CHAPTER SEVEN

His Hometown

 

June 5, 2010, Saturday. Ramil left early for golf. He usually played golf not for leisure but for business endeavor. 

Aimee spent the rest of the day with Ivan. He was still in ICU because of the continuous monitoring of his heart. His external burns had been healing well. They were not yet healed but she could see some developments. Charles also informed her that his other internal organs were also improving and still on the process of healing. Ivan was also scheduled for a reconstructive surgery on his face by Monday. 

She found out from a nurse that Ramil had been constantly visiting Ivan every early in the morning. 

It was only during that night on their flight to Isla Ezperanza aboard his private plane that they met for the first time in that day. 

They didn’t talk much over the flight because he was still working. 

They reached the Dominguez Mansion at exactly eight o’clock in the evening. 

They were warmly welcomed by Don Vicente Dominguez. Sandra wasn’t there to welcome them. 

“I’m glad you come, Aimee,” the old man told her. “Well, pardon Sandra for not being here. Her friends are throwing her a last minute bridal shower. They’re at my hotel at the north. She’ll be staying there until tomorrow. Our beach wedding and the reception will be done there.” 

Aimee answered with sincerity, “Sure, there will be more instances when I can meet her personally.” 

The old man agreed, “Yes. Well, let’s have dinner first. So that we can all retire early. "

They did. 

During the dinner, Don Vicente and Ramil talked about some business matters. 

“Have you already told Sandra about your plans on your properties?” 

“She doesn’t need to know,” Don Vicente looked at Aimee and said, “I’m going to sell this mansion and all of the four hotels to him because I want to spend an early retirement touring around the world with Sandra.” 

“I see,” Aimee just said. 

Ramil told Aimee, “We would be coming back here after their honeymoon so that Vic and I can deal on the details of it. You must also go through the files on the CDs about the hotels and this mansion that Vic would be giving us today.” 

Vic said, “I heard you’re a CPA, and an MBA in Economics holder as well as  a DBA in Finance holder, Aimee. You’ll surely be an asset to this shrewd businessman-fiancé of yours.” 

The dinner went well. The three of them had a really nice conversation about personal and business matters. 

Ramil had really admired Aimee for having a great brain for business. Vic was really amazed on how smart she was. 

In their guestroom, Aimee was already comfortably seated on the bed. She was wearing the only knickers camisole and knickers shorts Guada had packed for her. They were of black see-through lace. Ramil, who was just wearing his boxers, was about to join her in bed when somebody knocked on the door. Aimee stood up and opened the door. 

A very sophisticated woman appeared by the doorway and the lady said, “You must be, Aimee.” 

Ramil went beside Aimee and held her tightly on his side, “She’s Sandra, honey.”
