CHAPTER SEVEN
My head hurts, and my ears are ringing, the cloth bag is gone. My body is completely naked. I look around, but I can barely see anything. I think I’m in the back of a moving car. The moving vehicle hits a bump in the road.
Before I can I get a word, I heard someone say ouch.
“Teresa? Is that you?” I whispered.
“Isabella?” Teresa said. “What the hell is going on? Why are we in the back of a car.”
“I don’t know, but I bet it’s because of Ricardo and Cameron.”
The tires come to a screeching halt. I hear the doors open and slam on both. I hear feet walking to the back of the car. The trunk opens. Two men are looking down at Teresa and me. Well, not necessarily at us but our exposed bodies.
I spit up at one of them, “Pervert!”
He wiped his face. He yanked me up by the cuffs on my hands. The other man grabbed Teresa by her cuffs and lifted her out of the car.

“What happened to my baby?” Mama walked into the room.“Maria, the doctor said she might have brain damage. She went for about 3 minutes without air.” Ricardo said.“What did you do to my baby? She was happy who did this?”“Cameron paid Pablo to kill Teresa and Isabella. He raped them along with ten other people.”“Where is he? I’ll kill him for this. Where is Teresita?”“Isabella already killed them. Teresa is home with Chino. She can’t stand to see Bella like this, and to be honest, neither can I.”“So what about Cameron, is she dead yet?”“Not yet?“I’m gonna kill that little bitch.”“Not if I kill her first.”“I don’t know why you married her. She’s a crazy bitch.”“You left me, I had to move on.”“I left because you were an

Isabella, get up!” my mother shook me awake. “Mami que pasa? What’s going on?” I sat up straining to see in the darkness. “He’s coming for you, Mariposa, you have to run.” “Mami, where am I going to go? There is nowhere to hide in Mexico from Don Ricardo. He’ll kill me.”“You have to go to the United States.” “I’m not going to leave you. There is nothing in the states for me.” “You have to go there’s an underground tunnel. You can go through it. Your Aunt Rosita and your cousin Reina will be there waiting for you.” “Mami, no will stay. I’ll talk, Don Ricardo; I’ll make a deal or something.” I started to cry. “Oh, mi hija, don’t cry. It’ll be fine. Go to the truck stop at the fruit market. Just run and don’t look back, don’t stop for anything.” My mother held my face in her hands. A tear fell down her cheek. She kissed my forehead, “Go! Mi hija, go!” I got up and rushed to the door, nothing on my feet but socks. I looked at my mother from the doorway. She was trying to stifle

Teresa and I have been to Javier’s house for eight months. Javier left to go on a business trip or something. I was laying in my bed when I felt a hand go over my mouth. “Tie her down!” A woman’s voice said. My legs were tied down. A woman held my arms above my head, and a cloth was placed in my mouth, and I was slapped across my face. “This puta thinks she’s all high and mighty because she's with the boss. Let’s teach her a lesson.” A heavily built man walked in. His muscles shined in the light. He got undressed and walks over to me. I tried to move away, but the woman had a tight grip. I screamed, but my screams were muffled by the cloth in my mouth. I tried to push it out with my tongue; all it did was make me gag. He climbed on top of the bed. He pushed himself into me. I screamed louder it was still muffled by the cloth in my mouth. I tried to push it out again. It came out. I breathed in and screamed at the top of my lungs. “Shut her up, Chino is still here.” The woman at

I walked up to the door. I stood there for a moment. My hand was inches away from the door. I took a breath. Just before I knocked on the door, it opened. Reina was standing there. She looked at me. Her eyes were puffy as if she had been crying. “Isabella!” She hugged me. “Where have been?” I hugged her back. This unusual behavior for Reina. She is usually very mean to me. “Is everything okay?” I asked. Isabella?! Is that you?” “Mama!” Mama ran to the door and hugged me. “My beautiful mariposa. Where have you been? We’ve been worried sick and your Tia Rosita, God bless her soul.” I watched as her hands went shoulder to shoulder and from her forehead to the center of her chest. “God bless her soul. Mama did Tia Rosie, did she?” I felt a huge lump in my throat. I tried to speak, but I couldn’t.Mama pulled me into a hug. She looked past me.“Whose car is that?” Mama asked. “My husbands’ car.” “Husband mi hija. Your only twenty-one and you are married. Did you marry some gring

I felt a hand go over my mouth. I opened my eyes. It was the man from the other night. He climbed on top of me. His fingers were inside of me. “No!” I screamed. “Please!”“Isabella.” Javier shook me awake. “What happened?”I sat there, sweat beading up on my forehead. I felt out of breath Javier gently took my hand. “It’s alright, mi amor. I’ll protect you.” He wrapped his arms around me. “Would you like to soak in a bath, my love?” “No.”“Okay.” “Javier?” “Yes?” “Do you love me?” “Of course, I do.” “Make love to me.” “But you said “ “Forget what I said, listen to what I’m saying now.” “Bella.” “Javier, I love you, and that man took what was yours. You are my husband. My body belongs to you. Please, I take what I said back. “ “Why are you so desperate for this.” “Because it hurts. Every time I close my eyes, I see him on top of me.” Tears ran down my cheek. “I know.” He held me.“Please just do this for me.” “It won’t make you feel any better.”“It has to make it b

I tossed and turned in the bed. My mind passing through images of those men on the ground, the helpless looks on Teresa’s face. The look on Javier’s face. I cried into my pillow. I hated myself, I hated all those men, but mostly I hate Cameron. She did this to us. She hurt my sister.I sat up and walked downstairs.I heard Ricardo shout, “They are safer here.”“Safe? They were kidnapped because of you and Carmen.” Javier said“I had no part in this. This was all Cameron’s doing.”“So, all of a sudden, you care about your kids?”“I have always cared about my kids.”“Then why have you sent people to kill them?”“It wasn’t me. I sent people to bring them to me?”“So, they just decided to kill them instead?”I walked into the room. “It was Mateo.”Javier stood up. “Isabella.”I looked away from him and sat down.Javier looked at me. “I’m sorry, Isabella.”He reached out to touch me. I pushed his hand away. He was just as bad as Pablo. Sending women out to have sex with random men. World-c

M“She is mine, she belongs to me.” Don Ricardo yelled across the table. Well, there goes having a nice breakfast. Can’t ever have anything nice with these two around. I wish they would go back to Zamora. “She is my wife, Ricardo,” Javier said, annoyed. He’d rather be anywhere else in the world than having this conversation, “She was my daughter first! She belongs to me.” Ricardo said. “That means absolutely nothing. You wanted nothing to do with me besides killing me, what the hell do you want now.” I said. “I want both or my daughters to be with me.” “For what, all of Zamora knows who we are and what you have done. You think having us with you will get you another year in the office.” “No,” Ricardo says, “That’s exactly what you plan to do. It will never happen.” “Isabella Maria Valéz Rodríguez, you and your sister will return to Zamora, The doorbell rang. I stood up and walked away to the door.

I rolled over and faced Javier, who was snoring obnoxiously loud. I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. But despite my desperate trying, I couldn’t.“Javier.” I shook him. “Javier.”“¿Qué Pasa? Huh?” He sat up abruptly.“Your snoring is interrupting my sleep.”“Oh, I’m sorry.”“It’s fine.”“Ugh.” He moaned. “what time is it.”“It’s ten am.”“Shit, I’m late.” He got up.“Do you want me to make breakfast?”“No stay in bed, I’ll make breakfast when I get out of the shower. Would you like to join me?”“No thanks, I think I just close my eyes for a little bit more.”“Okay.” He kissed my forehead and headed and headed into the bathroom.I laid back down and put the covers over my head. Not even five minutes later, the door opens. I am pulled from the bed by my ankles. A cloth bag is placed over my head.“Javier!” I screamed.I heard something crash
