Faith.
At the Hacienda, the Narrator:
Still in the office of the hacienda, totally clarifying this situation, Rafael, requested Estefania and Sheyli, not to comment anything about this to the triplets, because he longed to give this news to his children with Sofia.
They both agreed, clarifying that this was something that was only Sofia’s responsibility, as their mother. She will have to explain everything to her children. In this way, it will not produce in them any trauma or consequence that could affect them in the future.
They left for the pool, but not before hugging Rafael, as a sign of acceptance of his bond with Sofia’s children. He took advantage of this moment to clarify his feelings towards her and what they had decided on the day of their abduction.
Sheyli, still amazed by this coincidence, evaluated Rafael. He was an extraordinary man, very gentlemanly, as they say, a good catch, billionaire, producer, professional, handsome, super-attractive, in short, the ideal dream of any woman.
She, walking behind him, remembered how she visualized him in a bathing suit. And those perfect little squares on his abdomen that would drive anyone crazy. Smiling inwardly, she thought of the pleasure her friend will have when she lives with him.
For her part, Anastasia watched the three of them arrive with a smile and her nephew run up to the triplets, challenging his brother-in-law to a game in the water. It was definitely a morning full of surprises, shouts, laughter and joy.
Rafael, was in the water playing with his triplets, when the housekeeping staff informed him that he had an urgent call from a Commissioner. In view of this, he hurried out and with him Estefania, who ran towards the interior of the hacienda.
Rafael:
-Hello Comisario? -I asked anxiously, observing Estefania’s anxious and anguished face. Now I am more urgent than before, to find my Sofia.
-We have the man, but as he wanted to escape, he shot at the police commission. They repelled the attack and he is seriously wounded,” explained the Commissioner of Paradise Island.
-It can’t be! The longer it takes to find her, the more danger she is in,” I said, fixing my gaze on Estefania.
-We know! -He answered, “We need you to move your influence here, to enter where he is being held for interrogation. Because he is still alive, but according to the medical diagnosis he will not survive.
-I’ll call you back,” I said.
Immediately, I spoke with the highest authority of investigations as with the respective Minister and they authorized to enter the room where the offender was and despite the doctor’s demands, they interrogated him.
The Narrator:
It was thus that this one informed them, that he threw together with his crony, her corpse inside a black bag in a secluded place of the City. In addition, he provided the name of the person who accompanied him in this.
As a result of this, there was a police deployment and searched the area inch by inch, not finding any evidence of the statements given by the offender before his death.
In spite of the arduous operation, Dr. Soto did not notice this. He was attending to very particular cases in the hospital where he had admitted the young amnesiac. Rafael was beginning to despair at the lack of an answer.
Three days later, Rafael:
Getting ready to go to the City, because I am not willing to continue waiting for news about Sofia. I invited Estefania to my office at the hacienda to inform her of what I will do in the next few hours.
-What is it, Rafael? -she asked, quite worried.
It has been a week since my daughter’s disappearance and we don’t know anything,” commented Estefania, desperate because they were still at his hacienda, waiting for her daughter’s appearance.
-Estefania, I have been waiting for three days for information from the whole team and none of them answer my calls, they only send me messages, asking me for patience,” he clarified, “You can’t imagine how many times I have asked God for a miracle.
-Me too! I know that God will not forsake her because she is a faithful believer in Him. I am just like you, waiting for that miracle, for Him nothing is impossible,” she added with faith.
-The day we were at the pool they told me that they found one of the men who kidnapped her, as I told you. Supposedly, before he died, he confessed. However, I don’t know what he told them and what happened afterwards,” I confirmed.
-My assistant, late last night, informed me that Yoly, whom her father intends to take away, is being kept under heavy police custody at the Central Hospital. She appeared on the sides of the port unconscious, savagely beaten and who is apparently in a coma.
-He also told me that the group of investigators I hired is working outside the legal canons. They are raiding, beating and torturing those who have been involved in all this. So they are outside of any cover, outside of the law.
-My God, Rafael, can’t this bring you complications later on? -she asked me.
-I am willing to assume it, for now, I am only focused on finding Sofia, whatever the cost,” I confessed.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“In any case, they sent me a message through my assistant, they need to talk to me, today at twelve noon, in a place that they will let me know once I am in the City,” I said.
“This is why I am going to the City, to find out exactly what is going on. There have been countless calls, my assistant told me, apparently all false, people who thought they had seen Sophia, but it is not so,” I assured.
-Are you alone? -She asked me, worried about me.
-Yes, please don’t move from the hacienda to anywhere. Reyner and Jose David are in town because of Yoly. And as for Benjamin, he got a court injunction to keep them out of the shipping company until this is solved,” I assured her.
-My God! You didn’t tell me anything,” she said.
-Why give more mortifications? With the sorrows we have, it’s more than enough. I need you strong, with my children, please,” he begged.
-Yes. Count on it! We’ll wait for you here, especially if you arrive with my daughter,” she begged, hugging me.
-God willing! I promise to build a chapel on the grounds of the hacienda, in payment for this favor,” I answered, hugging her.
-What time are you leaving?
-I’m leaving now! I’m leaving in my private jet, it’s only twenty minutes,” I affirmed, saying goodbye to her and walking to the dining room, where everyone was having breakfast.
I said goodbye to my triplets and the others, leaving quickly towards the City where my assistant will pick me up….
A few minutes later, at Central Hospital
The Narrator:
-I am her father and I am the one who decides which doctor should see my daughter, I do not trust your diagnosis and less of that chimbo doctor that you brought – Reyner exclaimed, angry because they did not let him see his daughter in the room where they had her.
-The doctor who examined your daughter is an eminent neurologist in our country. Without having done the CT scan, he diagnosed the same as the result of the CT scan. You should hire him to treat her and get her up and about,” said the doctor.
-Yes, of course,” he said, “I can imagine.
-Dad, calm down! Remember that we are out on bail and for any excuse they can lock you up again,” whispered his son, Jose David, in his ear.
-You don’t seem to care about what happens to your sister! Are you satisfied with what they have said? -He said, without analyzing that his daughter was involved in a crime and that is why she is under police surveillance at the health center.
-Dad, remember that Yoly is being held here by the police for the kidnapping of Sofia, who still hasn’t shown up,” his son commented very softly.
-And I hope she never shows up! -He exclaimed, “it will minimize our problems a lot.
Just at that moment, Rafael, accompanied by his assistant Leonel and his bodyguards, arrived at the floor where Yoly del Mar was hospitalized. When Reyner saw him, he jumped on him to hit him for being the cause of this tragedy.
However, with Rafael’s agility and karate training, he managed to dominate him quickly. He was willing and ready to hit anyone, in spite of his guards. Seeing his attitude, Jose David backed down from his initial intention to hit him as well.
-You bastard, this is all your fault! I wouldn’t be surprised if you were behind what happened to my daughter,” Reyner asserted angrily and regretfully, getting up from the floor, “After you played with her, you pushed her aside, like a common toy.
-I don’t know what stupidity you’re talking about! Because I’ve never had anything with your daughter -he asserted, angrily…
