Our story starts like this...
El Zorro the bold and brave hero has been legend around the world. Isabel (Isabel Allende if you read her book you will see that she pretends to be one of the characters...) gave us a detailed story about his life as Zorro/Diego de la Vega, according to us it was the most complete biography of his adventures but we were wrong. Five years after Diego saw Juliana for the last time she "married" the corsair jean Laffitte, and I say married because marriage like that are usually not official... anyway back to the story.
After the five years Diego met again Lolita Pulido the girl that used to send him love letters when they were young but that was everything but pretty in that time. Diego was so frustrated after suffering Juliana's treason he took refuge in Lolita's arms and married her. Lolita Pulido Diego's wife died after their marriage the day that was their fifth anniversary irony we don't know yet; everyone came to say goodbye to the prestigious women that was gentle with the prisoners of El Diablo, the old prison were her cousin used to be the person in charge. She helped the old and the sick to recover and those actions were known in many places of California; thank God they didn't know she married Zorro.
Juliana de Romeu, Isabel's sister came to the funeral and revealed a secret that had dared not to reveal for the guilt that she have been feeling since the end of the journey from her house in Barcelona to New Orleans, were she left them leave without her. That sentiment that tormented her because even when says that she was happy with Jean her pirate, she still loved the man that loved her since she was a young girl, Diego.
The love for him was awaken when they were travelling together in Spain, those memories were still fresh in her mind and in her heart. She was obstinate, she never said her feelings because that would have kill Jean or even worst; to make Jean so jealous of Diego, she married him because he was something unexplainable, something that was more like a challenge for her to make him correct his life. But, the real deep reason is that according to her, it was the only thing that would save them from being in New Orleans and go to their final destination California.
She noticed that she loved Diego after she stopped looking at him as he was the intense and dull boy all smiles and ears that got to her house four years ago. Yeah he was change, he was now a man capable of taking the responsibility of taking care and protect them without asking anything in exchange. Juliana started to notice him there.. she was able to appreciate Diego's caramel color eyes, so beautiful, with a intense and peaceful look, that she didn't want to end seeing for the rest of her life. She also saw his gallant demeanor and she was able to see his sensibility, that the others suitors had a lack of, but that she could see through Diego's poetry; poems that he wrote in order for her to fall for him.
But without further ado lets see the story so that this also doesn't become a boring biography because Zorro could be anything except: boring.
