Santiago is at a loss for what to do to keep his daughters and grandchildren warm, he did everything he could to further beach the yacht in the sand and ordered the anchor to be dropped and the boat to be tied to the nearest rocks and trees.

"Boss, the tide is still rising, I think it's a hurricane."

"You guys make sure the ropes stay tight as the tide rises." He orders very worried when he sees the height of the waves.

"Yes, sir." His second replied, going to carry out the order.

 He has tucked Lucas and Lucia into his body, inside the coat wrapped with thermal blankets, and lay down with Bella, sending two more sailors to continuously place warm clothes on their stomachs. Finally, he sees his daughters beginning to wake up.

"Dad?" Isabella reacts first. "Dad, is that you and the kids?"

"Thank heavens, thank heavens!”he exclaims excitedly.  “How are you feeling? The kids, look at them here, they're breathing well and waking up, Ma

    Santiago explains that the storm seems to have turned into a hurricane, which is now battering the island they're on with terrible winds. The island is almost at sea level and is likely to flood."But we're protected by that row of high reef stones, and even if the tide rises, it won't be enough to sink the yacht," he quickly clarifies, seeing the expression of terror on Isabella's face. "We've managed to contain the water coming in through the crack the yacht got when it hit the reef, and we can stay here safely until the storm passes. Then we'll use the flares to signal Dad, who I'm sure will continue searching as soon as everything calms down. If he hasn't found us yet, it's because I think he's searching between the island we were on and the coast. He hasn't thought to look here, but we're not that far, and he's sure to spot us when we launch the flares.""What if he doesn't see them, Dad?" Isabella asks, still terrified."We'll prepare the yacht properly and set

    Marta lowers her head as she hears Santiago telling his grandfather what she did. She does the same before Mrs Tania and Eugenia, who turn to look at her in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe she was capable of such an act. Santiago, noticing this, takes her hand and kisses it as he says:"She saved everyone, Dad," and he embraces her proudly and protectively. "Marta not only killed the man who shot Rodrigo and intended to kidnap the women and children, but she also jumped into the freezing sea to push the raft and bring it to shore. You know very well that Bella can't swim, let alone the children. If it hadn't been for her, they all would have drowned.""Really, Martita?" Mrs Tania asks emotionally, coming to embrace her and covering her with kisses.Marta returns the embrace, moved, and begins to cry inconsolably, as she now truly realises everything she did, hearing Santiago recount it. Fear finally appears in the form of tears."Don't cry, my love. You

    The doctor leads them to a private room where he immediately examines the children and realises they need immediate attention. Although they've regained some warmth, they still show signs of not having fully recovered from hypothermia."Isabella, the children need to be admitted," he says, looking at Marta, who grimaces. "It's not on a whim, nor do I want to keep them here in hospital for the sake of it, but as you can see, their lips are still slightly blue, as are their fingernails and toenails.""All right, doctor. We have those symptoms too, Marta more so than me," Isabella says. "Can you arrange for us to stay together?""I'll sort it out. Let me examine you," the doctor assures them, focusing on his work.Isabella is the first to volunteer for the examination, knowing Marta is reluctant. Eventually, Marta allows him to check her. He immediately sends her to change into warm pyjamas and tells her to lie down, hooking her up to an IV. He then turns to S

    Christie stares at David seriously, not fully comprehending what he's just said, as her mind is consumed by the terrible fear that her brother might fall back into a coma, or perhaps something even worse might happen. When she finally understands what her boyfriend has just told her, as he looks at her anxiously awaiting her reaction, she embraces him happily. Without waiting for him to change his mind, she takes out her mobile and rings the solicitor."Good morning.""Good morning, Christie. What can I do for you so early?" the solicitor asks, concerned."I need you to arrange the papers for me to get married today," Christie requests, looking directly into Dr David's eyes as he smiles."I beg your pardon?" the family solicitor exclaims in astonishment. "What do you mean by getting married today, my dear?""Mr Solicitor, I simply need you to prepare the papers I must sign and for you to witness where necessary," Christie explains decisively. "I want to beco

    Mr Thompson chides her, but in reality, he feels terribly afraid that what she's saying might be true. The night before, David had told him everything they'd done during the operation, and he was very concerned about the blood clots they'd extracted and their fear that it might have affected Christian in some way.He doesn't want his poor son to spend years lying in a bed again, not knowing if he'll wake up or not. Nor does he want to go through the forgetfulness that Christian suffered all these years, and now that things were better, this happens again."You'll see, he'll be fine," he repeats, more to convince himself than his daughter.Meanwhile, on the floor below them, in the room that Dr Ivan managed to secure for Isabella and Marta along with the children, Santiago dozes in an armchair beside them both. They had spent the night trying to convince him to lie down with one of them, to no avail; he remained in the armchair the entire

    A considerable amount of time has passed since the events unfolded, and Isabella hasn't heard from Christian. She hasn't sought him out either, and although Marta continues to work at the publishing house, it's Christie who's in charge now. Despite Isabella's repeated inquiries about her brother, Christie remains tight-lipped, only saying that he's away on a trip. This has led Isabella to conclude that he must have reunited with Adele, which explains why no one knows their whereabouts.For her part, Isabella returned to university and completed the final term of her Business Negotiation and Management degree. She then resolutely began working with her father and grandfather at the shipping company. She wants nothing more to do with Christian and forbids anyone from mentioning him. Her focus now is solely on the goal she's had since discovering her pregnancy: to raise her children and forge ahead on her own.Isabella finds happiness in assisting her

    Isabella stood for a moment, watching her young daughter who wouldn't stop insisting on being taken to see her father. After all, she had accepted him as such, and Christian had assumed that role, she thought."All right, I promise I'll take you to see Dad as soon as I can," Isabella conceded, causing Christian's heart to race. "Now, give me the phone. Hello, is that you, Christian? If it is, why aren't we talking? Christian...?"However, he didn't answer, just listening to her for a moment until he felt the call end. He wiped away a tear that had rolled down his cheek. His mother, who had been listening to everything, came over and hugged him tightly as she heard him cry openly on her shoulder."You have to tell her, son. You have to tell her," she suggested."No, Mum. I don't want to tie her to this life," he said sadly."What are you going to do, then?" Mrs Thompson asked, desperate because her son was sinking into sadness."I don't know. I jus

    Isabella froze as she saw Christian standing with his back to her, just two steps away. He didn't turn upon hearing the door open, but rather moved towards the balcony as he spoke."Irene, take these papers to my sister for her to review and return to me for signing. I'll send them off today."Isabella realised he was referring to documents on the bed. She crept silently towards them and picked them up, only to discover they were their divorce papers. She opened her mouth to speak but heard him continue."Tell her to pay close attention to the section I mentioned, where I refuse to give up my children under any circumstances. I only want to set Isabella free to do as she pleases. She doesn't deserve to live like this... Irene, this isn't working. I'll ask Mum to assign someone else to attend to me."Isabella now struggled to comprehend Christian's words. Could he possibly be involved with the maid? she wondered, as tears rolled down her cheeks and a sob esc

    After saying this, Grandpa leaves towards the garden. Marta moves forward to take all the tests that Isabella still has on her lap, reviews them unable to believe it's all real, then turns to Isabella and says:"Bella, I'm impressed with your life. It's truly a soap opera. I want the rights to write it," she says enthusiastically."Ha, ha, ha... Marta, stop teasing me," Isabella plays along happily, not letting go of Christian's hand.They both laugh with Marta, who keeps insisting she's not joking. She assures them she'll write their story.

He looks up, staring at them in disbelief. Marta, seeing his surprised expression, moves her wheelchair forward and snatches the paper from his hands. She reads it and bursts out laughing."I knew it!" she exclaims excitedly. "Lucas looked too much like Chris!""What is it?" Tina asks in sign language."Grandma, Christian is Lucas and Lucia's father! He was the one who spent the night with me at the hotel! He was the one who got me pregnant!" Bella explains."But that's not all, grandfather," Christian adds. "I remembered everything! All my memories came back!""Congratulations, Chris!" Marta shouts again, excited. "Congratulations on both things!""Many congratulations!"

Isabella asserts."I couldn't," he affirms as he stands up again, leaving Isabella confused by his words.Christian takes another yellow envelope and returns to the bed where Isabella has sat up, intrigued. He hands her the results of the tests he had done to see if his sperm were viable, and gives them to his wife, who opens her eyes, still unable to believe it."What does this mean?" she asks as if needing to hear it."It means I was the one who got you pregnant, when you came to sleep with me those nights and that afternoon when we made love in the shower," he explains calmly and confi
