Marielena (TV Series)
1992 · Series · 60 min. · United States
228 Episodes. Marielena is a girl raised with good morals by her mother and who lives with her brother and sister in an apartment. She becomes the secretary to Luis Felipe, and eventually Marielena and Luis Felipe have their affair.One day, while cavorting with him in his secret apartment, she forgets to take her birth control. As a result she gets pregnant. I believe around this time Luis Felipe considers leaving his wife (who is an older woman, and in fact plays his aunt's rival in Guadalupe) Claudia, who he married for money. Claudia threatens and pleads with him not to leave... Around this time, Claudia's nephew (whose father loses all of his money and political career and ends up a pauper) asks her for money (to support his drug habit) but when she does not give it to him, he stabs her to death with a letter opener. Luis Felipe finds her and in order to save a pregnant Marielena (who gets accused for the murder as the nephew had snuck out thru a window and was not seen) confesses to a murder he did not commit. He goes to jail thinking he saved her, and she moves on, thinking he killed his wife. Eventually she marries a man who pretends he is still blind from an accident (to keep her) and Luis Felipe is released from jail. Then, the roles are reversed, as Luis Felipe ends up working for Marielena. Everyone tries to stop their love, but eventually, Luis Felipe and Marielena get back together and the nephew (who is dying from AIDS) admits that he killed Claudia.
