Create my version of this story
I am the ex-wife of a crime lord.
At least thatās what the tabloids would say if they ever found out who I used to be married to.
That part is true, but the story goes much deeper, and itās not something Iām proud of, which is why I donāt want my son growing up surrounded by any of that.
My husband was a criminal, but he wasnāt always that way.
And when he became one, I turned a blind eye to everything he did.
Until the day he started hitting me.
That was the day I knew I had to leave him.
It was either that or die at his hand.
I loved him once, but love can turn into hate just as easily, especially when youāre on the receiving end of fists.
We had a child together and that made leaving him harder, but it also made it easier because I knew if I stayed, he would start hitting Carlos too, and I couldnāt let that happen.
Carlos is all that matters to me.
I left my ex-husband three years ago and we havenāt seen him since.
That is until three days ago, when he came back with a vengeance.
Carlos was taken right out from under my nose.
I thought he was safe at school, but instead of coming home on the bus like he was supposed to do, he disappeared without a trace.
I knew who took him, and I went looking for help, even though my pride told me not to go to the cops since they would never believe me if I told them who took my son.
I was desperate, so I went anyway.
I didnāt have any other choice.
I needed help finding my son before his father could get to him first.
My ex-husband made it clear if I ever left him, he would take our son away from me and I would never see either of them again.
Carlos has been missing for three days now and Iām afraid for his safety.
I know what my ex-husband is capable of and heās not above killing our child to get back at me for leaving him.
I donāt even want to imagine what Carlos is going through right now.
I already know heās been taken out of the country and brought to Mexico by his fatherās men.
Theyāre heading back there as we speak because itās a place where no one will look for them, except for me.
Iāve tried everything I could think of to find my son and bring him home safely, including doing something stupid.
It was a move born of desperation and fear, and now itās coming back to bite me in the ass.
I know I should have gone along with Thompsonās plan from the beginning, but I didnāt want to stay behind while he went off to save my son on his own either.
