I watch him leave and I'm left feeling scared. I keep looking at the news in the newspapers and what they're saying about me is horrible, surely Dad will come when he sees this. What was I thinking? And my father-in-law? Will he be upset because I involved him in this plan? I just asked him to accompany me, I knew he would find them, he had them checked. He must know where Christian is, he has something to locate both of them.

"I won't stay here waiting for the police to come, I'll go to their room, I have to put on a good show, because if they implicate me in Christian's kidnapping, I'm finished. That must be Dad. I take my phone, and yes, it's him. He must have found out everything by now. What the hell was I thinking when I did that?! I take a deep breath and answer.

"Hello."

"Can you tell me what on earth was going through your head to commit such a stupid act?!"

"Dad, let me explain, I didn't do anything, I just accompanied my father-in-law. The rest happened on its own."

    After leaving the hotel, I went to withdraw the money with the card Adele gave me. I had to pay those guys or I would be in trouble. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough money and that she had tricked me. To my surprise, I had more than enough, so I took out a good amount. After settling my debt, I went and bought a few things for the boy and my wife. Of course, I paid with her card.I was almost done when I ran into Eva. I didn't recognize her at first, if she hadn't pulled on my shirt, I wouldn't have noticed. She signalled for me to follow her, and I did because she was someone else who could give me money. We sat in the café on the fourth floor. We ordered a snack, which she of course paid for."Do you have to dress up like that?" I asked her."I don't want anyone in my family to know I'm in the city. Everyone thinks I'm on a cruise around the world. I need your help.""Help you with what? I don't want to get into trouble with the Sardinos. What Adele did to me was enough. Just whe

    Mother, what are you doing here alone? Does Dad know you left? I don't want him to hit you again. If I had a bigger house, I would take you with me.""Thank you, son, but it's not necessary. Your father hasn't been home lately. That's why I wanted to invite you to come spend a few days with me. I just came from seeing Vivian and the child. She told me she has no problems and would talk to you about it.""Where is Dad?""He went on a year-long cruise around the world.""On a year-long cruise? Are you sure about that, Mum?""Yes, son, he sends me photos from wherever he goes.""Why didn't he take you with him?""I prefer to stay here and rest. But the house is so big that I thought of inviting you, Vivian, and the child. That way, I can finally meet my grandson. Say yes, please."I ponder everything my mother has told me. Eva just told me that her family thinks he's on a world cruise. Surely Dad went with her. I know they've been together for a long time, that every time he disappears,

    I wake up and open my eyes without knowing where I am. A young man who seems familiar approaches me, and that's when I realize I have an IV drip in my arm. What the heck? My head hurts terribly, and I feel confused and drowsy. Images of the last thing I remember come to my mind. Was I kissing Adele? That can't be true! Dad set me up!"Christian, Christian," the doctor calls to me. "Let's sit you up so you can fully wake up, you've been asleep for a while. Your wife is very worried, not to mention your sister."As he speaks, he helps me sit up, causing a wave of dizziness. He holds onto me until it passes. He helps me walk to the living room and sits me in a chair. I look around without recognizing anything, then I see my lovely wife coming in and hugging me happily. For some reason, I can't react. What happened to me that I feel so awful?"Chris, you're finally awake!" she says, showering me with kisses. She pulls away when she feels that I don't hug or kiss her back. It's not that I

    On the other hand, Luis went to see Adele after finishing work, and as she had told him, he found the door open. He enters, still unsure if what he is about to do is right. Adele is dressed very provocatively."I thought you weren't coming," she says, stepping forward to kiss him on the cheek very close to the corner of his lips. Luis swiftly grabs her waist and kisses her passionately. When they part, she smiles."Well, you sure know how to kiss. But I didn't invite you over for that," she says."No? Then why did you invite me?" Luis asks."We need to come up with another plan to make money, you were right. What I did was stupid and it cost me the support of my in-laws," Adele explains."I told you, you don't know how to do things properly," Luis replies as he sits down on a chair. Adele pours him a glass of wine."I think you and I could do great business together," she suggests."It's possible," Luis responds, sipping the wine gently as he watches her. He can't shake the image of h

    The worst thing that can happen to a mother is to know that her children are in danger. From that moment on, your heart always beats rapidly. You have to convince yourself that your children are fine. You lose trust in everyone around them. You become obsessive. You believe that the only person who takes care of them well is you.If up until that moment, they occupied ninety nine percent of your daily thoughts. From then on, they take up all your time. Your thoughts. Your breath. You stop being yourself, to become their shadow. That's what I'm going through right now. And even though I see everyone taking care of them. Only when I have them under my gaze, do I truly feel calm.Flashback.The children are very happy because they are going to start school. We have enrolled them in a very good private school.

    "I don't know, Abu, I'm terrified. I have nightmares that my children's hands are being cut off every night.""Bella, I'll say it again. That will never happen! They would have to kill all of us to get to them!""What if I go abroad, to a place where no one knows me?""You're not going to do that! They would be in more danger! I couldn't protect them like I do here!""But Abu, what if we do it right?""Bella, are you going to be running and fleeing for your whole life? Is that the life you want for your children? For them to grow up fearful and scared? Because they will feel and realise what's happening! And that fear you feel will embed itself in their hearts!""No, I don't want them to feel what I'm feeling, Abu!""But it's already happening. Look at them, they don't want to play outside the house! They only look at you, worried and scared. They know something is happening. Children can sense it!"I look at my children, lying on the floor not far from me playing, but calm. Neither o

    After spending the entire morning at the court with the lawyer and going through many procedures, they finally manage to complete the registration of the children under Christian's name. He couldn't calm down until he had all the paperwork done and changed in the national system to reflect his surname. Not content with that, he went with the lawyer and in front of a notary, made them his universal heirs. Isabella protested, saying they didn't need to do everything in one day, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity. He made his wife promise that they would wait until the children were adults to tell them that he wasn't their biological father."At last, Bella, I can't believe it, my children are truly mine now! Thank you, Bella, thank you so much!" Christian exclaimed, holding his children's identities and other papers in his hands, continuously calling all the places that, according to him, needed to know he had two children. Isabella had given up on him, but now, witnessing his h

    Two cars were hidden opposite the Sardino mansion. In another, further away, Eva, in disguise, supervised the operation. They had initially planned to go directly to Christian's house, but after learning that Isabella took the children there every day, they decided to follow her and kidnap all three on the way."I say, Ruan, doesn't this house look familiar from the telly?" asked one of them who had never been to the place before."From the telly? What do you mean by that?""I reckon this house was on the telly. It belongs to the Sardinos.""Which Sardinos? The millionaires?""Yes, those very ones. Are you certain that woman isn't deceiving us? Whose children did she say they were?""Now that you mention it, she's never told us whose children we're nabbing. She just keeps saying the family has enough money to pay a hundred million for them without batting an eyelid. That she'll give us fifty, and the rest will be hers. Are you sure it's the Sardinos'? Haven't they sold it?""I don't k

    Everyone was deeply shaken by what was happening. It was something they hadn't expected."Spare no expense," Mr Thompson interjected, embracing Christian. "I'll give my entire fortune if necessary, but they must return them alive, do you understand? All I care about is saving my grandchildren!""Unfortunately," Grandfather Sardino said, "we haven't yet received any news from the kidnappers. We've alerted all our contacts and police agencies. However, no one knows anything, no one saw anything. It happened in a very strategic location near the house, where there are no traffic cameras. It was fortunate that Bella managed to call before she lost consciousness.""Dad, it looks like the doctors are coming out. Let's go," Santiago said, walking to meet the doctor emerging from the operating theatre. "Well, doctor, how are my daughters?""The operations went well," the doctor began to explain. "Marta had some severe fractures in her legs, but we managed to reconstruct them. Fortunately, the

    It was Saturday, and Christian sat with his family in the living room, sharing happy stories about the children who often stayed with them. Christian's eyesight had improved slightly; he could now see light and some blurry shapes."Hey Chris," his sister called, "why don't we ask Bella to let Lucas and Lucy stay tonight and pick them up tomorrow? It's quite late now. She said she'd bring them after the supermarket, but they haven't arrived yet. It's dark already; perhaps she changed her mind about bringing them.""No, Marta warned me they might be late, but said they'd come even if it took an hour. The children say they have a surprise for me. It's a good idea, though. I'll ask Lucas—he's the negotiator. I don't know where he gets his intelligence from.""Ha ha ha," Mr Thompson laughed. "Listen, dear, did you hear what your son said about not knowing where Lucas gets it from? Don't our grandchildren remind you of those two when they were little?""That's right, love.

    Marta stared at her now-sister for a moment. Bella seemed to go through life without understanding anything, which is why she said, somewhat irritated:"Do you still call her mum? That woman isn't your mum, Bella. Goodness knows who she stole you from!""Look, Marta, even though Dad showed me that paternity test, I don't believe it. And do you know why?""Why?""Because if Eva isn't my mum, then who is? How could Dad not know who my mum is?" Bella asked very seriously and added, "That's why I suspect he wants me on his side against Mum in the divorce mess. That's why he wants me to think I'm not her daughter, so I won't object to him leaving her with nothing.""Bella! How can you believe such a macabre thing about Dad? Listen, and I'm telling you this for Lucas and Lucy's sake! Wake up, because that woman is wicked and capable of doing anything to your children and to us! Dad isn't capable of deceiving you like that. Just look at the way he looks at you and loves you; he wouldn't do s

    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.

    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.

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

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.
