At the Zambrano mansion, the Narrator:
Meanwhile, Chepa, going through the different rooms of the mansion, was making an inventory of the works of art that were still to be sold. She had sold most of them, in order to have more liquidity. And she had even put the property up for sale, which she had not communicated to her daughter.
“I must lighten the whole sale process before Mirelys returns from her trip. I’m sure, that the very… moron that one, is going to come back for more money” she thought, belittling her daughter.
“If necessary, I will lower the price of these last works, as well as that of the house, so that when my daughter returns, she won’t get in the way of what I am doing”, she reflected. She asked the staff to take the paintings down to the storage area on the first floor.
Among the few remaining staff and the housekeeper, there was murmuring and moaning because they knew what these works meant to their boss, Mr. Milko Zambrano. Every time he arrived with one of these, he celebrated with his wife, Mrs. Silvia, this acquisition.
“Ha! They can only murmur, because in the long run everything is mine, enough that I put up with that old slimy man, until I got fed up with him” she thought. This one, listened behind the kitchen door, the comments against her, with a malevolent smile:
“For the domestic staff, it was very sad and depressing to see how their boss, a good man, millionaire, widower and lonely for having lost his first born, in the same accident where his wife died, was involved and manipulated by Chepa Rondon”.
“She was the last young woman hired by his wife. She got involved little by little, she dedicated herself only and exclusively to take care of him. Until one night, when Milko was drunk and under the influence of alcohol, she got into his bed”.
“From that moment on, she took over all the roles of a wife. For this reason, before six months after the death of Mrs. Silvia, Mr. Milko married Chepa, to legitimize the daughter that she would give him”.
-From this point of view, it was justifiable that he married her,” said the housekeeper. “The only doubtful thing about this was that the child Mirelys was born seven months after that night. So, the numbers didn’t add up.
-I remember that the baby was born well, she didn’t look like a sietemesina, she wasn’t even put in an incubator,” commented the chauffeur.
-But, the gentleman did the test, the one they do, to know if it was his…” added the housekeeper.
-The DNA test,” said the driver.
-And it was positive for the man! -The housekeeper argued, “because I read it in the office, where the gentleman left it, after looking for the results.
The report clearly stated that they had the same genetic markers, which indicated that they were biologically related, with a probability of 99. 999%,” she said.
-That’s why this girl was a new illusion for him, after the accident where Mrs. Silvia died, her little son Milko Martin also died, although they never found his little body,” said the driver sadly.
-Yes! Well, this is as far as the conversation goes, lest the lady shows up and hears us talking about a subject that is taboo in this house,” said the housekeeper.
Meanwhile, at that very moment in the prison of Ciudad La Rosa.
The Narrator:
-Who guarantees me that if I confess about it, I will receive benefits to get out of here from jail? -Brutus asked, looking at the head of the commando group hired by Rafael.
-We will bring the prosecutor, so that he can explain to you about the benefit he will grant you. However, let’s be clear, you will pay some time in jail, but your sentence will be reduced,” he assured, “We commit ourselves to contact your family on the Island.
-I’ll think about it,” Brutus affirmed, although he was almost convinced to accept, since since he was locked up, everyone forgot about him, not even his family on the Island has gone to see him, either because they don’t know he is in prison or because they are not interested in him.
-The prosecutor will not wait for days or weeks. He will charge you with various crimes, which if you confess, will help you reduce your sentence,” he assured him.
-All right, bring the prosecutor tomorrow and I will talk to him,” Brutus requested.
Upon leaving the prison, the head of the commando group called Rafael, before Martin Elias, and informed him of everything they had discovered. With this, he decided to reinforce his mother’s security, as well as that of his wife and children. Sofia, was dedicated to his birthday party, as well as that of his triplets.
Also, she was informed about the life that Mirelys was giving herself with the sale she made of her mother’s bonds and jewelry. Rafael, in view of the fact that these jewels were heirlooms of his paternal family and which his father gave to his mother, did not hesitate to negotiate them.
He traded them for much less than their real price, knowing that Mirelys knew nothing about it. For that reason, he acquired them at auction price, through a third party hired by Leonel, to make this negotiation and he did the same with the bonds.
-I prefer that you clarify everything and make sure that the information you have is true, before talking to Martin,” he ordered.
-Rafael! I personally contacted the chauffeur and the housekeeper of Milko Zambrano’s mansion, following up on the documents we received from Martin Elias,” confessed the head of the group of investigators.
-Even so! This is very tricky, I prefer to be one hundred percent certain,” he said, “I don’t know how this will affect my friend.
“I am finishing some unfinished business on the Island with my wife, when I finish with this, then I will meet with you so we can talk to Martin. I wish to be with him, when he finds out about all this,” he concluded, thus the call.
Rafael:
I went down to the pool of the Morales mansion, with my triplets, who were waiting for me, so that I could continue teaching them how to swim. Once there, Estefania brought us a delicious snack, while we waited for Sofia from the shipping company to arrive.
-I don’t like it son, that Sofia went alone, we shouldn’t have indulged her! my mother-in-law commented to me.
-Calm down, Estefania! The three custodians who went with her are my best men, they answer to me with their own lives for Sofia,” I assured, concentrating on my children.
After an hour had passed, I felt the laughter of my beloved Sofia, approaching the pool, she was accompanied by Sheyli and Benjamin, in addition to the bodyguards. They were smiling, apparently they had done very well.
-Hello, my loves! -She greeted us, approaching me and our children to kiss us.
-I love you! And I missed you,” she whispered in my ear, pouting, causing me to bite her lips.
-You know? -She asked me, “Jose David wanted to send merchandise without complying with the formalities of the law and claimed it was Shayla’s. When they called her, she denied it. When they called her, she denied everything. She went out with the boards on her head,” she whispered in my ear. -she whispered in my ear.
-That’s good, my love! Although, I worry that this could have serious consequences for her,” I pointed out, remembering how delinquent they are…
