2025-02-24 12:00:37Marta 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

Christian left the house to walk, immersed in his thoughts. He felt both excited and terrified by Isabella's visit. He wasn't sure if it was real, but he had sensed her scent."Sir, what are you doing here?" he heard the voice of a security guard. Without realising, he had wandered to the entrance."Emilio, by any chance, has my wife been around here?" he asked hopefully."How do you know?" came the question in return."Was she here? Did you let her in? I gave precise orders not to do so!" he said furiously, thinking he had been disobeyed. "Why wasn't I informed?""No, no, sir. Mrs Isabella came in the morning, and we didn't let her in. She waited on the street for a while, but then she left and didn't return," the guard clarified, observing him curiously."Are you certain she didn't come back or somehow enter the house?" he asked again. He had smelled her perfume; he was almost sure it was her in his room, that she had seen him and taken the divo

Isabella stared at her grandmother for a moment, then burst into tears again, inconsolable. Tania, not understanding, came to her side and hugged her tightly, trying to comfort her."Come now, darling, surely it can't be that bad to make you cry like this. What is it? Does Christian want a divorce?"At hearing the question, Isabella broke down crying again, as if her heart was aching unbearably. At that moment, her father Santiago entered, followed by her grandfather. They stood there, not knowing what to do, watching as Tania tried unsuccessfully to console her. Santiago approached and embraced her tightly."What's wrong, darling? Why are you crying like this?" he asked, concerned."It's nothing, Dad, it's nothing."Isabella tried to wipe away her tears and compose herself. Grandfather Sardino touched his son's shoulder and told him to leave her alone with her mother. Despite wanting to know what was troubling his daughter, Santiago understood it was best t

They advanced into the mansion, observing their surroundings where time seemed to have stood still. Nothing had changed since their last visit many years ago. They sat nervously where the maid directed them."Son, calm down," Mr Sardino urged Santiago, who was fidgeting incessantly. "Everything will be fine. You weren't to blame for anything!""Don't say that, Dad!" Santiago protested. "I should have realised sooner! Bella is her spitting image! Why didn't we notice when she was a child? Besides, it's been so many years. Do you think she'll remember me?"They were interrupted by the smiling entrance of Mr Rivera, who approached them, shaking hands and embracing them enthusiastically. Although they had grown apart after what happened with their children, they had always been great friends and still maintained many business interests in common."Good afternoon, Santiago. Are you alright?" Mr Rivera asked, noticing his nervous movements. "What brings about thi

As they arrive, they see everyone still waiting for news about the children. They turn upon hearing them, while Christie goes and embraces her brother, covering him with kisses, crying."What is it, Chris?" Christian asks, pulling away."It's Bella.""What's wrong with Bella?" Santiago and the grandfather ask simultaneously."We've just run into the doctor treating her. He was looking for you to tell you that they need to fetch Bella's mother. None of the others are compatible with her, and the only hope left is that her mother might be, as she has the same blood type.""As soon as we know about the children, we'll go for her," Grandfather Sardino says."No, it has to be now," Mr Thompson replies very seriously."Why?" Santiago asks."Because if they don't perform the transplant immediately, the doctor doesn't think she'll survive.""Oh God, don't tell me that, don't tell me that!

At that moment, they see Doctor David, who was inside the operating theatre where the adults were, running towards them."Christian, you need to come urgently," he requests with urgency."Has something happened to Bella?" Christian asks, standing up frightened."No, it's not about Bella," Doctor David assures him."Then who? I don't want to move from here, from beside my children," he says, sitting back down."Néstor is out there, demanding they give him Adele, and I thought you could say you're her fiancé and prevent it. She's really in a critical condition, she has two gunshot wounds to the torso and has lost a lot of blood, just like Luis. The worst of all is the other woman.""Vivian?" Christie asks intrigued."Yes, she'd already been shot once and they gave her two more," David replies. "She's in a very bad way, I don't know if she'll make it. But come on.""Vivian must have prevented Eva from killing the children," says the

Néstor Guzmán was furious. Since she escape, he hadn't been able to find where Adele had gone. Initially, he'd stopped looking for her when he found Christie Thompson, thinking she'd make a better wife for him and that it would be easy to acquire her, as he was accustomed to doing. But due to his actions in their company, he found himself in serious trouble with the government, caused by Mr Thompson.He realised that Thompson was indeed very powerful and could cause him significant harm. So when he learned on television that Christie had married her boyfriend, Dr David, he cursed angrily and resumed his search for Adele, intending to leave, as his father was pressuring him to return due to the mess he'd caused with the Thompson family."Sir, we're not sure if it's true," said one of his men, entering his office. "But one of our lads says he saw Adele with a chap called Luis Ibáñez. They were in a car heading out of the city. He followed th

The two thugs covered the phone, having confirmed their suspicions, and spoke to each other in fear."What should we do? Old man Sardino says he'll give us all the money we want. What if we kill Eva and the others, save only the children, and get all that money?""Are you mad?" Roan replied, visibly frightened. "I'm sure they'll find us out. The bodyguards saw us taking the children and trying to kill everyone."As they heard Patriarch Sardino's voice change from almost begging them desperately on the phone a moment ago to now becoming furious and threatening, they paid attention to what he was saying."If you don't tell me right now where they are, I'll hunt you down and make you pay as if you were the kidnappers," Patriarch Sardino's cold voice sent a shiver down their spines. "I swear I'll find you even if you hide underground! If my great-grandchildren die because you didn't tell me where they are, I'll make you pay dearly. I swear it! Where are

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.

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!
