Dirty Little Secret - Not Edited

Myla Mendez

My parents were coming home today, thankfully I was in better shape so they didn't find out about my injury. My dad would have been proud of me for 'taking it like a champ' my mother on the other hand would have me on bed rest for the rest of my life.

I stood in my closet picking out an outfit. I had just showered and Luna, Angelina, and I were going out for lunch today. They were both having a gender reveal party next week and wanted me to help plan it. 

I slipped on a black leather skirt which had a slit going up the side, a black lace bodysuit, and I put on black paten Loubutions.

I left my hair down in long loose curls and made my way downstairs. Luna and Angelina were already waiting in the car for me. I told them to wait in my black G-Wagon because that has more seats.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my black YSL bag and my phone from the island and left shouting bye to the guys.

We arrived at the small cafe shortly after and luna and Angelina both said they felt sick with my driving.

We were seated inside the cafe, I had a pasta dish whilst the girls had a large pizza each. Hormones I guess.

"I was thinking for the baby shower, if you guys are having it on the same day then why don't we do it kind of joined?"

They both nodded clearly happy with my plan. "I have so many ideas!" I said excitedly.

"We were talking this morning and before the babies arrive we are gonna find a house," Angelina said.

Whilst waiting on my parents to return everyone has been staying here with me. Which I don't mind, to be honest, I enjoy spending time with everyone here...even Enzo.

"That's exciting!" I said just as my phone rang. Both of them looked at each other looking slightly upset. I ignored it and looked at my phone.

I didn't recognize the number but I answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Mendez?"

"Speaking."

"Hello, my name is Gwen, I work at Leverndale Hospital in NYC. I have a police officer here who wants to speak to you if that's alright?"

"Um...okay"

...

...

"Hello, Ms. Mendez?"

"YES!"

"Sorry, my name is  Officer Petter. I'm sorry to have to do this over the phone..."

"What is it?"

"There was a report of suicide last night. Once we arrived at the scene the only contact information on the pair wa-"

"WHO?"

"It is a Mr. Mario Selena and a Mrs. Selena Mendez..."

He continued talking but I couldn't hear anything.

I dropped my phone to the ground making it shatter, Luna and Angelina ran over to me asking me what was wrong but I couldn't answer. I couldn't even cry.

***

It's been three days since I found out my parents killed themselves. As soon as Vincent and Maria heard they came straight home.

I have been sat on my bed. The room in silence. I don't want to speak to anyone...and I can't.

Vincent has been running the Italian Mafia for me. I signed the papers as soon as I got home, which I know sounds ill-hearted and cruel but it's Mafia Law.

Angelina and Luna were sat downstairs in the kitchen and came and got me forcing me down to play monopoly with them. They are just trying to get my mind off it.

I had done the funeral plan yesterday and it was tomorrow. My heart was breaking I don't know what I'm going to do without them. I'm In this house by myself as of Friday and we are on Thursday.

"Myla?" Enzo called on me from my fath- my office.

I never spoke I just moved away from the table and walked down the hall. Enzo was stood facing the desk and it was completely cleared of all of my father's papers.

"All his work is in that cupboard if you-" I moved over to him and wrapped my arms around him hugging him. He stood still for a moment probably from shock then he relaxed and cradled me. I hid my face in his neck and he kissed the top of my head.

"I'm sorry Myla. So fucking sorry." I let my silent sobs fall onto his dress shirt.

I'm so broken.

"Do you want me to do anything?" I shook my head no and he held me close to him just cuddling me.

We stood like that for a moment before I eventually decided to pull away. Even though I really didn't want to.

"I'm gonna get started on work." I said wiping my tears off my cheeks.

"You don't need to Myla I can - " I gave him a stern look and moved to my desk. "I'm the boss now Enzo. Get me all my men in here. We need to talk about the Russians." He gave a slight smirk and walked out.

I opened the laptop and began working waiting for my workers to arrive. Enzo walked in and sat down in front of the desk. "Can I help you?" He relaxed back into the chair and rested his feet on the desk.

"I'm the boss too." I gave him a confused look and moved my laptop to the side. "What?" His smirk only grows wider.

"My dad just signed me over. You're looking at your boss Myla." Fuck me.

No not like that.

Just for fuck sake.

He stood up and walked over towards me. All 6ft 3 of him stood in front of me looking down. "Looks like Capo is here, so I suggest you take your pretty little ass out of the chair and wait for the rest of the men to come.

I stood up and raised my arm to slap him, but he catches my wrist and backs me up against the wall, he leans down to my ear. In his low, husky voice he whispers "Wanna try that again sweetheart?"

I cowered a little under his gaze, he smiled and turned around sitting back down on my seat.

Asshole.
