"Mama, Mama," I called out
"I'm here my darling little flower," my mother picked me up and wrapped me in her arms.
"Mama, where is Nuno," I asked.
"Junior, is with your father," My mother answered.
"I wanted to play with him," I whined.
"I know, I know," my mother put me down and began to play with my hair.
Solo tu, eres tu quien me ilumina
Mi pequeño talismán
Y aun recuerdo esa rutina, de gozar cada mañana
En los momentos mas difíciles fuiste tu ese diva
My mother began to sing. Her voice was so gentle and sweet. It always made me feel better. Then all I saw was darkness and I felt pain. I usually never have good dreams. They are mostly bad. The nightmares I wish I could forget and move past. My back was aching and I felt like I was carrying a ton of bricks on my back. I couldn't stand up straight. I heard the door open but it was still dark so I couldn't see but I knew it was him. His smell traveled through the room, along with the scent of something delicious.
"Here, eat," he said harshly. He put a tray out in front of me and then went to the wall to turn on the flickering light. "EAT!" I didn't speak or grab anything from the tray. "Will you just f*****g eat something."
I still didn't say anything. I just waited. I waited for that moment and here it was. Riccardo leaned down and was about to force-feed me but I wrapped the chain around his neck.
"Youuu stupid b***h," he struggled to say. I looked him dead in the eyes. I wanted him to believe I was about to kill him. I never took my eyes off of him.
"ACE!" I bet he wished he could call me by my real name but sadly I never gave it. I would give it to him in his last moments so he could beg for his life properly but this wasn't his last moments. I punched him in the face twice making sure he was knocked out cold. I got up and looked through his pockets. Of course, the keys to my chains and handcuffs were on him. He didn't have a gun on him though and that was bad. I fixed myself up as best I could and took his cell phone before I slowly walked to the door. I opened it and looked around. There wasn't anyone around. I went to the left and looked over the corner to see if anyone was coming but again no one. I heard some noise coming from behind me so I continued forward.
"Run Rosa," I heard but I knew my mind was playing tricks on me. "Run Rosa." I found the front door and knew there were cameras so I ran quickly and went outside. There were many cars out front but they were too fancy to hotwire and would draw too much attention. As much as I needed fast I also needed discreet. I saw a white flower delivery truck to the side so I ran to it and hotwired it. I got in and quickly drove away as I also began to dial Michael.
"PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!" I said after four unanswered rings.
"WHO IS THIS?" Michael shouted.
"IT'S ME. help me, is my car still at the Viper room,"
"No, we found it and we have been looking for you nonstop,"
"Well, meet me somewhere, anywhere, I can't hold on much longer,"
"Wait, where, are you okay?"
"I'm tired and my body," I was passing out. I could feel it.
"ROSA!" I heard him call my name, I was kind of pissed but I knew it had to be serious and Michael had to be super worried. He knew how I hated to be called by my name. I told him where to meet me and drove faster. I had to ditch the car so when I knew I was close I got out and drove the car straight into a wall. The airbag helped but I still felt like s**t. I got out and wobbled over to the meetup location. I left the cellphone in the van so I hoped Michael would already be there. I could feel my mind drift and my eyes got heavy.
"Rosa, Rosa," I heard my mother call.
"Mama, where are you," I whispered. "Don't leave me." I felt myself collapse onto the ground.
Five minutes later,
"Rosa, wake up," I could hear him but I was too weak to talk. "Let's take her home."
"You're going to be okay doll," Jax said. "We will f**k up whoever did this to you." Michael lifted me up and carried me to his car. They laid me in the back seat and drove me home.
"Rosa,"
"Mama!" I felt the heat of the flames again. I was so scared. I was crying and screaming.
"PAPA!!"
"PAPA!!"
"NUNO!!!"
"SOMEONE HELP ME... HELP MAMA!!! PLEASE!!"
"Mama," I whispered. I didn't remember much after that. I woke up in my room and it was dark outside. I got up and went into my bathtub. I just let the hot water run. It burned at first but then it numbed me.
"Need help," Michael walked into the bathroom. I nodded slightly. My body was still weak and hard to move on my own. He went over and grabbed a sponge and added my favorite cherry blossom soap. Michael didn't say anything. I didn't want to either but my mind knew and had so much to say.
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM,"
"I know," Michael said. He finished washing me up and helped me out of the tub. He dried me off and got me dressed.
"Hungry,"
"Yeah, I can have some soup or something,"
"Okay,"
"Hey doll, so what's the plan?" Jax asked.
"Burn his warehouses to the ground,"
"Done,"
"And my safe house,"
"Why?"
"BURN IT DOWN!"
"Okay, okay, on it,"
