La Marca Del Deseo (English: The Mark of Desire) is a Colombian telenovela that aired on Telefutura[citation needed] and RCN Televisión.
Without knowing it, they all set off on the same road to a place called Pueblo Escondido where they meet Reynaldo Santibáñez, who is apparently their father.
As with every legend, there appears to be some truth in it since the Santibáñez marriage is not a happy one in spite of having everything: a wonderful son, Luis Eduardo, money and power.
Nevertheless, unhappiness was not this family’s major problem, when, one-by-one, the five illegitimate daughters of Reynaldo Santibáñez begin arriving in town.
Leoparda and Alfredo conspire to try to buy El Tesoro, an island that brings in revenue to the Santibáñez daughters, Luis Eduardo, and Reynaldo.
Maria Valentina and Luis Eduardo try to forget the past between and move forward but can't hide their affections for one another throughout the series as they are with their partners (Alfredo and Ursula).
