SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

On Paradise Island, the Narrator:

Shayla awoke and stretched out on the bed stumbling over a body. When she opened her eyes, she remembered what she had done the night before, thus beginning the pang of conscience. She knows she should not have done this, but it was too late.

She is looking at Jose David next to her, she knows that she does not even have as an excuse, the fact that she had too many drinks, since she drank very little. He woke up at that very moment and foreseeing that she was regretting it, she approached him and kissed him.

He pulled her to his body and without giving her a chance to move, he took hold of her lips again, awakening her desire and passion for him. Jose David began, as he had the night before, a tour of Shayla’s anatomy with his hands.

-Jose David! Jose! My love! -She laughed, trying to control her emotions. “I must go home to change because today there is an important meeting at the shipping company and I can’t miss it,” she said.

-What is the meeting for? I don’t think there is anything more satisfying for you right now than this, is there? -he questioned, with a smile that made him look more relaxed and youthful.

-I’ve never seen you smile like that! -she exclaimed, resting her face on the palm of her hand, contemplating Jose David.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-I’ve never felt so satisfied,” he said, looking at her and biting his lips. As he ran his hands up and down her legs and hips, feeling the smoothness of her totally naked skin.

Thus they began this day with fire, desire and passion. They were both insatiable. Each sought to give the other the best they had and make this delivery something unforgettable. Jose David, inwardly, prepared for his best performance and enjoyed it by the way.

She completely forgot about her engagement to Benjamin. He was waiting for him to support him logistically in the presentation of Sofia’s new project, which had been elaborated prior to her kidnapping and which should have been launched a week ago.

However, Jose David made sure that this was not the case. He did everything he could not to support Benjamin, so he spent the morning locked in his room with her. He went down to the kitchen, looked for drinks and food and it wasn’t until noon that he left with her to take her to Sofia’s mansion.

Once in front of the Morales mansion, Shayla kissed him passionately goodbye, no matter who might see her. She entered and the housekeeper informed her about the insistent calls she had received from Mrs. Estefania and Mr. Benjamin.

-Thank you, I have already communicated with each of them, now please, bring me a cold juice to my room,” she asked without any remorse.

-I’ll bring it to you, Miss Shayla,” she answered.

That same morning, in La Rosa City

The Narrator:

In the mansion, without having slept at all, Josefina Rondon, Zambrano’s widow, with a glass of whiskey in her hand, saw the first rays of dawn rise. Then, she got up, went to her room where she took a bath, got dressed and left for the importer’s offices.

At mid-morning, the importer called his lawyers, who had given him a final term of forty-eight hours to obtain the money required to comply with his commitments, and in view of the fact that he did not obtain it, he gave the order to officially file for bankruptcy.

Once the measure was executed, the scandal was unleashed through the networks. The first to call her mother to question the decision was her own daughter, Mirelys.

-Why did you do it? Why didn’t you wait until I talked to Camila? She would have helped us,” she judged her mother.

-I’m sorry! I didn’t have more time, the deadline expired days ago, the lawyers were pressuring me,” she clarified calmly.

-You don’t understand, what will my friends say? Now they will all start to take my body out, knowing that I am ruined,” Mirelys grumbled.

-Which friends? Tell me the name of just one you can ask to help you and she will,” her mother said, “Wake up, open your eyes, there are no friends. Here the only one who has always shown her friendship has been Camila, and you tried to kill her with that accident,” she reproached.

-Don’t play innocent! You were the one who came up with the idea, to attract Rafael. That’s why you provided me with the criminals and also paid for it….

-Ha! What did I pay for? Ask Popeye if I gave him anything,” she interrupted her daughter violently, “He’s desperate because they’re looking for him and I don’t have the money to get him out of the country,” she clarified.

-Do you know the risk we are running? By not paying this delinquent,” Mirelys replied, “Why don’t you sell your jewelry? You should still have the ones you have in the Bank’s vault,” she justified.

-Since we started the arrears process, I took all my jewelry out of the Bank, that’s how we’ve been supporting ourselves. I have been telling you all this year, but you have not wanted to see the reality, nor do anything,” reproached Chepa.

-No, you didn’t tell me that! -argued Mirelys.

-Yes, I told you! However, because of your obsession with Rafael, you don’t listen or see anything, you’re only focused on one man! You should have looked for another one,” her mother shouted angrily.

-Can’t something be done? To stop that,” she said, ignoring her mother’s claim about Rafael.

-Just by paying everything and you know the amount required,” Chepa affirmed, with a stern and surly voice.

-I’m going to try to get this with Camila herself,” she alluded.

-You have been after Rafael for years and you have not succeeded, do you think that in minutes you will achieve what you have not been able to do in so long? -Chepa questioned, mocking her.

-We will see about that? -was her answer and she hung up the call.

Chepa prepared to give the press conference, in which he made public the bankruptcy of the vineyards and the Zambrano Importadora. This was observed by Diana and her husband, who were watching the news on TV while they were packing their bags.

At the hacienda, the narrator:

Diana, having heard the news, immediately left the conjugal bedroom, looked for her aunt and spoke directly to her, whom she put on notice.

-Aunt, you have to be alert! Because I am sure that Mirelys will want to talk to her mother, to seek her economic support, given the situation she and her mother are going through,” she explained…
