The Family ChantelstarPedro Jimeno froze Chantel Everett out, leaving her shell-shocked in her bed, unable to function due to her searing heartbreak, and he may have been so cold because he was in love with Coraima Morla. For years, Pedro denied caring about Chantel, but maybe he was protesting too much.There were signs that he was lying. Chantel used to believe in Pedro - she’d get jealous but accept his sketchy explanations, such as his excuses for dirty dancing with Coraima. Then, Pedro left her. After that, she began to question everything, including his “friendship” with Coraima.
The truth is that Pedro does care about Coraima. He proved that after his split with Chantel, when he tried to date her. He was crestfallen when he saw the engagement ring on her finger.He seemed to have a master plan - he would leave Chantel, wait a little while, and then date Coraima.Perhaps he even wanted to marry her.

Pedro Ran To Coraima Morla After His Split With Chantel
That Must Have Crushed Chantel
The fact that he ran to Coraimaas soon as he could paints a dark and disturbing picture. It seemingly reveals a long-term “game,” whereby Chantel would be played until he had a Green Card - Pedro’s personal Holy Grail. Once that treasure was within his grasp, opening aportal to the American Dream, Pedrowould drift back to the “friend” that was later revealed to be a former love interest - the aforementioned Coraima.
Could he really be so cold-hearted?Such a plan would necessitate years of deception.He would be conning the woman he was sleeping with every night… the one who probably made him his coffee in the morning. He would spend all his time with her, talking about their bright future together. He would tell her he wanted to father her children.
Pedro would weave his spells, enchanting the American woman until she believed every single word. Then, when it was time to launch the plan, he would need to change… change so dramatically that Chantel was confused, depressed and miserable. This about-face was the epitome of cruelty.
To pull away,Pedro needed to create a new persona- one that would hopefully push her away in such an extreme way that she’d leave him, so he didn’t have to leave her. He tried his best, but Chantel,still under the spell, kept hanging in there. He’s worked his magic too well. She could not believe that the sweet and considerate man she knew could be the same person who called her:
lazy
, and made her feel subhuman. What on earth had happened? Her angst was so raw, so real… it’s the reason why, even now, manyThe Family Chantelfans can never forgive Pedro for breaking her heart. Some reality stars act and lie, but Chantel wasn’t one of them. No one could doubt that what she was feeling was authentic.
There’s no proof of this master plan, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to make it a strong possibility. In fact, it’s probable. After their breakup, some facts came to light which strengthen the theory that Chantel was being duped from the start. A former friend of the Jimeno family claimed thatThe Family Chantel’s Pedro Jimenoand his familyused to laugh at Chantel because she was such a sucker.
They allegedly were open about the fact that she was being used for money and easy immigration to the USA.
As if that weren’t bad enough, the plot thickens. It was revealed (but not proved) that Pedro was romantically involved with Coraima when he was younger, before Chantel was apparently chosen as the Jimeno family’s “mark.” So, if that were true, he covered up his romantic history with Coraima, pretending that he was nothing more than his sister’s friend.
Then, to really reinforce the theme, he went one step further, trying to date the woman he claimed he had no feelings for. That was really the cherry on top. It tied together the entire master plan, bringing it to fruition.Pedro had his Green Card, he’d gotten rid of his pesky nuisance of a wife, and he was ready to be with his dream woman, Coraima.Alas, fate had a surprise in store for the wily player Pedro. Coraima, probably tired of waiting for him, stopped loving him. She fell in love with someone else.
That was perhaps the universe’s perfect revenge. Pedro, so sure of his power as a man, and his ability to bewitch, finally had to watch his magic wane. Coraima was engaged to someone else, and she didn’t even entertain the idea of leaving her partner for him. So, instead of stringing along two women, Pedro had none.
No matter -the smooth operator Pedrois not going to sit around crying, or maybe he will. It really seems like it’s Coraima that he wants. While he often appears to be someone who leads a charmed life, with blessing after blessing falling into his lap, Pedro was rejected by Coraima. This is something that probably doesn’t happen to him very often.The Family Chantelstar may always consider her the “one who got away.”
