasn't anything good, coming from that woman." He shrugged, pretending indifference. "But your aunt knows me very well. You shouldn't be swayed by the words of someone who knows nothing about me or my life.""It's true that the only thing that woman wants is your money," she commented coldly, observing Hanna's reaction.A skeptical smile formed on Hanna's lips."Of course, Mr. Morgan. You're right. She’s a greedy woman with no values. I hope you can separate from her as soon as possible."Morgan felt satisfied with Hanna's response."I'm glad you don't let yourself be influenced by that woman's words."Hanna ignored him, hiding a playful smile. He still hadn’t recognized her, which gave her a flood of wild ideas."Well, I’ll go back to the annex now, Aunt Lory and Mr. Morgan," she announced indifferently."No!" Morgan exclaimed. "From today on, yo
Chapter 29: Hanna Realizes Her Feelings**Even though she didn’t want to, her body was weak, and she felt her eyelids so heavy that she could barely open her eyes. But she could feel someone carrying her in their arms.“Call the doctor to examine her,” Morgan announced as he headed toward the mansion’s entrance.“Let a security guard carry her!” Liara ordered, but Morgan ignored her request as Lory anxiously followed him.“Mr. Morgan, take her to my room; I can take care of her there, please!” Lory pleaded, distressed.As they followed Morgan, Maya stopped before entering, holding her mother’s arm, who looked at her confused.“Who is this woman? You didn’t mention there was someone else here, let alone someone so young,” Maya commented apprehensively.“It was a surprise for me too,” Liara confessed.“It seems Morgan feels something for her. Did you notice the way he looked at her when I arrived, as if he had to explain something?” Maya asked, pouting.“You’re overthinking. I’ll observe
Chapter 30: A Silent Attraction**"No, that's not his wife, but her twin sister, Maya," Lory clarified. "And let me tell you, she’s after Morgan.""When he was married to Mia, Maya always tried to take advantage of him," the housekeeper explained, and Hanna clenched her fists, overcome with a wave of jealousy. "She’s a complicated type, and you shouldn't let her get close to Morgan at all.""Lory... I may not be worthy of being married to him, but I won't allow him to betray me either," Hanna’s voice was firm, filled with determination. "I didn't get married to watch him have fun with others. Morgan won’t have an easy path to that woman.""That’s right! Don’t let your husband fall into another’s arms," Lory encouraged her, admiring her strength. "It’s good that you’re a strong woman, Hanna. I hope everything can be resolved soon.""There’s nothing to resolve," Hanna retorted with a hint of irony. "I just want the time to pass so I can be free. Or maybe I'll change my mind if Morgan fal
Chapter 31: Hanna Declares War on Maya**Hanna watched anxiously, noticing Maya's slow movements as she attempted to press her lips against Morgan's, who did not react. Hanna glanced around as if searching for something until she found a slipper."There's something you don't know about me, William Morgan, you traitor! I have perfect aim!" she declared to herself, aiming at Maya and hurling the slipper with force, striking Maya’s head hard."Ouch..." Maya protested, feeling the pain as Morgan helped her up, looking around to see where the slipper had come from. But Hanna had already hidden behind the curtains, though he knew it had come from the balcony where Hanna had been."Are you alright?" Morgan asked, examining her forehead with a red mark on the side."It hurts a lot. Who threw this at me?" Maya asked dramatically."I don't know..." Morgan sighed, picking up the soft pink velvet slipper while glaring suspiciously at the balcony."Do slippers usually fly? Or was it someone who doe
Chapter 32: Morgan and His Suspicions**"Are you alright, Miss Danica? You seem unwell," Morgan commented, studying her with concern."Yes, I’m feeling very..." Before Hanna could finish her sentence, Lory shoved her forcefully out the door, causing her to lose her balance. Hanna leaned on Morgan, who caught her in his arms. She felt his hand hover over her waist before he pulled away. Both of them heard the door slam loudly, and Lory disappeared."Well..." Morgan muttered as Hanna jumped back, distancing herself. "Whatever you were going to say, your aunt clearly disapproved," he remarked as she smiled awkwardly."Let's go," Morgan continued. "The first place I thought of taking you is for breakfast. Consider yourself privileged; I haven’t taken anyone to that place in years.""Then it must be quite special," Hanna commented, hopeful."Yes, indeed.""And do you think it’s appropriate to take me?""You fit in perfectly there. You don’t seem like a wild girl," he observed, eyeing her cu
"Chapter 33: They Might Seem Like a Couple.""I'm surprised you turned out so well, given the childhood you had," Morgan remarked, breaking the awkward silence that had settled in the car."Well... I didn't have a bad childhood, Mr. Morgan," Hanna replied with a gentle smile. "I had someone who loved me, and that's all that mattered. But if you want to know why I'm at your house, why I snuck in," she asked, her eyes gleaming with determination, "it's because I have no money, no story, and nowhere to go! But you have every right to send me away."Morgan observed her in silence, intrigued by her frankness and resilience."You don't seem unhappy about it," he commented, a note of surprise in his voice."Mr. Morgan," Hanna said with conviction, "despite the bad things, I don't want to stop being happy. If there's still a glimmer of light, I'll chase it and fight for it until the end. I don't want the bad things in my life to affect my happiness." She paused, her eyes locking onto his. "You
