Pablo Escobar’s life has been depicted through a number of television series and books over the year, all of which offer several different takes on the life of the world's most ruthless drug dealer.

One person who arguably holds the most secrets is his widow who married Escobar when she was 15 but has always maintained her silence. Until now.

Pablo Escobar’s life has been depicted through a number of television series and books over the year, all of which offer several different takes on the life of the world's most ruthless drug dealer.

One person who arguably holds the most secrets is his widow who married Escobar when she was 15 but has always maintained her silence. Until now.

Victoria Eugenia Henao has finally decided to cash in, 25 years after her infamous husband's death with a tell-all book titled ‘Mi Vida y Mi Carcel con Pablo Escobar’ [‘My Life and My Jail with Pablo Escobar’], which is due to hit book stores November 15.

In what will come as a bombshell revelation, Victoria Eugenia Henao claims that a vigilante group known as Los Pepes [Los Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar or 'People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar'], paid $220million for Escobar's head.

The group consisted of the rival Cali Cartel and the Norte del Valle Cartel [North Valley Cartel] as well as right-wing paramilitaries led by Carlos Castano.    

Henao goes in-depth to explain exactly how deeply involved Escobar was with these paramilitary groups and how they enabled and protected his drug production and distribution to the United States and beyond.

The drug lord's wife reveals how Escobar went toe-to-toe with the Cali Cartel and the Colombian government.

‘Mi Vida y Mi Carcel con Pablo Escobar’ also offers a look into some dramatic familial moments such as how Henao and her two children were denied entry into Germany and were forced to fly back to Colombia. 

She also offers a detailed explanation of how the infamous drug dealer lived a luxurious life inside his own jail, La Catedral [The Cathedral], from where he continued to lead his criminal organization's day-to-day dealings, and how the family had to give in to the demands imposed by Escobar's enemies after his assassination on December 2, 1993, as he tried to escape through the roof of his hideout home in Medellin before the Colombian National Police took him down.

Victoria Eugenia Henao was just a shy 13-year-old girl when she met Escobar, but quickly fell in love with the future drug kingpin and married the 26-year-old in 1976 at the age of 15.

Her family at first disapproved of her relationship with Escobar, who was cutting his teeth working for an army of contraband smugglers before realizing the drug world offered him a quicker path to the wealth he so much desired.

Henao had no idea what the future had in store for her as Escobar's wife and the mother to their two children, Juan Pablo and Manuela.

The 57-year-old widow spent two years penning the 500-page book about the drug cartel leader who, in death, has taken on somewhat of a cult following.
