The
well-heeled youthful Rafael Giovanni Napoleon was cherished by
many during his existence. His deceased father,
Federico Alonzo Napoleon had bequeathed all his
fortune to
his idolized son for one day he would get married and have children
of his own to guard. Rafael Giovanni would search for the
ideal
woman to marry all over the world. He would travel from continent to
continent looking for the righteous woman to fall in love with.
Rafael Giovanni found many along the way. He found an alluring
woman in West Germany, named Abigail Rudman.
For Rafael Giovanni,
it was love at first sight. She would perish just to be his love for
one day! Unfortunately, Abigail had a husband waiting for her at home
and a lover on the side. Rafael Giovanni was
anguished once
he found out about Abigail's husband and lover. She was not a one-man
woman. Therefore, she was not the virtuous woman for Rafael Giovanni.
Rafael Giovanni
left Berlin intending to find his soul-mate in Barcelona, Spain.
Rafael Giovanni arrived in Barcelona, Spain. “Wow, che bel
paese. Troverò il mio amore qui di
sicuro.” Rafael Giovanni
was Italian. He said, “Wow, what a beautiful country. I'll
find my love here for sure.” What he expected indeed
happened. He met Maria Isabel, a Spanish seamstress who worked for
owners of a large cloth company headquartered in New York, United
States. After dating a year, Maria Isabel
became Rafael Giovanni
Napoleon's wife. Maria Isabel never touched a dime
of Rafael Giovanni's fortune. She was an independent,
loving, and caring woman. One day, she told Rafael Giovanni she was
pregnant. For a second, Rafael Giovanni thought he was
dreaming.
Maria Isabel resulted being the ideal woman. The woman of his dreams.
The woman he desired. Rafael Giovanni lived a wonderful life with his
love Maria Isabel. One day she received a call from one of the owners
of the company, Donald M. Walter. Donald M. Walter wanted Maria
Isabel to sign a full contract with the company.
This
was amazing news for Maria Isabel because it meant more work and more
money. At first, Rafael Giovanni didn't want the love
of
his life to fly alone all the way to the United States. Raphael
couldn't travel during that time because he had business to manage.
Eventually, Rafael Giovanni decided to let Maria Isabel make
the
flight to New York. “It will only take one day, mi
amor. Don't miss me too much. I'll be back before you know it. I love
you, Hermoso.” said Maria Isabel, as she headed
towards the door. “How can I not miss you my love? If
every second of the day I think of you and I cannot picture myself
without you?” said Rafael Giovanni staring into Maria
Isabel's captivating eyes. Rafael Giovanni hugged his wife,
kissed her endlessly, and kissed her belly where his little
Rafael Jr. was. He didn't want to let them go. “Have
a nice flight, amor mio.” He said with a smile.
Maria
Isabel went inside the airplane. The lady of the airplane
said, “To
all passengers please put on your seat-belt, we are about to
take off.” Maria Isabel called Rafael Giovanni and
left him a voicemail. “Honey, we're about to take off. I just
wanted to tell you I love you, mi vida. You make me
so
happy. I can't wait to sign this contract and be back home with you.
I want to have our son already. Te quiero Amor, I have to go. I will
call you once I get there. Besos! Chao.” Maria Isabel
couldn't stop smiling. She was looking through her pictures. Pictures
of Rafael Giovanni and herself.
Maria
Isabel closed her eyes and leaned back to her sit. Suddenly, the
airplane began to shake. A man on Maria Isabel's right side
said, “I
think the pilot's having a heart attack Madam! I don't think we will
survive this.” Maria Isabel quickly stood up to walk
further to where the pilot was. “He's having a heart
attack! and I don't know how to operate the plane. I'm so sorry. I
don't know where we're going to land.” said the pilot's
assistant. Maria Isabel was having contractions due to pregnancy. She
was nervous and didn't know what to do. A man came,
held
her hand, and told her to take a breath or two. The pilot lost
complete body function and passed away. The airplane moved
east
and west, side to side, and lost control falling straight towards the
ground. The airplane crashed into a field of trees. Maria Isabel was
injured but alive and ready to give birth. The man that was sitting
next to Maria Isabel leaned on her. She told him she was ready to
have a baby boy. She wasn't feeling at her best to have this child.
However,
she knew she was going to die and wanted to have her
baby
for Rafael Giovanni: The love of her
life. “I
feel weak. my head hurts from the injuries but I need you to deliver
this baby for me please, sir. The father of my child is
Rafael Giovanni Napoleon. You will meet him once I’m
on the news.” said Maria Isabel anxiously. “Oh
my! what a coincidence. I am a doctor madam. I
deliver
babies all the times. There is no problem. I will do as you
please, okay? Let's see. I'm a little rough from the injuries too,
but I will try my best to welcome this baby into the
world.” replied
the man. “Thank you so much. And please, tell Giovanni I
love him with all my heart. To make this child, our
son proud. To
never forget his mother, Maria Isabel, she loved him more
than life.” said Maria Isabel.
She
laid back against the two chairs to spread her legs apart. The man
was a genius for he didn't need anyone else to deliver this baby. He
put on gloves he had in his travel bag and a face mask. “Push
Maria, push as hard as you can and when you're tired let
go.” Maria
Isabel pushed and pushed so much that her forehead was covered in
sweat. Her head kept hurting but she kept pushing harder. The
most beautiful baby was born. “He looks like you,
Madam.” said the man, carrying the
child. “Can
I hold him?” asked Maria. “Of course, he is yours.
What will you name him?” replied the man, signing
papers. “I will name him after his father,
Rafael Giovanni
Napoleon The Third.” She said holding the baby. Maria
Isabel gave the baby to the man shedding tears. She said she
couldn't help it. She felt as if a car ran her over. The man
took the baby and came to Maria Isabel. “Madam, I am so sorry,
how I wish to help you live longer. You have become a
Mother. What is your last wish, I promise I will make it come
true.” said the man, in a pitiful voice. “Thank
you for bringing my baby into the world. My only wish is for
Rafael Giovanni to live a happy life. I want him to remarry.
He
needs the ideal woman, sir. A woman who will be an excellent Mother
to our child and an upstanding wife to Rafael.” replied
Maria Isabel. “Well, let's see what I can do about that,
Madam. I happen to have a daughter who couldn't have children no
matter how much she wished to have them.” said the man, as
he held Rafael The Third.
Maria
Isabel smiled at the man. She acceded with his daughter being the
adoptive Mother for her baby, Maria Isabel kissed her son goodbye and
closed her eyes. She passed away that night. The man got
out of
the plane with the child in arms. All others were dead. Finally, a
helicopter came searching for the lost airplane and its passengers.
Rafael Giovanni was at home finishing what he had to get done.
The police saw the man with a baby in his arms
walking to a
nearby station. The man now identified as Doctor Edward Rudman told
them what happened. The pilot suffered from a heart attack and the
pilot's assistant couldn't do anything to stop the plane from
falling. He said he needed to look for Rafael Giovanni. The
baby
was his and Maria Isabel's, the woman who was also boarding the
plane. They examined the bodies and
realized they were
all dead, including Maria Isabel. A rescue came to take the
bodies away. The police took Dr. Edward Rudman and the baby to
a hospital. Rafael Giovanni went to the master
bedroom. He
checked his cell phone and noticed he had a voicemail. He
pressed the listened button. It was the message Maria Isabel
left him minutes before the airplane lost control.
Rafael Giovanni smiled. He decided to call her. The
man had
Maria Isabel's cell phone with him.“Hello, is this
Rafael Giovanni?” He said. “Who is this?
Where is my wife? Why do you have her cell
phone with
you?!” asked Rafael Giovanni.
“Oh
my! you must be Rafael I am so sorry to give you such
heart-breaking news. You need to come to Madrid
Hospital.” said
Eddy. Rafael Giovanni had no idea what he meant. He
went
anyways. Later at the Hospital: “Hi, I'm looking for a man
who I spoke with on the phone, He told me to come here as soon as
possible. He called me from my wife's cell phone. I don't know why.
My name is Rafael Giovanni.” He said to the lady in
the front desk. “I'm so sorry for your lost,
Giovanni. There was nothing else to do but you'd be happy to know
that, your son is healthy! All he needs is medicine to calm down his
cough.” replied the lady. “What? my son? what
happened to my
wife?!” he asked shockingly, Rafael
saw a man coming out of the hospital room carrying a
child. “Hello,
to the mighty Rafael, here is your handsome son,
Rafael Giovanni
Napoleon The Third. I am a witness of it all. I helped your wife
bring your child into the world. Without my help; you would have lost
this child. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything for your
lovely wife.” said Eddy giving the baby to
Rafael “My
wife passed away? this can't be real. I must be dreaming. How did
this happen?” Rafael Giovanni was devastated. He
carried the child still thinking it was all a dream. He couldn't
believe Maria Isabel was no longer with him. “Airplane
crush, son.
The
pilot lost control. He died from a heart attack. The assistant
wasn't prepared to take over. I'm lucky to be here speaking to you,
son. I was brave enough to not give up and help your wife deliver
this precious child.” said Eddy. “Thank you so
much, you are a hero. You will be blessed all your life! This
is
the only memory I have of Maria Isabel: The love of my
life.” Rafael kissed the baby on his forehead, he was
crying. “I have one more promise to keep. Your wife said
she wanted you to remarry. She said you need the perfect wife
and mother for your child. My daughter is single and dejected because
she cannot have children of her own. She had a husband who divorced
her. She had a boyfriend who betrayed her. I want
you to
marry my daughter, son.” Edward reached into his
wallet and took out a picture of his daughter. “I'm sorry
doctor, how can I think about marriage at a time like this? I
can’t thank you enough for helping Maria Isabel deliver my
child but I cannot go on just like that. I need to grieve what I have
lost. My wife was everything to me.” replied
Rafael in
a mournful voice.
“Here
she is, Abigail Rudman. She is my only daughter. All of them died at
birth. I know how it feels to lose a child, Maria
Isabel
loved you very much. She assured it before saying goodbye, but her
last wish was for you to move on and enjoy a second
wife.” Rafael Giovanni remembered Abigail, he
couldn't believe his eyes! it was Abigail Rudman the woman who he
couldn't marry years before because she wasn't the ideal woman.
Rafael Giovanni took the picture and kissed
it. “Whoa,
you are full of surprises! do you know my daughter,
son?” asked
Eddy. “I sure do, doctor and I will make her
my
wife. She has no husband or lover at this time?” he asked.
"No, she does not. She is alone in this world. She is
a sweet heart! What a small world; you know my daughter from
somewhere and now you will marry her.” Edward was
proud. “She would've been the first one to become my wife,
but when we met, she had a husband and a lover. I thought she was one
for all.” said Rafael. “Oh no! Abigail is not
that kind of woman. Her husband filed for divorce so she was dating
the other guy but it didn't work out. replied Edward. “Well,
that is good to know, Mr. Rudman. Have I known this before I would've
married her then. God has given me another chance to marry my ideal
woman.
The
very first one I found and thought she was not ethical. God is
marvelous! For he let me have this child with Maria Isabel because
Abigail can’t have her own. I will make her wish come true and
marry your enchanting daughter, sir. Now my Maria Isabel can rest in
peace.” Rafael Giovanni and Edward left the
hospital. They went to visit Abigail.
Rafael Giovanni
and Abigail were reunited. Abigail told Rafael that she never
forgot him, from the bottom of her heart she always loved
him. “I
knew I would have your love one day. I loved you from the first day
we crossed eyes. I will be the perfect wife and your child will
have a great mother.” said Abigail putting
her
arms across Rafael's face. They held hands
and began
to kiss, Rafael Giovanni missed Maria Isabel, but in his
heart,
he knew she wasn't coming back. All the love he had for her was now
for Abigail. He figured Abigail would become the ideal woman for him
and an exceptional Mother for Raphael Giovanni Napoleon The Third.
