Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser.


* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:This is why Bruno married Victoria in the first place, as she showed him love and devotion more than anyone else had. Oddly enough, this is also why ''she'' was attracted to him, since her previous partners were all some variety of BastardBoyfriend.]]

* TroubledAbuser: Victoria is eventually revealed as one of these, [[spoiler:having grown up as an orphan who survived on her looks, strength, and string of [[BastardBoyfriend Bastard Boyfriends]]. Her abuse of Bruno (and now, Camilo) is implied to be a learned behavior, as [[TheChainOfHarm "she learned from personal experience sometimes you just need the sense knocked into you."]]]] It's not played for sympathy, but as an explanation of how she came to be the way she is.

* AdultFear: The premise: Bruno's estranged ex-wife suddenly and swiftly kidnaps his son, and he has little idea how to find him. Even worse is that none of the Madrigals were even around to try to help when it happened.

* BrokenPedestal: Ultimately subverted. Camilo understandably feels shocked and betrayed when he realizes that, if Victoria is his mother, the family has been lying to him since he was little. It only gets worse when Victoria tells him that [[spoiler:she received her scars from Pepa (framing it as intentional on her part)]]. However, she [[NiceJobFixingItVillain messes up]] when attempts to comfort him by saying she's going to kill Pepa. [[spoiler:Whether Pepa's an attempted murderer or not, Camilo knows at this point that Victoria has ''definitely'' killed multiple people, and he won't stand for her threatening his family.]]

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mention Pepa in front of Victoria. Camilo finds this out the hard way, with a slap to the face.


Added DiffLines:

* HairTriggerTemper: It takes very little to make Victoria angry, from merely bringing up the Madrigal family to disagreeing with her.


Added DiffLines:

* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:Victoria kills Ricardo this way after he smells her death approaching and she misinterprets it as a {{Curse}}.]]

** [[AbusiveParents Victoria]], obviously.
** Victoria's henchmen have no problem being overly firm with Camilo, but Leonardo is especially notable for ''pulling out a knife'' on him.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Victoria has "red scars that almost [look] like branches" that cover her neck and chest. Once you realize that they're [[spoiler:Lichtenburg scars, it's pretty clear that she got them from being struck by Pepa's lightning.]]
