Pasión y Poder #20 Martes 12/1/15
Chapter
20: Thirty Pieces of Silver
Consuelo
came out of the bathroom with the pregnancy test stick in her hand.
She took a deep breath, hoping for a positive result. This was going
to be the longest thirty seconds of her day. Miguel burst in without
knocking and she dropped it, startled. Miguel apologized and picked
it up. He looked down and told her it was positive. She was
thrilled and he was happy for her. When he said so, though, he
looked away.
“Consuelo,
now that you know this do you want to keep investigating your
husband?”
“Yes.
Now more than ever. I want to know everything. Afterward I'll
figure out what to do with the information.”
Raul,
the man whom Eladio last conspired with on the phone, entered his
office at the company. He looked like Boris Karloff sans
moustache. He told Eladio that everything was ready. Eladio
gloated over Erick's stupidity and more at the thought of Arturo's
reaction when he discovered Erick's betrayal.
“He
fell into his own trap,” Eladio said. “The idiot has dug his own
grave.”
“He's
got no idea what's waiting for him.”
“Nobody
takes away what's mine. Sooner or later they will pay.”
“Will
you need anything else, Señor Gómez Luna?”
“Not
at the moment. I will call you if that changes.”
They
shook hands across the desk.
“I'm
here to serve you. Excuse me.”
He
left, just passing Franco as he entered.
“Godfather,
I've been investigating the Montenegro children. I'm sure I'll find
something.”
“Check
everything. Business, personal, anything you can. The more you find
the more I can use to hurt him in the worst possible way.”
“I
agree. Is there a meeting coming up?”
“Yes.
I have a meeting with the construction company.”
“Great.
Do we have a new project?” He sat down.
“Yes.”
He sat down and opened a file folder. “I am pleased with this
agreement. Something tells me this will turn out well.”
“This
will give us an advantage against Montenegro?”
“Because
we have a great collaborator. That imbecile Erick Montenegro.”
Both
grinned.
“That was a great coup using his own son to pull a great deal against Arturo Montenegro,” said Franco. One had to wonder how his nose was still clean.
“That was a great coup using his own son to pull a great deal against Arturo Montenegro,” said Franco. One had to wonder how his nose was still clean.
“This
Montenegro junior knows nothing about business. In place of helping
his father he's working against him.”
“I
didn't know you had all this planned.”
“I
don't have to tell you everything I do.”
“Godfather,
now that David is joining the business, things are going to change
between you and me?”
“Come
here,” he said, motioning with his right hand. Franco leaned in
and Eladio grabbed his left lapel and pulled him in. “Don't be a
fool. Forget this stupidity. Hm?” He slapped Franco's right
shoulder lightly and took his left one as well. “My son isn't in
the same department as you.”
“I
just thought that you'd put him in charge of the other employees.
No?”
“No.
Don't suppose. Ask me.” His tone indicated his intolerance of
mistakes or disobedience. “Don't act like a novice. One thing is
my son in the business and the other is not getting into things that
aren't in your purview. We have to see how things go.”
“What
do we do with the territory in Huatulco?”
“I'm
going to think how to resolve that. He will have to pay.”
“And
when will we collect the materials?”
“David
will when we put him in touch with our contacts. Do you get it? Do
you get it? My son will help us and our hands will be clean.”
Arturo,
Nina, and Daniela returned home from the psychiatrist's office. Nina
looked a little too satisfied with what happened.
“I
think the doc and I will go very well,” said Daniela.
“Good.
Now see that you don't miss any appointments,” Arturo said. He
kissed her forehead. Just as his cellphone rang.
“You're
not going to answer?” Nina asked. She looked suspicious.
“Yes.”
He looked carefully and answered. “Hello?”
“Arturo?
It's Julia. I need to talk to you.”
“Sorry,
I can't right now. I'm dealing with a family matter and I don't know
how long it will take.”
“I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. Don't worry; I won't bother you
by calling again.”
He
mumbled something and ended the call.
“Who
was that?” Nina asked.
“Nobody
important,” he told Nina. He looked at Daniela. “I hope you
won't forget what the therapists says.”
“No,
Dad. And thanks, both of you, for helping me to go on.” She
grinned at Arturo while watching for his reactions. Nina smiled at
her protege's performance. “I'll do that. And Dad, I'll do
everything you say so you'll soon lift my punishment.”
Daniela
kissed both parents, telling her mother she loved her, and went
upstairs to her room.
“Wow.
I wasn't used to that,” he said.
“Arturo,
thanks,” said Nina. She moved in in her usual seductive manner and
embraced him. She started kissing him slowly, as though she had
spent the entire night before planning an afternoon delight. She had
always been sure of her sexual talents. They were the only ones that
she could capitalize on.
Monserrat
returned from shopping with at least a dozen bags from expensive
stores. This was what she lived for. Aldo followed her into her
apartment like the good little lap dog her ego needed.
“With
the money Erick game me, I was only able to buy these.” She put
five bags on the table.
“I'm
sure this wasn't enough,” he said as he put the rest down.
“It's
good you know how I think.” She flopped down on the couch. “If
I ask for little, he does nothing.”
“That's
quite a plan because you have what it takes to drive men mad.” He
sat down next to her.
“It's not just what I have. It's that I know how to seduce.” She was clearly confident she could not fail. “But I have to urge him to get paid for the business he's doing.”
“It's not just what I have. It's that I know how to seduce.” She was clearly confident she could not fail. “But I have to urge him to get paid for the business he's doing.”
“What
about Consuelo? Will he leave her or what?”
“Of
course. He's tired of her so he'll divorce her. That's the least he
can do.”
“Why
did he marry her? Does she have a lot of money or what?”
“I
don't know. But she was able to become Mrs Montenegro; not I.”
“So
you have to know all about her life so you know where you can
attack.” He made a beheading motion.
Regina
came home and Miguel was there to listen.
“David
did very well in front of all those reporters. But alone, that was
another story.”
“Sounds
like a lot of crazy bitterness. I'm thinking about Dad's reaction.
And his father will really lose it when he finds out.”
“I
won't have the courage to see it. But with all you've said, you're
right. The war between the Montenegros and Gómez Lunas never was
completely clean.”
“Yes.
They're fighting all this time over business stuff.”
“Well,
it's good this happened before David and I spent any more time
together.”
“Yes.”
“It's
very sad, but there can't be anything between him and me.”
“What
happened with the project you're working on with him?”
“We
have to find a way to resolve that. If it's not resolved, things
will get very difficult. I don't know what to think. I saw him, I
loved him... Ay, Miguel, it's so hard!”
David
was at Francisco's desk at the office.
“Is
it strange that the reporters found you? They're always looking for
stuff between the Gómez Lunas and the Montenegros.”
“Yes.
I know. But it's that they saw us fighting about our issues.
Regina denied it and is stubborn as her father.”
“Yes,
that's logical, he's her father. You defended yours, didn't you?”
“Of
course. I would now that I understand more than ever.”
“Why?”
David
looked behind him to make sure no one was listening. He then got up
and moved in closer.
“Señor
Montenegro has tried to destroy my father for years, Francisco. He's
done well.”
“So
you decided to help your father.”
“Of
course. Right now I'm going to get the materials that Montenegro
thinks he scored.”
“I'll
help you but it worries me about the attention you'll get by working
here.”
“Well,
if I'm going to help my father it's better I be here than far away.
In fact, it's a serious commitment.”
“It
really pleases me to see you here,” Francisco said. They shook
hands. “I hope they give you an office near me and things get
better.”
They
were actually about to get worse because Franco had just arrived
outside the glass door.
“That's
what I hope because you know what's the most important thing? It's
my mother's happiness. She's happy I'm here.”
Franco
obviously wasn't.
Arturo
was working in his home office. He locked the door before calling
Julia on his cell phone.
“I'm
sorry for the way I ended the call a little while ago.”
“No,
don't worry. I understand perfectly. We both have families who
shouldn't know we're talking to or seeing each other.”
“Julia
--”
“No,
it's better this way.”
“I'm
worried knowing --”
“Things
in my house are much calmer now,” she said.
“Julia,
don't pretend with me. Besides, before cutting off the call there
was something I wanted to tell you.”
“What
did you want to tell me, Arturo?”
“The
fight with your husband.”
“If
that's what you called about, I'd prefer not to. As I said, things
are better with my husband and my son.”
“Good,
good. Forget what I was about to say; there's no point. The most
important thing is that you're alright. Wasn't there something you
wanted to ask me?”
“No,
there's nothing to worry about. Thanks for everything.”
“Tell
me what it was about it, Julia.” Eladio came in without knocking.
“I've
come for you because we're going out.” he said.
“Thanks
very much for your interest,” Julia said. “I'm sorry, but I have
to go now.” She ended the call. At the other end Arturo got a
sick feeling.
“Eladio,
I can't not answer a call from the foundation.”
“Enough,
enough. You shouldn't work so much. It's bad for you. I want to
demonstrate that my intentions toward David are good.”
“Good.
That pleases me because he's your son. That doesn't change what
happens between us. Because I can't forget –”
“Do
what you want,” he said with a steady gaze that was neutral at
best. “But don't complain about what happens later.”
He
walked out. She suddenly felt sick.
Francisco
showed David to his new office. Franco tried baiting David, implying
that he was looking to “solve all the problems in this office”
but David didn't take the bait. He seemed to realize that Franco was
feeling territorial and said he was just looking to get along with
him. Franco pretended to believe him and finally said that he had to
demonstrate his total commitment and loyalty to Eladio in all things.
David looked at him as though he were mad as a hatter. Franco left.
Jacinto stopped in to pay his respects and to thank them for giving
his family the trip to Acapulco.
Nina
congratulated Daniela on her performance at the doctor's office,
especially Daniela's making her issue all about her parents'
fighting. They scored what they saw as a victory at her not being
incarcerated in rehab. Nina suggested that she allow her to help her
with her problems. She then asked the question that had been on her
mind for a while.
“Will
you tell me who is this guy you went out with and then Regina?”
“Oh,
that's not important, Mama.”
“No,
no, no. Of course it is. I have to know or your father will accuse
me of knowing nothing about my children. Which would mean I don't
worry about my children.”
“Oh,
please don't worry about it. But if anything happens I promise
you'll be the first to know about it.” She went back into the
house.
Nina
had smiled as Daniela talked with such self-assurance. But she was
worried and for at least a moment looked about five years older than
usual.
Eladio
went to Monserrat's place in a celebratory mood. He told her he would
tell her later what that was about. For the moment he merely wanted
her services, the ones he had been paying for during the past three
years.
“I
love being with you,” she said.
As
if to exert his control, he took her face in his hand as he kissed
her and pushed her onto the couch. She stared at him with the very
face of seduction she was thinking of earlier that day.
At
the same moment Consuelo waited on her marital bed for Erick. He
came in to hear her say “My love,” but started looking through
his bureau drawers without even facing her. She mentioned the
couples therapy he had agreed to and he said “I have a lot of work
to do,” which was the bucket of cold water he was always prepared
with on such occasions. “Don't give me that look. We'll go
another time.”
Before
Consuelo could answer that Arturo knocked twice and entered. “I
want to see you in my office right away.” He closed the door.
“What
happened?”
“I
don't know, but now with work and this thing with my father, you can
see why I can't go to your therapist. You have to have more
consideration for me.”
He
left and closed the door behind him.
Regina
was in her room trying to get some work done. Her cell phone
indicated she had a text message. She opened the attachment and saw
the paparazzi photo of herself and David on the cafe floor. The note
said “If you don't want this to be seen you will have to pay a lot
of money.” She was horrified.
Eladio
was even less considerate of his whore than he had been in the past.
They had not gone into the bedroom. He had barely removed his shirt.
He had only satisfied himself with a few basic strokes in an
illusion of intercourse with her.
“That's
it? No more? You're not going to talk? You just came to use me?”
she asked as he put his belt back on.
“All
this is your fault. But in fact this was a great day. You know who
made it so?”
“Who?”
“Your
lover, Erick Montenegro. In exchange for money he betrayed his
father.” He grinned. She stared wordless as she tried to sit on
the couch. “You know what would please me?” He reached for her
and grabbed her upper arms and pulled her back up to her feet. “The
look on your face when you realized that I was behind this big deal
you thought he made.” He played with her hair in a way that said
he was thinking of her throat.
Erick
went down to Arturo's office.
“Dad,
why are you so annoyed?”
“Who
leaked the information about the highway deal?”
“What
are you talking about, Dad?”
“Someone
in the company leaked our information.”
“Do
you have any idea who?”
“No,
no, no. But I will find out and put him in jail for treason and
corruption!”
Erick
was only just intelligent enough to hope that his father wouldn't
find out he did it.
“And
what's up with you?”
“Nothing.
I'm having a drink. Do you want one?”
“No.
Why that look?” He sat back down.
“For
nothing. For myself.”
“I
hope that expression is regret you wasted your time with such an
imbecile and not for another reason.”
“I
ended it with Erick. I don't know why you continue to --”
“Shhh!”
He got up and met her halfway to her seat. He pulled the elastic
top of her blouse, as though inspecting the contents. “You are
only to please me.” Then he took the drink from her hand and
swallowed half.
“I
can't believe it, Dad,” Erick said as he put his drink down. “I
can't believe anyone would do something like this. I never knew.... I
don't know anything.” He put his hands in his pockets. Arturo
turned around and stared down on him.
“Of
course you knew. You were with me in Huatulco. How could you be
such an idiot? Like your little adventure --”
“I'm
sorry, Dad. But in total --”
“Oh,
but it's all OK? It's the opposite.” His cell rang. It was
Augustin.
Regina
looked at the rest of the attachment. It was various photos of her
and David kissing. “I hope you're thinking about our offer. This
is what we're going to publish.” She told herself she wasn't going
to fall into this blackmail trap. There was a knock and Consuelo
entered. Regina closed the door and pulled her further into the
room. She showed her the attachment.
“Regina
Montenegro Leaves Joshua Solares at the altar for the son of her
father's #1 enemy.” Consuelo's jaw dropped.
“No,
no, it's not possible that the information went outside the company,”
Arturo told Augustin. “I was here the whole time. We'll talk
later.” He hung up.
“Actually,
I don't remember what anybody said,” Erick said, turning away from
his father's stare.
“This
is the limit. I thought you were my right-hand man. You were
supposed to be in charge of all that.”
“Yes,
I will do that. I'll find out who did this.”
“No.
We are going to find the traitor who stooped this low.
We will find him because this is also your business.”
“Yes,
Dad, of course.” He was almost smirking.
“We're
going out of the office.”
Arturo
picked up his cell and left. Erick checked his and called his whore,
who was still with her true owner. He got her voice mail and left
the following message. “It's Erick. I can't give you anything
more. I'll call later to explain. Don't call me.” He ended the
call.
“Why
didn't you answer your cell?”
“Because
when I'm with you I don't want interruptions.”
“I
hope you're not lying because if you get back with that imbecile --”
“Do
you want to check my cell? Look at my missed calls and messages?
You can see if I lied.”
If
Monserrat thought she was calling Eladio's bluff, she called it
badly. He snatched the phone from her hand.
“I
hope you aren't that stupid,” he said. He handed it back
uninspected and headed for the door.
“Eladio,”
she pulled his arm back as he was halfway out. “When will I see
you again?”
“When
I feel like it.”
He
walked off to the elevator without even kissing her. She closed the
door and leaned against it for a moment, then checked her cell. She
listened to Erick's message and disobeyed him by calling back and
leaving one of her own. “I have to talk to you. It's urgent. Our
being together depends on it. Please call.”
She
sat down and took a deep breath. It was amazing that she had room to
breathe at all after what she'd had to swallow that day.
Erick
started to make another money transfer and discovered that he only
had fifty pesos in his account. That's only a little less than four dollars US. He called Raul and got his voicemail. “Call me. This
was an error, wasn't it? We have to talk.” He cut off the
message. “This can't be happening.” He took a deep breath.
“This can't be happening. This can't be. This can't be.”
Regina
didn't know what to do. While she knew that Arturo would know she
didn't want to tell him. “How do I explain this?” She showed a
particularly damning photo to Consuelo.
“You
mother will have a heart attack. This will be a worse scandal than
cancelling the wedding.”
“I
know what I have to do.” Regina called David. “David, we have a
very big problem.”
“What?
Is it mechanical or --”
“No.
It's worse.”
“What?”
“I'm
being blackmailed about the photo taken in the cafe. If I don't pay
up they will publish the article saying that I canceled my wedding to
Joshua to have an affair with you.”
“Don't
worry, Regina. Who knows about the photo?”
“There's
the one who took the photo where we look like we're kissing; the
other one is worse. Just a minute. I'll hang up and send it to
you.” She did so. David explained this to Francisco. His phone
announced a message and he looked. It was the almost-kiss that
didn't happen right after he slipped and fell on the floor. He
showed it to Francisco, who gritted his teeth. The phone beeped a
call in.
“Regina,
this is a lie.”
“We
might not be able to stop them publishing it.”
“We
have to think about what we can do.”
“You
agree that we can't give them money?”
“Of
course. If we give them money they'll just come back demanding more
and more.”
“You're
right.”
“Let
me think and I'll call you back. Don't get too upset.” He ended
the call.
“What
happened? What did he say?” asked Consuelo.
“That
he'll call later. You see, Consuelo? You see that getting involved
with David was a big mistake. Now you know why it's impossible.”
Her phone rang. It was the blackmailer messaging a demand for her
decision.
“Tell
him you will talk to David.”
Aldo
visited Monserrat. He was hoping to hang out with her, but she
wasn't in the mood to go out. He went inside. She began to freak
out. “I can't stand it when he touches me. I can't take it, I
can't take it, I can't take it anymore!” She paced, she embraced
him, she was shaking. “I need a pill! Find me a pill!”
“Calm
down, calm down!”
He
got her to sit on the couch.
Monserrat
had reached the end of her rope. She told Aldo she wanted Eladio to
die. Even Aldo was shocked. Monserrat knew she was trapped. She
depended on Eladio. When Aldo mentioned Erick, she told him what she
found out and what it meant. That Erick stupidly fell into the trap
and now there was proof that could be used against him. The intent
was to leave the Montenegros with nothing which would put her at
Eladio's mercy.
David
went into Eladio's office and told him how the meeting went with the
supplier. He said he was going to get the best prices from him. He
also had information on the vendor's other clients. Eladio looked at
it on his computer and was pleased. He said he would put David in
charge of this in future. David looked distracted, but avoided
telling his father the reason why. He said it was about revisions to
his master's thesis. Eladio accepted this and told him to go ahead
and finish it. He excused himself and walked out. Franco had been
observing all this time. David stopped at the sound of his father's
voice.
“David is turning out to be very effective. On the other hand you haven't
brought me anything I've asked you for.”
David
left. It was unfortunate that he didn't hear Franco's answer.
“I'm
working on it. I will have excellent information for you. When his
father realizes he betrayed him –”
“Ay,
ay, ay, ay.” He slammed something hard on the desk. “Everything
has its time. Not before, not after. Timing, timing.”
Franco
looked as though he had just been whipped.
Consuelo
told Regina she needed to tell her father. Regina couldn't and that
was another reason to break up with David. She then asked what
Consuelo came in to tell her.
“You're
going to be an aunt.”
Regina
was thrilled for her. She was sure Erick would also be. Neither
knew him as well as they should have.
Erick
was the oldest of Nina's three children, but he was immature. He had
never learned any sense of responsibility. Nina had spoiled him
because his birth assured her that her marriage would last. He
thought all he had to do was exist. Because she indulged him he
indulged himself and he never gave a single thought about who would
get hurt along the way.
Aldo
prepared the evening meal for Monserrat, but she wasn't very
interested. All she could think of was Erick's stupidity.
“So
things go back to the same as usual with Eladio.”
“Every
time I hate him more,” she said. “The only one I want is Erick.”
“Would
you accept that you would have nothing?”
“I
don't know.”
“You'd
be giving up your economic security. Your life. Because if Eladio
found out you were still in touch with him it would be over. And if
Erick loses everything, the power and the money, what's in it for
you?”
“Don't
tell me that.” She took a large sip of her drink but ignored the
food. “My world just turned upside down.”
Erick
sat in the main office near Augustin, who told him that his father
wants the head of the traitor.
When
Augustin left the office, he called Raul again and got him on the
phone this time. “Where is the 50 million pesos? There's only
50.”
“Erick,
we gave you what was right.”
“You'll
hand it over?”
“We
transferred what Don Eladio said to deposit. Fifty pesos.”
“This
is from Eladio Gómez Luna?”
He
looked like his eyes were going to fall out.
Augustin
didn't know everything but he knew that Eladio was involved. Arturo
wanted everyone involved arrested.
Daniela
lounged on a couch trying to get on the internet. She found herself
blocked from her intended destination, the only place where she could
vex her intended victims. In frustration she threw the tablet on the
carpeted floor. Nina entered without knocking.
“What's
wrong, daughter?”
“Nothing.”
“Daniela,
you hide a lot of things when you know full well that I'll help you.”
“Mother,
I'm not hiding anything.”
“Then,
tell me who is the boy who was seeing both Regina and you.”
“Mother,
don't pressure me over that.”
“Well,
is he's a good match like Joshua or Johnny.” She grinned. She
knew she could get to Daniela by pretending to be her age.
“Of
course,” grinned Daniela. “You want to know if he's handsome and
rich and with a future.”
“Of
course!”
“Mommy,
can I go to the movies with my friends? You'll ive me permission
because you're always so nice to me.”
“You're
father told you you're being punished.”
“Oh,
why? You always understand me.” She kissed Nina's hands
repeatedly.
“Alright.
But don't come back later than nine because if your father finds out
he'll kill me.”
Daniela
kissed her mother, who swatted her backside as she left.
Franco
was surfing the internet and found the drunken photo of Daniela. A
moment later Marianita came in with a photo of Erick exiting a strip
club. She sat on the desk in front of him. She looked like she was
about to pull a Sharon Stone move right out of Basic Instinct.
Franco said the problem was that it wasn't published. She suggested
that they keep looking. At her place tonight. They didn't seem to
worry that Franco's colleagues might see them.
Julia
and Gabriela walked into the front garden. Julia told Gabriela she
was going to forget about the DNA test and any contact with Arturo
because she didn't want to lose ground on the progress in her family.
Gabriela reminded her that she deserved happiness, too.
“But
even if I divorce Eladio Arturo is married. I'm going to keep to the
thought that it was beautiful to have seen each other. But the love
we had in the past has to stay there. It can't be again.”
Regina
met David at Francisco's apartment.
“I
don't want to look like a tart in front of my father. I can't
explain these now if he sees them.”
“But
if we give in to the blackmailer he'll just demand more and more
money.”
“And
if he publishes them? It'll be worse if he reads it. 'Business
Magnate's Daughter Betrays Her Family and Her Fiance With the Son of
Her Father's Worst Enemy.'”
“I
get it, Regina. I understand. But for the first time in my life I'm
getting along with my father. Really. I don't want anyone to see
those pictures. I understand.”
“Then,
what do we do?”
“We'll
have to confront them.”
“I
thought you'd find a solution.” He laughed, shortly. “Why are
you laughing?”
“Well,
the more we try to stay apart the more things happen to make sure
we're together. In spite of everything.”
“Destiny?”
David
moved in to kiss her, but she got up and walked away.
“Yes,
and bad things happen.”
“No
matter what happens you have to understand --”
Francisco
got home from work. David introduced them.
“Well,
have you made a decision?” he asked. “I recommend that you give
them nothing. No money at all. You haven't committed a crime.”
“That's
what I was saying to Regina.”
“And
your parents can't disown you because you were working together.”
“Yeah,
we know.” Regina's cell phone announced a message. It was the
final demand. She showed it to David. He took her cell phone and
typed a reply. “We are not giving in to your threat. Do whatever
you like.” He hit Send. The reply was swift.
“Don't
tell me you aren't going to pay.”
Arturo
returned to the office.
“Calm
down. You don't have to get your temper up,” said Augustin.
“What
happened, Dad?”
“It
was Eladio who finally got the low bid for the highway construction.”
“Ah,
that can't be, Dad.”
“Everyone
who was here that day has to prepare to answer questions because
we're going to interrogate them one at a time.”

Excellent recap, Urban! Looks like tomorrow Art and Eladio learn their children have been fraternizing with the enemy. This gossip news story makes Regina look way worse than David, but I'm sure Eladio will be equally as ticked off as Art, of not more. Just wait till Art finds out about Erick too. The 50 pesos (vs 50 million) was a nice touch. Well played, Eladio. Erick is an idiot.
Small change- Miguel asked Gina was she was going to do about her continued work with David in Queretaro (not the credit card), and she said she didn't know.
What does Montserrat do with her money? Isn't she supposed to be a successful model with a contract with a big company who does print work and runway shows and despite working for Eladio's company, apparently can still go out for other contracts and jobs given her losing the lingerie campaign to Consuelo? I know she dreams of being filthy rich but Eladio pays her rent and the men buy her clothes and other items..so I don't get why she acts like without their money she would be living on the street. She should have a healthy income and barely any expenses....other than her Mom, if she is even really ill.
The more random family talks about the excitement of their big trip, the more I think that Mom isn't going to live long enough to actually go on it.
There were A LOT of paparazzi/fotogs and a million flashes from pictures being taken at the cafe where Regina and David 'kissed' as well as the meeting after on the side of the road. I find it really hard to believe that one of them didn't immediately sell the image for quick, big money. I buy that someone would try to blackmail them for a lot of money but there were so many paps there that even if 1 guy tried to blackmail, there would be many others with the same pictures who would just sell them to a magazine or website.
Thank you Urban for the fast, great recap!

Urban- Fantastic. Thank you.
Oh, I so enjoyed watching Erick squirm when Artie found out about the leak of information and threatend to send the culprit to prison. Also, loved Erick's reaction when he found out that only 50 pesos had been deposited in his account instead of the 50 million he was waiting to receive. I agree Vivi, that it was a nice touch from Eladio. I can't wait until the time comes when Erick gets exposed.
Wow, Regina and David will sure be in hot water when the photo of them is leaked.
So now The Ratt hates being used and hates having Eladio touch her. Well, she's the only one to blame for that. And Aldo- he still baffles me. What does he gain from being The Ratt's confident?

Aldo might just be biding his time. He sure hears a lot of dirt about Eladio and Erick. He might just be waiting for or gathering info he can use to blackmail either family later.
Montse could live very well off her work. Problem is, she doesn't want to work. She wants the life Nina has-- to be the idle wife of a rich man. That's her dream.

Anon321- If The Ratt loses Eladio, she loses everything. Eladio would take the apartment away from her and would fire her and make sure that she does not find work as a model. She also wants to be rid of Eladio, and she needs Erick to get rich quick, so she can leave Eladio and be with Erick, while having the luxury that she thinks she deserves.
I agree about the paparazzi and had the same thought. It is hard to beliveve that the photo wasn't leaked immediately after it was taken by the other paparazzi that were at the restaurant.

Gracias, Vivi; I'll take care of it.
I have been wondering whether Franco hired any of those paparazzi. He would have to know where the Montenegros live and putting greedy photographers on their tail wouldn't be all that difficult. I'm sure there might be one or more of them that thinks he can get better money from them than from their bosses. Publications might say they pay millions for photos of certain celebrities but as an advertising pro I did the math and came out saying that they couldn't make that money back in less than five years. So it's BS.
More tomorrow.

Mauricio- Very true. Montse can't just break up with Eladio, even if she wanted at this point. He would make sure she can't get work. She has to have a back up plan (sugar daddy or rich husband) for when she breaks with him.
Thank you Urban for a detailed recap. I missed some points you provided in your write-up.
Who is Franco and how is he connected to the Gomez-Lunas? I know he calls Eladio Godfather, but who is he?

Wow, UA you did it again and thanks.
" But she was worried and for at least a moment looked about five years older than usual"
Stupid as the blackmail story-line is I'm glad David said no.
Stupid as the Art/Julia story-line is all could be resolved by exchanging notes in class with a simple question. Do you like me? Yes or No
Nepotism is one thing and then there's Erick.
Erick is an imbecile but Franco is a punk.
I hope Miguel washed his hands before he ate after handling that pee stick.

Anon at 6:26 Franco is really Eladio's son from an affair but Franco does not know. The mother is in prison for murder and the grandmother is paid a monthly stipend to keep her mouth shut.
Erick truly is an idiot. I can't wait for Arturo to find out he did this and why. He should be fired, disowned, and given a one-way bus ticket to a small town.
However, in view of Consuelo being pregnant that is not what will happen. The crap that will be hitting the fan about David and Regina will be a distraction and Nina will ream her out for it, which will make Daniela laugh her nasty arse off.

Excellent UA.
"She had always been sure of her sexual talents. They were the only ones that she could capitalize on" and "Aldo followed her into her apartment like the good little lap dog her ego needed" were among my favorites.
Erick was tonight's biggest loser. Hands down.
Erick's desperation would be a bit more understandable if Montse were alluringly beautiful and exuded any attractive qualities - intelligence, sweetness, kindness. She possesses none of these.
Poor Consuelo. She has the most exciting news of her life, yet Regina's dilemma took center stage and Erick rushed out and away as usual. Poor Miguel takes the news in stride with much sadness.
Interesting suggestion about Aldo Vivi. To me, he is a timid weasel. I don’t feel he has the intelligence to conceive the idea of blackmail. He certainly doesn’t seem to have any confidence or courage to follow through. I wonder if he has some purpose in the story (other than a shoulder to cry on and confidant for Montse).
Augustin (the unnoted,unsung galan here) will likely figure out fairly quickly that Erick is the traitor.
"Erick is an imbecile but Franco is a punk". Totally, tofie. Totally.
Thanks again UA!

Thanks UA. Haven't watched this yet but couldn't resist taking a peek at your elegant Dominick Dunne style recap. You should be writing celebrity articles for Vogue yourself.
Lovely job, Urban. Thank you!
Don't complain about what happens next – (Eladio to Julia)
Don't say I didn't warn you – (Blackmailer to Regina)
Arturo rages
Erick cowers
Montserrat reaches for her pills
Who's smirking now? Eladio, Franco, Nina and her Mini-Me
[At least the attack on David and Regina has driven them together.]

Thanks, Judy. I don't usually pick a title until I've finished writing the article but this one was screaming for it. For this series I'm shooting for lead photos that look like good book covers.
I'm disappointed that Nina didn't find out that Consuelo is pregnant. She's going to hit the ceiling. I will have a few choice words in Dunne's voice for that.
I just ordered two more of his books from Amazon. My Xmas present to myself.

NovelaMaven- True. At least the blackmail brought Regi and David together. It was nice to see them being civil with each other. Not sure what David was thinking (guess he wasn't) when he tried to kiss Regina, but she avoided it and didn't make a big deal about it, so that was good.
Great recap UA! I got home so late from work I was trying to make something to eat and listen/watch, so especially appreciative of all the conversations.
The only time you can really cheer for Eladio is how he is taking down Erick. What a doofus. Maybe Nina dropped him on his head as a baby? There is being lazy and spoiled and then there is no ability to even think.
As for Monse, spending all that money on what are obviously clothes or makeup...for someone who is hardly in her clothes, what a waste of spending. Not one iota of any emotion towards this person, sorry. maybe we can have her and Erick walking down the street and then our favorite old method of "Where's that bus" comes roaring down the street--two for one hit and off our screen. But the Erick character seems to be a star in this, so I guess we're stuck with him. Monse, dead woman walking if you ask me.
Wish the sacrifices these two smart kids are making were worth the parents they have. I'd like to tell them they would be better off just telling everyone to take a hike and go off and live their lives, but then we wouldn't have a show. It's just frustrating to see...and Eladio setting up his own son is stomach churning.

I don't know how much help it would be to know the further backstories of the two men. I'm guessing that Arturo had normal parents and Eladio somehow lost his in his teen years. Neither appears to have siblings but that's not unusual in TNs because to have to add more characters makes the story longer and more complicated.
We also don't know this information about Nina, so I'm wondering if there's something dirtier in her past that will come out later. I hope so; more DD fodder. ;)

Thanks for your recap UA. Your style and insight helped me figure out some things.
Wow, Erick is dumb and I'm looking forward to him getting caught. I'm bummed Connie is pregnant, not only because it will most likely keep Erick from getting kicked out of the house but also because he is too stupid to procreate.
Vivi, very interesting idea about Aldo but, like Diana, I think he's too much of a weasel to pull off something like blackmail.
And I'm with Daisy, I got sick realizing Eladio was setting David up.

Thanks, UA. Great title and recap.
50 pesos instead of 50 million pesos -- tee hee hee!
I'm wondering if Daniela is behind the blackmail, not for the money but for the kick of giving Regina acid indigestion. So far, Daniela is the only enemy that knows about Regina and David.
I'm a girl and I wouldn't want to pick up Conseulo's pee stick, not without a tissue. But Miguel picked it up without hesitation. What a hoot.

Don't you only pee on the end and then put the cap over where you peed? In any case, I wouldn't want to pick it up either, but the part peed on is not exposed. :)
Yeah, Aldo is likely just a scared, nosey weasel. But it would turn out to be so much more interesting if he had his own agenda too.

It was fascinating watching the only couple that seems to be totally in sync with each other-- Daniela and Nina. The mutual admiration for duping Arturo; the agreement that only a rich, upper-class guy was worth the time of day- obvio!; and that "you go, girl!" slap on the butt. Wow.
I doubt Franco hired any paparazzi because if he had any proof on Regina/David he'd be running straight to Eladio.
Erick's eyes were bugging out this entire episode and I loved it!
Montse could always flee to the US and get modeling work there but that would actually require her to work and Montse is a lazy ho who doesn't like to work. She also wants Consuelo's life.
Franco finally admitted to somebody that he's only with Gabriela to get in good with Eladio. Here's hoping she finds out so she can get down with Agustin.
Who will find out about Erick's betrayal first?
Agustin?
Miguel? (through hacking)
Arturo? (from Eladio)

Nope the stick isn't exposed, but you never how neat and tidy the user has been. It's a good thing I didn't go into nursing. :D
Super great Urban---I particularly liked---Nina smiled at her protégé's performance
and Erick's bucket of cold water for Consuelo was another particularly good line.
So Erick got a mere 50 pesos. That will teach him for throwing cold water on Consuelo.
Good point anon321 11:51PM
Diane---I think that Montse is very attractive. As I said much earlier, I have a weakness for her hair style and so yes, quite alluring I would say. Just her looks mind you, not her character.
Tofie---Franco is a punk---I say a young piss-ant punk. The FF button is often mentioned. I think of that every time I see him.
Daisynjay---Montse a dead woman walking. ITA.

I'm sure Miguel grabbed the clean end.
Consuelo doesn't deserve to be stuck with Erick. He treats her badly but I doubt he'd treat any other woman any better. Someone made the observation the other day that Monserrat is too much like Nina and I think that's on the money. She has prostituted herself for Eladio's dinero. She doesn't know what love is. And neither does Nina.
None of the "children" in this story had any good parents except possibly for Francisco. Franco was raised in Eladio's household so he saw everything David saw. We don't know about Gabriela, and Consuelo was the daughter of a whore who was transferred to an orphanage. Miguel had a wicked stepmother and a mostly absentee father. Narcissistic mother for Erick, Regina, and Daniela and the same absentee father. Both of Joshua's parents are MIA.
All I can say is that I hope I get some of the big reveal episodes.

As to who will be the first to know about Erick's betrayal, my guess will be Augustin and Miguel will figure it out at the same time. Augustin is more likely to go to Arturo first but since he is familiar with Arturo's blindness about his family he's likely to wait for evidence.
What will be interesting is Nina's reaction. We can predict Arturo's, which will be a normal reaction to the betrayal of a son. Nina will probably find some way to blame someone else, not that Arturo will buy it.

Vivi, ITA with your assessment of Nina and her mini-me. They are the couple in sync and so pleased with one another. Their smirks as they continue to dupe Art are sickening.
And it would be great if Aldo had another motive. Since the Ratt isn't bright and we all question how much longer she will live, if she does die, the writers would get kudos for having Aldo go rogue and blackmail. As he is now, it seems he find some money and hide somewhere.

Honestly, I would like nothing better than for Erick to slip up and expose his own sorry ass. He has no funding to try and buy someone off to take the hit and get fired. Eladio's whole point in this is to not only take Erick down for sleeping with Montse, but to do a GOTCHA to Arturo that he showed his son to be a freaking idiot. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't gleefully blow the whistle somehow.

I'm sure he wants to. However, I'm hoping that either Miguel or Augustin figures this out ASAP and tells Arturo before Eladio can.
Urban--Two nights in a row. You are a supergirl. (Sorry I didn't have a chance to thank you or comment on YoNo last night, so a double thank you here.)
Haven't quite finished the recap or comments, but it's getting late, so here goes.
Doesn't Eladio think that by destroying Arturo through his kids (dirt Franco is supposedly digging up and using Erick) might end up doubling back to hurt David and Franco? Or maybe he thinks that would be stooping to low for Arturo, but not for him. Grrrr. These two should just be put in a locked room to shout and punch each other until they are bloody (but not dead).

Anita, great idea. We could put up a viewing window for the patio. Margaritas with chips and guacamole will be served while viewing. I need to see some real progress with Artie to be won over. Right now he's just a moon struck teen over the Julia thing and not the saviest businessman if he has had Erick as his "right hand" all this time. Eladio, FC or no, is just slime. Handsome slime, but slime.

I think Eladio is under the impression that he can get away with anything as long as he has enough dinero. He would probably have no qualms about killing any of the "children" if he has any way to benefit from it and that includes Franco and David.
Boy, UA--You are cold and calculating.
OTOH, Franco is only 50% his and Eladio only uses him anyway. Furthermore, he's still convinced (on the surface) that David is not his son, so I could see him sacrificing both of them on an altar of gold. That leaves him without an heir, though. Isn't that what most of these dynasties want? It's standard tn law in these stories, no? It's all about the children.
Meanwhile, I don't think MontseraT is a walking dead woman. If she kicks the bucket, a lot of controversy is removed. Better that she live and continue to complicate the lives of all the idiotic dolts.

Anita- For Eladio, it seems to be all about HIM, just like when he's getting intimate with the Ratt.
Thank you so much, Urban! Your recaps are always a work of art! I hope to go back and pick up comments which are always equally entertaining. I apologize for mentioning things that may have been discussed so I'll just state them quickly, plus, they're far from cerebral.
I'm feeling the Miguel creep factor more as someone mentioned yesterday. Neither one of them seem to have normal boundaries. Does she ever get pissed the way he just invades her space? I'm beginning to think he has a camera and mike installed in the bedroom and bathroom. His feelings for her are as inappropriate as his hovering and hanging around in what are supposed to be her private quarters. Erick IS a buffoon but I have to agree with him on not liking Miguel hanging around all the time. Sheesh!
Monserat has her own version of a metiche male friend in a weird symbiotic attachment to her.
Erick. Big Dummy. Loved the look on his face when he saw his windfall had blown away. Good for the idiot! Consuelo. Pobrecita, having a baby for that dope.
Hope Gabriela finds out about that slutcake so called Secretary Franco has.
Finally. Why doesn't Dani just walk around in her panties. It would be easier.
Thanks, Urban

Lila- Dani did just walk around in her panties (that she calls pajamas) and Art yelled at her about putting on clothes when she's wandering around the house and on the grounds. This is her interpretation of being clothed.
Montserrat is a dead woman walking because she's playing Montenegro vs Gomez Luna and will get caught up in the crossfire. The question is who will do away with her...Erick or Eladio?

Eladio, because he would have no fear. Erick is short on scruples but he'd be afraid of getting caught. Arturo would definitely let him take his punishment, but Nina would not if she were intelligent enough to figure out how to help him out of that jam.
