Upon being reciprocated by him, they begin a very beautiful and secret love, which becomes impossible when the evil Delfina makes Federico believe that she is pregnant, and then dying due to a very serious illness, under a lie endorsed by a former teammate.

They plan to go on a trip together but their love takes a tragic turn after Federico's heroic death in an accident in which he intervened to save the life of Count Máximo Augusto Calderón de la Hoya (Fabio Di Tomaso).

In any case, Federico will have a brief time inside Máximo's body, to say goodbye to his great, unique and painful love, and to leave his brothers in charge of the Count, instead of Delfina.
