Mother and Daughter.
The Narrator:
At the Zambrano mansion
After leaving the Clinic, where Camila was confined, Mirelys went directly to her mansion. There, her mother was waiting for her, to discuss with her about the decision given to the delinquent to keep Yoly drugged.
-What’s wrong with your brain? -His mother questioned angrily, as soon as she entered the living room of the mansion.
-Why do you say that? -she asked.
-Am I going to support the vice of those delinquents? You can’t imagine the amount of money they have asked me to keep your rival drugged,” she added.
“Daughter, I don’t think you have understood yet, the serious financial crisis we are going through? We don’t have enough money for what you want, so call that crook and convince them that you changed your mind.
“We can’t afford to let them know that we don’t have the money to pay for all that,” his mother demanded, putting her hands to her head, smoothing her hair back.
-I’m not going to change my plan, I’ll sell some of my jewelry, but this is coming true,” she shouted, throwing what was on the coffee table to the floor.
-Well, you cover it! I have nowhere to get any more money. So far the only one who has sacrificed her property has been me,” she answered, she is in a fury with her daughter.
-Yes, stop complaining! You’ve enjoyed the inheritance of someone who wasn’t even my father, because even in that you cheated him,” shouted Mirelys, leaving her mother speechless, seeing how her daughter was a traitor.
– Don’t you dare repeat that again! -she shouted out of her mind, slapping her daughter hard….
-Plas!
-Get out of my presence! -Mirelys’ mother growled, gesturing for her to leave. Meanwhile, the other one cried, holding her hands to her cheek, it was the first time her mother dared to hit her.
-At this point, I doubt you’re even my mother! -Mirelys shouted again, running to the stairs to go upstairs to her room.
“Ha! You still haven’t realized, you look just like me!”, analyzed Josefina Rondon, known in her younger years as Chepa Rondon.
At the Central Hospital of Ciudad La Rosa
Once the critical hours of Jane Doe were over, and evaluated by the specialists, she returned to her normal state of consciousness. For this reason, the attending physicians surrounded her bed and tried to find out more about her.
-Miss, do you remember what happened to you? -Asked the doctor. “What is your name? -He asked again, provoking in her a state of confusion and uneasiness.
-No! I don’t remember anything! -she answered, clearly confused, holding her hands to her head, squeezing her temples in pain.
Faced with this, the doctor preferred to leave her alone and wait later to find out if she remembered anything. Apparently, what was presumed to be a typical case of amnesia, provoked by the same concussion, was occurring…
At the hacienda Los Rincones, Rafael:
-Aunt we will use the same rooms I ordered to prepare for them the first time -I announced.
-Yes, son! As you say,” answered Anastasia, walking with the house staff upstairs, leading everyone to their rooms.
When we left the children in the room that had been prepared for them, Anastasia approached her nephew and asked him very discreetly if he would place Estefania’s friend for a few hours in the room he had prepared for Sofia the previous time, while another bedroom was being prepared.
-Yes, Aunt! I’m sure I’ll find her now,” he said, very hopeful, “and we’ll give her the same room as last time.
-Great! Then I’ll take you there,” reported Anastasia. In the meantime, she ordered the staff to arrange another room.
-Yes, Aunt Thank you,” I replied with a smile, “Ah, Aunt, what happened to the twins? Why didn’t they come with you? -I questioned.
-Sasha will bring them tomorrow, because they hadn’t arrived from the walk when you came,” I nodded my head without saying anything, and then I walked to Estefania to help her.
-Thank you, Rafael! I don’t know what I would have done in this situation without you? -Estefania said, when I approached her.
-Don’t worry, this is all my responsibility! I will exhaust all necessary resources and I will find her,” I promised.
-Why do you say that? -Because of what I told you about Yoly? -she asked.
-Yes,” I affirmed, shaking my head back and forth.
-Remember that Sofia also had a problem with her, when she took her out with the security people at the shipping line, and she threw liquid soap in her eyes in the hotel bathroom,” she said.
-Even so, I feel responsible! I never stopped her possessive behavior towards me, I chose to ignore her! -I added.
That day, I devoted myself especially to taking care of the children. As it was still early, I took them along with the caporal and the caretaker of their horses to entertain them. Then, I took them to the house for lunch, where I enjoyed everything they had to say.
In the evening hours, I received the first video call, together with Benjamin from the Island and the detectives in Ciudad La Rosa. There were three of them, the Commissioner in charge of the investigation on the Island, the detective assigned in the City and the head of the International group hired by me.
-Just today, we got a warrant to search the mansion. We did; however, there was no trace of Sofia,” said the assigned detective.
-However, in the room from which the young woman was taken, we located her cell phone, on which we traced her last calls,” explained the group leader.
-Evidently, there is a phone number that was contacted in the early hours of the morning, after the celebration at the hotel. Subsequently, in the early morning there were several reports from this number to the young woman’s number,” added the Island Commissioner.
-From what can be inferred from the WhatsApp messages was that they were watching Miss Sofia’s mansion and apparently Miss Yoly got angry, because she did not accept that it was you, who had arrived at the mansion, early that day -added the Commissioner.
-Yes, it is true, I was there early, I think it was not even nine in the morning, when I arrived to spend the day with them, because one of Sofia’s triplets had fallen ill,” I explained.
-Did you have any relationship with Miss Medina? -asked the detective in charge of the case in Ciudad La Rosa.
-No, I am a friend of her brother Martin Elias,” I affirmed.
-Do you know if he is in the city? We haven’t been able to find him,” assured the detective.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
-No! I’ve been busy with Sofia and I haven’t contacted him, although he traveled with me to the Island, to do something for his father and brother, who as you know are under arrest,” I declared.
-In any case, we need him to come to the police station early tomorrow morning to make a statement, since he can help us more with the case. We will expect you at nine o’clock in the morning,” the detective assigned to the investigations told me.
-I will be there! I am the one most interested in her appearance,” I confessed….
