Episode 5

The next morning, very early, Sofia and her family leave the apartment. A high-end van was already waiting for her in the parking lot.

The man in the black suit with a friendly expression greeted the girl.

"Good morning, Mrs. Reinoso." He immediately opens the back door of the van.

"Good morning." The girl returned the greeting.

She puts her children in first, then Susana gets in. Seeing how luxurious the van was inside, Susana was impressed.

"Well, I'm starting to like the idea of you working as a model for Zorrilla." Susana commented, delighted to be traveling in a van like that.

"Aunt, Susana, what did you say?" Upon hearing the surname Zorrilla, Sarah scoffed.

The girl innocently covers her mouth, to laugh at the Zorrilla family surname. She had never heard such a funny surname.

Susana strokes the girl's head.

"Zorrilla, my love.

"That's the surname of the owner of the agency where your mom is going to work."

Cesar, who was just listening and not saying anything, looked at his mother for an answer.

"Did you hear, brother?! Mom is going to work for an animal."

From what Sarah had understood, foxes are animals, which is why she thought her mother was going to work for one of them.

Sofia burst out laughing at her daughter's innocence.

"No, no, my love.

"I'm not going to work for any animal, that's the surname of the person who hired me. Zorrilla." Sofia explained between laughs.

"Honey, where did you get the idea that your mommy is going to work with an animal?" Susana didn't stop laughing.

"Aunt, don't make fun of me. You said that yourself." Exclaimed the little girl furiously.

"These children are incredible, wait until their father meets them." Susana commented without thinking.

The atmosphere inside the van became extremely tense. Susana covers her mouth, realizing the terrible mistake she has made.

It was evident that sooner or later, Sofia must meet her ex, she will live in the same city for a year. She will live with important people, and on more than one occasion she must meet him.

Sofia must face the mother of her ex-love, for the well-being of her mother. She must tell Fernando that she became pregnant and has two children by him.

"Aunt, don't talk about Dad!" Cesar scolded Susana, seeing that the smile had been erased from his mother's lips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to open that wound." Susana apologized immediately.

"It doesn't matter, Susana..." Sofia replies.

After that, no one said anything else. Sofia was looking out the window of the van.

She imagined what her reunion with the father of her children could be like. She still loved Fernando too much. During those five years, her love for him is the same.

It was such an intense and pure love, which was impossible to tear from her heart. Every night when going to bed, her tears fall from her eyes, wetting her cheeks.

She took a deep sigh, hoping that her love was not married and had another family.

That would be a hard blow for her. For five years she longed to meet Fernando and tell him everything that his mother forced her to do.

Immersed in her thoughts, Sofia doesn't realize that they have already arrived.

"Mommy, is something wrong?"

Hearing her daughter's voice, Sofia returned to reality, forced a distorted smile and said.

"Nothing's wrong, my life."

"Mommy, we arrived at the airport, come on, get down..." The girl ordered, eager to get on the plane.

"Ah, of course, my love." Sofia got out of the van, helping her children get out.

The driver of the van drove off with the suitcases. While the two girls stay behind.

"Sofia, something is happening to you, tell me what it is?" Susana stops Sofia abruptly.

"Let's talk about this when we have arrived. I don't want my children to hear our conversation." Sofia replied.

"Okay..." Susana takes Cesar's hand and takes him to board the plane, being a private plane, Sofia and her family avoided waiting so long to leave the city.

Hours passed, they arrived at Miami International Airport.

Cesar was tired, sleeping in his mother's arms, although he was a bit big, Sofia could still carry him.

She walked with difficulty with her son in her arms. A tall man, with white skin, and expressionless eyes, approached them.

"Madam, my name is Gustavo, I am the driver sent by the Zorrilla company." The man introduces himself and shows his badge.

"Thank you, Gustavo. Could you help me take my son to the van, Susana will go with you. I have to do something important before we leave."

The man, who was quite rough, carried the boy as if it were nothing. Sofia held Sarah's hand, leading her to the bathroom.

When they arrive at the women's bathroom, the girl no longer wants to enter.

"Mommy, I don't need to go to the bathroom anymore, we can go back with my brother and aunt."

Sofia rolls her eyes, turns around, when she was about to return with Susana and her son, a journalist crossed her path.

"Woow, the beautiful Sofia Reinoso!"

The man lunged at the girl, because of that, Sofia let go of her daughter's hand to separate the man.

"Hey, what's wrong with you!" The girl pushed the journalist away forcefully.

That scene attracts the attention of more journalists. Who spend their time at airports waiting for the arrival of more celebrities.

Suddenly, more journalists approached her like bees on honey. Preventing her from escaping.

Scared, Sarah moved away from her mother in search of help. She walks towards the exit, however, she trips over a man's leg.

The man, feeling the sudden blow, looked down, observing the girl lying on the floor.

Little Sarah's eyes filled with tears. Cursing having traveled. Seeing the little girl, Fernando felt a kinship with her, the girl reminded him so much of his beloved Sofia.

Without thinking, Fernando Monte Mayor bent down to pick up the little girl. He carries her in his arms.
