Un esposo para Estela (A Husband for Estela) is a Venezuelan telenovela written by Camilo Hernández based on an original story by Ángel del Cerro and produced by Venevisión in 2009. The telenovela was distributed internationally by Venevisión International.
In the town of San Jacinto del Morichal, Estela Morales is a young orphan who owns a hacienda in ruins and buried in debt called "El Vendaval". Upon the death of her mother, Estela discovers she needs to get married in order to collect the inheritance her mother left. Desperate and seeking to get the money as the only way of saving the farm, she places an advertisement in the newspaper seeking for suitable candidates for a husband. Among the many men who respond to the announcement is Adriano Alberti (Luis Gerónimo Abreu) who is the heir of an international chain of hotels. He is the candidate who knows or knew her.
A month ago, the two had met on the island of Curaçao during a masquerade party. She wanted to die, he wanted to forget. For one night, these two made love. The next day, the woman disappeared without a trace. Adriano woke up only to discover that an expensive necklace belonging to his family was no longer in the safe. Adriano decided to go to El Vendaval to recover the jewel he thinks Estela stole, but in reality he wants to prove that she is innocent.[4]
