Synopsis

Chapter 1 - character sketch

Gabriella Sanchez: Independent and beautiful, a badass boss-babe with a fiery soul.

She is a pretty girl of 25, doctor by day, badass queen by night. Deep in her heart she keeps a secret, a burning desire for revenge. A desire which arose out of personal loss, which has deeply affected her since she was a baby. She wants to avenge the loss of her dear mother and older brother and she will go to any imaginable lengths to make this dream come true, to see the wrongdoer burn in front of her eyes, in the flames of her making!

Luiz Sanchez:  Gabriella's father and the boss of the biggest cartel in all of Colombia. He is a ruthless crime-lord who values honesty and trust over anything else. His principle for the business "profits come second, trust is the biggest commodity and I don't expect it from cheap people".

Margarita Sanchez: Wife of Luiz and mother to Gabriella. She is poles apart from the ruthless and pragmatic Luiz  She is an angel, who dotes on her children a glue that keeps the family together and away from the dirty business of the cartel.

Gabriel Sanchez: Elder brother of Gabriella, presumed to be dead. As a kid he was very protective of his little sister and mature beyond his years, due to the fact that he is the heir apparent to the Medellin cartel throne.

Mirana Valerion:   She is the daughter of the right hand man of Luis Sanchez and best friend of Gabriella, a happy-go-lucky kinda soul who lives each moment to its fullest. She is the one responsible for bringing a little joy in Gabriella's otherwise drab and depressed existence.

Ramon Valerion:  Mirana's father and Luiz's right hand man. He is the mastermind who supports Luiz's reign over the Medellin cartel. He has saved Luiz from numerous assassination attempts and bad deals and at this point is more than family for the Sanchez family.

Alejandro Martinez: He is the heir apparent to the biggest cartelin Mexico, the Sinoala cartel. 30 years old and the top choice on every "suitable and most wanted" bachelors list. An hotelier and art/precious goods dealer by day. Drug lord and playboy by night. He is sadistic and borderline psychopath on the outside, but deep inside somewhere, hidden below this circumstantial façade lies a glimmer of goodness, but the darkness around has obscured it so well it will take a monumental effort to unleash it.

Rosa Martinez: Wife of Miguel and mother to Alejandro and Sandra. She is an independent and strong-minded woman, who has perfectly balanced her family with managing the cartel. She has been managing the cartel with her father since a young age and now does the same with her husband. She might look cold and vicious on the outside, but has a soft heart inside.

Ricardo Martinez: The prodigal son of the family, who lives for the day and goes with the flow. His parents are not happy with his wayward ways, but his older brother is protective of him and supports him to live his life away from the dark ways of the cartel and be different. He is a bit crazy but has a artistic and genius streak in him.

Carlos Velazquez: Right hand man of Rosa and Carlos, been working for the cartel since he was a teenager, rising through the ranks. Serving Rosa's dad and now trusted enough to be the right hand man. He is a no-nonsense worker who would kill or give his life for the organization.

Miguel Martinez: Head of the Sinaola cartel. Someone who did not choose this path, but a role he clearly transitioned well and does his best at. He had to choose this path for the love of his life, Rosa. He is a passionate and loyal man, who loves his family over anything else and also believes it's his responsibility to keep his father-in-laws business alive, he feels indebted to him.

Sandra Martinez: Naïve and care-free daughter of the Sinoala cartel. She is a doctor by profession, a surprising turn in her life totally changed everything for her. Now she is a shell of her former self, trying to collect the pieces.
