Chapter 47: Intrigue and Jealousy

Hanna quickly changed clothes after a brief shower while Lory watched her with apprehension.

"Do you think he doesn't know it's you?" asked the housekeeper, her voice filled with concern.

"I don't know..." murmured Hanna, apprehensive. "Still, I have to go back to the mansion and come up with some excuse to throw him off."

She went to the wardrobe and opened her jewelry box. From it, she took out a ring and a necklace.

"It's been so long... He always liked this necklace. I should take it to him, so he doesn't feel so alone..." Hanna sighed, holding the small family crest encrusted with five gemstones.

Lory noticed the jewelry and grew curious. Hanna then explained that it was a family heirloom that had been passed down through generations, but she never managed to uncover the story behind this well-guarded family jewel.

She headed for the mansion, but shortly before, Morgan had left his room, restless. He was ready to call Hanna again because his secu

At that moment, Morgan had changed from calm to furious, still irritated by what Maya had done. He felt like a puppet to her, playing with something so serious that it now left him even more hurt."Let me go, Mr. Morgan... this is hurting..." Hanna grumbled."You should have thought before saying things you shouldn't." he asserted suddenly, pressing her against the table to prevent her from backing away."What did I say that was so wrong? If your conduct doesn't match your behavior? Do you think I'm wrong?" she asked angrily."You're wrong to meddle in something that’s none of your business! And if I want to be with any woman, no one can stop me.""I! I will never allow it!" she asserted authoritatively, pushing his hand away forcefully.He looked at her, speechless, as tears welled up in her eyes. Morgan had no idea what was happening with Hanna, why she

She raised her hands to her lips, snapping back to reality."What did you deduce from this, Miss Danica? Are you satisfied?" he asked coldly.Hanna was still petrified when Morgan's expression shifted to one of curiosity."My first kiss..." she pressed her lips together, squinting as if she regretted it, making Morgan raise his eyebrows."I hope you’re satisfied, but don’t be mistaken in thinking I feel anything for you. I've already made sure that you do feel something...""I already said!" she interrupted vehemently. "You’re not the kind of man I’d fall in love with. Besides, I was just testing you, but I didn't think you’d let me kiss you. Why didn't you turn away?" she asked grumpily.Morgan crossed his arms harshly while staring at her skeptically, realizing she was trying to blame him. Suddenly, both fell silent when

He intended to interrogate her, but the security guard went to his room to inform him that she had left the mansion very early and in a hurry. As soon as he heard this, he also left the mansion and headed to the hospital.Hanna went to a café, where she had breakfast while waiting for someone, feeling restless as she looked at the message on her phone."I'll be there in fifteen minutes." The message read, but it didn't identify who it was, whether male or female."Ah... finally..." Hanna sighed when a girl her age entered the café. She wore a large hat to protect herself from the sun and big sunglasses."Hanna Ortiz, you runaway!" grumbled the pale-skinned girl, removing her sunglasses. Her eyes were so blue and clear that one could see through them deeply."Hi..." Hanna sighed, lowering her head."How could you disappear after having to leave college? The

Misaluna watched in panic as the doctors removed everything from the boy, including the necklace she had placed on him.She froze against the wall while Morgan anxiously watched the doctors begin the process of resuscitating the boy."Oh God..." Misaluna whimpered, unable to look until Morgan noticed her there. She felt someone gently hold her arm."You'd better leave now. He’s going to be fine, just wait for the doctors to finish..." Morgan urged, leading her out carefully while she tried to process the situation.As soon as Morgan left her outside, he went back in, and Hanna waved to her. Misaluna approached Hanna stealthily."What’s happening?" Hanna asked desperately."His heart... I saw his heart stop..." Misaluna stammered. Hanna froze, feeling her world collapse on her shoulders.

Still, she had no choice.As soon as they returned to the mansion, he was still pondering the girl he had seen. She wasn't a stranger to him; she definitely reminded him of someone, but at that moment, he wasn't thinking much after the whole desperate situation.Hanna followed him, huddled, while he observed her furtively, trying to ask questions. But there was nothing that could make her speak.As soon as they arrived, he himself opened the door for Hanna to get out. She hadn't even noticed that they had arrived while her eyes were closed.

He staggered into the room, staring at her with a lost look in his eyes.“What are you doing here?” Hanna asked, stepping back as his unsteady steps brought him closer.“I want to stay...” Morgan mumbled, squinting, trying to stay lucid.“What are you saying, Mr. Morgan? Are you drunk?”“I’m tired!” he suddenly asserted, stumbling forward. Hanna placed her hands on his chest to keep him from falling.“You’ve been drinking... why? You shouldn’t be in my room. Come on, I’ll take you back,” Hanna urged, apprehensively trying to grab his arm to lead him out. But even drunk, he hadn’t lost his strength. Hanna kept trying to pull him, placing his arm over her shoulder. Suddenly, Morgan broke free and hugged her from behind.She froze at his action.“What are you doing?”“Don’t make a noise...” he murmured with a slurred voice. “I’m too tired to deal with her invading my room after seeing me like this...” he sigh

It was only five in the morning, and carefully, she slipped out of his arms that were wrapped around her waist, sneaking out of the room. At that hour, no one would see her leave, so she ran to her annex.Lory was also asleep in her room, and Hanna returned to her bed, sinking back into sleep.

I want to sleep!” she exclaimed, still drowsy.“They’re coming!” Lory informed her, distressed. “I went to the mansion to look for you and heard Liara talking to Morgan. It seems he’s coming here with them, but I don’t know why.”“Heavens... ‘They’?” Hanna

He let out a heavy sigh, leaning forward and looking into her eyes, which made her look away."I can think about it..." he replied, sighing and relaxing again."Oh... aren't you going to fight with me for kicking your future wife out?""Do you want me to fight?" he asked indifferently, settling on the couch calmly, placing his hands on his head as he leaned back."No, but I want you to leave. Since I can't go to the mansion, you can't set foot here either, especially when you come thinking you can humiliate me.""Why don't you just be quiet..." he muttered angrily. "I've heard enough today, my stress is above the norm."Hanna then went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water and a painkiller, placing them on the coffee table while he watched her every move."Drink!

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

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?

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

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

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

    **Chapter 161: Ortiz Castle**Hanna decided to go with Lins that same day. Despite wanting to return, she was afraid of facing Davis again and feared he might discover her pregnancy and that she hadn’t lost the baby. "For my child’s life, I’d rather go..." she sighed to herself in front of the bathroom mirror. At that moment, she longed for a peaceful place. At the same time, her brother crossed her mind, but she didn’t know if she should tell Lins about the child’s existence. Even so, she still didn’t fully trust Lins, but he seemed like the safest option to protect herself at that moment, especially since she believed Morgan was now closer to Maya. Morgan had found out which country Lins had traveled to, but it no longer mattered since he was already leaving the country on another aircraft, and Morgan couldn’t track him anymore. After landing, they drove to an old city. With many well-preserved, picturesque old houses, it was a populous place with warm and cheerful people. H

    **Chapter 160: Lins, My Father?**“How is her health?” the raspy, grating voice of the elderly man echoed in Hanna’s ears. “She’s in quite a weakened state,” the doctor explained. “It seems like she’s been neglected for a long time, which has made her frail. She has a cut on her leg that needs attention because it’s deep enough to get infected, but that’s not even the most critical thing. She’s pregnant.” When the doctor revealed this, Lins raised his eyebrows. “Yes…” he sighed, restless. “I heard she’s married to an important man.” “What do you want me to do regarding the child?” the doctor asked calmly. “Nothing. What do you think should be done?” Lins asked, indifferent. “I thought you might want to terminate the pregnancy,” the doctor commented. “I’m not considering that,” Lins replied firmly. “Let her have the baby. After investigating the hospital and the day she was there, I found out that her ‘perfect husband’ tried to terminate the pregnancy without her consent.

The room was in disarray, everything overturned, bed sheets strewn across the floor, and Davis furious as he threw the bracelet with the tracker far away.“How did this happen?” he asked indignantly.“This time...” Rudan sighed, pretending to be anxious about the situation. “It seems she really managed to escape,” he added, as Davis stared at him in rage, circling him.“You never took your eyes off her, and suddenly...” Davis murmured suspiciously.“Suddenly what?” Rudan retorted. “My job is to take care of your security, not play the role of Hanna’s husband while you act like a spoiled brat and womanizer. If you want to throw the blame on me, go ahead! But it wasn’t me who made false promises and mistreated her.”“Damn it! Are you against me now?” Davis asked indignantly.“You seem blind,” Rudan countered. “You’ve been completely oblivious to a life! Hanna was carrying a child
