SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

-Why didn’t you inquire when you first saw Sofia, after this? -Why didn’t you notice the physical resemblance between you and the triplets? -She cornered me, angrily.

-At the beginning, the resemblance between the children and me caught my attention, as well as the name of your daughter, but because of some words from Sofia, I discarded that it was her, that young girl,” I confessed.

-What words? -she asked me.

“Sofia mentioned on the day of the inauguration of the branch “that she had never been a regular visitor of discotheques”. From there, I definitely rejected that it could be her, because according to her words, she was not a visitor of the same -I commented.

-That day Sofia went to the disco because Shayla and I convinced her. She was angry because her parents had not attended her graduation ceremony,” Sheyli replied.

-That’s right, her father and I couldn’t attend! Because of an official Naviera event,” Estefania corroborated.

-On the other hand, this Sofia was different from the other one. She is fuller and rounder in some parts of her body -which I described with some gestures of my hands- The other Sofia was like a teenager, thin, pure, delicate. This is a woman of mettle, determined, she knows what she wants,” I assured her.

-It seems incredible to me, Rafael! This is happening. You have been protective and kind to my grandchildren ever since you met them. It’s as if you knew they were your children,” Estefania said incredulously, hesitantly, but definitely honest with me.

-I swear Estefania, I didn’t know anything! I thought, it was just a coincidence, that they looked like me,” I replied trying to clarify this. Because if she, who has always supported me, doubts! What’s left for when Sofia returns.

“Seeing today the birthmark, inherited from my father, my grandfather and great-grandfather in your grandchildren, erased any doubt or blurred memory -I assured and turning around I asked Sheyli?

That night Sofia was wearing a short, tight-fitting dress and her hair was blonde, long and ironed! Right? -I demanded an answer, to confirm that it was her.

-Yes,” she assured me.

-And the car she was driving was a black Bugatti Veyron? -I asked again.

-That was the car that Juan Carlos, her father, bought her and gave her as a present in December of the previous year, when she turned twenty,” Estefania answered.

-This proves, without a doubt, that the triplets are mine. Therefore, heirs of the Corner family and therefore, with rights to everything that is mine -I referred to Estefania, who didn’t answer me anything.

-Let’s get rid of doubts, with a DNA test! -Estefania exclaimed, holding both hands to her head.

-Calm down, Estefania! -I didn’t need a DNA test, I felt the call of blood with them the first time I saw them, besides the physical resemblance and my birthmark.

“I know this, this is hard for you. For me, it has not been so difficult, because maybe my heart already knew it internally, from that day of the inauguration, when I saw them for the first time.

“However, I will not do anything until Sofia appears, I want to do everything with her consent. The only thing I will clarify is that they must bear my last name, they are authentic Rincon,” I said.

In the Central Hospital, of La Rosa City.

The Narrator:

While Dr. Soto was at the hospital, a colleague of his called him to come to the emergency room. Another case had just arrived, of a young woman who had been savagely assaulted and was unconscious.

They took advantage of the neurology specialist’s presence to help them with this diagnosis. It was about a young heiress who was kidnapped from her home and due to the strong military and police operation, she was found near the port.

Dr. Soto, practiced the respective tests and came to a conclusion, before even some results were obtained. For him, the patient was in a coma, possibly caused by an overdose of an illicit drug or by a brain injury caused by a violent blow to the head.

The commissioner, the detective and the head of the group hired by Rafael crossed their gaze at this diagnosis. They had quietly entered the room to try to obtain from her some information that would lead them to Sofia.

They came out more worried because they were back to zero, in terms of the investigations carried out on Sofia’s disappearance. However, they had a group on the trail of the offender with whom she exchanged messages via WhatsApp.

Before they left the hospital, they saw Yoly’s father and brother arrive with great urgency, who apparently paid the bail. This was set at a high amount, to prevent them from fleeing the country and here they were, in another country violating the prohibition dictated by the judge of the case.

-That is not our problem,” declared the leader of the group.

-But it is mine, because they are violating the laws of my country,” said the Commissioner, sent by the Island, who immediately made a call to denounce the case.

He obtained as an answer that in view of the situation presented with his daughter, he was granted permission by the judge to travel. Well, having done the diligence of reporting these, he continued with the other two, to continue the search for Sofia.

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms of the same hospital, Dr. Soto met with the staff who was in charge of the young amnesiac, who already had a better appreciation of the features of his face, the swelling was disappearing.

The doctor felt very committed to her for the fact that he had found her. In view of the state of amnesia she presented, he thought of proposing her to live in his house, while he investigated who are her relatives? And why was she abandoned?

-William, why were you called to the emergency room? -asked his colleague.

-Because of a young woman, who was also assaulted, they found her unconscious on the side of the port. She is under the effects of some drug and this induced her coma. A CT scan and lab tests are required to prove this,” he confirmed.

-I am amazed, as crime is rampant, that young woman was kidnapped from her home with surveillance and everything,” assured the other doctor, reading the news review on the networks.

-Don’t you see that we are in the same situation with this young woman? -We don’t know if she was kidnapped or held for ransom. I took her almost dead to the rural center,” he added, “It could be the same thing, white slavery has been unleashed.

-You are right! -commented the other doctor, astonished and worried.

-I need to be sure that her family hasn’t had something to do with this, that they didn’t want her to disappear for something,” added Dr. Soto.

-What are we going to do with her? In two days, three at the most, she should be discharged,” assured the doctor.

-I am thinking about it, I could take her to the farm as a companion for my mother. In any case, there is the service staff, the driver and the nurse who can keep an eye on them,” he clarified.

-I think it’s a good idea, so they can keep each other company,” said the doctor.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

-I think it would be better for now! In the meantime, I’ll investigate the other thing…” concluded Dr. Soto.
