SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Sofia:

Upon arrival at the airport, we were driven by my driver to Rafael’s mansion, which had nothing to envy to a royal castle. It was a huge and beautiful house. As we approached the building, I could see him standing at the entrance.

“My God! This man makes anyone’s panties drop,” I thought, shaking my head a little and with it my long blond hair, which I wore tied up in a ponytail, moving from one side to the other, giving me a more youthful air.

-Welcome! he exclaimed, with a smile and extending his powerful arms, which could be seen above his short-sleeved collarless shirt. He was wearing pants that showed off his thick legs, with high boots.

-Hi Rafael, how are you?” I approached to greet him, with a smile and extending my hand.

-Hi there!” my children shouted in chorus, happy to see him, so they ran towards him, “It’s you again! -they exclaimed, happy to see him again.

-Welcome, everyone! -He exclaimed, excitedly, “I’m excellent, Sofia! And happy to see you again! -He said, greeting my children one by one, until he reached my mother, to whom he bowed like a gentleman, as on the day of the inauguration.

-May I call you, uncle? -asked Rafael Angel, leaving me with my mouth open and with an embarrassment that I could not hide, when I looked at Rafael face to face.

-For me, it is an honor to be called that way,” was his immediate response, approaching my son and lifting him up in his arms to kiss his cheek.

-Uncle Rafael! -I can’t just call you Rafael because we are not the same size,” he explained innocently and we all smiled at his witticism.

My other two children, imitating their older brother, approached him, each one leaning on Rafael’s legs, who smiled and looked very happy, trying to hold all three of them in his arms.

-Children, don’t bother Mr. Corner! It seems to me that you are abusing his patience,” exclaimed my mother.

-Not at all, Mrs. Estefania! You can’t imagine how happy I am that they hold me in esteem, and I assure you it’s reciprocal! -He added, with a wide smile and hugging the three of them, taking a selfie from his iPhone.

-Mom, why didn’t you tell us we were going to see our friend and… namesake Rafael? -asked my youngest son.

-Because it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore! -I clarified to cut the awkward moment short, although he didn’t seem to mind in the least. He looked very comfortable with my children around him.

-Shall we get going? -he asked. Apparently, literally speaking, he was waiting for us to leave.

-Yes, whenever you say,” I replied.

-Then how about if your driver and escort go over to my Cherokee and I become, from this moment on, your driver and bodyguard? -he asked.

-No problem for me, you’re driving! You are giving up your comfort for us,” I warned him, without any concern.

-I’m at your service! was his reply and he immediately opened the doors of my seven-seater Range Rover, asking me, almost in my ear, to be his co-driver.

“My God, what’s wrong with me, why is he reacting? My skin crawled all over me. This approach of his, shook my body.”

“Thank God! I wore this plaid button-down shirt with long sleeves and didn’t roll up my sleeves. I would have passed the grief, that I would have seen my skin go red.”

“What is happening to me with this man? I’ve only seen him twice in my life and I feel excited, just feeling his breath and his voice in my ear”.

Once everyone was in their seats, he opened the front passenger door for her to get in and after closing it, he turned around to get in and take the wheel….

At the Hacienda, the Narrator:

Previously, Anastasia had carried out the work of cleaning and fitting out the best guest rooms. These are located in the central wing of the upper building of the ranch, which is why they attracted the attention of some of the inhabitants of the big house.

She, following Rafael’s instructions, did not allow any of the residents of the house to observe the repairs and improvements made. In any case, Mirelys communicated with the young lady of the service so that she would be aware of his arrival and of the people who would come with him.

-Yes, Miss, as you wish! What’s more, I’ll be ready to be the one to attend to them,” she said, ignoring that Anastasia already had her trusted staff ready for this job.

That morning, Anastasia having risen early to supervise that everything was ready, left her sister astonished.

-Who are Rafael’s guests? They have you getting up early, something you don’t like,” asked Camila intrigued and ready to go out riding, before the sun got any hotter.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

-No idea! But, if I knew I wouldn’t tell you either, sis,” she replied sarcastically. Climbing the stairs to give a final check of the main rooms as well as the staff rooms they brought.

-My son’s guests will be welcome, if I want, remember that I am as much his mistress as he is,” added Camila haughtily, who was waiting for Mirelys to go riding.

Anastasia took advantage of their departure to bring flowers to the room that Sofia would occupy, as her nephew called her. She chose the most beautiful ones from the garden: red and pink roses. Meanwhile, in her mother’s room, she placed white roses.

In the children’s room, as she did not know their ages, she placed containers decorated with nutritious treats, which she ordered from a special store. She also placed games in lines, checked that everything was in perfect condition, closed and went downstairs to wait for her nephew and guests.

In Ciudad La Rosa, Sofia:

In the van, sitting next to this stormy male specimen, I felt his closeness awaken my senses; with his fresh amber wood scent, he intoxicated me. This worries me, because it is a few hours, which I will spend in his company.

I wished to have a pleasant conversation with him, but my children did not allow it. From their seats, in the stalls behind us, the three of them were talking to him, asking him endless questions. Through the rearview mirror I watched my mother smiling all the time, listening to the conversation between them.

Rafael explained to them where we were going, the reason for this invitation and especially what a ranch was and what he produced on it. At the most striking spots and places, he stopped for them to observe them closely and photographed them, promising them that he would pass all these photos on to them.

Apparently, Rafael was very familiar with children, because it was amazing to see how he dedicated himself to answering my triplets’ every question. Honestly, my mother and I were in awe as we were never given a chance to talk to him.

When we arrived at the hacienda, it was another property as huge and beautiful as the mansion where he waited for us. My children went crazy, especially when they spotted the horses. These were their favorite animals.

-WOW!

-GOD!

-WOW!

They screamed with excitement and jumped inside the truck, crazy to get off. At this reaction, Rafael laughed spontaneously, very relaxed, enraptured, watching the three of them. Meanwhile, I stared at him.

“My God! It’s so beautiful, how beautiful! To see this man laugh, it’s like being in paradise… “
