Mi Fortuna Es Amarte #72 6/7/22: Dead To Rights


Viewerville is barely able to watch as Olga whispers her intentions into the sleeping Vicente's ears: she's going to convince him that this child of hers is really his and not that of either Simba or Adrian.  (Oh woe is we....)

Chole is shocked...shocked...to hear that Natalia caught La Vulga de  Olga in bed with Chente doing the down and dirty and telling the vulgar wench that he luuuhhhhvvvved her, and that she drove him crazy.  Even though Chole swears that in all this time Chente never responded to a single one of her attempts to seduce him.  Nata remembers that when she first came to the neighborhood Vulga constantly complained to Nata about getting close to Chente as if she and he had something together before she entered the picture.  She tells Chole it's useless to deny it any longer.  He is actually worse than Adrian because he knew what she'd been through and he took advantage of her knowing all this.  Chole insists there has to be some explanation.  Nata says that Adi already explained but she refused to believe it: Vulga confessed to him that she and Chente had an affair while he was married to Lucia; Chente had made all sorts of promises to her.  Chole says that's all a total lie.  She wasn't blind; she saw what she saw and it's apparent that they've been together for a long while.     


Regina, Omar, Andrea, and Jose Jose are discussing how Nata is staying the night(?) in the boarding house and is terribly upset, just like when she learned that their daddy had abandoned them and run off with another woman.  Regi insists that something really horrible obviously happened at Chente's house.  

Chole then has an opportunity to share her problems with Gustavo thinking she'd cheated on him and is pregnant with someone else's baby. Nata swears that Tavo loves her immensely.  "--Then why does he doubt me?"    The wedding is off.  Men are just untrusting and untrustworthy! They hug and commiserate with each other.  

Meanwhile, at Constanza's, Claudio has come home 3--make that 5 or 6 sheets to the wind, aka drunk as a skunk and in a hell of a funk supposedly all because of Tavo's predicament with Chole.  Connie overhears him talking to Teresa and demands an explanation.  "--Chole is pregnant and for whatever reason, Tavo is convinced the kid isn't his!" Connie is adamant that the baby cannot be Tavo's after all the doctors agreed he was incapable.  And, of course, Tavo was a big stupid fool to get involved with the whore-bitch-witch. She tells Tere to stop defending the slut and that life has a way of putting everyone in their proper place.

Connie races off to her bedroom and then bawls that how dare the Fates gave Chole a baby and not her!  "Gustavo cannot learn that I was lying to him all his life!!"

Nata goes to Andi's room and apologizes to her girls for not being the perfect example of a woman being able to reconstruct her life after falling as low as one could.  The girls insist she is their heroine.  She says she allowed herself to be fooled another time by a two-timing man:  Olga and Chente!  "--They are lovers!" Andi claims she never doubted something like that was the case.  She wishes she could start over again now but she cannot.  She is falling to pieces.  

The next morning Magos enters Chente and Nata's room expecting to see Nata there, but nopers!  It's Olga and her ugly, maniclawed nails petting Chente's chest.  "--What is this??!!  Vicente!  What is the meaning of this???  What is this woman doing in your bed???"  He looks over and it's UNHOLY SPIT!!  All the while Ms. Mexico's Most Innocent and Misled MIss is holding the covers over her as if she's just doing what came naturally.  Chente asks like an equally innocent dunce what she's doing there.  "--You asked me to stay with you here.  Magos doesn't buy the innocent   "I'm so embarrassed that you found us like this" act one bit!  "--You are a shameless, barefaced (and currently bare-assed) insolent liar!!"  Suddenly little Benji is racing toward the door.  Whoops!  Magos sends him to put on his school uniform. She tells Chente they're going to have a talk once this "woman" has gone! 

Once Magos is gone Chente doesn't have the sense to put some clothes on or to tell La Vulga maybe to get the F out of his bed.  Nooooooooopers.  He sits there asking what she's doing there (buck-ass nekkid) and doesn't seem to have the decency to feel indecent, let alone to claim that Olga is.  She innocently says she was there at his request and that they made love together.  He insists nothing went on between them last night.  She says she knows that he had tipped quite a few tragos but not so much that he shouldn't remember!  He finally gets angry and jumps out of bed, calling her really sick.  She asks what he means.  "--Last night you kissed me.  You brought me here to your room and you made love to me."  (This begs the question why in all this time nobody has insisted the girl is as nutty as a jar of Peter Pan Extra Crunchy...and diabolically delusional???  Do Magos' opinions count for nothing because she's old??)  

At the same time, Conz has come to visit Tavo in his current bedroom/office.  She tells him she pities him.  It seems that Chole was either crueler than she or maybe just more astute.  Either way, he feels like a dope and Conz is very eager to keep it that way.  She tells him that she should have done the same thing Chole did.  However, she never did because she would rather be bitter than lie about a child's true paternity.  "-- I lost my life's companion...I hope you know now how unfair you were to me.  But, I don't hold a grudge.  If you need anything you can count on me.  (Viewerville agrees that she's the last shoulder he cares to cry on.)

Back in Chente's room, he's dressing and she's in her robe insisting he "made her his" and he tells her to stop lying already.  "--As drunk as I might have been I'd never be drunk enough to do that with you  I would never cheat on Natalia, not with you or anybody."  She scolds him for lying about not remembering anything.  He says if he doesn't remember anything then it didn't happen.  (Now, when she claims she's preggers and it has to be his, nobody will doubt her story and force her to get a DNA test, right?)  Then why is she waking up nude in his bed?  Because, she did it to lie and make him think that something did happen.  She yells back that all those things about driving him crazy and that she's his, and all those kisses really meant nothing? "-- How convenient!"  "--Sorry, Olga, but it isn't working!"

Regi gives J2P2 hell for what Chente did to her mother.  How dare he try to defend his brother that way!  Lorenzo watches this from the sidelines and snickers.  

Chente snaps his fingers at her.   "--Get out of my room,  get your things and leave this house.  It's over."  She says no way is she leaving his house and how dare he treat her this way after making her his woman!  How dare he try to make her feel cheap! "--You used me for a couple of hours just to get your jollies!!"  His head hurts for sure and she ain't makin' it feel any better.  (Wow! So it dawns on him that maybe she can push a rape charge on him if he kicks her out on her lyin' ass?)

Lorenzo talks JoJo into shaking and making like best friends.  FF>>FF>>

Juanga tries to defend his brother and Nata nearly bites his head off  Chente cheated on her with Olga. .  She tells him she saw the two of them in the bed together. Period.  End of story.  

Andi is also telling Adrian the news.  (What better medicine than that, right?)  And she's outraged because she warned her mother from the beginning that he was no good.  Adrian says he'd love to be able to smash the guy's face in if he could.  The guy did the same thing as he did to her mother, the difference being that he really does love her.  The two of them plan another party get-together as a plot to return to being the family they once were.

Juanga lights into Chente about him and Olga and two-timing.  "--Stop lying about it, bro! For once accept your blame!  Natalia caught you with your fingers in the cookie jar!  You were in the act, bro!  

Elias walks in on Andi and Adi.  She ignores Elias's greeting and walks out the door.  Elias says he hopes it's a boy because, as a Hadad, he's got big plans for the little bugger.  Also, he's quite aware of the big wedding plans.  He's going to organize a proper dinner for Omi to ask for her hand in marriage.  [Pedido de mano]

Chente insists he never would nor did cheat on Natalie.  Juanga tells him to hang it up; it's over and Nata never wants to see or hear from him again.  "--What part don't you understand?  She caught you in right in the middle of the act, dude!  She's rented a room at Chole's.  And what she saw broke her heart to pieces!"  

Chole and Nata continue to commiserate.  FF>>FF>>

Juanga gets after La Vulga for doing the deed with Chente when she knew he and Nata were an item.. She swears he practically begged her to stay with him.  And, since she's always had a thing for him, she believed him.  She whines that she doesn't want problems with Natalia because she's been really decent towards her.  (And butter wouldn't melt in her mouth....)  Chente told her that Nata wasn't around and wouldn't know any different.  She got all horny and let herself get carried away.  Please forgive her, Juanga.  Just then Magos re-enters the house.  "--You're still here?  I was quite clear with you.  I asked you to get the hell out of this house!"  "-- I am not going to leave unless I first speak to Chente."  "--You are a whore, a viper who wraps herself at all costs around my grandsons!   You are a slut!  Don't expect a thing from me.  Just get your stuff and then start walking the street!  

Juanga tries to tell Magos that Chente has the final say.  He gave her the right to stay in the house, after all.  Magos pushes him away.  "--Don't you defend her!  But, so if this witch won't leave then I am leaving!"  She pushes Vulga out of her way and goes up to pack.  Vulga smiles to herself as she watches Magos go up.

Tere walks in on Nata and Chole at the rooming house.   Nata begins to explain that she and Chente are quits just as he walks in on them all.  She sends the others away and has it out with Chente in the kitchen.  Chole first gives her two and a half cents worth:  "--How could you throw away what you had with this marvelous woman for a roll in the hay with Olga??"  Tere and Chole are both incensed at this point - and Chole calls him shameless when he insists nothing happened.. Once they leave, he again tries to swear his fidelity.  

Nata shouts at him for trampling all over her heart after knowing what Adrian did to her.  He swears he wouldn't and couldn't do the deed with anybody but her.   She goes on about what happened with Adi and her BFF cheating on her so she's not so dumb and won't believe him. "--I saw it with my own eyes!   I S.A.W. it!!! You cheated on me, Vicente!"

Connie confides in Clod that she's only trying to calm the doubts her family has about her and her intentions.  She's going to get back with Tavo and then start going on about adoption.  She's not forgotten about Andrea's child at all and Clod is going to help her get it.  The kid is hers!  She'll die before letting Andrea snatch away her baby!  

Elias informs Samia that he agrees to the wedding and intends to have a formal dinner to have Omi ask for Andrea's hand in marriage.

Nata continues on hysterically about her father having another family; then Adi leaving her for her BFF, and now him, cheating on her with Olga.  He says he simply feels ignorant because he cannot understand how he could have fallen into Olga's clutches that way.   She now believes Olga and that they had a close relationship, that he cheated even on Lucia.  He really gets angry at that and says he NEVER EVER cheated on Lucia!  EVER!  Nata slaps him at this point.  You lie and you are worthless!  He says he knows how badly he disappointed her and that she is the last person to deserve it, but he has no idea how it could have happened.  Now she sympathizes with Olga and how he continually snubbed her when all she wanted was a crumb of his attention.  She calls him worse than Adrian.  She will never forgive him, because she cannot stand a man who diminishes any woman who faces him.  She will never forgive him, ever.  She knows her worth even if he doesn't.  His lies hurt worse than what he did to her.  

Meanwhile, Chole has told Tere she's pregnant but Tavo won't believe it's his kid.  She plans on proving that the baby is his.  (Yay!  Does she know about DNA tests?)  Just then, the man who's picking up the meals that Nata cooked arrives.  He seems taken with Teresa.  (Note to Clod:  your boots are made for walkin'!)

Valentina tells Tavo that he's got his head on backwards for disbelieving Chole.  He tells her to mind her own bidnez.

Regi and JoJo visit Adi in the hospital.  He's got his release.  They agree to go to the manse, order out, and celebrate.

Chente says he'll accept the consequences of his actions (oi vey!) but he's not giving up till he finds out exactly what really happened and how it could have happened at all.  He isn't ready to lose her.  He loves her too much.  Well, right now the most important things in her life are her children and her job.  She just wants to make sure she can come for her and Regis's things when he and Olga are not there.  Of course.....  

And, just as Chente's walking through the lounge area, Juanga arrives.  He tells Chente to get over to the house chop-chop, because if his latest snatch doesn't leave, Magos is packing and going back to the pueblo.  Chente will, but he cannot understand how any of this happened.  Juanga tells him to man up and accept that Nata caught him red-handed.  It's more important that he gets over to the house before Abue and his little lady each other alive.

 



Comments:
Jardinera, thank you very much for this fun and snarky recap of another crazy episode.

Well, sorry to say, but it looks like Nata and Chente are quits. After what Natalia saw and heard there is absolutely no way in Hades she could ever get over it and forgive him. So, will poor Chente pair up with anybody? Olga is willing, maybe Olga, but if not her then who?

Right.

I don't remember seeing Chantal Andere in anything before, but I have to admit they got the right actress for the part of Constanza. She plays cold, stern, entitled, bitter and vengeful to perfection. Even her eyes look pitiless.
That scene of her sitting behind his desk, waiting for him to wake up hung over, was perfect.

Another I just looked up is Michelle Vieth as Fernanda Diez Acuña. Wow! The picture of her at Wikipedia shows a much better looking woman than Fernanda. Unless this has been a setup for a makeover the crew has not been presenting her in the best light.

Judy! You should be here Judy, I think you would enjoy venting about the absolute nonsense so absolutely rampant in this novela.

Andy
 

Jardinera, this was excellent. It's Olga and her ugly, maniclawed nails is a keeper!

I've said this many times already but the horrible name-calling that happens here would be a major deal-breaker for me. You never forget this sort of thing.

However, we know that Chente couldn't love Vulga in a million years. What has me baffled is whether she ever thought about how she would handle life if he did marry her. She would not be able to hide her abuse of Benjamin forever. That would come to light eventually, especially if Magos is still in the house. She has never expressed interest in having children of her own, either. Nor would she treat the one under construction appropriately. For now it's a means to an end.

Magos can't leave the house. That would put Benjamin in danger. He needs to tell his father what Vulga has been doing to him and Magos needs to back him up. I wish his uncles would witness the abuse because they'd throw her out buck naked.

On to the Haddads...

I do not think Andrea knows the sex of the baby. She certainly could know by now. What would happen if the baby is a girl? It probably wouldn't matter to Samia, but would Elias disown Omar for that? Would she divorce him over this if it happened? We were never told this, but I'm guessing she came from the nouveau riche so probably has money of her own. Thus far Constanza doesn't seem to have shown her crazy in front of her but there's sufficient time left for that.

Constanza is completely unhinged. Even Claudio sees that.

Lorenzo looks too feminine. If a guy with that hair color grows it long he should look like Fabio Lanzoni. Which means he should look like a Viking straight out of Wagner's operas. Lorenzo does not have that potential, so he should have no chance to score with Regina (who still needs to lose those childish barrettes).

Need to get to work on Rey.
 

Thank you, Jardinera, for catching all of the hysterical craziness of last night in your “snarkalicious” style. Good mention about a DNA test in the future.

The only one with a fully functional brain in the house is Granny Magos. I hope she stays for Ben’s sake.

Maybe this experience will start to wake Chente up. Someone needs to shake him hard before he overreacts in some sort of stupid way like he did before when he gave in to Olga to come and live at the house. Maybe they need to remind him that women have used pregnancy to get a ring on their finger from the time there were rings for fingers. . . or maybe just fingers.

My favorite scenes: Natalia telling a bewildered Chente that she SAW him and Olga doing it with her own two eyes and Chente’s reluctance to believe something so horrid to him. Now we know why Susana González and David Zepeda are getting the big bucks. ; )

Andy, this is the first time I have seen Chantal Andere in anything, also, and I agree that she was perfectly cast.

Can’t wait until tonight!
 

Jardinera, Thank you, Amiga , for yet another snappy recap. I recorded it while I watched Amor Val ( pretty good) on Telemundo.

Regarding Chantal, the first time I saw her was my second telenovela about 14_years ago Amor Real . She played the housekeeper of Manuel whom she tried to seduce many times and finally succeeded when Manuel got very drunk ( see a pattern here) and decided to take a bath. She seized the day and climbed into the tub with him.

Lots of hungover guys in this episode ..Chente, Tavo and perpetually drunk Claudio. Lessons learned !? Probably not.
 

Jardinera, your wry wit and snark was just what this depressing episode needed. Fabulous recap.

The fallout was instantaneous and explosive “(Oh woe is we....)” said it all.

“barefaced (and currently bare-assed) insolent liar!” was sublime but my favorite was “ugly, maniclawed nails”. So many savory lines.

Jarifa, “Natalia telling a bewildered Chente that she SAW him and Olga doing it with her own two eyes and Chente’s reluctance to believe something so horrid to him” encapsulated perfectly the seemingly impossible issues that need to be overcome for a reconciliation. Chente being obtuse, stubborn and stupid seems almost as egregious as what he is supposed to have done. Put two and two together man. It's obvious there is nothing wrong with Natalia’s vision. So what would have caused you to do what you are accused of? Instead of petulantly denying, think man.

Connie (cold, stern, entitled, bitter and vengeful with pitiless eyes thank you Andy) played Tavo like a Stradivarius.

How to clear out the house in one fell swoop. I agree Urban “Magos can't leave the house” because Benja (and we) just cannot take any more of her abuse.

Andrea couldn’t resist with the “I told you so”. I really thought she had turned the corner.

Tavo is trash. Sorry but any further feet or ankle kissing should be done by him to Chloe to forgive him.

“Lessons learned !? Probably not” made me laugh Susanlynn – thank you.

I first saw Chantal in Destilando Amor which also starred Sergio Sendel. She was bad there but here she is horrid.

Jardinera, thank you relating all the sordid events but doing so with a lighter hand. What a mess.

Judy, I’m evoking your mantra that “it’s only a story” as this is quickly being just too painful to watch. Sending you sunshine and hugs today.

Diana
 

Hey, all!! Up very late doing this one. Gawd , talk about cringe worthy!! I was thinking that the fool deserves every bit of scorn he gets from family for keeping this sicko female in his home knowing what a threat she represented and what a mental case she has been by barging in continually and smart mouthing people. They totally ignore Magis and WHY??!—jardinera654
 

JudyB, I hope you got through this cringe fest safely enough?—Jardinera654
 

Judy, I hope you're watching. We're in for more craziness in the last four weeks.

I first saw Chantal in her earliest adult role in 1991's Madres Egoistas where she played the orphaned stepdaughter of the the protagonista. This was my first novela. Her character was a nice girl.

In this one she looks like she starved herself to get to the Victorian Spinster look.
 

Jardinera, ITA about Chente. Magos should leave and take Ben with her de vacaciones until Olga is out of the picture. He might like growing up in a small town. (I couldn’t resist)
 

Chantal I first remember from Amor Real which is probably on VIX. I first saw Sergio in Amarte es mi Pecado.whose remake is up next after this ends. It
 

Jardinera654
 

Thank you, Jardinera, so many people deceiving the good guys!

Chente really deserves to be stuck with Olga. He invited her to live there and knew she was always after her. They can have a loveless, sexless marriage. And JuanGa is hopefully disgusted with Olga. Just worry about Benja.

So both girls may now work to get their parents reunited. In their eyes(Andrea’s anyway)Chente is so much worse than their father. Still hoping Omar will put two and two together.

I hope Teresa does end up with someone else. Can’t believe she’d rather be married to Claudio than live alone.

Connie has gone off the deep end. I hope someone realizes it before these two babies are born. Three counting Olga’s-maybe she can have that one!

I think what upsets me is the good guys just go along with what’s happening and don’t question it. But that’s what makes us keep tuning in!
Liz

 

O/T

There was a promo for La herencia last night so that is coming muy pronto as well. What it will replace TBD.

Diana
 

(((Diana)))) I am happy if I gave you a laugh. We need some laughs as thus tale gets grimmer and grimmer.
 

Susanlynn, this is so dark and dismal, all laughs are greatly appreciated! Keep 'em coming :)

Diana
 

Okay, Chente is dumber than a box of rocks. No galans in sight in this show filled with either corrupt or weak men except maybe 2xJose and Omer. Nat is better off moving on and focusing on her business and her family .

Having a faithful, loving responsible ,strong , protective mate is the blessing of a lifetime. Is it getting harder to find a good guy ?

What message are they trying to send with Hair boy's wardrobe ? Spoiled Rich boy? Model wannabe? Influencer? Urban chic? I prefer 2xJose even with his e er present cap.

 

Spoiled rich kid. No doubt about it.
 

Gotta agree that Hair Bit is a spoiled rich kid— anybody remember Richy Rich?? All grown up and having gone over to the dark side!! —Jardinera654
 

Lol! Hair Boy!—Jardinera654
 


 

I got a big kick out of Hair guy throwing out a little English .." Not Cool." I like scarves , but this guy wears Them like part of his costumes . I think he covets Reg's teeny barrettes.


I also get a giggle when I hear people say " pppeppe-ppeppe"

I wish Andrea would just...shut. up. Just wait until she finally finds out exactly how despicable her dear pappy is .

I can hardly look at Olga who went from trashy, shallow, and amoral to truly evil and BSC in her obsession for Chente. Repulsive and creeoy.
 

Well, I am sure Chente and Nat will end up with a HEA, so how is Change going to prove he didnt know what was happening ? Will Abuela find Olgas bottle of knockout drops ? Or will Olga brag about how clever she was and someone will overhear? ?


Connie is crazy .

 

Thanks, Jardinera. You keep the laughs coming for this tale of shame.

So everybody believes Chente would hit the sheets with Olga in his own bed and let her stay there all night while Benja and Magos are there and Nat could be back any minute? Ay caray! I feel sorry for the poor sap.

The case for Nat to get back with Adrian because Chente's cheating is worse than Adrian's because Chente knew she'd been cheated on before is ludicrous. Cheating is cheating. Period.

I'm betting Adrian is the daddy of Olga's kid. That would shut Andi right up.
 

Connie is crazy and Tavo is thick headed— Jardinera654
 

I hope it is Simba’s kid and that Connie gets stuck raising it. Be careful what you wish for! Bwahahaha—Jardinera654
 

"I hope it is Simba’s kid and that Connie gets stuck raising it. Be careful what you wish for! Bwahahaha"

Jardinera, that's just evil. Even Simba's spawn would deserve a better start in life than that!

But it would serve her right.   :-)

Andy
 

And I am thinking " that poor baby with either Adrian or Simba as a sperm donor nd Olga as a mother ....what a gene pool to be in." Uff
