Chapter 55: Lies Don't Last ForeverHanna searched for words to confront Morgan, but suddenly, she calmly considered his question."And if I want to?" she asked, analyzing him. 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! I want to discuss something importan
Chapter 56: A Woman Morgan LikesHanna had eagerly headed to the university. She was excited to see what had changed during the months she had been away from that place. Upon arrival, she felt good as she made her way there, wearing simple clothes and a hat on her head, covering her face and hiding her hair in a bun. She was thrilled to face those crowded corridors."Finally, right?" she heard the familiar voice waiting for her."Hi, Misaluna..." Hanna sighed excitedly, hugging her carefully."Where are you taking me? I want to live dangerously!" Misaluna asked eagerly."Forget that for a while. For now, I want to study," Hanna sighed apprehensively, but Misaluna felt a glimmer of hope."That's great! Your student loan has already been paid off too, I was surprised," Misaluna said."I thought you had something to do with it," Hanna frowned in confusion."No, I even tried, but they said it had already been paid. I asked if they had informed you, but they said no. So, I asked them to do
"How come they found someone to do the tests? Someone with the same disease as my brother?" Hanna asked, staring at them suspiciously. "What if it's dangerous? What if..."The doctor walked over to his desk, rummaging through a drawer, and brought out some papers. Hanna squinted for a moment, hoping it wasn't her brother. She would never allow incomplete testing on him.The professor handed her a copy of the patient's information. She examined it and felt relieved to see that it was a twenty-five-year-old man.She requested all the results from the new studies and began to study each report and note right then and there, pushing away the ghost of jealousy that surrounded her as she recalled the scene.Meanwhile, Morgan was in a pastry shop. It seemed he had a habit of taking women to cake shops. Misaluna ate her slice of cake with delight, as if it were a feast, while Morgan waited patiently for her to finish chewing."Are you going to tell me who is taking care of that boy?" he asked
Chapter 58: In the Laboratory."I’m so sorry..." she said in a hoarse voice, keeping her head down as the papers were now scattered. No one inside had seen it, so she crouched down to hide more and started picking everything up, until she saw under her cap Morgan’s hand displaying his Arnold & Son watch while he picked up the papers. At the same time, she couldn't see his face to gauge his reaction."Who are you?" he asked, and Hanna squinted, thinking about what she could do."Oh! Mr. Farrugia!" Morgan heard the loud, cheerful voice of the specialist, the same one who was Hanna's professor."What’s going on?" Morgan asked calmly but confused, as he approached the professor while Hanna remained crouched on the floor. He held a few sheets in his hands."Remember I told you about one of my prodigy students? This is Miss...""Ane!" Hanna shouted abruptly."Ane?" the professor questioned, confused."Hello! I'm Ane! Mr. Farrugia!" She extended her hand aggressively, keeping her back bent a
Chapter 59: Four Girls of the Same Age?Morgan arrived at the professor's office without even knocking. Hanna was still in the bathroom, stuck in front of the mirror, thinking about how to disguise herself. At least her hair was hidden under the hat, but he could see her face if he tried. Morgan was much taller, yet...He looked around for her until he heard a noise from the bathroom. He alerted his men to stay silent.Hanna walked out with her head down until she saw Morgan's feet. Yes! It was him. She accused him, closing her eyes:"Prodigy girl, isn't it?" he asked as she mustered the courage to approach from the other side of the desk. Morgan tried to observe her under the hat, but her lowered head intrigued him."Good morning, Mr. Morgan, again..." she mumbled, her hands sweating.Morgan stared into her eyes, confused. He had no idea how to handle this girl's reaction. He couldn't see her face, which bothered him, but he had no right to approach and reveal her identity. So, he cl
Cap: 60: Oliver discovers about Hanna.Maya stood up and, pacing back and forth, showed restlessness about her mother's plan.'How can you think about getting pregnant by him? Isn't that going too far?' Maya asked, shocked.'You said you wanted to be with him, right?' Liara retorted.'But you never approved, you wanted to see him unhappy! You think he will be unhappy by my side, don't you? Because he doesn't love me and you still want to force him to marry me.' Maya supposed, feeling hurt by her mother.'Stop being naive, it's not because of that.' Liara laughed. 'One of the clauses in the contract says that if adultery happens and it's proven in the marriage, the betrayed party gets half of all the Farrugia assets. That's a lot!''You're trying to give a good life to this woman?' Maya protested.'She won't have a good life if she dies,' Liara commented, suddenly becoming somber.Maya fell silent, amid the perplexity with what her mother had just said, feeling apprehensive.Morgan, mea
chapter. 61: I am married to the prodigy girl.'We should have suspected,' Oliver said, thoughtful. 'After all, the prodigy girl appeared at the university shortly after you paid off the student loan.''That's right!' Morgan exclaimed, his head still throbbing. 'Hanna asked me for a hundred thousand dollars! She didn’t know yet that I had paid her loan. I heard that the university notified her about the payment that same day, and after that, the girl appeared at the university.''It was right in front of us!' Gantz bellowed, relieved to have solved another case.'Hanna... who would have thought...' Morgan muttered, holding his head in his hands. 'So she’s not just an empty woman interested in money, right?''I suppose she asked you for money for a legitimate reason,' Oliver commented. 'After all, as far as I know, she doesn’t even get paid for the research she does.''Look...' Oliver continued, hesitant. 'I haven’t been at the mansion since the first day I was responsible for taking
Chapter 62: Identity ConfirmedHanna felt as if she had stepped into a nightmare. Without a second thought, she dropped her backpack and ran as fast as she could towards Morgan, who looked at her in surprise. At that moment, she pushed him hard, causing him to stagger back.Instinctively, he grabbed her arm, pulling her down with him, and they both fell to the ground with her on top of him. Everyone passing by noticed the scene and rushed to help them.Hanna's hat had fallen off and landed a few inches beside Morgan. Their eyes met for a few seconds until she covered her face with her hand, not even considering the idea of getting off of Morgan."Another one..." he muttered under his breath as he tried to compose himself, remembering that this was his wife. He looked to the side and saw Hanna's hat while people approached to check if they were okay."What?" Hanna mumbled as she felt something being placed on her head."Miss Ane, get off me. It's enough that I fell hard on the ground,"
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
