Juan Dominguez, while walking the streets of Mexico City, comes across an attractive older woman, Nidia Cachon (Sylvia Pasquel).
He starts to lose interest when her two daughters, Yadira (Dacia Arcaraz) and Marely (Florencia de Saracho) comes into the house.
He instantly falls in love with Marely, quickly losing complete interest in Nidia.
She eventually claims that her late husband wanted a Mariachi band playing at his funeral and Juan goes out to find one.
She remarks about how horrible and cruel her mother was being The family has no more money because the late husband had donated it.
Nidia used her relationship with the lawyer to get him to make a fake copy of the will, saying the late husband left Paula and Ana nothing.
At the same time, Juan, who has been living in the Cachon household, decided to get a job, since the family no longer had any money.
Juan gets the job as chauffeur with Empresas Farel, but in order to empress Marely, he tells the Cachon family that he is actually a lawyer with the company.
He goes crazy with jealousy and the next day fights with Juan in the Farell parking garage until they are both bleeding and bruised.
Not long after the miscarriage, Ceser Luis decides to tell Monica the truth about the affair between himself and Paula, and she asks for a divorce.
After much seducing and despite her mother's warnings, Paula is again beguiled by Cesar Luis and they get married in a small church ceremony.
Cesar Luis persuades Paula to quit the company and stay home (presumably so he can continue his office affairs without his new wife knowing).
Paula becomes spiteful and tells him Juan that she never loved him and just flirted with him to make Cesar Luis jealous.
Paula confesses to her mom and new "friend" that she regrets marrying Cesar Luis, that he is not the person she thought he was.
Nidia, who has since married Perefan, rekindles an old relationship at the wedding of Paula and Cesar Luis.
On the road he meets a rich old Japanese businessman named Yasomoto whose car has died.
He fixes Yasomoto's car and they agree to become business partners selling flowers grown in Achichipico.
They stay with a greedy widow who realizes that it's Yasomoto who is rich, she seduces him and begs him to marry her (even though neither understands a word the other is saying).
Juan calls the relatives in Japan (saying only Yasomoto sayonara) his daughter gets the idea and flies in for his funeral.
Erlinda follows him around crying wearing a black shroud, and her brothers are always plotting to kill or at least beat up Juan.
Juan meets a beautiful lawyer named Susana who falls in love with him and they go on romantic excursions together.
So Susana goes to another town but leaves him a sweet goodbye note saying he is a wonderful person and she hopes he will return someday to "his Paula".
