Hello, everyone. Your girl's back to update another chapter for you all. Sorry for the long wait, everyone, I've been trying to finish up some of my other stories that I haven't done in awhile. Thank you for your patience. I don't own the canon characters while I only own my oc characters.

Out in the outskirt of Santa Cecilia, both Sofía and Adrián Rivera have been driving around nearby towns to see if their beloved only son were in any of them. But neither of those towns had Héctor in them. César drove the couple back to town after another failed search for the missing Rivera boy. He too was afraid of the worst of his young master. Especially when there's rumors going around about Héctor being spirited away by the spirit of a dead bride.

"Oh, it's almost dawn! Where is he? Where's our baby, Adrián?" Sofía said fearfully. The stress of the disappearance of her baby has cause her hair to be out of place and her makeup to be ruined. But she didn't care about her appearance since all she wants now is her son back in her arms.

"We will find him, mi amor. We need to remain strong for Héctor's sake," Adrián said to his beloved wife.

"I should had never arrange a marriage with that family in the first place. All I wanted was for him no longer being look down by the elites in this town. I thought that a marriage between him and Imelda will make things better for him. I just didn't want Héctor to be feel like he's nothing by those rich people. Now, I just want our son back with us!" She cried as she hug her husband.

Adrián gently rub his wife's back as she continued to cry her eyes out. He pray that wherever Héctor is, the latter knows that his family still loves no matter what and misses him greatly and more than life itself.

"Tomorrow we can start again, Sofía. We can't find our son if we're tired," He said to his wife.

"César, por favor llévanos a casa," Adrián said to the driver.

"Sí, Señor Rivera," César said.

While they were near Santa Cecilia, the couple kept hoping and praying that their son will return to them safely. They couldn't imagine that they outlive Héctor and have to bury him when it should be the other way around.

Once they were finally back in town, they could see that they were the only ones in Santa Cecilia that are still awoke. Everybody in town went to bed where the Riveras still went searching for their boy. When dawn breaks, Adrián will offer a grand reward for anyone who can find and bring back his missing son.

It was dark outside with no lights on in the streets and with no sound but the wheels of the car driving towards the Rivera manor. But the couple didn't care about how spooky that the night was as they couldn't get their mind off of their beloved son. The night couldn't compare their fear of not seeing their son alive again and finding his lifeless body near town. They would give anything to see their son again.

When César drove near the manor, he tried to pull the brakes but find they didn't work. Again, he try to pull the brakes, but again it was no useless. The brakes wouldn't work! The driver try to again and again to stop the car but pulling the brakes didn't help.

When Adrián notice that they had pass the manor, he turn to César to see the old man was having problems with brakes. Something that never has happen before.

"César, what's going on? Why are we passing our house?" Adrián asks while Sofía look at her house as they drove passed it.

"Perdóame, señor. The brakes won't working!" The old man said to the couple who became fearful of what will happen, but more fearful of not seeing their son again than of their fates.

César try his best to stop the car. The car has been working fine all day. There was nothing with it until now. César try to think of ways of what was wrong with the car. The last town they visit was with the Rivera couple went to see around town to see of their son was there cold and alone. Leaving César to watch the car. However, when he was alone, he could had sworn that he heard something in an alleyway behind him. But when he went to go look, it was nothing. César did bumped into another man when he turn back who was drunk and singing. César didn't think too much of it. But he had a really dark feeling about that man.

Adrián and Sofía try to get out, but it was too late. The car then flipped and crush into an alleyway. The people who lived in that area had woken up from the crushing noises and went out to see the scene.

Flores manor

Dawn broke as Ernesto de la Cruz had gotten up and getting prepare for his wedding today. In a few hours, Imelda Flores will be his wife along with what's hers will be is as well.

"A perfect day for a wedding. I hope that my plans will go according today," Ernesto said as he look at the mirror in his room.

Ernesto then heard knocking on his door. He went over to see who it was. Opening the door to see the butler of the Flores family and someone he hired last night for to get ride of a problem for him.

"Señor de la Cruz, this man says he works for you and he came here to tell that he got ride of a problem you were having," The butler, his name being Nicolás if Ernesto remember correctly, said to the man.

"Oh, sí! I asked him to take care something. Mi amigo, is the problem taking of?" Ernesto ask the man.

"Sí, señor. It's all taken care of now. There won't be a problem anymore," The man said.

Ernesto nodded and handed the man his reward. The man then left with Nicolás escorting the man out of the manor.

Ernesto smile as he look back at his mirror. Things are going to go according to plan. Soon everything will be his. Just like all those years ago when he met her.

Thank you all for reading this chapter. Ernesto now has everything going to plans. I hope you like I handle Adrián and Sofía's deaths in this chapter. I've been planning to kill them off unlike Victor's parents. Sorry to those who like Héctor's parents, but sacrifice had to be made.
