Befriending The Tigress of Vengeance

Giacomo advised Laura that the best way to beat Isabela in her game is to go out of her way and befriend her, instead of open antagonism. He told her that by this means, she would be able to know what Isabela may be planning ahead to time.

Laura too advised Giacomo not to impose career decisions on his son, Tony. She advised him to allow Tony to follow his passion for music. She told him to encourage and help the young lad to be an accomplished musician.

Nati would never get tired of being suspicious that Orlando was involved with Gloria. Orlando would never get tired of denying any affair with Gloria. To settle the argument, Orlando proposed to her that she should prevent Lorenzo from getting in touch with Gloria for interview. Nati too asked Tony to push the résumé of Silvia favorably with Lorenzo.

Silvia was at Emperatriz garment workshop seeking information about how to get a loan when she saw that Conan was already in the ring with Titan. She excitedly told the factory girls that he was her cousin and they brought out a TV to watch the fight.

On seeing that Titan was gaining an upper hand over Conan, she quickly told the girls her plan, and they sew an emergency outfit like that of a masquerade to cover her face and body. She wore it and rushed to the venue of the fight to challenge Titan for the $3,000 Championship Prize.

Two cunning women, Empe refused to sign partnership agreement with Isabela until her lawyer read it. Isabela was disappointed that Empe did not trust her. Empe promised to return the Agreement to her next day.

Mimi was by the ringside to support Conan, so was Hercules as his coach. Nati was caught by Lorenzo while she was watching the fight on TV at her office. Lorenzo told her that Glory was more qualified than Silvia, because, she had a university degree. He however promised to look at Silvia resume later.

When Empe arrived at her workshop, she noticed every worker glued to the TV watching the fight, she also noticed that a clothing material was missing, and accused them of theft. No one confessed that the material was sewn for Silvia's masquerade attire for the fight with Titan.

After the victory of Titan over Conan, a new masked fighter arrived, to challenge Titan. Nobody knew that it was Silvia. With her superlative skill in martial arts and self-defense, she defeated Titan, employing also the combined tactic told her by Conan from Tony.

Giacomo brought the new model pictures of Alex to Lorenzo and he approved that Alex should take part in the upcoming photo shooting. When Orlando saw the pictures he thought that Alex was the latest gay lover of Giacomo, but Lorenzo told him not to pry his eyes into Giacomo's personal affairs.

Empe sent her son, Alex, to take the Agreement, after she had studied and signed it, back to Isabela. When he got to Isabela's suite, both were mutually attracted to each other. The natural tempter in her woke up, she told Alex to look the other way while she dresses up. Alex used the mirror to spy on Isabela while she was naked and dressing up.

Silvia fought and defeated Titan by utilizing the secret told her by Conan. She hit Titan on the left knee and gave him a pinfall. She was awarded the $3,000 Cash Prize. She was mysterious masked fighter whose real identity, nobody knows.

When Silvia got home, she told Hercules and Conan not to mourn their loss of the fight with Titan, that God has provided the needed $3,000 by other means. Meanwhile she had gone to confess the source and gave the money to Nati, instructing her to tell Hercules that it was a loan advance from her office.

The cunning game continued, as Laura followed Giacomo's advise and went to Isabela, telling her that she wanted to befriend her afresh, and that she should forgive her for her past 'sins'. An unusual friendship was struck between both of them, neither of them trusting each other. A case of once bitten, twice shy.

Silvia was shocked to see pictures of Alex, posing as a semi nude model in Lorenzo's hand. She told Lorenzo that Alex was her boyfriend. Silvia was upset that Alex was no longer confiding in her, because Alex never told her about his new adventures into modeling.

Invitation to Temptation

The swimming temptation was enough an invitation for Alex, He rushed like a bull to the China's shop. On getting to Isabela's suite in the hotel, he pounced on her like an hungry wild animal, sweeping aside her initial protestations and resistance. he practically 'mauled' her, she melted under his romantic ferocity, she succumbed under his aggressive emotional thrusts. She was 'conquered', was she?

In the midst of this romantic conquest, Lorenzo appeared, Isabela had to quickly hide Alex away in the bathroom, where Lorenzo could not know that he was around.

Lorenzo brought the final draft of the agreement on business partnership, to export textile designs to Europe through Isabela. He also used the opportunity to apologize to her of jilting her 8 years ago, and abandoning her for Laura. Isabela told him to forget about the past and move forward to the future. He didn't know that she had prepared a revenge plan packaged for him and Isabela.

As much as Lorenzo tried to shield his private visit to Isabela's suite, his noble gestures were thwarted by cunning Isabela. She came to spoil the dinner of Lorenzo with Laura, when she burst in on them at her restaurant, and expressed an hypocritical concern that Lorenzo never told her earlier in the afternoon, when he visited her in her suite that he would be coming for dinner at her restaurant, so that she could prepare her best specialty dish for them.

Lorenzo was dumbfounded, and this painted him in bad light before Laura, with probable insinuations that he was secretly dating Isabela. Laura was shocked and infuriated by this latest revelation.

This perfectly fell into the wicked schemes of Isabela to create disaffections and doubts, thereby breaking Lorenzo's marriage to Laura.

Isabella consolidated her revenge plans by calling Gloria on phone to tell her that she would get her the job of secretary at Lorenzo's Paracas Textile, in return for exclusive devotion and loyalty to her (Isabela). Orlando was suspicious about the phonecall that Gloria received and which suddenly changed her attitude. She became more loving and promised that she would no longer break up with Orlando, as she had been planning some few minutes ago before the phonecall.

Dangerous Desires, Risky Datings

Laura demanded that Alex should give her, her due respect and stop making passes at her. Giacomo was troubled that on the very first day that his son came to live with him, he was already in police custody, arrested with his girlfriend, Mimi, for vagrancy. Mimi shifted the blame for the police arrest on Tony, when Giacomo came to bail them.

After their release, Tony invited Mimi to come and watch his rock band play. He gave her a tickets for the show and asked her to bring her friends along when coming.

The first encounter of Laura and Alex was not exactly rosy. There seems to be much animosities and derision between them. Laura, without knowing it, had developed a queer romantic interest and attraction for Alex. She secretly desired and loved his muscular macho, bulging body out of his clothes.

Conán told Silvia of how, from a little boy, his father had always been tutoring and coaching him in self-defense, kick-boxing and martial arts, dreaming that one day, he would become the national champion. Later at the dinner table, Hercules confirmed to Silvia that Conán would face Titan, the defending champion, for the prize of $3,000.

During the photographic session, Alex was initially nervous and uncomfortable. The Photographer had to tell him to be more relax in order to show that he was truly photogenic. Laura never missed the opportunity to take a swipe at Alex telling him that modeling was not for dummies and was not a cheap profession.

Midway into the photographic session, the photographer asked if Alex had a swim suit, to which he said yes,, and stripped, leaving him semi nude. Laura gasped in shock and was entranced by the bulging nudity of Alex in swim suit. That was one memorable picture that would torment her emotions in the days to come, and would not go or fade away.

As Alex flexed his muscles, posing as a sex symbol before the camera, Laura bit her lips in romantic envy.

Giacomo unsuccessfully tried to convince his son, Tony, to take up modeling as a career, instead of the Pop Rastafarian culture.

At the end of the photographic session, Alex boasted and challenged Laura if she still doubted his modeling talent. Laura told him to wait for the pictures to come out first. later while been ferried by Laura back to the boutique, he showered romantic encomiums on her.

He teased her that her husband was very lucky to have a very beautiful woman as wife. He confessed that, it was a dream come true for him, since the day he saw her pose on the cover page of a popular society magazine. Silvia told Tony of her need for a personal fitness trainer, he assured her that was his area of expertise.

Arrogant Emperatriz boasted and threw Silvia out of her house, when she visited her to plead the case of a hapless customer. She told Silvia that only fools become victims of financial misfortunes, and they should be made to pay for their folly. She threatened that she would make Alex to break his relationship with her.

Conán told Mimi about his upcoming fight with Titan, but she warned him that Titan was a cheat who doesn't play by the rules. She also requested him to escort her to the pop bash at Tony's house. Conan wondered what Mimi could be doing hanging around a 'Ruffian' like Tony.

Lorenzo reminded Orlando that since he inherited the textile factory from his father, he had never had a challenge that could not be surmounted. So, he requested Orlando to look critically to the business proposals of Isabela and report back to him.

Orlando canceled his night-time rendezvous with Nati, because he already had another date with Isabela, who was trying her best to seduce him to lower his alertness and scrutiny of her partnership deal with Lorenzo's. He made Isabela to understand that he was an associate and legal adviser to Lorenzo, with 3% stake in the Paracas textile.

Isabela told him of how deeply in love she was with Lorenzo, and how Laura suddenly appeared on the eve of their engagement and snatched Lorenzo from him. She told him that she has matured over the last 8 years to forget about vengeance.

Later when Orlando drove her home, he made amorous advances towards her, but she resisted, telling him not to misinterpret their business dinner for a romantic date. After

Tony was able to reveal the secrets of Titan to Conán. He told him that Titan has so many nails fixed to his left knee, and that he should kick that place to bring him down as his weakness. Conan told him that he was a clean fighter and would not engage in dirty trick in the ring with Titan. He left and Mimi followed him after giving Tony a light kiss on the cheek.

Conán told Silvia and Nati about the secret tales told him by Tony of the weak point of Titan in battle. They warned in not to trust in that tactics on the ring. When Nati suggested taking Silvia's Resume to work, Silvia doubted her chances with Lorenzo, after the technical knock down she gave him a few days ago.

Laura tried to persuade her husband, Lorenzo, from doing business with Isabela, because she suspected that Isabela returned for vengeance and a pound of flesh for the odious past between them. Lorenzo would not hear of it because, he thought Isabela was of noble intention. As soon as Lorenzo fell asleep, laura opened her bedside drawer and brought out the nude photographs of Alex, and began to seductively kiss them.

Silvia tried to alert Alex about Sonia, one of his 'students' at the gym. Alex assured her that no one would 'steal' him from her.

Desperate Greed and Ambition

In Lorenzo's wife, chapter 4, Silvia overheard when Isabela demanded that she should be sacked by Empe. She pleaded with Empe not to sack her, but Empe waved her away. After her departure, Empe felt bad that she had to sack Silvia in order to woo Isabela.

Laura had to send Tony and Mimi out of her company, when she met them quarreling. She said that their attitude could drive her customers away. She was later surprised to know that the boy was Giacomo's son.

Lorenzo was gisting with Nati about his birthday party and how Orlando came with fiancee, Gloria. He told Nati to alert him whenever Gloria calls.

Once again, Sonia and Alex met at the gym and she told him not to worry because, Laura was the opposite of Lorenzo, her husband, whom she was sure, would give him employment as a model at the boutique.

In a heart-to-heart talk, Laura confessed to Giacomo that she was taking contraceptive pills to avoid the embarrassment of pregnancy. She said she never wanted to, and Lorenzo did not know about this deception. Giacomo advised her to be truthful and tell her husband that she was not ready for pregnancy now. Laura expressed her fear, that if she told Lorenzo the truth, he may divorce her, and go to marry Isabela.

Silvia, on her way out, said farewell to all the young women working in Empe's garment workshop. They all loved her and declared with affection that they would miss her dearly. Empe came in to hurry her out, shouting on the workers to face their work, or face the same fate as Silvia.

Tony and Mimi went ga-ga to musical concerts in Lima, because of their common interest in rap music.

Hercules tried to discourage two young ladies who came to learn the martial arts in his gym. He believed that boxing and martial arts should strictly be for men, and not women. When Conan arrived, he told his father that he had registered for the upcoming championship competition.

Hercules was not too happy with Conan's decision because he needed that registration money to pay some outstanding bills. At that moment, Silvia entered, carrying a mournful countenance, but refused to tell anyone about what just befell her.

Laura advised Giacomo to use opportunity of the probational six months to give proper guidance to his son, Tony, before going to Europe with his mom. He told her that he hoped to introduce him to the modeling career, because he was good looking.

Nati confronted Orlando with the fact of his relationship with Gloria, but he lied by saying there was no relationship between them. When Nati revealed to him that Lorenzo also confirmed that he came to the birthday party with Gloria, he was evasive and gave her a deceptive kiss again.

Lorenzo notified Orlando that his fiancee, Gloria was calling him on phone. Orlando was worried by this public notification because, Nati heard it. He excused her, saying that Gloria was just a friend.

Silvia finally got the strength to announce to Conan and Hercules that she had been sack by Empe. When she told Alex on phone, he promised to talk to his mother to rescind her unpopular decision. Silvia told him not to bother.

Laura told Giacomo of her displeasure at the lunch date of Lorenzo and Orlando with Isabela. Giacomo advised her not to contest the date, but rather organize her own business date. So Laura told him to call Alex for a lunch date, to discuss prospect of his employment at the Boutique.

Silvia was told by her cousin, Conan, that Hercules was at the verge of loosing his business because of outstanding bills that were crippling it.

While waiting for Isabela at the restaurant, Orlando asked Lorenzo about the nature of relationship between him and Isabela. Lorenzo told him about the 4 year courtship he had with Isabela that was almost resulting in marriage, before Laura suddenly appeared in his life.

Orlando was shocked to know that Isabela was that close to him in the past, and warned him to be careful, and not foolishly take Isabela's new raproachmore for granted. Just then, Isabela arrived, apologizing for her lateness. During the business cum lunch meeting, Isabela assured them that her exports would double their profits in two years, if they accept her proposal.

When they asked for the bill from the waiter, Isabela told them not to worry, because she owns the restaurant and would write off their bill. They were both impressed about what they witnessed.

In preparation for the upcoming championship fight, Conan and Hercules were practicing in the boxing ring, Silvia came along and insisted, despite Hercules' objection, that she wanted to practice with Conan. After the sparring session with Silvia, Conan told her that winning the prized fight would pay all the outstanding debts and save his father, Hercules, from financial bankruptcy.

At last, Gloria came to Lorenzo's office to drop her CV, in the hope of picking a job there. Nati collected her resume and told her that Lorenzo and Orlando went out to a business lunch.

Giacomo and Alex had a business lunch together, where Giacomo told him that Laura was ready to employ him now. Alex told Giacomo of the gossips in the magazines that said Laura was incapable of bearing children.

When they returned to the boutique for trial photographs, Giacomo was informed that his son, Tony had been arrested by police. He had to pass the assignment to Laura, to handle the trial photos of Alex.

Laura drove Alex in her car to where the photographic session would take place. On the way the two of them became friendly, and Alex made passes at her.

Isabela came to inspect the manufacturing facilities and capacity of Lorenzo's textile factory. One of the engineers claimed he knew Isabela from photographs in the magazines and newspapers.

Orlando and his fiancee, Gloria, had a sharp disagreement. She wanted him to help her, by giving her a job at Lorenzo's company, Textiles Paracas. Orlando was not favorably disposed to the idea, because, he had his own romantic but hidden agenda for Nati, which may ruin his relationship with Gloria, if she has a job there. She angrily left the party and went to her hotel suite.

Hercules and Cónan were in hot argument when the TV advertised the upcoming fight at the gym. They both want different camp to win the fight.

At the office next day, Orlando arrived and went straight to Nati, with the intention of kissing her good morning, but resisted his amorous touch. She warned him not to touch her because she doesn't want co-workers to gossip that she was flirt or had any relationship with him.

Orlando persisted in toasting her, telling her that she was the most intelligent and pretty lady he has mat in a long time. He gave her a peck when she calmed down.

Laura protested to Isabela for daring to attend the birthday party without invitation. She even threaten to send her out of the venue, when Isabela warned her that she just bought the restaurant and, as the new owner and hostess, would not hesitate to send Laura out of the premises. Laura was shocked, furious and humbled.

As the night wore on, the guest began to sing "happy birthday" songs unto Lorenzo. This brought the memory of the engagement night when Lorenzo was snatched from her by Laura, she was saddened.

Madam Emperatriz was at home counting a load of money when her son, Alex, arrived. She quickly began to convince her son to befriend and marry Isabela, because she was a rich lady. Alex initially told his mom that he was not interested, but after much maternal pressure, agreed to visit Isabela next day.

When Empe got to Mimi's room, she was angry because her mother was scheming to make her brother befriend a woman whom, Mimi already considered to be a witch. Empe scoffed at the strange ability of Mimi to see through the skin of a person and know if they were witches.

Mimi despises the loafer and idle life of a gigolo that her brother, Alex, was living. This only made Empe to be angry but Mimi's anger and insult drove the old woman out of her room.

When Lorenzo and Laura got back home from the dinner, he thanked her for the successful dinner, but also reminded her that, she did invite those guests to avoid the subject of bearing him a son. After much pleadings, laura agreed that she would conceive and give him a son. Lorenzo was happy and gave his wife an affectionate kiss.

The next day, while Silvia was training, Cónan asked her if Nati came home overnight. Silvia told him that Nati slept out. Cónan asked her not to disclose this secret to Hercules. talk of the devil, Hercules interrupted their chat and Nati was the first person he asked after. Silvia protected Nati's secret by telling him that she was still sleeping.

Meanwhile, Nati woke up on Orlando's bed and asked him to drive her home in his car. Orlando replied that he does not want risk their secret love-affair, by being seeing publicly with her, and therefore she should take a taxi home.

At the breakfast table, Conan and Silvia tried to hide the fact that Nati did not sleep at home during the night. Hercules got angry and accused the duo of making a fool out of him, so he stood up and withdrew from breakfast.

After a passionate love making, Lorenzo woke up from bed beside his wife, believing that Laura has begun to cooperate with him, so she could conceive their expected or promised child. After Lorenzo left for early morning jogging, Laura quickly opened the bedside drawer and swallowed contraceptive pills to neutralize any possibility of conception.

Silvia confronted Nati, asking her to disclose the mystery lover that has been taking her out every night, and causing problem at home with Hercules. She promised that she would soon come to introduce him, and he was a married man.

Giacomo's ex-wife came with his son, Tony, and told him that she would leave Tony, to live with him for a probational poeriod of six months. Giacomo was not too comfortable with this proposition.

As Alex left the house after breakfast, Mimi began to trail him to know his movement. She saw that Alex was picked up by Sonia and driven to Laura's boutique. After Sonia presented Alex to Laura as a prospective model. Laura told them that it was only Lorenzo that has the power to employ models. Alex requested that she should recommend him to her husband, but she said she cannot recommend strangers for hire by her hubby.

Tony caught Mimi spying out on her brother. They started chatting, as Alex walked pass them, Tony shielded Mimi from being discovered by kissing her. She was initially offended, but that was how a romance was inadvertently triggered on, between the two youngsters who have so many things in common, rap music inclusive.

The workers in Empe's garment factory were not convinced by Silvia that Empe would give them a raise for the overtime they worked. At that moment, Empe came in and announced that Isabela, a prospective investor and partner would be visiting, to inspect the factory, so the workers should clean up the factory and be ready.

When Isabela arrived, Empe asked Silvia to take her around for the inspection. By the time Isabela came back, she promised to do business with Empe, but she must first dismiss Silvia, because of her close union activism and affinity with the workers.

Lorenzo Chapter 2

Nati came to save the embarrassing situation between Lorenzo and Silvia, by telling Lorenzo that Silvia was her cousin from whom she ordered the special wine for his birthday.

When Empe arrived at the garment factory, she learnt afresh from Silvia that hoodlums attacked and robbed her of the money paid by a client. Silvia however told her that the money was recovered and used to purchased more raw materials like threads.

Laura warned Orlando not to disclose to Nati, the plans of inviting more people to the Lorenzo's birthday dinner. She said that Nati would tipoff Lorenzo if Orlando should make the mistake of telling her. Orlando asked Laura if the news of the arrival of Isabela into Peru, worried her. Laura said no.

A family business is in the making, Hercules and his children, including his niece, Silvia, were discussing how to start a fashion and garment company. Conan had begun to put up sketches of designs on paper.

While Orlando was chatting with Lorenzo and his wife at the office, Nati came in to announce the arrival of a woman who insisted on seeing Lorenzo. Alas! it was Isabela. After exchange of greetings, Orlando took excuse to leave, but not before Lorenzo introduced him as his business associate to Isabela.

Isabela apologized to the couple, and expressed her regret for breaking friendship and keeping grudges against them for several years past. She assured them she had forgiven and forgotten her bitter memory of past betrayals, and ready to forge new friendship with them like matured adults.

Lorenzo agreed with her submission, but Laura distrusted Isabela's new 'friendship' overtures. Isabela demanded to speak privately with Lorenzo alone, so Laura stood up to go to the outer office, but gave up her lips for Lorenzo to plant a warm romantic kiss on. This was to send signal and tell Isabela that: "NO VACANCY, He STILL BELONGS TO ME!"

Isabela gave a precious gift to Lorenzo and offered him some opportunity of garment exports to Europe. Lorenzo was not interested in the exports offer but agreed to have lunch with her in company of his partner, Orlando, next day.

Laura was so tensed and angry outside the office, Orlando had to calm her down. Her scheming mind could not bear to leave Isabela alone, with the man whom she snatched from her, some years past. When Isabela came out, Laura declared a silent war and warned her to leave her husband, Lorenzo alone!

Isabella rebutted her subtle attack by telling Laura that she was no longer the innocent girl that could be cheated or threatened, like it was in the past.

Orlando invited his fiancèe to the dinner, telling her that he wanted to celebrate the good fortunes of the company where he worked with her. He did not tell her that it was originally, a romantic dinner for Lorenzo and Laura.

Silvia and Alex returned from an outing. He told her of the suggestion by one of his client that he would be successful if he choses modeling as a career. Silvia saw the magazine with Laura's picture on the cover page. He told her that it was given to him by the client. He did not mention Sonia's name, he also lied to her that there was no one else in his romantic life. The two started kissing, until interrupted by Nati, who just arrived from work.

Lorenzo inquired from Nati if there was any affair between her and Orlando. She avoided giving him a direct answer. She told him that she suspected Orlando to be a first-class womanizer. Meanwhile, Isabela stepped up her espionage by recruiting a staff of Lorenzo's company. She paid substantial money to get the spy to monitor and report back all activities in Lorenzo's company.

Lorenzo was surprised to see a crowd of guests and friends, at his supposedly private romantic dinner, to mark his birthday in company of his wife. Laura told him that she was responsible for inviting all the guests and he should move round and greet all of them.

Laura enjoyed the rowdy dinner and never really gave Lorenzo much audience throughout the dinner, hiding under the excuse of greeting and attending to the guests. In the middle of the partying, Isabela appeared. Laura was furious, not knowing how Isabela got information about the party.

Eureka, Lorenzo's Wife Found!

The most vilified and most controversially popular telenovela in recent times, La Mujer de Lorenzo (Lorenzo's Wife) would soon start showing on LINK 65 (GOTEL). It is a new television station being seen on Lagos, Ogun, Oyo belt. I don't know if Abuja and Port Harcourt people are getting a glimpse of this TV.

Luckily for us, we just laid our hands on the 120-episodes summaries of the full story today. I promised you Lorenzo's Wife, some 51 days ago, on 5th February, 2007 that if I have my way, I would post it for you. That promise has come to fulfillment now.

Therefore, in order not to cause a telenovela riot, I would henceforth create a sitemap for each of the stories that I am posting. What this means is that, if you want to enjoy an uninterrupted flow of any particular story, it is better to get it from its sitemap. Just like I did for Gardener's Daughter and Esmeralda.

My husband criticized me recently, that I am easily influenced by the conflicting demands of my readers. I believe that he was right. If I am not influenced by you, I might lose your followership. Currently based on your demands, I am posting Rebeca, and wanted to resume Ugly Betty and begin posting Lorenzo's wife.

As at the last count, I have recorded about 270 votes or equivalent of commentaries for this soap opera.

The others may have to be suspended until we make a headway with this three. If I have to, as I would sure do, be posting 3 episodes of each daily, there may be a riot, unless you locate the sitemap for each of these you may not enjoy the flow.

The Battle of Three Women: Lorenzo's Wife

If I have my way, I would rename this telenovela as "Lorenzo's Wives". To fellow gardeners who have been mounting pressures for the snippets of this 120-Episode Peruvian telenovela. I am having a rethink and have also stepped up my research into this soap. As soon as I can find and also read the 120 snippets, and find it "safe" for our entertainment health and consumption, I would surely not deny you your desires. Pray therefore, for safe discovery and delivery.

Esmeralda remains 3 bulk snippets which I hope to complete later today or tomorrow. As soon as the 3 are out of the way, "Ugly Betty", "Rubi" and "Rebelde" may take over. I have not gotten the snippets of Todo Sobre Camila yet, so we would keep searching.

Lorenzo's Wife, la mujer de Lorenzo, was a battle of three women, Isabella, Laurita and Silvia, for the love of one man called Lorenzo, using another man called Alex as a tool to achieve their goal.

Laurita was a perfect schemer, she 'stole' Lorenzo from his fiancee- Isabella, but was bored stiff with what later became a matrimonial trap for her. She wanted an out but safe and luxurious landing, from the marriage. Alex, her personal fitness trainer at the gym, provided her with an illicit and amorous escapades for her pent up passion.

She fell head-long in love with this opportunist gigolo (Alex), and would have casually walked out of her marriage with Lorenzo, until the divorce lawyer warned her that she the terms of divorce would leave her penniless, if she was the one who initiated the divorce. Laurita is a woman who wanted to perform the impossible miracle of eating her cake and also still having it intact after the meal. She had to retreat and re-strategize, to turn around the victim into a 'victor'.

Her plan was to lure Lorenzo into the hands of an innocent but irresistibly delectable Silvia, whom she employed for that purpose, though, as personal assistant.

Her schema seems to have worked as Lorenzo truly began to fall in love with Silvia, whom Laurita had now arrayed regularly, with the help of her Fashion designer friend, with all kinds of attires that could stir Lorenzo's erotic interests.

What Laurita did not take into her careful plans was that Silvia was a former fiance of Alex and still loved him.

Then entered the third warrior, Isabella. She returned back into the country with fury, aggression and revenge against Laurita, to take back what belonged to her which Laurita stole many years ago. To actualize her plan, she had to sieze Lorenzo's company and also hijack Alex, the opportunist lover from Laurita.

As the attraction and pure love waxed stronger between Lorenzo and Silvia, he opted for divorce which would leave Laurita with half of his fortune. At that same time, as Laurita nears fulfillment of her dreams, she suddenly realizes that money is not everything. She regretted and tremble at the possible loss of Lorenzo, so an emotional war of attrition broke out between the three women.

Who, out of the three women would he go with?

Gists About Lorenzo's Wife

Many of the times when people ask me to do some posts on the episodes of the Lorenzo's Wife, I always choose to ignore it. The reason for me was obvious, writing is all about passion, and the first episode of Lorenzo's wife that I watched was not motivating sufficiently, to do anything about. It was nothing but the glorification of infidelity. The woman slept with three different men in the first episode. I was pissed off. That was the end of it for me.

Yester-night, while I was waiting endlessly for "All About Camilla" on TV, I stumbled on Lorenzo's wife again at those 'ungodly' hours of 23:00Hrs. For want of something to do, I watched it again and ... WOW! I now understand why the AIT stopped airing it at some point and why, when they resumed, it was at those wee hours, when the whole house (particularly the children), would have gone to sleep. It was 60% adult content. The Films & Censors Board must have warned them to reduce the 'adult content' of the novela.

Now I also understand why many people crave for the Lorenzo's wife. For those of you who are fans of that novela, I am happy to disappoint you, that I would not post anything of it. It was explosive, high-octane sexual orgy. A celebration of infidelity and matrimonial defilement of the highest order.

I may be wrong, but the two episodes I have watched so far could drive the libido of any adult to amoral levels. What do you think? Am I such a 'crude' and perhaps, a 'prude' housewife that my estimation of it was just sheer exaggeration? Let me know your views.
