I've been working for Lady Dimitrescu since I was 30, I'm now 37. Since then I've noticed, slowly but surely, my tasks have became less and simpler. Lately, I've been really wondering why that is so today is the day I ask Lady Dimitrescu herself. 

     I made my way to her chambers, stopping in front of her door. I took a deep breath, in and out, before knocking. "Come in." Lady Dimitrescu's voice said. I went inside noticing Lady Dimitrescu is in a white nightgown with a sheer robe over. "What did you want?" Lady Dimitrescu asked in a cold tone awaiting my reply. 

     I looked up at her. "My lady, I was wondering, my tasks have become less and simpler and I was wondering why that is." I say. "Because, my dear, I own you." Lady Dimitrescu states, smirking. 

     Owns? Me? "My lady, what do you mean?" I ask nervously. "I own you. You are mine and mine alone." She says. What? "My lady, why me?" I ask, confused. "Because, dear, you are beautiful. I know you may not see it but you are. I've heard others, and yourself, call you fat, ugly, etc. which happens to be why the only maiden currently left is you." Lady Dimitrescu finishes her explanation. 

     "Yo-You think I'm beautiful?" I ask shyly. Lady Dimitrescu kneels down and says," Yes, I do. I always have. I always will. Your scars, stretch marks, acne, chub, eyes, nose, lips, hands, and more, are so beautiful." I begin to tear up. "What's even more beautiful is your personality. Your ability to empathize and understand others." She says, pulling me in for a hug. I hug back.

     "For now on, you'll be known as Mrs. Dimitrescu." Lady Dimitrescu says, smiling down at me. "And when in the bedroom, call me Mistress. You can also call me Mistress when alone, that however is up to you. When around our daughters, or company, call me Alcina. You can also call me Alcina whenever unless we're having sex. Is that alright with you?" Lady Dimitrescu questions. "Yes, that's alright with me. Wait- did you say 'our' daughters?" I replied surprised. Alcina chuckles and nods. "Indeed I did." She says smiling. 

     After a few moments still being in each others embrace, her daughters buzzed in. "Mother, we're sorry for not knocking but we couldn't help but overhear your conversation." Bela says. Lady Dimitrescu smiles before saying,"It's alright, Bela. Next time, please knock." All three women nod. Alcina continued,"And yes, Ronnie and I are together. I'm sure since you happened to overhear, you know all of what was said." The sisters don't do anything. Probably thinking. 

     After a few moments, I whisper to Lady Dimitrescu that I'm sleepy. She then tells her daughters that this conversation will continue in the morning. The three nod and buzz off. Lady Dimitrescu helps me change into sleepwear before turning off the light and tucking us both in, where we fell asleep in each other's embrace.
