SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Sofia:

Once Rafael left the mansion, I went upstairs and walked to my room, locking myself in so as not to be disturbed. I didn’t want to be lectured by my mother for my behavior in front of Rafael. In addition to this, I don’t know what explanation to give, because I don’t understand myself.

I went to the bathroom and made a mental review of what she told me and what I told Rafael. That’s how I realized that I tacitly accepted that Mirelys was my rival. Since I did not refute it when he quoted it.

-Grrrr…! -I grunted, thinking that I somehow showed my feelings towards him. However, I came to my senses all at once and questioned myself.

-What’s wrong with you Sofia, what feelings can you show for a man you barely know? -I questioned myself, out loud.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

-I’d better take a bath, go to bed and tomorrow we’ll see what the new day brings! -I concluded to prioritize my activities.

At that moment, I heard my mother’s knock on the door and I preferred to ignore them. Determined to rest, I dried my hair, did my beauty routine and lay down to sleep. I felt really tired, exhausted and a bit disappointed, not knowing from what?

The next day, the Narrator:

It being eight thirty minutes past eight in the morning, Rafael got up and headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up and get the hell out. He got up very hungry. Meanwhile, at the Morales Bourbon residence, Estefania, ready and dressed, together with her grandchildren, were waiting for their guest to have breakfast with him on the terrace of the mansion.

Meanwhile, Sofia in her room had received a call from Benjamin, who asked her to meet him, but there in his own house, which she accepted. More to see Rafael again than anything else.

From the window of her huge room, she watched her mother and her triplets, sitting at the table she had arranged to have breakfast with her guest, in the garden. That’s how she saw him arrive, dressed very casually, which made him look even more attractive.

-Good morning,” he greeted everyone.

-Good morning,” replied the children and their grandmother in chorus, with a smile.

-Are we ready to go out? -he asked with a smile.

-Yessssss! -replied the children excitedly. In the meantime, their grandmother made them understand that without food they could not go out. So they ate a tasty breakfast, which was accompanied by a variety of fruits.

-Well, children, let’s eat,” Rafael encouraged them, so that they would eat well and make the most of their time on this quest. Very discreetly, he turned his gaze towards the window, where he sensed she was, but saw no one.

For her part, she watched, sitting by the window, as they happily shared breakfast. This made her experience a strong jealousy, not being part of this moment, because no one invited her. However, Rafael felt a strong look from someone around him.

He looked up again and observed her from afar, next to the window. She, upon being discovered, turned away from the window and left her room to wait for Benjamin in the office. When he arrived, Sofia locked herself in, to agree on the actions to take against Jose David and his family.

On the other hand, Rafael and Estefania went for a walk to visit the few paddocks available on the island for horse breeding. He, as an expert in the matter, made certain suggestions to her and after visiting all of them, they decided to choose the last one.

Sofia:

-Benjamin, were you able to find out about the meeting at the Melia? Which was the guest from Ciudad La Rosa? -I asked, looking for information and worried about Rafael’s visit to the island.

-They haven’t confirmed it yet, but from a photo that was uploaded on the networks of Yoly del Mar with Rafael Corner, it seems he was the guest,” Benjamin told me, assuring me that he didn’t give much credibility to the news.

-Is Yoly del Mar here? -I asked anxiously.

-Yes, apparently she arrived last night with her suitor. Maybe it’s Rafael Corner himself, because either it was her or someone linked to her who uploaded that photo of them to the networks,” said Benjamin.

-Did anyone see them together at the Melia? That is, were they in direct contact with him? -I asked.

-No, I don’t know. But don’t worry, I’ll clear that up right away. Let me make a call, I already have someone looking into it and I’ll give you all the answers,” he asked.

After a conversation between Benjamin and one of his sources, he told me….

-It is false that it is Rafael Corner, he is on the Island, but he is staying at the Melia, he arrived last night on a private flight. What is more, according to what the detective I hired has just informed me, he has not interviewed any of them.

-I can corroborate that information. He is with my mother and my children looking for a haras for the foals he gave to my triplets,” I said with a smile.

-I didn’t know you had a good friendship with him,” he said with a mocking smile.

-Why the teasing chuckle, Benjamin? -I questioned.

-No reason,” he revealed, continuing with a mocking gesture, which even showed in his eyes.

-I don’t believe you! -I confessed.

-I had the impression, on the day of the inauguration, that you captivated that tycoon. He was too anxious to get close to you and win you over, ha ha ha! I think he succeeded,” he said, with a curious look.

-I don’t think so! Look how the networks are posting pictures of him and a supposed romance with Yoly del Mar! -I assured him.

-That man must be showered with women and many of them are even paying for publicity at his expense,” he joked.

-In my opinion, he has a harem, because I had the opportunity this weekend to meet the toxic woman he lives with in his hacienda,” I confessed annoyed, again doubting him.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, daughter, when you go, I come! -declared Benjamin, again, with his mocking laughter.

-Why do you say that? -I questioned, bored…
