2024-12-22 12:10:15Sitting in his father's office, Santiago stares into the old man's eyes. His father holds his gaze silently. Santiago knows something has happened with his daughter, he knows it. Luis keeps calling to ask about Isabella. Eva is very nervous, taking secret calls that Santiago suspects are from his father. If Isabella hadn't come to Eva for help, she must have called her grandfather instead. But the old man clearly has no intention of telling Eva anything.
"Aren't you going to tell me what's going on with Bella, Dad?" Santiago asks finally after their staring standoff. "What do you want me to tell you?" his father replies, glancing up from some paperwork. "She should be at school now.""Where are you hiding her?" Santiago asks seriously. "What do you mean?" asks old Sardino evasively. "Dad, I'll be very angry if that bastard Luis did something to Bella and you don't tell me. Don't pretend you know nothing. Isabella called the

Adrian, seeing how his boss and best friend gives him a questioning look, continues. “Also, we heard that your father's lawyer, the one who is a close friend of his, went to see the judge he uses urgently to get him to approve some papers.” "Paperwork?" He catches his eye trying to figure out what his father was up to with his daughter.Adrian explains that the secretary, although she wasn't sure, thinks it was divorce papers. Santiago looks out the window into his father's office and smiles. He doesn't know what he's up to, but he knows that whatever he does will be for Isabella's well-being."I see.” That's all he says before asking. “Have they located where that degenerate Luis is now?" His assistant denies again, informing that in spite of looking for him very well, it seems that he has been swallowed by the earth. Isabella's gardener was the one who told him that some hooded men had gone early in the morning and ha

On top of that, his father's constant quarreling with Eva over her inheritance being given early made things harder. His father truly hated Eva while his mother was merely polite yet clearly couldn't stand her either. Only once did Santiago ask Eva why she didn't seek out Susan and ask what happened. He was convinced something must have occurred with Susan. But her family wasn't talking and no one knew where she was. Eva just said she was happily married to some unnamed mobster now.After talking to his father and hearing his insistence that something was wrong with Santiago, he didn't know why but he believed him now. It wasn't possible that during his addiction he had allowed his beloved only daughter to be mistreated by Eva her whole life, just walking away to protect her. And now this, his little girl asked her grandfather, not her own father, for help. How could that be understood? There was only one explanation, Isabella didn't trust him. She thought he

Even with a friend, he always found it hard opening up emotionally, the only exception was his beloved Susan. After she left he never confided his innermost thoughts to anyone again. "Well, shall we continue then?" Alfonso gently encouraged, knowing his friend well. "What's worrying you?" "First, let me ask you something and I want total honesty, don't hide anything from me. Okay?" Santiago began slowly. "Of course, you needn't ask. I'm a professional, I'll always give you the plain truth," said Dr. Alfonso, looking at his friend with concern."Okay...well...you see... My question is...it's..." Santiago hesitated, loosening his tie and draining more water. Clearly he was struggling to voice his reason for being there."Go on, my friend. I'm not only your doctor but have been your confidante all through our youth.” Alfonso encouraged him with a smile. “Out with it, what do you want to know?" San

And he walked out of the office, leaving everything bloody and sore. Yes, he must have been mad when he hit Isabella! She was a fool, who was afraid of him, a wimpy woman, who if he had done things right from the start would be his lawful wife today. But, he had forgotten that she had a powerful family. That, although her parents didn't pay much attention to her. Her grandfather loved and defended her above all else. Everyone, the great patriarchs of business, respected him. He could ruin anyone in a day with just one finger lift.He slowly picked up all the papers, groaning at the pain caused by any movement. He stood up, holding on as best he could to the furniture. He signed each one of them. When he left, the house was empty, he could not say goodbye to his mother. After passing through the hospital. He returned home to find himself again with the notice that he had to leave the house. Because it was Isabella's grandmother's. She had only borrowe

Isabella laughed in amusement at her now best and only friend's question and expression. She assured her that she did not suffer from any rare disease. She was always very healthy, but she could not deny that since she arrived in Paris, she was not sure if it was because of the change, but she was always tired and sleepy."It must be the change, although it should have passed by now. How long have you been in Paris already?" Marta asked again with real concern. When Isabella told her it was two months. He shook his head saying. "It really should have passed by now. I think you need to see a doctor. " "That's what my grandmother keeps saying too.” Isabella confessed thoughtfully. “ I promised we'd go after finishing this project. Sorry, Marta, you practically had to do it alone." "Don't exaggerate!” protested Marta. “Maybe you're just tired from all that reading you do," she dismissed.Isabella said no more, but sh

Isabella laughs with her as she tells her that she agrees. He invites her to get some clothes for Marta to change into, although she refuses. However Isabella does not give in, she is determined to help her best and only friend in some way."Marta please, you can't sleep in those clothes. Here, take anything you want from my wardrobe, consider it a gift for my best and only friend." And says with a sincere smile.Martha stops and looks at her in disbelief. She can't be serious, she thinks. Isabella is beautiful, sincere, honest, but most of all she has a big heart. She can't be friendless being from a wealthy family with all those attributes."Only friend? Surely you had loads back home?" Marta tells her, seeing how Isabella stops to look at her."No Marta, I had no one" Isabella confesses with sadness in her eyes. "You are my first and only best friend. And I want to treat you as such. Please, don't take it badly. Come, I'll show you, you can stay here in this room, I'll stay in the

Hence why Mr Sardino had insisted Isabella study business administration, supposedly to aid Santiago but in reality, to have her ready to assume control when the time came. "Santiago, let's start by discussing what's worrying you most right now. I'm listening," Dr Alfonso said gently. Santiago took a deep breath, sipped some water and rubbed his forehead as if trying to clear his turbulent thoughts. "I suppose it began with Susan leaving me. I adored her, I'd asked her father's blessing to propose and she just fled without explanation. No idea where either, though Eva claimed she'd run off with some mafia bloke. I felt like dying! Started drinking heavily as you know, then that wasn't enough. Tried weed, then it was just one drug after another. And the more wasted I got, the more I thought about Susan and what might have been..."His brother squeezed his arm sympathetically.

They left, unaware of a shadowy figure following their departure. At his mother's care home, Alfonso suggested paying respects to their late father. But en route to the cemetery, their mysterious pursuer hastily withdrew. In Paris, it was past midnight but Isabella and Marta were still hard at work. Suddenly Bella's phone pinged a new message notification. Opening it revealed the same anonymous two words once more: "Take care." She stared puzzled at the screen. For months now, this unknown number had sent the odd message, always identical with that simple sign off. "What is it Bella?" Marta asked curiously. "I'm really not sure, ever since arriving in Paris, I get this sporadic text. Just two words from a number I don't recognise. No clue who it could be either." Her friend looked thoughtful. "It's an American number you say? Beyond your grandparents visiting you here, do you know anyone else stateside?" Bella shook her head. "No one at all." "What about your dad - could it b

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. She'll make an incredible novel about their lives, she's sure it will be a huge success.

"The grandfather takes it, intrigued, as Marta and Tina look on curiously. He opens it and pulls out the paternity tests, which prove that Christian is the father of the children.

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!

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
