Chapter 240: A Princess In Trouble
Immediately after Alex had taken his rival back to the Zetas headquarters as a prisoner for La Madre, he was rewarded for his efforts. There was not much that the Drug Queen could offer the man, as he was already a billionaire, but a night full of drugs and sex with local beautiful women was good enough.
And while Alex partied with the locals of Neuvo Laredo, Isabella was still under house arrest. However, she received a surprise visit from her father. The Leader of the Jalisco Cartel, and the man was in a particularly foul mood. After all, he received a video from his biggest rival, showing that his son and heir were now being held prisoner.
This put the Jalisco Cartel in a dangerous situation. At the moment Mexico was undergoing a metamorphosis, two of the biggest and most powerful cartels had either collapsed or were in the process of collapsing. Leaving only two other major players, both of which intended to cannibalize those who had fallen.
Currently, Los Zetas walked away with the majority of the gains from the Gulf Cartel. And because of this, the criminal syndicate that was previously itself starting to collapse, had not only made a full recovery, but expanded to the point of contending with Jalisco in a direct conflict.
And because of this, Jalisco was preparing for war with the Zetas. The intention was to send their Prince and his best soldiers to take out several key strongholds of the Zetas while the bulk of their forces were seizing Sinaloa ground. But this backfired spectacularly when the man in charge of the Jalisco attacks found himself captured by the enemy before he could do any damage.
How this had happened, or why, Roberto Ramirez did not know. But he suspected it had something to do with his daughter, and because of this he forced himself into the young woman’s room while she was crying alone.
Immediately Isabella ceased her self-pity party and bowed respectfully to her father as if he were a king.
“Father… I was not expecting your arrival…”
“Your brother has been captured by the Zetas, and I suspect that bitch and her dog are responsible for it. I don’t know how they lured your brother away from his men and captured him, but I have a feeling the two of you are hiding information from me. I want to know right now everything that went on between you and this gringo! If you dare hold anything back, I will not be merciful, even if you are my own flesh and blood!”
If it was at all possible for Isabella’s complexion to turn pale, it had suddenly done so. She may be terrified of her elder half-brother, but their father was the real monster. And because of this, she was quick to spill everything that she had done to Alex, and everything that had caused Angel to become envious of the man.
By the end of it, Roberto had a cold look on his face, which was the telltale sign that he was about to become violent. And sure enough, a backhand came out of nowhere, smacking Isabella across the face so hard her lip became bloody. And the scream that followed was the verbal thrashing of a lifetime.
“You useless fucking whore! Not only do you bring this gringo dog into our home, but you would even seduce your own blood brother? Now it all makes sense! Angel rushed deep into Zetas’ territory to kill this gringo who he sees as a rival in love. I should have you beheaded right now! But… I won’t… At least not until I have saved your brother…”
Despite Isabella being a victim of Angel’s own incestuous fantasies, which compelled him to prove he was superior to Alex. Her father treated her as if she were a witch who had seduced her own brother. Of course, she did not dare speak back to the man, or he might genuinely cut off her head then and there. Thus, she simply lowered her pretty little head and remained silent. Hoping that Alex would somehow find out about her circumstances and save her from her cruel fate.
The man, of course, had no idea what was going on with Isabella at the moment because he was neck deep in tequila, cocaine, and Mexican pussy. But Isabella’s friend “Redacted” knew all too well what was happening. And was recording it via the cameras that were installed in the Mexican drug princess’s room in an attempt to monitor her at all times.
Thus, Redacted compiled all the evidence, and sent it to Alex. But when he did not respond Redacted started to become desperate, and thus after thinking it over for a few moments she sent the information to the one other person she knew who might be able to help Isabella at this time.

Carmen was resting in her room. After the death of her partner, and her meeting with La Madre who was the culprit, she had been rather rattled by the whole experience. She had actually flown back to Texas to attend the funeral of her partner, and though she was given paid time off for bereavement. Ultimately, Carmen decided to stay focused on the job and thus took the next flight back to Mexico City.
Currently, she had a bottle of tequila in one hand which she drank from directly, and a cigarette in the other as she went over the case files she had on hand. Though the Zetas were responsible for her partner’s death, and the reason being was the sensitive information about this “El Cucuy’s” identity. The higher ups at the DEA had changed her target to Jalisco.
There was only one reason this had happened, and Carmen knew why it was. Corruption in the US government. She should be following every lead to bring down La Madre, and her newest psychopathic murderer, but instead she was being led on a trail towards the other group of homicidal maniacs most well-known south of the border.
Why was this? Diana’s influence, or should I say the influence that Diana had over US Politicians due to her vast wealth, and political connections. Because of this, Carmen was in a state of despair. That is until she received an email from an anonymous user containing information about the ongoing internal drama at the Jalisco Headquarters.
The email did not just contain a file with the evidence of Isabella’s mistreatment, but also a line of text from the sender.
“Help me save Isabella, and I will give you everything you need to bring down La Madre…”
