*******************************************

One fateful evening, as I sat alone in my dimly lit apartment, I reminisced about the events that led me down the path of destruction.

My name is Jay Wilson, am thirty six years old and a resident of El Paso, an island known for its outstanding beauty, peaceful nature and its unique scenery. Everyone who had ever visited the island always had something good to say about it but what no one realized was that it was all just a farce for what really goes on in the island. For people like us who have lived there all our lives, we know that all those were just a charade.

El Paso is the home of one of the most notorious drug lords, a place filled with so much evil and mischievous things and all these kept hidden from the outside world, and I won't say that I am completely innocent from all the bad things that have happened on the island.

It all started after the tragic accident that claimed both my parents' lives when I was just a teenager. We tried asking for help from family members, friends and close associates, but no one agreed to help us, everyone turned a blind eye to all our misfortune so, my younger brother, Luke, and I were left to fend for ourselves.

We were all alone but I knew that I had to do something so that we could survive. I started stealing just so that we could afford a days' meal, it was during one of my attempts I got caught by a man, unknown to me, was a drug lord. He took pity on me and took me in. Desperation clouded my judgment, and I allowed my pain to guide me towards the wrong crowd. I found solace in the company of Vandal Montero, a notorious drug lord in the city. Vandel took me under his wing, offering me money and protection in exchange for my loyalty and services. I soon became entangled in the volatile world of drugs, violence, and deceit.

Gradually, I became an expert drug pusher and that's how my journey to the top began until I finally became his right hand man. To some he was called "Aturo Beltran levy(the boss of bosses) to others he was called El Tamalon(the big tamale), but his real name was Vandel Montero, a was a very brutal and merciless man.
