SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

-Is it true, what your father referred about Sofia? Does she have or has she had something with your brother? -I asked my friend, with mixed feelings. We left his father’s mansion, and my heart was consumed with rage, pain and great disappointment.

“I overestimated Sofia without knowing her. I considered her a ten woman, perfect, except for that bad temper she keeps almost all the time. Apparently it is something inherent to her personality. I was probably wrong,” I thought back with jealousy and regret.

“I need to investigate more about her, the information Leonel gave me was very general, who is really Sofia Morales? Besides, Martin Elias’ brother was jealous, could it be that he has had something with her”, I considered with concern.

-What is true or false about her? I don’t know, because I don’t know her well,” Martin replied.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“As I don’t agree with the way my father and brother act, I opened up to them and that’s why I left years ago from here to Ciudad La Rosa,” clarified Martin Elias.

-Yes, I remember, you mentioned that to me! -I added.

-What I can assure you is that she hasn’t had, nor has anything with my brother. He has been after her since she was a teenager and she has never accepted him,” Martin affirmed.

She, all the time refused to accept a commitment that my father and her father had agreed on,” said my friend, opening the door of the van, which I rented.

-Can you explain that to me? Why don’t I understand? -I said.

In this 21st century, there are still parents who pretend to force their children to marry the person they decide, like my mother,” I questioned, scandalized, getting into the van, ignoring Yoly’s call.

-My friend, Yoly is calling you,” Martin announced, looking back.

-Sorry, Martin! Honestly, I don’t have the patience right now to deal with anyone, and that includes your sister,” I answered seriously.

-Quiet! I understand you perfectly. Sometimes my little sister gets foolish, being so sweet and affectionate,” he said smiling, “She has been very spoiled.

-Did Sofia’s father want to force her to marry your brother? -I insisted on the question, intentionally ignoring what he was saying about his sister.

-Yes! However, she never accepted this. She did not obey him. In fact, I understand that is why she left the Island to study in Rose City,” he added.

-From what you have heard about her, do you think she is one of those crazy girls, who wastes her life and youth in alcohol and drugs? -I asked again.

-I wouldn’t know, my friend. As I told you a few minutes ago, I don’t know her well! In any case, since I started to get to know her again, she seems to me to be an upright, judicious woman, and I didn’t know she was a single mother either,” he assured me.

-I knew it, because she told me herself,” I commented.

-What does that mean? Are you after her? Did you propose? -Martin asked, curious and with a mischievous smile.

-Yes, I’m crazy about her. However, one thing is clear to me, I’m not going to get into a relationship with a woman of dubious morality,” I pointed out, more and more convinced that I must know everything about her.

-In that sense, I’m just like you, I can have a good time with anyone. But, for something more serious, it must be with an honest, respectable, credible woman,” Martin confessed, pointing out to me where I should follow to get to the hotel.

-Thank you, my friend! For your support and empathy with me. I am not going to give up on Sofia until I can prove that what your father said is true. Can you help me by looking for information about her? -I asked, overwhelmed.

-Of course, you can count on me! -Martin announced.

The two of us arrived at the hotel and headed for the bar inside the hotel. There, I spent some time with him, having a few drinks to forget the bad time and the bad experience. On the other hand, it was my first visit to Paradise Island and I had to celebrate.

After all this time together, I said goodbye to Martin and went up to my room to sleep. However, before I called the pilot of the ship and asked him to be ready to leave the next day, very early in the morning.

The next day, the Narrator:

Without saying goodbye to anyone, Rafael left in his jet together with Martin Elias bound for Ciudad La Rosa. He did not say goodbye to Estefania because he did not want to confront Sofia. Before approaching her again, he would first investigate her.

Upon arriving in Ciudad La Rosa, Rafael, instead of going to his mansion, moved to his apartment. When he entered the apartment, he called his assistant Leonel, with whom he met at noon for lunch with a client.

He chose to stay at the apartment to avoid confronting his mother at the mansion. Likewise, he instructed his assistant Leonel to send someone he trusted to Paradise Island to investigate Sofia Morales Borbon in her hometown.

That same afternoon, before finishing his work at the production company, Leonel introduced him to the detective who would carry out the investigations. Obviously, Rafael kept to himself what he wanted to investigate, so as not to vitiate the detective and so that he would do an objective job.

In Paradise Island

Sofia:

I started the day eager to see Rafael again and seek to improve my relationship with him. So far, I have faced him as if he were an enemy, when he really is not. Before falling asleep last night, I meditated a lot on what Benjamin saw in me, for this one.

I went into the bathroom, undressed and facing the mirror, I detailed my beautiful youthful body, without a trace of fingerprints or marks to show that I had gone through a triplet pregnancy. My measurements are almost perfect, although wider in the hips and busts.

So far, with my twenty-four years, I have not had a dating relationship with someone. If not for my triplets, I would be virginal, waiting for a prince charming, which I used to live and see only in my dreams.

I stepped into the shower, let the warm water fully awaken my body. I washed myself, turned off the tap, took my towel and very gently caressing my body, dried it. So far, I have not been able to experience these experiences with someone else.

Once I got dressed, I left the room and went to my children’s room, but they were not there. I reflected that I have days that I do not share my time with them, being these the most important in my life. When I went downstairs I found my mother sitting in the auxiliary dining room with my three treasures and my two friends Sheyli and Shayla.

They, got up and came over to me to hug and greet me like two sisters. They both looked very intrigued, I deduced that my mother had already told them about Rafael’s visit to the house.

-They hadn’t been here for a long time! -I said, because I like to have them around, especially my children, because they are the aunts with whom they play, go for walks, argue and jealousy.

-We have had a lot of work to do! Remember that our branch in Ciudad La Rosa has already started production – Sheyli added.

-That’s good! This is also due to your management in your respective positions,” I affirmed proud of them.

-Obviously, my friend, without your support this would not have been possible,” added Shayla, excited.

-You have done an excellent job! And for proof, the excellent figures that the accountant gave me this week,” I assured her.

“Mommy, what’s the deal with the haras for my children’s foals? -I asked, with a vehement desire to know what had happened with that?

-I honestly don’t know! Yesterday, we decided to rent the haras from “Mis Amazonas”. Rafael told me that he will review the copies of the documents that were given to him and then he will let me know,” my mother announced.

-Yoly? -I demanded.

-I just found out, when I called the hotel, that Rafael left early this morning! -My mother protested, somewhat disappointed. “He left just like that, without telling me anything! -she said, with an expressive look on her face.

-Oh dear, mother! Your friend, it seems that he came to take revenge and do to you what we did to him in his hacienda -I reflected, keeping deep inside me, the sadness that this produced in me…
