La Muñeca

conspiracy sh!t

Driving to Ennico Ridrigo house is beautiful, Hacienda made my mind flash memories of a time when I still had my soul attach.

The day Henry & I held Joaquin as the holy water touch his forehead was the day I knew our life was going to be forever changed.
Now, I'm here to meet the man who vows to take care of my son in front gods eyes but in reality he just took his soul.

We pulled into a green carpet landscape on top of a hill; two-story older hacienda with off colors of the orange and fade browns that mimicked sunset in the fall with the view of the brightest blues ocean as background. There were endless shades of blues, there was no beginning or end of the sky and the ocean touch

Sr. Ridgrio and Henry were the same age a man is closer to sixty but did not look a day over forty. I ran up to older man hugging him, as he wraps his arms around me, "Muñeca , you look marvelous as usual."

He's beautiful smile and soft around the edges made me love this man, Henry was always jealous of how I can show him affection. Ennico held his feelings on his sleeve and a complete charmer. He stood with an expensive pin straight suit, colorful bow tie, and signature mark fedora hat.
"Wheres mi Niño Joaquin?"
He looks behind me waiting to see if my son appear. "I was heading to Florida for a meeting."
"Awwe I see. Bella, I'm sorry for your lost, Henry was an extraordinary man."
I look down with sadness to my eyes as he grabs my chin to face him, "No need to be saddened, Amor."

He's beautiful thick accent is deep with velvety soft tone show ounce of compassion and love, something about it fills me up with love. "Henry was a wonderful man, he's missed daily."
A warm smile escape he's marvelous face, "Come we need to speak."

We walk passed long dark hall build of red bricks and the sunlight can be seen at the end feeling like I'm walking through a tunnel. We walk to an open room with high ceiling arch windows and roundtables with tiny finger foods.

I've stayed one month after Joaquin baptized and no matter how long I've stayed in this Hacienda, it still gave me goosebumps. I was too busy looking around taking the marvelous decor when a cough peak around the corner, there he stood the Archbishop De Linus of the Catholic Church; the man who baptizes Joaquin.
Something about this man gave me all the wrong vibes, I walk up to him to kiss his hand and bow my head until I get the nod. This was an important meeting, all my guards and weapons stayed out of this room. I was only allowed to speak when spoke to, something I hated and dreaded. I had to even cover my body showing no skin.
"Grace, I'm sorry for your lost." I keep my head down, "Thank you, Archbishop."
"Sit."
We all sat down on the table as I wait what was going to come next, the servers came to serve us coffee and sugar biscottis, as the servers left Archbishops spoke, "You are to run south of Americans and all of Mexico is yours but you are to stay here to personally run Gulf cartels. We have a lot to discuss once you get swore in."

I sat up with straight back then submissives was gone, I had tons of questions. I didn't say anything but nodded with agreement, "Whose my main supplier?" I ask as smiles escape from both of their faces, "The same, only difference we're traveling by water. Something you seem very aware of doing but the shipment of cheese was brilliant, made the nunnery a lot of money too bad it made the wrong one money. Mia has been here, training"

I felt my blood boil, the muscles tense all over my body and I was ready to kill every single person in this room. He spoke again as my eyes turn into a shade of red.
"Muñeca, no need to worry shes a content child and was kept safe."

Spoke the man I had high standards of emotions for. Archbishop De Linus spoke again, "Mia has exclusive bloodline part Valentino and Idar." I shook my head in disbelief how did he know, "Grace or Frida what you prefer, we know everything. We know Joaquin isn't Henry's but so did he. Henry loved him as his own blood so we saw it fit.
Joaquin is heir of this Empire as his son after. This isn't a democracy. Henry comes from a long line of this organization. You have shown deep promising which what can I say its in your blood. Your father was Outlaw in Calfornia but I know you didn't know that. Mia is destined to be Joaquin Protector and his right-hand man. With Florida fiasco has been taken care of. Frida Idar has been announced dead. You will remain in the shadows because of that how we do it. Henry little outburst of rebels clubs is closed. You will officially be a Collins."
I had to ask, "What's the catch." I disobey the whole only speak when told to.

"We will take the percentage of income and Father Tomas is to be with you at all times. You will have to move to the heart of it all. Cancún is right in the middle of a perfect shore, all the money will get a transfer in tourist attractions like cruise ships, hotels, and your personal favorites."

I had more dozen questions, why wasn't I told Mia was close, where is Valentino, Does Alek know? "Mia will go home within the next couple days."
After that, he left the room as I exhale a deep breath.
"Sorry, Amor" Was all Ennico said. I wanted to cry, scream and kill!!
I became bloodthirsty, this complete Illuminati shit you read in conspiracy blogs. "Bella, there will be a ceremony held in ca day and You will be sworn in."

I was confused all these crazy stories everyone heard as a kid about an elite people coming together was just like a myth but nope. Here I was going to get ready to met people from different titles all over the country. "Why me?"
"Bella, why not. You have ruled Organized crime within weeks of Henry's death. You made billions the best thing about this no matter what you will never end up behind steel bars, and your children will always remain safe."
"Even from the Valentinos?"
"Yes, Amoricto. Come let us see get you fitted."
