Chapter 95: What No One Could Imagine**As Hanna retreated, Oliver and Gantz entered the annex.“Where is the housekeeper, Lory?” Oliver asked, looking around shrewdly.“She’s already in her room, sleeping,” Hanna said, apprehensive. “How do you know it's me?” she questioned as the men showed caution.“Shall we talk in a more private place, Miss Hanna?” Oliver asked with a mysterious tone, and Hanna pressed her lips together, feeling threatened.“What do you want? I still have to go to the mansion now.”Oliver shook his head.“No, you don’t need to. I know very well what happened between you and Morgan. Do you think this is right?” he asked impartially.“Fine,” she sighed, anxious. “Let's talk in a more private place. There’s an office downstairs,” she said, crossing the large room and heading for a door near the stairs. Walking down a corridor, she reached the second door among the various ones there. They entered the office, where the furniture was still covered with white sheets.“
96: Miss Hanna Ortiz!**Lory observed Hanna beside her, noticing her nervousness and the way she shrank back, clearly unsure of how to make her request.“Miss Hanna, what’s going on?” Lory asked calmly and gently, trying to put her at ease.With a hesitant glance, Hanna finally raised her head and looked at Lory pleadingly.“Lory, I need your help with something very important.”“You know you can count on me, Hanna,” Lory said with an encouraging smile.“Tomorrow, I need to do something crucial in case Morgan comes after Danica.”Hanna began detailing everything she intended to do, seeking Lory’s help. That same night, Morgan waited anxiously for her, pacing back and forth almost until dawn, feeling a tightness in his chest as he had a bad premonition. Then he found the invitation card that Hanna had received from Murilo, picked it up, and read the information about the retreat, the date, and the time.“He wants to take Hanna to a retreat that only has students?” Morgan smiled skeptic
### Chapter 97: Not Pleasant.Morgan sat on the sofa, overwhelmed by a dizziness that prevented him from understanding Danica's sudden absence from the mansion. "Everything was fine, why did she leave?" he asked, his voice heavy with worry and confusion.Lory, with her lips pressed together, hesitated before responding."She said things took an unexpected turn," she replied, lowering her voice and avoiding Morgan's gaze. "She didn't want to become the mistress of a married man, and that everything was a mistake."Lory's words echoed in Morgan's mind, making him relive the moment he encouraged her to drink wine. He put his hands on his head, restless and overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions."Lory, I need to apologize to her," he pleaded, his voice thick with guilt. "I need to see her, please!"Lory sighed, apprehensive, seeing the pain and disappointment in Morgan's eyes."William, I'm sorry," she said softly. "Just as Danica appeared unexpectedly, she disappeared the same way. The
**Chapter 98: Failed Plan**Liara approached Hanna with the intention of intimidating her, but Morgan grabbed her arm firmly. It was the first time he had reacted this way to Liara."Don't you dare interfere in my life, much less speak to Hanna Ortiz, especially after what you did last time. Wasn't that enough?" he asked, his voice tight but controlled.Liara then yanked her arm back forcefully, grimacing in pain. "Do you know what you're doing?" she asked, irritated."You should have limits! You shouldn't go around attacking people for any trivial reason! How long will you keep up this anger?" he reprimanded her firmly."Until the day you pay, because you know very well what you did! I will never accept what you did, Morgan! I will never accept the fact that you walked away unscathed after killing three people! You murderer!" she asserted, and Morgan leaned against the wall, fatigued, closing his eyes tightly."You're guilty! Why don't you just pay? You murderer..." Liara's voice w
**Chapter 99: The Boy Who Sleeps?“What are you still doing here?” he asked, his voice harsh and irritated.“Am I here?” she replied sarcastically, struggling to process the situation as she felt his fingers tightening around her arm. She could barely tear her gaze away from his body until Morgan cleared his throat, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Mr. Morgan!” she exclaimed, pulling her arm away as if pouting.“How dare you touch me, especially when you’re in such an... indiscreet state?” she questioned, while he crossed his arms, making his chest even more prominent. Hanna's gaze wandered, and he raised an eyebrow, noticing her sly smile as she closed her eyes.“Me?” she stammered, her mind blank. “I wasn’t doing anything. I just wanted to tell you I had finished the summary... But when I saw you like this...” she whispered, lowering her eyes, “I... I just gave up.”“Alright,” he replied, his tone short and cold, devoid of any emotion. “Good night.” He turned his back to her, his
**Chapter 100: Wife’s Demands**Hanna faced Maya, stretching a playful smile across her face. Holding onto Morgan's arm, who was watching her with wide eyes, she said:"Sorry, I was waiting for my husband!" She pulled him into the room, leaving Maya stunned on the other side of the door.Hanna led him to the bed and pushed him forcefully, making him fall onto it, bewildered by her boldness. She then rushed to the door, peeking through the keyhole until she saw Maya stomping away, furious after yet another frustrating night."Heavens... will she ever give up?" Hanna wondered, still watching through the keyhole. Suddenly, she noticed Morgan's hands resting on the doorframe around the keyhole."Explain yourself now!" He demanded, his voice calm, showing he was sober."You're not drunk?" She asked, turning around and facing his intense gaze that made her freeze and close her eyes."Do I seem drunk after half a bottle of wine?" he asked, irritated but in a low tone."Sorry, Mr. Morgan, so
Chapter 101: In the Most Difficult Hours."I do whatever I want!" she said without hesitation, her hands trembling."Very well... I see you have at least a bit of sense. But first, you will come with me," Liara ordered. Hanna followed her, not knowing where they were going.They walked down the corridor and descended the same stairs as before. Suddenly, Hanna remembered that Liara had locked her in that place once. She couldn't believe it was happening again but didn't bring it up, just pretending she didn't know. After all, last time, they thought she was Danica.When they exited, Maya and three more servants were waiting for them. Hanna swallowed hard, fearing what was to come. She knew Liara wouldn't let it go after being slapped.Hanna didn't understand when she saw some buckets on the ground near the servants. Only then did she realize it wasn't dirty water."Open the cistern!" Liara ordered.The men took a few steps and crouched down, pulling a large round lid that revealed a ho
Chapter 102: Secrets.Hanna finally got out of bed. Her weak legs trembled beneath her, but she forced herself to take one step at a time, staggering toward Morgan. He was sitting in an armchair in front of the bed, his head tilted back, eyes closed. He looked like a display statue, every detail of his face sculpted by the soft light in the room. It was as if he had been placed there as a work of art, a monument to his beauty and strength.Despite having changed his shoes, Morgan was still wearing the same pants he had worn when rescuing Hanna. The mud splatters were still visible, a reminder of what he had gone through to save her.Her legs, so weak that they gave way under her weight, made her fall to her knees in front of Morgan. She looked at him with apprehension, her eyes pleading for help, as if she were on the edge of a precipice and he was the only lifeline. Hanna’s labored breathing echoed in the silence of the room, but she raised her hands, lightly brushing the rough stubb
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
