Part 5/9:
The Drug Empire
Together, Mera and George entered into a high-stakes business with serious implications. Their relationship was fueled by a shared ambition, and as they built a drug empire, they experienced a life of extraordinary wealth and luxury—jetting around in private planes and living lavishly. Their operation thrived on the connections that Mera had nurtured in Colombia and the networks that George had developed in the U.S.
However, their success soon attracted significant peril. The burgeoning drug scene resulted in increasing violence and competition, leading to betrayals among associates and intensifying law enforcement scrutiny. Mera’s life, once filled with glamor, began to spiral downward as addiction took hold, straining her marriage to George.
