SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

On Paradise Island, the Narrator:

-No! -answered Estefania, hesitating whether or not to mention the relationship her daughter was starting with Rafael Rincon, the rich and wealthy cattle magnate, producer and exporter of Ciudad La Rosa. A billionaire man, with businesses in several countries around the world.

“What if it is not the Medina family, if it is a common underworld? It could be that when they realize that my daughter is the girlfriend of a billionaire, they are looking for more money,” Estefania analyzed.

“Lord, enlighten me!” she begged, keeping this information to herself for now.

-Are you sure? -insisted the Commissioner, observing that she was hesitating.

-Totally! -she said, preferring to keep Rafael’s secret.

That morning, Sofia’s mansion was taken over by the anti-kidnapping group of the Island, who, at Benjamin’s request, kept everything in silence from the media. They tapped all the phones in the house, including Estefania’s. The service personnel were interviewed by one of them.

The service personnel were interviewed one by one by this commando group. They were sad and worried about their employer and boss, whom they appreciated very much. Anyway, that night no one slept in the mansion.

In Ciudad La Rosa, Rafael:

“What’s wrong my love, why don’t you answer?” -I questioned out loud, unable to move from the Clinic, because my mother got worse due to an internal hemorrhage that had not been discovered, reason for which she underwent surgery.

At the crack of dawn, my mother came out of the operating room. According to the surgeon, everything was a success. Aunt Anastasia and Diana were with me at the Clinic, waiting for the result of the surgery. At the end, the doctor spoke to me.

-We will take her to the ICU because there she will have a doctor permanently with her and she will also have the nursing service, which will provide her with integral care and attention,” he concluded.

-I want the best care for her! -I will spare no expense. My mother deserves the best.

-Son! Go get some rest, I’ll stay here. Diana, you should go too, your husband and children are waiting for you,” said Aunt Anastasia, who was watching Mirelys, who was in a corner next to her mother, with rejection.

-I’ll be there in a while, aunt. Especially to take a bath -I manifested- Since yesterday morning when I did it to go to Sofia’s house, I haven’t bathed again -I whispered, passing the fright we lived with my mother.

-Calm down, son! Go and rest,” she begged me, holding my arm.

-Yes, I’m going to please you! -I answered, running my hands over my face.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

-Aunt, I prefer to stay with you, I want to be here when mommy wakes up,” my sister Diana requested, wiping her tears.

Once my mother came out of the operating room and I could see her, I kissed her and whispered in her ear that I love her and so did aunt Anastasia and Diana, even though she was still sedated. After this, I withdrew to an area that was alone and insisted again to call Sofia, but she did not answer me.

Faced with this concern and uncertainty, I decided to call Estefania, because I had a bad feeling. When she answered, I noticed her worried as if she was hesitating to say something.

-Hello, Estefania, how are you? I greeted her and asked politely, “I tried to call Sofia and I couldn’t get through,” I said.

-Oh, Rafael! -she wailed, bursting into tears without explaining that her cell phone was tapped.

-What happened, Estefania? Where is Sofia? -I asked, anguished, “Why are you crying?

-Since yesterday at about six o’clock in the afternoon when she went to the mall, we don’t know anything about her. Apparently, she was kidnapped -she was in tears, so I could hardly understand what she was saying.

-For God’s sake, Estefania, why didn’t you tell me? -I asked in anguish, “I’ll take care of it, he’s on his way,” I announced, forgetting for the moment that my mother was not out of danger yet.

-Rafael! Rafael! -she called to me in anguish.

“The local police are making inquiries. They have not yet called for ransom,” she explained, sobbing.

-Estefania! I can’t just stand here and do nothing. I know I am just beginning a relationship with your daughter. However, I feel that he has been in my life forever and I love him,” I confessed, not wanting to hide this deep feeling any longer.

-I understand you, Rafael! When the Commissioner asked me if she had a boyfriend, I hid your relationship out of fear.

-Fear? Fear of what or of whom, Estefania? -I asked, remembering when Yoly Del Mar, Martin Elias’ sister, appeared to us at the Hotel.

-On the one hand, your social and economic condition, you are a very rich man and suddenly they want to take advantage of this, to try to get more money from us,” she said.

-And on the other hand? -I asked with concern.

-What happened to them, the night they went out to the hotel party. Yoly tried to attack Sofia in the bathroom and my daughter defended herself by throwing the liquid soap bottle that was on the sink in Sofia’s face,” she explained to me.

-Estefania, please give this information to the person in charge of the investigation. Is she someone you trust? -I asked.

-No, he is not someone I trust, I have known him for a few hours, when Benjamin brought him to the house,” she told me.

-Is he the shareholder of the shipping company? I think, if I’m not mistaken, Sofia trusts him,” I assured, waiting for her answer.

-Yes, Benjamin was my husband’s best friend,” she confirmed.

-Then, tell her what happened in the bathroom, because really and despite being there with Sofia, I didn’t know what happened between them. Do they have a rivalry between them, for something in particular? -I asked.

-Yes!” she affirmed me, making a pause and a prolonged silence. Until I heard her voice again.

“They have never been friends. Yoly has been very spoiled and spoiled, she is arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, in short, nothing my daughter likes.

-I know, because I know her through her brother Martin Elias, who is my best friend. What’s more, it seems to me that she even has mental problems,” I confessed, incurring in an indiscretion.

-What rivalry is there between them? -I asked again.

-You! -Estefania confessed frankly.

-Me? -I asked astonished- But how? We are just starting a relationship with each other,” I questioned again.

-Since the day of the opening of the branch in Ciudad La Rosa, Yoly has confronted my daughter,” she told me, and I was stunned.

This means that the same thing happened to Sofia as it did to me, it was love at first sight.

-Estefania, I’m going to ask the captain of my jet to take me there. Can I go directly to your house? Don’t you know if there’s any problem with that? -I said.

-Not at all. Honestly, I need you to talk to the kids, who I haven’t let out of their playroom and I don’t know how to explain this to them.

-Perfect! I’ll call you before I leave,” and I said goodbye to her, feeling worse than I did when they took my mother to the operating room.

When I hung up the call, I went to my aunt, with whom I unburdened myself and told her about this new adversity. Therefore, I had to go to Paradise Island and we would be in contact by cell phone. I asked for total discretion, because I didn’t want Mirelys or her mother to know. And so, I left for the island…
