The cars drove for more than two hours, reaching a cabin nestled in a wooded area, guarded by several armed men. Kathen pulled his daughter out of the car, while Courney tenderly held the sleeping baby with a pacifier in her mouth, blissfully unaware of everything.Kathen signaled one of the men, instructing, "Bring down the woman from the other car and lock her up in one of the rooms." He nudged his daughter to walk inside the house.The journey felt endless for Lindsey. She had no idea where they were taking her, staying silent, realizing that protesting would be futile. The car finally stopped, and she observed the surroundings—a rustic house far from civilization. A man grabbed her arm and led her inside. She didn't resist; this man was just following orders, dragging her along.He opened a door and pushed her into the room. It was a wooden space with only a bed. She sat at the edge of the bed, hugging herself for strength, nerves on edge. With trembling hands, she murmured, "God,

Lindsey looked up as she felt the doorknob turning, watching from her position as two people entered the room."Look, Fabricio, let me introduce you to my other daughter. She's Lindsey," Kathen said with sarcasm in her voice. "See how beautiful she is? She'll fulfill all your needs," she patted the man on the shoulder.The man stared at the girl, captivated. His eyes showed eagerness, and a depraved smile formed on his mouth. With a deep voice, he said, "Your daughter is quite a treat. Are you ready, Lindsey, to please me?"Lindsey was disgusted by the pig in front of her. She shot a hateful look at Kathen."They'll come for me soon, Kathen, and I swear I'll avenge my mother's death. I'll kill you with my own hands for your rotten soul, for your wickedness, and for being a murderer.""Bla bla bla, stop saying stupid things. You'll leave here in a plastic bag, thrown in the trash, if your husband even finds you whole before the worms eat you first.""I hate you with all my being," she

Gradually, they finished off the men outside. Feeling cornered, Fabricio searched his pocket for a lighter and set fire to the curtains. Then, he took giant steps toward the women, his eyes vacant. When he reached them, a sinister laugh escaped his mouth, followed by terrifying words."We'll be married to the flames in here."At that moment, the door was knocked down. Oscar entered, accompanied by Damian."Surrender, Fabricio. Your men have been captured," shouted Oscar from the entrance, knowing that any wrong move could endanger the lives of the women and his daughter.Fabricio was very close to Lindsey. He pushed her, taking the girl from her and using her as a shield. The baby cried desperately in his tight grip."Are you the murderer of my son?" he expressed with a cold look. "I'm going to show you what it feels like to see your child dead." He aimed the gun at the baby's head.Courney felt a sharp pang in her belly, sending a shiver through her body. Her mind clouded, and she wh

In the operating room, four doctors fought to keep Courney alive. She was in critical condition, and they struggled to control the bleeding. She had lost a significant amount of blood, and an immediate blood transfusion was administered. During the operation, as two doctors were removing the bullet, the machine connected to Courney started beeping; she was experiencing cardiac arrest. A third cardiologist applied chest compression maneuvers while shouting to one of the assistants in the operation room."Prepare the cardiac defibrillator."When the device was ready, it delivered electric shocks until the heart rhythm normalized. The doctors breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the operation. After extracting the bullet, which had not damaged any organs, they sewed up the wound.A medical obstetrician proceeded to perform a cesarean section to remove the fetus that had already died, confirmed during an ultrasound examination.After five hours of surgery, one of the four doctors

Óscar rolled a chair and placed it next to Courney's bed. He sat down, holding Courney's hands, and began recounting his military exploits, laughing as he remembered the pranks played on newcomers and the escapades they had to go to clubs.The day they removed Courney's medical devices, the whole family and friends were present. Dexter was in a wheelchair, and Janna, who had been prescribed rest, insisted so much that poor Freed had no choice but to bring her.The doctor, along with two nurses, proceeded to remove the devices. Courney was examined: she had regained her color, was breathing well, and the stitches were healing. However, she still didn't wake up. Hours passed, and nothing happened. The doctor informed them that her recovery was going well, but it depended on Courney waking up.That day, she showed no signs of response, and everyone left the hospital with sadness in their eyes.A week passed, then a month. Lindsey and Óscar took turns caring for her. Physically, Courney w

The Miller family returned to their mansion, and Maximiliano took his sleeping son to his room. Stefany went ahead to the room she shared with her husband. She had thought a lot about it but didn't know how to take the step to become his woman in bed. She shared her thoughts with the lively Luan, who insisted she buy a red set—a transparent strap nightgown with matching lingerie.Stefany was in the bathroom, blushing like a tomato, uncertain whether to come out in that outfit or tell Maximiliano to take her as his woman.She sensed when he opened the bedroom door. "My love, where are you?" Maximiliano asked, looking around.Biting her lower lip, she responded insecurely, "In the bathroom. Change and wait for me lying on the bed."He found it strange but didn't pay much attention. Maximiliano searched the closet for his pajamas, changed, and sat on the bed, waiting for her to come out.Stefany gathered her courage, sighed several times, and finally emerged. She took a few shy steps and

The family was once again gathered at Janna's baby shower, children running around joyfully. While the adults conversed, Janna winced, prompting everyone to look at her in surprise as liquid trickled down, wetting her shoes."I think my water broke," Janna exclaimed in panic.Faces exchanged uncertain glances; Stefany fainted, and Maximiliano, alarmed, scooped her up, sitting with her while Cecilia fanned her."Freed, where's the diaper bag?" Lindsey shouted, seeing him standing without reacting."I'll find it. It must be in the baby's room," Luan said, rushing inside.Kyle searched for his car keys in vain. "Lin! Help me with her. These men are scared," Isa said, lifting Janna. She took her right hand, and Lindsey took the other, slowly helping her walk. They led her to one of the cars."Courney, when Luan brings the bag, meet us at the hospital," Isa instructed, settling Janna in the back of the car and speeding off to the hospital.Freed and Kyle looked at each other, shouting simu

Five months later, Courney was overwhelmed with nerves. The day of her wedding had arrived, and she would be getting married in the church. Her insecurities always attacked her; she still attended psychological counseling.Lindsey helped her put on the wedding dress she had designed herself. It was a beige lace dress with floral motifs, with sensual V-neck and a delicate back covered in very fine lace, subtly revealing the skin through floral-patterned transparencies. It was designed in a mermaid style that highlighted her beautiful figure.Stefany was sitting comfortably on the bed, enjoying spoonfuls of creamy chocolate ice cream, savoring the indulgence."Stefany! For God's sake, stop eating so much. Look at how chubby you've become, and you're only seven months pregnant," complained Luan. Every time he saw his sister, she was eating, and it infuriated him."Well, you don't know that every pregnant woman is round. What do I do if these three troublemakers demand food all the time?
