The Narrator:
Martin Elias and Sheyli, since the day of Sofia and Rafael’s wedding, had not seen each other, the two had exchanged their phone numbers. From that day on, the two were in contact more, almost daily.
Sheyli, like Sofia with Rafael, felt attracted to him since the day of the inauguration, when she entered that room to ask where the bathrooms were. She tried to keep what she experienced, when she saw him, deep inside.
However, she began to follow it on social networks. That was how she realized that he was attracted to women of the show business, in some opportunities he was photographed with models, in others, with actresses and so on with people from the media, so she felt a little disappointed.
Later, at the celebration of the civil wedding of Rafael and Sofia, they met again, calling Martin’s attention, the huge and beautiful cleavage that Sheyli wore on her back. That day, he did not separate from her and proposed to exchange their numbers.
The next day, when Rafael and Sofia went for a walk to the waterfall, his favorite place, they decided to walk along other trails of the hacienda, so as not to disturb the couple’s escape.
Martin, knowing perfectly well his friend’s hacienda, took her to the area of the crops. Afterwards, he took her on a horseback ride around the boundaries of the ranch, where she could see how immensely extensive and large the area of Rafael’s ranch is, with a river running through it.
Sheyli, returning to reality, after that brief tour with Martin Elias and her encounters with him, began to speculate about his absence on this birthday.
“It is strange! That being Rafael’s birthday, they haven’t invited Martin Elias, his best friend” she thought, entering her room. She arrived at the mansion an hour after the rest of the family, because she had stayed talking with her sister.
“It hurts me what my sister is going through, but it is preferable for her to raise her son on her own than to have that jerk Jose David by her side. He’s not happy, he won’t make the others happy”, she reflected, lying down on her bed.
In any case, she went back to thinking about Martin Elias, who was so different from her brother, as she had not written him all day because of the hustle and bustle since they woke up, without noticing the time, she sent him a WhatsApp message.
[“Hi Martin! How was your day?” she chatted].
However, as Martin was sitting at a table sharing with some of his friends and clients, he did not notice the message she sent him until forty minutes later, when Sheyli was already about to fall asleep.
[Hi, Sheyli, what are you writing me at this hour? Did something happen? I tried to write you earlier, but thinking you were asleep, I didn’t,” he confessed].
[“And to answer your question, it’s been a very hectic day, with too many sales and a live show,” he added].
[“That’s great! I’m happy for you, I imagine this was the reason you weren’t at Rafael and the triplets’ party today,” she clarified, answering immediately]. She turned on the light of the lamp on the side of her bed.
[That’s right! I had already planned the show in advance, I never imagined it would be so successful, it gave me a lot of rewards, without knowing yet the economic and financial gains,” he explained].
[“How was everything?” he asked].
[Great! Classic of your friend, although I don’t know him very well,” she affirmed].
[To tell you, the triplets arrived totally asleep, very unusual for them, when they are out of bed,” Sheyli added, smiling].
[How nice! I’m so glad, because Rafael has told me about the traumas and bullying they have experienced for not having their daddy”, he commented].
[Yes! We hadn’t even imagined that this was happening. Even though Sofia is always aware and keeps an eye on everything about them. It seems that the children are more open and trust Rafael more,” she said].
[Rafael, he has that gift! That’s how Diana and Sasha’s twins are with him. Their uncle is their hero,” he added, proud of his friend.]
[“True! I could sense it, during the time I was at the hacienda,” she clarified].
[Would you accept an invitation, Sheyli?” he asked, surprisingly].
[For when? We leave tomorrow, for Ciudad La Rosa, in Rafael’s plane”, she answered].
[Magnificent! Then, it will be dinner, but to a very special place that I know here. Can I pick you up at seven o’clock?]
[Yes, no problem!” she answered, hearing chimes in her heart].
So they said goodbye and Martin left the table where he was with a group of friends who usually end their meetings in a hotel suite, sharing with their “girlfriends”.
His friends invited him to continue the party outside his disco, but he was excited about his date with Sheyli and preferred to stay. He retired to his office, where his assistant, upon entering, gave him a message.
-Martin, you got a call from the head of the investigation group, who needs to meet with you on Monday morning. This meeting will be in the offices of your friend Rafael Corner.
-Okay, did they tell you the time? -He asked, suspecting that was why Sheyli told him they were arriving that Sunday.
-No! When I asked her, she informed me that you should call Rafael and make arrangements with him.
-Perfect! Thank you,” he replied, saying goodbye to his assistant. He left the disco directly to his apartment. When he arrived, he showered and went to bed, but not before checking the social networks.
“What news will they have for me?”, he reflected, checking his cell phone, his social networks.
That was how he found a news that alarmed him, because according to the latest explanations of the investigator, Popeye, a criminal of international stature, had a lot to say about his origins and he had been arrested, trying to flee the country.
However, there was another piece of news that caught his attention even more.
[The heiress of the vineyards and Importadora Zambrano, Mirelys Zambrano, was missing. The yacht rented by her sank at sea, possibly due to adverse weather conditions, which were not respected].
[From reliable sources, it was learned that only one couple was on the boat, the Zambrano heiress, together with a new and unknown friend, of whom no identification is known yet. The accident occurred on Friday night].
[On the other hand, it was speculated that the couple may have died, as there was no trace of them. However, their bodies have not been found either. Authorities are working hard to extract the yacht, at the bottom of the sea].
“This you must know, Rafael. When I talk to him, I will inform him in case he hasn’t heard,” Martin analyzed, remembering that this was the woman, with whom Camila wanted to marry his friend…
