SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

-Good afternoon, Rafa! Aren’t you going to greet me,” Mirelys reproached me, looking at the triplets, who had their backs to her. She hugged me around the waist, sticking to my body as if she were my wife.

I did not imagine Mirelys would dare so much, let alone in front of my visitors. I had made up my mind not to let her see the children, just like my mother, but unfortunately she was already here.

So I tried to convince her to leave the place and not to have eye contact with the children. I was worried about what she might do in their presence, because she is an unscrupulous and strong-willed woman.

-Good afternoon,” I replied with hostility, “What are you doing here? -I reproached.

-I was bored in the City and that’s why I came to see you,” she confessed.

-If you wait for me on the terrace, I’ll come up in a few minutes, I’ll talk to you and my mother,” I promised, “I’m taking care of some clients. Her gaze was cold, distant.

-Children, come here! -She called out to her children in an annoyed voice, which I immediately deciphered.

-Sofia, please! Let them choose their foals, calmly,” I begged, with a pleading look. Which surprised Mirelys enormously, because I never beg or plead with anyone. I command. However, this did not influence her.

-I think they have been with the animals too long! -she answered, still with the same annoyed tone, contradicting my plea, without taking into consideration that she was my guest. She really was a woman of strong and sincere character.

Mirelys, seeing how young and beautiful Sofia was, immediately clung more to my waist. In this way, I could not get rid of her and neither could I make a fuss in front of my guests, being the first time I brought them to the ranch, besides all eyes were focused on me.

“Wretched woman! Who will strangle her to get her off my back once and for all?”, I reflected without a drop of regret.

Tia, understanding the embarrassing situation I was in because of Mirelys, came to my aid.

-Come on Sofia, Estefania, come on children! -She requested, “Let’s go so they can get to know their rooms, take a bath, change and then we’ll go downstairs to eat. We still have time for these precious ones to choose their foals and let’s go around the ranch.

-Let’s go, children! -Sofia called, this time in a sweet and loving voice.

The children ran at their mother’s call and all walked towards the big house, leaving me there in the stables with the intense Mirelys.

-Let go of me Mirelys! I didn’t demand it in front of my guests because I didn’t want to humiliate you, but if you come near me again, like that, in front of them, I won’t hesitate to do it -shaking my arms tightly and freeing me from the restraint she had given me.

-I’m not willing to give you up! Least of all to let a fortune hunter and adventurer come near you. If I have to make a scandal, I will,” she threatened.

-You have no right to judge others by your own condition! -In any case, I’m old enough to know who to let hunt me and who not to.

-Remember that your mother is on my side,” she said confidently, “All I have to do is ask her to run to your guests and she’ll do it.

-Dare! -I growled.

-No doubt about it, darling,” she threatened me, “And with children too… POOF! What a disappointment!

-Dare to ask that to my mother and we’ll see who are the ones who leave the ranch, without the right to return to it,” I threatened, tired of her arrogance, leaving her standing there.

Controlling the anger I felt, I left her talking to herself and walked quickly towards the house, behind my aunt and my guests. Reaching the edge of the stairs, I offered apologies to everyone and went to the terrace area, where my mother was standing.

-If you don’t tell your little friend to leave the hacienda right now, she’ll leave you everything right now! You’ll have to manage everything on your own. Obviously, I’ll take what’s mine,” I shouted to my mother, leaving to rejoin my aunt.

The Narrator:

Camila, amazed at the rage and anger that her son manifested, ran downstairs to find out what happened with Mirelys. She could not afford to be treated badly by her son, since she was the daughter of her best friend. When she went downstairs, she met Mirelys face to face.

-What happened, daughter? My son came in all fierce, he shouted some things at me and I didn’t even have time to respond,” she exclaimed, astonished at her son’s attitude. She was always the one who threatened him.

-Honestly, nothing, Camila. I just approached him, greeted him and hugged him as I always do by the waist and that was enough to make him furious,” she added.

-So, did you find out who those women are? -Camila asked, angry at being ignored by her son from the moment he brought guests without telling her.

-No, but from what he told me, he is a client who came to buy foals for his three children,” expressed Mirelys with doubts, remembering the look of anger and jealousy in her son’s eyes. In her eyes.

-So, no wonder he got angry! For my son it is sacred when he is in a negotiation and is interrupted,” she explained, without doubting her clarification.

“Let’s wait for his anger to pass! You don’t have to leave. The hacienda is very big and he won’t even notice that you haven’t left,” clarified Camila, indirectly asking him to hide in the hacienda itself.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

-Are you telling me he threw me out of the hacienda? No, this is the last thing I can tolerate from your son, I’m leaving! Who does he think he is, that it’s me? -she questioned, she is angry, victimizing herself.

-No, daughter, I didn’t mean it…

-At least I brought my truck and I don’t have to ask anyone to give me a ride, I’m leaving! -she said aggressively.

-No, daughter, please stay! -Camila begged, taking her by the arm and explaining that it was her son’s custom to lodge his best clients at the hacienda when he was going to negotiate with them.

-I won’t stay! I don’t consider them clients. It seems that your son likes cows with calves. -she exclaimed.

Mirelys ran up the stairs, gathered her things quickly and put them in her suitcases, to leave the hacienda before dark. However, just before starting the truck, Camila stopped her.

-Daughter, your mother is calling you! -she said, passing her cell phone to her.

-Yes, mother? Please tell me before I’m late,” she answered.

Mirelys’ mother made her see that not everything is easy in this life, that there are things for which one must fight and be persevering. If she was infatuated with Rafael, she should put up a fight and not let him be taken away so easily.

-Stay, daughter! -Her mother laughed, “Whatever he may have told you. Remember that our economic situation is getting worse and worse. We need this marriage, to get by with the money and prestige of the Rincones,” she reminded her daughter….
