"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
Chapter 34: Let me take care of your wounds.Morgan exhaled in discomfort, then fixed his gaze on Hanna. Still, in an expressionless way, making her swallow dry.“Why do you ask so much about that woman? he asked coldly.“Well... she's the same age as me, and she has no one else in the world, I believe she also had a very difficult life.” she sighed as Morgan settled into the chair, crossing his arms.“I do not believe this.” he replied with disdain.” Mrs. Ortiz's mother worked in my mansion, she earned well and had all the privileges. And when she was sick, I took care of the expenses myself and she had more money than a common employee. It should have a good economy.“But I never understood why she wanted so much money.” Hanna pondered thoughtfully.” I thought it would be because of her son, but I found out that he had passed away. And when I got to know that girl and her character, I realized that the money was perhaps meant to spoil her, because she is nothing more than an opportu
Cap.35: your body over mine.“I'm fine, there's no need to call the doctor.” she warned then, composing herself and ready to get up.“You're not well, stay there and wait while I call the doctor.” he warned, getting up, taking steps forward and taking out his cell phone to start the call.“No!” Hanna protested, getting up quickly and heading towards him. She stood in front of her trying to take the phone, but as expected, her legs gave out and she staggered, making Morgan also retreat and fall onto the bed with her on top of his body.Hanna's eyes met his in amazement as he remained calm. At the same time, the doctor had answered the call."I'll call you in a little while," he calmly told the doctor, without taking his eyes off Hanna's. "What are you doing?"“ he asked, frowning.“I... I lost my balance... I'm sorry...” she stammered, petrified on top of Morgan's body, who was supporting herself on the bed with her elbows, feeling Hanna's weight on her abdomen.“Honestly, are you sure
Chap.36: You again, doctor?Hanna could barely move, stuck in the position Morgan had put her in on the bed, her feet dangling off the floor. An unnameable sensation overwhelmed her as she replayed the scene in her mind, his arms still around her, the brief contact of their bodies. Everything was so unusual, and all she could do was stare at the ceiling.Morgan entered the room again, noticing Hanna's lost look. She almost didn't notice him."Are you still embarrassed?" he asked calmly, snapping her out of her reverie. She stared at him blankly. Don't think too much about it. Dr. Julius will be here soon."I'm not thinking too much..." she mumbled, squeezing her eyes shut. Maybe you are, since you keep talking."Maybe I am..." he sighed indifferently, her gaze still lost. Hanna watched him, confused.The doctor arrived in less than half an hour, examined Hanna and asked her to lie down after some tests."Wait for the medicine to take effect and take her home. She had an accident in th
Cap.37: A hope for Hanna's brother.“There's a chance, supposedly, but I can't give absolute certainty, as it depends a lot on the patient.” The doctor hesitated to continue.” In many cases, after recovery, people still remain in a coma for a while. In other situations...” He took a deep breath before continuing.” There is a problem.“It is serious? Asked Morgan, apprehensively.“Yes, and you need to be prepared to take that risk now that we are already doing the tests.” The doctor explained.” At one point during the treatment, due to a side effect, the patient will present a problem that will cause a significant worsening of their condition.“Then stop the treatment! Exclaimed Morgan.“It's not that simple.” The doctor calmed him down.” This worsening, in fact, is a good sign, since it is the medicine treating diseased cells and supposedly already contaminated cells. The problem that appears will be combated by the medicine, and the patient may never have to worry about this disease
Chapter 38 persecution of daughter.“Hello, Danica...” muttered Maya, her face twisted in disdain as she analyzed Hanna. She, in turn, imposed an unshakable posture, demonstrating that she was not at all intimidated, even with her sore hip. With slow and steady steps, he walked to the dresser, where he leaned lightly.“Why are you here?” Maya asked with a harsh tone.“The question should be mine, not yours.” Hanna replied dryly.“Actually, you're not welcome here. And as for what you saw this morning…” he paused dramatically, his eyes twinkling with irony, “it was just a misunderstanding.“Oh yes?” Hanna sighed, a smirk forming on her lips.” And what could this misunderstanding be?“As you know, Morgan and I...” Maya began, but was abruptly interrupted.“Morgan and you are nothing!” Hanna assured, looking at her firmly. Maya raised her eyebrows, surprised by the young woman's confidence.“How dare you? Do you really think you have the right to speak in this house? A maid!” he exclaime
Chapter 39: What's next?Lory was the first to appear in the hallway after the commotion, already bringing Hanna's coffee. Right away...“Hanna... I mean... Danica!” Lory corrected herself, biting her lip apprehensively.” What happened?” he asked at the same time as Hanna tried to help Maya.“I don't know, I just woke up... Everything happened so fast...” Hanna sighed, still assimilating the situation.“Don't come closer to me, you hypocrite, mother... It hurts so much!” lamented Maya, at the same time that Liara was already striding down the corridor.“What did you do?” Liara lunged at Hanna, pushing her away from Maya.“But I didn't do anything... In fact, I don't even know what's going on...” Hanna muttered, confused.“What happened?” Liara asked Maya when she saw her arms marked by the hot coffee.“It was her!” Maya shouted, accusing Hanna.” Yesterday we had a disagreement, she misunderstood me and that's why today I thought about apologizing, but she just threw the tray at me...”
Cap.40: Hanna's humiliation.“I want to see how long you will continue with this petulance.” Liara smiled cruelly, her eyes fixed on Hanna over her shoulder.Continuing with her arrogant stance, Liara led Hanna to a locker room, where she handed her a new uniform.“I'm not going to wear that!” Hanna protested, crossing her arms angrily.“Do you have a choice by any chance?” Liara retorted, furious, still holding the uniform outstretched. When Hanna refused to pick it up, Liara grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the bathroom.“Put it on now!” she ordered, her voice full of contempt.” Do you think you have any privileges here? Both Morgan and her aunt left her with me. Morgan didn't care about your situation at all, don't fool yourself into thinking he cares about you. He's there taking care of his fiancée.Liara's words lit a fire of anger in Hanna's eyes. She clenched her fists, vowing to get revenge on Morgan for his betrayal.“I don't mind...” she murmured, resigned, as she
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
