On the other hand, Flavia arrived at the hacienda. Saul was in love with everything; he had been out of the hospital for only six months. He had been in recovery during that time and was just now getting to know the world. The animals captivated him, and Flavia looked at him happily. She had had some problems with her new pregnancy, but even so, she was happy to have what she had. Although she had suffered a lot, she now felt good about what was happening in her life.
"Flavia, your position as administrator is already guaranteed. I will pay you a salary. You will live with me in the big house. Saul will go to the town's school; it's small, but it has very good teachers. You'll see that we'll be fine. The hospital is also good for you to have the child, although you still haven't told me what's happening. I just want you to know that I support you," Aleida said as Flavia nodded and smiled. She still didn't dare say anything; she would, but she couldn't yet.
"Mommy, look, lots of cute animals," Saul shouted excitedly, making both of them laugh.
When Flavia got out of the car, the workers who were receiving them were speechless. Flavia is very beautiful, and she was the right hand of the great boss.
Flavia's beauty had caught everyone's attention, and it wasn't long before the word spread that the new administrator of the hacienda was a beauty and that she had a very handsome child. But later, when her belly began to show, the gossip started, which Aleida calmed down. The story was that Flavia lost her husband while pregnant with her last child. The man had died in an accident during the time her son Saul was recovering from a terrible surgery, and she was pregnant. This made everyone very dismayed by the terrible situation. That's how Flavia was appreciated by everyone; she was a fighter who didn't let herself be defeated by anything or anyone.
Meanwhile, Santiago was looking for Flavia everywhere, looking for her desperately. He couldn't leave it like this; he wanted to demand that she explain the reason for her silence. She should have said that she wasn't the mistress, that she hadn't been the one who hurt his family.
He couldn't find her; there was no trace of her. But what made him most anxious was something the hospital reported. His personal assistant, Leonel, was the one who was looking for some other information about her, and that's when he discovered the pregnancy test. Flavia was one month and one week along when she had the tests done. For Santiago, it was clear that it was his. Flavia was only with him outside of work and his house. At the hospital, it was the same; she only went to those places, and he knew it. He had her watched all the time, but when it all ended, he just wanted to forget her, for her to go far away; however, now he just wants to talk to her, and even more so knowing that she had a child in her womb, although he doesn't know if she would have it, he still wants to clarify this.
TWO YEARS LATER.
At the Flabel company, Santiago is getting ready to make a visit. They are entering the soybean export business, a great business, and they are having cooperations with producers. For this, they will now meet with the hacienda La Companera, which is one of those with the highest production.
The executives of Flabel Corporation traveled to the small town of Los Sauces. The place is very beautiful, and nearby are the largest soybean producers in the region.
As soon as they arrived, they knew that they should stay at the town's hostel; however, Mr. Mario Miranda, the hacienda's coordinator, had invited the delegation to stay at the big house, the hacienda's house where the owners lived. Most of the meetings would be held there, and it didn't make sense for them to come and go when they had so much space on the premises.
Santiago arrived at the place and was impressed by the infrastructure; it was beautiful, an old colonial-style mansion with long hallways and corridors with delicately carved wooden pillars, mostly French-style windows, but with a local touch that made them look exquisite.
While Santiago was distracted by the details, a woman approximately his age approached him with a pleasant smile.
"President Flabel, welcome, allow me to lead you to your room, dinner will be served soon," said Leila, who is in charge of public relations for the largest soybean-producing hacienda in the country.
"Thank you, will the owners be joining us?" Santiago said with his characteristic seriousness.
"I regret to inform you that it will not be possible, but they will be there in the morning for breakfast. They had an unforeseen event today," said the woman with a pleasant smile. However, she looked at him intrigued by the peculiar color of this man's eyes; it was really interesting to her.
Santiago, used to this, just limited himself to walking to go to his room, which the woman understood and guided him through the hallways illuminated by beautiful skylights and pots with local flowers, everything was like a dream in that place.
That night, the delegation of investors headed by Santiago had dinner and talked, also expressing their thoughts on the matter.
"They say that the owner of this estate is a reclusive person and that no one sees her frequently," said the partner of the Flabel company.
"I was told that he is a hermit who only takes care of his wife and his two children, that he keeps her hidden, since she is very beautiful," said another of the partners looking everywhere.
"I was told that at night they cut out the tongues of gossips who come to sleep under their roof and on top of that spread rumors," said Martin, who is Santiago's best friend and now his chief financial officer.
Everyone was silent, but only Santiago gave a mocking smile when he saw their faces of panic.
As expected, at night, things were different, the place was quieter, the sound of nocturnal animals could be heard clearly, which made the partners not want to go out, and even more so with Martin's little joke.
