CHAPTER 15

“This Is Going a Little Too Far”

Olivia

Not only was 2006 the best year, business-wise, for Junior and Peter, it was also one of my happiest years at home. I was so caught up with Brandon, trying to be a good wife and mother, that I stopped being a busybody and stayed out of Junior and Peter’s business. I was obsessively in love with my family, encased in this bubble, in complete denial of what was really happening around me. But I didn’t care. I felt safe and secure, and most of all, happy.

I even let go of my music career. For two years, I’d been flying from Mexico to Miami to New York, then back to LA, to record, and it became too overwhelming. Junior and I had devoted so much time bringing famous producers, songwriters, and engineers down from the States to Mexico City, and we’d spend weeks at a time in our recording studio, working with them. We had strong ties and close relationships to music executives and top artists, and if there was a connection, it was ours. I was even presented with the opportunity to sign Drake before he signed to Cash Money Records.

But the music was too consuming, and the business was too demanding. My family needed me. I let my career slide, and Junior supported my decision; he just wanted me to be happy.

With more time on our hands, Cancún became our favorite spot. We’d take the whole family down on long vacations with us, sometimes months at a time, and once we realized we were there constantly, we decided to buy a condo. All of Junior and Peter’s wholesalers and employees came to visit, and when we weren’t there, they used it as a vacation house.

Sometimes Mia and Peter would watch Brandon while Junior and I would go to dinner. The next night, they’d head out to the same restaurant, and the waiters would give the guys dirty looks because they thought they were living double lives.

During the day, we did family things like going out to the pyramids, or we’d take Brandon in the pool. He’d swim around with his floaties, then beg Junior to throw him up in the air and catch him as he came up from the water like a little fish. When he’d get tired, the three of us would lie in the cabana as he fell asleep on his daddy’s chest. As we watched the sunset, Junior and I would hold hands.

It was heaven. And I know I was just fooling myself, but at the time I thought, Why try to fix something that isn’t broken?

Mia

It really was heaven. Peter and I moved into a five-thousand-square-foot penthouse that had been owned by the famous singer Alejandro Fernández, the son of legendary singer Vincente Fernández. It had white Italian marble everywhere, twenty-foot ceilings, and windows wrapped around from one end to another. The master walk-in closet was the size of a studio apartment, and the elevator opened up right at the front entrance.
