Francisco leaves a letter with his intentions addressed to his friend and lawyer Noel Mancera.

On his deathbed, Francisco sends for his son Andrés, and while not telling the truth, asks him to care for Juan as a brother.

Juan grows up among the sailors and pirates of the port-city, earning a shocking reputation for dirty business (contraband of liquor), ruthlessness, and harboring unbound loyalty from his men.

Meanwhile, Mónica and Aimée are two beautiful young countesses, daughters of the deceased Count of Altamira, a distant cousin of Sofia de Alcazar.

When Sofia returns home, she informs Catalina de Altamira that Andres has broken the engagement with Monica because he is now intent on marrying Aimee.

With her family's financial ruin in mind, Catalina reluctantly agrees to an engagement between Aimee and Andres.

When Monica discovers that Andres has broken their engagement in order to marry her sister, she is immediately heartbroken.

Andres, who knows nothing about his kinship to Juan and the affair between him and his wife, decides to employ him as the steward of Campo Real, his country estate.
