SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

At Hacienda Los Rincones, the Narrator:

-Excuse me? -Anastasia questioned, “I’m sorry if I told a lie! -she added, totally ignoring her sister’s angry gesture.

-I think you should seriously apologize to Mirelys! She’s my guest,” Camila said arrogantly.

-No problem for me, Camila! -said Mirelys.

-So what? Am I not your guest too? -said Anastasia, convinced that her sister had brought this woman to involve her son in some engagement with her.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ha! But that will be if I allow it” thought Anastasia, looking with narrowed eyes at her sister, who, seeing her make this gesture, understood that she was up to something.

Camilla’s twin, left without another word and went to the stable. Once there, she asked the foreman to saddle her horse, which was going for a ride.

-Yes, Mrs. Anastasia, I’ll do it,” he answered and went out to saddle the horse.

A few minutes later, she was trotting to the river and then to the waterfall, her nephew’s favorite place since he was a child. Many times they shared this place on their long trips around the ranch. There, she enjoyed contemplating the scenery for a while, but without going into the water.

Then, upon returning to the house, she went up to her room, locked herself in and called her nephew to alert him about the visit that was waiting for him, so that he would not be taken by surprise. She has never agreed with her sister’s way of acting, wanting to impose on her son, a woman she does not like.

-Ring, ring!

-Hello aunt! How are you? Please give me your blessing! -he asked with affection and respect.

-I am well and waiting for you at the Hacienda. God bless you, my love. You know I love you very much! -she assured him.

“There is something I must tell you,” she explained, serious and displeased with her sister, “Your mother has brought a guest who, it seems to me, is a little vixen after you,” she confessed with regret and anger. Which, in turn, made her nephew angry as well.

-Mirelys Zambrano? -he asked with regret, because this was going to hinder his plans with Sofia and he could no longer retract the invitation he had made to her.

-The same! I imagined that it was the work of your mother, to wrap you up, but don’t worry! Here is your aunt, to defend you and help you,” she said, in full support of her nephew.

-I was thinking of calling you to invite you to the hacienda for a few days and to stay until I introduce you to three adorable little people I met on this trip and I wish you would meet,” he confessed, thinking of Sofia’s triplets.

“Well! Actually they are four people, whom I wish you to meet and help me to receive them and take care of them as what they are, a queen and her three princes,” he said, with mixed feelings for them.

-Are you talking about a woman with three children? Heh heh heh heh! That’s right, she’s going to kill your mother,” she commented, changing her appearance to a funnier and friendlier one, “Heh, heh, heh, heh!

-Yes, aunt! -he replied, with a smile.

-Well, that’s all there is to say! I’m staying here! For as long as you need me,” she answered, ready to confront her sister or whoever, to defend her nephew’s peace of mind and happiness.

-I think it’s perfect! -I leave early tomorrow morning,” he declared, thinking of the surprise he will give not only to his aunt.

-Have a good trip, son, and take care of yourself! -she advised, blessing him. She loved her nephews and nieces very much, but especially him. Since he came into the world, he became the light of her eyes.

-Sure! -he affirmed, hanging up the call.

On Paradise Island, at the shipping company, Sofia:

It’s been a strong morning, I haven’t even had time to eat, since I arrived at the airport, I came straight to the Naviera, I haven’t rested a minute. I’d better call my mother, so I know about my children.

Besides, I have to call Rafael to give him an answer about my visit to his ranch, which I have no choice but to set it for this Friday.

When I looked for my cell phone to call my mother, I noticed several notifications on it. When I opened my networks, I found as a trend the news about the inauguration of my branch in Ciudad La Rosa. The comments about it were all positive.

However, when I saw a picture of Rafael and Yoly Del Mar, I was struck by the fact that he seems to be hugging her. It is not clearly visible, but that is the impression it gives.

[The magnate and successful owner of Hacienda Los Rincones, Rafael Corner, was present at the inauguration of the branch of the shipping company from Isla Paradise”, published El Informante.]

[He was accompanied by the young and beautiful Yoly Del Mar Medina, daughter of one of the great owners of the shipping company and with whom he apparently has a surprising sentimental relationship”, the article continued, highlighting the proximity between them].

[This is the first time they are seen together in an event of this nature and in such a close, I would say romantic, attitude”, closing this way, the note of this photo].

[They make a perfect couple and this is how two families with common interests are united”, chatted an internet user].

[The young and coveted bachelor, Rafael Corner, is getting more and more handsome and attractive, anyone would give anything to be in the place of the young Medina heiress” commented another of her followers].

Finally, and skipping reading the thousands of comments, in which they congratulated Rafael and Yoly for their imminent marriage, I stopped reading and analyzed some moments of the inauguration, when I noticed that she was escorting him.

“No wonder! She was all the time on one side of him, as if she was guarding and marking her ground.”

“Well! Probably, if I were in the same position as her, I would do the same. Rafael, he is a very handsome, beautiful, gentlemanly and powerful masculine specimen, anyone would wish to be in his place.”

“In any case, I need to know who he really is? What is he looking for by approaching me? Why are my children identical to him? To do so, I need to get closer to him. Even if it is against the will of the pretentious Yoly.” Concluding with this, I called my mother…
