$A los 21 años, me llamaban un perdedor, una vergüenza, un soñador demasiado estúpido para sobrevivir. “Vas a fracasar y volverás arrastrándote a suplicar”, gritó mi padre antes de tirarme al suelo de un golpe.

La noche en que intentaron destruirme para siempre, no tenían idea de que yo ya estaba a un paso de volverme intocable… y lo que pasó después lo cambió todo.$
