SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

In the discotheque, the Narrator:

Martin Elias, upon entering his disco again, remembered exactly that this was the young woman whom his friend Rafael Corner saved from being raped that night in March. He, following his friend’s requests, lied by pointing out that they erased the recordings of each night. Nevertheless, he took his cell phone and called his friend.

-Rafael, is that you? -he asked as soon as he felt his call answered.

-Yes, Martin Elias, it’s me! -He answered, admiring the fact that his friend was calling him, since it was usually him who called his friend. -he asked, wanting to know.

-The girl you rescued and saved from being raped was here,” his friend confessed.

-What did she say? -he asked uneasily, going into his bathroom to wash up. He had just arrived from riding and touring the ranch on his spirited Tornado.

-He just asked me if I could show him the videos from that Saturday, reminding me that he was the person who woke up in one of the private rooms,” said his friend.

-Did you show him the videos? -asked Rafael, worried.

-No! How do you think? -I explained to him that every day we erase the recordings of each night, that we only keep them when there is a problem.

-Did he believe you? -He questioned again, running one of his hands across his forehead, letting it run back to smooth his hair, standing in front of the mirror.

-Yes, she immediately got up from her chair,” added Martin Elias, “I walked her to her car. Hey, you know what? She is the owner of the black Bugatti Veyron that was in the parking lot that night.

-Ah, geez! That means, she’s a mama’s and papa’s little girl. I’m sure she’s used to doing whatever she wants,” he said.

Suddenly, that’s why the bastard who tried to rape her was dragging her to subdue and subdue her,” he said.

In any case, he felt better. From that moment on, he felt a strong sense of guilt. Because he made her his own, knowing that she was not in her five senses, just as he was. Hence, he had many mental gaps, regarding her.

-Most certainly! -I’ll tell you that if you thought she was beautiful that night, when you were totally drunk, when you see her in the light of day, you will die enchanted by her beauty.

-If you only knew! The images that come to me of her, are somewhat blurred. However, I am sure that in my clear and lucid moments, I saw her as a goddess,” he assured with a smile and relaxed.

“What else did you see of her? -Did you ask her name, did you take her cell phone number?

-No, I don’t want to show any interest in her, in case she pretends to make any claim, I don’t know, of any kind,” Martin Elias speculated.

-You are right! -said Rafael, saying goodbye to his friend and going into the shower.

Sofia:

In my car, again I tried to force my memory to see the face of the one who made me his. Likewise, I searched my memories for the development of everything that happened. Unfortunately, there was nothing and I am still the same, not knowing who is the father of my triplets….

Arriving at the apartment, I opened the door and when I entered I heard some voices in the main living room area of the apartment, very familiar. When I walked in, I was strongly impressed to see my parents sitting there talking to my friends.

As soon as he saw me, my father got up from the couch and stared at me. He seemed to guess what was happening to me, because despite giving me a kiss and reproaching me for not answering his calls, he continued to stare at me.

Mom also approached me, kissed me and, taking me by the hands, sat me next to her on the sofa.

-Daughter, forgive me! -I know we failed you on the most important day for you, your graduation ceremony! -she paused.

“We could not leave the reception of the ships, in the hands of others. It was totally our responsibility and we had to assume it,” my mother assured me, squeezing my hand tightly and wiping away my own tears with the other.

Dad got up from the sofa and walked to the window, which at that moment kept the curtain drawn back to let in the natural daylight. He remained silent, thoughtful, he seemed to be analyzing something.

Mom continued with her explanations and justifications as to why she was absent on such an important day for me. Unfortunately, for me, forming the largest fleet in the world, in international shipping, was more valuable than me.

-Quiet, mother! I have already forgotten that,” I answered calmly. “Rest assured, from now on I will not bother you to attend any event that concerns me,” I assured, looking her straight in the eyes.

-You are too capricious, Sofia! Suddenly, I am the biggest culprit for your obstinacy and rebelliousness, but we are not here to beg you to forgive us,” my father said, raising his voice and with an icy look.

-Oh yes, then why are you here? -I asked arrogantly and getting up from the sofa, approaching him and challenging him.

-Do you think you can do it alone? -He questioned, “With a simple phone call I’ll cancel all your cards and with that all the benefits you enjoy, just because you are my daughter,” he threatened.

-And you think I care about that? You can keep everything, I don’t need anything from you, I can fend for myself and I’m going to prove it to you,” she said.

-Juan Carlos, what happened? We have come to make amends with the girl -claimed my mother, approaching him, to calm him down.

-Do you realize, my love? -Sofia is treating us as if we had committed a crime with her,” he argued, not wanting to give in to my mother’s plea, as always.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

-But that’s not the way you should treat our only daughter,” Mom clarified, running her hands over Dad’s chest.

He took a deep breath. Then he asked for a glass of water, for which I went to the kitchen, where Shayla and Sheyli were, listening to everything, totally freaked out. I guess they were thinking about where we will go if my father takes my apartment and the cards.

-Don’t worry, a barking dog won’t bite! -I declared with a smile and feeling better than when I woke up. I fetched a glass, moved it closer to the water dispenser and poured to take to my father.

When I walked in, I found them talking more calmly and even my father “let his guard down,” at least momentarily. Then he himself began to ask me why I looked so faded and haggard.

-It must be because I had a very bad night! I had cramps and a very upset stomach,” I said, honestly, “I haven’t been able to sleep through the night since I became pregnant.

-Have you been to the doctor? -he asked, showing interest.

-Yes! Shayla and Sheyli took me,” I answered, not wanting to explain.

-What did the doctor say? -asked my mother, worried.

-I lied to avoid a scandal, because I can imagine how Dad will be when he finds out I’m pregnant and with triplets.

“Excellent title I’m going to give him for graduation to hang on the wall of the main room of the mansion: the pictures of my triplets” Ha! I laughed sarcastically, in my mind.

-When are you coming back to Paradise Island? -I remember, you asked me to let you come here to study, because when you graduate, you will practice your profession there.

-Yes, but I have some proposals and I am analyzing them, because it is also convenient for me to gain experience and where better? If not here. The island is a town -I lied again, using this as an excuse, so that he would not continue to insist on me.

-I’ll triple the salary they can offer you here! It’s time for you to join the shipping company, it’s about time you started to learn how to manage it, in the long run it’s your patrimony,” my father said.

-I will think about it! -I said, picking up my cell phone to ask for food to be brought to the apartment. However, my father did not accept, because he insisted on taking the three of us to a luxurious restaurant to celebrate our graduation…
