Rafael Rodriguez

Rafael Rodriguez was a good-natured, handsome, and wealthy gentleman in Nina Bebe(pilot episode).

He loved his only daughter dearly and lavished every imaginable care and tenderness on her. His grand hacienda attests to his great wealth. His wife had died when their daughter was born.Despite the fact that he did everything to make life better for his daughter, he was depressed by the death of his wife and felt his daughter needed a maternal figure, so he married again; his second wife being Annie Flores, who had a daughter, Felicia Flores.He welcomed his new wife and stepdaughter into the family, and it seemed his second marriage ran smoothly until the day he died.Upon his untimely death, Annie Flores showed her true colors. She tyrannically took over his hacienda, the remnant of his fortune (which she squandered on her own vain and selfish daughter), and even forced his daughter to become the servant of her own house.
