The Revenge of Rosalinda
For long enough, she has put up with it. But now, she has a plan to make things right.
"Rosalinda!," yelled the lady of the house as she made her way into the kitchen. It was 10 in the morning, and she wanted her breakfast by the pool today.
But when she stepped into the kitchen, she only saw her husband making his own coffee. That's when he told her that he had fired her.
"Why?," she asked surprised.
"Because of her incompetence. She was useless anyways. Didn't like her from the start."
Rosalinda had only been working with them for 3 months. And he did fire her late last night. But not because she was incompetent or useless; that's what he told his wife. He fired her because she didn't give into his sexual behavior and comments. He was a very successful doctor and thought that because he had money, he could get whatever and whoever he wanted. For him it was all about that. He was married for 10 years, but even before that he was already cheating on her.
"Well, that's a shame. Who's going to prepare dinner tonight?," asked the wife very worried with her robe on, "My girlfriends are coming tonight. It's my turn to host."
"Just order something. It's not a big deal," then he grabbed his coffee and made his way to the door, "I gotta go. Oh, and by the way, I have a business trip, so I won't be here for the weekend." He didn't even give her a goodbye kiss, he just shut the door and left.
Rosalinda was crying as soon as she stepped out of the house. She held herself from crying in front of him. She came from a poor family and really needed the job, but one thing she learned from her family was to never let anybody treat her like that. So as soon as she shut the door, the tears started coming down her cheek. She cried all the way home. She was the pillar in her house; her family depended on her. And even though she didn't know what she was going to do now, she knew she had made the right decision.
Luckily for her, a friend of the family was working as a cleaning lady in a motel, and they needed some help. It was nothing near to what she was paid for, but it was a job. And she needed one desperately. So, she started the next day.
When she showed up, the motel owner, an old man with a huge belly and a heavy accent, told her that she was needed at his cousin's hotel in another part of town. Today that's where she was going to work. So, with the address of the place, she got in her car and drove there.
The hotel was in a better area and in much better shape than the motel. It was bigger, fancier, and she liked it very much. But she knew that her stay there would only be for a day anyways. As soon as she arrived, she was given the instructions for the day. She had to clean all the rooms in floors 3 to 5. Whatever she had to do, she was going to do. So, she started her day with a smile on her face.
Just the night before, a shiny brand-new black Mercedes pulled up to the driveway of the hotel. When the lobby man opened the driver's door, an old man stepped out in a black business suit, gold cuff links, and shiny shoes. It was the doctor. He looked rich, but he didn't even thank the lobby man. He just threw his key at him and told them that his baggage was in the trunk. The lobby man was used to those types of clients; rich and assholes. But it was his job, so he didn't care much.
The doctor got inside and went straight to the elevators. Then he made his way up in the elevator and got off on the 5th floor. He walked up to room 503 and knocked twice. A few seconds after, somebody opened the door and he got inside. Just before he closed the door, he placed the door hanger with the "Do Not Disturb" side showing.
That morning, Rosalinda decided to start at the 5th floor. On her way up, a family was leaving their room; they were a few rooms down where the doctor was. A kid around 8 years old was running around the hall and playing with anything he could. That's when he saw the door sign hanging and turn it around. Now the 'Clean Now Please' side was showing on room 503.
When the elevator had arrived, the parents called the kid, so he came running towards them. And as the elevator doors opened, they saw the cleaning lady there. Rosalinda greeted them and made her wait out pushing her cleaning cart full of supplies just as they went in. Then she saw the long hallway with all the rooms that needed to be clean and started with the first room that needed service; it was room 503.
As soon as she walked in, she felt a strong stench of smoke, alcohol, and sex. And as she kept on going, she saw there were empty liquor bottles, clothes, and condom wrappers all over the floor. Whoever was staying there, seemed like they had a crazy party. That's when she looked up and saw two naked girls on the bed with a nasty old man that was naked as well. Her first reaction was to leave immediately, but right before she did, she recognized him.
It was the man that fired her; the doctor who wanted to have something sexual with her. She was standing in front of the bed looking at the three naked bodies in between the sheets. They were so passed out; they didn't even notice somebody had come in. And right there and then, she made another decision. She pulled out her phone and took a picture of what she saw. It was her revenge. Then she left the room, got her cleaning cart, and continue with her job.
That same night, she was just finished creating a fake social media profile when she uploaded the picture she had taken, then typed something and clicked a button releasing it to the whole world. It only took one hour for the picture to become viral. He was an important doctor and got caught cheating on his wife with some prostitutes he had paid. The doctor's sex scandal was all over the news. It ruined his career as all hospitals, institutions, and associations that he was part of, had ban him. Nobody wanted to work with him. And what made people think the most, was what Rosalinda had type as the caption of the picture.
'If he does this to his wife, imagine what he could do to you.'
