SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

On Paradise Island, Sofia:

“Definitely, he is a scoundrel and unfaithful. Likewise, a womanizer who plays with the feelings of others. And my mother defending him. I went out of my room to her bedroom to show her this news.

-Knock! Knock! -I knocked on her bedroom door.

-Come in! -she answered.

-And that, Mommy? It’s strange that you’re in bed at this hour,” I asked, worrying about her.

-I started playing with the triplets, soccer. And everything hurts,” she said with a smile.

-You don’t have to indulge them in everything, Mommy. You’re not a young girl anymore,” I said, getting closer to the bed so she could watch the news that was trending that day.

She picked up her cell phone and began to check and scroll through all the news. At the end, she finished reading and assured me that they were just stories from someone who paid to have them published. Incredulous at his response, I refuted him….

-He left, after eating with them. He didn’t even say goodbye to us, he didn’t even tell us, maybe he’s getting even for what we did to him or he’s following Reyner’s instructions.

-Daughter, do you really think Rafael is that kind of man, the kind of man that others manipulate and manipulate like a puppet, at their whim? -she asked me, annoyed.

-Mommy, at this stage of my life, I don’t believe in anyone! And even less in someone we are just getting to know, who, by the way, has lied to us repeatedly,” I pointed out, staring at her.

-Do you still doubt him? I don’t know what he has done to you to make you doubt him like that. I particularly trust him. Tomorrow he will come with me to sign the lease of the Haras at the public registry,” she assured me.

-That is to say! That after he promised to take care of the foals, while my children reach the age to ride them, now he backed out! God! And yet you trust him -I protested bored.

-At no time has he ever told me he won’t keep that part of the bargain. In any case, he informed me that he’ll be fitting out the place, so that the foals won’t feel the change,” my mother said, in his defense.

“If you want, will you come with us tomorrow to the signing? And ask him all the doubts you have regarding this,” she requested, looking me in the eyes.

“And to thank him for everything he does for your children. Don’t be so ungrateful, Sofia! -she called my attention.

He has no responsibility to come and get the place for the foals and he has done it,” my mother replied angrily, trying to convince me.

-What time will that be? -I asked, giving up, since apparently my mother had become her unconditional defender.

-At nine o’clock, at the public registry,” she informed me.

-I’ll be there,” I affirmed, “We’ll leave together.

-Perfect!

Then I left for my triplets’ room. For now and while they grow up, the three of them will sleep in the same room, the biggest one in the mansion. Besides, they have another room almost the same size, where they play. I have tried to give them the best.

This is not only from the material and economic point of view, but also includes the educational and spiritual aspect, with principles and values, to make them good men.

-Mommy! -cried the youngest of my children when he saw me. Getting up from his bed, he opened his arms to be the first one I hugged and kissed.

-I thought they were asleep,” I mentioned with a smile and ran to him, to indulge his wishes.

-Mommy and me? -Rafael Argenis asked me, doing the same as his brother. He stood up and opened his little arms to hug me.

-Here I come, son,” I affirmed, smiling with him.

-And me? -He asked me, Rafael Angel, with his arms crossed, on his chest.

-Also my love, here I am,” I answered, hugging him tightly.

They asked me to read them a story, which they chose. I hadn’t even begun to read when Rafael Angel questioned me:

-Mommy, why don’t you marry Rafael to be our daddy? He loves us very much -he argued me, with an affectionate look.

“My God! I don’t know what to answer, so as not to hurt his feelings. I can’t comment on the doubts I have against him. Likewise, I cannot explain that he has not shown the slightest interest in me, but that everything so far is for them.

-Children! To choose a daddy for you, it must be done by mutual agreement. That is, he must like me and I must like him. It is not enough for you to like him. Do you understand me?

-Yes, mommy. That means, Rafael likes you, but you don’t like him, right? -My son Rafael Argenis demanded.

-How do you know Rafael likes me? -I asked curiously.

-Because you are very beautiful mommy and we all like you,” he clarified, so I ate him up with kisses, literally speaking.

-Heh heh heh heh! My love, just because mommy is beautiful and you like me, doesn’t mean that everybody likes me,” I smiled proudly at my little boy.

“In any case, those are matters for adults, not for children,” I answered so as not to delve too deeply into this topic. It gets on my nerves, touching such a delicate subject with them, being so small they are so audacious,” I reflected worried.

“They had never touched this subject before and now they live constantly thinking about it. It all started with Rafael’s arrival in our lives. Could it be that he has insinuated something to them? My children are very intelligent.

“Am I still reading the story? -I asked to bury the subject for today.

-Yes, Mommy,” the three replied in chorus, smiling to each other.

Afterwards, I finished reading the story and went to my room to chat on WhatsApp with Shayla and Sheyli, who had left that afternoon for Ciudad La Rosa, to take another trip to satisfy the needs of new clients.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

The next day, the Narrator:

Early in the morning, Martin and Rafael arrived at Paradise Island again in the latter’s private jet. They rented two vehicles, so that each could get around smoothly. Rafael drove to the registry, while Martin drove to his home.

Rafael:

When I arrived at the registry I noticed another seven-seater Range Rover in the parking lot and I don’t know why, but I immediately related it to Sofia and her triplets. I got out of the van and walked to the office, where the signing of the document would take place.

When I opened the door to the main room of the registry, I saw Estefania, Sofia and my little clones. They, upon seeing me, ran towards me and hugged me by the legs, giving me an affectionate welcome. I could see in Sofia’s eyes, the same smile that was on her lips.

The people who were there looked at my face and that of the triplets in amazement. Apparently, some of them knew Sofia and her mother, so they looked at us with admiration.

When I looked at Sofia, I smiled, biting my lips to stifle the satisfaction I got from seeing her there. There was also the owner of the Haras and the lawyer I had hired for this negotiation. Apparently, they were just waiting for me.

-Good morning, my loves! -I affirmed, bowing to the children, kissing and hugging each one. Then I approached Estefania, whom I kissed on the cheek and hugged tightly.

-It’s so good to see you, Estefania! -I declared, with a wide smile.

-I feel the same way! -She said, responding to my hug and kiss.

Finally, I approached Sofia, kissed her on the cheek, without hugging, as I did with Estefania for fear of her reaction. Nevertheless, I confessed to her how excited I was to see her there, together with her mother and children.

-I love it and I’m glad you’re here, Sofia, thank you for coming! -I confessed with a smile and a loving look.

-Thank you! For all the attention you have given to my triplets,” she thanked me, with a smile that totally melted me.

-I do it from my heart! I mentioned it to you before, when I met your children they conquered me, it’s like a call from the heart. I know that this love is reciprocal -I answered joyfully, happy, hugging them to my body.

In Ciudad La Rosa, the Narrator:

Mirelys that morning left the mansion for her residence. She had stayed at Rafael’s house, with the intention of not leaving Rafael alone. Until now, she has not wanted to do anything against his integrity, out of respect for her mother.

However, when she saw that he was about to get engaged to another woman, she was desperate to get help. Her mother, who was at the residence, was surprised to see her, since she thought she was at the ranch.

-What happened, daughter? Why did you come here? -She asked annoyed. “Did you give in to that woman?

-No, Mommy! Apparently we were wrong about her. In the networks they are announcing Rafael’s engagement with the arrogant Yoly del Mar,” she said irritated.

“How is it possible that this careerist is Rafael’s chosen one? -she wondered.

-Are you sure Rafael has an engagement and his mother ignores him? No, I don’t think so,” Mirelys’s mother reproached, shaking her head from one side to the other, “That son of Camila may be faking an engagement to avoid yours.

-I hope so! In any case, I need your men to do a little job for me when Yoly is here in the city,” she demanded her mother.

-What will you do? -asked her mother, clearly asking what she wanted to do.

-Teach her a lesson! So that she will stay away from Rafael. She will choose whether to do it the hard way or the easy way,” she threatened.

-We are not going to improvise Mirelys. You must think very well, what you want to do,” clarified her mother, supporting her daughter, in this plan…
