I ran as fast as I could, chasing the freedom that was right at my fingertips. But you know what they say—the light at the end of the tunnel is only an oncoming train. For three long years, I’d been held captive, tortured, and used. Until one night, we ran for the hills and didn’t look back. I thought I was safe and sound, but the underbelly of crime knows no boundaries. Dragged before the most ruthless cartel boss in Mexico, whose vengeance burns hot in his blood, he takes away my newfound freedom until I divulge my one and only secret… But if I do, there’s no going back—my hands would be forever stained red, and forgiveness would remain an elusive dream.
