Chapter 14: The Ideal Cartel Familia
Their home was magnificent, to say the least. It was a beauty for them. Eric noticed Tez staring in awe.
"This home has been in our family for generations and we're about to renovate it this year, maybe add another balcony," Eric said nonchalantly.
They finally made their way inside of the beautiful home. An older man opened the door for them. "Hello Bertrand, this is Tez, our live-in Nanny for the kids. Treat her with respect at all times. Bertrand will help you with whatever you need. Just ask." Eric sounded so confident to Tez, maybe it was because he was in his element.
They gave Tez a brief tour then showed her the room she would be staying in for the rest of the summer. Tez was so bewildered because just hours ago she was subjected to a dirt bed on the ground. Now she would be sleeping on memory foam with Egyptian cotton sheets.
"Please let me know if you need anything," Bertrand told Tez as he shut the door. Right there she broke down in tears.
Tez thought about everything she had been through thus far. She felt a whirlwind of emotions passed through her. Tez Williams had had enough. She marched out of her room and went to find Eric to demand her release her and the others.
****
"HAHAHAHAHAHA..." Eric laughed hysterically at Tez's question. "I will not, nor will I ever release you or the others. Now, are you ready to meet the children?"Tez hung her head in shame praying for a way out of this new normal. The children were well behaved and decent. Ava was the youngest, she was five and Hector was eight.
"Niños, ella es Tez, ella será su niñera. Debes ser cortés con ella y obediente. Si mamá o yo escuchamos que alguno de ustedes ha sido desobediente, lo juro por nuestro Padre de arriba.." Eric belted at the kids.
"Mi amor, eso es suficiente. Entienden lo que está en el estado," Martha interjected.
"Tez here is their schedule, they leave school precisely at 2:30 pm. You are to pick them up with Bertrand and come home. Let they are to get their homework afterward. Anything else you would like to do with them, you'll need to ask." Eric explained.
Tez kneeled down to be face to face with the kids. "Hello, what is your name? My name is Tez. Hola como se llama? Mi nombre es Tez. Vamos a divertirnos mucho juntos."
You speak Espanol beautifully, Eric thought to himself.
"Alright kids let's get ready for bed," Martha chimed. The kids rushed off to get ready for their nighttime routine.
****
Tez and Eric found a quiet spot to sit in the house to chat."So do you have any concerns with the job or with the set up of the schedule? Now is the time to speak."
"Would I be here for the rest of my days? I wouldn't go back to the warehouse?" Tez questioned.
Eric thought about her question for some time then answered, "You would be here until the kids finish school for the year, is that a problem?"
"So I would be here for another three months?" Tez asked again afraid of his response.
"Yes, that's correct, or until you're no longer needed."

I'm going to continue the story until about chapter 25, I don't want the book to be too long.
