Lindsey conducted an audit in each department, uncovering the evidence she needed to sink her father in jail for fraud and embezzlement of the company's funds. Dexter took charge of presenting all the evidence to a judge, and an arrest warrant was issued.From a distance, Lindsey observed how they took John out of the house in handcuffs and put him into a police car. A cold and sad expression appeared on her face, recalling the days of despair she had lived with her father. At that moment, she couldn't remember a single happy moment. After witnessing that scene, she asked her driver to take her home.Days passed, and the trial against John Girt took place. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but Lindsey was dissatisfied with the lenient sentence. It seemed insufficient for all the harm he had caused. His misdeeds wouldn't bring her mother back, and they couldn't erase the suffering she endured with him.After the trial, Dexter requested a visit to the prison.John Girt was brought

The next day, a couple attended a gynecological appointment. Freed had a smile that lit up his face, and they sat in the waiting room. He couldn't stop gently passing his right hand over Janna's belly."Mr. and Mrs. Gregen, you can go to Dr. Maritza Wilson's examination room."Freed took Janna's hand, they started walking together, and entered the examination room."Good morning, how's that belly doing?""Fine, doctor. I haven't had any discomforts. It's the dad who experiences nausea in the mornings, some foods don't sit well with him, and I think he's having cravings too because I've seen him eating sweets, and he's not a fan of them.""It's good that they suffer a bit for what we, as women, have to face. Now, let's find out the gender of this baby."Freed helped Janna lie down on the examination table, and he lifted her shirt. The doctor turned on the ultrasound machine, applied gel to Janna's belly, and started pressing the device in her hand, sliding it back and forth. The sound

Two weeks later, Lindsey's mansion was prepared for Janna and Freed's wedding. It was spring, and the weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Three colors predominated in the venue. The decoration was in gold, giving an air of elegance, adorned with pure white roses from the arch at the entrance to the altar. The red color only influenced the carpet indicating the path to the altar.Freed complained about a penguin suit that Janna made him wear."You look like a proper gentleman," Kyle laughed at his friend's poetic expression.Then, there was a knock on the door."Who is it?" Kyle asked."Sir, everything is ready for the ceremony. You can head straight to the tent," one of the staff members indicated."Thanks," Kyle said, then glanced at his friend. "It never crossed my mind to see you married. I'm glad you've created your own family. I assure you; it will be the best stage of your life.""Thanks, brother," tears of anticipation appeared. "Don't think I'm calm. Panic has also at

Lindsey heard the children sobbing; her soul was hanging by a thread. Her mind couldn't believe that the woman she had been searching for was more cunning than her. She glanced at her friend Janna, who was being attended to by her doctor. Kyle, holding his grandfather's hand, had dark eyes reflecting both coldness and concern. Lindsey was petrified, unsure of what to do. From her position, she glanced at the security men who were kneeling on the side of the house. Hatred started to rule her, and she wanted to murder those three women with her own hands."Daughters! Aren't you going to greet your mother? Sorry for arriving uninvited, but my ungrateful daughters haven't given me the chance to visit them," Kathen shouted loudly from a few meters away."Kathen! Are we going to negotiate? If you want money, give me the amount you're asking for. I'll transfer it to the bank account you provide right away, and leave my family alone," Kyle yelled, realizing he had no other option. All his sec

"Mom! Let the baby go. This girl is innocent and has nothing to do with all this," Courney exclaimed, reaching the front of her mother with Oriana in her arms."Dear daughter!" She exclaimed with a big smile. "Look at you, carrying Fabricio's grandchild. He's thrilled to be a grandfather and is eagerly awaiting your arrival. Once that baby is born, we'll hand him over, and we can leave this country together. As for that brat, she'll be my gift so I can do whatever I want with the daughter of the man who killed my son."Courney received an emotional shock, stunned by this news. She felt the ground move beneath her, unable to comprehend how her mother knew the man who made her live through her nightmare. Worse yet, her mother was narrating it calmly, indifferent to the suffering Courney had endured. She couldn't understand how her mother could be so cruel to her, sharing the same blood and having obediently followed her every command. She clung to the little girl in her arms and, with d

Stefany had years of pent-up rage. She grabbed Catrina by the hair, threw her to the ground, straddled her, and delivered slaps and punches to her face, unleashing all her anger.Catrina tried to defend herself, but the woman on top of her was stronger. She began screaming for help from her men, but they were busy dealing with the chaos.Stefany continued to beat her opponent, leaving her face bloody and swollen.Freed was on the ground behind some chairs with his wife. He watched his brother run with a firearm in his hands, feeling impotent for not being able to help. However, he was also unsure about leaving his scared wife. After deliberating for a few seconds, he whispered,"Love, stay here! Don't move! For our princess, don't even think about getting up or lifting your head. My brother needs me; I'll help restore order here."Janna, realizing the danger she was in, began crying uncontrollably. She fixed her gaze on him and pleaded with a pleading voice,"Freed, don't leave me! I'

Maximiano, upon seeing his wife approaching with a lost look, kissed his son on the forehead and lifted him from his lap. He looked at his mother who was beside him and exclaimed, "Mom! Take Max with his cousins and stay with them. I need to provide support for the rescue of Lin and her sister."Cecilia, with nerves on edge from what happened, grabbed her grandson by one hand and with the other clung to her cane, starting to walk towards the interior of the mansion.Maximino took strides until he reached his wife, hugged her with emotion, and gave her a tender kiss. "My brave little one, thanks for saving our son. There's no doubt that God had mercy on me and sent me the best mother and wife in the world. Everything is over, my love. Leave the fate of your mother in my hands; she will only be a bad memory in your mind."Stefany was enchanted by his words and lifted her face, drawing a confident smile. "Maxi, now I feel like my past has vanished. I want to be happy with my new family."

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
