Broken Angel Full Story

“Santa Diabla” is a gripping telenovela that follows the life of Santa Martínez, portrayed by Gaby Espino. Santa is on a quest for vengeance following her husband, Willy Delgado’s, untimely death, played by Lincoln Palomeque. To carry out her plan, she marries Humberto Cano, a prominent lawyer in Marrero, brought to life by Carlos Ponce. Humberto had previously hired Willy to give piano lessons to his niece, Daniela Milan, played by Ana Osorio, until a series of accusations led to Willy’s tragic demise. Blaming the Cano family, especially Bárbara Cano, Daniela’s mother and Humberto’s sister, for her husband’s unjust death, Santa is determined to destroy them. However, as her plan unfolds, she unexpectedly falls in love with Santiago Cano, portrayed by Aarón Díaz, Humberto and Bárbara’s brother.

Throughout the series, Inés Robledo, portrayed by Ximena Duque, a wealthy and malicious woman, uses her influence to keep Santiago and Santa apart due to her obsession with Santiago.

In a surprising twist, it’s revealed that Santiago is the true malevolent brother, not Humberto, who had been unjustly portrayed as the villain. Santiago is responsible for a series of murders in Marrero, owing to his dissociative identity disorder, which allows him to kill without restraint. Humberto knew about Santiago’s condition but kept it a secret to protect his brother. Another revelation shows that Santiago had sinister intentions of making Santa his wife after discovering a picture of her while he and Willy were in prison. Every move Santiago made was premeditated and cunning.

In the end, Santa chooses Humberto, despite the prevailing belief that he is evil, because she knows he has a good heart. In a dramatic final episode, Humberto is tragically killed by Santiago, and Santa carries the secret of being pregnant with his child to her grave. Santiago ends up in a mental asylum, leaving the audience uncertain about whether he will escape or not.
