The Cartel of Veracruz
A Forced Marriage Secret Pregnancy ThrillerBy Beatriz Lozada
Length12h 30m
About this audiobook
My father testified against the Fuentes family in a federal courtroom in 2019. In 2023, I married the son.
The wedding was for the families. The marriage is for the truce. I walked into it knowing I was a public statement and not a wife, and I walked into it with something else nobody at the ranch knew — something that started in a hotel in Mexico City two months before the ceremony.
Emilio Fuentes takes over both families in March. In April, my father dies on a road in Culiacán. In May, I find a file in my nightstand that proves nothing about either of those things and everything about my mother's name.
I read it twice. I burned it in the kitchen fire in front of my husband and did not give him a single page.
A forced marriage, secret pregnancy cartel thriller — told between two winters.
