If Paloma were the natural daughter of Javier and Sagrario, would Carlota still be mistreating her? Would she have still murdered Inaki?

I think Carlota would still mistreat her. Paloma would forever represent the love between Javier and Sagrario, something that Carlota could never have. Carlota would see Paloma as the daughter of the woman who took her brother from her. As for Inaki, I think she would have still murdered him. She killed him, among other things, because he was beginning to investigate the truth about Paloma's inheritance.
shareThe thing that really hit home for me about Carlota was the episode in which she said something like "Nobody in this house will be happy."
A friend of mine told me a really sad story from a Cuban friend of hers:
A distant relation had been orphaned as a child and was raised by two maiden aunts. From the moment the girl was 15 or 16 she was kept at home; no higher education, no job, nothing. No marriage prospects, not even by arrangement. The girl eventually died of a treatable female ailment in her early 30s because the two aunts never allowed her to be examined by a gynecologist. This happened in Cuba about 20 years ago.
As for what Inaki found out about Paloma's inheritance, I think he told somebody. Such information doesn't stay buried forever.
