Episode 4

Javier placed his hand on Paola's chin, exerting a lot of force. He wanted to kill her with his own hands.

"You had something to do with everything that happened to Catalina." Javier affirmed, gritting his teeth.

The coldness with which Paola looked at her now-husband was impressive... Without taking her eyes off him, Paola confirmed that he was right.

"This is just to show you how far my power reaches. It will be nothing compared to what I will do to her if she crosses my path again."

"Warn that bitch to stay away from you and me. Or, I will have no compassion for her."

Javier released his hand from Paola's chin, raising it with the intention of slapping his wife.

Paola didn't show an ounce of fear. She was worse than I imagined.

"Go ahead, lay a hand on me and I'll tell your parents everything."

"I have nothing to lose, in my arms I have the ticket to the Zamora fortune, I can live like a queen for the rest of my life."

"But you, no; darling."

"All the loyalty your parents have had to you so far would be over."

"You think you can threaten me?!"

"You're nothing but a slut! How dare you threaten me" Javier lost control of himself.

Every day that passed, the man became more manageable, Paola had control over his weaknesses. The same way she once had it with me.

"I'm going to tell the bastard that she is the sole heir to the companies and the entire Zamora fortune."

"I will also tell them that you were able to put an innocent man in jail, just to keep his wife and daughter!"

"In the eyes of the world, I will be a victim of a wicked man, who took advantage of his power and wealth to take everything from a working man."

Javier slowly lowered his hand, clenched his fist, and without another word left Paola's room.

Left alone, Paola looked at the child with hatred, if she was not happy as she wanted, no one would be.

...The days began to advance, quickly. Two years have passed since I was locked up....

Every day I train within these four walls. My fighting skills are good.

I trained every day, with the desire for revenge. I have learned many things inside this damn jail.

I resumed my studies. I helped in the kitchen and in the infirmary.

I do everything with the intention of being able to get out of these four walls soon. However, my good behavior has been of no use.

Javier Zamora's power is above the law, or rather, above me.

I am just a poor devil, who does not have the power of having a surname of nobility.

My sentence in this prison increased considerably. Overnight, a corrupt judge gave me a sentence of more than 40 years.

I couldn't believe it. My destiny was to be locked up in these four walls for the rest of my life.

I could not resign myself to being locked up for a crime I did not commit. Even so, I did not give up.

I have heard so many stories, some are innocent and many others are the worst human beings. The worst thing is that most die within these walls.

My life in prison had changed too much, I became friends with the mobster's son.

We got several similar tattoos, as proof of our friendship. Every day I earn his trust, that was good for me.

Since, having a friend with so much power will be beneficial, for a simple man like me.

"Lorenzo Cordoba, you have a visitor." The man next to me looks at me relaxed, cigarette smoke coming out of his nose.

"Not only do we have the same name. But we have many things in common."

I didn't understand what he was saying, but he smiled anyway.

Lorenzo smokes his seventh cigarette, I see him enjoy a life full of luxuries, despite having been locked up in this prison for two years.

"I'm close to being released. A judge has granted my transfer to a maximum security prison. It won't be long until I return to my life as King."

I didn't say anything, I just watched him in silence. It was my chance to escape with my namesake. I'm not going to stay locked up here all my life.

The days kept passing. Everything was ready to be transferred to a high security prison.

By Javier's orders, it was time for me to be killed. I could find no other explanation. They took me out handcuffed and shackled, I kept my head looking at the floor.

Two or three policemen took me out before Lorenzo Cordoba. They put me in one of the armored vans, and then Lorenzo and two other men got in.

They kept me hunched over the whole way. Lorenzo Cordoba was trying to communicate with another inmate.

Halfway there, the shooting started. They kept us there for several minutes.

One of the guards pointed his gun at Lorenzo Cordoba.

"You're not getting out of here alive."

He takes the safety off his gun. I couldn't let Lorenzo Cordoba be murdered. He was my ticket to freedom.

Using what I learned, I kick the guard. The man falls to the floor of the van, and Lorenzo takes advantage of the distraction.

He kills the man in front of me, we look into each other's eyes for a short moment. Suddenly, everything becomes confusing.

The inmate to Lorenzo Cordoba's right takes the keys from the guard. He helped Lorenzo remove the shackles from his hands and feet.

Everything was so fast and confusing, Lorenzo Cordoba shoots me in the chest, without any mercy.

Everything around me is chaos, screams, gunshots are heard. I watched the man who shot me get out of the van.

Two years in prison, fighting for revenge and ending like this. It is not fair!
