SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The Narrator:

So, they said goodbye with a promise to see each other in a few hours. Rafael offered to pick her up so she wouldn’t drive at night. Sofia, upon arriving back home, did not return to the shipyard, even though there were many things to resolve.

Among these, what happened with Reyner, her son and Ezequiel the night before, who apparently are going to spend a few days in detention by order of the Judge. She called Benjamin, who was very happy with the results of that day. He, through his lawyers, managed to get them locked up preventively, while the investigations were being carried out.

-However, the prosecutor was clear, they are going to set a very high bail, because the three are people with sufficient economic and financial resources and could well flee the country,” he said.

So they will have to sell some of their assets to cover the amount of the guarantee,” said Benjamin, satisfied.

-Likewise, I’m glad Benjamin. To see if they’ll finally learn their lesson and put aside so many ambitions and wickedness.

-Yes, daughter, I’m glad too! They thought you were alone, although I doubt they will learn anything from this experience.

-Today I’m not going to go to the shipping company, I’m coming with my children and my mother to close a negotiation and now in the evening I have an invitation, so I need to go to the beauty parlor,” she explained.

-I’m here in the office and I’ll try to go out after hours,” he assured her, who was her unconditional support, together with his assistant, Helen.

“The one who is really hysterical is Yoly Del Mar, please, Sofia, take care of yourself! -She is very spoiled, her father has been too permissive with her tastes and whims.

“Nevertheless, one can predict what her reaction will be. Therefore, pay attention to her actions in the future,” said Benjamin, uneasily.

-Thank you for your support, your advice and suggestions, I will take them into account! -she added, hanging up the call.

Meanwhile, at Reyner’s mansion, Yoly del Mar was crying about the confinement of her father and brother and complaining about what her friends would say. For her, this was more relevant than anything else, for her friends would suddenly turn their backs on her.

-Calm down, Yoly! Don’t be like that, the lawyer has already told us that they will be provisionally detained for contempt of court. Likewise, when they pay bail, they will be released,” said her brother Martin Elias.

-You don’t understand, little brother! This will be a scratch for me, because sooner or later, my friends will find out and some of them will throw this in my face,” she replied, hysterical.

-In conclusion, sister, it doesn’t hurt you that daddy is detained, but what your friends will say,” her brother exclaimed with astonishment.

“I’m amazed at the love you feel for our father and our brother! What a way to love! -he exclaimed, with an astonished and totally annoyed look, at his sister’s behavior and shrieking.

-What would you know about this? If you have never had any regular dealings, on a one-to-one basis, with the elite of our country,” she objected.

Everything about you and your friendships revolve around the only patrimony you have, that dump, as my father always says,” she said, looking over her shoulder at Martin.

-Think what you want! But it’s mine. I didn’t ask for it, and I don’t owe it to anyone,” he spat, annoying his sister.

-Ha! It makes me laugh, if you mean me,” she smiled ironically. That’s why I’m daddy’s spoiled brat and therefore, everything of his will be mine sooner or later,” she assured, walking away from her brother, leaving him alone in the main hall of the mansion.

-You’re too well placed and too sensible! -he mocked his sister with sarcasm, disappointed in her.

Then, he went up to his father’s office, opened the safe and looked for the document he suggested, finding others, which caught his attention and which he photographed. He left the mansion, gave the lawyer the papers of the property to be sold, in order to pay the bail.

Meanwhile, in Sofia’s mansion:

“Benjamin’s words hold a lot of truth, I must beware of that foolish Yoly. And now, to make myself beautiful. Let’s see what Rafael says when he sees me, ha! I’ll give him a surprise”.

I went through my dresser, I looked for the suit I ordered a few weeks ago from the most famous designer in Ciudad La Rosa. Dedicated to my grooming, I completely forgot about the supposed engagement between Rafael and Yoly, which had become a trend in the networks.

That same night, Rafael:

I arrived at the hotel, with Sofia on my arm. As she passed by, she left those who were looking at her, spellbound and stunned by so much beauty. She looked beautiful, wrapped in a long, champagne-colored dress, tight to her body, with a V-neckline, which made her admirable.

The dress stood out for its thin straps, leaving her shoulders uncovered. In this one, it highlighted the neckline that perfectly outlined her prominent breasts, her wasp waist, very thin and a slit from the thigh to the left foot, which excited me as soon as I saw it.

It was really a pride, carrying Sofia on my arm. She is a real beauty queen. Her blonde hair, dyed, she wore it up in a bun, with some loose strands, on the sides of her face, which showed her features perfectly.

I was at her height, wearing a black tuxedo that highlighted the width of my back and shoulders. Being a very important client of the hotel, I received special treatment and so did Sofia, so we were led to a table in the VIP area, next to the dance floor and the stage.

-You look very beautiful! -I murmured without taking my eyes off her and pulled the chair so she could sit down. I loved her beauty and grace.

-Thank you, you look great too! -she affirmed, with a smile, being kind, something she has shown me very little so far.

As soon as we sat down, a waiter served us, uncorking a bottle of champagne. Already the celebratory show had begun. I sat down right next to her, to fully appreciate the whole show.

-Is it all right if I sit next to you? -I asked with a smile.

-None,” she replied, smiling.

-Then! Let’s toast to this, our first date. May it be perfect! -I declared.

-May it be so! -I will only consume this glass of liquor, to please you, because I don’t drink liquor.

-Thank you! -he added.

Unconsciously, I put my arm over the chair where Sofia was sitting, while we were watching the show. However, I had to control on several occasions the temptation to touch her back, her shoulder, they looked so sensual, her skin like silk. Faced with this fascination, I opted to ask her to dance.

In addition, the Caribbean music was too good. Among so many surprises from her, this one stood out, her extraordinary dancing skills. She moves her body rhythmically to the music.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Both of us were so into the dance, we enjoyed this contact to the fullest. It was great! Although until now, we had not been able to maintain a normal, calm dialogue between the two of us, we were able to do so by dancing. We were interrupted by Yoly’s bold words…

-You didn’t tell me you were coming to the island, let alone to the hotel’s celebration party,” Yoly Del Mar said, annoyed and irritated, with a withering look at Sofia and standing to one side of us, taking away space for us to move.

Stopping the dance with Sofia, with a sarcastic look, crossing my arms in front of my chest, I asked….

-Excuse me, Yoly! But since when do I have to give you explanations for my actions? -I questioned, looking with aversion, to this…
