The Fake Cartel Wife
My tears drop on the diamonds already stained with my blood. His thumb strokes my cheek and removes a strand of my disheveled hair.
-It's okay, Pea. It's over.
His lips find mine. His kiss is soft at first, to comfort me. Then it gets more intense, possessive. Our eyes meet. His are burning.
-I will never let anyone hurt you again. I promise. You are mine and mine only, Cassiopea Medina.

She gets an unexpected offer from the boss of the local cartel. To get married to him and be the stepmother of his three sons. The twist? He already has a lover.
How will the life of a cartel leader's wife treat Cassiopea?

Author's notes
The story is written with the first-person POV of a young 19-year-old woman. I tried my best not to let my (older) brain made her sound too mature for her age...
There are scenes of violence, death, domestic abuse, alcoholism and sexual content, please be advised. In chapters with * there will be mature content.
Also, I had a hard time choosing the male lead character... At the end, the story flow and the characters decided for me. So, if you are up for a little game, try finding this ML before he reveals himself!
Finally, English is not my native language. I'm sorry if you find grammatical mistakes. Don't hesitate to let me know!
