The betrayal…
On Paradise Island, the Narrator:
From that moment on, Jose David Medina was determined to conquer Shayla Nunez. Because in some way Sofia would pay him back for all the rudeness, insolence and disrespect he had committed against him. Besides, she was responsible for what her sister was suffering.
That same night, Shayla accepted his invitation to dinner, who behaved like a true gentleman with her, making her feel like a queen. When he took her back to the mansion, he got out and accompanied her to the entrance, where he stole a kiss.
She responded to the kiss, because ever since she first saw Jose David, she felt attracted to him. What attracted her attention the most was the arrogant, decisive and authoritarian personality he showed.
That night, Shayla could hardly sleep, because the man who moved the floor, despite being the enemy of her best friend, treated her like a queen. She felt she was betraying her friend.
“Jose David, he doesn’t seem like the man Sofia has always described. He is a gentleman. Suddenly, if she had given him a chance, she would be married to a special man,” she thought, blinded by his attentions that night….
At Hacienda Los Rincones, the Narrator:
When Camila, was taken off Rafael’s jet, she realized that she had arrived at the airstrip located on the grounds of Hacienda Los Rincones. Once there, she looked with disgust at her daughter Diana, because she, at no time, told him that she was bringing him to her son’s ranch.
-You tricked me like a child! -Camila complained angrily, “All to prevent someone who loves me as much as Mirelys from being with me. Don’t be so sure, you’ll get away with it,” she threatened.
-If you go against Rafael, you know he’ll send you straight to the mansion! And there you’ll be taken care of by the housekeeping staff,” Diana assured, “He already got you out of here once, don’t challenge him mom,” she replied.
-We’ll see about that! -she challenged.
-Maria! You will be in charge of taking care of mom, exclusively. So I hold you responsible for any crazy thing she might do,” Diana ordered the young maid and spoke to the nurse.
-Yes, sss-s-sister! -she hissed, her voice trembling and frightened, because due to Mirelys, she was about to be fired.
Rafael gave the order for the first floor room to be made available for his mother. It was one of the largest, with all the comforts. Diana went to check that everything was in accordance with her tastes.
-I want mine, where I have all my things,” demanded Camila, making Diana angry, seeing how capricious her mother was.
-Because of the state you are in, it is very difficult to take care of you upstairs, besides that area is occupied by my brother,” said Diana, who was desperate to see her husband and children.
-Maria, where are my children and my husband? They are not here waiting for me,” she exclaimed, a little disappointed.
-At the river, ma’am. They are all going to the river with young Rafael,” she affirmed.
-Ahhh! Okay! I’ll take the opportunity to rest then,” she said, ordering the staff to take her mother to her new room.
Once Camila was settled in the room, the nurse that Rafael had hired took charge of continuing the treatment. Because of this, she soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the river, Sasha bathed with the twins in her hands, helping them to float. Meanwhile, Rafael and Anastasia were doing the same with the triplets, who were having fun, enjoying the company of their future daddy, as their cousins, the twins, called him.
Meanwhile, Sofia, along with Sheyli and her mother Estefania, watched from the rocks on the river bank, her children playing with Rafael. She detailed that the twins, the triplets and he, had the same birthmark, in the same place, between the two teats. She, with astonishment, asked her mother….
-Why, if he loves me so much and treats me like a queen, hasn’t he married me? Besides being the father of my children,” she questioned, leaving both her mother and her friend dumbfounded.
-How do you know he is the father of your children? -Estefania asked in amazement, looking at Sheyli, who looked just like her.
-Because they are identical, besides Rafael told me when he brought me here,” added Sofia, with a contemplative look on them, especially on him.
-All those questions, you should ask him, not me, daughter,” answered her mother, approaching her with an embrace. -her mother asked with a knowing smile.
-I don’t know! I like the way he treats me and takes care of me,” she clarified, shrugging her shoulders.
-Don’t strain yourself, Rafael already talked to us and told us what the neurologist who saved you mentioned to him -added his mother.
Rafael:
She looks so beautiful, with those short pants, showing how flat her abdomen and belly are, as if she hadn’t given birth. Plus, those beautiful, shapely legs. From one to ten, I give her ten, she’s my perfect woman.
“God! If I keep looking at her, I’m going to slip up, I’d better focus on my children and my nephews” I thought, longing to be alone with her, in this beautiful waterfall, my favorite place.
We stayed in this place until midday, when I calculated that my mother had already been installed in the room downstairs in the hacienda. In this sense, we returned to the house and I gave express orders for meals to be served on the terrace.
During this first week of Sofia’s stay at the hacienda, I devoted myself body and soul to her and the triplets. My sister Diana was amazed at the resemblance between them and me. She also helped me in taking care of all my guests.
On Paradise Island, the Narrator:
During this week, Shayla was neglecting her work a bit, by eloping with Jose David and accepting his invitations. He took her on a tour of the islands that make up this country and visited every park, plaza, shopping mall and tourist site.
They became more intimate at the end of that week. Jose David invited her to dinner, then to dance and from there he took her to his mansion, which was at his total disposal because his father had stayed in Ciudad La Rosa, pending Yoly.
Shayla, in love as she was with him, let herself be seduced. He led her to his own room, and when she reached the door, he lifted her in his arms and welcomed her to it, assuring her that she was the first woman he had taken to his room, in his own house.
-I don’t believe you! -Shayla whispered, letting herself be touched, kissed and caressed by him.
-I swear! -he said, undressing her little by little, in the meantime, she did the same with him.
“You drive me crazy, Shayla,” he lied, contemplating her beautiful, curvaceous body, totally naked, comparing it to Sofia’s. She looked more voluptuous and curvaceous than Sofia. She looked more voluptuous than Sofia, who, by the way, still looked chaste, despite being a mother.
-And you to me, ever since I met you! -Shayla confessed, making Jose David bite his lips, satisfied with that answer and drew on his face, a smile of satisfaction…
