TW: Violence, mentions of death and shootings!

THE IDEA OF moving to Tijuana had never been Estella's plan, but now here she was packing all of her things in her Guadalajara apartment ready to leave her old simple life to live with Benjamín's large family mansion. Benjamín urged her to at least stay with them, even saying that she could of course sleep in her own room if she wanted to. Estella agreed, and although she would have her own room she knew that Benjamín's room, would probably become her bedroom in a matter of time.

They were taking things slow, as they had promised, but things were already heating up between the two after the wedding. Everything was going well, too well, and Estella wondered as if this was just brief calmness before the actual storm arrived to destroy everything.

She looked at her now empty Guadalajara apartment, realizing she was leaving a life of simplicity and her home. And entering back into the Narco world full of manipulation, danger, and terror. However, she had Benjamín now and told herself that this time around everything would go well. But of course, Estella was wrong, nothing in this world would ever be perfect.

"This is your room...hopefully you like it." Benjamín nervously said, showing Estella her large bedroom in the mansion. Estella sighed with a smile, placing down her suitcases and gently setting Molly down on a small fluffy nearby chair. She was anxious, not really understanding what they were. They flirted and acted like a couple, but Estella wasn't sure if Benjamín was ready for a relationship, and she didn't want to seem desperate.

"I do like it. It's very nice...thank you so much, Benjamín." Estella grinned, walking up to him, wrapping her arms around him. He pulled her waist closer to him and kissed her passionately.

"But you can always come to my room whenever you want." He whispered as Estella laughed, but soon his face turned to a serious one.

"Estella, I need to talk to you about something important." He let go of her waist and sat down on the bed that had elegant white silk sheets. Estella sat down next to him and looked at him with confusion. She was worried that something was wrong, and she wanted to know if something was irking him.

"Yes? Are you okay, Benjamín? Dime qué pasa." Estella leaned closer to him as he turned away as if it was something difficult to say.

"You know that coming back to this life means danger and all that, especially with enemies. And I know with everything that happened when you were with Miguel Ángel has made you paranoid so I don't want you involved in this business, I just want you to be safe Estella." Benjamín explained, causing Estella's face of concern to turn into one of disappointment. She turned away, trying her best not to make it obvious that she was kind of annoyed.
