Mr Thompson pocketed his phone, waiting to see who was arriving in the car. He didn't recognise any of the people who got out and approached him.

“Good afternoon,” the stranger greeted.

“Good afternoon," Mr Thompson returned the greeting and asked, “Who might you be, if I may ask, and what do you want at this house?”

“Néstor Guzmán is my name,” the newcomer replied, adding, “I'm Adele's fiancé, and I was told she would be waiting for me here at this house.”

“I beg your pardon? Adele's fiancé? And why on earth would she be in this house?” Mr Thompson asked, realising this must be the man to whom his former daughter-in-law had been sold.

“And who are you?” came the reply to his question.

“I'm Thompson, father of the owner of this house, Christian Thompson, who was Adele's ex-fiancé. He's now happily married to Isabella Sardino and has two

    Christie observed the smiling man in front of her with a serious expression. She glanced at her personal bodyguard, who nodded and left to carry out her instructions."Please, Mr Néstor, come into my office," she requested politely.She opened the door, allowing him to enter before following him in and leaving it open. She sat behind her desk and called her secretary, asking her to bring some refreshments for the gentlemen. After settling in, she looked him directly in the eyes and asked, "To what do I owe this visit? If you've come to discuss your fiancée, I'm afraid you've wasted your time. I know nothing about her.""I haven't come to talk about Adele," he said, surprising Christie, who regarded him warily. "To be frank, I've come to inform you that I'm going to invest in your company. Or more precisely, I'm going to buy all the available shares.""Which shares are you referring to?" Christie asked with interest. "Our comp

    Meanwhile, Isabella called Christian repeatedly, unable to get through. As she tried to calm her screaming children, frightened by the violent lurching of the yacht, she heard Marta's cry for their father. Disregarding the danger, she grabbed her children and ran desperately towards the bridge."What happened to Dad, Marta? What happened to Dad?" she asked, terrified."Isabella! Have you gone mad? Get back to the cabin with the children! A wave could sweep you away like it did Dad!" Marta scolded, trying to keep the yacht circling in the same spot in an attempt to find Santiago."What?!" Isabella could only scream, gripped by sheer panic.Suddenly, a tremendous impact shook the yacht, momentarily halting it and throwing everyone forward."What happened, Marta?" Isabella asked, sprawled on the floor, hugging Lucas and Lucía, who were screaming in terror."We've hit a reef, Isabella, we've hit a reef!" Marta replied, struggling to manoeuvre while b

    Christie arrived at the house with her bodyguard, rushed to embrace David, and burst into tears upon learning what had happened to her brother."How's Mum? Does she know yet?" she asked through her tears."I haven't told her anything," David replied as he wiped her beautiful face. "What happened to you? And don't say nothing, because your secretary called me.""That stupid man who bought Adele barged into my office, threatening not to let me leave unless I signed marriage papers with him," Christie recounted furiously, finishing wiping her face."I beg your pardon?" David asked angrily. "And where were your bodyguards?""I'd sent them to find out where Adele was, but Dad called to tell me what had happened to Chris and that I should come to look after Mum. He sent the bodyguard immediately, and he rescued me through that private lift you insisted I have installed in my office," she explained, hugging him again.Doctor David was furious

    Meanwhile, at the hospital, Christian's operation finally concluded, and he was moved to the recovery room. The doctor came out to speak with Mr Thompson, who had returned as soon as he had secured his company offices and alerted the police about Néstor, whom his daughter had called to say was at the entrance of their house, prompting her to notify the authorities."Well, doctor? How did it go? Did you manage to remove the tumour from my son? Will he recover? Will he lose his sight? Why did it take so long?" Mr Thompson bombarded him with questions."We took much longer because we discovered that from his accident, he had a small tear in the pituitary gland," the neurosurgeon explained patiently. "This created a sac that hardened and turned into that small tumour. Thankfully, it's nothing malignant; it wasn't even a tumour, strictly speaking.""What do you mean by that, doctor? How was it not a tumour? What was it then?" Thompson asked anxiously."Mr Thomp

    Many believe that having all material possessions in life is the most important thing. However, it's only when we truly lose what gives our existence meaning that we understand how important these things are, and what we're capable of doing to have them back.Santiago had managed to get the small yacht, which had been fiercely battling against one of the miscreants' vessels, to join him. Upon seeing their companions retreat after their leader's boat crashed and sank, the attackers had left them alone and headed towards the coast. Now, Santiago was desperately scouring the sea, trying to locate the life raft carrying his daughters and grandchildren, along with two men his father had sent.The storm hadn't yet subsided, and the waves were enormous, making it nearly impossible to spot anything in the distance amidst the darkness.

    Mr Thompson looked at Adele, scarcely able to believe she was there in the hospital. She was heavily disguised, almost unrecognisable. She smiled at him nonchalantly as she pulled out a cigarette."Put that out. You can't smoke in here," he scolded her sternly. "Why didn't you answer when I called, and how did you know I was here?""Did you think I wouldn't follow you after you made me leave your house the way you did?" Adele asked, relishing her ex-father-in-law's surprised expression. "How's Christian? What happened to him?""He's just had surgery for a brain tumour," Mr Thompson replied curtly."Really?" Adele was astonished, not having believed he was truly ill."Yes. Let's go to the cafeteria to discuss what we're going to do. I don't want anyone seeing you talking to me here and telling my wife something that isn't true," Mr Thompson instructed, standing up. "Besides, Christie might show up, and you certainly w

    Gradually, they dragged him across the beach, placing him beneath the raft on top of some nylon bags. Together, they retrieved the first-aid kit and, as best they could, extracted the bullet, stitched the wound, and bandaged it."I'll go and see if I can find some branches, even if they're wet. We need to start a fire," said Marta, deeply concerned. "Watch the children, Bella. They're turning blue. We must heat some water and give it to them.""All right, don't go too far," Isabella requested as she began massaging the children to try and warm them up."Take the gun and shoot without hesitation," Marta said, placing a weapon next to Isabella, who looked at it terrified. "It's for your children's lives, Bella.""How do you know all this, Marta?" Isabella asked, truly impressed by Marta's survival skills."Don't forget, I lived on the streets for a long time, and then in an orphanage. We had to learn to survive," Marta replied, covering
