Culiacán, Sinaloa. Thundering music and the scent of cheap liquor defined the club where she worked. Alejandro, already a man of quiet presence, asked for her recommendation. That was how a month-long affair began, ending only with his silent departure. Four years later, pregnant and alone, she tried to flee with Mateo, her son whose eyes were mirrors of Alejandro's, on a crowded bus. But Alejandro, furious at the absence, intercepted the vehicle. After a tense roadside argument where she accused him of wasting those years, he made his final choice. He brought them to his lavish ranch, showing a wide-eyed Mateo the horses and vintage cars, while assuring her, in a voice that brooked no argument, that they would be staying.
