Married for Inheritance-Divorced for Freedom

After the little family left Grandfather Martin's house, Hannah was furious with Martin for giving her a hard time. She couldn't hold back the truth any longer. "I am your prized daughter-in-law, Samantha," she said to herself. Just wait until you discover the truth. On the way home, Ethan begged Darrian to invite the twins to sleep over. Darrian seized the opportunity and asked Hannah if he could have the twins for the weekend. He planned to take them to Lego Park on Saturday. The boys would surely enjoy the adventure, and he wondered if Becky would also.

Hannah reluctantly agreed, saying it was okay to send the kids over. The boys would stay in one room while Becky would have the guest room.

Soon enough, Charmaine called to pick up Ethan as usual for their Friday night pizza, hoping for a sleepover herself. Darrian informed her that he had plans with Ethan that weekend. Charmaine arrived at the house anyway. When she discovered Becky in the guest room, her anger flared up. She asked herself, what now? Is he having a sleepover with Lady Rose's children? She called the housekeeper and demanded that all her things be removed from that room and placed elsewhere. She felt she was slowly being replaced, and she did not like it. The tension in the house was palpable, with emotions running high as the dynamics within the family continued to shift and evolve. Charmaine left with a huff and puff!

That night, while the boys were playing. They suddenly heard some noise. They looked around and could not find anything. Immediately after the noise, they heard haunting music playing. Ethan sat still, and his eyes became dark as he sat trembling. He whispered to Ray, "The eyes were watching me." His brother hugged him, but he screamed, and Darrian ran to the room. Ethan was pointing and stammering. "The eyes, Dad!" Darrian could not believe his son was having the meltdown again after four years. He would have to take him back for a psychiatric evaluation. Ray hugged his brother and said. "Don't worry, Ethan. Mummy knows how to deal with monsters. If she were here, Mum would make them run away. Becky ran to find out why Ethan was screaming. Ray explained what happened to Becky, and she patted Ethan and said, "Mum will fix this. Don't worry, Ethan,"

Princess Becky called her Mum when she returned to her room and told her mom what had happened to Ethan. She said, Mum, you have to help my brother get rid of that monster." Hannah told her she would. Then Hannah sang her a lullaby, and she was nodding her sleepy head in no time. When her daddy came to put her to bed, she was sound asleep. He pulled the covers over her and kissed her soft cheeks.

Darrian then took the boys to his room. When Ethan quieted down, he read them a story and tucked them in. Darrian then called Hannah and told her about the incident. Hannah wanted to know if this was a recurring situation, but he said Hannah it had happened in the past, and that was why Charmaine came to sleep over to help Ethan get rid of his monsters. After Darrian's conversation with Hannah, he blew her soft kisses and slept on the sofa while studying.

On the other hand, Hannah had many thoughts pondering in her head. For one, she knew how devious her step-sister could become. She would have to find some way to deviate from children's lives.

The children had a great time at Lego Land and wanted to return for another trip. After a beautiful day, the weekend's highlight was the journey to Lego Land, and the monster was forgotten. Darian took the children home the following day, and then Darrian and Hannah visited Martin. They sat down with Martin to address the delicate matter of the name change. Darrian took a deep breath and began, "Grandfather, I need to tell you something important. Ray is not my biological son, but I will adopt him." Martin's eyes widened in shock, his anger palpable. "What do you mean, Darrian? How could this be?" Darrian explained the circumstances of Ray's birth, how Hannah had raised him as her own, and how Hannah had been the loving and devoted caregiver to both twins all these years. Martin's fury simmered as he processed this revelation. "We cannot have one twin without her father's surname," Darrian finally said, his voice tinged with disappointment. "When I discuss the legalities with Hannah, we will get back to you," Darrian assured his Grandfather they would rectify the situation.

Later that day, Darrian and Hannah went out for lunch to discuss their family matters privately. Unbeknownst to them, Charmaine had hired a private investigator to follow them, hoping to uncover dirt on their relationship. Photos of Darrian and Hannah entering the Penthouse building were swiftly sent to Martin as supposed proof of their intimate connection.

Despite the looming threat of Charmaine's interference, Darrian and Hannah remained focused on their conversation. They delved into the complexities of their past, their shared journey, and the challenges ahead. Their undeniable chemistry sparked as they talked, a silent promise of a future together hanging in the air.

They had decided the Pent House was the best place to spend quiet time together. When Darrian and Hannah reached the elevator, their tension was palpable. They were risking everything for this moment, and the room seemed to ignite with their desire. Darrian was consumed by his longing for Hannah, unable to keep his hands off her. They enjoyed moments of passion and togetherness. When their desires were satiated, they lay on the bed, whispering sweet nothingness to each other.

"I'm still upset with Martin," Hannah confessed, her voice filled with emotion. Darrian's heart clenched at her words, his concern for her evident in his gaze. He stayed silent, waiting for her to continue.

She continued, "He is willing to give Becky the Wright family name?" Darrian's heart skipped a beat with anticipation. He would do anything to show Hannah his commitment, even if it meant altering his family legacy. But he didn't want to rush her into anything, so he waited for her cues. "You could add Becky to your family register," Hannah suggested, her eyes searching his for his reaction. Darrian nodded, feeling a surge of love for this woman who had reentered his life and turned it upside down in the best way possible.

A heavy question hung in the air as they lay together in the afterglow. Hannah's heart ached for her baby, Ray, but she couldn't find the words to bring him up. Would Darrian be willing to accept Ray as his own? After what seemed like an eternity, Hannah finally gathered the courage to ask, "What about Ray?" Darrian's heart raced as he considered the implications of including Ray in their newfound family. If the other two children were Wrights, would Ray also become one? Darrian hugged Hannah with a wide smile. He said Becky and Ray were called twins since the children were babies. It would be odd if they had a different experience, including the shared

name.

The answer to that question would change everything. Darrian and Hannah knew they had a long road ahead as they navigated the complexities of their past and the uncertainties of their future together. Darrian told Hannah, Of course, Ray is part of our family, and I would adopt him and treat him like my own. He will also be a Wright if you have no objections.

After settling the twins' last name issue, they left the penthouse in a great mood. Darrian and Hannah returned to work hours after they left. They knew they had to inform the children about this new arrangement immediately. When they reached their office, Darrian called Grandfather Martin. Darrian reported they agreed, so Martin advised them to hurry up and get the children's names in the registry under Wright's surname. Then he asked an unusual question. "When will you stop sneaking about with Hannah?” Darrian refused to entertain his Grandfather; he was being nosey in Darrian's private life once again.

When they got home that night, they gathered the twins around the kitchen table. Darrian and Hannah explained that their new surname would be Wright and that they belonged to the Wright family. The children nodded in understanding. Becky spoke up, asking what would happen if Ray's dad wanted him back. Darrian reassured her, saying Ray could change his name or have two surnames.

Afterwards, they quietly ate dinner, each lost in their thoughts. Darrian and Hannah took the twins to wash up and tucked them into bed. That night, the twins requested to hear Hansel and Gretel's story, wanting to hear how the father was reunited with his children. The children drifted to sleep as the tale unfolded, leaving Darrian and Hannah chatting softly, snuggling up on the couch.

The couple knew navigating the web of family dynamics, secrets, and external threats would test their bond. But as they faced each challenge head-on, their love for each other only grew stronger, setting the stage for the next chapter in their tumultuous yet captivating love story.
