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 63: Thoughts Trapped on HerHe kept his hands in his pockets, not feeling disgust or repulsion, but not feeling entitled to touch her, even though she was his wife."It's ready, you can take her," Oliver entered the lab, informing Morgan, who was still hesitating about what to do.Oliver and Gantz exchanged confused looks, questioning with their eyes."Alright, I'll take her," Morgan said."Are you sure? I can take her if you're feeling uncomfortable," Oliver offered."No, Hanna is my responsibility," Morgan replied, picking her up in his arms. He thought she would wake up, but she was at the peak of exhaustion. He walked through the empty university corridor and into the dormitory hallway. He had requested an empty room, and it wasn't difficult to get one since Morgan was so influential and well-known.He entered the simple room, with a single bed and a bunk bed, and placed Hanna on the bed. She nestled in, appreciating the softness of the mattress, and Morgan smiled at this.
Chapter 64: Feet Under My BedHer friend’s lack of enthusiasm surprised Hanna. Since she was so attached to Morgan, it didn’t seem like they didn’t get along. On the contrary, Hanna could say they were getting along as well as Morgan and Danica.“You don’t seem happy…” Hanna mumbled, moving towards the bed and picking up her phone.“You know… he’s handsome, kind, and from a great family, but I wouldn’t want to marry him.”“You… don’t like him?” Hanna asked while checking her phone and seeing a message from Lory:“Come back home, Morgan is sending men to find you. If he doesn’t find you, he will call the state police to locate you!”Hanna turned pale when she read it.“Misa… we’ll talk later, okay? I have a problem, I need to get this stuff off my face and get ready!” Hanna said anxiously, starting to pace back and forth. This wasn’t her room.Quickly, she went to the closet, grabbed her clothes, and returned to change. Questions still swirled in her head: she wanted to find out who ha
Chapter 65: You Frustrate Me.Hanna struggled to free her foot from Morgan's grasp, half of her body under the bed and the other half out. She straightened her dress and emerged, not knowing what to say, still clutching the box in her hands."Danica?" he asked, surprised when he saw her face flushed with embarrassment. She then stood up, making a brief bow and swallowing hard."Sorry, I didn't mean to..." she tried to speak, but suddenly one of his hands was holding her jawline, and the other was around her waist, pulling her against his body. Her breath hitched, her eyes widening as she stared at his face, not understanding what was happening. His touch was firm, almost possessive, but not cruel. In fact, there was something in his intensity that revealed how anxious he was to have her in his hands. It took her completely by surprise. What was he doing? Had he gone mad?"What are you doing?" Hanna shouted, pushing him away forcefully. "How dare you kiss me with that mouth after spend
**Chapter 66: A Suspicion**"A proposal?" Hanna asked, raising her eyebrows and then laughing mockingly. "What can a man with multiple suitors and who is married offer me?" she questioned, waiting for his response.Morgan hesitated, thoughtful. What he wanted most was right in front of him, at least that's what his heart said, even though his head was about to explode."Things shouldn't be this way," Morgan confessed. "If I had met you before, I wouldn't have thought of fulfilling this agreement in place of my son.""Even if you lost everything?" she asked ironically."I don't care if I have to lose for you," he said with conviction. "Even if it sounds cliché and not my type to say these kinds of things, I can't deny what I feel for you."Hanna was speechless."You're married, but you're proposing that I be with you?" she asked, uninterested."I can't consider this a marriage if it was purely for business," Morgan explained."But you've never been interested in getting close to your w
Chapter 67: Family PhotosOliver pondered for a few moments. "Well..." he sighed, showing discomfort in his voice. "It seems that Hanna's medical condition is recent. The illness might have manifested when her mother died, due to stress. But I'm not a doctor, that's just what they say... People who studied with Hanna said she was one of the prettiest girls on campus, with a good appearance and profile. I heard that some boys from important families were even interested in her, which intrigued me. If she really had the profile of a gold digger, she would have easily married one of those men." "Is one of them Murilo Mota, the ambassador Mota's son?" Morgan asked with disgust. "That’s right. It's purely coincidental. They worked at the same logistics company as the Farrugias and studied on the same campus. I investigated this and thought that the younger Mota had tricked you and tried to get into the company to spy on you. But he was just after your wife. I believe, for him, it's not
