So...reworking it made believe it was (a/some) Bethânia who was blackmailing me, while all along it was you (putting the squeeze on me/taking my money). The money that you used to...

Idiomatic expression: It was you all the time. It was you all along:
"It was you. All along, it was you. You drove into traffic to keep me from that laundry. That call I got, telling me Marie was in the hospital?

Thanks, Tobias, As I said, present continuous fits in perfectly, IMO.

"Carminha – Você tava indo muito bem garota, parabéns! Conseguiu se enfiar na minha casa, conquistou e seduziu meu filho, fez a cabeça dele contra mim, inventou essa tal de Bethânia pra se fazer passar por você, me chantagear, tirar dinheiro de mim. Dinheiro que você usou pra calar a boca daquele velho do Nilo. Garota, parabéns! E tudo isso aqui, debaixo da minha asa, do meu lado, se fazendo de minha amiga. É isso que você queria, não é? Você tava só esperando pra cravar a faca nas minhas costas, pra que? Pra se vingar! Vingança, era isso que você queria? Tá certa, certíssima!"

Even without context, I suppose the translation would sound better if switched to present continuous. Thus the "ing" in my suggestion.
