The Runaway Bride Epilogue
A Few Months Later "It hurts too much!" Helen cried out, feeling her hips begin to give way under the force of her contractions. The time had come—her daughter, Luciana, was ready to be born. With every minute, the pain grew more intense. "Hold on, honey! We're almost at the hospital. I still don’t understand that absurd idea of waiting until the very last minute to give birth," Fernando said, speeding through the crowded streets, his hands trembling and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "Just drive! Please!" Helen screamed, her voice growing louder and more desperate. A few blocks ahead, Fernando parked his car in front of the hospital where their daughter was meant to be born. Helen got out of the passenger seat as best she could, while Fernando ran out to bring a wheelchair. He helped her sit down and led her inside. A group of doctors was already waiting—everything was prepared to welcome the new member of the family. "Fernando, I can't take it anymore! I need to push!
The Runaway Bride Little by little, even when it hurts, everything must fall into place.
Santiago remained unconscious. There was no sign of improvement. The days went by, and although the situation was unbearably sad for Helen and Fernando, they still held on to the hope of seeing their little boy’s eyes one last time. But time wasn’t standing still. Inside Helen’s womb, a new life was growing—and with each passing day, it became more noticeable. At the very least, that brought some comfort to her aching soul. "Today we have the ultrasound to find out our baby’s sex," Helen said, pulling her hair back into a ponytail as she looked in the mirror. Fernando hugged her from behind, caressed her belly, gave her a sweet kiss on the neck, and looked at her reflection. "Yes, my love. I’m so excited to know if it’s a boy or girl. Do you have any feeling?" he asked, still watching her through the mirror. Helen placed her hands over his, and together they gently massaged her belly. "You look beautifully pregnant. Your eyes are brighter, and your cheeks are glowing." He turne
The Runaway Bride The Pains of the Heart
After everything that happened at the airport and giving his official statement, Fernando rushed to the hospital. His son had been admitted to the emergency room, and his presence was crucial. Although Helen was already with Santiago, she wasn’t strong enough to handle the situation on her own. When he arrived, their son had already been moved to intensive care. Although the kidnapping hadn’t lasted long, the trauma he had suffered, compounded by his already fragile health, had seriously complicated his condition. To such an extent that he had to be placed in an induced coma. Helen sat hugging the edge of the bed, consumed by a deep sadness. She knew the moment to say goodbye to one of her children was approaching, and it was tearing her apart. It was a feeling too difficult to explain, and she had no idea how to deal with it. Fernando approached silently, but she sensed his presence and lifted her head. When she saw him, as if needing to breathe again, she threw herself into his a
The Runaway Bride The Beginning of the End
Fernando did everything Virginia had ordered him to do. He created access to the accounts and was ready to make her believe he would leave with her. He would do whatever it took to get his son back. Meanwhile, the police were preparing the largest operation to capture her. In her naïveté, she believed that simply having Santiago kidnapped meant she had complete control. “Fernando, my love, it’s too risky to be alone with that woman. I’m really nervous.” Helen sat beside him, watching him try to stay calm. “Helen, I need you now more than ever, my love. This is a decisive moment. As soon as Virginia calls and tells me how she’s going to hand over our son, you have to be on top of the medical team. While he’s been away from home, he hasn’t taken his medication. He needs urgent care.” Helen nodded, pale with nerves. “I’m terrified. I know our son is in the terminal stage and that he’s going to die anyway... but I don’t want that to happen in her arms. I wouldn’t be able to live with
The Runaway Bride Why Does Everything Have to Be This Way
It was the tenth call Helen had made to Fernando. It wasn’t normal for him to be taking so long with their little one—especially considering his medical condition. The less time he spent away from home, the better. “Fernando, answer!” Helen kept repeating to herself. She grabbed her bag and was ready to leave when, finally, he picked up. “My love, finally! What happened? Why weren’t you answering me?” On the other end of the line, Fernando was a mess. His nerves were shattered, and he was overwhelmed with anguish. “Honey,” he said softly, “we have a problem.” “What problem?” Helen felt like she might faint. “Santiago is gone. I left him with a nurse for a moment, and when I came back, he wasn’t there anymore.” Fernando’s voice cracked as tears began to fall. The moment Helen heard those words, a terrible pain took over her chest. She couldn’t even manage a whisper. “Helen, my love, please stay calm. The police are on their way.” “Fernando, I’m going there.” Helen hung up and r
The Runaway Bride A few days later
Fernando hurried down the stairs of the mansion. In less than an hour, his son had an important appointment with a specialist—and they were running late. Chapter 67: Why Does Everything Have to Be This Way "Santiago, honey, are you ready yet?" he asked his little boy, who barely nodded. "Yes..." "Well, my love, then say goodbye to your mother, and we’ll leave." "Can she come with us? As always, Daddy?" the boy asked in a thin voice. "No, my love. She has to go to school today—it’s Jonathan’s report card day. She needs to be there. I’ll go alone with you." "Yes," Santiago replied again, his voice weak. Fernando hurried to the kitchen. Helen was preparing breakfast—she loved serving them. "My love, wait. Eat something before you go," Helen suggested. "No, honey, it’s completely impossible. We have just one hour to get to the hospital, but thank you. By the way, today you look more beautiful than ever." He pulled her by the waist and kissed her passionately. Then, lowering hims
The Runaway Bride After Marriage
Jean had to struggle with Virginia to keep her from going back inside the church. She was determined to ruin Helen and Fernando’s happiness. “Let me go, Jean! Why do you care if I want to stop that marriage? Since when are you friends with these people?” she screamed in fury. “Virginia, it’s not about being friends with them. I just don’t see any logic in you exposing yourself like this. Tell me!” “You don’t care!” she spat. “Or are you interested in that little slut?” Virginia glared at him with contempt, her eyes burning with fury, her cheeks flushed from the surge of emotions. Jean clenched his jaw and rubbed his forehead. “Virginia, why can’t you understand? The only person I care about in this world is you. I want to be with you. I love you. I fell for you during all this chaos, and I swear I don’t want you out of my life. But do you still love Fernando?” “And what if I do?” she replied defiantly. “I’ve been with you through your worst moments, Virginia. When you came to m
The Runaway Bride The Day of Marriage
Helen took Fernando’s hand and they left the room. She had dreamed of a magical wedding since childhood, and while most of that dream remained unfulfilled, one part had become real: she would marry the love of her life—the man she loved above all circumstances. And that was more than enough. Their wedding would be a simple ceremony. Only a few guests were invited, as the true purpose of this event was the union of their souls and bodies—not to draw public attention. The twins were waiting for them in the living room. Both were dressed identically in sleek, light-gray tuxedos and beautiful bowties. Though they both looked lovely, Santiago’s face was pale and sorrowful. His body was thinner than normal, and he had very little energy. Helen’s heart broke when she saw him. The wedding was part of Santiago’s last wishes. She knelt beside her son and gazed at him with profound nostalgia—it was impossible not to notice. Helen let a tear slip down her cheek, gently caressed her little ones
The Runaway Bride Loose Ends That Tarnish Happiness
Fernando returned to Helen’s house. He would live there now. She helped him prepare for his mother’s funeral. News of Cristine’s death spread faster than wildfire. Everyone was talking about her shocking suicide. Even someone with unresolved business with Fernando heard the news. Virginia, who had fled from the authorities, had changed her appearance to avoid capture. She was now allied with Jean. With the downfall of Donovan & Associates, Jean had no choice but to cling to her failing small business. Jean came up from behind and kissed Virginia on the neck. She barely flinched at his touch. “What are you reading, honey?” he asked, noticing the newspaper in her hand. “My dear ex-mother-in-law killed herself. Unbelievable. I didn’t think that would be what ended her,” she said with intrigue. “Maybe it was all the karma she carried. Eventually, it caught up to her,” Jean said, trying to seduce her with gentle caresses. But Virginia wasn’t interested. Her attention was fixed on th
