Jealous

The car

It was a quiet night.The family Blanco,Mexico's most famous fashion and designer house,was at rest. The Blanco's, very infuential,lived in Mexico City,in the center of the city,at a lavish townhouse.

It was beautiful,all in gold and silver,with lion heads at the front gates. A fountain,a swimming

pool that was on the inside and outside,and chandeliers with crystals hanging from the celling. It was a quiet night.The family consisted of Bruno Blanco.A man who had gray hair,very well built,always in expensive suits,smelling of the latest fragrance.His wife Jennifer Blanco,a dark haired woman had just put their only son, Juan,to sleep. Juan was sick.Nobody knew what was happening with the child.This worried Jennifer greatly. She has went to Bruno,however he did not seem interested,in anything she had to say about their child. She knew she had to fight for the health of their child. She was also insecure about her marriage.She could not figure out what was wrong,but something was very wrong lately.Maybe it always was,she just could not figure out what to do,about the love of her life ,whom was Bruno Blanco. They lived well off,as any wealthy pair in Mexico,especially being so high up as they were,in the social scale.The Blanco's created fashion evenings for many a socialite in Mexico,and were notorious for their clothing and perfumes. They seemed to have it all.Jennifer could not produce more sons or daughters-they had just one child,Juan.However,Bruno had demonstrated a huge lack of interest in the child,as if he had other things on his mind.Jennifer, whom had a tan and black hair,was feeling very much in love with her husband. She could not imagine life without him.They were teenagers when they met,and they were very much always in love,or so she had asumed. Bruno was from a family of fashion designers,and she began her clothing empire as well,at the age of 18.That is how they met. They married and had one son,at her age of 21. However they had no luck in her other attempts of having children.It was rumored that she can not have any.Bruno was the first man she had ever slept with,and that was a bond she could not break. She felt very much enthusiastic about their marriage.Their house was filled with their portraits.

However,something was always bothering her-it was Lupe,their maid. Lupe was a woman of short stature,a blonde. She was very much everywhere Bruno was,although she was her maid,often following her as well where she went in the house.She became her confidant. She had confidence in Lupe. She had suspected her husband was cheating on her with Consuelo,their other maid. She fired her,and Bruno denied the aligations. However,Juans health was getting worse. Jennifer was mad about the maid.She had no reason not to believe Lupe,whom shed light on this cheating that was happening in their household.

Bruno said to her.

''My love,of course Lupe is right.You must believe her and me that this woman was coming on to me. She was very much in love with me,but I had nothing to do with her,we must fire her instantly.''Consuelo begged as she was brought in front of the couple.

''No,please,Lupe is lying!I do not know why Mr.Blanco is confirming her story about me,I am a decent,honest woman who works in this house,Lupe is framing me!''

''Enough.'' Said Jennifer. '' You are the one who is after my husband. Leave,and I expect you never to return.''

She was firm,standing in front of her husband and the maid, turned towards Consuelo.She did not see it,but Lupe and Bruno took their hand in each others hand,for a brief second.Then they let go.

Consuelo wept,and went away.Jennifer turned around and continued saying

'' The nerve.Lupe does nothing but help put my portraits on the walls,of this house,this vila,and is always in my bedchamber listening to everything I have to say.I find her presence very protective,I do not think there is any need of her being there with me all the time,but it's okay.''
