But now they must face a terrible truth: while Reinaldo was away undergoing a medical check-up that revealed he is terminally ill, Armando Malave cheated the Nuсez family out of all their stock in the company.
This brilliant young psychiatrist is engaged to Michelle, Armando Malave's youngest daughter-but he will find the love of his life in Marisela, a poor orphan whom he meets by chance, and who is taken in by the good-hearted Reinaldo when he learns that she is completely alone in the world.
After news of Reinaldo's death during surgery in the U.S., Ines is left with the difficult task of running the household and courageously facing the family's bitter resentment, including that of Luis Guillermo.
However, Luis Guillermo eventually realizes that he has loved Ines all along; and just as she begins to see her lifelong dream come true, they receive a shocking surprise: Reinaldo's death was faked.
From that moment on, Diego Andres and Marisela, Ines and Luis Guillermo, will be caught in a whirlwind of intrigue, jealousy, ambition and dark secrets from the past - and will become key players in a series of unexpected events that will finally bring their stories to a riveting conclusion.
