Ernesto POV
That day that I was kicking back with Emiliano, Chino and Beto everyone was partying and just chilling. Emiliano said that he wanted to go back to his house and kick back with Angel. When we got their Chino, Beto and me were sitting in the living room and he went to his room and after awhile I could hear Angel screaming. The door swung open and Emiliano was dragging Angel on the floor by her hair and she was crying and screaming scratching at his hands and I was like what the f**k Emiliano! I was f*****g mad and I stood up trying to get Emiliano to let her go and I told him that is no way to treat his woman. Emiliano told me that if I had a problem with it then I could f*****g leave. I left and I could not understand why I was even friends with a f*****g dog like that. Chino and Beto stayed behind and I looked at them and they had a funny look on their face, and I was not sure why, but I had a bad feeling about it. Angel was so beautiful, and I thought that Emiliano was f*****g lucky to have a woman like her, but he treated her like s**t. He was verbally abusive to her as I had never seen him hit her until what he did tonight. I don’t know why she stayed with him and I would ask her when we were alone that why doesn’t she leave him, and she would just say that she can’t. I don’t know if its because she loved him or because maybe he was already hitting her behind closed doors.
My name is Ernesto Estrada, I am 30 years old, and my family is with the Mexican Cartel. My papa Alejandro Estrada is one of the main shot callers and his word is law no matter what. I am heir to this family and once my papa steps down I will be filling those shoes. No one knows our connections and we prefer to keep it that way. The less people that know the less problems we have. Both my papa and I are one and the same we are both ruthless killers and my papa taught me to deal with a heavy hand but to always keep my head leveled in business. He raised me to always respect women and to never lay my hand to them ever. I have connections that stretch clear across the United States, and in Mexico. I have many people working under me already and after what I saw what Emiliano did to Angel, I wanted to kill him! Emiliano, Chino or Beto don’t know my involvement with the Mexican Cartel. They think that they are tough s**t because they run around with their little f*****g gangs making s**t change by selling drugs that have been cut so many f*****g times.
In my family I was raised by strong parents and my father was a strong man and he instilled morals and values into me. He taught me that you always respect your woman no matter what and that any man that hits a woman is no man but a coward! If Angel was mine, I would treat her like the queen she deserves to be. It breaks my heart the way that Emiliano treats Angel. I hear my phone ringing and I look at the caller ID and I see that it is my papa calling and I answer my phone and I said hey papa how are you doing? He asks if I am doing ok and I told him not really and he said what is wrong mijo (son) and I told him that if I can go by and talk with him and he said of course. I told him okay I will be by right now, and I hung up. I arrived at my parents’ home 30 minutes later and I went into the living room and my papa was sitting on the chair with a tumbler of tequila and he asked me if I wanted something to drink and I told him yes please. He got up and made me a drink and then took his seat once again. I sat across from him and he asked okay what is going on. I told him all about Angel and then what happened earlier tonight, and he said that why am I hanging with a piece of s**t like that? He was angry and he said that if I hang with people like that then other people will assume that I am the same way. I was angry, and I told him that I am nothing like him and he said Ernesto it doesn’t matter and that he knows that I am nothing like that but still people will have their own opinions anyways. My father then told me that if he ever hears that I am behaving like that with a woman then he would personally beat me himself. I believe my father and his word is never to be taken as a bluff. He asked me how do I feel about Angel and I just sat there with a smile on my face and I told him that she lives up to her name and that she is so beautiful and I really care about her. He asked me is it enough to want to take her from another man though. I looked at him straight in the eye and with such a strong conviction I said yes! He said okay and he said that he will do whatever he needs to do to help me get her out of that situation then.
