Download or read book Loving Pablo Hating Escobar written by Virginia Vallejo and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a major motion picture! Pablo Escobar was one of the most terrifying criminal minds of the last century. In the decade before his death in 1993, he reigned as the head of a multinational cocaine industry and brought the Colombian state to its knees, killing thousands of politicians, media personalities, police, and unarmed citizens. In the 1980s, Virginia Vallejo was Colombia’s most famous television celebrity: a top-rated anchorwoman and a twice-divorced socialite who had been courted by the country’s four wealthiest men. In 1982, she interviewed Pablo Escobar on her news program, and soon after, they began a discreet—albeit stormy—romantic relationship. During their five-year affair, Escobar would show Vallejo the vulnerability of presidents, senators, and military leaders seeking to profit from the drug trade. From Vallejo’s privileged perspective and her ability to navigate the global corridors of wealth and high society, Escobar gained the insight to master his manipulation ofColombia’s powerful elite and media. Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar chronicles the birth of Colombia’s drug cartels: the kidnappers, the guerilla groups, and the paramilitary organizations. It is, above everything, a great love story—a deep and painful journeythrough a forbidden relationship—that gives us an intimate vision of thelegendary drug baron who left his mark on Colombia, Latin America, the United States, and the world forever.

Rather than let me expose him to the police, or worse, he snuck me across the border, tied me up, and sold me to the first gang of ruthless Coyotes who'd take me. Now I'm stuck in a Mexican whorehouse, in God-knows-where. I'm all alone, I don't speak the language - and they're about to sell me off to the highest bidder. And then HE turns up.

And I've started to realize that there's a splinter in this predator's paw. I think there's a chance to redeem this monster - if he doesn't break me first. Mendoza I'm El León - The Lion - and I run this district of Mexican desert with a rule of iron. I'll use whatever suits my purpose - and that includes people. When I heard about the pretty American for auction at the local burdel, I figured she might be good for a few day's distraction, and then I could pass her over for my men to use and abuse. But that was before I saw her. There's something about this fierce, feisty American bitch that I can't get out of my head. She's an enigma, and the moment we meet, she finds a way to get under my skin. I can't let this stand. There's no room in my heart for anything but ghosts. So I'm going to break her. I'm going to have her on her knees, begging for mercy. But the more I push her to the edge, the more she's threatening to breath life into parts of my soul I'd long thought dead.
