SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The Narrator:

-How so? What do you mean, your triplets? -Diana questioned, listening only to the sound the cell phone made when the call was disconnected.

Diana dialed her aunt’s cell phone number again, however, there was no answer and the same happened when she called her brother.

“I don’t understand! Rafael has triplets, and he hasn’t told me anything. I can’t believe it!” she thought, walking back to her mother’s room.

At the hacienda, Rafael:

After talking to my sister, I handed the cell phone to my aunt, who looked at me in astonishment, because even though she suspected that the triplets were my children, I still hadn’t confirmed this truth to her.

-When are you going to tell me about the triplets? -asked Aunt, with a deep look in her eyes.

-You know, that answer! I confirmed it the same day you did. It was a big surprise for me to see my birthmark on their breasts. However, from the conversation with Estefania and Sheyli I verified that they are my children,” I proudly affirmed.

-I don’t understand! -When I asked you last time, you told me they were not yours,” she said.

-Because I didn’t know how Sofia didn’t know either! -I confessed.

-There’s something I don’t understand! How, if she’s the mother, didn’t she know you were their father? Or if she did, why didn’t she tell you? -asked Aunt, doubtfully.

-No, even Sofia doesn’t know that I’m the father of her children,” I clarified with shame and embarrassment to Aunt Anastasia, who became more confused as I spoke.

-Rafael! How can a mother not know who the father of her children is? Unless… Did you drug her? Did you put her to sleep or sedate her? I don’t know, what do I know,” she asked, more and more worried, I would say terrified, thinking the worst of me.

-It’s a long thing to explain, Aunt. Let’s go to dinner first, our guests are waiting for us! -I said, to calm her down a bit.

When we went out to the terrace, everything was ready for dinner, the staff had adapted three large tables, where we could all sit comfortably. I sat Sofia on my right side, even though the triplets wanted to sit next to me.

During the meal, we really enjoyed the witticisms of my children and my nephews and nieces, there are five of them, but they represent about ten. All in all, we all enjoyed this beautiful company. At the end of dinner, we stayed on the terrace contemplating the night.

Their favorite subject was horses, especially their foals. They are anxious to ride them, but they are still four years old and so are the twins, to whom I also gave two foals.

-Children, go to sleep! -Estefania exclaimed, clapping her hands, talking to the triplets, who didn’t want to go to bed yet.

To help with them, Sasha, my brother-in-law, got up and did the same, calling his twins, whom he took by their hands and led them directly to their rooms. He then locked himself in his room.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Later, Sofia, to help her mother with the children, accompanied him and so did Sheyli. In the meantime, Aunt Anastasia, being alone with me, asked me again for an explanation about the origin of the triplets, because if there was one thing she was sure of, it was that they were mine.

I sat down next to her and explained, point by point, everything that happened that night when I made Sofia mine. I did tell her about the call Martin Elias made to me, a month after that.

-Son, what a wrong decision at that moment! -She argued. “Suddenly, if you had assumed your responsibility and even more so when you were aware that I had not been touched by anyone else, this would not be happening,” she said.

-I know, aunt! You don’t know how I regret every day, every second, that I asked Martin Elias to protect my identity,” I explained, with sadness and regret.

-Well, but you still have time to make up for that mistake! -I imagine you’re thinking of formally joining Sofia.

-The problem is how Sofia will take this discovery, when she recovers her memory -I confessed worried- I love her, she is the woman of my life! And what I want most of all is to marry her, to legalize my situation with my children.

-Those children adore you, without knowing that you are their father, imagine how it will be for them, to discover the truth,” she commented, with a smile on her lips.

-Yes, Aunt! My children and I have experienced the call of the blood. Without knowing it, the triplets won me over from the first moment I stumbled upon them,” I said with immense love for them.

-Son! After the storm, comes the calm, trust in God, everything will have a solution, especially for the children,” she advised me, hugged me and said goodbye, walking towards the rooms where they are staying.

As I was left alone, sitting in one of the armchairs on the terrace, I remembered that night, of our first date, at the hotel’s anniversary party, especially how beautiful and beautiful Sofia looked.

“My God, no wonder I felt like I knew her from before! She was my goddess of love, my goddess of that night. Just remembering her kisses and caresses makes my skin crawl”, thinking about this, I got up from my chair to take a bath with cold water.

At that moment, Sofia arrived, apparently she was looking for someone, so I approached her and asked her….

-Do you want something, my love? -I asked, bringing my hand to her face to caress her cheek.

-Yes, you,” she answered, without taking her eyes off me or refusing my caress. At that answer, my heart raced… I hugged her, pulling her tightly to my chest. In the meantime, she took refuge in him.

“God! I must control my instincts, my desires, for the good of all,” I thought.

-Come, my love, tell me why are you looking for me? -I asked, leading her by the hand to the large sofa on the terrace.

-I need you to help me remember,” she pleaded, “And you were right when you told me that my children are yours. They look just like you,” she said.

-Yes, they are totally mine! -I assured her.

“Before we sat down to eat, I spoke with the Neurologist who saved your life, who got you, rescued you and by the way, who has already been released,” I informed her so that nothing would torment her.

“He suggested to me not to allow you to perform activities that generate an effort for you, either physical or mental. Because of this, he insisted that you not exert yourself mentally, but the opposite,” I explained, holding her close to me, wanting to kiss her.

-I will try not to think, not to analyze what you tell me,” she begged me, separating from my chest and lifting her beautiful face towards me.

-Promise? -I asked, fixing my gaze on her perfect and lined lips, which urged me to kiss her, besides seeing myself reflected in her beautiful blue eyes.

-Yes,” she answered me, raising her right hand as a sign of promise.

That was how I gave her an explanation of the last hours we spent together. I also explained what happened according to the videos we watched. She, at times, became upset and clung to me as if seeking protection.

Finally, I explained to her that she was the CEO and heiress of a shipping company, located on Paradise Island. At the mention of this, she got up from the couch and walked to the railing of the terrace, which overlooks the pool and let some tears flow.

Immediately, I did the same and walked behind her….

-I don’t remember any of the things you told me! -she whispered to me, letting her tears flow. I calmed her down by hugging her tightly, pulling her close and making her lean against my chest.

-This is why I didn’t want to tell you anything! Let’s wait for the memories to come to you on their own. The neurologist will see you next week and tell us, what should we do? Do you think so? -I asked lovingly.

-Yes,” she replied, nodding her head in agreement.

In this state, I preferred not to tell her anything else, but simply invited her to go to bed and took her to her room. Once there, like the first night she was in my hacienda, she said goodbye giving me a kiss on the cheek.

Upon entering my room, I went straight to the bathroom, filled the jacuzzi and spent about an hour in it, soothing my sensations and emotions. Then I tried to sleep…
