Although Ligia has grown up believing she is the daughter of Raquela, her father's wife, her real mother is Salome Hernandez, a woman of humble birth who fell in love with Francisco in spite of the fact that he was already married.
On a fateful night over 20 years ago, Salome and Francisco were running away with their baby daughter and a briefcase containing a million dollars that he had stolen from his wife's firm, when they had a serious car accident.
And so, Ligia grew up in the luxury of the Valderrama's household, with a slightly cold adoptive mother and a loving, but weak and remorseful, father.
The current master of the hacienda, Arturo Urbaneja Castro, cheated Mabel's parents out of the estate, and this circumstance led them to commit suicide.
After a series of unexpected events, both young couples will finally find happiness together... and at long last, Ligia and Mabel will recover what life had so unfairly taken from them.
