Speaker 1 (00:00):
A Summer of secrets, the story of Beatrice and Oscar.
It was the summer of two thousand eight, a time
when the sun seemed to hang lazily over Mexico City,
baking the rooftops and making the asphalt shimmer like it
was alive. In one of those fancy neighborhoods, tucked away
about thirty minutes from the city center, where gates were tall,
(00:20):
security cameras watched every corner, and every driveway had at
least one imported car. A story unfolded that would leave
the community whispering for years. At first glance, nothing looked
out of place. The lawns were trimmed like they were
cut with nail scissors. The air smelled faintly of guardinius
and chlorine from pool parties, and the only chaos was
(00:42):
the buzz of cicadas at night. But behind the tinted
windows of one particular mansion, a storm was brewing, one
that nobody saw coming, and one that would end with tragedy.
The victim was a boy barely stepping into adulthood. His
name was Oscar Rojas, just eighteen, freshly done with school
(01:02):
and eager to taste the freedom of adulthood. His killer,
or at least a person who pulled him into a
situation that spun out of control, was a woman nearly
three decades older, Beatrice Montiel. Now Beatrice wasn't some household
name or movie star. She wasn't famous outside the gated
(01:22):
community she lived in. But inside those walls, everyone knew her,
or at least everyone thought they did. She was forty five, divorced, wealthy,
and flamboyant. She owned businesses that nobody quite understood. Something
in real estate, something in imports. But what stood out
wasn't her resume, it was her lifestyle. She lived big.
(01:49):
She wore expensive jewelry, drove the kind of car you'd
only see in glossy magazines, and through parties that made
the neighbors half envious, half annoyed. Some people called her
magne neddick. Others whispered that she was intimidating, but nobody
denied she liked to be surrounded by people. She had
this aura of someone who could get anything she wanted,
(02:10):
and for a while, what she wanted was Oscar. Chapter one.
The meeting Oscar didn't come for money. His home was
miles away from polished gates, and armed guards in a
neighborhood where the walls were tagged with graffiti, not ivy.
His family wasn't destitute, but life wasn't easy either. His
(02:32):
mom stretched every peso and his dad, when he was around,
worked long shifts that barely covered the basics. Oscar dreamed
of something else, something bigger. When he finished secondary school,
he wasn't sure what to do. College felt far away,
almost impossible. With the bills piling up at home. He
(02:55):
wanted independence, adventure, a way to escape the cycle. That's
when he stumbled into the whispers. See in certain corners
of the city, there were always rumors about people wealthy,
usually older, who looked for young company. Sometimes it was
framed as mentorship, sometimes as help, but everybody knew what
(03:17):
it really was. A trade company for comfort, youth for money.
It wasn't glamorous, but it was tempting for someone like
Oscar who wanted more than the cramped rooms and secondhand
clothes he'd grown up with. That's how he found Beatrice,
or maybe it was the other way around. Chapter two.
(03:39):
The deal their arrangement wasn't written on paper, but it
might as well have been. From the first meeting there
was an understanding. She'd give him access to a world
he couldn't dream of, fancy restaurants, expensive clothes, trips to
exclusive spots, and in return, he'd be there for her.
(04:00):
He'd keep her entertained, flatter her, stay by her side.
To Oscar, it sounded like a fair trade. At first,
he wasn't naive. He knew what he was signing up for,
but he didn't realize how quickly that shiny promise could
turn heavy. Beatrice was thrilled at first. Here was this
(04:22):
young guy, wide eyed and energetic, someone she could mold.
She had been through divorces, heartbreaks, the kind of adult
messes that leave you jaded. With Oscar, she felt powerful again,
like she was in control. He was malleable, innocent, exactly
what she craved for. Oscar. Those first weeks were intoxicating.
(04:46):
One day he was eating tacos on the street corner,
the next he was sipping wine at a rooftop restaurant
overlooking the city. He'd walk through luxury malls and clothes
he never imagined, owning pass bouncers at exclusive parties without
even being questioned. It was surreal, But even in those
glittering moments, something felt off. Chapter three, Cracks in the Facade.
(05:13):
Neighbors started to notice. Beatrice had always been commanding, but
with Oscar, she seemed almost possessive. If he laughed too loudly,
if he used a slang word she didn't like, she'd
shoot him a sharp look. People whispered about how she
corrected him in public, like she was training him instead
of dating him. An Oscar, he tried to play it cool,
(05:37):
but sometimes his eyes gave him away. At parties, when
the music was blasting and everyone was sipping champagne, he'd
stare into space, like he wasn't really there. Some swore
they saw him looking sad, almost scared. Back home, he
barely mentioned Beatrice to his family. He called her a friend,
(05:58):
helping me out. They didn't ask many questions every time
he sent a little money their way. They were too
relieved to pry. Maybe they didn't want to know. But
Beatrice wasn't just a friend. She was a force, and
she was starting to take over his entire life. Chapter four,
(06:20):
The Control. Beatriz wasn't content with being part of Oscar's life.
She wanted to own it. She dictated what he wore,
how he spoke, even when he could go out. If
he didn't answer her calls fast enough, there'd be fights.
If he spent time with people his age, she'd spiral
into jealousy. For Oscar, it was suffocating. He'd started this
(06:46):
journey to find freedom, but instead he felt trapped. He
couldn't hang out with old friends, couldn't go anywhere without
explaining himself. He wasn't just living in Beatrice's house, he
was living under her rule. Her staff saw it too, maids, drivers, assistants.
They noticed the way his smile faded over time. At first,
(07:11):
he had been thrilled, almost giddy, but as weeks turned
into months, he got quieter. One housekeeper swore she caught
him crying once in the kitchen, though he denied it.
When asked, I'm fine, he'd mutter always I'm fine, But
he wasn't. Chapter five, the summer of two thousand eight.
(07:35):
By midsummer, the neighborhood was buzzing with its usual luxuries,
pool parties, weekend getaways, kids home from universities abroad. On
the surface, it was paradise, but inside Beatrice's mansion things
were tense. Oscar was pulling away, or at least trying
to he wanted space, a little bit of independence. Beatrice
(08:00):
saw that as betrayal. The more he tried to breathe,
the tighter she clung, jealousy, suspicion, arguments. They escalated fast.
No one knew how bad it was getting. People noticed
little things, her sharp tone at a dinner, his distant stare,
but nobody intervened. After all, what went on in someone
(08:22):
else's mansion wasn't their business. But inside, the pressure cooker
was about to explode. Chapter six, The Spiral. Every relationship
has a breaking point, and they were speeding toward theirs.
For Beatrice, losing control wasn't an option. For Oscar, staying
(08:44):
felt unbearable, but leaving seemed impossible. He was scared, scared
of disappointing his family, scared of losing the comfort he'd
gotten used to, but mostly scared of Beatrice herself. She
wasn't physically violent, at least not yet, but her threats,
her sharp words, her ability to cut him off financially
(09:06):
kept him chained. He wanted to escape, but every attempt
ended in a fight. Every hesitation fueled her paranoia, and
then one night, everything tipped over the edge. Chapter seven,
The Breaking Point, The exact details are murky. Different people
(09:29):
remember it differently, but what's clear is that the tension
finally exploded into violence. Maybe it was an argument about
Oscar wanting to see friends, Maybe it was jealousy. Maybe
it was just months of bottled up anger spilling out.
But that night, the gated community that prided itself on
peace and perfection heard sirens. Police cars broke through the silence,
(09:54):
and soon everyone learned what had happened inside Beatrice's home.
Oscar Rojas, the boy who had walked into the neighborhood
wide eyed and hopeful, was dead. Chapter eight. The aftermath.
Shock doesn't even begin to cover it. Neighbors couldn't stop talking.
Some said they saw it coming, that the relationship had
(10:16):
always felt strange. Others swore they had no idea, that
Beatrice had always seemed eccentric but harmless. The media had
a field day. An older, wealthy woman and a teenage boy.
It was scandal. Gold Headlines painted Beatrice as a predator,
a manipulator, a villain. Some tried to portray Oscar as greedy,
(10:41):
someone who asked for it, but most people just felt
the tragedy of it. A boy looking for a better
life ended up losing it. Chapter nine, Lessons Nobody learned.
Time passed like it always does, but the story stuck.
For the community, it was a stain they couldn't wash away.
(11:03):
For Oscar's family, it was a wound that never really healed.
And for Beatrice, well, her name became a cautionary tale.
But what really lingers isn't just the crime itself. It's
the silence that came before it. The neighbors who saw
red flags but kept quiet, the family who didn't ask questions,
(11:25):
the staff who noticed tears but looked away. Oscar didn't
just die because of Beatrice's obsession. He died because everyone
else thought it wasn't their place to step. In epologue,
the summer of two thousand eight ended like all summers do.
The parties stopped, the pools grew quiet, and eventually even
(11:49):
the whispers faded. But the story of Beatrice and Oscar
never really left. It became the kind of tale you
tell in hushed voices, a reminder that behind closed doors,
even the fanciest ones, darkness can grow, and sometimes that
darkness doesn't stay hidden. To be continued
