At Nano's house, I walk inside the balcony. Nano stands smoking as I get in Nano throws the cigarette "Really"
Nano takes me between his arms "You're pregnant, Cigarette is danger"
I roll my eyes and my phone beeps. I take out my phone and there are a lot of messages from Emma.
Nano asks "What?"
"Emma just sent me a lot of places to get in rehab because we will keep the baby"
"You should get in?"
"Well, yeah because I can't stay sober for two days but that progress I couldn't stay sober for one day"
"You want to get in one?"
"I had no idea, Did you tell anyone?"
"No, I won't say, let's keep it for us until we knew" Samuel walks out of his room "Why are you still up? "
Samuel says "I can't stop thinking about something" he sits on the couch arm "Who the father of Marina's baby is?"
I say "She didn't tell me too so don't put it in your head"
Samuel says "I'm losing my mind."
Nano looks at me "Not the only one"
I sigh looking at the street.

In the company, meeting office. I sit at the head of the table as the head director of the companies are here except Teo.
I rub my head from the headache of their arguing "Okay, enough people!!" I hit the table roughly "We are in the company, not the streets"
They stop turning their attention to me.
I back in the chair "This is a trading company that means gain and loss. If we gain, we gain together, and if we lose, we lose together If no one is convinced of my words, the door is open, but no one will take their financial dues, even if I get the money until the case is over.
"I know, we are in a hard position but this company is like our home and it's the first time that happen. The bank accounts are zero. The decision is yours. Will you work and deliver the goods on time and get the money, or will you hand over the company's custody to Maria"
All of them share a look "We're in"
I smile "Great" to Maria "Give them the files"
Maria put in front of everyone file "Here, new rules with a new project it will help us to fix the situation"
They open the file look inside it.
I sigh "You can be dismissed and we will take tomorrow"

In the prison, I sit at the chair waiting for Ventura as he arrive and sit a cross of me. I smile warmly. Our family are ashamed when he is arrested and only Guzmán visits him.
I answer the phone smile "Hola, Papa."
Ventura smiles "Hola, How are you, And your mother? And your sister and brother, how are they?"
"They are thinking of you. Mostly after seeing your bank accounts"
"We needed the cash, we had problems with the construction company. We'll get a good return on that investment. Do you understand?"
"After you put me in the hell position of CEO, No one wants to help us" sigh "But I want you to knew I won't give up, I had a plan and already working on it"
"I know for that I put you in this position. Rosa like Bible"
"I saw the Bible in your drawer"
"The answer is there"
"What answer?"
"About everything" he looks around meaning can't say.
I wonder "Are you sure?"
Ventura nods "Yes. You're smart and will figure out easily, it's all connected where I was taking you every summer"
I smile "Don't worry. It's going to be all right."

In the company, I sit on the chair while Maria shows me the new contracts. Teo storms in "How dare you hold a board meeting without my knowledge?"
I raise my eyebrow "Ummmmm" turn to her "Maria, can you leave us?"
Maria takes the files "Excuse me" she walks outside close the door behind her.
I give him a look "What were you talking about a while ago?" I nod "Si, Look, Teo" I glare at him "Don't you ever talk to me like that in front of the secretary or anyone"
Teo glares at me "When you want to talk to me, my name is Mr. Roson"
"My name is Ms. Nunier Osuna, and I do whatever I want here at my company."
Teo trying to hold his nerve "And here I am in charge of all your father's companies"
I smirk "Was!! in the past, I'm the CEO now, so you work for me, whatever happens here, you come back to me for permission"
Teo crosses his arms to his chest "And now we're all grown up and have claws"
I back in my chair "Get that talk out there. This is your boss's office. If you want anything, make a request to Maria"
Teo angrily "Are you aware of what you are saying"
I point at the door "Mr. Roson, please go outside, I have a lot of papers, the accountant told me that there is corruption and embezzlement of funds, I want to focus"
"Don't speak with confidence, one call and everyone will knows you're addicted"
I smile "And with the same call, tell him that you made your nephew beat me until my ribs broke and I was on the brink of death. And the paper you made me sign without my knowledge and take my money, I think my father has nothing to lose so he will testify with me" I stand cross my arms to my chest smirking "So how about we make it all official, or do you work here as anyone?"
Teo storms outside and I take a deep breath to control my anger.

In the apartment, Nano and I sit on the floor. I make some calls.
Nano holds the Bible trying to find something "Rosa, look"
I put my phone a way "What?"
Nano points at page "Ventura marks this, In Isaiah 35:1, which reads, "the desert shall bloom like the rose."
I take the Bible "he marked this"
I am a Rosa of sharon
I start to read "I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women."
"What does it mean?"
"No, idea"
I open my laptop and Google it.
Rose of Sharon is a name that has been applied to several different species of flowering plants that are valued in different parts of the world.
It is also a biblical expression, though the identity of the plant referred to is unclear and is disputed among biblical scholars.
In neither case does it refer to actual roses, although one of the species it refers to in modern usage is a member of Rosaceae.
The deciduous flowering shrub known as the rose of Sharon is a member of the mallow family which is distinct from the family Rosaceae. The name's colloquial application has been used as an example of the lack of precision of common names, which can potentially cause confusion.
"Rose of Sharon" has become a frequently used catch phrase in poetry and lyrics.
The name "Rose of Sharon" first appears in Hebrew in the Tanakh. In the Shir Hashirim ('Song of Songs' or 'Song of Solomon') 2:1, the speaker (the beloved) says "I am the rose of Sharon, a rose of the valley".The name "Rose of Sharon" first appears in Hebrew in the Tanakh.
I read the article for Nano.
Nano opens the last page "Look, he write that 'I am the Rose of Sharon rose of the vally, trick mind game' Where did he take you in summer?"
"We went to Italy, wait" I look at him "Trick mind game, our old game" I take a pen and write down the same word
I am the rose of Sharon a rose of the valley
"This game to circle the first alphabetical and make another word"
I circle them and write them again
I a t r o s a r o t v
Nano tries to read it "Iatro sarotv??!"
I shake my head "No" I stare at the words.
Nano mocks me "Are you trying to scare them"
I hit him playfully "funny" I clap "Got it"
"What?"
I write down
I at Rosa Ro tv
"I at rosa Ro tv"
Nano wonders "What is Rosa ro?"
"I heard him once said that he had house in Italy named Rosa Ro"
Nano gives me a look "Tv"
"The address, if I get it right TV, Is Treviso city, Vialle Della Repubblica street. Where he take me once"
"So he maybe puts money there"
I shrug "Maybe"
Nano puffs "He couldn't just write that down"
"Maybe he scared it fall in the wrong hands"
Nano lays at the couch and we hear door open.
Samuel walks in "Hola"
I turn to him with smile "Hola"
Samu sits looking at Nano "Still thinking about the blackmail idea?"
I look at him confused.
Nano sighs "I'm not sure" he sits smiling "What are you thinking?"
Samu looks at me "Let's go get them."
Nano put his hand on my shoulder "you wanted revenge and here it comes a chance, Rosa"
