[Ready, godson! Mission accomplished. All returned to the country, including your ship” chatted the Attorney].
(***) [“That’s great, godfather, I’m very happy! And all thanks to your praiseworthy management. I am very proud to be your godson” announced Christopher].
[I feel prouder of you. Of being your godfather” he answered, also sending an emoji with a smile].
[“Thanks to you! Here the one who gets all the compliments is you, no one risks so much” wrote Christopher].
[“Yes, but if you had not been so kind and generous, this would never have had this ending” declared the Attorney].
[Godfather, the most important thing is the life of the human being, the rest is secondary” added Christopher].
[You are right, godson, did Joshua tell you that Angie is pregnant?”, asked his godfather].
[Yes, godfather. I was very happy, because it was what they both wanted the most,” assured Christopher].
[“That’s right! It has been a great joy for everyone, including Rocio, who every day that goes by, shows more and more regret for her previous actions” declared Rocio].
[“That’s very good! Because it shows that she has been educated on the basis of principles and values” expressed Christopher].
[Yes, I totally agree with you. Well son, I’ll leave you because I’m on my way to the Attorney General’s Office,” said the Attorney General].
[Okay and thanks again, Godfather,” said Christopher].
At the end of the chat, Christopher looked for Amber.

-My love! There, it’s all over, they freed all the hijacked and we got the plane back,” he commented happily, hugging her.
-I’m glad, my love! Blessed be God,” affirmed Amber.
-I thank God for what he gives me and allows me to live! I feel that he has strengthened me and that I am closer to him,” declared Christopher excitedly.
-That’s right, my love! Hence, our children should always be very grateful and know Him,” she said, getting into his arms.
-That, on the one hand, and on the other, to trust the people we love and who love us, before anyone else,” he affirmed.
“Likewise, to always seek the truth, on both sides, not to remain in doubt,” he declared. He pressed her closer to his body, while their mothers watched and listened.
-You’re right about that, love. We’ve been through so many things, some bad and some good, but we’ve learned something from all of them,” she said, smiling and always receiving his caresses.
-It has not been easy, but we are together, sharing, enjoying our love and waiting for our second child,” he said, with a beautiful smile that always melts her, caressing her belly.
“How do you feel? This time, the symptoms of pregnancy have not hit you hard -he assured her, speaking in a whisper and contemplating with her the beautiful horizon- When do you want to come back to Santiago de Leon?
-When you say, my love -she answered- I miss my house, my bed, my staff, in short, I miss all Santiago de Leon.
-Me too, even though in these hotels and places where we have stayed, they have been at the same level and style of our house in Santiago de Leon… I miss it a world! -he declared.
-Then, let’s get ready to return,” she affirmed, turning around without leaving the shelter of his arms, “I think we have already visited the most emblematic places, the temple of Zeus, the Roman Agora, the Acropolis, Delphi, Crete, Mykonos and Santorini.
-My purpose in life is to make you happy, as well as my children,” he said, in love and happy, “I’ll let the Captain know the time and day of departure.
-Perfect! -she exclaimed, contemplating with him, from above, in Santorini, its white houses and blue domes, shining under the sun.

That was how Christopher, at the end of the second week of January, organized his return trip to Santiago de Leon. So on Monday of the following week, he started this return trip with a stopover, to make the trip more comfortable for his mother, his mother-in-law and his son.
In Santiago de Leon
When they arrived at their parents’ mansion, they were welcomed by Daniela, Thiago and Arantza. With this trip, Maddie and Sabrina became closer friends, so they exchanged cell phone numbers and made appointments for activities together.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Finally, when they arrived at their mansion, they enjoyed the delicacies prepared by the chef, who had missed Sabrina very much. She always helped him and supported him in the recipes he decided to prepare for his bosses.
-It’s good to have you here Sabrina,” commented the chef when he was alone with her, “I missed you a lot! -he replied, with a deep and pleading look.
-I, too Piero, I missed you a lot,” answered Sabrina, with a broad smile.
She looked very well preserved at forty-eight years old. He approached and kissed her hands, very respectfully, a gesture that disturbed Sabrina, because never before, except for her late husband, had anyone done this to her.
She, quickly releasing his hands, said goodbye to him and left the kitchen for her room, totally disturbed. After this, she could not find a way to give him a souvenir she had brought back from her trip to the Greek Islands.

However, that night, tormented by what she was feeling, she called Maddie and told her what happened with Piero.
-Maddie, I felt very disturbed, I had only experienced this feeling before, with Amber’s father, with no one else,” she confessed, very worried.
-Calm down! Sabrina, this is very normal, between a man and a woman, of the same age as you, who spend a lot of time together, who share tastes and things,” Maddie assured her, to lower her level of concern.
-But how can I, at my age, be feeling this,” she questioned, embarrassed and ashamed.
-My friend, you are a young, beautiful, healthy woman, who is alive and feeling the needs of a human being,” Maddie told her with a smile.
-Maddie, I don’t know if I suddenly gave some wrong signal to Piero with my treatment. Although so far, it’s the only daring thing he’s done,” she concluded, relaxing a little.
-You watch, Sabrina! Apparently, you’re drowning in a glass of water. Keep treating Piero the same way, give him the gift you brought him, which by the way, didn’t go to him alone. Pretend that nothing has happened between you,” Maddie advised, with a smile.
-You’re right, Maddie,” Sabrina agreed, smiling, “I’m acting like a schoolgirl who doesn’t know what to do when she realizes that her friend likes her. God,” she muttered, regretful, and even more so when she reflected on the last words she uttered…
