"Well, from today onwards we'll run together every day! How's that sound? Would you like that?" he asks."Yes, that would be nice," I say, stubbornly looking ahead. Fortunately, Christie sticks to my left side, and I turn to her as she asks excitedly."Hey Bella, do you like skiing? My brother and I love it!""Yes, I adore it! Marta and I are quite good. We used to go skiing every year on holiday," I tell her enthusiastically. If there's one sport I enjoy, it's skiing. It's not that I love the cold, but skiing is my passion."The children seem to have learned to ski before they could walk. We all love it.""My children can ski?" Christian asks in surprise and then concludes with a smile. "They must take after me. Even in t

I continued conversing with Christie throughout our journey; she divulged everything about Adele, and between what Christian had told me and now my sister-in-law's account, I became convinced that Adele must have been unfaithful. Strangely, I found myself relieved that it had happened because now he is mine. The array of emotions that the very sight of my husband provokes in me is bewildering, especially the possessive thoughts that seem so alien. I scarcely recognise myself.Upon completing our run and arriving at my room, I was greeted by the sight of Christian stepping out of the bathroom shirtless, his hair damp. He was strikingly handsome and alluring. I lingered in the doorway, transfixed and uncertain of what to do next, my heart racing and my body alight with longing."Is something amiss, Bella?" he inquired."No, nothing," I managed to say before retreating into the sanctuary of the bathroom.I shed my clothes hastily, acutely aware of how sensitive my s

He finishes right by my side, and I step back, alarmed, while falteringly asking and trying to explain."What?! Chris, I'm not sure I can! I, I..." I dare not tell him that I know nothing, and that I'm not sure if I can do it."You what, Bella?" he asks, not breaking his intense gaze and moving closer as he licks his lips, while I continue to retreat. Yes, this man is hunting me. I can see it in the gleam of desire in his eyes. He wants to kiss me—Christian wants to kiss me! I panic and almost shout."I've never kissed anyone!"He stops and looks at me incredulously, as if he hadn't understood what I said. I sigh, thinking that this will stop him, but it's far from it. Slowly, a smile spreads across his lips, and he takes a step until he's almost touching me. He leans in until our faces are level and asks,"Never? Will I be your first kiss?" I slip by him to the side and start to explain while he follows and listens attentively, still smiling."We

As he lies next to me on the bed and moves to kiss me again, I panic at the thought of what will happen between us. All I can do is escape and say to him fearfully,"I'm sorry, Chris, you have to give me time to process this!" I repeat, under his expectant gaze, with my heart still racing from my first kiss. Because this truly is my first kiss! "It's not that I don't like you, Chris; it's just that I don't know how to react to all these feelings," I tell him. "Do you understand?"He continues to smile happily, draws me back in, and holds me tightly in his arms, noticing how I haven't stopped trembling with fear. He kisses my forehead, my eyes, my lips and then repeats above them,"Everything is going to be alright, Bella. Trust in me! I'll make you the happiest woman in the world if you let me."He pulls back slightly to look at me, kisses me gently again, softly, allowing me to savour his lips, his caresses. I draw him closer to me, feeling myself getting lost i

"I adore the sea; I could live in it for the rest of my life!" he exclaimed with passion, moving away slightly to let the waves wash over his feet. He stretched out his hands towards me and beckoned. I walked towards him with determination, handed him my hands, and let out a shriek at the coldness of the water. He laughed and hugged me joyfully. After a moment, we walked on in silence, hand in hand, letting the waves lap at our feet.I still couldn't believe his words; he had never shown any sign of affection, or at least none that I had noticed. And if he had, I wouldn't have known what it meant—I'm no expert in these matters. We've been through so much since we decided to be together that there's been no time for anything else. I don't want to get caught up in a fantasy. And right now, my life feels like a fairy tale."No, Bella! It's not about that!" he stated emphatically, and I felt the lump in my throat dissolve. "I've liked you since the moment I

Mr Thompson is seated in his office, reviewing a stack of documents left by his daughter Christie. They're all prepared; he just needs to sign them. He smiles, acknowledging the excellent work she has done. She's very good at what she does, and that fills him with pride. However, it irks him that she would abandon everything just to be with her brother. He muses that even if they were identical twins, they couldn't be closer.Now, who shall he leave in charge of the company to address his son's issue? Could it be true that his son is legally married to the Sardinos' daughter? And those children that were mentioned – whose are they? He can't deny the resemblance to Christian, but when could he possibly have fathered them? She was married at that time, and the children seem to predate the accident. His phone rings persistently; he picks it up upon seeing who it is."Hello." He responds and is happy to hear who he isHe is the head of your security who

The sound of the door slamming open and shut caused him to lift his head and see his wife storm in furiously. It was the last thing he needed, he thought to himself. Pretending to be engrossed in work, he allowed her to approach."We must leave today to help Adele with this problem," his wife stated, visibly agitated."You mean to help our son," he corrected her, for it seemed she was forgetting that he was their priority. "I remind you that it is Christian whom we need to listen to and support.""Darling! That is exactly what I am doing. Adele is the love of our son's life!" she declared, dropping a folder onto the bureau of her husband who watched her with concern. "The poor dear just called me in tears because they say that Christian truly married Isabella Sardino. Do you remember her? That odd little girl, whose acquaintance your father insisted Christian make from childhood, taking him almost every weekend to stay at their house.""I remember her, dear. Sh

Adele anxiously watches the clock in a room on the outskirts of the city. She has arranged to meet Luis Ibáñez, who has promised to bring someone who can help them. However, they are running late, and she needs to greet Christian's parents, who informed her they would arrive that day.Finally, there's a knock at the door. She rushes to open it and is surprised to see him accompanied by a lady who, without waiting for an invitation, strides into the room. Luis follows behind, and Adele shuts the door. She then moves to face the two seated figures, takes a seat herself, and looks questioningly at Luis."This is Eva Giménez Sardino, Isabella's mother," he introduces her, then turns to Eva. "And this is Adele, Christian's former fiancée.""What is she doing here?" Adele asks, her voice tinged with animosity. She despises mothers who are not good to their children because her own mother abandoned her to an abusive father."She wants revenge

Mr. Sardino looks at him very seriously and at the same time handing over the investigation to his son."Son, I don't know why, but I keep suspecting Luis. On the children's birthday, I caught Luis Ibáñez smiling contentedly twice, looking at the worried faces of Bella and Christian. It was as if he was relishing everything that was happening. I don't understand why Christian still keeps him in the company!""Do you really think that good-for-nothing Luis would be capable of such a thing?" Santiago asserts."You also didn't believe he could mistreat Bella, and you saw the beating he gave her! That lad has something rotten in him! I can see it!""Dad, you've always had keen eyesight, not like me," he says thoughtfully. "Perhaps you're right; I too saw him smiling contentedly. Is he being watched?""Yes, he's under close surveillance," confirms Sr. Sardino.Just then, the phone rings. The grandfather answers and begins to talk. He looks at h

Christian lay on his bed after emerging from the bathroom, where he had indulged in fantasies about Isabella. He was seriously considering visiting his psychologist, as he believed his current state wasn't normal. Could he truly not live without her? It had all seemed so real-her body in his hands, how he had plunged into her repeatedly. Was Isabella actually visiting him, remaining silent so he wouldn't realise it was her? Did she know he was blind and accept him as he was?At that moment, the bedroom lights switched on as his mother entered. He sat up abruptly."Mum, I think... I think I saw the light when you turned it on. You did turn it on, didn't you?""Yes, son, I just did. Are you regaining your sight as the doctor said? David... David... come and see Chris, David!""What is it, Mother-in-law?

After all the commotion surrounding Marta and Rodrigo's relationship, everyone in the house is delighted that they are a couple. They hold the young man in high regard and know he is very responsible. They are particularly pleased that he respected her throughout and that, had Marta not essentially won his heart, he wouldn't have pursued the relationship.The following day, Mrs Tania invited Augusto, her lifelong bodyguard, and his wife Leila for lunch. She wanted to quickly formalise Rodrigo and Marta's relationship, as the couple couldn't stop gazing at each other happily. Since Marta's arrival with Isabella, she had initially remained very quiet, and although everyone loved her and made her feel like family, they could sense that she felt inhibited in many ways.Now she is brimming with happiness, constantly smiling and allowing others to embrace her, something she didn't commonly do before. This is especially true after managing to have Rodrigo assigned as her bo

Santiago and his father stared intently at the girls, who were at a loss for what to do or say. Despite her earlier words, Marta had quickly released Rodrigo's hand, and he too seemed unable to react. Isabella looked at her father and, seeing his reproachful head shake, hugged her grandmother, hiding behind her."Seriously, Bella? Are you going to pass your sister off as Rodrigo's girlfriend?" Santiago asked, trying to coax Isabella out from behind her grandmother."Dad, it's not what you think!" Marta stepped forward, attempting to defend Isabella, who was silently pleading for help. "Dad, it's not Bella who's with Rodrigo... it's me!""This is the limit, Isabella," he said, to the astonishment of all three women. "Now you want to pass Marta off as your lover's girlfriend to deceive me?""Dad!" Isabella exclaimed, emerging from behind her grandmother, who was chuckling at the mess unfolding before her.

He didn't know that I couldn't cash the check here. Although, about Eva's money, I think you're right. I remember hearing my father saying that Santiago's company is frozen, because it's going bankrupt. If the Sardino patriarch doesn't step in, he'll be left with nothing. So it's true what you're saying. Where's Eva going to get money from? Although, she might have her own stash hidden away."Now I understand why Eva is so agitated, although it seemed she didn't know. She says she has a good plan, it might suit us, what do you think?""Do you trust her, Luis? I don't like Eva one bit. When have you ever heard of a mother plotting to kidnap her own daughter's children? I don't like that woman, I don't. Let's hear what she's planned. But if we don't like it, we're leaving, agreed?""I don't trust her either, but she's still someone we can get money from, and right now I'm going to cash this cheque Santiago gave me to pay for Luisito's hospital bill, we can't get him out

After rescuing Adele, they had decided to leave the country for good, but to their surprise, upon returning to the house that belonged to Luis' maternal grandparents, they found a surprise. Upon opening the door, there was Vivian and her mother with the child."Mum! Vivian! What are you doing here?" Luis asked, genuinely surprised."We're so sorry, son, but the little one didn't take to the climate and had been unwell since we arrived. The doctor advised us to return to a warmer one. As we had no idea where to go, we came to stay here for a few days, so you could help us find another place. And by the way, as we couldn't send money, we collected them to come with us.""Mum, you shouldn't have done that. Dad found out about everything and he's fuming. You should have called me and explained, I would have sorted everything out from here.""Luis, it's just for a few days.

Marta didn't respond immediately, savouring Rodrigo's warm embrace as he held her tighter and tighter, his heart beating rapidly. In that moment, she said,"It doesn't matter that you did that, I'll talk to Dad, alright?" she assured, pulling away slightly to look at him."I'd rather do it myself, man to man," Rodrigo said, holding her gaze."No!" Marta hurried to say, and added, "Daughters know best. I'll tell Mum to help me, you'll see, she'll convince them. And Bella must have realised by now and she'll help me, do you really want to do this?""Yes," Rodrigo responded firmly, "If you want it too.""Of course I do. And don't worry, if they fire you, I'll hire you, hee, hee, hee... I'll just have to pay you in a different way," and as she spoke, Marta couldn't stop running her hands over the man's well-formed torso. "I've always wanted to do this," she says without stopping caressing him, he takes her by the waist and pulls her close."And I've wanted

They quickly put on their diving suits and dive off the other side, which is impossible for those on the boat to see. Rodrigo has tied Marta to him, who follows him sinking as he indicates. The water in this area is murky, so they can't see very well, so they swim close to each other until they reach the shore. They emerge slowly, releasing the oxygen tanks, and that's when Marta runs and hugs Rodrigo and kisses him. At first, he doesn't respond, but then he returns the kiss. When they separate, she is very flushed and says,"Sorry about that, I was really scared," she says, looking down blushing.Rodrigo just looks at her, then takes her by the hand and they run along the shore, until they reach the road, while he calls Santiago."Yes, sir, we escaped, we're on the road, come for us," he asks without stopping running with her hand in his.They continue walking hand in hand in silence.

On the other hand, Marta is sitting across from Christie, in the office that used to be Christian's."Is it necessary for you to do this, Marta?" Christie asks very seriously."Yes, I'm going to work with dad, I can't stand being here anymore, where no one talks to me and they whisper when they see me pass," Marta states firmly. "Besides, it's for my safety.""Your safety?" Christie asks, intrigued."Yes, I have a madman chasing me," Marta confesses, knowing she can trust Christie as she stands up. "Thanks for everything, Christie. When I finish writing the story of my sister and your brother, I'll bring it to you to publish. Say hello to Chris for me, a kiss, if you need my help with anything, just call.
