SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The Narrator:

Reyner and his son Jose David, upon arriving at their residence in Ciudad La Rosa, had a common topic of conversation: the behavior of Martin Elias’ conquistador and playboy friend, Rafael Corner. He was apparently dazzled by Sofia’s beauty and did not hide it at all.

-Did you notice how she once clung to his arm? -She’s an offerer, that’s why what happened to her happened to her,” he judged, making a dismissive and disdainful gesture.

You should get your act together, because at the rate you’re going, that little cattleman will take away what you’ve danced, if you’ve danced at all with Sofia,” reproached his father.

-Nobody’s taking Sofia away from me! She’ll be mine by hook or by crook, you know she used to hold me back because of her father, but now she has no one to protect her. So don’t worry, that cock won’t crow in my barnyard,” he assured.

-You’ve been telling me that for a long time and I don’t see anything. I don’t see you making any progress with her. That woman ignores you and despises you,” his father said.

-I’m not going to listen to your advice anymore! -Jose David objected, “Precisely because I listened to your recommendations, when the meeting was held in which she was elected CEO for the first time, I lost everything I had advanced and gained with her,” he replied disappointed.

-What progress had you made? -His father questioned sarcastically, “If you didn’t even get a minute of her attention,” he said.

-Because so far I’ve always listened to your recommendations, that’s why I’ve failed. However, if someone drugged her and impregnated her with triplets, I can make quintuplets for her,” he added with a biting smile.

-If that Rafael doesn’t eat your errand, how can he eat another one? -said his father, climbing the stairs to go to his room.

Meanwhile, Yoly Del Mar, his sister who was sitting near where they were arguing, approached him, to negotiate with him, the opportunity to conquer Rafael Corner, to become his wife and as such, owner of 50% of his assets.

-Do what you have to do! Accept her, kidnap her, show her how someone else has already done it and make her have your child. In this way, you guarantee yourself the chance to be her heir,” she demanded, sternly and haughtily.

-That’s what I’m up to, sis! But, because I was listening to daddy’s advice, I made a huge mistake,” he said, “Although, I’m already stubborn and tired of begging her so much and being such a gentleman with her. Sofia loves to be treated badly,” he declared.

-I don’t know what you see in her? -she reproached her brother. To retaliate, he replied….

-The same thing you see in that Rafael guy,” he affirmed with a grimace.

-Let’s be clear, little brother! -She exclaimed, laughing. “Decent, let’s say decent, he’s not! He doesn’t have any class either. What helps him is the money he’s got, and lots of it!

-How right are you? -He questioned, with a smile, “However, I feel a tasty itch to imagine her in bed with me,” he said, laughing again.

“I need to calm this down!!!! I’ve been having this dream for years, it’s already become a nightmare and I’m crazy to make it come true,” he admitted.

-“Well, don’t be so eager to do it! -His sister proposed, “Don’t listen to our Father and try to satisfy yourself, your desires, dreams and interests, without being accountable to anyone.

“You can get married and take possession of the cow and her calves, they say that he who buys a pregnant cow, owns the calves! -she concluded with a loud laugh.

-Ha ha ha ha! -he guffawed with a malevolent smile, rejoicing in his plans to seize Sofia’s fortune.

-As for those brats, send them to a school abroad, so that they don’t bother your life,” his sister planned, reflecting the same sentiments as he did.

“In the meantime, I’ll take care of seducing Rafael, because I’m not going to let a newcomer take away what I’ve been working on for a long time,” his sister agreed.

“Do you accept the deal, little brother? I’ll dedicate myself to conquering and seducing Rafael and you to Sofia. That way, we can enjoy their respective inheritances together,” she added, clashing her fists with her brother’s. “That’s perfect, sis.

-I think it’s perfect, sis! Ha ha ha ha! And I swore you had nothing on the brain,” he apologized, smiling and looking at her in amazement.

-The first thing we must do is to prevent them from meeting again,” his sister planned, “if you find out that they’re going to meet again, do whatever you can to prevent it from happening, and if it’s in my hands, I won’t allow it either,” she said.

-Well, I think it’s perfect and I agree with you! -He admitted, “Sofia leaves early tomorrow morning for the Island, because she has certain events that she has to attend as CEO. I’m going to go with her! -he grunted, thoughtful and determined.

“Since I know the time of the flight, I’ll be there to leave, whether she likes it or not,” he threatened, “I’ll start using the networks, making people think that I have something with her. I’ve already hired a hacker to help me with that,” he added, unconcerned.

-For my part, I’ll do the same. Today I hired someone to publish on the networks a supposed romance between Rafael and I. Look! -she said, showing her cell phone.

He took her phone and noticed that on her sister’s social networks, there was the news about the inauguration of the shipping company’s branch. He also noted the presence of one of the richest men and cattle ranchers in the region, the tycoon Rafael Corner.

He also saw the news that his sister had paid for, a photo in which Rafael appeared with her, as if they were embracing. He smiled placidly, when he imagined Sofia reading the news, because he perceived how she liked it.

-However, I am going to need financial help from you,” his sister asked.

“He is asking me for a lot of money to keep the news trending. He showed me some photos he took today, with which he will keep me present in the networks, but he wants a large sum of money,” she said.

-That’s not a problem for me,” answered her brother. Because that money will come out of Sofia’s own pocket, but, you know, it will be between you and me! I don’t want our father to know about this, unless it’s strictly necessary,” he ordered.

-I totally agree with you, so let’s not give time or chance for those two to get together. Today I took out an invitation to Rafael to his Hacienda. Therefore, from tomorrow I will start my plan. I will call him to remind him of the invitation.

-Great! I don’t want them to meet again, because if Rafael was ecstatic and enraptured with her, this one was almost the same, we must move fast, sis,” he begged.

“Good! I’m going up to my room, because I need to get up very early, her plane leaves at seven in the morning,” he confirmed.

-What about the money? -She asked hurriedly.

-I’ll transfer it to your account and some more, just in case you need it,” he answered.

-Okay, we’ll make it! These two trophies won’t get out of our hands because of someone else’s will,” she exclaimed, both of them laughing.

Then they each went up to their rooms without noticing that their father had heard them. He smiled proudly at what his children were capable of, to improve their status and economic position, leaving aside the romantic cheesiness.

He went upstairs behind them, thinking that he would not have to worry about the future, since each one was resolving according to their desires and needs. The only thing he was worried about was Martin Elias, who didn’t want to leave that joint he had for business…
