Telemundo's Cruel Love Would Have Been Cruel With These Endings..

You see I have too much time to waste and what better way than on Telemundo's Cruel Love. The Show attracted me because of the cast and a storyline that is relatable to everyday love stories. If you have watched this show continue to read

I wished they had made Sophia a stronger character - from a young gullible lady to a fearless woman won't would not go back to her vomit (in this case Antonio is the chief vomit). A woman who is independent and can defend herself without breaking into tears.

So I created three directions the show should have taken to strengthen the character of Sopiha and give her some control of her life. Do read and share your thoughts.




Alternative endings the story should have followed;
Alternative 1 –Sophia has a miscarriage which leaves her and Antonio devastated, and unable to reconcile. Sophia’s loss strengthens her negatively and she embarks on a revenge mission to take down Camilia and everything dear to her. She ends up getting her revenge through well planned strategy which includes some mentally tormenting traps that leave Camillia paranoid and finally sentenced to a mental institution.

Due to the Camilia’s drama, the project never takes off, both Rocky and Antonio realizes that Sophia has changed a lot and not the gentle easy to manipulate girl they fell in love with. Rocky decides to take his relationship with his band mate to another level and forgets his fight with the Brandowhile Antoniomeets the Vet Miranda whose kind heart reminds him a bit about the innocent Sophia

The show ends with Sophia in a new town looking more confident and wise. A young rich man approaches her and they seem to engage but she is shown as much more in control and bold

Alternative 2 – After Sophia is cleared of theft, she realizes she doesn’t want anything to do with the Brando Family. The only way to do this would be to abort the pregnancy. She offhandedly tells this to her brother in anger after she learns he works for Antonio. Her brother rushes to get Antonio to stop her. Antonio gets to the hospital and is outraged to meet an un-pregnant Sophia. He is disappointed in her and does not want anything to do with her. Antonio’soutbursts infuriateSophia who feels he is unjustified in his outbursts. She irrationally feels the need to make Antonio and Camilia pay for the pain they caused her. She achieves this by playing a video of Antonio and Camilia having sex to a public with all the Brando clan present.

Gonzalo divorces Camilia and when he finds out that Antonio’s mother knew about the sordid affair erroneously believe that all the Brando family knew. In anger he teams up with the Vladiri to destroy the Brandos. Camilia goes in hiding to avoid the shame although she continues to meet Antonio in secret. Sophia begins to date Rocky to spite Antonio, at first Antonio appears affected but with time becomes used to the relationship. Gonzalo and the Vladiris are finally able to take over the Brandos Company and this leaves Cecilia, Pedro and her daughter in-law bankrupt and dependent on Antonio for survival. At same time Antonio gets to know that Camilia is not really his cousin and wants to make their relationship official though he still keeps to his dog ways
Rocky and Sophia changes after Rocky sees his former manager doing badly and the manager reminds him to remain the good Rocky no matter what as tides can change. The show ends with us seeing the kind and good Rocky and Sophia we knew before

Alternative 3 –Antonio’ssuit to take full custody of his son with Sophia saddens her but this sadness turns to fury when she realizes that the Cecilia Brando was going to play dirty. Sofia rejects her lawyer’s suggestion to ask Cecilia to testify in her favour. Sophia gets her lawyers to sue the Brando Company for fraud, defamation of character and attempted murder. She’s around when the suit is delivered in the presence of Cecilia and promises the latter war for taking the wrong side. Sophia uses Rocky to get the call that transpired betweenCamilia and her. This recording proves that Camilia intended to hurt the child. Sophia ends up keeping the child, her job and monetary compensation.

The Brando considers Sophia’s defence a betrayal and plot to kick her out of their company. However, Sophia is now wiser and fails to fall into any of their traps. She convinces the Vladiri she desires to destroy the Brandos whilst in actual sense she wants to use the Vladiri take over Brando Construction. Camilia is unhappy with Antonio’s relationship with Miranda and tries unsuccessfully to break them up. Sophia tricks Rocky into selling his houses and also manages to get the Vladiristo entrust her and give back Brando’s properties and shares in their care to Sophia’s name. Camilia believes that Sophia would be the perfect person to break up Antonio’s blossoming relationship the only snag is that all Sophia is interested in is building an empire. Camilia devises a plan to get Sophia interested in chasing after Anthonio. Sophia surprises all to unveil a friendly hostile takeover of the company from both Vladiri and Brando to form a Santana Brando Company. Rocky is livid that Sophia played him and in anger promises revenge.

The Brandos are impressed by Sophia’s achievements but still hate her guts and accuse her of being a social climber like they thought. Sophia puts them in their place as she reminds them that Brando Company had nothing and it was she who resurrected it and she is proud that her son can have something good to inherit.

Camilia in a desperate attempt to get Sophia do her bidding kidnaps Nick but gets caught in the process. She is charged to court and gets imprisoned. Sophia reconnects with Doc during this time and both decide to give each other another chance.

Two years later, we see Rocky has been trying to bring Sophia down but fails as she is one of the most important personalities in town.  Sophia is with Doc, their hands are intertwined in a commissioning party. A little male kid runs to where they are and is immediately picked up by Doc, Antonio and Miranda are at the tail of the kid. They both exchange pleasantries with Sophia and Doc and we see Sophia get distracted by a familiar figure. The figure is revealed to be the Bahamas Soothsayer who shows her shock at the turn of events. Sophia explains that the love was not meant to be and though the child custody arrangement is not easy on both sides they have been able to accept that it is something both have to deal with for the child’s well-being.


So what do you think about any of these endings?
