Speaker 1 (00:01):
Single the Lamasca Princes Amida bitch previously on the Princess
of South Beach. Oh right, My twin Maria del Garman,
(00:23):
decided to usurp my fabulous life after I Gloria Caldon
tragically died in a boat accident. Boo who. But after
meeting my family the Calderons, Maria del Carmin read a
mysterious letter that she found in my diary, which she
opened without my permission. By the way, and the very
mysterious letters said, dear Gloria, I hope you're doing well
(00:49):
and are still receiving my letters. I can't even imagine
how many have failed to reach your hands. But if
you're reading this, then you need to know that your
entire life has been a lie. Gloria. I know this
is hard to believed. The people who raise what the
people who raise you are murderers. You are not a Caleton.
(01:11):
You are my daughter. I still remember the day your
mother told me she was pregnant. It was the happiest
day of our lives. I had always dreamt of having
a daughter, so imagine how happy I was when your
mother told me she was pregnant with tweens. We're gonna
(01:33):
have tweens? Are you sure? Babies? See you're going to
be a double dad. My belly is going to be
I'm gonna live like an overstop t Well, then give
me a side of what I'm only because I'm gonna
eat you up much a little. This is a miracle,
(01:58):
a double miracle. Two girls pile. What are you gonna
do about your job? Louisa is not a particularly understanding person,
and her father is even worse. Do you think they'll
fire you for being pregnant? I hope not, but I
never know what to expect from the colors m But
I tell the Lisa Monday and we'll see what happens.
(02:19):
But don't worry, you See, the most important thing is
we're going to be her family. In those days, your
mother and I had just arrived in the United States.
We were poor, but full of hope for a better
future for our little family. I work in a factory
(02:40):
backing fruits, and your mother was working as a maid
in the house of Don, the richest and most powerful
men in all of Miamia. Louisa, Louisa, Uh water, bring
(03:04):
me water, Louisa? What happened to your hair? I bleached it?
You said I would look better blond. No, I said
you would look better if I was blind. Well, because
it's what are you wearing? Man invited me to a
(03:25):
fancy dinner tonight on my dime. I'm sure you couldn't
have married him more useless person. He's not useless, he's useless.
I gave him my most successful factory, and what did
he do? He left it in ruins. As if that
(03:46):
weren't bad enough, the two of you still haven't given
me a grandson, an air, I'm not getting any younger.
You know, I'm going to die waiting for you to
fulfill the only task your qualified form. Don't worry, Pappa,
you'll see soon. Papa, when are you going to see
(04:10):
the doctor? Why would I go and see another doctor
so he can tell me what I already know that
I am dying of disappointment surrounded by people who do
nothing but spend my money. Is there anything else I
can do for you, Papa? No, there's nothing you can
do for me. You're useless. Leave me alone with my regret.
(04:36):
It's better company anyway, I never mind. Finally, where were you?
He was preparing somempty for your father's Lisa. How long
(04:58):
does it take to boil water? He almost died of
a coffin thing. Well, you were taking your sweet time.
I will try to be more efficient with boiling in
the future. Enough with your excuses, I already did your
job for you are now I'm late for my dinner.
Bring me my red boots, stupid maid. Why is good
(05:19):
help so hard to find? I hear your go senoritas,
what you're useless? I didn't say the maroon boots. I
said the red boot. It's my fault. I will bring
you the correct ones to do everything myself. Oh that's better.
(05:45):
The skirt looks better with the red boots, don't you see?
He looked pretty. We have dinner reservations at the most
popular restaurant in all of South Beach. Wow, and that's lovely.
I hope you both have a great night, and I
hope you in The other girls will be so jealous
when they see me in this dress and looking like this.
I'm gonna drive him crazy, but he's not going to
(06:08):
be able to resist. I see, Cecy, you look very beautiful. Also,
you're and will finally be able to conceive that grandson.
My father constantly demands a woman's job is to be
a mother, Luisa, When are you going to get pregnant? Louisa,
your face looks like a Picasso And I don't mean
it in a good way, Louisa. It's not like I'm
(06:29):
not trying. Being a Mother's the only thing I've ever
wanted to do in my life. Why no, don't be
so hard on him, Senorita. You already know that he's diseased,
as Kim mover and who asked you for your opinion? Believable?
Enjoy your dinner, Senorita. And one there's there's something I
(06:50):
wanted to ask you. Don't tell me you need another
day off to go to the doctor. I knew that
if I gave you one day off, it would become
a problem. No, no, no, no, no, I don't need
another day of the reason I had to go to
the doctor was that when I'm pregnant. See that's great.
(07:12):
See my husband and I are just so excited to
have a family. And I'm more than excited because we
see see, yeah, I get it. Why no, I have
to go. I'm already late for my dinner. See Anna,
Please don't don't mention this whole pregnancy thing to my father.
(07:34):
The last thing I need is another example of how
I've failed him. You see, Luisa and Esteban have been
trying for months to conceive the grandson, done so desperately wanted.
Louisa had always been a difficult person, but with the
niece of your mother's pregnancy, she went crazy with jealousy.
(07:56):
Excuse a harsh language, but that woman is a lovea
um grazies. But I'm not hungry right now. Don't be
ridiculous if this is about your diet. I already told
you you look beautiful, but ye see my Besides, if
(08:18):
you lose any more weight, the wedding dress won't fit. No,
it's not that I feel dizzy. Do you want me
to call that to Constantino again? Oh God, no, no,
thank you. I just want to be alone. I have
a lot of stuff in my head and I need
some time to think. M Me. I know this is
all overwhelming, the accident, the wedding, all the pressure your
(08:42):
father puts on you. But you know you can always
count on me if you need to talk or whatever.
I love you, Mamma, I'll tell us there yet to
bring you some souper Thank you. Now, rest me a
more ascancy. Okay, back to the letter. Excuse the harsh language,
(09:05):
but that woman is a bit of a bitter lady anyway.
After months of fail attempts, Luisa and Steven had finally
decided to get fertility test done to see if there
was a problem. Excuse the harsh language, but that woman
(09:31):
is a bit of a bitter lady anyway. After months
of fail attempts, Luisa and Stepan had finally decided to
get fertility test done to see if there was a problem.
How would you like to drink? I'm very flattered, but
(09:53):
I'm married. Yeah, I'm the waiter. Yes, don't get fresh
with me. Okay, bring me a martini dirty, very very
dirty season womanya, forgive me. I'm going to be a
(10:15):
little late the traffic. Is it safe? One? Very very
dirty martin? Oh did that handsome man over by the
bar send me this? No, man, it's literally the drink
you order like thirty seconds ago. Oh yes, if he
didn't send it? Why is he looking straight at me?
(10:36):
He's not looking at you. He's looking at me. How
dare you? Why on earth would he be looking at you?
Because he's my boyfriend. Sorry for making you wait again,
sorry for making you wait again. Please, I don't want
to fight. I got the test results. I'm terrified. I
(10:58):
got my results too. I didn't want to open them
by myself. I didn't want to open them by myself.
Me neither. I'm scared. What if it's me? I knew
I shouldn't have taken so much quick trim. I'm sure
everything is going to be fine. Let's read them at
the same time. Sterile? Did they have to write a percentage?
(11:26):
Maybe a crowded restaurant wasn't the best place to do this. Well,
it's all we expected. But at least now we know
why we can't get pregnant. See, it's better to know.
I know how much you wanted to be a mother.
I'm so sorry. I don't know how I'm going to
break it to my father with the news that they
were both sterile. Louisa would have to tell her father
(11:49):
that she would never be able to give him the
air he demanded. Maybe it wouldn't have matter if I'm
going to bed, but I wanted to check on you first.
How are you feeling? I'm much better, Gracias, mamma, I
give me. I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Oh,
(12:16):
she feels just like yesterday you were kicking around in
my belly. I love you, Okay, I'll let you rest. Heyo,
What am I going to do? That's what we're all
dying to find out? Little Sis? What are you gonna do?
