Gerardo Larios starts committing petty offenses with his friend, which eventually escalate into serious crimes. In Untamed Royals, Fernando Cattori plays Gerardo.
Gerardo is best friends with Xavier, a boy from a wealthy family. The two have known each other for years, and no one, except Gerardo, puts up with Xavier.
Gerardo and Xavier constantly get into trouble, whether by paying the stable boys to beat each other up or receiving noise complaints from neighbors after getting drunk.
Despite this, Xavier’s parents like Gerardo because he always acts decently around them and never fails to charm them.
The crimes Gerardo commits with Xavier
Violence and crime excite Xavier, so he ropes Gerardo into committing crimes with him for the thrill. One day, they plan to rob Xavier’s family.
As instructed by Xavier, Gerardo, wearing a mask, breaks into his house while Xavier is home alone with their house help, Mari.
To make the robbery look believable and avoid suspicion from the police, Xavier allows Gerardo to hurt him, even going as far as letting him shoot him.
After robbing Xavier’s family, the two then target his girlfriend’s family. They convince Renata’s mother that they have kidnapped Renata and demand a ransom of one million pesos.
With each crime, Gerardo becomes bolder. He takes Xavier to gamble with dangerous men using the money from their crimes.
They make even more money there, but things spiral out of control when Gerardo, under the influence, picks a fight with one of the men and challenges him.
Gerardo bets his finger and loses, but before his opponent can collect, Gerardo flees with Xavier, leading to an accident involving the men chasing them.
Once again, Gerardo escapes unharmed from a dangerous situation. Soon, he becomes involved in an even more dangerous scheme.
The consequences of Gerardo’s actions
Gerardo gives the stolen money to Pilar, the woman he loves, who is also the wife of Xavier’s wealthy neighbor. Pilar sleeps with Gerardo in exchange for the money.
Gerardo hopes to convince Pilar to marry him one day, but despite the money he brings her, Pilar refuses to leave her husband.
Gerardo is also dating Xavier’s sister, Mariana, as his mother constantly reminds him to prioritize money over love.
Gerardo eventually gets involved in Mariana’s plan to extort more money from Renata’s mother by kidnapping Renata’s younger brother, Vicente.
Gerardo accidentally gives Vicente too many sleeping pills to keep him sedated, which results in Vicente’s death. Gerardo and his co-conspirators decide to keep their crimes a secret.
However, the investigating officers, Rodrigo and Martínez, uncover Gerardo’s involvement and gather evidence against him by talking to Pilar.
Since Gerardo does not come from a wealthy family like Xavier and Mariana, he lacks their security, so the officers use the evidence against him to blackmail him into handing over all the money he has stolen.
Gerardo is left with only a small amount he had hidden at Pilar’s house. He is also told that he must work for Rodrigo from now on, as Rodrigo has leverage over him.
