The mistress reveals the life of Mexico's top drug lord: He only cares about women's breasts and has a quirk

There is nothing in the world that does not exist, only things you cannot imagine.

In the 1990s in Colombia, "It's better to marry well than to work well" was almost a belief engraved in every girl's bones. Parents carefully protected their daughters' looks from an early age, fearing that their beauty would be destroyed by the wind and the sun. This almost distorted aesthetic concept made many families focus on grooming and socializing when raising their daughters, rather than education and career.

Although Guzman, 19, has embarked on the path of modeling, she was not immune to the vulgarity of her upbringing. From childhood to adulthood, she has been exposed to stories of "marrying into a wealthy family". Neighbors always talk about a girl who was favored by a wealthy businessman because of her beauty and lived a life of ease and comfort.

At that time, Vilela was already the most powerful drug lord in Colombia. His transformation from a drug enforcement policeman to the ruler of a drug empire was dramatic. When he saw a photo of Guzman in a fashion magazine, this tycoon, who had seen countless people, seemed to be moved by her pure temperament.

Vilela did not act roughly like he did with other prey. He knew that to capture the heart of such a supermodel, he needed a more elaborate plan. He first secretly collected all the information about Guzman, and learned about her preferences, itinerary, and even the cafes she often visited.

Vilela deliberately created a "chance encounter". He pretended to be a successful rancher, well-mannered and elegant. When they first met, he gave Guzman a valuable Rolex watch. This carefully selected gift just hit the young girl's vanity.

Guzman was touched by the generosity and gentleness of this "successful man". When Vilela invited her to meet him for the second time, she gladly agreed. This time, she was surprised again with a Cartier watch. However, fate seemed to want to give this young girl a warning. She accidentally saw Vilela's wanted poster in the newspaper and realized the true identity of this "rancher".

But Vilela didn't care about his identity being exposed. He intensified his pursuit, and sent luxury cars, jewelry, and real estate to Guzman one after another. Faced with these gifts that were enough to make any girl dizzy, Guzman fell into a painful struggle. Reason told her to stay away from this dangerous man, but the vanity deep in her heart kept urging her to accept.

In this way, the 19-year-old supermodel willingly walked into the trap carefully set by the drug lord.

In the first few months of becoming Vilela's mistress, Guzman was immersed in luxury. Every day when she woke up, she was waiting for countless brand-name clothes, jewelry, and servants who were always on call. This dazzling material life made her forget her fear of being a drug lord.

Vilela soon revealed his true colors. This seemingly elegant man was actually an extreme control freak. He began to gradually tighten his control over Guzman, prohibiting her from participating in any social events attended by men, and even not allowing her to take simple photos.

Every move of Guzman was under Vilela's surveillance. Her phone was tapped, her whereabouts were tracked, and even her conversations with the salesperson in the mall were reported to Vilela word for word. This ubiquitous surveillance made her feel suffocated. Her once glamorous modeling career ended completely under Vilela's mandatory requirements.

What made Guzman even more unacceptable was that Vilela had another quirk, which was his obsession with women's bodies. He only paid attention to women's busts. In his eyes, women were just works of art that could be shaped at will. When he was not satisfied with Guzman's figure, he arranged plastic surgery without saying a word. He did not ask her wishes, nor did he care about the risks that the surgery might bring. Guzman had to endure the pain of the surgery and watched himself become what Vilela thought was "perfect".

Villala forced Guzmán to participate in the beauty pageant not to allow her to return to the stage, but to ask her to help find a new mistress.

At the beauty pageant, Guzman witnessed how Vilela used the same method to seduce other young girls. The shining gifts and gentle words were his tried and tested tactics to seduce other young girls. However, she could not show any dissatisfaction and could only force herself to smile and cooperate with this absurd drama.

Guzman gradually realized that she was just one of Villeras's many "collections". He had countless lovers, and he used the same method on each of them: conquering them with money first, and then controlling them with violence. This cruel fact made her realize how naive she was at the beginning, and she actually thought that drug lords could have true love.

Day after day of imprisonment gradually distorted Guzman's psychology. She began to doubt her own value and whether there was still true love in the world. The golden cage carefully built by Vilela left her with nowhere to escape. The most painful thing was that she knew there were countless girls like her out there who were being tempted by the wealth of drug lords and were about to face the same fate.

After years of suffering in the golden cage, Guzman's psychological defenses finally collapsed. She longed for a sincere relationship to heal her scarred heart. Although Vilela's surveillance was everywhere, she still decided to take the risk to find her own love.

Finally one day, she met a boy who moved her heart. The boy did not have any extravagant gifts, but his sincerity moved Guzman, who had long been tired of material things. She knew the consequences of doing so, but still chose to take the risk.

Vilela soon discovered Guzman's "betrayal". As a person with a strong desire for control, he could not tolerate his "property" being touched by others. Instead of executing Guzman immediately, he chose a more cruel punishment - letting his men shoot her in the thigh.

The moment the bullet penetrated her flesh, Guzman felt not only the severe pain in her body, but also the despair in her heart. Blood soaked her skirt, but she dared not scream. She knew that this bullet was a warning from Vilela, and the next one might be a fatal blow.

During her treatment in the hospital, Guzman lived in great fear. She didn't know whether the gunshot wound would affect her ability to walk in the future, and she didn't know whether she would have a future. Every night, she would be awakened by nightmares, in which she would see Villera's cold eyes and the black muzzle of a gun.

Guzman lay in bed, thinking back to her experiences over the years. She finally understood that the so-called "love" that Vilela gave her was nothing but a carefully designed trap. Behind those expensive gifts was naked control and threats. Her patience and compromise over the years only brought her deeper despair.

The news of Villera's death came suddenly but was expected. This drug lord with a strong desire for control finally died at the hands of his most trusted deputy. Years of suspicion and tyranny had already caused undercurrents within his empire. After a fierce internal fight, the once invincible drug lord fell down.

In an interview with the media, Guzman finally took off all his disguises and described in detail the dual personality of Vilela: he could change from the closest lover to the most terrible enemy in a second; he could give women the most luxurious material life, but deprive them of the most basic human dignity; he said the most sweet words, but was always ready to strike the most fatal blow.

Unlike other drug lord mistresses who chose to remain anonymous, Guzman chose to bravely stand up and tell her story. She hopes that through her story, she can awaken those young girls who are still confused by the wealth of drug lords. She wants to tell them what kind of sin and blood are hidden behind those shining diamonds and expensive sports cars.

"I don't want anyone to repeat my mistakes," Guzman said at the end of the interview. She hopes her experience can serve as a mirror for young girls who are deceived by the wealth of drug lords to see the truth. Money can't buy true happiness, and violence can't breed true love.

This woman who was once imprisoned in a golden cage finally regained her life. Her story will always serve as a warning to those young souls who pursue illusory wealth: all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price. And the "gift" from the drug lord often requires a lifetime to repay.
