It seemed undeniable.
Rafael:
-We know that there are people who look like others, even though there is no link or kinship between them,” expressed Martin.
“However, there are many coincidences here. However, you can’t take for granted what you are thinking, which I don’t even dare to pronounce,” he commented to me.
-You saw her a month after she was with me, try to remember. Make an effort, remember her features, her physique and compare it with this woman -I asked him, really worried.
-At this moment, I don’t have a clear evocation of her. To say that she looks like her or not would be a lie, because honestly, I don’t have a clear memory of her,” he confessed.
“What I do remember, is that she was dizzy and I got her leaning against the wall of the premises, because of this, I accompanied him inside.
-Dizzy? -I asked intrigued. “This happens to pregnant women,” I confirmed to my friend.
-Not necessarily! There are other diseases, which also cause dizziness,” he objected, discouraging me in my suspicions.
-Well! In any case, I can assure you that in my family album I have a photo where I look identical to the triplets when I was their age -I affirmed convinced without fear of being wrong.
-Nevertheless, before you run into a wall, which is what Sofia Morales Bourbon represents, I suggest you investigate,” Martin Elias confirmed, seriously worried.
-So be it! I invited her and all her family to the Hacienda, this will give me the opportunity to know more about her. Although, on second thought, you can help me with that through your family, because they live on the Island,” I commented to him.
-You know better than anyone, you know that I don’t get along with my father, nor with Jose David, mine is Yoly,” he confessed with a smile, apparently evoking his sister.
-The only thing that worries me is that when I take her to the Hacienda, my mother will take Mirelys. There’s no way to get this one through my eyes,” I answered worriedly.
-Ha, ha, ha, ha! Your mother is not going to give up until she sees you tied to a woman who is totally to her liking,” said my friend, demonstrating that he knows my mother very well.
Yes! And by the way, I don’t think Sofia will meet her expectations, because what she doesn’t have is a submissive and manageable attitude, what my mother looks for in the candidates for her daughter-in-law, ha, ha, ha! -I alluded with a laugh.
Sofia:
-Mother, let’s go! I’m tired and I want to go to bed early -I begged, to get my children out of the confinement where I had them.
-Well, daughter, I’m ready! -she answered, supporting me as always, taking me by the waist and walking towards the office where my children were.
In these three years, my mother has been unconditional. I never imagined the work she did at my father’s side, constantly supporting him, that’s why they succeeded together, they were a fully integrated team. I am proud of both of them.
-The Captain called me,” I announced. To let me know that the flight leaves at seven o’clock in the morning, because apparently there are storms coming tomorrow at noon. Because of this, we must leave early for the island.
When my children opened the door and saw us, they ran towards us with shouts and laughter, showing me on their Tablet, the picture of the man who looked just like them. I was strongly shocked, impressed, watching my mother blinking constantly, a very peculiar tic of her, when she does not like something.
She motioned to the escorts and asked each of them to move the children to my car, as she did not want to bring this up in front of them and I appreciated it. Because this was very uncomfortable for me, because I did not know what to answer.
Once the bodyguards walked in front of us with the children and out the emergency door, to avoid contact with other people, my mother commented to me:
-You can’t cover the sun with a finger, daughter! The triplets are the little clones of that man,” my mother said with an expressive look.
-I know, mother! -However, I was just like you, stunned, amazed at that look and that smile identical to my children’s, to say the least.
“Because his eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips are the same -I added confidentially- In any case, it strikes me, how do they have a picture with him? At what time was he with them? If he was almost all the time watching me,” I said.
-Ask Sheyli, who was in charge of them,” she suggested.
-You’re right! I’ll ask her when I get there,” I replied.
In the car, as the children were still awake, I preferred not to comment anything and went straight to my apartment. As we were close, the trip took very little time, about fifteen or twenty minutes.
When we arrived at the apartment, we took care of the children, along with the nannies, who bathed and fed them, while we continued with the conversation that had been pending.
-Daughter, I suggest you investigate everything related to this man,” my mother said.
-Especially his relationship with Reyner and Jose David! -I affirmed, interrupting my mother’s dialogue.
-Do you think they have something to do with what happened to you? -She questioned incredulously. “I don’t think Rafael Corner is a man who can be manipulated, and even less by that pair of inept people,” she said.
-I’ve been thinking about it too, but I can’t rule anything out,” I reasoned.
-He’s a young man, very educated, handsome! Dominant and arrogant. How he imposed you to give him the explanation about the routes and the new plans, yourself -replied mom.
-Yes, you can see he’s used to being in charge! -I said thoughtfully.
“From what little I was able to quickly research on the internet, he is an administrator, cattle rancher and heir to one of the largest fortunes in Ciudad La Rosa -I confessed- He is a real tycoon.
“According to what I read, he assumed total and absolute control of all his businesses from a very young age, upon his father’s death,” I added.
“This, included his own family, a sister and his mother, who is one of the most beautiful and elegant women in the country, but a tough cookie,” I clarified, smiling.
-Daughter, another thing I noticed is that Martin Elias seems to be his friend! -said my mother.
“They were together in the black Bentley and when you hung on Rafael’s arm, both Reyner and Jose David got angry, but Martin Elias had a mischievous smile on his face.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
-Who invited Rafael? -I asked, because my mother had been in charge of sending the invitations to my father’s associates here in town.
-Reyner! I remember that he told me that one of his son Jose David’s clients was a billionaire cattle rancher in the city. He was very important and had to be invited,” she clarified.
Just at that moment of our conversation, the twins who were arriving from the event came in. They were in charge of closing the event. They were both totally satisfied with the resounding success of this inauguration.
-We achieved several charter contracts per trip! As in the case of Rafael Corner. It is one of the most profitable contracts we signed and for a period of five years, even renewable,” Shayla said excitedly.
-By the way, did you notice the great resemblance between him and our triplets? -Sheyli asked, rolling her eyes and making a comical gesture, because of his physique.
-Sheyli, why did you allow him to get close to my children? -And he even took a selfie with them, which they now have as wallpaper on their Tablet, and they removed mine,” I asked uncomfortably…
