Mina
I looked on in admiration at my side of this huge luxury closet that was more like a clothing store.
"I can't believe I live in this mans fucking house.......what are doing Mina" I whispered to myself
I bit down on my bottom lip and shook my head. I had no idea who I gave myself to and if by doing that, did I set myself in darkness. I however knew that after my many encounters with Ric, I had fallen in love with him. He could have harmed me at any turn but ironically he became a savior in a few of my discretions. I spent the last hour organizing my side of the closet housed with everything from Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain, Prada you name it.
"Does he even feel the same way" I thought
"Oh sorry miss I didn't know anybody was in here" One if the housekeepers said coming through the door with glass cleaner and a towel.
"Oh....oh no worries, It's okay" I broke my trace to turn to her.
"I'm Rosalinda I've been with the family for years, Ric is like the son I never had. Anyway you can call me Rosa....Are you going to be staying in the estate?" She asked sincerely
"Yes I am, I'm his gi...I mean my name is Mina" I said awkwardly and shook her hand
"Nice to meet you Mina, and my god what happen to your pretty face I know Ric is not responsible?" Rosa questioned
"Oh no...no this was a doing of someone else" I replied looked down
" Aye Mija I meant no disrespect I myself am a survivor of abuse. Ricardos father, god rest his soul. He was a good man, a family man who helped me. I mean I make a good living being under this family you know. Anyway I'm going to clean the mirrors and you enjoy the rest of your night Mina." Rosalinda replied in her thick accent before turning her back
"Likewise" I said and left the closet
Once in the room I heard what appeared to be Rosa's cell ring.
"Hello Ric, did you find him?" Rosa asked with desperation
I could help but to stay put to overhear.
"Oh no Oh no, my god" Rosa said as tears formed in her eyes
I turned and saw her take a seat in one of the cream sofas. The look of sadness reigned upon her face before she let a few tears escape.
"Okay Ric, you be safe hear" Rosa ended the call and shook her head
I made my way back and slowly opened the cracked door.
"Something the matter Rosa?" I asked
"Ric's uncle was found dead...Demario Black. You know I felt something was not right. He was the last ancient piece of this family left and the Velez cartel killed him" Rosa put her head in her hands and softly weeped.
I stood froze from the information received and instantly became overwhelmed with the chain of events. I walked over and placed my delicate hand on her shoulder blade.
"I'm so sorry Rosa" I kneeled
"I'm sure it's been a long day for you and I'm also sure Ric would understand you needing to get some rest in one of the many guest rooms In here." I said
"Yes...Maybe I should rest my eyes it is pretty late, I don't know I tried to keep myself busy to not think about it." Rosa admitted
"Keeping busy won't strip away the pain Rosa" I said honestly
"That I agree...well you try and have a good nights rest mija" Rosa stood to her feet to make an exit
I stood up and watched her disappear from the space.
