Episode One
(My Spanish isn‘t perfect, but here‘s my
summary of the first episode. When I finish typing this one, I‘ll get to the
others.)
Don Gonzalo stops Luis and asks her where
she’s going with one of his dad’s best horses. She tells him she’s going to
town because her grandma is sick and needs to see a doctor. He tells her to get
down and that he wants her in exchange for her use of the horse. She tells him
that he’s married and has a child, but he tells her to forget about his wife
and child, telling her it was a marriage arranged by his father and to give him
what he wants. She refuses to be his lover, but he tells her he doesn’t want a
lover and that he just wants to have sex with her once. He tells Macario to
take the horse and go to town to get a doctor. Macario leaves.
Don Gregorio slaps Constanza and asks how
dare she secretly date Reinaldo. He tells them that he and only he will choose
their husbands and that he’ll do so very soon. Lucrecia tells him their too
young to get married and he‘s unjust and cruel and he hits her again. Florencia
asks him if he’s scared they’ll have illegitimate children just like he did. He
slaps her and says he won’t let more illegitimates be born into his family and
that they’ll all marry within the next year.
Don Gonzalo Luisa he could tell his father
to throw them off their land if she doesn‘t do what he says. Then he insults
Gladys (his wife) and rapes Luisa. The doctor is with Luisa’s grandmother and
she says she doesn’t have much time left and asks what Luisa will do without
her, but thinks that her granddaughter is a lot stronger than she seems. Luisa
swears that one day she’ll get her revenge against Gonzalo Montero and walks
home past Miguel and Mauricio who calls her another victim of Gonzalo. Miguel
says she’d better hope Gladys doesn’t find out what happened.
Gladys comes home and asks Luisa if she
knows where Gonzalo is and to tell him that she wants to speak with him. Luisa
says she can‘t and that she has to see about her grandmother and runs off.
Before he leaves the doctor tells Luisa her grandmother has heart problems. Her
grandmother asks Luisa what‘s wrong with her and Luisa says nothing, but her
grandmother guesses what happened and that it was Gonzalo. They cry. Her
grandma makes her swear no one will ever hurt her again.
Gonzalo tells Gladys he drinks because it‘s
the only way he can forget that she‘s his wife. He orders his son to come here,
but Gladys stops her son and tells him his father‘s disgusting and that he
reeks of alcohol. He says he’ll go and bathe and that when he returns he and
his son will go for a ride. When he leaves Gladys tells her son to not grow up
to be like his father, and that he should be rich and powerful just like his
grandfather. HE says he would rather be like his father because his father plays
with him but his grandfather’s always scolding him. She tells him one day he’ll
understand how important money is and that he’s the only grandson and that one
day he’ll inherit everything. He asks what if his aunts have sons.
His aunt Constanza tells her sisters that
she can’t marry anyone but Reinaldo and tells Lucrecia that they haven‘t been
intimate yet. Constanza says she’s going to be intimate with him no matter what
her father says. They agree that if they each lose their virginity, the men their
father chooses for them won’t accept them. Constana and Lucrecia ask what will
happen if there’s a baby. Says they’ll face it together and be thy‘ll all be
the baby‘s mother. They each lose their virginity that night and two months
later, go to the doctor to see if anyone’s pregnant. The doctor says that only
one of them is pregnant.
Luisa learns she’s pregnant from her
grandmother who also tells her that she has to love and care for the child even
thought Gonzalo‘s the father.
Don Gregorio announces that his three
daughters will be married soon. Gladys asks who the three new members of the
family are. He tells her it’s none of her business and that curiosity killed
the cat. Gonzalo echoes Gladys’ question and accuses him of marrying him
(Gonzalo) to a monster (Gladys). Florencia refuses to marry anyone. Don
Gregorio tells them they’ll do what he says or be tossed out on the street.
Mauricio tells don Gregorio that Luisa’s
expecting Gonzalo’s baby. The don slaps Gonzalo and tells his Luisa’s going to
have his illegitimate child. Gonzalo accuses his father of having his own
illegitimate--Miguel. Miguel overhears and finds out Don Gregorio is his
father. Don Gregorio tells him not to remind him of that boy because he hates
his illegitimate son while Miguel continues to eavesdrop. He tells Gonzalo to
pay Luisa to have an abortion. Miguel tells Gladys Luisa’s pregnant with her
husband’s child. She finds and attacks Luisa and tells her she’s not going to
have the child and repeatedly kicks her in the stomach.
Don Gregorio and Gonzalo ask Luisa’s
grandmother where Luisa is. He hands her money and tells her it’s for the
abortion and for them to get off his land then repeats his demands when Luisa
arrives. Her grandmother says she can’t leave with her tomorrow and tells Luisa
to go without her. Luisa says that tomorrow she’ll see the doctor and when she
comes back, they’ll go to California together. Maria says goodbye to Luisa and
tells her to write to her in the neighboring ranch.
Don Gregorio asks and Maria says that Luisa
and her grandmother have left. He tells Gonzalo and his son that he’s going to
burn the place after their meal. His grandson objects, but he calls the boy
sensitive and that he has much to learn.
Luisa’s grandmother falls in her house
while the don burns it down, thinking no one’s inside. When Luisa arrives, the
don’s daughters stop her from getting too close to the flames and they learn
the old woman was inside. Luisa’s hysterical and loses her baby.
Later she asks why the Montero sisters helped
her. They treat her kindly and tell her of their pregnancy. She offers to care
for the child.
In California, Luisa works for Don Gaspar
who thinks of her s his own daughter and calls her Victoria after his dead
daughter and tells her he doesn’t have long to live. The Montero sisters bring
Luisa the child, Mariana. Don Gaspar tells Luisa/Victoria that he’s leaving her
everything that he owns and that she is now legally his daughter. When he dies,
Luisa swears she’ll never care for anybody again, including Mariana Montero.
Luisa, years later, arrives at the ranch
neighboring the ranch of Los Montero.
Luisa says she wants to speak with the
owner.
He asks, “Who are you?”
She says, "Just tell me where to find
him."
He says, “I’m not going to tell you where
to find him until you tell me your name, Cutey (Preciosa).”
She says "who the heck are you to talk
to me like this, you’re just a hired hand. I want to speak to your boss.”
He says, “Ay, guerrita. (which I think
means Ay, my little warrior.) He tosses her over his shoulders and carries her
inside and puts her down on the couch.
She yells, “I want to speak to your boss!”
He tells her that she’s face to face with
the boss and asks her what she wants.

(Sorry it's taking so long, but I'm typing
with one hand because I fractured my left wrist last week.)
Episode Two
Diego Ibarra tells her he’s the owner of
Los Encinos. He asks her, “Do you know what happens to pretty women who walk
onto my property without my permission?” He tells her they spend the night in
his bed. She calls him names and tells him he doesn’t know how to treat women
and he offers to take her to his bedroom and show her exactly how he treats
women. She informs him that she wants to buy his ranch.
Don Gregorio learns that Diego Ibarra still
refuses to sell him his ranch which he wants because of its location near a
river. Macario tells him the only way he‘ll get the land is if Ibarra dies, but
Don Gregorio refuses to kill him, saying he isn‘t a murderer and that there has
to be another way. Macario says that Diego Ibarra is a murderer.
Diego says the whole world seems to be
interested in buying his ranch but refuses to sell it to anyone and tells her
to get out before he does something he might regret. He steals a kiss. When she
storms out, he swears he’ll never sell his ranch because he paid for it with
blood.
Ruben and Don Gregorio get in a helicopter
so they can fly over Ibarra’s land and Don Gregorio says he can’t live next
door to a murderer. Ruben says there’s no proof that Diego killed Gregorio’s
half-brother, Gregorio insists Diego killed Ramon in order to inherit Los
Encinos. They hop into a helicopter.
Diego raves to his friend about
Luisa/Victoria’s eyes and beauty while she tells Maria he’s arrogant, but
concedes that he’s cute. She asks Maria to help her get a job at Don Gregorio’s
place.
Don Gregorio tells Macario they need to
hire more employees. Macario asks if he’s going to throw Hilario and his wife
out. Don G says no, but that they can watch over the Los Encinos ranch. He says
that’s why he wanted Macario to move the cabin closer to Ibarra’s land so that
Hilario and his family can spy on Ibarra and form friendships with the people
on Ibarra’s land. Don G says he’s going to wage war with Diego Ibarra.
Diego says he knows Don Gregorio wants him
prosecuted for the death of his half brother and scare him into selling the
ranch. German tells him Don G fights dirty and to be careful. Diego says they
need to hire more people but he doesn’t have the money.
Luisa/Victoria is sure no one will
recognize her. Don G announces Alejandro’s going to marry Isabela and expresses
his preference of Alejandro because he’s the only grandchild that inherited the
Monetero name (his other grandchildren are children of his daughters who
inherited their respective father‘s last name). Patricio points out to Miguel
that he’s illegitimate and Miguel counters with the fact that he at least has
Montero blood in his veins while Patricio doesn’t. Lucrecia points out that
Isabela lives in Paris and the two barely know each other. Gladys and Florencia
argue; Florencia says that Patricio is a member of the family because she
married his father, Martin. When everyone leaves, Gonzalo asks Gladys why she’s
always bothering his sisters. Gladys insults them, calling them indecent.
In Paris, Isabela and plot against everyone
back at the ranch.
The three Montero sisters accuse Luisa of
stealing their daughter when they find out that the envelope they sent with
money for Mariana’s care was sent back. Luisa/Victoria tells Maria she’s
sending for Mariana/Carolina to work on the ranch too and tell the girl that
they lost all they have and that they‘ll have to work in order to survive.
Lucrecia asks Alejandro if he really wants
to marry Isabela or if Don G’s forcing him to. He says he does want to marry
her, but doesn’t know if it’s because he really wants Isabela or if he wants to
have a family of his own. He thinks she really wants him and he likes the fact
that she promised to never fight in front of their children like Gladys and
Gonzalo fought in front of him.
Christa’s Isabela’s older sister and she’s
plotting with Isabela. Diego wonders if Luisa/Victoria is a spy for Montero.
Luisa/Victoria talks Maria into getting her a job at the Montero ranch. Diego
discovers her still on his land and tosses her over his shoulder again and
carries her to his place where he tosses her onto the bed. She grabs a pair
scissors, swears she‘ll kill him before she lets him hurt her. He learns she
was raped. He apologizes.
Don G tells Ruben that the whole world
thinks he wants Los Encinos because of its proximity to the river, but says
that he hopes no one suspects the truth and that it has nothing to do with the
river.
Diego asks if she works for Montero. She
tells him she hates all the Monteros. Ruben proposes they find a beautiful
woman to make Diego forget about the ranch but Don G doesn‘t think it‘ll work. Diego
tells her she can go, but tells her never to return. She calls him
insufferable, he calls her enchanting. He tells her to leave or he’ll kiss her.
She leaves.
Maria talks to Macario about hiring
Luisa/Victoria and her daughter. He tells her that they need men, not women.
Maria tells him her friends are experts with horses. He says yes. He asks what
ever happened to Luisa. Maria claims she doesn’t know and leaves. Amalia walks
in and asks him who Luisa is and he tells her, saying that if he can find Gonzalo’s
illegitimate child, he can blackmail the Monteros.
Diego’s aunt catches him talking about
Luisa/Victoria to his horse, asks who she is. He says she’s no one. His aunt
says the day will come when he’ll marry. He wonders what woman would marry him,
an illegitimate who was once accused of murder.
Luisa/Victoria thinks back to her kiss with
Diego. Maria tells her they got the jobs. She tells Luisa/Victoria that Diego
is the illegitimate son of Don Jose and that a lot of people think Diego killed
his half-brother, Ramon in order to inherit the ranch. Diego thinks about
Luisa/Victoria.
Alejandro and his cousins discuss his
pending nuptials with Isabela. Gonzalo goes to his favorite spot to get drunk
and Macario finds him and tells him it will anger Don G. Luisa/Victoria goes to
the hotel and tells Mariana/Carolina they’ve lost everything and have to find
work. Gonzalo tells Macario that he knows very well that Macario likes to feed
him alcohol so that he’ll remain an alcholic and Macario can have control of
the ranch. Macario says he only wanted to help him and reminds him that a long
time ago when he used to arrange for Gonzalo to be with the pretty campesinas
(peasant girls). Gonzalo remembers Luisa and their child and smiles as he
wonders if maybe it was a little girl.
Luisa/Victoria tells her daughter that
she’ll go to the ranch first to check things out and she’ll call her later. She
asks her to tell her about her past, but Luisa/Victoria says no. Diego tells
his aunt he’ll never fall in love and asks her to forget about the woman he
spoke of because he’ll probably never see her again and he doesn’t know her
name or where to find her and still suspects she’s a Montero spy.
Luisa/Victoria meets with Macario. He tells her she’ll work in the main house but
that her daughter will work with the horses. A drunken Gonzalo arrives and
thinks he recognizes her.

Episode Three
Gonzalo can’t figure out who she is. She
tells him she comes from California and that she doesn’t know anybody at the
ranch. Macario tries to make him go home and sleep, but Gonzalo shrugs him off
and tries to flirt with Luisa/Victoria who can barely control her disgust. Macario
points out that he’s drunk and Gonzalo tells her he drinks a lot because his
life is hell.
Gladys hopes Gonzalo won’t be drunk when
Isabela arrives. Gladys insults the Montero sisters in front of Constanza and
Christa giggles and leaves them alone. Constanza asks her why she’s always
bothering her and her sisters and Gladys accuses them of being indecent and
brings up the fact that Constanza wasn‘t a virgin when she got married.
Constanza claims it isn’t important and Gladys says if it isn’t important how
come she hasn’t told her daughter Bianca.
Hanging out with his cousins, Patricio says
he wishes he was a Montero. Bianca, Alejandro and
Lucrecia
tells Constanza not to worry if Gladys tells Bianca she wasn’t virgin when she
married Bianca’s father because it’s not a big deal to young people like Bianca
if someone’s a virgin or not and that she won’t care.
Diego’s aunt asks him to promise that if he
ever sees Luisa/Victoria again to try to at least be her friend. He says it’s
best that she never returns, but admits that he kissed her. Macario helps
Gonzalo home where his father insults him and Gonzalo begs Macario not to leave
him with Gladys whom he calls stupid. When she leaves, he tells Macario that he
likes the new girl they hired, Luisa/Victoria. Maria continues to try to talk
Luisa/Victoria out of her plans. Macario arrives and tells her to be careful
because Gonzalo likes her a lot.
Ruben tells Don G that Alex is too young to
get married, but Don G says Ruben’s son Gerardo was much younger than Alex when
he married and that Alex has no vices. Miguel asks his father why he refuses to
make him an heir and Don G says it’s because he’s illegitimate and that the
ranch employees don’t respect bastards.
Diego insists to his aunt that he’ll never
marry. She wonders what he’ll do without an heir. He says of course he would
never bring an illegitimate child into this world and watch it suffer. Miguel
is hysterical after his confrontation with his father. Macario tries to calm
him down and asks what happened and he tells him that Don G called him a
bastard again and he continues to cry. He hopes one day his father will give
him his last name. Macario tells him he’s on his side and that if they have to
destroy Alejandro, they will. He also says Patricio is on his side, too.
Patricio wants to find a way to destroy the
bond between Alejandro and Don G. Alejandro wants to move out of the ranch and
his cousins tell him it sill be difficult because of Don G. Gladys compliments
Don G, but he tells her to go see about her husband. Macario tells Don G that
he hired two new people. Luisa/Victoria calls Mariana/Carolina.
Diego and German go to the city and he
wants to try to find Luisa/Victoria. Diego’s aunt, Flora asks Maria about
Luisa/Victoria. Amalia and Luisa/Victoria meet and Amalia announces she’s
Macario’s lover. Amalia warns her about Gladys. Gladys is disgusted by Gonzalo
who’s passed out on the bed and thinks about how different Renato is. Macario
arrives and asks Amalia to take her to the main house and present her.
Mariana/Carolina tries to hail a taxi, gets
her purse snatched, and Diego and German find her. Diego gives her money for a
taxi. Amalia introduces Luisa/Victoria to Rocio, bad-mouthes Gladys, Gladys
overhears and she meets Luisa/Victoria who tells her that Gonzalo is fascinated
with pretty women and tells her not to get near him. Luisa/Victoria criticizes
Gladys, and Gladys slaps her. Flora asks about Luisa/Victoria and Maria assures
her that Luisa/Victoria isn’t a Montero spy. German and Diego get
Mariana/Carolina a taxi. Lucrecia walks in on Gladys yelling at Luisa/Victoria.
Lucrecia and Gladys insult each other. Lucrecia says she will marry within the
year.
Diego can’t get Luisa/Victoria out of his
mind. German thinks his friend is in love. Rocio tells Luisa/Victoria that
Lucrecia is obsessed with getting married. Don G tells Gladys and Lucrecia to

falls into the street. She wonders if he’s an angel. He calls her beautiful and
Isabela gets out o the car. Christa and Gladys talk about Lucrecia whom everyone
seems to think is slightly crazy. Lucrecia asks her sister Florencia what her

gets angry and says she’s tired of being alone. Christa and Don G have sex in
his home office.
Diego tells German he can’t get
Luisa/Victoria out of his mind and that if he can fix the problems on his ranch
and become economically stable, he is going to find her and marry her.
Luisa/Victoria thinks about him. Gladys tries to wake up Gonzalo so that he can
join everyone else in welcoming Isabela. Carolina tells them she was robbed and
had to walk the rest of the way.
German doesn’t think Diego is serious and
points out that Diego doesn’t have much experience with women and never had a
serious girlfriend. Diego swears that no other woman will ever make him feel
the way she makes him feel. Lucrecia tells Florencia that she thinks their
father has a secret lover and that, despite what he says to the contrary, he
was unfaithful to their mother when she was alive. Lucrecia tells Florencia
that Diego Ibarra is her best option in her quest to find a husband. They talk
about the child they gave away and Florencia says they should leave the past in
the past but Lucrecia can’t forget.
Ruben tells Constanza that he knows she’s
not a decent woman, criticizes her blouse and tells her to at least dress like
a decent woman would dress. Patricio tells his dad Martin that he hates
Alejandro and wishes he was Don G’s grandson. Don G tells Christa she’ll give
him a heart attack. In her mind, Christa wishes that were so, but doesn’t say
it. He writes her a check and tells her to use discretion. Gonzalo and Gladys
trade insults and he leaves and she wonders who he’s making his next conquest.
Outside their bedroom, he wonders if Luisa/Victoria is as beautiful as she
seemed or if it was the alcohol that made her attractive. He walks in on her
talking to the maid and overhears that she has a daughter.
Alejandro offers to show her around but
Isabela says they have to go and calls for someone to take Carolina to Macario.

meet Isabela while Alejandro is preoccupied with thoughts of Carolina. When
they’re alone, Alex tells his cousins that he’s doubting his love for Isabela.
Isabela reveals that she’s only marrying Alex for his money and both Gladys and
Christa already know that she doesn’t love him. Alex says he was enchanted by Carolina.
Bianca asks him if his feelings are stronger for Carolina than his feelings for
Isabela; he says yes.
Macario likes Carolina a lot more than she
wants him to and makes her his personal assistant. Gonzalo tells the maid to leave
and tries to seduce Victoria. She encourages him in her quest for vengeance.
She insists that they be very discreet with their affair and barely manages to

and that somebody might catch them. He agrees to play her game and leaves. She
swears she’ll drive him crazy and get her revenge. He goes to get himself a
drink.
Alex says Carolina stole his heart and
Bianca tells him he’s either crazy or ill. He says he’s not going to marry
Isabela. Carolina tells Macario that she doesn’t think her mother will give her
permission to work as his personal assistant. He tells her it doesn’t matter
what her mother says and that his voice is the voice of the boss and what the
boss says outweighs what her mother says. She insists she needs to see her
mother.
Diego avoids his aunt because he doesn’t
want to answer any more questions about Luisa/Victoria while his aunt asks one
of the employees about her, bus she doesn’t discover much. Florencia tells

girlfriend or not. She also tells her sister that everybody at his ranch likes

and Christa talking about Isabela’s encounter with Carolina. Isabela says she
and Carolina are going to be enemies. Miguel stops Macario and tells him that
his father liked the idea he had about how to take away Ibarra’s lands. Macario
tells him something incredible happened to him and that he’s enchanted by Carolina.
He says he still likes Amalia, but that his feelings are different with
Carolina.
Carolina promises to keep Amalia’s secret
(that she‘s Macario‘s lover). Isabela complains about Carolina and
Luisa/Victoria overhears. The three are alerted to her presence and rush out
and find her. Diego wonders who killed Ramon and tried to frame him for the
murder. Don G and Gonzalo talk and Don G tells him he needs to leave the ranch
for a few months because he found a way to take Los Encinos from Ibarra and he also

thanks her but he’s not interested in anything the Monteros have to offer. Don
G tells Gonzalo that if anyone finds out Ramon’s death was Gonzalo’s fault then

dismisses her. Gladys says that she plans to get rid of Victoria but at the
moment they need the extra help. Christa wonders if Gladys is worried Gonzalo
might want Victoria, Isabela wonders the same thing, Gladys turns the
conversation back to Alejandro, Isabela and Carolina. She tells Isabela that
she had better obey Renato’s orders and make sure Carolina doesn’t steal Alex
away.
Victoria and Carolina come face to face
finally and she asks Carolina about Alejandro once Amalia leaves. She asks if she
in love with him. Isabela tells Alex that she’s really happy that soon they
will be married. Carolina tells her that she’s not in love with him. Victoria
doesn’t want her to be in love with him because they are cousins. Carolina
tells Victoria about being robbed and left by the side of the road and that
someone gave her money to get to the ranch. She asks who gave her the money and
Victoria discovers that it was Diego Ibarra.
Diego tells her to leave. She tells him she
wants a perfect marriage and that she thinks he’s hot. He accuses her of trying
to trap him for her father. Don G tells Gonzalo to take the woman with him and
leave immediately. Gonzalo doesn’t want to miss his son’s wedding and continues
to refuse to leave the ranch. Alex asks her what she thinks of his family’s
ranch. She tells him she doesn’t want to talk about the ranch, but would rather
talk about the wedding. He imagines Carolina in her place and kisses her only
to discover afterwards that he was merely daydreaming and that he’d actually
kissed Isabela.
Victoria makes Carolina promise never to
see Diego and tells her he‘s a bad man. Don G decides that the wedding will be
rushed and will happen in a few days so that Gonzalo won’t have to miss it.
Gonzalo asks where he should go. Don G suggests Europe. Victoria asks her if
she likes Diego but Carolina tells her that she likes Diego not for herself,
but for her (Victoria).
Lucrecia continues her marital campaign at
the Ibarra home. Florencia tells Constanza that Lucrecia is crazy and wants to
marry Diego Ibarra to make her father and Gladys angry and not for love.
Patricio wants badly to be a Montero and talks to his father about it, asking
him how come Florencia adopted him but he‘s still not treated the same as the
other Monteros. Constanza tells Florencia that her husband Ruben continues to
treat her badly and that sometimes she wishes she could trade places with
Lucrecia and live the single life or that she had a husband like Florencia‘s
Martin.
Gladys and Christa talk about Alex and Carolina.
Carolina tries to convince Victoria to like Diego. Victoria tells Carolina that
one day soon secrets will be revealed to her and that her destiny will change
because of it. Gonzalo asks Gladys what she’s planning and he accuses her of
having his father tell him to leave, but she denies knowing anything about it,
but he says she and his father are trying to trap him somehow. Don G tells
Ruben that he wants Gonzalo to leave because he doesn’t want him around when he
tries to take Los Encinos from Ibarra. Miguel arrives at Patricio’s and he
tells Miguel that it’s time to act. He says that if Don G disinherits Gonzzalo
the money will go to Miguel who is Gonzalo’s illegitimate half-brother. He says
they have to eliminate Alex as an heir, too.
Alex shows Isabela his horse and she
pretends to like the horses. Christa suggests to Gladys that Gonzalo has a
woman on his mind. Victoria decides to go see Diego Ibarra and pay him back.
Diego tells Lucrecia to leave and that
marriage isn’t in his plans. She asks if he’s in love with another woman.
Victoria asks where Diego is. Maria meets Carolina. Diego’s aunt asks who
Victoria is and rushes to go and meet her. Diego tells Lucrecia his private
life is none of her business. She says she’s going to fight for him, kisses him
and Victoria walks in followed by Carolina. Lucrecia’s surprised to see
Victoria and Diego is surprised to learn that Victoria is a servant. Lucrecia
wants to know why she’s there. Maria tells Diego’s aunt that Victoria lost
everything and now has to work for a living. Victoria tells her she’s there to
return Diego’s money. Lucrecia tells Diego that he prefers young women. He
tells all three of them to leave.
Victoria refuses to leave before he tells
her why he gave Carolina money and tells him no to ever come close to her.
Lucrecia is amused. Gonzalo looks for Victoria. Gladys doesn’t want the whole
world to know that her husband is unfaithful to her and that she’s going to
throw out whatever woman he’s seeing. Victoria repeats her question. Lucrecia
decides to leave, but promises to come back, then tells Carolina that when they
get back to the ranch, she wants to talk to her.
After Lucrecia leaves, his aunt arrives
along with Maria Diego asks Carolina what she told her mother about him. Victoria
tells him not to yell at her daughter. Lucrecia tells Constanza that she wants
Diego Ibarra and that she will marry him for love. Diego tells Victoria not to
yell at him in his own house and asks how she could insinuate that he has bad
intentions towards Carolina when he‘s old enough to be her father. Diego‘s aunt
and Maria take Carolina from the room.
Diego asks Victoria if she thinks he’s so
depraved that he would result to seducing innocents like Carolina. In Paris,
Renato talks to Christa on the phone and orders her to make sure that Isabela
marries Alex and threatens to kill them both if they don’t follow his orders
and get him a lot of money. Isabela asks Alex when they’ll get married and
suggests the end of the week. He presents Isabela to Macario Christa tells
Renato that Don G is a lot stronger than originally thought, but Renato tells
her to have sex with him again and try to give him a heart attack.
Carolina asks Diego’s aunt what he’s going
to do to her mother, but she assures Carolina that her nephew is good and won’t
hurt her. Diego asks Victoria if she thinks he likes innocent and Victoria
tells him that she thinks that he likes everybody and points out to him that
she caught him kissing Lucrecia. He thinks she’s jealous. Alex asks Macario about
Carolina and tells him to treat her well and Isabela is jealous. Macario
leaves.
Victoria tells Diego she’s not jealous and
doesn’t care what he does in his private life.
“It doesn’t interest you?” he asks.
“No. Absolutely, not.” She says that as far
as she’s concerned, “You can stay with your Lucrecia Montero!”
“You know what? I don’t think you’re
serious. I don’t think you want me to be with Lucrecia Montero.”
Sarcastically she asks if he wants her to
fight Lucrecia for him. He says, “Maybe.”
Lucrecio refuses to forget the past and
tells Constanza that she and Florencia aren’t honoring the pledge they made to
send for their daughter someday. Lucrecia says she doesn’t care what her father
thinks about her and Diego.
Victoria tells Diego to never come near her
or daughter again. He says , “Okay, but the weird thing is that you’re the one
always looking for me.”
“Yes, I looked for you, but not because I
like you.”
“That’s too bad..because I like you--I like
you a lot,” he says, then kisses her. She pushes him away and slaps him.
She tells
him, she’s never going to be somebody’s mistress and especially not for someone
like him.
He says,
“I’m not thinking about making you my mistress. I want you to be my wife.”

Diego kisses Victoria. She pushes him away
and slaps him.
She tells him, she’s never going to be
somebody’s mistress and especially not for someone like him.
He says, “I’m not thinking about making you
my mistress. I want you to be my wife.”
She doesn’t believe him and tells him he
doesn’t even know her name. He tells her it doesn’t matter because he’s in love
with her.
She tells him to “Listen closely, Diego
Ibarra, I’m not going to let you make fun of me! I’m not going to let you make
fun of Victoria Salinas!”
He tells her she has a lovely name and that
he’s not making fun of her and that he fell in love with her the first time he
saw her and can’t get her out of his mind. She tells him she’s going to find
out what he’s up to and tries to walk away. He stops her and swears that he’s
in love with her. She says those must be the same words he used when he told
Lucrecia he wanted to marry her.
Talking to Constanza, Lucrecia tells her
she thinks there’s another woman Diego’s interested in but that she’s going to
find out who. Don G tells Ruben about his plan to take Ibarra’s land and that
Miguel gave him the idea, but curses the day his illegitimate son came to the
ranch and blames him for his wife’s death and vows never to give Miguel legal
recognition as his son.
Patricio tries to convince Miguel to help
him and Macario destroy the bond between Don G and Alex so that Don G will have
no choice but to make Miguel a legal heir, but Miguel doesn’t want to do
anything that might anger Don G and thinks that now that he’s given his father
a way to get the Ibarra ranch that his father will name him a Montero. Patricio
tries to convince him otherwise, but Miguel won’t hear it.
Carolina tells Diego’s aunt and Maria that
she’s in love with someone but that he has a girlfriend. Alex dreams about her
when Isabela arrives and asks him where he wants to have the wedding. Alex
introduces Don G to Isabela. Maria walks Carolina home while Diego’s aunt
decides to eavesdrop. Victoria gives Diego his money and tells him never to
come near her or Carolina again. He asks her if she still doesn’t believe that
he wants to marry her and she says she doesn’t believe anything he says. He
says he wants to get to know her better and that he thinks she might be hiding
something. He asks what she’s doing working in the Montero’s ranch and when she
lies, he tells her that it makes no sense that a little while ago she wanted to
buy his ranch, but now she’s working as a servant and asks her again to tell
him what she’s hiding.
Don G tells Alex that he wants him to be
faithful to Isabela while Isabela talks to Bianca about Alex. Carolina asks
Maria what big secret Victoria is hiding from her, but Maria won’t tell her.
Macario arrives, asks Carolina where she and Victoria were all day and tells
her he was looking for them all day long.
Diego tells Victoria that it’s too bad he
doesn’t have the money to hire more employees because she would be better off
at his ranch than with the Monteros. She tells him they’re never going to see
each other again and leaves. He smiles when she laughs and says there’s no
doubt in his mind that she’s the love of his life even though she’s stubborn.
Victoria is stopped in the kitchen by Flora who introduces herself and tells
her Carolina went back to the ranch. Macario dismisses Maria and tells Carolina
he’s going to show her where she and her mother are going to sleep, then Amalia
walks in and leaves with Carolina.
Flora tells Victoria that Diego’s not lying
to her and admits that she was listening at the door while they were talking.
Victoria tells her nothing’s ever going to happen between her and Diego when
Maria arrives. When Flora leaves, Victoria tells Maria that the Ibarra family
is full of crazies and Maria tells her that she’s worried about Carolina and
that she thinks Macario likes her a little too much and that he‘s a bad person.
Gonzalo awaits in the room Victoria and Carolina are sharing when Carolina
arrives. He asks where Victoria is. Amalia waits for Macario in his room. Maria
tries to talk Victoria into forgetting her plans and asks if the reason she
won’t stop and go back to California is because of Diego.
Diego tells Flora that he has to forget
Victoria but she tells not to be a coward and fight for her. Victoria refuse
because she’s already set her plans into motion. Gonzalo tells Carolina not to
be afraid of him and that he’s not like his father and that he’s going to tell
Macario to move her an her mother out of that room and get Carolina her very
own room, but Carolina says they prefer having the same room when Victoria and
Rocio walk in.
Christa tells Isabela that she needs to
have sex with Alex so he can stop thinking about Carolina and Christa tells her
that Gladys knows that she’s going to Alex’s room and that Gladys will make
sure no one catches them. The maid tells Gladys that Gonzalo likes Victoria
while Victoria tells Carolina that she and Gonzalo are friends. Victoria
politely asks him to leave and says she’ll see him tomorrow. Carolina says she
doesn’t like him and that Macario makes her uncomfortable and that he’s the
lover of the only friend and Victoria asks her is she likes Alex.
Isabela goes to Alex’s room and climbs into
bed with him and kisses him. He says he’s sorry but he can’t do it. She gets
angry and asks if it has to do with Carolina. He tells her it has nothing to do
with her and that he didn’t know she could be so jealous. She orders him to
tell her what he feels for Carolina and if he prefers Carolina instead of her.
Carolina tells Victoria that she can’t
stand the Montero ranch and Macario and that she hates that they lost
everything and she doesn’t have a real home. She wonders why they have to wok
there when they could find work at thousands of other places. When she asks if
they could possibly find work at the Ibarra ranch, Victoria tells her that will
never happen. Diego tells German what happened earlier with Victoria and that
he asked her to marry him and German tells him he shouldn’t have proposed too
soon. Victoria tells Carolina Diego is a bad man and asks her about Alex again
while Alex tells Isabela that he feel sorry for Carolina. He tells her he won’t
be intimate with her because someone might find them. Gladys tells Christa that
Gonzalo wants Victoria and that tonight’s the last night Victoria spends at the
ranch. Victoria tells Carolina that Alex is forbidden (she thinks Carolina and
Alex are cousins but still won‘t tell Carolina).
Macario wonders when the day will come that
the ranch will be all his and swears that it will happen one day and goes to
answer his door. Patricio walks in and tells him they have to talk about Miguel
while Miguel tells Gerardo that soon he’ll legally be his uncle and that he’ll
have the Montero name and Gerardo congratulates him and asks for some money.
Miguel tells him to take what he needs out of his wallet and Gerardo pulls out
several bills. Miguel is surprised and asks him if he lost a wager on a game.
Patricio and Macario talk about getting their hands on the Montero ranch and
Macario tells him he interrupted him and Amalia. Patricio leaves, but hears a
sound. He asks who’s there, but no one answers; then, he says, “I hope Isabela
is infertile.”
Isabela continues her seduction and makes
him promise that tomorrow they’ll go to a hotel where no one will catch him.
When she leaves, he wonders how he’s going to tell her the truth. Outside,
Isabela tells herself she needs a drink and runs into Patricio who introduces
himself and she does the same, still dressed in her underwear and robe. They
flirt, then kiss and he tells her he has to go but that he’ll see her tomorrow.
Gonzalo finds Victoria and kisses her on the neck, then on the mouth, then leaves.
She curses him and she asks God how Carolina could have feelings for her own
cousin.

and she asks God how Carolina could have feelings for her own cousin. As she
daydreams about Diego, thinks about her and damns all woman when Lucrecia
arrives.
German listens as Victoria tells Maria that
she and Carolina have to leave the ranch immediately. Lucrecia continues her
attempt at seduction while Victoria tells Maria that Carolina is in love with
Alex. Carolina’s working with one of the horses when Alex arrives and tells her
they’re going to go riding. Maria thinks Carolina is really Victoria’a and
doesn’t know that Carolina is really Mariana and one of the Montero sisters’
daughter.
As German listens, Victoria tells her she
thinks Gladys knows that she’s Luisa and is going to fire her. Alex and
Carolina almost kiss. Christa tells Gladys she saw Alex leaving with Carolina
as Victoria eavesdrops. Christa tells Gladys that Renata’s going to be angry if
Alex doesn’t marry Isabela and Gladys says he’ll tell everybody that Alex isn’t
Gonzalo’s son and that she had an affair during her honeymoon because Gonzalo
was always drunk and doesn’t know that he never touched her.
Victoria realizes that Carolina and Alex
aren’t cousins and wonders who Renato is. Isablea asks Martina about Patricio
and she learns he’s not a Montero as Martin and Florencia ask Patricio why he
would want to hurt Alex. Isabela says it’s too bad that Patricio isn’t a real
Montero because she likes him better than Alex while Alex tells Carolina that
his relationship with Isabela is a mistake and that there’s another woman he
wants and tries to kiss her, but she runs away.
Alex says he has no doubt that Carolina
feels the same way about him that he does about her and says that he’s going to
fight for her. Rocio finds Victoria and asks her where she’s been. Victoria
says she had a headache and needed some fresh air and Rocio tells her Gladys is
looking for her.
When Rocio leaves, Carolina arrives crying
and tells Victoria that she likes Alex a lot and that she thinks he feels the
same way about her. She says love hurts, Victoria agrees and Carolina asks if
she’s in love with someone too. Victoria says no.
Alex and Lucrecia have a meal and he tells
Lucrecia that since she’s a Montero their relationship would only be a brief
adventure and that he would never marry her. Victoria denies liking Diego and
tells Carolina she was mistaken earlier when she prohibited Carolina from
having a relationship with Alex. Martina arrives and tells Victoria Gladys
wants to talk to her. Lucrecia tells Diego she’s not an adventure and that they
will get married. He tells her he thinks she wants to marry him and by doing
so, her father thinks to control him through her. She insists she’s not a spy.
She kisses him and leaves.
Lucrecia tells Victoria that she’s sure
Carolina likes Diego and that she just came from breakfast with Diego. She also
says Victoria did a good thing when she went to Diego’s home to protect her
daughter and that Carolina isn’t the woman for Deigo and insists that Victoria
keep Carolina away from her. Victoria tries to tell her that Carolina doesn’t
like him like that. She tells Victoria that she likes and declares herself the
future Senora Ibarra. Victoria congratulates her and asks when they’ll marry.
Lucrecia says it’s a secret and tells her not to tell anybody.
Diego asks Maria about Victoria and tells
her that German told him that she was leaving. Maria tells Diego Victoria’s
leaving because she wants to protect her daughter. “Protect her from me?” he
asks. She says she wants to protect Carolina from something else, but also
wants to protect her (Victoria‘s) own feelings from Diego.
Carolina tells Amalia that she and Alex
almost kissed. Isabela overhears Amalia insulting her and Isabela starts a
fight. Carolina tries to break up the fight and calls for help. Help comes in
the form of Don Gregorio who reprimands both girls and asks Carolina who
started it. Carolina tells him Isabela started it and he asks to see them both
(Amalia and Isabela) separately in his office.
Diego asks Maria if Victoria thinks he’s
going to do something bad to her. Gonzalo speaks to Lucrecia alone while
Victoria asks Rocio if Lucrecia is crazy. Rocio says that a lot of people think
so. Alone with Gonzalo, they are amazed at the fact that the whole world thinks
erroneously that Lucrecia is crazy and that Gonzalo is a drunk when they truth
is they have bad intentions. Lucrecia learns that Gonzalo wants Victoria.
Victoria wants to make Alex and Carolina a
big part of her plans for revenge. Diego tells German he’s going to fight for
Victoria. Miguel tells Macario that he’s going with Don G to town to report
Diego Ibarra’s ranch and tells Macario that it was his idea and his father is
going to thank him for it. Macario tells him that Don G and Ruben already went
without him. Miguel is upset because his father took his idea and didn’t take
him to town with him and Macario tries to talk him in joining him and Patricio
in trying to get their hands on Don G legacy.
Diego and German chatter about Diego’s
feelings for Victoria. Gonzalo tells Lucrecia he’s going to tell Macario to
find a cabin where Victoria can live. Isabela yells at Carolina when Don G and
Amalia leave. Alex tells her to step and she grabs his arm and pulls him away.
Alex tells Isabela that Amelia’s a little bit crazy when Gladys and Christa
arrive for the meal celebrating Isabela’s arrival. Gladys tells Victoria to go
to her room and that she wants to talk to her alone. Alex asks Victoria what’s
wrong, but she tells him to ask his mother and leaves.
Victoria decides that if Gladys wants to
fire her, she blackmail her with the knowledge that Alex isn’t really Don
Gregorio’s grandson. Victoria realizes that the reason why she doesn’t want to
leave is really because she doesn’t want to be far away from Diego Ibarra.
Diego learns someone’s there to inspect the ranch. Gladys arrives and tells
Victoria she’s fired and to get off her land. Victoria tell Gladys she can’t
make her go because Victoria knows that Gladys cheated on Gonzalo and that Alex
isn’t really a Montero.

Diego announces that he’s not selling his ranch
to Don Gregorio and makes Don G very angry. Diego tells him that he’ll never
get his hands on Diego’s land and Don G asks him if he can have Los Encinos if
he gives him another ranch twice the size of Los Encinos in a place far away.
Diego refuses.
Miguel tells Ruben, Martin, and that he
thinks Diego’s up to something and doesn’t really want to sell his ranch.
Martin tells Miguel that he thinks Diego is a good person. Ruben tells him that
there’s nothing Miguel can do that will make Don G like him while in the
background, the Montero sisters and Gonzalo note the way Ruben is always
bothering Miguel. Ruben tells Miguel that Don G will always blame him for his
wife’s death. Patricio has to stop Miguel from attacking Ruben.
Diego accuses Don G of having illegitimate
children, then Don G tells him he’s illegitimate too and that his name isn’t
really Diego Ibarra--it’s Diego Navarro. Diego tells him that out of respect
for Don G’s age, he won’t hurt him, but warns him not to insult his mother
again. Don G says sooner or later that he’ll have Diego’s lands, but Diego
swears otherwise.
Flora tells the inspectors not to listen
everyone’s gossip after the inspectors aren’t able to find anything wrong with
the ranch. The inspectors insists it’s a routine inspection, but she doesn’t
believe him. Macario asks Diego if he sold Don G the land and Diego tells him
to ask his boss. Lucrecia wonders if there’ll be a double wedding with her and
Diego and Isabela and Alex. Constanza wonders what their father will do when he
finds out. Lucrecia tells them not to worry about the gossip that Diego’s a
murderer when she sees Diego walk by.
Gladys tells Christa that Victoria is
Renato’s spy and that she knows Alex isn’t a Montero. Christa doesn’t remember
ever seeing Renato with Victoria. Gladys tells her that having Victoria spying
on her makes her really nervous.
Don G tells Macario what happened with
Diego. Diego tells Lucrecia that he didn’t sell her father his ranch.
As Don G talks to Ruben about what happened
with Diego, Lucrecia arrives and asks Don G why he didn’t buy Diego’s land and
he tells her it’s none of her business. She tells him that she can help him get
Los Encinos but he tells her to get out and that nobody asked for her help and
that no daughter of his would ever get close to Diego Ibarra.
Alex tells his cousins Gerardo and Bianca
that he’s not going to marry Isabela and calls himself a coward and wonders how
he’ll tell Isabela that he’s in love with Carolina and not with her. Patricio
watches Isabela come out of the pool in a bathing suit and begins flirting with
her. He tells her that Alex is an idiot and she agrees and accidentally tells
him that marrying Alex is an obligation. He’s surprised and asks what she
means. She tells him that it’s not and obligation and that she wants Alex.
Patricio tells her that wanting and loving are two different things. Carolina
tells Amalia that she’s going to fight for Alex and that she has feelings for
him.
Victoria goes for a walk and Diego goes to
find her. When he does, he asks if he can give her a ride somewhere, but she
says she doesn’t want to ride the horse and that she prefers to walk. He
decides to walk with her. She asks him what he wants and he tells her he wants
to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her. She tells him to forget
about her and that he doesn’t even know why she came to the Montero ranch and
he tells her that it doesn’t matter what secrets she may have because they
won’t change the way he feels about her. She asks if he thinks she’s in love
with him and he says no. He doesn’t think she’s in love with him--he knows
she’s in love with him and he‘s completely sure of it. She tells him to stop
trying to tell her what she feels and he asks why she’s trying to run away from
love. He tells her he wants to free her feelings and they kiss each other. He
tells her he’ll do whatever he has to in order to get her to marry him and
tells her that he loves her. She tells him thank you, but she isn’t worth it.
He tells her to let him decide for himself. She tells him that one day he’ll
discover that she’s a hard and cruel woman. He tells her she could never be
that way and that whenever he looks in her eyes he sees pain, anguish and a
longing to be loved.
Patricio asks Isabela if she’d like to go
horseback riding so he can show her around the ranch and she says Alex already
showed her and that she was bored. She rubs a piece of fruit across Patricio’s
mouth and then she eats it. He asks if she was bored by Alex or the ranch and
they laugh and she says the ranch bored her. Patricio tells her that if Alex
doesn’t take her to town that she can call him on his cell phone and he’ll take
her. He runs a flower over her chest seductively while Gladys and Christa
watch.
Christ and Gladys want to do something
about Patricio and Isabela. Ruben attempts to insult the Montero sisters and
Martin defends his wife and sisters-in-law. Martin and Ruben argue and Martin
tells Ruben that in his home, no one gives orders that have to be obeyed and no
one has to submit to anyone else. He says that he and his wife, Florencia are
two civilized adults. Don G stops them and tells Martin that a man has to
control his women, but Martin says he doesn’t believe a man has to control a
woman. Don G says that if a woman doesn’t have a strong man to control her,
she’ll end up like Lucrecia who thinks she can act like a slut and seduce Diego
into selling his ranch. Martin defends Lucrecia, asking Don G what he’s going
to do to her now that he’s already ruined her life. Then he asks Don G if Lucrecia
could be in love with Diego.
Lucrecia tells her sisters that Diego made
fun of their father when he offered to sell his ranch while Diego continues to
follow Victoria on her walk. She asks if he ever plans to go away and says he
wants to protect her. She reminds him that he’s on Montero land and he asks if
she’ll defend him if a Montero catches him on their land. She smiles and asks
if he’s ever serious and he tells her he was serious when he asked her to marry
him.
Don G tells Martin that the only reason
Lucrecia is interested in Diego is to help him and not because she’s in love
with him while Martin suspects otherwise. He asks Don G is he noticed the way
Lucrecia looked at Diego when they were all eating at Isabela‘s welcoming
dinner. Don G refuses to believe it while Lucrecia tells her sister she’s not
going to let Don G ruin her life again.
When Martin leaves, Don G curses the hour
that he married Florencia and that he was mistaken to allow their marriage.
Florencia supports Lucrecia but Constanza tries to talk some sense into her.
Martin walks in and tells them he had an argument with their father and tells
Florenicia that they should get ready to go and leaves to find Patricio.
Lucrecia tells Constanza not to make Ruben angry and that if she does he’ll
make her pay for it. Then she makes a fist and insinuates that Ruben will hit
Constanza.
Martin finds Patricio sitting way too close
to Isabela and Patricio tells him he’s going to stay with Isabela. When Martin
leaves, Isabela wonders if his father misinterpreted what he saw. Patricio
tells her to let his father think whatever he wants to think.
Gonzalo tells Macario to discreetly set
aside a cabin that will be his secret love nest that he’ll share with a woman
who’ll give him the kind of pleasure that Gladys never gave him. Isabela goes
to her room with Gladys and Christa. Gladys slaps Isabela and yells at her
about Patricio. She asks what they were doing and Isabela tells her that they
were just talking and tells her it’s not her fault that Alex abandoned. Christa
and Gladys reminds her of Renato’s orders and they threaten to tell Renato
about her and Patricio.
Victoria ends her walk with Diego and tells
him it’s better that he leaves before the Monteros catch him on their land. He
asks if she’s afraid something will happen to him. She tells him that she just
doesn’t want any problems. He agrees to leave, but promises to return. She
insists that they can’t be together and that she can’t love anyone, but he
doesn’t believe him. As he walks away, she swears she won’t forget her plans,
not even for Diego. She says her revenge comes first but hopes that afterwards,
there’ll be time for love.
Alex tells Don G that he wants to talk
about his wedding, but Don G tells they’ll talk about it later and says they
have business to discuss. Alex finds out that Diego didn’t sell the ranch and
that he was just making fun of Don G. Diego goes home and his aunt tells him
she was worried. Diego apologizes for worrying her and learns that the
inspectors found nothing wrong with his ranch. He also tells German and Flora
that he made fun of Don G.
Victoria enters a cabin with food she was
supposed to deliver and finds Don Chema, an old friend of her grandmother’s who
recognizes her and calls her Luisa.

her why she’s returned and she admits that she came for payback. Don G curses
Diego Ibarra as Alex daydreams about Carolina. Ruben tells Alex that Lucrecia
is completely crazy and likes Diego while Constanza tries to talk Lucrecia out
of wanting to marry Diego Ibarra, but Lucrecia isn’t concerned that he might
throw her off his land. Alex tells Don G that he doesn’t see any reason why
Lucrecia being in love with Diego is a bad thing but Don G refuses to listen.
As he leaves to go to his room, he tells Alex that he’s got to toughen up and
that he doesn’t know how long he has left to live and wants to leave peacefully
knowing that Alex has everything under control. Don G tells Alex to forget
about Isabela and try to think of a way to get Los Encinos away from Diego
while Diego talks to his aunt and German about how he made fun of Don G earlier
when he pretended he wanted to sell his ranch.
Diego tells his aunt Flora that he is going
to fight for Victoria. Luisa/Victoria asks Don Chema not to tell anyone who she
really is and he tells her she’s playing with fire. Don Gonzalo inspects the
cabin he wants to share with Luisa/Victoria as she tells Don Chema that she’s
going to make Don Gonzalo fall in love with her.
Gladys and Christa tell Isabela that if she
doesn’t leave Patricio alone and marry Alex, Renato will murder all of them.
Gladys and Christa think that Victoria is Renato’s spy and that she won’t let
Carolina thwart Isabela’s plans to marry Alex. Don Chema gives Luisa/Victoria
that she has his support and won’t reveal her secrets. Gladys, Christa, and
Isabela think that Carolina is a back-up bride and that her presence means that
if Isabela fails to marry Alex, Renato will tell Carolina to seduce Alex into
marriage.
Macario tells Don Gonzalo that if Victoria
isn’t what he expected to inform him and Gonzalo asks if Macario would offer
him Amalia for a night or two and Macario offers to share her. He tells Don
Gonzalo that he’s never going to marry Amalia and that he’s considering making
another woman the mother of his children --Carolina, and says she drives him
crazy. Amalia tries to advise Carolina on how to seduce and keep a man and
Carolina tells her that she wishes her mother and Diego Ibarra could be
together and doesn’t want Lucrecia to cause her mother problems.
Luisa/Victoria asks Don Chema to read her
fortune and he tells her he’ll do it another time and he tells her he doesn’t
need the cards to tell him that her future will be full of pain and that she
will have to choose between her revenge and true love.
Diego asks his aunt, Maria, and German to help
him discover Luisa/Victoria’s past to find out why she is the way she is. His
aunt suggests they ask Carolina and suggests they ask Rocio. They toast to
Luisa/Victoria when Lucrecia arrives to inform all present that the only woman
that will be his wife is her. Don Gonzalo offers to show Victoria their cabin.
He shows her the bed and rubs her legs. She stops him and tells him to have
patience and tells him he has a surprise for her and he warns her not to play
games with him.
Flora tells Lucrecia that Diego has already
made his decision and that he doesn’t want to marry Lucrecia. She insists that
he’ll change his mind. Flora disagrees. Diego asks Maria to get Lucrecia a
glass of wine since it seemed Lucrecia wasn’t leaving any time soon. Lucrecia
is surprised and Diego tells her she’s confused and tells her they have some
things to clear up. He tells her that he’s never going to marry her.
Florencia tells her husband Martin that she
admires Lucrecia for standing up to their father, but that she’s worried and
wonders why their father is so cruel. Diego asks his family to leave him alone
with Lucrecia for a moment. He tells her he doesn’t want to hurt her and asks
why she’s so stubborn. He tells her his heart belongs to another woman and she
points out that the other woman doesn’t feel the same.
Don Gonzalo tells Victoria he’ll wait until
night. Diego asks he how she could possible know that the other woman doesn’t
want to be with him and she says that if the other woman wanted to be with him,
she would be at his side. Rocio tells Victoria that Don Chema has his own cabin
thanks to Macario because when Don G found out the old man couldn’t work, he
wanted to throw him off the Montero ranch. Christa wonders if maybe Gladys
might be in love with her husband Gonzalo and Gladys assures her that she hates
Gonzalo.
Victoria tells Gladys of her plans. Alex
assures his cousin Gerardo that he’s certain of his feelings for Carolina and
that he wants to marry her while Amalia attempts to instruct Carolina on how to
seduce a man and asks Carolina to take a bag to Macario’s room for her.
Nervous and hoping Macario isn’t there,
Carolina takes Amalia’s things to Macario’s room and he finds her there.
Lucrecia asks Diego why the woman he loves isn’t by his side and tells him to
tell her what the other woman’s problem is and that maybe she (Lucrecia) can
compensate. Diego tells her he’s not going to marry her and asks her to leave
and she does, promising to come back the next day. She stops suddenly and turns
to ask him if the other woman is Carolina and he yells at her telling her he’s
old enough to be Carolina’s father and that he isn’t a pervert. Lucrecia tells
him that Carolina likes him and he’s shocked.
Carolina tells Macario that Amalia asked
her to bring something to his room and shows him the siren costume Amalia
wanted to surprise him with that night. Macario tells Carolina that he doesn’t
like sirens and prefers a beautiful, shy, innocent woman like Carolina.
Carolina tells him that Amalia is her friend and he tells her he can’t lie and
that he likes her and tries to kiss her. She manages to run out of the room
before he can kiss her.
Diego tells Lucrecia that what she says
isn’t true and she tells him that she’s going to find out who the other woman
is. She plants a kiss on him, he pushes her away, and she leaves. Diego thinks
he understands Victoria’s attitude. Don Gonzalo and Gladys trade insults.
Victoria tells Carolina that she has to go
and talk to Maria. Isabela tries to kiss Alex, but he stops her telling her he
doesn’t want to do that in a restaurant and that they’re going to have dinner
and discuss a few things. She accuses him of not wanting to be with her and
thinks that he’s thinking about Carolina. In her cabin, Carolina dreams about
kissing Alex.
Flora tells Diego that Lucrecia is crazy
and he tells his aunt that the time he spent kissing Victoria that afternoon
were the sweetest moments of his life and that he doesn’t doubt that she loves
him. Diego tells Flora that he thinks the reason why Victoria won’t marry him
is because she doesn’t want to upset her daughter Carolina.
Victoria waits in the cabin for Gonzalo. When he arrives, he kisses her neck and is shocked when Gladys bangs on the door, yelling, “Who are you cheating on me with now? Open the door!!”

Gladys bangs on the cabin door, yelling at
Gonzalo, “Who are you cheating on me with now?” Victoria goes into the other
room as Gonzalo throws the door open. Gladys looks in the other room, but
doesn’t see Victoria. Gonzalo lies and says he’s only there to find a little
peace from her. He tells her he’s tired of fighting and she says that she’s
tired of it, too. She asks if they can forget everything for one night. “You’re
my husband and you haven’t touched me in years. Please, make love to me.”
He tells her he’ll never make love with her
because he hates her and tries to leave. She begs him to stay and tells him she
only wants a moment with him. She says she wants him to make her feel like a
woman and opens her robe and tries to kiss him. He pushes her away roughly. In the
other room, Victoria wonders if Gladys is in love with Gonzalo.
Diego tells his Aunt Flora that he won’t
allow Victoria to sacrifice their love just because Carolina wants him. He says
he could never want Carolina because he thinks of her as if she were his own
daughter. Flora tells him that she doesn’t think Carolina wants Diego, but is
sure that Carolina told Maria that she liked some other young man.
Gonzalo pushes her away form him and tells
her he’ll never be intimate with her and that he only married her because his
father made him. She insults him and tries to slap him. He catches her arm and
warns her against trying to hit him again and she tells him to hit her because
he’s the type of man who would hit a woman. He informs her that she’s not a woman.
He tells her she’s dirty and that she’s a hypocrite and a witch. When he
leaves, she cries and says she’s always loved him and that if she’s a witch
it’s because he made her that way. Victoria overhears in the other room. Gladys
says that it hurts her when he cheats on her, then curses him and Don Gregorio
in the same breath. Victoria walks in and asks Gladys about her love for
Gonzalo.
Gonzalo tells Miguel that he wanted to
marry a poor woman a long time ago, but that she disappeared and he had to stay
with Gladys. They get drunk and Gonzalo tells him how much he likes Victoria as
Miguel rages at the fact that his father won’t give him his last name.
Gladys tells Victoria that she loves
Gonzalo but hates him, too, because he never wanted her. Gladys asks Victoria
why she hates Gonzalo. Victoria tells Gladys that she hates all alcohol. Once
she’s alone, Gladys cries and wonders why Gonzalo hates her so much. She swears
she’s going to hurt Gonzalo when her son and Renato finally get the Montero
fortune. Miguel asks Gonzalo why he doesn’t look for his lovers far away in the
city and he tells him that he prefers the women on the ranch (las campesinas).
Later, Gonzalo falls asleep on the couch and Miguel falls asleep on the floor
next to him.
Victoria watches Carolina sleep and, in her
mind, says that even though Carolina is a Montero, she wants her to be happy.
Isabela asks Alex to go to the hotel with him and he tells her that they can’t
make love again. Alex tells Isabela that he’s not going to marry her. He tells
her he’s not sure of his feelings for him. Angry, she throws her drink on him
and storms out of the restaurant. Maria assures Diego that Carolina likes Alex
Montero.
Gerardo gambles at a casino and loses a lot
of money and they give him credit to play another hand. Alex interrupts and
Gerardo gets angry at him. He asks for Gerardo’s help in finding Isabela.
Isabela gets a hotel room and wonders what to do and cries, knowing that if she
can’t get Alex to marry her, Renato will kill her. Patricio tells Florencia
that he’ll always love her like a mother and she tells him not to ruin things
with Alex and Isabela. He kisses her on the forehead but tells her that he
can’t make any promises.
Isabela calls Patricio to come pick her up
at a hotel in Fort Lauderdale and when he arrives, she tells him that Alex
doesn’t want to marry her anymore. When Gladys gets home, she trades insults
with Lucrecia before going to her bedroom. She finds Christa waiting for her
and learns that she overheard Bianca talking to Alex on the phone and found out
that Isabela’s disappeared.
Diego sneaks into Victoria’s room and wakes
her up. He tells her he wants to talk to her alone and doesn’t want to wake Carolina
who’s sleeping in the other bed. When she reminds him that he’s on Montero land
and that they’ll kill him if they catch him there, he asks if she’s worried
about him because she’s in love with him.
Diego turns his back to Victoria so she can
put on a robe and tells her how much he loves her. “You fascinate me.
Everything about you. Your voice, your smile that you rarely use,” he says.
When he mentions her eyes, she realizes she’s not wearing her contacts and
quickly puts them in. He tells her not to worry and that he’s not going to do
what she thinks he’s going to do. She asks him how he could possibly know what
she’s thinking and he tells her that he can read minds and that’s how he knows
she thinks he’s going to take advantage of her because she loves him. He them
says that he can also read hearts and informs her that her heart wants him to
take advantage of her. She tells him she’s not going anywhere with him and
gives two reason why: 1) “It’s very late at night, and 2) “You’re crazy.”
She lets him turn around and orders him to
tell her whatever he has to say quietly so that they won’t wake Carolina. He
tells her he wants to talk to her about Carolina and talks her into to going
outside with him. Diego tells her that some people say that Carolina likes him
and Victoria tells him that Carolina likes Alex.
Alex doesn’t regret telling Isabela that
he’s not going to marry her but regrets doing it in a crowded restaurant and he
and Gerardo become very worried about her because they don’t know where she is.
Gerardo wonders how mentally stable Isabela is and wonders if she might try to
kill herself. They decide to go to the ranch and see if she’s there. Isabela
talks to Patricio about Alex. Isabela and Patricio kiss.
In Paris, Renato tells a woman named Denis
about his plans to get the Montero fortune. Gladys and Christa pull Bianca into
Gladys’ bedroom and asks her what happened between Alex and Isabela. Isabela
ends the kiss and accidentally says, “He’s going to kill me.” (talking about
Renato) and Patricio asks her who she’s talking about and she covers her slip
of the tongue and Patricio thinks she’s hiding something. When she asks for his
advice, he tells her to leave Alex and stay with him.
Carolina dreams about kissing Alex, then
Alex’s face turns into Macario’s . She wakes up and finds her mother gone.
Macario finds Amalia in his bed. Christa tells Bianca that she accidentally
overheard Bianca’s conversation with Alex on the phone. Bianca tells Gladys
she’s not her mother and can’t give her orders, but admits that Alex and
Isabela had an argument and that Isabela has disappeared. Lucrecia finds
Constanza in the kitchen and accuses Ruben of giving Constanza a black eye.
Alex and Gerardo go home and they ask
Bianca where Isabela is and she tells them she doesn’t know and that Gladys and
Christa know that he had an argument with Isabela at the restaurant. Constanza
tries to deny it but finally tells Lucrecia that her husband Ruben was angry
with their son Gerardo for gambling and took his anger out on her.
Diego tells Victoria that he’s both happy
and sad that Carolina isn’t in love with him. He says he’s happy because he
doesn’t see her that way and he’s old enough to be her father, but he’s sad
because he thought that the reason Victoria wouldn’t marry him was because she
was afraid of hurting her daughter’s feelings and now he has to figure out why
she doesn’t want to marry him when he knows that she loves him. She asks him
how he’s so sure that she loves him and he tells her he can tell by the way they
kissed earlier in the afternoon.
Diego kisses Victoria while Lucrecia
assures Constanza that she’s going to marry Diego Ibarra. Alex tells Gladys and
Christa that he’s not going to marry Isabela. Isabela and Patricio arrive at

she asks him why he stole a kiss from her and he says it doesn’t matter and
reminds her that he’s an important person because he’s the foreman of the
entire ranch. He tells her that someone else in his position might take
advantage of her and that it would be dishonorable. He tells her again that he
wants to marry her and leaves. Carolina, frightened, cries after he’s gone.

and the only thing left for her to do is kill Carolina.
Don G tells Christa that if Alex is angry
with Isabela, then he must have a good reason. Christa assures him that Isabela
did nothing wrong and he tells her that Alex won’t cancel the wedding because
he knows how much Don G wants him to marry Isabela.
Amalia asks Carolina to help her pick out
some clothes so that she can pretend to be a decent, genuine, innocent,
virginal, sophisticated woman. Carolina realizes that Macario was describing
her when he told Amalia what he wanted but doesn’t tell her. She agrees to help
her and Amalia promises to help her with Alex.
Alex tells Don Gregorio he wants to talk to
him alone. Don G tells him he knows Alex fought with Isabela. He tells his
grandfather that the reason why he wants to cancel the wedding isn’t because of
something Isabela did to anger him and also tells him that he doesn’t want to
marry Isabela because he doesn’t love her.

opposing me?” Don G asks.

love with Carolina. Gladys tells Renato that Alex doesn’t want to marry Isabela
and that he’s canceled the wedding. Alex tells Don G that he doesn’t care if he
disinherits him and that he won‘t let him ruin his life like he ruined the
lives of Constanza and Lucrecia. Ruben grabs Constanza roughly and asks her
what she’s told Alex about him.
Don G thinks Alex is playing a game with
him, but Alex assures him that he’s not and that he’s not going to obey him and
marry Isabela and have a miserable life together like his parents. Lucrecia

Gonzalo that Gladys didn’t find her in the cabin the after he’d left and that
she’s worried Gladys will kill them both. Renato asks Isabela what she did to
make Alex call off the wedding. Gladys tells Renato that Alex and Isabela
fought at the restaurant and that Alex broke up with her because of one of the
spies he sent to watch them. Renato denies sending spies and accuses Victoria
of being an imposter.

Gladys finds out about them and Victoria tells him that they should end things
and that he should forget about her. He tells her that he’ll never forget her
and tires to kiss her. She ends the kiss and he asks if there’s another man in
her life. Diego and German meet with Mario Ramos, an agent from a company that
Diego owes money to.
Gladys and Isabela are shocked to learn
that Victoria isn’t one of Renato’s spies and tells Renato that she knows that
Alex isn’t really a Montero. Renato tells them that Christa was his spy and
that he wants to meet Victoria and that she will pay for meddling in his
business. Victoria tells Gonzalo to wait a week before they meet again so that
they can be sure that Gladys won’t catch them. He offers to get a hotel room in
the city where they can meet, buts she says no and that he has to accept her
proposal to meet in a week. He asks her what would happen if he didn’t accept
and she tells him that she has a friend at Los Encinos who will give her a job
there and Gonzalo will never see her again.
Maria tells German that Lucrecia was there
earlier and tells him that people say that she’s crazy. Lucrecia tells
Florencia that she offered Maria money to work for her as a spy and Florencia
tells her that she’s going about it the wrong way. Lucrecia vows that one day
Diego will be hers. Diego looks in his safe and pulls out a jewelry box his
mother left him when she died. She told him to give the jewelry to his wife.
Diego wants to give the jewelry to Victoria, but realizes that he has to sell
it. He vows that one day, he’ll buy the jewelry back and give it to her.
Lucrecia tells Florencia that Martin
(Florencia’s husband) wouldn’t be with her if he knew what they and Constanza
had done all those years ago. Amalia tells Carolina that she dresses up in
different costumes so that Macario won’t look at other women; she says he likes
having a different woman in his bed every night and that‘s why she dresses up.
Carolina wonders what Amalia would say if she knew about Macario’s interest in
her, but doesn’t say anything out loud. Carolina lets Amalia borrow her clothes
and tells her that it doesn’t bother her that she and her mother are poor
because finally her mother has fallen in love with Diego Ibarra.
Diego asks Maria to go to town and sell the
jewelry his mother left him. German tries to talk him out of it. Diego tells
him that he has to save Los Encinos even if he has to sell his soul. Gonzalo
locks himself and Victoria in his room and kisses her. Renato threatens Isablea
and Gladys and tells them to take him to see Don G and tells Isabela to go find
Alex and seduce him.
Alex tells his cousin Gerardo that their
grandfather threatened to disinherit him if he didn’t marry Isabela. When
Carolina and Amalia arrive, Carolina and Alex stare at each other. When Amalia
and Gerardo leave, Carolina asks Alex if he wants her to prepare his horse.
“No. I want to talk to you, but not here.” She asks, “Did something happen?” He
says, “Yes. I broke my engagement with Isabela because I don’t love her…I love
you.”
She asks,
“Did you really break your engagement? I don’t know what to say.”
“Just
tell me one thing….that you love me.”
“I love
you. Te amo con todo mi alma (I love you with all my soul.).” They kiss.
Isabela
arrive suddenly and tears them apart. “How dare you, Alejandro. You’re my
boyfriend and we’re engaged to be married!”
“No, Isabela. I already spoke to you and I
was honest. I’m not going to marry you because I don’t love you…”
Isabela
insults Carolina and Alex defends Carolina telling Isabela, “Carolina is the
one I love.”
Isabela
tells him it’s not going to be that easy to end their engagement and tells him
that her “uncle” has arrived and he won’t permit it.
Gladys introduces Renato to Don G and Don G
welcomes him but excuses himself. Gladys then introduces Renato to Constanza
and Ruben seems irritated when Renato kisses Constanza’s hand. He immediately
excuses himself and Constanza. When he, Gladys and Christa are alone together,
Renato tells Christa, “I see you haven’t been doing your job.”
“I told you I was sorry, Isabela. Don’t
make things more difficult than they already are. I swear I didn’t want to hurt
you--that’s why I was honest with you,” Alex tells Isabela. She tells him to
give his excuses to her uncle and he tells her that it doesn’t matter that her
uncle has arrived and says he still won’t marry her. Isabela insults Carolina
and tries to attack her, but Alex pushes Isabela away.
Carolina tells her that none of it is her
fault and Alex says that it’s his fault because he fell out of love with
Isabela and in love with Carolina.
Isabela
tells Carolina, “Listen closely--I’ll die before I see you married to
Alejandro, Estupida!” She leaves them. Alex holds Carolina and kisses her on
the top of her head.
Victoria learns from Rocio that Alex told
Don G that he wasn’t going to marry Isabela and that Don G threatened to
disinherit him and Alex didn’t care. Victoria smiles and comments that Alex
doesn’t seem to be like any of the other Monteros. Worried about Carolina,
Victoria goes to find her and make sure Isabela isn’t bother her.
Maria tells Diego that Lucrecia was there
earlier and offered her money to find out the identity of the woman Diego is in
love with. Diego says that Lucrecia is crazy and tells Maria that he doesn’t
want Lucrecia to know it’s Victoria and worries that if she finds out, she’ll
try to hurt Victoria. Maria agrees with Diego when he says that Lucrecia is a
very strange woman and tells him that she worked for the Monteros a long time
and that she couldn’t tolerate her and Gladys anymore.
Lucrecia tells Florencia that Martin would
never want to see her again if he found out their secret and Florencia asks her
why she’s trying to blackmail her. “You know you can always count on my help.
You’ve changed a lot, Lucrecia. You don’t have to talk to me like this. You’re
hurting me. I never did anything to you. I’ve always, always supported you.”
Florencia asks her what she wants and Lucrecia tells her she will need her help
when it comes time to convince their father to let her marry Diego Ibarra. When
Lucrecia finally leaves, Florencia says, “Oh, God. This time Lucrecia has gone
completely crazy.”
In between trading insults, Gonzalo learns
from Gladys that Alex doesn’t want to marry Isabela. Carolina tells Alex that
she doesn’t know what Isabela’s capable of and she’s afraid. He tells her not
to worry and that he won’t let anybody hurt her. He asks her, “Vamos a ser
novios?” She responds, “Novios?” “Si, if you accept,” he says, then they kiss.
Isabela informs Renato and Christa that she
didn’t seduce Alex because she found him kissing Carolina and that Alex told
her that he didn’t love her any more. Alex asks Carolina if her mother will
accept their relationship when Victoria arrives. Alex tells her that he loves
Carolina and she loves him too. He wraps his arms around Carolina. Victoria
asks if he’s playing with Carolina’s feelings. He denies it and she reminds him
that he’s engaged to Isabela. He tells her that he broke up with Isabela the
night before. Victoria tells them that she wishes them all the happiness in the
world. Alex tells her that he wants her to know that his grandfather
disinherited him and that he doesn’t have any money and that he doubts he’ll
have any for a long time.
Victoria asks him, “Are you implying that I
want my daughter to be with you just because of your money?”
He asks
if she minds that he isn’t a rich man and asks her if maybe the Montero fortune
interests them. Gladys tells Renato that maybe Gonzalo can change Alex’s mind
and that Alex loves Gonzalo and Renato reminds her that Alex is his son and not
Gonzalo’s. He tells Gladys that if they don’t do what he orders, he’ll make
sure that Gonzalo learns the truth while Christa and Isabela beg him to give
them a few more days. He gives them one more week.
Victoria assures Alex not to worry and that
she doesn’t care if he’s rich or poor. She tells him that other mothers want
their daughters to marry wealthy men even if the daughters don’t want to and
that she’s not like those other mothers. She says she only wants her daughter
to be happy and be with the man she loves even if he doesn’t have any money.
Victoria thinks that the Monteros will go crazy when Alex and Carolina get
married and she makes the Monteros believe that they’re cousins, but doesn’t
say her thoughts out loud.
Miguel and Patricio are with Don G when
Ruben arrives. Patricio thinks Ruben is going to talk Don G into making Gerardo
his heir now that he’s disinherited Alex, but Miguel tells him that the Montero
fortune will be his and not Gerardo’s. Renato tells Christa he wants to know
who Victoria is and what game she’s playing and Christa asks Rocio where she
is. Rocio tells her she’s doing something for Macario, but Christa thinks she’s
hiding something. Christa tells Renato that he’ll have to wait because the
ranch is very big and Victoria could be somewhere far away.
Victoria brings food to Don Chema. She asks
him to read her fortune and he tells her it’s not the right time. She wants to
know what will happen to Carolina and he tells her Carolina will suffer a lot
and that she (Victoria) won’t have the power to prevent it because she’s the
one who will be responsible for her suffering. Alex and Carolina and she asks
Alex why he fell in love with her and tells him it’s like a dream and she never
thought she could be so happy. He tells her it isn’t a dream and that he’s in
love with her and that he has been since the day she fell into the street and
he almost hit her with his car. She tells him that she fell in love with him
the moment she opened her eyes and saw him. They kiss.
Victoria leaves Don Chema’s cabin and
thinks about his words. “My God, protect my child.” Renato puts his arm around
her and she thinks it’s Diego, but she turns around and discovers that it
isn’t. “Who are you?” He pretends to be surprised and he asks, “You don’t
recognize me?” Victoria tells him, “I’ve never seen you in my life.” He grabs
her roughly an tells her that she told Gladys that he sent her to the Montero
ranch and tells her, “I’m Renato Fallou and I want to know who the hell you are
and what game you’re playing.”

Episode Fourteen
Constanza begs her son Gerardo to try to
take Alex’s place as Don Gregorio’s heir and tells him that if he doesn’t his
father will be angry with her. Gerardo tells him he can’t because he’s nothing
like Alex and she tells him that if he doesn’t do it, Ruben will be angry with
her and hurt her. Ruben compliments Don G while they play golf, but Don G grows
tired of it and tells him to shut up for a moment and that he needs to
concentrate. Patricio assures Miguel that the Montero fortune will be his as
they watch Ruben talk to Don G.
Gladys tells Isabela that she should have
listened to her when she told her not to get involved with Patricio and Isabela
tells her it’s not her fault. Gladys tells her that Renato won’t see it that
way when she tells him about Isabela and Patricio. Isabela tells her to say
whatever she wants to Renato and that her secret will come out to and everyone
will finally know that Alex isn’t Gonzalo’s son. Gladys tells Isabela that she
doesn’t have to tell Renato anything because he’ll probably hear it from
Lucrecia.
Lucrecia tells Gonzalo that what Gladys said
was true and that Alex no longer wants to marry Isabela. Gonzalo is surprised.
Lucrecia informs him that Miguel, Patricio and Macario are proceeding with
their plans. He tells her that he doesn’t doubt her and that the three of them
could probably kill Don G if they left them alone.
Renato won’t let Victoria go and tells her
that even if she screams, no one will hear her. He threatens to kill her, then
she kicks him in the groin and runs. He catches her, threatens her life, kisses
her, and drags her away. Gladys informs Christa and Isabela that Victoria isn’t
a spy for Renato and they wonder if Victoria’s trying to get revenge on Renato
for something he did to her. Renato continues to drag Victoria by her hair.
When he stops, Victoria tells him if he doesn’t leave her alone, she’ll tell
everyone that Alex isn’t really a Montero. Renato pulls her skirt up and tries
to kiss her, but Edelmiro arrives and throws a rock that hits Renato in the
head and causes him to lose consciousness. Victoria checks Renato’s pulse and
discovers he’s still alive.
Don Chema worries about Victoria. Maria
informs Diego that Don G drove Lucrecia crazy because he was going to make her
marry a man he’d chosen for her. She says that the man left Lucrecia at the
altar and she’s never been the same since her wedding day. Gonzalo wishes he
was strong enough to stand up to Don G like Lucrecia and Alex.
Lucrecia remembers her wedding day when her
husband Roberto discovered she wasn’t a virgin. He beats her and calls her
names. When Don G arrives, Roberto accuses him of tricking him into marrying
Lucrecia and making him believe she was a virgin. Scared, Lucrecia begs her
father to help her, but Don G simply tells her it’s what she deserves and
stands by and lets Roberto beat Lucrecia. She swears she’ll never forgive her
father for what he tried to make her do and for refusing to defend her. She
tells Gonzalo that Don G offered Roberto money to continue with the wedding,
but Roberto refused. She tells Gonzalo that she’ll always hate her father for
ruining her life.
Ruben reminds Don G that he has another
grandson in Gerardo, but Don G tells him Gerardo is just like his mother and
will never change. He reminds Ruben that Gerardo is addicted to gambling and is
completely useless. Gerardo tells his mother Constanza that it’s not fair that
his father beats her. Ruben tells Don G that Gerardo isn’t like Gonzalo. Don G
promises to pay more attention to Gerardo, but that he still has hopes that
Alex will change his mind and marry Isabela. Alex and Carolina kiss and worry
about what Don G will do. Carolina assures Alex that they have Victoria’s
support and that she would do the impossible to make sure that she and Alex
will be happy.
Victoria runs into Amalia and tells her to
tell Macario that Renato needs help as Edelmiro informs informs Diego and
German that he saw Victoria being attacked by a man and that he hit the man
with a rock. Diego leaves in search of Victoria. Macario, Amalia, one of the
ranch employees and Victoria check on Renato and Victoria whispers to Renato
and tells him not to say anything. Macario and one of the ranch employees carry
Renato away.
Diego finds Victoria alone and asks if
she’s okay, then asks if someone tried to hurt her. She says yes and he tells
her that it was Edelmiro who saved her. He tells her that since Edelmiro works
for him, he’ll charge her for his services. He tells her that the price for
saving her life is a kiss. They kiss. Diego tells her that he won’t insist that
she tell him her secret, but wishes she would so that he could protect her. She
tells him that she wishes he could protect her from herself and he asks if the
person who attacked her was Gonzalo Montero.
“No, it was someone more dangerous than
Gonzalo Montero.”
Gonzalo tells Lucrecia that he’s going to
support Alex and that since Alex won’t inherit everything, he (Gonzalo) will
and promises her that he’ll share the fortune with her. He then asks her why
Alex won’t marry Isabela and she tells him that she caught Isabela kissing
Patricio. Miguel and Patricio arrive at Patricio’s home and Martin (his father)
asks Patricio if he’s told Miguel about his plans to seduce Isabela.
Isabela tends to the knot on Renato’s head
as Renato tells them that he must have been attacked by one of Victoria‘s
accomplices. He tells them (Gladys, Christa, and Isabela) they have to find out
who she is and who her accomplices are. Isabela vows to get rid of Victoria and
Carolina. Rocio tells Macario that Don G threatened to disinherit Alex and
reveals that Alex is in love with Carolina. Macario is not pleased with that
information. He tells her it’s impossible and becomes very angry. When he walks
away, Rocio wonders if he’s interest with Carolina. Alone, Macario vows to make
Carolina his wife.
Alex tells Carolina to stop worrying about
all their problems and stop thinking about how angry his family will be and
simply enjoy their time together. He says, “Whatever happens, we’ll always be
together. I swear, my love” She tells him that he’s her first boyfriend and he
says he wants to be her last. She promises he will be her one and only and that
she’s never felt for any other man the way she feels for him. He tells her he’s
felt the same way ever since he first saw her and that she’s the love of his
life. They kiss. Still angry, Macario asks Amalia where Carolina is and Amalia
says that she’s probably with Alex and that they are in love. He tells her to
find Carolina and tell her he wants to talk to her and Amalia asks him why he’s
so interested in Alex and Carolina. He tells her he doesn’t want people to
gossip about Alex and Carolina.
Renato gets a bandage put on the side of
his head and continues to plot and scheme with Gladys, Isabela, Christa. Renato
asks them how Victoria knows that Alex isn’t Gonzalo’s son but none of them can
answer him. He says that there must be someone close to them who has betrayed
him.
Diego asks Victoria, “Are you really all
right?”
“Yes,
thank you. Don’t worry about me.”
“How can
I not worry you? I love you.”
“Okay,
you love me, but I don’t--”
“No,
don’t say anything. You’re not going to tell me lies. It’s best if you tell the
truth. Tell me that there’s something keeping you from expressing your true
feelings.”
She tells
him that he knows it’s true and says that he also knows that she can’t tell him
what it is.
“Why
not?”
“Because
it’s none of your business. Furthermore, when I finish what I have to do on the
Montero ranch, you‘re going to look down on me.”
Rocio takes Don Chema food and asks him
about Victoria and tells him she wants to help her. Don Chema tells Rocio that
Victoria has a secret. He tells her that Victoria is going to cry lagrimas de
sangre (tears of blood) before she’s completed her quest for revenge.
“Forget me, Diego. It’s a waste of time to
worry about a person like me, someone who only has rancor in her heart.”
“That’s not true, Victoria. You have so
much inside of you, so much inside of your heart.”
“I have to go.”
“No, I can’t let you leave before you tell
me who tried to hurt you.”
“Honestly, I don’t know who he is. I can
only tell you that he’s a very dangerous person that I have to be careful with,
but he’s a part of my secret, too.”
“Okay, okay. But please promise me that one
day you’ll tell me what your secret is.”
“Okay, I’ll tell you one day, but it’ll
still be too late for us. That’s why I tell you that you have to forget me now
because I’m never going to be able to give you the attention you deserve, no
matter how much I love you.”
“Thank you, God!” Diego tells Victoria,
“You’ve finally admitted that you love me.” They hug.
Renato thinks that Victoria has the same
motives as they have and that she wants Carolina to marry Alex for his money
just like they want Isabela to marry him for his money. Don G tells Ruben he’ll
wait and see if Gerardo changes his ways and wants to give Alex another chance,
but Ruben tells him that he doesn’t think Alex will change his mind. Don G vows
that Alex will marry Isabela and tells Ruben of his plans to break up Alex and
Carolina.
Alex thinks Don G will kick him off the
ranch, but tells Carolina not to worry because he’ll ask his aunt Florencia and
uncle Martin to help him out. Isabela tells Renato and Gladys that Alex has
returned with Carolina. Amalia tells Carolina that when she told Macario that
she and Alex were in love, Macario became really angry and she wonders if
Macario is so dedicated to Don G that it bothered him that Alex was with
Carolina and not Isabela. She assures Carolina that she’ll talk to Don G and
ask him not to throw her off the ranch.
Alex informs Gonzalo and Lucrecia that he’s
not going to marry Isabela and that he doesn’t care that Don G disinherited
him. He tells Gonzalo that he loves Carolina and assures Lucrecia that Carolina
loves him and not Diego. Lucrecia tells Alex that she loves Diego. Alex pledges
his support to Lucrecia and she pledges hers to him and they hug. Gonzalo gives
Alex his support. Martina tells Alex that Don G wants to talk to him. Gonzalo
finds it amusing that he likes Victoria and his son likes Victoria’s daughter.
Carolina tells Victoria that Don G will
disinherit Alex and that she’s worried. Rocio runs in and says that Don G wants
to talk to Carolina. Alex finds Isabela waiting for him instead of Don G. She
tries to seduce him and kisses him. Carolina walks in on them kissing.

Episode Fifteen
Carolina walks in on Isabela kissing Alex.
As she kisses Alex, Isabela makes eye contact with Carolina. Carolina leaves
without making her presence known to Alex. Alex breaks off the kiss and tells
her that he doesn’t love her and that he loves Carolina. Isabela tries to make
Alex believe that Carolina only wants him for his money.
Martin tells Patricio and Miguel that the
reason why Alex is Don G’s heir because he was worthy, intelligent, honorable,
and hard-working. Miguel tells him he doesn’t care about Don G’s money and that
he only wants the Montero name. Martin tells him that Don G doesn’t want to
recognize him as his son.
Diego tells German that it doesn’t matter
what secrets Victoria is hiding and that he will marry her as soon as Los
Encinos is stable again. He says every day, he’s more and more intrigued by her
and every day, he likes her more and more and that he wants to protect her.
Edelmiro brings Diego an invitation to visit his art gallery and see the new
art exhibition and that Martin is different from the other Monteros. German
wonders if he could use Martin to spy for him and find out what Victoria‘s
secret is. Martin tells Florencia that Miguel isn’t completely sane and she
agrees that Miguel, Patricio and Macario are always trying to destroy Alex.
Martin thinks they’re plotting to kill someone.
Patricio and Miguel continue to plot and
plan and Miguel tells him to be careful around Martin because Martin iss an
honest man who would tell Don G if he found out what they were plotting.
Macario arrives and tells them he wants to kill Alex because Alex has the woman
that Macario wants--Carolina. He tells them he desires Amalia, but that
Carolina is the woman he wants to marry.
Don G and Christa are in bed together and
he tells her she’s going to give him a heart attack one day and she wishes he
would, but doesn’t say it out loud. She tells him that she wants him so much
and he tells her that she doesn’t have to pretend to have feelings for him
because he’s smart enough to know better. He says, “You give me pleasure and I
give you money.” Victoria admits to Rocio that she’s in love with Diego, but
can‘t do anything about it.
Maria asks Edelmiro to go to the Montero
ranch and tell Victoria that she needs to speak with her about something really
important; she reveals that she needs to speak with her because Victoria could
possibly be of help to Diego. Rocio tells Victoria that she’s being a fool
about Diego and wonders what secret Victoria is hiding that’s stopping her from
being with the man she loves.
Lucrecia arrives at Los Encinos with an
invitation to the gallery where Martin will have an art exhibition. He says he
won’t go with her; he tells her he’ll go alone or not at all. She tells him
that if he doesn’t go, she won’t go and that she’ll stay at his side, doing
whatever it is that he wants to do. He asks her when she’s going to leave him
alone and she kisses him. Victoria tells Rocio that she doesn’t have a secret.
Gladys and Renato talk badly about Isabela and decides that Renato has to speak
to Don G as soon as possible about Alex and Isabela’s canceled wedding.
Isabela tells Alex that Carolina is only
interested in him for his money, but he denies it. She tells him that he’ll see
that what she says is true when Carolina finds out that Don G might disinherit
him. Alex informs her that Don G already disinherited him and Carolina knows
and that it wasn’t important to her. Amalia finds Carolina crying and Carolina
tells her that Alex is as cruel as his grandfather and that she walked in on
Alex and Isabela kissing and that he‘d never ended their engagement and that he
was just playing with her (Carolina).
Alex pushes Isabela away when she tries to
kiss him and says, “You’re not going to convince me. I love Carolina.” When
Isabela realizes that he’s really been disinherited, she asks him if he knows
who Don G’s new heir is. She tells him she wants to know so that she can figure
out a way to help him. He turns down her offer of help. She asks if he might be
Patricio and he tells her that it’s not Patricio because he isn’t a Montero,
but doesn‘t doubt that Patricio would be very happy if he was named Don G‘s new
heir.
Patricio and Miguel are happy that Alex has
been disinherited and that he’s with Carolina instead of Isabela. Angry,
Macario tells them that he won’t let Alex and Carolina be together and says
that he hates Alex. He says, “Alex has everything I could never have and I’m
going to take Carolina the same way I’ll take the Montero inheritance because
that woman is only for me.”
Amalia assures Carolina that Alex isn’t womanizer
and he’s not like Don G or Gonzalo as Carolina continues to cry. Alex tells
Isabela that he loves Carolina and suggests she look for love with another man,
then leaves the room. Alone, Isabela decides that perhaps Gerardo is the new
heir and decides to pour all her energy into seducing Gerardo for the Montero
fortune. Ruben tells Gerardo that it’s his opportunity to become Don G’s heir.
Gerardo doesn’t want to be the heir, but his father insists that he’ll be his
grandfather’s heir whether he likes it or not.
Isabela goes to see Gladys and Renato and
tells them that Alex has been disinherited and that it’s not important
anymore--which angers Renato, who throws her on the bed and is about to hit her
when Gladys stops him. Isabela tells him that the reason she said it wasn’t
important was because Don G’s new heir will be Gerardo. She says that since
Gerardo is timid, she doesn’t doubt that she could seduce him really soon.
Renato and Gladys get into a heated argument over Isabela’s announcement and Gladys
threatens to tell Don G what kind of woman Isabela really is.
Gerardo tells his sister Bianca that he
doesn’t know what to do and that he could never be Alex’s substitute. Bianca
tells him to talk to Alex and that maybe he can help Gerardo. He tells her he
doubts it would help and that he doesn’t want to be Don G’s heir. Renato tells
Gladys and Isabela that it wouldn’t be logical for Isabela to seduce Gerardo
because all this time, they’d been trying to convince the world that she loved
Alex and that people would be suspicious if she suddenly tried to be with
Gerardo. They plan to make Carolina disappear and Renato decides he needs to
speak with Victoria and that he will do so carefully because he’s sure that
Victoria has accomplices who might try to kill him again.
Lucrecia tells Diego that she likes
watching him work with his horses and tells him he‘s sexy and that he’s driving
her crazy. She tells him that she gives very good massages and he asks her if
she’s also really good at bribing his employees. “What are you talking about?”
she asks. He tells her that he knows that she offered Maria money to tell her
the identity of the woman he loves. He asks her is she thinking about trying to
hurt the woman he loves in order to get him all to herself. “How did you find
out?”
“Obviously, Maria told me. But it’s in
vain, Lucrecia, because the people who work for me are loyal people and none of
them are going to tell you the name of the woman I love because I’m not going
to let you hurt her, understand?”
Victoria tells Rocio that she’s happy to
see Carolina happy even though it’s going to make life more difficult. Rocio
tells her that Don G is going to try to make Alex do what he wants him to do.
Rocio talks to her about Lucrecia and Victoria says that Lucrecia wasn’t always
bad and Rocio wonders how Victoria would know such a thing.
Lucrecia calls Maria a gossip and Diego
defends her. Lucrecia defend herself and Diego tells her she’s just like her
father and she thinks money can buy anything. She tells him she’s not like her
father. Lucrecia asks him why he’s cares to defend a mere servant and Diego
tells her that Maria’s more than a mere servant and tells her that all of his
employees are a part of his family. She tells him she understands why he feels
that way and tells him it’s because he never had a family of his own. He tells
her it’s better to have not had a family of his own than to have a family like
hers. She agrees with him and he tells her that his own father was very cruel
and never wanted him. Lucrecia tells him that her father has done many things
to hurt her. She tells him that her father did nothing to help her when he
found Roberto beating her. “Roberto could have killed me and my father didn’t
care.”
Gonzalo tells Ruben that he suspects Ruben’s
going to try to substitute Alex with Gerardo now that Alex has been
disinherited. Still in bed with Don G, Christa asks him what he’s going to do
now that Alex has changed his mind and Don G says he’s going to give Alex
another opportunity because he doesn’t have anyone else to leave his fortune
to. He laughs at the fact that Ruben is stupid enough to believe that his son
Gerardo will change and calls Gerardo weak and stupid. He tells Christa,
“Gerardo will never be my heir.”
Ruben wants to know why Gonzalo thinks he’s
grooming Gerardo to be Alex’s substitute and Gonzalo tells him that he
overheard Gerardo tell Bianca that Ruben wanted him to change his ways so that
Don G would consider him as his heir. Ruben doesn’t deny it. Gonzalo tells
Ruben that he doubts Gerardo will be the next heir and tells him that in the
Montero family, you have to be bad in order to survive and that Gerardo is too
good.
Lucrecia tells Diego that she hates her father because he didn’t lift a hand when she was almost beaten to death by Roberto. She says that Don G has managed to destroy the lives of nearly all his children. Gonzalo wishes Ruben luck and they have a drink. Alone with Miguel, Patricio insults Macario, saying that he lacks class. Carolina continues to cry and Macario bursts into Amalia’s house and tells her to leave him alone with Carolina. Amalia objects and tells him not to yell at her. She points out that Carolina is upset and crying. He asks Carolina why she’s upset and she tells him that Alex was just playing with her.

Amalia tries to talk Carolina into talking
to Alex and getting an explanation. Macario storms in and tries to make Amalia
leave the cabin, but Amalia refuses to leave her own home and tells him not to
yell at her. He learns that Carolina found Alex and Isabela kissing and that
he’d only been playing with her. Alex tells Bianca that he won’t allow his
grandfather to ruin his life like he ruined the lives of all his aunts and his
parents. Bianca agrees that he should speak to Don G again, calmly. Bianca
tells Alex that his grandfather’s will hasn’t been changed and she’s sure her
father Ruben has read Don G’s will and should know if Don G about any changes.
Bianca tells Alex that Gerardo wants to
talk to him because Ruben is pressuring him to take Alex’s place and that Gerardo
isn’t interested in business matters. Alex tells Bianca that there’s nothing he
can do for his cousin Gerardo. Bianca tells him that Ruben will kill Gerardo if
he doesn’t do what he tells him. Ruben and Gonzalo wonder if Miguel might try
to hurt Gerardo because of the inheritance. Ruben insists that Miguel’s efforts
are in vain and he won’t inherit because he’s not a Montero. Gonzalo tells him
that Miguel thinks of himself as a Montero and thinks he’s being denied what’s
rightfully his and that he could be very dangerous. Gonzalo tells Ruben to be
careful and that everyone in the Montero family is worthless except for Gerardo
and Bianca. Ruben asks about Alex and Gonzalo says that Alex is a good boy and
that he loves his son, but says that it was a very grave error when Alex
deprived him of his heritage. He tells Ruben that being disinherited is his
problem to deal with and that the only thing that interests him now is winning
a beautiful woman
Victoria tells Rocio that she knows it will
be very difficult fighting Don Gregorio Rocio warns Victoria that Isabela will
try to destroy Carolina. Isabela assures Renato and Gladys that Carolina saw
her kissing Alex. Carolina tells Amalia and Macario that Alex was just playing
with her and when Macario asks her if they had sex, she tells him they didn‘t
and that Alex kissed her. Macario tells Carolina that she should forget about
Alex and offers to walk her to he room. When Amalia leaves, he grabs Carolina
by the arm and asks her why she’s so afraid to be alone with him. He tells her
that he would never play with her.
Victoria tells Rocio she needs to talk to
Gladys and wonders if Alex is strong enough to stand up to his grandfather.
Alex tells Don G that he’s sorry he yelled at him and made him angry, but he still
won’t marry Isabela. Diego tells Lucrecia that he feels sorry for her. He
suggests that she get away from her father and relocate to another town or
another country and be independent of Don Gregorio. Lucrecia says that she
can’t go because, “…my happiness is here, at your side. I love you and I want
you to be my husband. Please, Diego. I need you, don‘t reject me.” She tells
him she’d rather die than be rejected by him.
Don G tells Alex that they have nothing to
talk about and that he should leave. Don G tells Alex he’s just like his father
and insults Carolina. “Don’t insult Carolina, Grandfather.” Macario tells
Carolina that Alex is just like his father and likes all women and likes to
play with them. He tells her she deserves a man that really wants her and who
respects her. He reminds her of his marriage proposal and tells her he’d never
play with her feelings like Alex did.
Victoria and Rocio find Gladys in the
kitchen and Victoria tells Gladys to take her to see Renato because she has
something to talk to him about. Gladys tells Rocio to leave and asks Victoria
who she really is and Victoria says, “It’s not important who I am. What’s
important is that I know your secrets, Miss Gladys. I know that Alex isn‘t
really Gonzalo‘s son and if you want it to stay a secret, take me to see Renato
because I need to talk to him. Tell him to meet some place outside where there
are people around, just in case he tries to kill me again.”
Isabela arrives at Carolina’s cabin.
Carolina tells her to leave, but Isabela refuses and tells Carolina that Alex
told her to come and tell her that he was only playing with her. She lies and
tells Carolina that the reason Alex was playing with her was because he wanted
to win a bet with Christa. The bet: that in less than one week, Alex would
seduce Carolina and sleep with her. Carolina tells her to leave and Isabela
insults her and tells her that she can‘t throw her out of the cabin because the
cabin and everything surrounding it belong to the Monteros and soon she‘ll be a
Montero, too.
Gladys continues to wonder who Victoria is.
Renato wonders if Carolina is really Victoria’s daughter because Victoria seems
too young and tells Christa to tell Martina to be vigilant and see what she can
find out. Carolina tells Isabela that if she’s not leaving, then she (Carolina)
will, but Isabela grabs her arm and stops her, telling her they need to clear
up some things. Isabela wonders if Carolina knows that Alex isn’t a Montero,
but doesn’t say it out loud. Carolina tells her there’s nothing more to talk
about and gets suspicious, asking Isabela, “Why are you so insecure?”
Renato tells Christa that Isabela will have
to seduce Alex differently, not like she did before. He says and that she
should seduce him and not resort to her old tactics that would make Alex think
that she’s a loose woman. Christa accidentally tells him that Isabela got into
a fight with Amalia. Renato is angry and asks who Amalia is and tells Christa
that both she and Isabela will pay for not doing what he ordered them to do.
Isabela tells Carolina that she’s not hiding anything and insists that she’s
not like Carolina and Amalia and that she’s a well-educated lady and leaves,
telling her, “Alex is mine.”
Alex continues to argue with his
grandfather and asks if he’s going to make him leave the ranch. Don G tells him
he’ll wait a few days before making a decision and that they’ll have to talk
again. Alex tells him that no matter how many days go by, he’ll never change
his mind about not marrying Isabela. As Alex leaves, Isabela and Amalia run
into each other. Isabela tells her that when she marries Alex, she’ll throw
Amalia off the ranch. Amalia feigns fear and tells Isabela that Don Gregorio
will never permit it and that he won’t do anything to her. Isabela glares at
her and walks away.
Florencia and Martin worry about Patricio
and what he and Miguel are plotting. Patricio tells Miguel that they can’t get
rid of Don G yet because if they do, Alex will inherit everything because the
will hasn’t been changed yet. Miguel thinks that the only way they’ll get Don G
to name Miguel as his heir is by doing so with a pistol in hand. Don G asks
Macario about Carolina. Macario tells him Carolina’s a good girl and tells him
that Alex played with her feelings. He tells Don G that Carolina found Alex and
Isabela kissing. Don G believes that Alex’s feelings for Carolina are real and
thinks that Isabela was just trying to win him back. Don G tells Macario that
he wants to meet Carolina tomorrow so that he can see for himself what’s driven
Alex crazy.
Carolina cries to Victoria and tells her
what happened. Carolina assures her mother that she and Alex never did anything
other than kiss and begs her mother not to do anything. She begs Victoria to
let her leave the ranch and Victoria insists that the Monteros will pay. Diego
tells Lucrecia that she came into his life too late and that if he’d met her a
long time ago there could possibly have been something between them. “I’m in
love. I can only offer you my friendship.” She tells him she can’t be friends
with someone she’s in love with and he tells her, “Then, it’s best we never see
each other again. Because I‘ll never love you.” He tells her he’s a one-woman
man and that he’s found the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
“Why can’t you love me? Is there something
wrong with me?” she asks him. Diego says, “No, there’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re a beautiful woman. It’s just like I told you, my heart loves another.”
She tells him she can make him forget the other woman and he assures her that
nothing could make him forget the woman he loves. He tells her that they can
only be friends or nothing at all, and that it she doesn’t want his friendship,
she should never set foot on his land again. Lucrecia promises herself that she
will destroy the woman Diego loves when she finds her, but doesn’t say it out
loud.
Victoria comforts her daughter but refuses
when Carolina begs her to leave the ranch with her. Victoria assures her that Alex
will pay for every tear he’s made her cry. Lucrecia accepts Diego’s offer of
friendship “For the moment”. She asks him to go with her to Martin’s exposition
and he accepts as her friend. Gladys tells Victoria that Renato’s waiting and
grabs a knife and tells Gladys that if he tries to do something to her, she’ll
have to defend herself. Christa leaves Victoria and Renato alone while servants
work in the background.
Renato tells Victoria that he knows she
wants the Montero fortune for Carolina and proposes that he help her attain it
and divide the fortune when they get it. He tells her that all she has to do is
make sure Carolina gets Alex and he’ll kill Don Gregorio. She doesn’t accept
his proposal and tells him that she wants Don G alive so that she can watch him
suffer. Victoria assures Renato that the Montero fortune doesn’t interest her
and that she’d never associate with a murderer like him. He tells her he
doesn’t believe her and asks her how she could possibly expect him to believe
that the fortune doesn’t interest her. She tells him that she just wants to see
her daughter happy.
Carolina tells Amalia that when she told
her mother what happened with Alex and Isabela, her mother became furious. She
thinks it’s strange that her mother didn’t seem surprised and agrees when
Amalia wonders of Victoria knew the Monteros before they came there to work.
Carolina thinks that the Monteros must be responsible for the way her mother
is. Don G insists that Alex’s not the type to use women and Macario defends Carolina.
Don G finds his defense of Carolina curious and asks if he likes Carolina.
Renato tells Victoria that he knows she wants the Montero fortune and that
he’ll find out what game she’s playing. Victoria tells Renato that she wanted
to talk to him because she wanted to warn him against trying to get rid of her
and Carolina and threatened to tell everyone that Alex is really his son and
not Gonzalo’s.

Episode Seventeen
Victoria warns Renato not to bother her or
her daughter and that if he does, she’ll tell Don G that Alex isn’t really a
Montero. Amalia tells Carolina that when Carolina saw Isabela and Alex kissing,
it was a trick by Isabela to break her and Alex up. Isabela tells her sister
Christa what happened with Alex and Carolina and that she told Carolina that
Alex bet Christa that he could sleep with Carolina in less than a week. Gonzalo
tells Alex that he admires him for what he’s doing and wishes he’d been strong
enough to stand up to his father a long time ago.
Diego tells his aunt Flora that he’s going
to the exposition and that Martin seems to be different from the rest of the
Monteros and he hopes to find out some things about Victoria. Victoria flashes
her knife at Renato and reminds him that she could kill him. He tells her he
has no plans to kill her right now. Victoria tells him she’s not impressed by
him. He tells her that he’ll win because he’s not accustomed to losing and she
tells him she’ll win this war.
Alex tells Gerardo that he’s sorry about
his situation but that there’s nothing he can do to help him. Gerardo asks if
the situation between him and Don G is definite and Alex assures him that it is
but that Don G will give him a few days before making his decision. Gerardo
hopes for a miracle because he doesn’t want to take Alex’s place as Don G’s
heir. Alex tells Gerardo that he’ll take Carolina to the exposition with him
and that finally his family will have the chance to get to know her. Victoria
thanks Edelmiro for saving her life. Carolina is shocked when she overhears and
asks her who tried top kill her.
Don G assures Renato that Alex will follow
his orders and marry Isabela and they shake hands. Renato turns down his offer
of a room at the ranch and tells Don G that he’ll stay at a friend’s home in
the city and that he’ll take Isabela with him because it’s been so long since
he’s seen her. Don G watches Renato leave and wonders why he’s so suspicious of
Renato. Gonzalo arrives and asks why they’re all going to Martin’s exposition
and Don G tells him that he wants the Montero family to present a united front.
Gonzlao finds his response laughable and tells Don G that Alex will go with
Carolina, “The girl that he loves.”
Patricio delivers a letter to his father as
Martin and Florencia get ready. Don G calls Martin and orders him not to let
Alex and Carolina into his exposition. Martin refuses and Don G tells him if he
doesn’t that he won’t go to Martin’s exposition. Martin continues to refuse and
ends the conversation. Martin tells Florencia what her father wanted him to do.
Victoria tells Carolina a lie and that no one tried to kill her. Edilmiro tells
Victoria that Maria needs to speak with her. Alex arrives and invites Carolina
to Martin’s art gallery and asks her what’s wrong with her.
Victoria accuses Alex of playing with
Carolina’s feelings and tells him he‘s just like his father. Carolina calls him
a hypocrite. Alex says he doesn’t understand, then Carolina slaps him hard.
“Don’t play innocent, Alejandro! I never want to see you again!” Victoria kicks
him out of the cabin. Isabela tells Gladys what she’s done and Gladys says that
although Carolina might be angry at first, she’ll calm down and have the time
to think things through and that if she doesn’t discover what Isabela’s done,
her mother Victoria will because Victoria’s already proven that she’s not an
idiot. Gladys hopes that Renato can somehow get Victoria out of their way while
Victoria comforts Carolina. Flora warns Diego about Lucrecia.
Diego tells German that he’s going to the
exposition with Lucrecia and that he has a lot of pity for her. German tells
him to be careful and not to mistake pity for love. Diego assures him that he
knows his feelings well and that he can’t love anyone but Victoria. German
tells him that Lucrecia is very dangerous.
Flora
thinks it’s the first time Diego and Victoria will go out on a date and Diego
tells her that he’s not going to the exposition with Victoria and she’s shocked
to learn her nephew is going with Lucrecia Montero.
Macario
admits to Don G that he likes Carolina, but he doesn’t want any problems with
Alex. Don G asks Macario to try to seduce Carolina and take her away from Alex.
He tells Macario that he’s serious and plans on offering Carolina money to
leave Alex. Macario agrees to help Don G by seducing Carolina. Lucrecia walks
in and reminds Don G of Martin’s exposition at the art gallery. Macario excuses
himself and Don G yells at Lucrecia for interrupting his conversation. He tells
her to leave and she tells him that she’s going to the exposition with Diego
Ibarra.
Don G thinks Lucrecia is just trying to
provoke him and Lucrecia tells him to believe whatever he wants and that she’s
going to the exposition with Diego. She leaves the room and he calls after her.
Alone, he asks out loud, “What’s going on in my house? Why has everyone gone
crazy?” He continues to think that she’s just provoking a him and says, “Poor
Lucrecia if I see her with Diego Ibarra.”
Lucrecia laughs at her father when she’s
alone with Gonzalo and Gonzalo tells her that soon Macario, Miguel, and
Patricio will soon take care of Don G. Lucrecia agrees with him and says the
three men are doing their dirty work for them and don’t even know it. Miguel asks
Macario what happened with Alex and if he killed him. Macario tells him that
killling him wasn’t necessary and that Alex was just playing with Carolina and
says, “But poor Alex if he ever touches her again. I want Carolina in tact.
Completely virginal for me. For the day that I marry her…… It‘s already
decided. Carolina will be my wife no matter what price has to be paid.”
Lucrecia tells Gonzalo her problems with
Diego and his mystery woman and he expresses his pity for the mystery woman,
saying that when Lucrecia finds out who the woman is, she’ll be in trouble. As
Carolina sleeps, Edilmiro tells Victoria that Carolina is a special woman and
that one day she’ll find a man who will truly love her and not play with her
the way the Monteros did. Gonzalo tells Lucrecia she’ll make her father angry
when she arrives at the art gallery with Diego Ibarra and Lucrecia tells him
she plans on kissing Diego in front of her father and will do so because she
wants to see him suffer.
Amalia continues to suggest to Carolina
that she’s probably been tricked by Isabela, but Carolina doesn’t believe it
and goes home. Amalia decides to investigate and find out what really happened
even if she has to fight with Isabela again.
Martin is shocked that Patricio would want
to see Don G dead. Martin and Patricio argue and when Martin reminds him that
the reason Don G doesn’t treat him the way he treats Alex is because he’s a
true Montero with Montero blood in his veins and Patricio is not. Angry,
Patricio tells his father that he wishes he wasn’t his son and Florencia slaps
him and tells him not to talk to his father like that. Alex tells Macario what
happened when he went to see Carolina and assures Macario that he loves her.
Macario tells Alex that women are fickle and leaves. Amalia asks Macario who he
was talking to and Macario tells her he was talking to Alex who was upset.
Macario then tells Amalia that he discovered that Alex really was just playing
with Carolina.
Victoria tells Carolina that she has to go
and speak with Maria who has something important to tell her. Before she
leaves, Carolina asks if she’s in love with Diego and Victoria tells her that
it isn’t important because she’ll never see him again. She tells Carolina that
she’ll never let a man make her fall in love again. Carolina asks her who she
was in love with before Diego. Flora warns Diego that he shouldn’t take
Lucrecia to the gallery with him, but Lucrecia arrives and Diego leaves with
her. Florencia calms Martin--who can’t believe that his son told him that he
wishes he wasn’t his father--before returning to the living room to talk to
Patricio. Patricio decides it wouldn’t be smart to argue with Florencia because
she’s a Montero and calls her mama and tells her that she’s right and he was
wrong. He offers to apologize to his father. Florencia tells him that she
wishes she had a father like Martin. Alone, Patricio kicks the sofa angrily,
calls Florencia an idiot and swears that one day the Montero ranch will be his.
Miguel tells Don G that he’s ready to leave
for the gallery and Don G laughs at him, telling him that he won’t let Miguel
appear with him in public. Gladys and Gonzalo trade insults and Gladys tells
him not to get drunk at the gallery because his future daughter-in-law Isabela
might be there and the newspapers might write about him in the papers, calling
him a drunk. Gonzalo isn’t concerned and tells her he’ll do whatever he wants
and tells her that he doubts Isabela’s going to be his daughter-in-law.
Martin and Florencia welcome Lucrecia and
Diego to the exposition. Martin and Diego go to talk privately while Florencia
can‘t believe that Lucrecia showed up with Diego. Diego congratulates Martin
and they agree to meet the next day to talk. Diego tells him he doesn’t want to
talk about Lucrecia; he wants to talk about another woman. He tells Martin that
he wants his help in finding out what secrets Victoria’s hiding from him. Alex
orders Isabela to tell him what she did to make Carolina angry with him.

Episode Eighteen
Alex orders Isabela to tell him what she
did to upset Carolina. Alone, Carolina thinks about Alex and cries. Victoria
finds Maria in the Ibarras’ kitchen. Maria tells Victoria that Diego isn’t
home. They have coffee and Maria tells Victoria that she needs her to buy some
jewelry from Diego. She tells her that she was supposed to sell them in Miami
because he needs the money, but thought Victoria might want to buy them. “Can
you help the man you love? Even though you deny it.” Don G tells everyone that
he will go to the exposition with Isabela and that Gladys and Gonzalo have left
already.
Isabela swears to Alex that she didn’t do
anything to Carolina, but he doesn’t believe her. She pretends to cry and Alex
begins to fall for it. She tells him that she’s been in her room because she
didn’t want to see anybody because she was sad. Alex apologizes as Don G tells
Constanza to go find Isabela. Gerardo offers to take Don G to the exposition
and as they are leaving, Ruben threatens to make Gerardo pay if he doesn’t do
what he ordered him to do. Alex continues to apologize to Isabela and comforts
her when she pretends to cry. Constanza finds them and tells Isabela that Don
G’s waiting for her and she leaves with Constanza. Alone, Alex asks himself,
“Did I make a mistake? Should I have married Isabela?”
Martin tells Diego that he’s going to have
problems because Lucrecia is in love with him and Diego’s in love with another
woman. Diego tells Martin that he explained to her that his heart belongs to
another woman and that the only thind he can offer Lucrecia is his friendship.
Martin doesn’t think Lucrecia would give up so easily and warns Diego.
Florencia tells Lucrecia that her bringing Diego to the exposition could ruin
Martin’s night. Lucrecia assures her that their father won’t make a scene
because he doesn’t want to cause a scandal. Martin asks Diego how he can help
him and Diego tells him he can help because he’s known the Monteros for a long
time and Diego is sure that the Monteros have something to do with whatever
secrets Victoria is hiding from him.
Because no one knows she’s rich, Victoria
tells Maria that maybe she’ll buy the jewels without anyone knowing that she’s the
one who bought them. Maria tells her that it’s urgent that Diego sells the
jewels for the sake of the ranch and when Victoria asks if the ranch is in
financial troubles, Maria tells her that she’s not sure what’s happening but
that he must have problems with the ranch if he’s selling the jewelry. Victoria
tells her that she might buy the jewelry but thinks that the jewelry is
masculine jewelry that she can’t use and Maria tells her that the jewelry is
for a woman, not a man. Victoria is surprised and wonders why Diego has a
woman’s jewelry and Maria tells her that the woman was someone very close to
Diego.
Gladys and Gonzalo arrive at the exposition
and Gladys is surprised to see Diego there. She and Gonzalo trade insults and
she goes to speak to Florencia and admonishes her for letting Diego come to the
gallery. Don G arrives with Isabela on his arm and asks what’s going on and why
Diego’s there. Diego greets Don G politely and when Lucrecia reminds him of his
manners, Don G returns his greeting. Diego and Lucrecia leave to view the
paintings. Martin asks if there’s a problem and tells Don G that he invited
Diego. Florencia defends herself against Gladys when Gladys blames her and
Martin for Diego’s presence. Florencia tells her that if she doesn’t like the
fact that Diego’s there, she should leave, but Gladys refuses to leave because
she doesn’t want people to think that there’s something wrong and cause a
scandal for Don G.
Jealous and barely able to contain her
anger, Victoria expresses her feelings regarding the woman who she thinks Diego
gave jewelry to. Maria laughs at her as Victoria admits she loves Diego, “…more
than I would like to love him.” Maria continues to laugh at Victoria and
finally tells her that the woman to whom the jewelry belonged was his mother.
“His mother? Did you say--his mother?” she asks Maria softly. Maria says, “Yes,
his mother.”
At the art gallery, Alex tells Gerardo that
he knows Ruben is pressuring him but that there’s nothing he can do to help
him. Gerardo tells Alex that the only thing he can do now is go back to
gambling and make his grandfather angry, but Alex tells him that’s not a good
idea. Don G tells Isabela that she has to know of some way to change Alex’s
mind. Don G tells her she should be more like her sister and Isabela is
surprised, “Like Christa? How am I supposed to be like Christa? What’s she
like?” Don G is flustered (because he‘s having an affair with Christa and
doesn‘t want Isabela to know about it--even though she already knows) and
stutters as he tries to cover up his slip of the tongue. Renato is in bed with
Christa and tells her that he enjoyed himself and that the only reason he told
her earlier that he was bored with her was because they hadn’t had sex in a
long time. He tells her that he hasn’t forgiven her for failing the mission
he‘d given her: to get Isabela and Alex married. She begs him not to punish her
and he tells her to stop begging and that she’ll receive her punishment
tomorrow. Then, he tells her he wants to sleep alone and kicks Christa out of
the bed and she falls on the floor.
Isabela tells Don G that she doesn’t
understand him when he tells her to imitate her sister. Don G stutters and
tells her he doesn’t know why he mentioned her sister. Isabela tells Don G that
Carolina offers Alex something that she can’t offer him herself and that she
doesn’t have what it takes to steal him away from Carolina. Don G agrees that
she should be a virgin when she marries Alex but tells her that women have
other ways of managing men. Don G tells Isabela that he wants her and Alex
married not because of the love between them, but because of his own dignity
and pride and that he has to show the world that he has everything completely
under control and everyone obeys him.
Alex congratulates his uncle Martin when
Patricio arrives. Alex and Gerardo leave to view the rest of the paintings.
Patricio apologizes to his father and tells him that he’s very proud to be his
son and asks him to forgive him. Martin tells him that now is not the time and
tells him they’ll talk later. “You don’t believe me?” Patricio asks, then
swears his words are true. Martin tells his son that he loves him but that his
ambition worries him. Patricio promises him that he’ll forget everything and
that he knows he’s not a Montero and that he’ll never again try to be one. He
assures his father again that he’s proud to be his son and have his last name.
Florencia tells Martin, “This is the Patricio I met when I married you.”
Mentally, Patricio calls himself a genius because he’s managed to trick them,
but doesn’t say it out loud.
Miguel complains to Macario that Don G
wouldn’t let him got to the exposition with him. Miguel swears that he’ll never
forgive him and tells Macario that he’s finally accepted the fact that Don G
will never give him his last name. “And that’s why I’m going to kill him,” he
tells Macario who tells him that tomorrow they’ll meet up with Patricio and put
their plan into motion. Don G pulls Gerardo aside as Ruben watches and tells
Constanza that she had better hope Gerardo doesn’t mess everything up.
Constanza tells him that she talked to him like he told her to as Don G tells
Gerardo that he’s nothing like Alex. Gerardo tries to speak, but Don G tells
him that he’s going to give him a chance. Gerardo thanks him as Don G watches
Lucrecia kiss Diego. Gladys stops Don G from confronting Lucrecia and Diego.
Diego frees himself from Lucrecia and angrily walks away from her. Don G tells
Lucrecia to stay, but she latches onto Diego’s arm and says, “No, Papa. I‘m
going with Diego.” Diego walks away, ignoring Lucrecia as Gladys stops Don G
from making a scene. Don G stares after them and says, “I swear, Lucrecia is
going to pay.”
Maria tells Victoria that the jewelry was
the only thing Diego’s mother left him and that they have very a sentimental
value for him. She says that it pains Diego to sell them, but there’s nothing
else he can do. Victoria says, “Maybe I won’t have to buy the jewelry if I
loaned him the money.” “You can do that?” Maria asks. Victoria says, “Well,
yes, but what explanation would you give him. He can’t know that I have money.”
Don G rages to Ruben and Constanza about Lucrecia and Diego as Diego arrives
home, Lucrecia with him.
“Ay, Diego, I’m very scared to go home,”
Lucrecia tells him. “You’re afraid of your father, right? I should have known
there would be consequences when I took you to the exposition. You don’t carry
out your promises, Lucrecia.” He tells her she has nothing to say to him and
she begs him to forget what happened. She says, “Think what my father will do
to me I go home.”
He tells her, “You asked for it. Knowing
how much I hate Don Gregorio, you not only went with me to the exposition, but
you kissed me, too! What is wrong with you?”
Lucrecia
tells him that her father might hurt her and asks if she can stay the night at
his house.
Victoria offers to got to town the next day
and change the name on her checks and give it to Diego for the jewelry. She
tells Maria that it’s getting late and she has to go and Maria tells her to go
out the front door because Edelmiro is waiting to walk her back to the Montero
ranch. Lucrecia begs Diego to let her stay the night because she’s afraid her
dad might try to kill her and pretends to cry. He gives in and tells her she
can only stay one night. She hugs him and he hugs her back, saying, “What you
need is to rest. I have a bed that’s going to make you feel a lot better. Ok?
Calm down.” Victoria and Maria walk in and overhear what he tells Lucrecia.
“Good evening,” Victoria says. Diego turns
around and Lucrecia asks, “What are you doing here, Victoria?”
“I’m a
friend of Maria’s, Miss Lucrecia. I come to visit her at night sometimes to
chat,” Victoria answers her.
Lucrecia
asks her not to tell her family that she saw her with Diego and that she’s
going to stay the night there with him. Victoria tells her she won’t tell
anyone if they ask.
Don G arrives home and looks for Lucrecia,
but Ruben tells her she’s not home yet. “The last thing I need! I’m sure she’s
going to sleep in the house of that low-born!” Constanza tells Ruben that it’s
best he doesn’t get involved when he offers to go and get Lucrecia. Ruben slaps
Constanza and Gerardo stops Bianca from interfering with their parents. Ruben
insults Constanza and calls her, Florencia, and Lucrecia whores and tells
Bianca to be careful that she doesn’t give him “una sopresita” (a baby) like
the one her mother and aunts gave. Don G watches and doesn’t do or say a thing.
Ruben asks Don G if he wants him to go to the Ibarra ranch and get Lucrecia. He
tells Ruben it would be a waste of time and tells him to wait until tomorrow.
He says Lucrecia will pay for what she’s done.
Diego reminds Lucrecia that she’s only
there for the night and asks Maria if there’s a room prepared for Lucrecia.
Lucrecia tells him it’s not necessary and offers to spend the night with him.
Barely able to contain herself, Victoria turns to Maria and says, “I have to
go,” as Diego thinks to himself, “ Lucrecia will try to hurt Victoria if she
finds out Victoria’s the woman I love, but on the other hand…………..”
Victoria,
“Thank you for the coffee, Maria.” To Diego and Lucrecia, “Excuse me. Enjoy
your night.” She and Maria leave as Diego sighs loudly and sits down and shakes
his head. Lucrecia assures Diego that Victoria won’t tell her father and Diego
tells her it doesn’t matter and that Don G would just assume that she was at
the Ibarra ranch. She massages his shoulder and says that since her father
knows where she is, they should take advantage of their time together. He tells
her no and reminds her that they’re only friends. Maria returns and he asks her
to take Lucrecia to her room. He goes upstairs. Alone with Maria, Lucrecia
tells her that her boss is hard to get but assures her that Diego Ibarra will
be hers one day.
In his room, Diego asks himself, “Why is
this happening to me? Dammit! Why do things have to always be so complicated?”
He admits to himself that he wants to make Victoria jealous. Victoria comes
home and Carolina asks her what happened. Victoria tells Carolina that she
found Diego just as he was taking Lucrecia to bed as Diego thinks about
Victoria. Diego tells his aunt Flora that she was right and that Victoria saw
him with Lucrecia and got the wrong idea. Diego is upset and his aunt tries to
calm him. “How can I be calm? I lost her! I lost the love of my life! I‘m an
idiot, Aunt! I lost her! I lost her!” His aunt tells him that love always
triumphs. Victoria brushes her tears away and tells Carolina that all men are
worthless. She tells Carolina that she’s not going to cry anymore and that she
doesn’t want Carolina to shed another tear for Alex. “Instead of crying,” she
says, “we have to get revenge.”
Martin tells Gladys and Gonzalo that he
invited Diego to the gallery because he wanted to and that Don Gregorio doesn’t
tell him what to do, not like he tells others what to do. Gladys and Gonzalo
laugh as Patricio arrives, followed by Isabela on Alex’s arm. Isabela
compliments Martin and tells him she can’t make her mind on which of his works
to purchase and calls him uncle. Isabela asks Gladys if she can catch a ride
home with her and Gonzalo and Gladys tells her that Alex will take her back to
the ranch. He tells her that he will take her home, “and I’ll do it happily.”
Isabela says, “Thank you, Alex. Wait for me
a moment?” When he says he’ll wait for her, she walks away and Gladys tells
Alex she wants him to reconsider his decision and tells him that Isabela’s a
great woman. Gonzalo tells him to ignore his mother and not to let his
grandfather ruin his life. Alone together, Patricio tells Isabela, “You’re
precious, simply adorable.” Isabela tells him, “I wish you were a Montero.”
They kiss. He says, “You know how much I desire you.” They kiss some more.
Isabela says, “Me, too, but now’s not the time.” They kiss some more. “We need
to be alone,” Patricio says. More kissing. “Okay, okay,” Isabela says, “I’ll
tell you when and where.” More kissing.
Carolina tells Victoria that she doesn’t
want to get revenge against Alex and Diego and tells her it’s best if they go
far away and find work elsewhere. Victoria tells her that they can’t and that
she came to the Montero ranch with an objective and she refuses to leave before
she’s done what she has to do. Carolina begs her to tell her what it is and
Victoria still refuses to say. Victoria tells Carolina she has to win Alex back
and Carolina tells Victoria what Isabela told her about the bet Alex and
Christa had. Isabela tries to make Aelex think that there’s another man in
Carolina’s life. Macario daydreams about Carolina while he’s kissing Amalia. He
realizes he’s kissing Amalia and pushes her away. Amalia asks him if she’d done
something wrong and if she didn’t act timid enough. He tells her he doesn’t
want her to stay and she asks him again what she’d done wrong, saying, “You’re
the one who told me to put on this disguise.” (She‘s wearing Carolina‘s
clothes) He tells her he’s not in the mood and tells her to go home.
Isabela continues to try to convince Alex
that Carolina is with someone else and broke up with him (Alex) because he’d
been disinherited. Alex refuses to believe what she says and tells her there
was some other reason why Carolina broke up with him. When he yells at her to
stop, Isabela kisses him and asks him a favor. “What?” he asks. She answers,
“One last night with you.”

Episode Nineteen
Alex refuses to believe that Carolina only
wanted him for his money and that she has another man in her life. When he
yells at Isabela to stop, she turns to leave, but stops suddenly and asks him
for one last night with him. Victoria is suspicious of the situation with Alex
and Isabela and tells Carolina that she has to speak with Alex and find out
what’s really going on and tells her that she should question whatever Isabela
told her. Carolina reminds her that she saw Alex and Isabela kissing and
Victoria tells her that she should do the same thing she thinks Alex did to
her--play with his feelings and make fun of him. Renato wakes Christa up and
tells her it’s time for her punishment.
Victoria tells Carolina that it’s her day
off and she has to go to the city, but reminds Carolina that the only way to
get revenge on Alex is to do to him what he did to her. She tells her not to
let Isabela provoke her and to be strong. Carolina tells her she wishes they
could leave and go someplace else to work and wonders if Victoria will take her
own advice and seek revenge against Diego the same way she wants Carolina to
get revenge against Alex and Victoria tells her no.
In bed, Diego dreams about Victoria and
wakes up to find Lucrecia in his room, wearing nothing but a bed sheet. He asks
her why she’s in his room and she says, “Since you didn’t want to take
advantage of last night, we can enjoy the morning.” She tries to unwrap the
sheet she’s wearing and Diego leaps out of bed and wraps the sheet back around
her, calling her crazy. He tells her to go back to her room, get dressed and
leave his home and she refuses. She hops onto his bed and tells him she’s not
leaving until he makes love to her. Amalia cries to Carolina saying that
Macario doesn’t want her anymore and that he’s her everything--her only family,
her friend, everything. She tells Carolina that Macario doesn’t like her
anymore and kicked her out of his bedroom the night before. Amalia asks
Carolina if she thinks Macario could be in love with another woman and Carolina
says she doesn’t think so. Amalia decides to visit Don Chema and have him read
her fortune and find out if Macario has another woman.
On their way to Don Chema’s, Amalia and
Carolina see an angry Diego carrying Lucrecia over his shoulders wrapped in a
bed sheet. Lucrecia yells at him to let her go and put her down, but he carries
her onto Montero land before he puts her down.
Diego yells at her saying, “I don’t love
you, Lucrecia!…..I’ll never want you and I’ll never touch you because I love
another woman! Do you understand? I love another woman!” Carolina and Amalia
continue to watch. Lucrecia, “How dare you do this to me, you imbecile! Throw
me off of your ranch when I’m completely naked!” Diego tells her not to worry
and that he’ll return her clothes to her and says they can’t be friends
anymore. Lucrecia tells him that it will be his fault if her father kills her.
Diego, “I don’t think your father will kill you because I’m completely sure
that you and your father have conspired against me in an effort to take my land
away from me.”
Lucrecia, “That’s not true!….Diego, please!
I love you! My father will kill me! I’m not his spy!” Diego doesn’t understand
why she keeps trying to seduce him like he‘s Antonio Banderas or something and
says, “I don’t care if you’re his spy or not! Understand that I don’t love you!
I love another woman!” Lucrecia cries as Carolina and Amalia hide behind a
tree, watching them. Edelmiro assures Victoria that Maria doesn’t want to talk
to her about Diego and that she wants to talk to her about something else.
Victoria tells him that she doesn’t want to talk about Diego and when Edelmiro
asks why she dislikes Diego so much when he obviously cares for her, she tells
him that Diego doesn’t love anyone and that she doesn’t like womanizers like
him. When Edelmiro attempts to defend his boss, Victoria interrupts him and
tells him that she’s sure Diego had a lot of fun when Lucrecia spent the night
with him.
Lucrecia tells Diego that she loves him and
he tells her he doesn’t feel the same and that she’s not a child. She insists
that she’ll make him love her one day. Diego passionately reiterates that he
loves another woman and that Lucrecia should turn her attention to finding
another man who loves her and storms off, leaving Lucrecia crying. Lucrecia
yells at him as he walks away that when she discovers the name of the woman he
loves, she’s going to hurt her. Carolina realizes Lucrecia’s talking about
Victoria and tells Amalia that she won’t ever let Lucrecia do anything to hurt
her mother. Victoria tells Edelmiro to tell his boss to forget about her as
Macario arrives and tells her that Gladys wants to see her. Victoria reminds
him that it’s her day off and Macario tells her that she knows how Gladys is
and it would be best if she went to see what she wants.
Gonzalo defends Lucrecia as Gladys insults
her. Crying, Lucrecia walks home and trips on the sheet, falling to the ground.
She sees Carolina and Amalia and orders them to help her. They rush forward to
help her up and Lucrecia tells them to be careful not to tell anyone what they
saw. Diego defends his actions as his aunt Flora admonishes him and he tells
her that he’s sure that Lucrecia is her father’s spy because it’s the only way
he can explain why she keeps trying to seduce him. Gerardo assures his
grandfather that he’s only doing what his father wants him to do as Don G tells
him to go to the office in the city and handle some business for him.
Alex thinks about Carolina and then thinks
about what Isabela said about Carolina having another man in her life. Alex
can’t believe that about Carolina, “No, she’s a decent woman.” He wonders what
made Carolina so angry with him when Gerardo walks into his room asking for his
help. Alex asks Gerardo if he thinks Carolina might have another man in her
life and Gerardo tells him that he (Alex) barely knows her. Macario talks to
some of the ranch employees as they all see Lucrecia walk by wearing nothing
but a sheet. He sends the other men away and stops Lucrecia, asking her if
someone hurt her. Lucrecia resents his questions and storms off angrily.
Maria assures Diego that Victoria thinks
the worst of him. Maria tells Diego that she knows nothing happened between him
and Lucrecia but that her friend Victoria must be very angry with him. Isabela
awakes to find Victoria in her room. Victoria tells her that she wants to know
if it’s true that Alex and Christa had a bet that Alex could sleep with
Carolina. Maria tells Diego that she’s meeting Victoria and says that she’ll
kill her if she shows up with Diego. Diego still wants to go with her to see
Victoria, but Maria says it’s best if she goes alone and promises him that
she’ll talk to Victoria about Diego and try to explain what really happened
with Lucrecia.
Isabela tells Victoria that she’s just a
servant and doesn’t have the right to ask her anything and Victoria reminds her
that she knows Renato’s secret. Isabela tells her that Christa and Alex did
indeed have a bet. Victoria tells her thanks for the information and warns her
against trying to hurt Carolina. Victoria goes to speak with Gladys as Don
Chema refuses to read Amalia and Carolina’s fortunes. He tells Carolina that he
already knows her fortune. When Carolina asks, he tells her he hates to give
bad news.
When Gladys asks if Carolina is suffering,
Victoria tells her that she is. Gladys tells her that she and Carolina should
go far away to end that suffering. Victoria tells her that everybody suffers at
some point in their lives and reminds Gladys that she loves Gonzalo but suffers
when he constantly rejects her. Diego tells German what happened with Lucrecia
and that she’ll never set another foot on his land. Victoria meets up with
Maria and reminds her not to talk to her about Diego. Maria promises and is
surprised when Victoria tells her she’s no longer going to buy Diego’s jewelry
and asks where her credit cards and checks are. Maria tells her the cards and
checks are in her bag and Victoria invites her to eat with her in the city.
Maria assures her that she won’t talk about Diego--”Okay. We won’t talk about
Don Diego. We’ll talk about my boss (Diego).” Victoria simply sighs and they
get into a taxi.
Don G arrives at breakfast and tells Ruben
that if Lucrecia doesn’t return by midday, they’ll go to the Ibarra ranch and
get her and bring her home by force. Lucrecia comes home and runs into
Constanza in the hallway. Constanza tells her she’s gone completely insane and
that she should keep her voice down because Don G is furious with her. Victoria
and Maria get a table at a restaurant and Maria brings up Diego. Maria tells
her that nothing happened between Diego and Lucrecia because she prepared
Lucrecia’s room herself and tells Victoria that she should have seen what
happened earlier that morning.
Lucrecia tells Constanza that she’s not
afraid of Don G and that she spent the night at Diego’s but she couldn’t seduce
him. Constanza says she should have remained at Diego’s home because her father
is furious with her. Lucrecia thinks that if her father is really angry with
her, then he might beat her and that would be the solution to her problem with
Diego--(he would realize that she‘s not a spy because Don G beat her for being
involved with Diego). Maria tells Victoria that Diego threw Lucrecia off his
land and Victoria is sure that he had sex with her first. Maria tells her that
Diego loves only her and is about to tell her what happened with Lucrecia when
she sees Diego over Victoria’s shoulder.
Victoria turns around and says, “Diego.” He
says, “Hello, Victoria. I can see you’re talking about me…it’s best if I give
you the information first hand.”
Victoria, “You’re a cynic.” Diego says,
“No, I’m not a cynic. I’m a man who’s in love, head-over-heels in love with you
and I came to show you how I feel.” He kisses her.
“You think you can play with women whenever
you feel like it,” Victoria tells him when the kiss ends.
He says, “Alright. I knew it. (Leaning
forward) Give it to me.”
“Give you what?”
“A slap for stealing a kiss from you,” he
answers.
She doesn’t slap him, but asks Maria why
she told him where they were going. Diego tells her that Maria didn’t tell him
anything and that he came to see her so they could talk. Victoria tells him
they have nothing to talk about and that what she saw and heard last night was
sufficient for her.
“Nothing happened last night, Victoria. I
came to convince you that I love you and that I didn’t do anything with
Lucrecia.”
Victoria accuses Maria of betraying her but
Diego and Maria insists that it’s not true and that she never told Diego where
they were going. Victoria asks him sarcastically if he guessed where they were
going to be or if he saw it in his crystal ball.
“Neither,” Diego says. “Edelmiro saw you
here and called me to tell me.” He turns their attention to Edelmiro who’s
sitting at another table, waving his cell phone at them. Victoria asks him if
he always resorts to dirty tricks to get what he wants and he tells her “only
when there’s a beautiful, very stubborn woman who won’t listen to what really
happened last night.”
Constanza tells Lucrecia she’s crazy as
Diego says, “Maria, why don’t you go over and eat with Edelmiro? Look at him
over there, all alone.”
Maria tells him that she hadn’t planned on
eating and that she only came so that she could talk with Victoria. Diego says
she should take advantage of the situation because at Los Encinos because she’s
always attending to other people and that now she has the chance to be served
to by someone else. Maria say yes but warns him against upsetting Victoria.
Victoria stops her from leaving and tells Diego that she has nothing to talk to
him about. Diego tells her to let Maria go and Victoria says, “No.”
Diego, “Yes.”
Victoria, “No.”
Diego, “Yes.”
Victoria, “No.”
Diego, “No.”
Victoria, “Yes!”
Having tricked Victoria into saying yes,
Diego sends Maria to eat with Edelmiro at another table and takes Maria’s place
across from Victoria.
Victoria says, “Okay, you win. But you only
have five seconds to explain why Lucrecia was in your house last night.”
‘Only five seconds?”
“Yes, it’s enough time to tell me whether
or not she was in your bed. And I want the truth. Don’t give me a lie, Diego.”
“Okay, if that’s the way you want to do
things--yes. Lucrecia was in my bed.”
Lucrecia opens her robe and tells Constanza
to tell Don G that she just came from Diego’s ranch completely naked. Lucrecia
tells Constanza to tell Don G that she’s in her room and also tells Constanza
that she’s going to prepare herself for her beating and threatens to tell Ruben
their secret (about the baby they had a long time ago). Constanza forgives
Lucrecia for threatening her because, “I know that you’re crazy.”
“Yes,”
Lucrecia says, “Crazy, crazy, crazy in love with Diego.”
Victoria tells Diego she’s leaving, but he
grabs her. She makes him let her go. Diego manages to tell her how he found
Lucrecia in his bedroom and how he took her home wearing nothing but a blanket
and that the blanket was given to her out of respect for his Aunt Flora.
Flora tells German that she needs him to
get Carolina to come and visit her because she needs to talk to her. German
tells her that it’s a dangerous thing for him to do because the whole world
knows that he’s the foreman of Diego’s ranch and Flora tells him that she needs
to tell Carolina the truth--that Diego didn’t cheat on Victoria with Lucrecia.
Don Chema reads Amalia’s cards and tells
her that they say she knows a terrible secret, “…a secret that could destroy a
very powerful man.” Amalia tells him she doesn’t want to talk about that and
that she needs to know about Macario. Don Chema tells Carolina that she should
be careful with the powerful man whose secret Amalia knows and tells her that
her mother (Victoria )knows who the man is.
Victoria doesn’t believe Diego’s story.
Diego tells her to ask Carolina because she saw him take Lucrecia back to the
Montero ranch. Victoria is surprised and Diego tells her that Carolina and her
friend both saw what happened and know that what he says is the truth. Don
Chema tells Amalia that Macario wants another woman and assures her that the
other woman doesn’t want Macario and that the other woman wants another man. Alex
tells Gerardo he has to go and clear things up with Carolina and convince her
that he wants her. Gerardo wants him to forget about his problems with Carolina
and help him. Alex tells him there’s nothing he can do for him as Gerardo tells
him that he’s afraid because Don G wants him to go to the office and do some
work for him. Alex tells Gerardo to calm down and that office work is something
he can help him with.
Don Chema tells Amalia that even though
Macario wants the other woman, he still wants her, too. Amalia is not pleased
and says that she’s not going to share Macario with anyone and asks Carolina
for her help. Carolina nods, saying she’ll help her. Don Chema tells Amalia
that Carolina will always be her friend, but that Amalia won’t always be Carolina’s
friend. Don G angers Miguel by telling him that he wouldn’t let him go to
Martin’s exposition because it was an event for people of higher social status
than Miguel. Miguel yells at him and can’t believe he would treat him that way
and Don G tells him he needs to understand his place in the world. Miguel
swears to him that things won’t stay the way they are and leaves. Don G calls
him a “poor idiot”.
“Please, Victoria. Believe me. Lucrecia
means nothing to me as a woman. She’s simply a person who has suffered a lot
and I feel really sorry for her.” He holds her hand. “Marry me, Victoria.” He
tells her he’ll love her eternally. He tells her not to tell him that she
doesn’t want him because he knows she was jealous of Lucrecia.
“Okay,” Victoria says. “If you want to hear
it, I’ll say it. I love you (te amo con todo mi alma), Diego Ibarra…but I can’t
marry you.”

Victoria admits to Diego that she’s in love
with him, but tells him that she can’t marry him. Florencia tells Martin how
worried she is about Lucrecia and Martin tells her there’s nothing they can do.
Martin tells Florencia that he’s sure that Patricio has changed as Patricio
proves otherwise, telling Macario that they have to be careful with his father,
Martin. He tells Macario that Martin actually believed him when he lied and
said he’d changed and no longer wanted to be a Montero. Florencia leaves home
and goes to the ranch to see about Lucrecia.
At the Montero ranch, Constanza arrives at
breakfast and informs everyone that Lucrecia came home completely naked. Don G
is very angry and Gonzalo tells him not to do anything to her while Lucrecia
remembers the day she was supposed to get married and her fiancé Roberto beat
her in front of her father and her father did nothing. She waits for her father
to come and beat her. Gonzalo tells Don G that he won’t allow him to hurt
Lucrecia and Don G hits him.
Victoria tells Diego that she can’t marry
him and that when he finds out who she really is, he won’t want anything to do
with her. Don G calls Gonzalo a coward because he won’t hit him back and leaves
in search of Lucrecia. Diego tells Victoria that he hopes he finds out her secrets
soon because being apart from her is killing him. Victoria tells him that she
doesn’t want him to waste his time with her and that he needs a wife and
suggests that he marry Lucrecia. Don G confronts Lucrecia and Lucrecia tells
him that she loves Diego and that she spent a “delicious night” with Diego. She
tells him they spent the night, “caressing each other and making love without
ever stopping for sleep.” Don G yells at her and insults her as he beats her,
telling her she doesn‘t deserve to be called a Montero. Outside, Gonzalo is
upset and lacks the courage to stop his father from hurting his sister.
Florencia arrives and she and Gonzalo hear Lucrecia’s screams through her
bedroom door.
Florencia goes in to stop Don G from
beating her sister and Don G tells Florencia that Lucrecia is a whore and that
she’s not a real Montero. Lucrecia laughs hysterically through her tears,
thanking her father for giving her a beating because now Diego Ibarra will
believe that she’s not Don G’s spy. She continues to laugh hysterically, blood
flowing from her face. Don G continues to beat Lucrecia and Florencia threatens
to call the police if he doesn’t stop. Don G stops and tells Lucrecia that if
she’s pregnant by Diego, he’ll kill her and the baby. When Don G leaves, Lucrecia
tells Gonzalo and Florencia that the beating was just what she needed. Outside
the room, Alex and Gerardo ask Don G what happened and they run in to see about
their aunt Lucrecia. Alex and Gerardo are outraged when they see Lucrecia and
they leave to look for supplies to help tend to Lucreia’s wounds.
Victoria tells Diego that he should marry
Lucrecia, but Diego tells Victoria that he could never love Lucrecia and will
never marry her and that he only wants her (Victoria). He assures Victoria that
Maria is a very loyal friend of hers and would never betray her and leaves with
Edelmiro. German tells Flora that he will go and find Carolina and tell her to
come to see Flora so that they can talk.
Constanza worries about Lucrecia and Ruben
insults Lucrecia and tells Bianca and Constanza that Don G is giving Lucrecia
what she deserves and warns Bianca not to be a whore like her aunt. Don
Gregorio tells Macario, Miguel, and Patricio that he’s going to the Ibarra
ranch to make sure that Diego never comes near his daughter again as Lucrecia
tells Gonzalo and Florencia that she wants Diego to see her bruises and feel so
much sympathy for her that he forgets about the other woman.
Victoria admits to Maria that she loves
Diego more than she thought she did but still doesn’t want to be in love right
now. She says she has to finish what she came to do at the Montero ranch and
says that if she has the time afterwards, she’ll devote it to her feelings.
Maria begs her to forget her vengeance and try to be happy with Diego and tells
her that if she does, she and Carolina will both be happy. Victoria tells Maria
that she was wrong when she thought Alex was different from his father Gonzalo
and says that Alex hurt Carolina.
Don Gregorio, Macario, Patricio, and Miguel
arrive at the Ibarra ranch and Flora asks who they are and what they want. Don
G tells her he wants to talk to Diego and tells her he’ll wait for Diego’s
return. Flora tells him that Diego won’t want to talk to them and that their
ranch isn’t for sell. Don G tells her that he’s not there to talk about buying
the ranch. They walk past her into the house and refuse to leave until they see
Diego.
Carolina tries to convince Amalia that
Macario isn’t a good person and that she shouldn’t care about him anymore, but
Amalia still wants to find out who the other woman is and assures Carolina that
she won’t share Macario with anyone. German goes to the Montero ranch and finds
Amalia and Carolina. He stares at Amalia and introduces himself. Amalia yells
for Macario, but Carolina stops her, telling her that German is her friend.
German continues to be stunned at the sight of Amalia and tells her how lovely
she is. Amalia pretends to be unimpressed with him and German tells Carolina
that Flora wants to speak with her. Carolina is sure she wants to talk to her
about Victoria and tells German that she’ll go to see Flora later on.
Victoria tells Maria that she believes that
nothing happened between Diego and Lucrecia, but asks her if she has the right
to come between them when she has no plans to be with Diego herself. Diego and
Edelmiro arrive home and find Don G, Patricio, Macario, and Miguel there. Don G
tells him that he came to find out what happened with him and Lucrecia. Diego
tells him that there’s nothing for him to find out and Don G tells him that
Lucrecia told him different. Diego tells him that there’s nothing between him
and Lucrecia and there never will be and Don G tells him that Lucrecia told him
that she spent the night at Los Encinos with him. Diego calls Lucrecia a liar
and says that she spent the night there, but nothing happened between them.
In Lucrecia’s room, Gerardo says that every
day he becomes more and more afraid of Don G. Florencia calls her father a
savage and doesn’t understand why Lucrecia insists on provoking him when she
knows what he’s capable of. Alex finally realizes how cruel his grandfather is
and Gonzalo tells him he hopes he won’t let Don G ruin his life. Alex says that
all the respect he once had for Don G has been killed. Lucrecia is still asleep
on the bed.
Diego tells them that he’d never touch a
crazy like Lucrecia. Patricio takes exception to him insulting his aunt and
tells him to have respect when he speaks of her. Diego tells him that if they
want respect, they should teach her how to respect herself. Don G asks Diego
why he’s trying to take his daughter and Diego answers with a question of his
own--Why are you trying to use your daughter as a spy against me?
German assures Amalia that he’s not Diego Ibarra’s
spy. Before he leaves, he turns back to stare at Amalia again. Amalia stares
back at him and Carolina watches them both. Don G tells Diego that he doesn’t
need to use his daughters to spy on him and asks why he thinks that. Diego
tells him he doesn’t care and orders them to leave and never set foot on his
ranch again. Don G agrees to leave, but warns Diego never to come near Lucrecia
again. Diego tells him to make sure Lucrecia never comes near him again. Don G
and his posse leave.
Victoria pays for their meal and she and
Maria go to the bank to get the money to buy Diego’s jewelry. Victoria tells
her that she’s buying the jewelry because she knows how much Diego loves her
and she’ll never be able to return that love. Patricio suggests to Don G that
they find some way to make the police believe that Diego killed someone. Don G
agrees and says they’ll get rid of Diego, but he refuses to have Diego killed.
Macario and Miguel try to convince him otherwise but Don G compliments
Patricio’s thinking and decides that they should find a way to make Diego kill
someone or make the police believe that he killed someone.
Lucrecia runs to Diego’s ranch, beaten and
bruised, and begs him to help her and tells him that her father wants to be her
to death. Lucrecia pretends to faint and Diego calls for help. Diego is frantic
and Lucrecia finally ends her fainting spell and begs Diego to save her from
her father. Diego tries to console her. Lucrecia begs him not to send her back
to her father’s ranch and tells him that if he does, Don G will kill her. She
swears to him that she’s not one of his spies and tells him that he’s the only
person that can defend her. Diego swears to her that he’ll help her as German
and Flora arrive with a first aid kit and they treat Lucrecia’s bruises.
Lucrecia continues to cry and tells them that Florencia tried to help her and
hopes their father won’t do anything to Florencia for helping her.
Florencia tells Gonzalo, Alex, and Gerardo
that Don G has to be stopped. Gonzalo wishes that he wasn’t such a coward and
tells Florencia that he’s just as guilty as their father is because he never
stood up to Don G and defended them when Don G beat them. Alex tells him that
he’s nothing like Don G and points out that Gonzalo married Gladys and never hit
her even though they always argued and never got along. Alex tells them that
he’s not afraid of Don G and says that he’s leaving the ranch. Gonzalo objects
and Alex tells him that he can’t live under the same roof with a man who is
nothing more than a beast who is capable of hurting his own daughter; Alex
says, “It‘s unacceptable.”
Renato arrives at the Montero ranch with
Christa and Isabela tells him that she hasn’t won Alex back, but that she’s
made several advances in her plan to get him back. Gladys tells Renato that Don
G isn’t in a good mood because of Lucrecia and Diego Ibarra. Renato decides to
go and talk to Diego because he suspects that the people at Los Encinos might
be accomplices of Victoria. Victoria and Maria go shopping.
Alone, Alex asks his aunt Florencia to talk to Carolina for him and find out why Carolina never wants to see him again and she agrees to do it for him. Gonzalo asks Rocio where Victoria is and she tells him that it’s her day off and that she’d left. Victoria and Maria take a taxi and part ways. Before they split up, Victoria tells Maria to be very careful with the bag she’s carrying because there’s a lot of money in it and tells Maria that the jewelry will one day belong to Diego’s wife and that his wife will be Lucrecia Montero. Victoria comes back to the Montero ranch and runs into a drunken Gonzalo who tries to seduce her, telling her that they are far away from the house and that he doubts Gladys will interrupt them this time.

Episode Twenty-one
Gonzalo continues his assault/seduction of
Victoria as she tries to think up a way to get rid of him. Amalia asks Carolina
about German and blushes when Carolina tells her not to deny that she liked
him. Carolina tells her that she thinks German liked her to, but Amalia tells
her that she only likes Macario. Don G tells Macario and Miguel that they can
leave and that he wants to discuss what to do with Diego Ibarra with Patricio.
Shocked, Macario and Miguel leave but Miguel overhears Don G tell Patricio,
“It’s too bad that you’re not a Montero, Patricio. If you had the Montero blood
in your veins, you could be Alex’s substitute.”
Alex tells his aunt Florencia that Isabela
told him that the reason Carolina dumped him is because she has another
boyfriend but that he doesn’t believe her. Florencia tells him she’ll talk to
Carolina for him. Renato continues to plot and scheme with Gladys, Christa, and
Isabela as Don G tells Patricio that the person who really killed Diego’s
brother was Gonzalo. Flora and German watch over Lucrecia who’s sleeping on the
couch. Flora tells German that she doesn’t want Lucrecia to stay there for too
long and they both worry about Diego. Diego goes to the police department and
reports Lucrecia’s assault but the police tell him they can’t do anything.
Flora watches over Lucrecia as she dreams about kissing Diego. In her sleep,
she says, “I love you, Diego. Make me yours.” and Flora overhears and predicts
that Lucrecia‘s going to cause a lot of problems. Diego tells the police that
he didn‘t witness the attack and they say they can‘t do anything. The officer
asks if the assaulted woman is his girlfriend and Diego says that no and that
if it was his girlfriend who‘d been attacked, Don Gregorio would be in the
hospital.
Victoria gives Gonzalo a massage as she
tries to think of a way to get rid of him without him becoming suspicious when
Macario and Miguel arrive. Victoria begs Gonzalo not to tarnish her reputation
for Carolina’s sake and runs off. Carolina tells Amalia that German seemed to
really like her and that he’d been smiling at her like a fool. Florencia
arrives and meets Carolina and asks to speak with her alone and thinks to
herself, “How lovely she is. She reminds me of my mother.” Victoria makes it
back to her cabin and thinks about the day Gonzalo raped her. Miguel threatens
to tell Gladys about Gonzalo and Victoria and Macario tries to talk him out of
it and keeps the two of them from fighting.
Don G decides to kill Carolina and blame
Diego for her murder. He tells Patricio that they’ll make it look like Carolina
left him for Alex who’s younger, richer and he became angry and killed her.
Thus, Don G’s two problems will be solved: Alex will be free to marry Isabela
if Carolina is dead and Diego can be blamed for her murder. Gerardo finds Alex
and tells him that Lucrecia is gone. Worried about her, they decide to go and
find her. Carolina tells Florencia that she has nothing to speak to Alex about
and Amalia tells Florencia that Alex had a bet with Christa to see how long it
would take to get Carolina into bed. Florencia is shocked. Renato decides to
offer Don G his help with regards to Diego Ibarra as Don G tells Patricio that
they should wait a few weeks before they kill Carolina. Patricio gets Don G top
promise not to tell Macario their plans by reminding him that Macario likes Carolina
and would object to their plans.
Florencia tells Carolina that she knows her
nephew and that she doesn’t believe he had a bet with Christa and tells her to
talk to Alex and explain things to him. Carolina tells Florencia that she wants
to leave the ranch but her mother doesn’t want to leave her job. She tells
Carolina that Alex doesn’t know anything about a bet and reminds her that he
broke up with Isabela and told the whole world that he was in love with her
(Carolina). Carolina tells her it was a lie and that she saw him kissing
Isabela. Florencia suggests it was a trick by Isabela and Amalia comments that
she thinks Florencia is right and that Alex isn’t like his father.
Gonzalo tells Macario to make sure that
Miguel doesn’t tell on him. Upset, Carolina tells Florencia and Amalia that she
doesn’t want to see Alex ever again and that she won’t confront Christa and
Isabela. Alex arrives and Florencia stops Carolina from running away. Florencia
begs her to talk to Alex and calls her enchanting, thinking to herself again,
“How she reminds me of my mother!” Gerardo tells Florencia that Lucrecia is
missing and Florencia is sure that she’s with Diego. Lucrecia is shocked to
learn that Diego went to the police and she refuses to go to the police herself
because she’s sure her father will kill her. She’s adamant that she can’t do
it, but quickly changes her mind, saying that if she goes to the police he has
to promise to let her stay at the ranch with him.
Renato offers to buy Diego’s ranch as a way
to get rid of him for Don G, positive that since Diego doesn’t know him , he
can trick him into selling it to him, then Don G could get his hands on it. Don
G asks Renato how he found out about his problem. Diego refuses to let Lucrecia
stay with him another day and tells her that he tried to help her, but that she
keeps looking for trouble and asks her why she kissed him in front of her
father. She tells him that she loves him and he gives in, telling her not to
interfere in his private life and that he has to go. When he leaves, she says
that now that she’s gained entrance into his house, she’s not leaving it until
he makes her his wife.
Renato tells Don G that his friend saw what
happened at the art exposition and Don G tells him that if he can find a way to
buy Diego’s ranch, he’ll be very grateful. Florencia leaves with Gerardo and
Amalia. When Carolina tries to stop Amalia, Florencia intervenes and tells Alex
that Carolina has something to talk to him about and leaves with Amalia. Alone
together, Alex says, “Okay, my love. What do you have to tell me?”
Amalia
tells Macario that it hurts her that he doesn’t want her anymore and that he’s
the only person she can count on as Diego and German watch from a distance.
Macario tells Amalia that he does want her and she turns form him. When she
turns around, she sees Diego and German.
Carolina tells Alex not to deny that he bet
Isabela’s sister that he could get her to sleep with him. Alex is shocked and
says, “How could you think that of me? I didn’t make any bet, I could never be
capable of doing something like that.” She tells him that someone told her he’d
bet on her and he says that if she could think him possible of something so
low, then it’s best that we don’t see each other again. Macario asks Amalia
what she’s looking at and she grabs him and turns him around so he won’t see
German and Diego. Amalia tells him that she forgives him and offers to make up
for lost time and kisses him, waving behind his back for German and Diego to go
away. Diego has to almost drag German away and Amalia tells Macario to take her
home and thinks to herself, “German is an idiot.”
Victoria thinks about Maria’s advice and
says, “How I would love to be your wife, Diego. But I can’t forget my revenge.”
A few moments later, Diego arrives and tells her he needs to talk to her and
she tells him that there’s nothing to talk about and that she is nothing to
him. He tells her that she isn’t nothing to him and that she’s the woman he
loves and that she’s going to be his wife. ‘Diego, please, I said no.” He tells
her, “You love me the same as I love you. You can’t deny it.” She says, “But I
told you that it‘s impossible….” He says, “Hush. Don’t say anything, just feel.
Just feel.” He kisses her and they lay down on the bed. Diego takes his shirt off
and Gladys walks in on them kissing under the covers. Victoria hides Diego‘s
face and Gladys wants to know who she‘s with. German is outside and thinks
about Amalia when he overhears Gladys demanding to know who Victoria’s with.
Victoria tells her it’s none of her business and that she can do whatever she
wants to do. When Diego tries to get up, Victoria pushes him back down and
Gladys orders him off of the ranch. Victoria tells Gladys that if she speaks
any louder, the whole ranch will know what’s happening and Gladys is
unconcerned. Victoria pushes Diego back down when he tries to get up and Gladys
tells her it is her business because the Montero family is a decent family and
that they won’t permit a servant have sex with someone on their ranch when they’re
not married. “You, Senora Gladys, talking about decency?” Victoria says and
laughs.
Alex tells Carolina, “If there’s one thing
I inherited from my mother, it’s decency. My mother is a decent woman who
taught me principles. I would never be capable of making a bet like that about
a woman, much less the woman I love.” Carolina says, “Forgive me, Alex, I
didn’t mean to insult you, but that’s what Isabela told me. That and the kiss I
saw between you in Don G‘s living room made me believe that you were only
playing with me. Don‘t you think those two things are sufficient enough for me
to doubt your love? Despite how much I want you.”
“I was
afraid of this. I suspected that it was a trap,” he says. Carolina tells Alex
that she was told Don G wanted to talk to her and that’s when she’d walked in
on Isabela kissing Alex. Alex says, “Yes, of course, it was a trap, because I
was told my grandfather wanted to talk to me but when I got there, it was
Isabela…” “Why did you kiss her?” Carolina asks.
He tells
her that Isabela kissed him and, “Carolina, you’re the one I love.” Carolina
tells him that she was jealous because she loves him and thought he was just
playing with her. “Forgive me,” he says and they kiss.
Amalia and Macario kiss and she tells him
that he’s all she has and that she adores him. He tells her he wants her and
she asks if he loves her too. He tells her he loves her and tells her he’s not
as imaginative as she is when she asks him to put on a disguise that night. He
tells her that she should put on a costume and surprise him. Diego tells Gladys
that he knows her secret and that she’s not going to say anything to anyone.
Gladys says that Renato was right and that Victoria isn’t working alone. Diego
tells her that he’s Victoria’s accomplice.
Isabela tells Christa that if anyone asks
her, she is to say that she had a bet with Alex about Carolina. Christa wonders
what to do if Alex asks her about the bet and Isabela tells her that Carolina
will never want to talk to Alex again and that he won’t find out about the lie
she told Carolina. Victoria tells Gladys that she can’t talk about decency when
she’s guilty of sleeping with men who aren’t her husband. Gladys tells her to
be quiet and Victoria tells her to leave. Gladys insults Diego and Diego gets
out of the bed and Gladys is shocked to see him.
Miguel is angry with Patricio because Don G
kicked him and Macario out and only wanted to talk to Patricio about his plans.
He accuses Patricio of doing the same thing Alex did--gaining all of Don G’
attention and favor. Patricio assures him that he’s on his side and that
everything Don G had would be his (Miguel‘s) one day. Macario kisses Amalia and
tells her that she’ll always be his woman and goes back to work. Once he’s
gone, Amalia remembers Don Chema’s words about the other woman in Macario’s
life.
Diego tells Gladys that Victoria’s not
alone and that if anyone tries to hurt her, they’ll have to deal with him.
Victoria warns Gladys that she can’t tell anyone that Diego was there with her because
they know her secret and Gladys says that she’d come to see her because she’d
wanted to offer her money to get Carolina to leave Alex alone. German sees
Gladys leave and goes to get Diego. Before he leaves, Diego tells Victoria that
he doesn’t really know what Gladys’ secret is and only guessed that she was
hiding something. He asks her if Renato is the one who tried to kill her and
she admits it.

Diego tells Victoria that he doesn’t know
Gladys’s secret and merely guessed that she was hiding something and asks her
if Renato is the man who tried to kill her. Renato and Don G invite Christa and
Isabela to eat with them. Isabela decides to stay there and convince Alex of
how much she loves him. Don G suggests she go and eat with them because
afterwards they’ll go to his office and perhaps they’ll find Alex there. Renato
tells Isabela that if she reconciles with Alex, he wants her to spend the night
at the ranch so she can be near Alex, but that if they don’t reconcile, she
should go with him (Renato).
Alex and Carolina decide to confront
Isabela and Christa together. Carolina is happy that Florencia seems to like
her and Alex tells her that she can trust his aunt Florencia just as she can
trust his cousins. Flora tells Florencia and Gonzalo that she doesn’t want to
let them in to see Lucrecia because she doesn’t know what Diego will say about
them being in his house. Lucrecia arrives and tells her to let them in and
Flora tells Lucrecia to be careful and remember that she’s not at home and that
she’s noticed that she (Lucreica) thinks she’s at home. Lucrecia reminds Flora
that Diego made the decision to let her stay there.
Victoria tells Diego that it’s best if he
leaves and he tells her that he’s not going anywhere until she tells him what’s
wrong with her. She tells him not to worry about her and that he should worry
about himself because if someone else finds him there, he’ll be killed. Diego
tells her that he’s not worried because German is looking out for him. Outside,
Amalia looks for Carol and German hears her and accidentally runs into her. She
falls to the ground and he falls on top of her. She tells him that it’s
dangerous to be there and he tells her that her smile is worth the danger. She
smiles at him.
Victoria tells Diego that if he loves her,
he’ll stop asking her so many questions. He stops asking her about her secrets
and tells her that if she has any more problems that she should call him. She
says yes but that in return he has to promise not to come back to the Montero
ranch to see her because she doesn’t want anything to happen to him. He says he
can’t and kisses her. She stops him and asks why he came to see her. He tells
her what happened to Lucrecian and she asks why Lucrecia has to live with him.
She asks since when he’s been so dedicated to protecting every woman he meets
who has a problem.
Florencia tries to talk her sister into
coming to stay with her and Martin, but Lucrecia refuses, while Gonzalo reminds
Lucrecia that there are rumors that Diego is a murderer and might do something
to her. Lucreica tells them that Diego’s a perfect gentleman and that she’s the
one who might do something to him and informs them that she’s going to make him
her husband. Her brother and sister think she’s crazy.
Diego tells Victoria that Lucrecia’s going
to go to the police and tell them what her father did and tells her that she’s
afraid her father will kill her and she tells him that it’s probably for the
best because he’s the only person who would ever try to protect Lucrecia
Montero. She tells him that he doesn’t have to ask her for permission to let
Lucrecia live with him because she’s nothing to him and he should forget about
her. He tells her that he doesn’t want to make her angry. She says that if she
gets angry, then it’s her problem because it’s none of her business. He tells
her again that she’s the woman he loves and she says, “Okay, if you want to
help her, do it. I don’t think anyone else would try to help her.” She
expresses her desire to see Don G’s face when he learns that Lucrecia’s going
to the police to inform on him and Diego is surprised to learn that her hatred
of Don G goes so deep and asks her if it has something to do with the secret
she’s keeping from him. She tells him not to ask her any more questions.
Gladys learns from Florencia and Gonzalo
that Lucrecia’s staying with Diego Ibarra. Diego takes Lucrecia to the police
department where she tells them what Gregorio Montero did to her. Don G shows
Renato, Isabela, and Christa around his offices and they’re in awe of all that
Don G’s accomplished and Don G tells them that if Isabela doesn’t marry Alex,
it will affect his businesses because he won’t have anyone to leave his company
to. Renato asks about his other grandchildren and Don G tells him that Gerardo
is useless and wishes Patricio was really a Montero, but refuses to leave his
businesses to someone who doesn’t have the Montero blood in his veins.
Patricio tells Miguel that he has to learn
how to control his emotions if he wants to get the Montero fortune. Miguel is
frustrated and Macario walks in and accuses Patricio of trying to betray him
with Don G. Patricio tells them that they’re being idiots and tells them that
he’s not trying to stab them in the back. Renato and Isabela and Christa
express their admiration for Don G’s business success when they learn how well
the company is doing as Renato becomes even more anxious to get the Montero
fortune. Patricio tells Macario and Miguel that Don G wants to kill Carolina
and blame Diego for her murder.
Carolina tells Amalia that it was just as
Amalia suggested to her: the kiss and the lie about the bet were just a trap
set up by Isabela to take Alex away from her. She assures Amalia that she’s now
certain of Alex’s love for her and that she knows Isabela & Co. are going
to try to make her life very difficult. She vows never to doubt Alex again.
Alex thanks his aunt for talking to Carolina and tells her and Gonzalo that
they’re back together and that he’s going to confront Isabela and Christa.
Gonzalo tells him to be careful with those two because they’re not going to
stop trying to break him up with Carolina. Alex thanks his aunt again Florencia
tells Alex that she didn’t just do it for him. She tells Alex that she doesn’t
just like Carolina because she’s going to be his wife someday, but also because
from the moment she met her, she felt that Carolina was already a part of the
family. Florenicia tells him again that he can always count on her and Gonzalo
tells Alex that Lucrecia has decided to stay at Diego’s and Florencia tells
them that Lucrecia’s in love with him.
Lucrecia signs papers for the police and
Diego tells them that he hopes justice is done because even though Don G is
powerful, he doesn’t have the right to beat up women. Victoria goes over to see
Maria and expresses her irritation at the thought of Lucrecia staying at
Deigo’s and admits that she’s dying with jealousy. Maria tells her that all she
has to do is forget her revenge and marry Diego, but Victoria refuses to let
the Monteros get away with all they’ve done to her. Maria tells her that if she
doesn’t, she’d better pray that Lucrecia doesn’t steal Diego away from her.
Lucrecia tells Diego that she doesn’t think
the police will do anything because a lot of people are afraid of her father
and Diego tells her that he’ll make sure that they give her a restraining order
so that Don G can’t come within 500 feet of her. He tells her that it’s not
right for a father to beat his daughter. She puts her arms around him and asks
if he’s doing it to help her or because he wants to hurt her father. Gerardo
messes up at work and Don G confronts him. Gerardo tells him he did everything
as best he could and asks for another opportunity, then admits that he’s not as
capable as Alex and that he doesn’t really want to inherit the company. Don G
is shocked and smiles, asking, “It doesn’t interest you?” He tells him that it
doesn’t and that it only matters to his dad.
Ruben tells Renato that he’s sure that his
son Gerardo will inherit everything and Renato tells him that Alex isn’t
officially disinherited and offers to make a wager. Renato quickly apologizes
for offering to make a bet and “innocently” remarks that Gerardo’s the one who
would be more interested in making a bet than Ruben (Gerardo has a gambling
addiction). Ruben asks why he’s so interested in who’s going to inherit and
asks if he’s also interested in the Montero fortune. “Also?” Renato asks him.
“Are you admitting that you’re interested in the Montero fortune?” Ruben laughs
and says “Of course, not” and Renato tells him that he’s not interested either
because he has enough money in France to live off of until the day he dies. Ruben
is still suspicious and Renato tells him that he’s just looking out for his
niece and Ruben tells him to make sure his niece gets Alex back because if she
doesn’t she’ll lose everything.
Isabela tells Christa that she can’t take
another one of Renato’s beatings and says that she has to get Alex back so she
doesn’t have to go home with Renato and be punished. Victoria tells Maria that
she’s going to see Don Chema and ask him if Diego will fall in love with
Lucrecia. Maria tells her that Diego might stop waiting for her and marry
Lucrecia out of pity. Amalia tells Carolina that Macario apologized to her and
that they’re back to together and no matter what Don Chema says, she won’t lose
Macario to another woman.
Diego tells Lucrecia that Don G won’t be able
to come near his ranch while Lucrecia lives with him when she gets the
restraining order. Don G tells Gerardo that since he’s sincere about not
wanting to inherit, he’ll have more patience with him and Gerardo says it might
be best if he wasn’t chosen as the heir. Don G tells him that he’s changed the
way he sees him (Gerardo) and that his sincerity is a quality that he admires
and tells him that his father will probably grow tired of his plans to make
Gerardo Don G’s heir or realize that Gerardo doesn’t have what it takes to work
there and leave him alone.
Macario tells Patricio that he won’t let
them kill Carolina in order to frame Diego Ibarra and Miguel tells him that
killing Carolina is just another way for Don G to make Alex marry Isabela so
that he can keep Alex as his heir. Gonzalo tells his son how proud he is of him
as Miguel tells Patricio to forget the plan to kill Carolina and when Miguel
insults her, Macario smacks him in the back of the head and tells him not to
talk about Carolina like that. He tells Patricio, “I’m not going to permit
anyone to touch a hair on Carolina’s head!” Patricio tells them that his plan
isn’t to kill Carolina and blame Diego. He tells him that his plan is to
implicate Diego in the murder of Don Gregorio.
Maria tells Victoria that men don’t have
the patience to wait forever, even if they’re good men and tells her that
Lucrecia is far from ugly. Diego arrives home with Lucrecia and she tells him
she wants him and Victoria overhears and runs away. Lucrecia sees Victoria and
Diego manages to escape Lucrecia and leaves her with Maria. Outside, he finds
Victoria and stops her. She tells him to go back home because the woman that he
really wants is there waiting for him. He’s shocked that she’s so angry and
reminds her that he told her that Lucrecia and that she’s the one who told him
that she was okay with Lucrecia being there. Tears in her eyes, she tells him
to go to Lucrecia because that’s what he really wants, to marry her. Angrily,
he asks her what’s wrong with her and she tells him that she can’t believe he
could be so blind. “Can’t you see that I’m dying of jealousy?”
“You’re jealous? My love, you have nothing
to be worried about. You’re the love of my life. I love only you.”
“I love
you, too. But we can’t be together.”
“Of
course we can. Just tell me what’s your problem and we’ll resolve it together.”
She tells
him that she can’t and that when he finds out what she’s hiding, he’s going to
look down on her.
Lucrecia is suspicious about Victoria and
Maria tells her that Victoria was there because Diego asked her to give him
reports on Don G so that he can protect Lucrecia from him. Lucrecia buys her
explanation and is satisfied in her belief that Diego is only interested in
protecting her. Patricio proposes that he, Macario, and Miguel should kill Don
G and blame Diego for the murder instead of killing Carolina. Miguel agrees and
so does Macario, but Macario also warns them that Carolina must not be harmed
in any way.
Amalia tells Carolina that she looks lovely
and thanks her for being her friend. She tells her that she doesn’t care about
what Don Chema said about her ending her friendship with Carolina because she
thinks of Carolina as her sister. She says that they’ll be friends forever and
that she’s going to marry Macario and Carolina will marry Alex. Gonzalo offers
to go with Alex to see Carolina, but before they leave, he asks Alex if he
would be upset if he divorced Gladys. Gladys says that a decent woman wouldn’t
behave like Lucreica’s behaving and move in with some man and Florencia tells
her that everyone can’t be as virtuous as she (Gladys) is and reminds her how
much Lucrecia’s suffered. Gladys tells her that it’s all Lucrecia’s fault and
Florencia stops her from insulting her sister. Florencia orders Gladys not to
tell Don G that Lucrecia is with Diego and if he asks where she is, she’s to
tell him that she’s staying with her and Martin. Florencia warns her against
creating more problems for Lucrecia and leaves. Gladys doesn’t look too
concerned as Florencia walks away.
Diego comforts Victoria and she asks his
forgiveness, telling him, “First, I asked you to stop loving me and then I make
a jealous scene.” He’s happy that she’s jealous and tells her that it means she
really does want him. She tells him it’s not fair because she can’t be with him
and he tells her that she can, all she has to do is tell him what she’s hiding.
She continues to refuse and tells him that they can never be together and walks
away from him.

Episode Twenty-three
Diego comforts Victoria and she asks his
forgiveness because she told him to stop loving her and then made a jealous
scene. He tells her that he’s happy she was jealous and that it means she
really does want him. He begs her to tell him what she’s hiding and she tells
him that they can never be together and walks away from him. Lucrecia tells
Maria that she likes Victoria and Carolina a lot and that she would be very
happy if Alex married Carolina. Gonzalo asks Alex if it would upset him if he
divorced Gladys and Alex is surprised but understands why his father wants a
divorce. Alex asks why he didn’t do it a long time ago and Gonzalo tells him
that he didn’t have an excuse and now he does: he tells Alex that he’s in love
for the very first time in his life.
Gladys tells Constanza and Bianca that
Florencia told her to lie to Don G about where Lucrecia is and insults Lucrecia
and refuses to do it. Constanza tells her to stop insulting her sister and
reminds her that she didn’t marry Don G, she married Gonzalo and she has no
right to walk around like she was lady of the house. Bianca yells at Gladys
when she insults Constanza and Florencia and Lucrecia, Gladys tells her not to
yell at her and that she’s going to tell her father Ruben that Bianca
disrespected her and walks away. Constanza is worried Ruben will be angry and
Bianca apologizes and says that Gladys is a bad person and that she has reason
to be because Gonzalo never wanted her and never will.
Gonzalo assures Alex that he’s in love and
that he’d do anything for her. Alex is shocked to learn that Victoria’s the one
he wants and tells his father to make sure that Victoria feels the same way.
Alex laughs when he thinks of how his grandfather will respond when he marries
Carolina and Gonzalo marries Victoria. Gonzalo tells him that he’s not thinking
about marrying Victoria. Alex tells him not to play with Victoria and Gonzalo says
that if Gladys knows that he’s going to marry Victoria, he’s certain that
Gladys won’t give him a divorce. Florencia tells Martin what Don G did to
Lucrecia and Martin tells her that Lucrecia should go to the police. She tells
Martina that Lucrecia provoked Don G and asks him if Lucrecia can come and stay
with them for a while. Martin doesn’t want Lucrecia to stay with them because
she’s always causing problems and he wants to live in peace.
Diego comes home and is surprised when
Lucrecia asks him if Victoria told him anything about Don G. Maria tells him
that she told Lucrecia that Victoria was supposed to bring him information
about Don G because he wanted to keep her safe from him. Lucrecia tells Diego
that she’s grateful to Victoria for helping her and to him, too, because it
means he cares about her. She hugs him. Victoria thinks back over all the
things that have happened to her in the past and her vow to never love anyone.
Then, she thinks about Diego and starts crying. Maria tells Lucrecia that Victoria
had nothing to report to them and that Lucrecia’s not in any danger from Don G
at the moment. Lucrecia tells Diego that while she’s living there, she wants to
help do something and he tells her she doesn’t have to do anything but rest and
recuperate. Lucrecia offers to be his personal assistant and tries to get close
to him. Maria leaves and Diego accuses her of breaking their pact of friendship
and tells her that even though she’s living in his ranch, she won’t be living
there as his girlfriend and that she will only be there for a little while and
they have to look for a solution for her problem.
Patricio proposes that he get Don G to make
him executor of his estate and that they can kill Don G and make the police
think Diego did it. Macario and Miguel agree to his plan. Diego tells German
what happened with Victoria asks German what he would do if he were in his
place as German daydreams. Diego asks who he’s thinking about and German admits
that he was thinking about Amalia and Diego tells him that Cupid’s shot him.
Amalia and Carolina find Alex and Gonzalo. Alex tells her she looks beautiful
and introduces Carolina to his father. Gonzalo tells them that Carolina is
lovely and that he likes her better than Isabela. Amalia tells them that
Isabela doesn’t even compare to Carolina and insults Isabela, calling her a
venomous viper.
Christa tries to talk Isabela out of doing
something to hurt Renato when Renato walks in and overhears them talking about
him. Renato tells Isabela that since Alex hasn’t come to see her yet, she’s
going home with him and that he’s going to punish her. Isabela begs him,
telling him that maybe Alex was just late. They learn that Alex has called and
says that he’s on his way and Isabela is relieved that she’s saved from her punishment.
Amalia asks Gonzalo if he knows about the
bet and he tells her that he does and Carolina says that she’s happy things
have been cleared up and vows never to doubt Alex again. Alex and Carolina
leave and Gonzalo asks Amalia how long she’s going to stay there at the ranch,
blackmailing them and not working. Amalia isn’t intimidated by him and tells
him that if he’s looking for Victoria, she’s not there and leaves. Victoria
runs into Flora on the Montero ranch. Flora tells her that she came to tell her
that she refuses to let her nephew keep suffering because of her.
Alex arrives at the office and finds
Renato, Christa, and Isabela. Isabela comes forward and wraps her arms around
Alex and suggests she and Alex let Christa and Renato leave, but Alex insists
that they all stay and hear what he has to say. He opens the door and lets
Carolina come in and announces to Renato that he’s going to show him what kind
of people his “nieces” are. Alex and Carolina tell Renato that Isabela lied
about Christa and Alex having made a bet and did it to try to break them up.
Flora and Victoria arrive at Los Encinos
and Flora tells Maria to make them some coffee. She invites Victoria to the
living room and Victoria asks why. Flora tells her that she doesn’t have to
have her coffee in the kitchen because she is a “..very important person in
this house..” Victoria thanks her but says that she’d prefer not to see
Lucrecia and Flora assures her that Lucrecia is sleeping. Lucrecia watches
Diego work and tells herself that she’s definitely in love with him and that
he’s the love of her life as Diego tells German that he thinks he’s in love
with Amalia.
Amalia walks in on Patricio, Macario and
Miguel talking about a dead man (Don G) and Macario yells at her for coming in
without knocking. Patricio covers, telling her that he lost his soccer
equipment and that’s why they said he was a dead man. Don G gives Gerardo some
business lessons and Gerardo decides that it’s not so difficult after all and
Don G pats him on the shoulder and tells him that if he’d only apply himself,
he can accomplish a lot. Ruben arrives and tells Don G that Alex has shown up
with Carolina. Don G is outraged.
Alex orders Isabela to give him an
explanation and Renato tells Alex that if Isabela lied to him it was because
she loves him and that he always taught Isabela never to lie. Alex tells him
that he doesn’t want an answer form him and that he wants Isabela to answer
him. Renato accuses him of not being fair and Alex tells him that he never lied
to Isabela and that he regrets having hurt her. Renato tells him that Isabela
left everything in France to come to another country and marry him and tells
him that he’s certain that even though Carolina claims to love him, she only
wants him for his money. Carolina denies his accusations as Don G tells Ruben
to tell Alex that he wants to talk to him. Ruben is pleased to see Don G
working with Gerardo and tells Don G that Gerardo is like him. Don G isn’t so
sure Gerardo is like his father and says that he appreciates Gerardo’s
sincerity. Gerardo shows his father what he can do on the computer as Don G
thinks to himself how inept Gerardo is and how Alex should be the one to
inherit.
Renato tells Carolina that maybe she isn’t
interested in Alex’s money, but tells her that her mother is. Carolina tells
him not to insult her mother. Alex tells them that nothing Renato can say will
change the way he feels about Carolina and Renato tells Christa and Isabela to
wait outside for him but not to go far. When they go outside, Carolina tells
Renato that they’ll never separate her form Alex. Alex tells her not to worry,
kisses her, and she leaves them to talk alone. Isabela and Christa verbally
attack Carolina and Carolina tells them she’ll never again fall for another one
of their traps and leaves.
Carolina tells a receptionist where to find
her if Alex comes looking for her and bumps into Don G. She tells him that he
can start. “Start what?” he asks her. She tells him he can start insulting her
now because she knows that’s what he wants to do because she’s sure he’s not
there to congratulate her. Renato tells Alex that he knows what kind of person
Victoria is and that Alex still loves Isabela. Alex tells him he doesn’t love
Isabela and that he’s sure that he loves Carolina and warns Renato not to
insult Carolina or her mother ever again. Renato asks why Alex would believe
that a poor girl would “fall in love” with him so fast if she wasn’t just after
his money and Alex tells him that it’s not true because he fell in love with
Carolina instantly, too.
Carolina tells Don G that if he has nothing
to say to her, she’s leaving. He stops her and tells her that there’s something
about her that reminds him of his late wife, Teresa, “the love of my life”. She
tells him that it’s the same thing Florencia told her. He tells her it’s true
and that she seems like a young Teresa. Constanza and Bianca look in a photo
album and Constanza grows sad thinking about her mother. She tells Bianca that
her life would have been a lot different if her mother hadn’t died. Bianca asks
her if it’s true that her grandmother died when she found out that Don G had an
illegitimate child (Miguel) and Constanza tells her it’s true. She tells her
that when her mother died, Don G began to treat everyone cruelly. They express
their happiness that they have each other and that at least Florencia found
Martin and is happy with him. Constanza promises Bianca that she’ll never let
anyone force her to marry someone she doesn’t love.
Florencia tries to get Martin to get in touch
with Diego to see if they can see how Lucrecia is doing. Florencia expresses
her adoration of Martin and Martin tells her that he’s happy her father gave
her to him. Don G invites Carolina into an office to talk and she tells him
that whatever he has to tell her, he can tell her there in the hall. He guesses
that she’s afraid to leave Alex alone with Isabela because she might be nervous
that Alex will get back with Isabela. Carolina tells him she’s not afraid and
that Alex isn’t with Isabela, she’s with Renato. She informs him that she’s not
insecure about Alex as Alex tells Renato how much he loves Carolina and grows
tired of Renato’s insistence that Carolina only wants his money. Alex tells him
that Victoria and Carolina already know that he’s disinherited and that neither
of them care. Renato tells him he’s wrong and that one day, he’ll prove it to
him.
Flora tells Victoria that Diego has
suffered a lot and that she doesn’t want him to suffer anymore and offers to
tell her about Diego’s life so that she’ll understand him better. Martin calls
Diego and invites Diego to dinner and Diego tells him he‘ll meet him that
night. Lucrecia tells Diego that she couldn’t sleep and that she’s afraid her
father will show up and try to hurt her and wants to be close to Diego so that
he can defend her. Diego asks Lucrecia to talk about Amalia and Lucrecia is
surprised that he wants to talk about, “..that savage girl that works at my
father’s ranch?” German doesn’t look pleased to hear her insult Amalia. Alone,
Macario tells Amalia to act more civilized or he’ll grow tired of her and
Amalia becomes suspicious, asking him if he was really talking to Miguel and
Patricio about soccer or if they were talking about killing someone.
Don G takes Carolina to an office and asks
her if she considers him an enemy. She tells him that she considers him an
enemy because he and everybody else think she and her mother are only after his
money. Victoria tells Flora she doesn’t have to tell her anything about Diego
and that it’ll only be a waste of time as Diego walks in and overhears them.
Flora tells her that she has to know more about Diego’s life and Diego yells,
“No, Aunt! I don’t want you to tell Victoria anything about my past.”
Lucrecia tries to make nice with German but
German tells her that she’s causing a lot of problems for Diego with her
father. Lucrecia tells him that he follows Diego around like a dog, doing
whatever he wants him to do. German tells her she should be careful and that
he’s not Diego’s dog, he’s his foreman and best friend and tells her that he’d
defend Diego with his life. Lucreica makes fun of his loyalty and German almost
lets Victoria’s name slip when he tells her that Diego loves another woman and
that she should stop trying to get Diego because he’ll never stop loving that
other woman. “We’ll see about that,” she says and walks away.
Macario tries to make Amalia forget her
suspicions and tells her that he’s enchanted by her and she apologizes, telling
him to trust her and tell her what’s going on. Don G tells Carolina that he
doesn’t care what other people at the ranch are saying and tells her that she
dresses very well for a servant. She tells him that she can explain it and he
tells her he has the time to hear her explanation. “I won’t to get to know you better,”
he tells her and sits behind his desk. “Me?” He answers, “Yes, who knows? Maybe
we will become friends.” The

Episode Twenty-four
Don G is arrested. Diego tells Victoria not
to talk to his aunt about his past and tells his aunt that he doesn’t want her
to tell Victoria anything because she and Los Encinos are his present and the
past should be left in the past. Victoria tries to calm him down and tells him
that she won’t listen to Flora because she doesn’t want to know. She also tells
him to guard his past, because that’s exactly what she’s doing, guarding her
own past. She thanks Flora for what she tried to do, apologizes, and leaves.
Flora tells Diego that if he doesn’t tell Victoria about his past, it’ll come
back to hurt him and make him bitter. He tells her that he’s already bitter.
Victoria tells Maria what happened and that
she’s intrigued. Lucrecia arrives and asks her if she knows if the police have
come for Don G yet. At the police station, Don G tells Ruben that he doesn’t
care that Lucrecia is his daughter and that she will pay for what she’s done to
him. Don G wonders why his lawyer hasn’t arrived yet and Ruben tries to calm
him, expressing his own outrage that Lucrecia would have her father arrested
for beating her up. Don G tells Ruben that he should have told Alex to get his
lawyer instead of giving Gerardo the task. Gerardo and the lawyer arrive, Alex
and Carolina with them. Alex tells Carolina that he wants Gerardo to go in
alone with the lawyer so that Don G will think that Gerardo got him on his own.
He says that if Gerardo goes in with the lawyer alone, they won’t know that
Alex was the one who actually found him and brought him there and Ruben won’t
get angry with Gerardo because he wants Gerardo to gain Don G’s confidence. He
tells Carolina that they all have to be very careful with Ruben because he’s
very ambitious.
The lawyer and Gerardo find Don G and Ruben.
The lawyer tells Don G that everybody knows that Lucrecia is crazy and tells
him to deny all the charges against him because a domestic violence charge is
very problematic. Alex and Carolina walk in and Don G asks him why he came
since he doesn’t need him and Alex tells him that he’s still his grandfather
and he wants to know what will happen. Don G tells him that if he’s so
concerned, he should go to talk to Lucrecia and try to convince her to drop the
charges against him.
Victoria and Maria tell Lucrecia that
everything is calm at the Montero ranch and that there’s nothing to report.
Lucrecia isn’t impressed with Victoria’s abilities as Diego’s spy and expresses
her opinion, coolly telling Victoria to let them know if and when she finds out
anything. She leaves and Maria goes back to work. Don G asks why Carolina is
there and Alex tells him that she’s there because she was the one who told him
that he’d been arrested. He tells Don G that he’s leaving, but Don G stops
them, telling Carolina to remember that they have a conversation pending. Alex
asks her about it and she tells him that Don G told her that she reminds him of
his late wife, Teresa.
Gonzalo, Gladys, and Patricio learn that
Don G’s been arrested for beating up Lucrecia. Gonzalo is amused and tells them
that his father deserved to be arrested for what he did. Gonzalo defends his
sister as Gladys defends her father-in-law. Gonzalo expresses his admiration
for Lucrecia and Alex for standing up to Don G and Gladys tells him that Don
G’s going to make Lucreica pay for what she’s done. Don G does what his lawyer
tells him to do and tells the police that Lucre CIA’s a crazy liar. Carolina
and Alex go home and Alex tells her that Don G deserves to be taught a lesson
but on the other hand, he doesn’t like to see anything bad happen to his
grandfather. Carolina tells him that she understands him and talks to him about
her mother, telling him that she knows her mother loves her, but sometimes
Victoria is cold and distant to her. She tells him that Victoria has a lot of
secrets that she doesn’t want Carolina to discover. Alex remembers Renato’s
accusation that Victoria only wants him and Carolina together so that she can
get the Montero fortune and that maybe Carolina wants the same thing too and
shakes his head at the memory.
Renato attacks Isabela and threatens her if
she doesn’t do what he ordered her to do and take Alex away from Carolina. He
tells her that she has to get close to Alex and Carolina because now that Don G
is in jail, he won’t be able to do anything to keep Alex and Carolina apart and
suspects that they might plan a quick, secret wedding and get married if
Isabela or Don G isn’t there to stop them. He tells Isabela to take a taxi back
to the ranch. Alex tells Carolina that no one will separate them and tells her
to be careful. They kiss and tell each other “I love you” and Alex gets out of
the cab. Isabela gets into another cab and thinks about Alex and Renato, then
thinks about kissing Patricio. She cries and smiles when she thinks of kissing
Patricio and tells the taxi cab driver to change directions and take her to the
Hotel Deauville.
Patricio goes home and tells his father and
Florencia that Don G’s been arrested as the police release Don G. He tells them
that he’s sure that Lucreica will drop the charges and tell everyone that she
got lost that night and got beat up and doesn’t remember who did it. Alex asks
him how he’s going to get her to say that when everyone knows he’s the one who
did it. Don G tells him that everyone knows, but they won’t say anything. Don G
tells Alex that he wants to talk to him alone. Alone together, Ruben orders
Gerardo to go get the car so that can go after Don G and Alex and see what
they’re going to talk about.
Don G tells Alex that he doesn’t want to talk
about Isabela, he wants to talk about Carolina. Alex tells him that nothing he
says will make him change his opinion about Carolina and that he’ll never marry
Isabela. Don G tells him, “Maybe I don’t want you to change your mind.”
Carolina goes home and tells Victoria that she was with Alex and that Isabela
set her up and lied about the bet. She tells her that she and Alex are back
together as Victoria thinks about her revenge. She tells Carolina that she’s
happy for her and tells her again that she and Diego can never be together.
Flora goes to Diego’s room to see him and
he apologizes to her for the way he spoke to her earlier. Flora tells him that
she knows that Victoria loves him. He says, “Maybe, Aunt. Maybe. But I‘m still
not ready to talk to her about my past.” Carolina tells Victoria that she wants
her to be happy and Victoria tells her that she’s happy if Carolina’s happy.
She also warns her about Isabela and Carolina tells her that Isabela is
suffering because she loves Alex so much. Thinking about how Isabela and Renato
are only after the Montero fortune, Victoria shakes her head at Carolina’s
naiveté and doubts Isabela isn’t what she pretends to be. Renato tells Christa
that he hopes Alex will continue to feel guilty for about “hurting Isabela”
when she came all the way from France to marry him, but Christa doubts that
Alex will feel bad enough to actually dump Carolina and go back to Isabela.
Patricio meets Isabela at the hotel. She
tells him how much she likes him and needs him, telling him that Alex isn’t
important and that she desires him (Patricio) and the only thing that’s
important is that she has him there with her. They have sex. Victoria tells
Carolina not to feel bad for Isabela and Carolina tells her that Alex
confronted Isabela and Christa about their lie. Patricio wonders why Isabela
wasn’t a virgin and she tells him that in Frnace, Alex made her have sex with
him. Patricio laughs and doesn’t believe her and calls her a lady in the
drawing room and a wild animal in bed. He tells her he doesn’t think bad of her
and tells her that every woman should be like her. He calls her perfect and
calls Alex stupid for losing her.
Don G tells Alex that maybe he might accept
Carolina one day. Alex isn’t impressed with his announcement. Carolina tells
Victoria not to worry about her and Victoria tells her that she’s sure that
Isabela only wants the Montero fortune. Carolina asks her if she’s interested
in the Montero fortune and Victoria assures her that she isn’t. Don G tells him
never to disrespect his authority in public again but Alex continues to stand
up to his grandfather, ordering him to stay out of his personal life. Carolina
tells Victoria that the whole world thinks they’re only after the Montero
fortune and Victoria tells her that the whole world can go to hell. Carolina
turns the conversation to Diego and Victoria doesn’t want to talk about him.
Diego goes to have dinner with Florencia
and Martin and learns that Don G was arrested. Florencia calls her father a
savage and Martin thanks Diego. They tell Diego that they want to protect
Lucrecia and want her to come live with them and want his help to convince her.
Diego thinks it’s a great idea that Lucrecia moves in with them and he
expresses his discomfort at having Lucrecia living with him because she thinks
she‘s in love with him. Florencia tells Diego that Lucrecia provoked her father
just so he could beat her and she could find a way to make Diego let her live
with him at his ranch. Diego is shocked as Lucrecia asks Flora if Diego’s with
the woman that he claims to love. Flora tells her that he really does love the
other woman and tells Lucrecia to leave Diego alone and that he’ll never love
her.
Alex tells his grandfather that he won’t
let him run his life and Don G tells him that he admires his valor and also
tells him that he’s not going to make a decision about disinheriting him yet
and that he wants to get to know Carolina better. Alex tells him that he would
prefer that Carolina stays away from him. Don G asks him if he’s jealous of his
own grandfather and Alex tells him that he’s not but that he knows how he is.
Don G tells him he’s not going to hurt Carolina and only wants to get to know
her better. He tells him that he and Alex have the same taste in women and that
Carolina reminds him a lot of his late wife, Teresa. Don G tells him that if
Carolina turns out to be the same kind of woman that his wife Teresa was, he
will support Alex’s decision to marry her.
Patricio gets dressed and on the bed behind
him, Isabela asks if he’s worried about what his grandfather might do and he
tells her that his relationship with Don G is a lot better than it was before.
He asks her if she still thinks she’s going to marry Alex and Isabela tells him
yes. He reminds her that she told him that she loved him and asks Isabela if
she’s now going to tell him that she loves Alex instead. Patricio comes to the
realization that Isabela only wants Alex for his money.
Alex is surprised at his grandfather’s
announcement, but tells him that he will marry Carolina with or without his
approval. Alex is about to leave when he tells his grandfather that if he
really means what he says, he’ll help him by making Isabela leave the ranch.
Don G says no, telling him that the only way to find out Carolina and Isabela’s
true natures is to have them near so that he can see which one is the better
person.
Carolina manages to convince Victoria that
it’s time she learned about the secrets she’s been hiding. Diego expresses his
outrage to Martina and Florencia as Florencia tells him that Lucrecia needs a
psychiatrist. Diego tells her that what Lucrecia needs is to leave his ranch
immediately. Diego tells him them that he’ll have dinner with them later
because he’s going to speak with Lucrecia and leaves angrily.
Maria tells Lucrecia that she doesn’t have
any loyalty to her and Lucrecia remarks that she’s given all her loyalty to her
friend, the one that Diego’s in love with. Maria tells her that it’s none of
her business. Lucrecia tells her to warn her friend to be careful because
she’ll do whatever it takes to get Diego. Maria tells her that Victoria is
tough enough to fight her own battles and that she’s more than a match for
Lucrecia and will defend her love for Diego.
Victoria tells Carolina that it’s time she
told her what she’s been hiding but that she can’t do it right now. Carolina
tells her that if she doesn’t tell her, she’ll investigate the situation
herself and threatens to ask Don G about what happened in her past. Victoria is
shocked and Carolina tells her that she met Don G and thinks that he likes her.
Victoria discovers that Don G was arrested for beating up Lucrecia. Alex
arrives and asks if Victoria heard about the trap Isabela set up to break him
and Carolina up. Victoria asks Alex how he can be so sure that he loves
Carolina when only a few weeks ago, he was sure that he was in love with
Isabela. She tells Carolina that she needs to be sure that Alex won’t change
his mind about he like he did so quickly with Isabela.
Patricio takes Isabela home and she tells
him that no one has to know about their relationship and tells him to leave
before someone sees them. He kisses her as Gladys watches and leaves. When she
gets Isabela alone, Gladys confronts her for kissing Patricio. Diego arrives
home and asks Maria to leave him alone with Lucrecia and he confronts her,
telling her that she provoked the beating her father gave her just so she could
get into his house and tells her that he won’t tolerate her game.

Episode Twenty-five
Diego angrily confronts Lucrecia and orders
her out of his house. Lucrecia cries and accuses him of not caring for her and
only thinking about the woman he loves, saying that all she did she did for
love and all he can think about is the woman he loves. He accuses her of acting
childish and she tells him not to treat her like a child. He tells her to
comport herself like a woman if she wants to be treated like one. Gladys
confronts Isabela for the kiss she saw her give Patricio. Isabela begs her not
to tell Renato and Gladys tells her she’s left with no choice and has to tell
him. Gonzalo and Miguel have a drink and Gonzalo announces his plans to divorce
Gladys as Gladys and Isabela continue to argue. Isabela turns the tables on
Gladys and asks her what kind of mother she is to sacrifice her son and try to
make him marry a woman like her (Isabela).
Victoria expresses her uncertainty about
Alex’s feelings for Carolina because he changed his mind about marrying Isabela
so easy and might do the same thing to Carolina. Alex apologizes to Victoria
and tells her that he understands that she’s afraid for Carolina and assures
her that his feelings for Carolina are true and that they won’t change.
Lucrecia cries and begs Diego not to throw her out, but Diego refuses to listen
to her, telling her that he doesn’t love her. Maria walks in as Lucrecia tells
Diego that she loves him and knows that one day he’ll come to love her. She tells
Maria to leave them alone to talk and Diego says, “Now, you’ve decided you have
the right give orders in my house, huh? Maria, stay!”
Lucrecia asks, “Why does Maria have to hear
what we’re talking about? Why does she have to witness you humiliating me?”
Diego doesn’t care if she’s humiliated and Lucrecia drops to her knees, begging
him not to get rid of her as Maria continues to work and watch in the
background. “I’m begging you on bended knee, Diego. Please let me live here.”
Diego is speechless. As Gerardo and Ruben watch, Don G accepts a phone call
from Patricio and tells him to meet him at the ranch in a half hour. When Ruben
asks what’s going on, Don G tells him it’s none of his business, tells them to
finish their work, and leaves. Alone together, Ruben smacks Gerardo on the side
of the head and warns him that Don G might make Patricio his heir.
Florencia worries about Lucrecia because
she’s certain that Diego’s angry enough to throw Lucrecia out. The conversation
turns to Diego’s past and she reminds Martin that people say that Diego’s a
murderer. Martin tells her that Diego was absolved of the murder as Alex when
Carolina asks him to leave her alone to speak to her mother. Carolina tells
Victoria that she trusts Alex and tells her she wants to know about her past
and what the Monteros have to do with it. Gladys and Isabela continue to argue.
Gladys tells Isabela that she’s not a bad mother and that the only reason why
she wants her to marry Alex is because Renato is forcing her and Isabela reminds
her that she’s being forced into it, too. Gladys slaps Isabela when she insults
her and Gonzalo walks in on the slap.
Diego tells Lucrecia that he doesn’t hate
her and doesn’t know her well enough to hate her as Flora, German, and Maria
watch in the background. Diego tells her that she knows what he’s capable of
and reminds her of the day she showed up in his bedroom naked. He tells her
that it’s best she moves in with her sister. She turns to Flora and German and
begs them to help her. German takes Diego outside so that he can take a moment
to calm down. Lucrecia tries to go after him, but Flora stops her, telling her
to calm down. Lucrecia asks Flora why no one understands that she did all the
things she did because she loves him. She tells Flora that she doesn’t want to
leave and Flora tells her that she has to go whether she wants to or no. She
advises her to have dignity and stop doing ridiculous things for a man that
doesn’t love her. She tells Lucrecia that she’s not going to let her blackmail
Diego with all her tears and problems.
Gonzalo calls Gladys a serpent. Isabela
asks him what he heard. He tells her that he heard her yell and saw Gladys hit
her. He tells Isabela to go have a drink with him because he thinks that a
“drunk like me” is better company than Gladys. They leave. Gladys calls him
stupid and asks herself why she loves him so much when all he feels for her is
hatred. Diego tells German that he doesn’t know what he’s going to do because
if he throws her out, Lucrecia is capable of anything. German tells him that he
doesn’t need Lucrecia doing something crazy and then the whole world blaming
him (Diego) for it. Diego gets an idea as Flora tells Lucrecia that she can’t
do anything for her. Lucrecia continues to whine and tells Flora how much she
loves Diego and begs her to help her stay. Diego arrives and tells Lucrecia
that he thought about it and he’s not going to throw her off the ranch. Flora
asks Diego if he’s sure and reminds him that Lucrecia has people in her family
who would help her. Lucrecia tries to get her to shut up, saying, “You told me
yourself that Diego’s the one that gives the orders here and eh just told you
that I can stay with him.”
Diego tells her not to misinterpret him and
announces that she can stay there and recuperate but he’s the one leaving the
ranch. He walks out and Lucrecia runs after him. Patricio meets with Don G and
learns that Don G wants to cancel their plan to kill Carolina and blame Diego
for it. He tells Patricio that he still wants to kill someone and make Diego
look like the killer, but has decided the person they kill won’t be Carolina
and they must look for another victim. Patricio thinks to himself, “You’re
going to be the victim, Grandfather. We’re going to kill you.”
Carolina tells her mother that she needs to
know about her past and doesn’t care if she did something bad or not and
promises not to judge her. Victoria tells her that she didn’t do anything bad
and tells her that she’ll tell her about her past. She says that Carolina can
learn from her experience so that she can be cautious with Alex. Alex comforts
his mother as she cries because she thinks Gonzalo detests her. Alex tells her
that Gonzalo doesn’t detest her and that he’s unhappy at her side. She tells
him that she always tried to be a good wife but that he never touched her, then
stops herself, telling him she’s sorry and didn’t mean to talk to him about
something so intimate. Alex tells her not to apologize and that he knows that
she and Gonzalo don’t love each other. Gladys tells him that she did love him
and was always looking for a way to fix their situation. He tells her not to
try to revive something that’s been dead for so long and advises her to try to
reclaim her life. She asks him what he means as Carolina asks Victoria why she
has to be cautious with Alex and Victoria tells her that she can’t trust any of
the Monteros--Gladys, either, because even though she doesn’t have the Montero
blood in her veins, she’s just like the other Monteros.
Gladys asks what Alex meant as Alex realizes
that Gonzalo still hasn’t talked to Gladys about getting a divorce. Alex tells
her that she should look for a man who will really love her and she’s shocked
and asks if he’s telling her that he doesn’t care if she and Gonzalo get a
divorce. He tells her that a divorce won’t affect him and she refuses, telling
him that she’ll never divorce his father. She asks if Gonzalo told him that he
wanted a divorce and if he’s in love with another woman as Gonzalo talks to
Isabela about Gladys. Gonzalo tells Isabela to leave and forget about Alex and
find someone else. Isabela refuses, telling him that she loves Alex and won’t
let Carolina steal him from her. Victoria tells Carolina that Gonzalo made her
have sex with him in exchange for saving grandmother’s life, but tells her that
her grandmother died anyway. Carolina is shocked and cries as Gonzalo and
Isabela argue about Alex. Alex tells his mother that if she wants to know if
Gonzalo has another woman, she should ask him and Gladys comes to the
realization that Gonzalo has another woman who means more to him than all the
other women he cheated on her with.
Victoria tells Carolina that the Monteros
did other things to her, too, and tells her that she can’t marry Diego until
she gets her revenge against the Monteros. Diego packs his bags as Lucrecia
tries to stop him from leaving. He tells her that they can’t live under the
same roof and that if she doesn’t leave, he’s leaving because he doesn’t want
any more problems from her. Desperate, Lucrecia tells him that he’s only
leaving because he doesn’t want to protect her and wants to leave her alone so
that her father can come back and hurt her. Diego tells her that his employees
will protect her if Don G comes there for her. He tells her bye and walks
towards the door. She begs him not to go and he tells her that she isn’t
leaving him with any other choice, telling her that he can’t stay there alone
with her. She asks him if he’s leaving because the woman he loves will be angry
if he stays there with her and he tells her that that’s not the only reason and
that he doesn’t want to stay there alone with him because he’s the one that
would be bothered by it. “You love this other woman that much?” she asks him.
He tells her, “Con todo mi alma.” Lucreica looks hurt.
Carolina knows why she hates Gonzalo but
asks why Victoria hates the other Monteros, too. Victoria tells Carolina that
as a result of what he did to her, she was left pregnant. Carolina is horrified
to think that she and Alex are brother and sister. Alex tries to calm his
mother as she begs him to tell her if Gonzalo told him that he wants to divorce
her. Gladys insults Gonzalo and tells Alex that she won’t permit Gonzalo to
divorce her and especially not for Victoria. Alex asks why she thinks it’s
Victoria and Gladys insults Victoria, telling Alex that the whole world knows
what’s going on between her and Gonzalo. Carolina asks Victoria if she’s a
Montero. Outraged, she asks how Victoria could let her and Alex have a romantic
relationship together if she knows they’re related.
Victoria tells her the truth, that she
isn’t Gonzalo’s daughter and that the baby she was pregnant with died. Victoria
calms her and continues to assure her that she’s not related to Alex and asks
how she could think her capable of letting her have a romantic relationship
with Alex if she knew they were brother and sister. Carolina calms down and
apologizes. Then, she asks Victoria who her father is. Constanza goes to visit
Florencia at work, telling her that Ruben gave her permission to visit her.
Florencia tells Constanza about what Lucrecia did. Diego tells Lucrecia that
she’s safe at the ranch and gets up again to leave. She begs him not to leave.
He tells her that if she doesn’t want him to leave, then she’s the one who’ll
have to leave. He suggests she moves in with her sister Florencia.
Lucrecia tells him that she doesn’t care
about Florencia and that she’s not going anywhere. Florencia and Constanza
think that Lucreica will reveal their secret as Ruben continues to plot and
pressure Gerardo. Don G tells Patricio that he doesn’t want anyone to hurt
Carolina but still wants to set Diego up for murder. He tells him that he’ll
make Lucrecia pay for what she’s done, but has to be careful because she’s
capable of doing anything. Diego tells Lucrecia that Florencia is worried about
her, but Lucrecia’s attitude towards her sister hardens as she tells Diego that
she, Florencia, and Constanza made the same mistake a long time ago, but
Florencia’s the only one who didn’t suffer from it and expresses her jealousy
that Florencia’s life isso much happier than her own. Diego asks her if she
really wants him or if she just wants a normal, happy family like Florencia
has.
Victoria tells Carolina that Gladys made
her lose her baby as Gladys cries to Alex about Gonzalo. Alex tells her that he
wants to see both her and his father happy and leaves her alone. She calls
herself an idiot for sacrificing her whole life for Gonzalo because she loved
him. She tells herself that she’ll always love him. She wipes her tears away
and says, “It’s finished. It’s time that I enjoyed life and Gonzalo will never
divorce me because Don Gregorio will never allow it. I‘m not going to give that
jerk his freedom!” Carolina is shocked at Gladys’ cruelty and asks how her grandmother
died. Victoria tells Carolina that Don G burned her grandmother alive. Carolina
cries and says, “My God! And I’m in love with a Montero!”
Alex finds his father and Isabela and Isabela
tries to seduce Alex again, calling him her love. He tells her that he’s not
her love and she walks away. Alex tells his father that he made a big mistake
and that he spoke with Gladys and she became angry. Gonzlao is unconcerned and
tells him that it’s time he spoke to Gladys about the divorce and takes another
drink as Carolina says, “And to think that I’m in love with a Montero. The love
of my life belongs to such a horrible family.” Victoria tells her that she’s
sorry, but reminds her that she insisted on hearing the truth. Carolina tells
her that Alex can’t possibly be like all the others and that she’s sure he’s a
good person. Victoria tells her that they don’t know that for sure and asks her
to help her get her revenge against the Monteros by using Alex.

tells her that she can’t because she doesn’t want to hurt him. Victoria tells
her that nothing will happen to Alex if he really loves her. Florencia and
Constanza don’t want Lucrecia to reveal their secret and decide that the only
way to ensure that is to get her out of Diego’s house. Constanza tells her
sister that Ruben will take whatever reason he can find to beat her and will surely
do so if he found out their secret. They wonder what happened to Luisa and the
baby as Patricio asks Don G why he changed his mind about killing Carolina. Don
G gets a picture of his late wife, Teresa (whose picture looks remarkably like
Carolina) and tells Patricio that Carolina reminds him of his wife.
Christa gives Renato a foot rub when Gladys
shows up. She tells Christa to leave so that she can talk to him alone. Renato
tells Christa to leave and when she does, Gladys jumps on top of him, telling him
to make love to her, make her feel like a woman. Don G tells Macario that he
needs him to go to the Ibarra ranch and talk to Lucrecia for him and asks
Macario if he’s afraid. Macario assures him that he’s never afraid and Don G
tells him that he wants him to tell Lucrecia that she knows what he’s capable
of and if she doesn’t drop the charges against him, he’ll make sure that Diego
has an accident.
Diego tells Lucrecia that she’s not really
in love with him and that she just wants a normal life with a family and
someone to love her. He tells her that she’s only using him because she wants
to make her father angry, but she tells him that it’s not true and she loves.
He tells her he doesn’t love her and advises her to let him know when she’s
going to leave the ranch so that he can return home and grabs his bags. As he
is about to leave, Flora arrives and he tells her goodbye. When he leaves,
Lucrecia throws a mini-tantrum and tosses a few pillows around, asking herself
why Diego doesn’t want her as Flora watches and rolls her eyes.
Edelmiro delivers a letter to German for
Diego and asks him if he needs him to go to the Montero ranch for anything.
German sees right through him and laughs, telling him that he only wants to go
to the Montero ranch because he wants to see Rocio. Edelmiro tells him that he
heard that he likes Amalia as Macario asks Amalia to go to Los Encinos for him.
Amalia asks why he can’t go himself and he tells her that if he goes over
there, they’ll kill him and that it’s best that she go because it’s not
dangerous for her. Amalia says that she’ll go, but not alone and Macario tells
her to get Carolina to go with her. Amalia asks him if it’s just a trap to get
Lucrecia to come back so that Don G can beat her some more and Macario tells
her it’s not but that what Don G has planned could be something worse than
that.
Carolina tells Victoria that her
relationship with Alex is based on honesty and trust and she has to tell him
what happened. She says she can’t keep something like that from him and she
can’t help Victoria use him to get her revenge against the Monteros. Victoria
tells Carolina that she’s not sure of Alex and can’t be certain that he isn’t
just like his father, Gonzalo. Alex tells Gonzalo that he didn’t tell Gladys
that he wanted to divorce her because Gonzalo should be the one to tell her
what he plans to do. Alex tells him that he wants both of them to be happy and
that he told his mother to find someone else who will love her the way she
deserves to be loved and Gonzalo doubts that such a man exists and calls Gladys
a witch.
Gladys tells Renato that Gonzalo wants to
divorce her for Victoria. Victoria tells Carolina that she can’t tell Alex her
secret because it would complicate things more. Carolina tells her that if she
keeps it from him, it’ll be just like lying to him. Gladys tells Renato that
Victoria isn’t interested in Gonzalo, but Renato thinks otherwise until Gladys
reveals that Victoria has Diego Ibarra as a lover. She tells him that she saw
them in bed together. Diego doesn’t leave the ranch, but moves into another
part, telling German that he hopes Lucrecia will leave him alone. He tells
German that he has to find a way to make Lucrecia leave and move in with her
sister Florencia.
Florencia tells Constanza that their secret
could destroy her marriage because she’s never lied to Martin about anything
else and Constanza is sure that if the secret was ever revealed, her life
wouldn’t change at all because Ruben would simply beat her like he always does.
Florencia tells her that if their secret is revealed, her life would be changed
forever and begs Constanza to help her do something about Lucrecia. Constanza
tells her that no one is going to be able to make Lucrecia change her mind
about leaving Diego’s house as Amalia asks Macario if Don G is setting Lucrecia
up for something, but Macario tells her that Lucrecia doesn’t have to return
home and Amalia asks what message to give Lucrecia. He tells Amalia to tell her
that if she doesn’t drop the charges against him, Don G will kill Diego Ibarra.
Amalia is shocked and tells Macario that Don G is capable of killing someone.
He asks her how she’s so sure of that and pressures her about the secret she
knows about Don Gregorio. She tells him that she doesn’t know anything but
Macario doesn’t believe her. Amalia refuses to admit it and leaves to find
Carolina. Macario says, “One day, Amalia is going to tell me what she’s hiding
and one day it’ll be a powerful weapon against Don Gregorio.”
Victoria makes Carolina feel guilty by
telling her to go ahead and betray her by telling Alex who she is and why she’s
there. Carolina tells her that she loves her and that it hurts knowing what the
Monteros did to her and finally promises to help her, telling her she won’t say
anything to Alex. Victoria promises her that her happiness is important to her
and that if Alex proves himself to be a good person and if their relationship
is ever in danger because of her secret, she’ll tell Alex the truth herself and
mend their relationship because her happiness with Alex is more important to
her than her revenge.
Renato tells Gladys that Victoria is very
attractive. He tells her that she is attractive, too, but she’s also damaged
goods. Gladys cries and complains about Gonzalo and how he never touches her
and how every time he sees her, he insults her. She tells him that she’s human
and needs to feel loved and wanted and deserves to be treated like a woman.
Renato tells her that he likes to see her like this and that she reminds him of
the Gladys he knew back during her honeymoon when Gonzalo was too drunk to
touch her. He tells her he’s going to make love to her and pulls of her shirt.
They kiss as Christa listens outside and cries, thinking to herself, “Renato
doesn’t understand that I truly love him….”
Amalia finds Carolina crying. She’s upset
that someone made her friend cry, demanding that Carolina tell her who upset
her. “Was it Isabela?” Carolina tells her that they were tears of happiness and
Amalia tells her that if someone messes with her, she should come and tell her.
Carolina agrees to go with Amalia to Los Encinos and asks why they have to go
there. Diego meets Martin for drinks and tells him that he’s moved into his
office so that he doesn’t have to stay under the same roof as Lucrecia. Martin
asks how he can help Diego with his problem concerning the woman he loves.
Diego asks Martin if he knows about anything that happened at the Montero ranch
a long time ago and tells him he needs to know because it‘s important if he‘s
ever going to get her to marry him.
Don Gregorio looks for Carolina, but finds
Victoria instead, telling her that he needs to talk with Carolina. Amalia and
Carolina go to Los Encinos as Victoria tells Don G that Carolina’s not home.
Victoria asks why he needs to speak with Carolina and he asks if she thinks
he’s going to hurt Carolina for breaking up Isabela and Alex. He tells her that
he’s not going to do anything to her “right now”. “Right now?” she asks him. He
tells her that he just wants to get to know her better. She asks him how she
would know that it wasn’t just another one of his traps and he asks if she
thinks he’s capable of doing such a thing. She apologizes and he tells her to
tell Carolina that he wants to speak with her when she comes back. Before he
leaves, she asks why he insists on speaking with Carolina and he tells her that
she reminds her of his late wife--so much so that she could be Teresa’s own
daughter.
Don G tells her that Carolina has a
sweetness about her just as Teresa did and Victoria tells him that Carolina
isn’t the type of person who will let someone make fun of her and play with her
feelings. Don G laughs and tells her that people like her are always ready to
think the worst of people with money. He asks her how he’s supposed to believe
that she and Carolina aren’t after his money. She tells him that they know that
Alex has been disinherited and it doesn’t matter to them; she then tells him
that Carolina really does love his grandson and doesn’t need his money.
On Los Encinos, Carolina makes Amalia tell
her about the message they’re taking to Lucreica. Carolina is shocked to learn
of the threat on Diego’s life as Martin tells Diego how he came to be married
to Florencia. Diego tells Martin that they need to find someone form the
Montero ranch who’s been there long enough to remember Victoria and find out
what she’s hiding. He tells him that Maria used to work for the Monteros, but
won’t tell him anything because she’s loyal to Victoria. He’s sure that the
Monteros have something to do with the secret Victoria’s hiding from him.
Carolina and Amalia arrive at the main
house on Los Encinos. They don’t find Maria in the kitchen and Carolina tells
Amalia that Maria would have helped them. Amalia suggests that they go ahead
alone and sneak into the living room. Flora arrives looking for Maria, but
before she sees them, Carolina tells Amalia to go and find Lucrecia on her own
and tells her that she’ll stay with Flora because they know each other. Amalia
hides before Flora sees her. Flora asks Carolina what she’s doing there and
Carolina tells her that she was looking for Maria and couldn’t find her in the
kitchen so she came to look for her in the living room. She apologizes, but
Flora tells her she has nothing to be sorry about and tells her that she wanted
to speak with her. She offers her something to drink and Carolina goes to the
kitchen with her. Amalia comes out of hiding and goes to look for the room
Lucrecia is staying in.
In the kitchen, Flora asks Carolina what
she thinks about what’s going on between Diego and Victoria. Carolina tells her
that she likes Diego a lot and wants him for Victoria, but adds that there’s
something very important that Victoria has to do before that can happen. Don G
asks Victoria why she’s working at his ranch if she doesn’t need money and she
tells him that she has to have money in order to survive but isn’t trying to
get her hands on his fortune. He tells her that everyone wants more money than
they have and that most women are more concerned about money than they are about
the man they’re marrying and she tells him that perhaps Isabela is like that,
but Carolina isn’t.
Naked in Renato’s bed, Gladys tells him not
to forget that she’s a decent and married woman and Renato laughs at her
declaration, telling her that she doesn’t have to talk like that to him and
reminds her that he’s the one who slept with her during her honey moon and got
her pregnant. Renato tells Gladys that he’d like to continue their little
affair and she tells him that she’s still married and won’t be able to get away
to be with him so easily again. She tells him to get what he needs from
Christa. He tells her that Christa does what she can but that he needs her, as
well as Christa. Christa waits for Renato in the living room and gives him a
drink and brings him an ottoman so that he can prop his feet up. She asks him
if he enjoyed himself and he tells her that he did and that Gladys is a
beautiful, magnificent woman. Bothered, Christa tells him that she’s sure that
Gladys isn’t as skilled as she is, but he suggests she studies Gladys and learn
a few things from her. He tells her that Gladys wore him out and tells her to
give him a massage. Massaging his shoulders, she cries.
Victoria continues to assure Don G that
Carolina really loves Alex and he tells her they’ll have to wait and see how
long that love lasts. Then, he asks her why she looks at him the way that she
does, with so much hatred. He tells her that he never did anything to her, “Or
did I?” She tells him that she just has a hard gaze and he tells her that he’ll
believe her for now, but if he discovers that Carolina just wants his money,
he’s going to change his opinion of her. He leaves and Victoria closes the door
behind him. She seethes as she thinks about her plan to make Don G think that
his grandson is in love with his half-sister, even though it isn’t true. She
says, “Very soon, Don Gregorio will find out that I am Luisa Dominguez.”

After Don G leaves her room, Victoria
seethes and says that soon Don G will discover who she really is: Luisa
Dominguez. Gonzalo asks Don G what he wanted with Victoria and Don G tells him
that he doesn’t want him to behave with Victoria the way he treats all the
other women who work at the ranch and calls Gonzalo a drunk. Martin tells Diego
about Don Chema and that the old man has lived there for a long time and can
read cards. Gonzalo shows up at Carolina’s drunk and asks her what Don G wanted
to talk to her about. She tells him that he wanted to talk to her about Alex
and Carolina. She tries to get him to leave, but he closes the door and tells
her it’s time for them to be together.
Gladys thinks about sleeping with Renato
and then asks herself why Gonzalo never wanted her. Victoria changes tactics
and locks the door and proposes that they toast their first time together and
pours him a glass of brandy, thinking to herself, “I hope you die of alcohol
poisoning…”. Victoria gives Gonzalo more alcohol and they salute to the fact
that he will now be free of Gladys so that they can finally be together. Amalia
goes looking for Lucrecia, but finds German’s room instead. She finds his jeans
on the floor just as he walks in naked. They scream and Flora and Carolina hear
them downstairs. German asks her why she’s there and she tells him. He takes
his pants from her and starts to put them on. He tells her to let him get
dressed and he’ll take her to see Lucrecia. Amalia smiles at him and tells him
he’s got a nice body just as Flora and Carolina walk in, with German zipping up
his pants.
Don G asks Macario what happened with
Lucrecia and tells him that if she doesn’t do what he told her to do, he’ll
have Diego killed. Amalia tells Flora that she and Carolina didn’t want to
cause more problems between the two ranches. Flora comments that Carolina
doesn’t have to sneak onto the ranch like some kind of delinquent because she
knows she’s always welcome there. She tells Amalia to go to the kitchen and
meet Lucrecia there to deliver her message. On her way out, Amalia pauses to
gaze back at German; they share a smile and when she leaves, Flora comments
that they already have to deal with Lucrecia’s craziness and hopes they don’t
have to deal with Amalia as well. German says nothing.
Amalia and Carolina meet Flora and Lucrecia
in the kitchen and Amalia tells them that Don G is threatening to kill Diego if
she doesn’t drop the charges against him. In his office, Diego tells German that
he got some info from Martin that could be important as German produces
blankets and a pillow so that Diego can sleep in the office. He tells Diego
about the letter that was delivered to him from someone named Claudio. Diego
doesn’t want to be reminded of his past, but tells German that someone will
have to go and pick up Claudio and bring him to Los Encinos because he has
nowhere else to go, but wants German to be sure to tell Claudio not to tell
anyone that he was once in jail. German is surprised that Diego still refuses
to tell Victoria about his past, but Diego tells him that he doesn’t want to
bring his past into his present and that it’s best if she doesn’t know about it
yet.
Gonzalo passes out on Victoria’s bed and
she pulls out a knife and holds it over him, but can’t bring herself to kill
him, saying that she’s not a murderer and that she hates him. She says that
there are many ways to die, but she wants Gonzalo to see him suffer more than
she wants to see him dead. Ruben attends to Don G and Don G tells him he wants
to know everything about Diego’s past and to tell Macario to bring him
Lucrecia’s message as soon as he gets it. Macario tells Miguel that he is
worried because Amalia hasn’t returned yet and wonders if Diego’s capable of
hurting her or Carolina. Miguel asks Macario which of the two he likes the most
and Macario tells him he likes both and that he wants one for his wife and the
other as his lover. Miguel asks how he expects to accomplish that and Macario
tells him not to worry about it and that one day when they get the Montero
ranch and Ibarra’s ranch, he’ll have both Carolina and Amalia to himself.
Amalia and Carolina leave the Ibarra ranch
and Flora confronts Lucrecia about the situation she’s put Diego in and
Lucrecia wishes she knew how and when Don G would try to kill Diego. Flora
wonders if Amalia knew something else that she didn’t want to tell them. Diego
tells German that he hopes that Claudio really has changed and when German asks
if it’s a good idea to let Claudio live there, Diego tells him that when they
were younger, promised to always protect Claudio and refuses to break his
promise. German tells him that he can’t protect Claudio from himself, just as
no one can protect Lucrecia from herself. Diego asks if German really thinks
Lucrecia is capable of trying to stay there indefinitely and German believes
so, telling him that Lucrecia is set on trapping him.
Diego tells him that that will never happen
as Lucrecia tells Flora that they have to find Diego and tell him what
happened. Flora tells her that she has to do what her father wants her to do
and Diego tells German that if she isn’t gone in two days, he’s going to have
to have a serious talk with her. He thinks about how jealous Victoria was the
other day and tells German that he has no doubt that Victoria loves him.
Victoria finds Edelmiro and Rocio in the kitchen together and ask for their
help in getting Gonzalo out of her room because he‘s drunk and sleeping in her
bedroom. They are shocked.
Carolina and Amalia find Gonzalo in
Victoria’s bed, snoring. Flora tells Lucrecia that it’s best if she does what
her father asked her to do and leave the ranch. Lucrecia asks her if she’ll
give her the name of the woman Diego’s in love with if she promises to leave
the ranch. She begs her, but Flora refuses to tell her. Victoria, Edelmiro, and
Rocio arrive to carry Gonzalo out of the room and Victoria assures all,
including Carolina and Amalia, that nothing happened between them. Carolina and
Amalia find Macario and Amalia tells him that Lucrecia knows what Don G is
capable of and they all hope that Lucrecia gives them a response by tomorrow.
Amalia comments that it isn’t right that Diego’s life is in danger.
Flora continues to refuse to tell Lucrecia
the other woman’s name and tells her that if she doesn’t do what her father
ordered her to do, then she and German will have to find a way to protect Diego
because even though Lucrecia claims to love him, she doesn’t love him enough to
keep him from being hurt. She leaves Lucrecia alone. Carolina asks Amalia if
Don G is capable of killing someone but Amalia doesn’t answer her. Carolina
decides to leave, but Amalia stops her, reminding her that Gonzalo might still
be in her room. Amalia explains to Macario that Gonzalo was drunk and passed
out in Victoria’s bed. Victoria, Edelmiro, and Rocio take Gonzalo to the main
house and Victoria thanks Edelmiro and he leaves the ranch. Victoria realizes
that she’s found the perfect way to keep Gonzalo away from her: keep him drunk.
Macario offers to walk Carolina home, tells
Amalia to wait for him and she tells him that she’s going to prepare herself
for their night together. Macario leaves with Carolina as Rocio warns Victoria
that people will talk about Gonzalo being in her room and sleeping in her bed.
Gladys is ready to leave and Renato kisses her, telling her that he’ll go to
see Diego tomorrow and find out what he can because now they know that he’s
Victoria’s accomplice. Christa witnesses their interaction. Renato gets a phone
call and Christa confronts Gladys for sleeping with Renato and tells her that
she’s really in love with him. Gladys isn’t impressed when she thinks Christa’s
threatening and thinks Christa’s gone crazy and wonders how she could possibly
love Renato when all he does is beat her. Christa insists that her feelings for
him are true and begs Gladys not to forget that the only man she really loves
is her husband, Gonzalo.
Macario walks Carolina home and she tries
to get rid of him, but he takes the opportunity to tell her that he loves her
and wants her to be his wife. Edelmiro goes to see Diego and Diego finds out
that Gonzalo came to Victoria’s room drunk and slept in her bed. Diego is
enraged and asks him what happened. Edelmiro is frightened and tries to leave,
but Diego makes him stay, demanding to know what happened. Edelmiro tells him
that Victoria came to ask him and Rocio to help her get him out of her room,
saying that Gonzalo arrived there drunk and passed out on her bed and he’s sure
nothing else happened between them. Diego asks him what the hell Gonzalo was
doing in “…el cuarto de mi mujer!”
Gladys arrives home and finds Gonzalo drunk
and sleeping in the living room. She says out loud that she’s not going to be
faithful to Gonzalo anymore. Constanza walks into the room and asks her to
repeat what she said. Gladys looks like a deer caught in the headlights as
Renato plots and schemes with Christa. Her jealousy of Gladys makes Renato lose
his patience with her and he slaps her. She yells at him, telling him that Gladys
likes him, but that she’s crazy in love with her husband. She manages to anger
him even more and he picks up an apple, but stops himself from throwing it
while she cowers on the couch in fear.
Gladys realizes that Constanza didn’t hear
what she said and covers, saying that she was just murmuring about Gonzalo
because it upsets her every time she sees him drunk as Edelmiro tries to calm
Diego down. Edelmiro assures Diego that Victoria loves him and Diego tells him
to get out. “Get out! I want to be alone!” He can’t believe what’s happening
and says to himself, “It’s impossible. Victoria loves me. There’s no way that
she could be with Gonzalo Montero.”
Victoria, disgusted, changes the sheets on
her bed. Then, she daydreams about kissing Diego as Amalia decides she’s going
to dress up like a spy for Macario. While she picks out her disguise, Macario
continues to try to convince Carolina to marry him. She tells him that he’s her
best friend’s boyfriend and she’s with Alex and orders him to leave her alone.
She tries to walk past him, but he picks her up and brings her back to face
him. He tells her he’s not going to let her leave until they clear a few things
up and tells her that Amalia isn’t going to be a problem for them because it’s
going to be their little secret. He tells her that she’s in his heart and
informs her that he’s used to waiting however long it takes to get what he
wants. He tells her that she will not have sex with Alex and she tells him that
he can’t tell her what she can and can’t do.
Isabela sneaks into Alex’s room and climbs
into bed with him, mauling him with her hands as he begs her to leave. Carolina
stands her ground and tells Macario that it’s none of his business what she
does with Alex. Alex continues to refuse her, telling her that he doesn’t like
women like her. Isabela continues to kiss and grope Alex. She climbs on top of
him and he seems to be losing his battle against her seduction.

Episode Twenty-Eight
Isabela continues her assault on Alex and
climbs on top of him. Carolina manages to get away from Macario, swearing that
she’ll never be with him, while Macario swears that she will one day be his
wife.
Carolina
complains to Victoria about Macario and Victoria tells her she should keep her
distance from him and promises to do something about him because she won’t let
anyone ruin her relationship with Alex. Juan, one of the ranch employees,
carries Gonzalo to his bedroom and leaves him there with Gladys and she
attempts to take advantage of his drunken state and seduce him but Gonzalo,
half-asleep, calls her Victoria. Alex finally manages to free himself from
Isabela and make her leave his bedroom. She leaves angrily, insulting him.
Macario goes home and looks around for
Amalia. She shows up, dressed like a spy and carrying a gun. She makes him get
undressed and they continue their game, but she falters when she thinks about
when she found German naked in his bedroom. Macario asks her what’s wrong and
she tells him nothing and they hop into bed together. Gladys watches Gonzalo
sleep, gets angry with him, then hits him with a pillow. Waking up, Gonzalo
realizes he drunk too much the night before but remembers someone kissing him
and thinks it was Victoria (it was actually Gladys).
Diego goes to see Victoria.
“Diego….What are you doing here again?”
“I want to know what the hell Gonzalo
Montero was doing in your bed.”
“How did you find out? Ah, of course,
Edelmiro told you.”
“Is it or isn’t it true that Gonzalo slept
in your bed last night?”
She tells him that’s her business.
He tells her, “It’s my business, too,
because I love you.”
She tells him that it’s best he forgets
her.
“How am I supposed to forget you? Can‘t you
see I‘m dying of jealousy, Victoria? Please, tell me if there‘s something going
on between you and Gonzalo Montero. Tell me.”
Gonzalo has coffee with Macario and tells
him that he’s thinking of putting an end to his alcoholism. He says that he
knows he can’t keep on drinking because he might lose Victoria. He tells him
that last night was his first night with Victoria and raves to Macario about
it, telling him that he remembered her kissing him and taking of his shirt, but
doesn’t remember anything more.
“Please, Diego. It’s best that you leave…”
Victoria tells Diego.
Diego
tells her that he’d rather die than live with the knowledge that she has
feelings for another man. She tells him that she’s not the woman for him and doesn’t
want to be responsible for someone finding him at the Montero ranch.
“I’ve told you many times, forget me.”
“Then, you do feel something for Gonzalo?”
Victoria lies to him, saying, “Yes, Diego,
I feel something for Gonzalo Montero.”
Gladys remembers the night before when she
tried to take advantage of a drunken Gonzalo and vows never to let Victoria
take him away from her, even though she knows he doesn’t want her. Miguel
overhears the conversation between Macario and Gonzalo and Gonzalo warns him
not to tell anyone that Victoria is his lover.
Diego is shocked to hear Victoria say that
she feels something for Gonzalo as she thinks of the profound hatred she feels
for him (Gonzalo).
“Forgive me, Diego, but I warned you not to
fall in love with me.”
He cries, telling her that he couldn’t
control his feelings and she tries to hold back her own tears.
“I know,” she says, “I know very well.”
“Then why the hell did you tell me that you
loved me?”
Alex goes to see Carolina and sneaks up
behind her, scaring her. She’s happy to see him, but wonders how he’ll react
when he discovers what his father did to Victoria. Alex asks her if she’s okay
and she tells him that she’s afraid of his grandfather. He tells her that Don G
isn’t the one who decides who he’s going to be with and tells her again that
he’s going to marry her, no matter what Don G has to say about.
“I told you that I loved you because it was
the truth,” Victoria tells Diego.
Upset and still crying, Diego says, “I
don’t understand. If you love me, what does that jerk mean to you?”
“It’s useless to ask me that, Diego…It’s
best that you forget about me.”
“But you’re saying that you love me…” He
doesn’t understand what’s going on. “What’s wrong with you?! What do you feel
for him?!”
“That’s enough! I‘m not going to say
anything else about it.” She reminds him that she warned him that he would be
disillusioned when he found out what she’s really like, “And now you see.” She
goes to the door, opens it and tells him to please leave her life for ever.
“Look me in the face, Victoria. Swear to me
that you love me.”
She refuses, telling him that she’ll only
hurt him.
“Then, you were just playing with me,
right?”
“I never played with you, Diego, but
please, understand that we can’t be together.”
“But, why? The more I think about it, the
less I understand it. I don’t know how many times I’ve told you that it doesn’t
matter to me what your secret is.” He tells her that he loves her and that it
doesn’t matter what brought her to the ranch and tells her that he’ll help her.
“Why can’t we be together?”
She tells him not to ask her anymore
questions because she doesn’t have anything else to say to him. She tells him
to get out of her life. Crying, she tells him, “Go be with Lucrecia. She
deserves you, not me.”
“But I love you, not her.”
“Try to fall in love with Lucrecia. Marry
her and forget about me.”
Lucrecia doesn’t believe that Flora,
German, and Maria don’t know where Diego is. Flora asks why she needs to know
if she going to leave the ranch in order to keep him from being harmed. She
tells Flora that she just wants to tell him she’s leaving and assures them that
she’s going to be back to see him every day. She vows that she won’t let her
father ruin her life again and that she won’t let Diego’s life be put in
danger, either. “I love Diego and I’m going to fight for his love.”
Diego tells Victoria, “Don’t tell me to
marry Lucrecia because I don’t love her! I love you!”
She tells
him, “I want to see you happy, Diego, but you’ll never be happy at my side. You
have to forget me.”
He tells
her that he’s still not going to marry Lucrecia because he will never marry
someone he doesn’t love. She tells him to learn to love her or find another
woman to love because, “I can’t be the one. Our love doesn‘t have a future. You
have to forget me.”
“All right, but I can never forget you,
Victoria. If this is the way you want things, this is the way it’s going to be.
I’m not going to beg you any more.” He grabs his hat and leaves.
Alone, she
cries, “I love you, Diego, but I can’t tell you that the only thing I feel for
Gonzalo is a profound hatred. My heart prefers revenge to your love.”
Gonzalo, Macario, and Miguel find Diego on
Montero land as Alex kisses Carolina and tells her that he’s going to the
office. He tells her that it doesn’t matter what happens with his grandfather
because he loves her and will marry her. He leaves and Carolina has a run-in
with Isabela who tells her that Don G chose her for Alex’s wife and that she
won’t change his mind about her. Carolina tells her that Don G was the one who
asked to speak with her, not the other way around.
Miguel wants Macario to kill Diego. Diego
glares at Gonzalo, then punches him. Macario pulls a gun on Diego as Carolina
meets Don G in the living room. He tells her he has something he wants her to
see and shows her a picture of his late wife, asking her if she thinks she
looks like her. Macario, Miguel, and Gonzalo are happy to have Diego in their
hands and Miguel insists he be killed. Diego tells Macario to go ahead and do
it, then calls him a coward. Carolina looks at the photo and tells Don G that
some people say that everyone has a double and smiles at him as he thinks how
much she looks like Teresa. Carolina asks him why he wanted to talk to her and
asks if it’s because he wants to throw her and her mother off of the ranch. He
tells her no and that he only wants an opportunity to find out if she’s the
right person for Alex. She tells him that Alex is the only one who can decide
that. Carolina comments that his opinion doesn’t matter to her because she
knows what a cruel person he is. Don G is shocked and wants to know what she’s
talking about. She thinks about what her mother went through and tells him that
she’s talking about all the pain he’s caused other people in the past.
Diego tries to provoke Macario, calling him
a coward, but Macario still doesn’t pull the trigger. Miguel insists that
Macario kill Diego, but Macario tells him that he will wait for Don G’s
authorization. Gonzalo decides that Diego shouldn’t be killed and sees an
opportunity to make his sister happy by offering Diego to spare his life in
exchange for marrying Lucrecia. Miguel objects, telling him that Don G would
never accept it and Gonzalo tells him to shut up. He then tells Diego that
Lucrecia adores him and he only wants to see his sister happy. Macario
continues to hold the pistol to the back of Diego’s head.
Lucrecia finds Edelmiro working and tries
to get him to tell her where Diego is. He stands his ground and German comes
over to tell her to leave him alone, telling her that it’s useless to ask the
workers where Diego is because they’re all loyal to him. Diego tells Gonzalo
that he won’t marry Lucrecia because he doesn’t love her and Gonzalo tells him
that it doesn’t matter because Lucrecia adores him. Miguel orders Macario to
kill Diego as Victoria sees them. She screams and she and Amalia come running
up to them. She pushes Diego out of the way and they, along with Gonzalo, fall
to the ground just as the pistol goes off. Back at the house, everyone hears
the gunshot and they wonder what’s going on.
Victoria helps Diego up and asks if he’s
hurt. Neither he or Gonzalo are hurt and Amalia yells at Macario as Carolina
arrives, followed by Don G and several other men. Don G asks Diego what he’s
doing on his land and Diego tells him that it’s only fitting that he show up on
his land whenever he wants to just like Don G shows up at Los Encinos whenever
he wants to. Gladys and Isabela learn from Rocio what happened. Macario tells
Don G that he didn’t kill Diego because he was worried that Diego had informed
his men to kill Lucrecia if he didn’t return. Don G tells him he did the right
thing.
Lucrecia tells German that she just wants
to talk to Diego before she leaves and doesn’t want him to get hurt as Miguel
tells Don G that now is their chance to take care of Diego once and for all.
Gonzalo announces that the women shouldn’t be around to see this and insists
that they go with him, including Amalia whom he calls a savage animal. He grabs
Amalia’s arm and pulls her long with them. Diego watches them leave and isn’t
happy that Victoria left with Gonzalo. When Rocio leaves, Isabela tells Gladys
that Alex threw her out of his bed the night before and Gladys vows not to let
Carolina marry Alex.
Don G doesn’t let Macario kill Diego and
tells him to get off his land and never to return. Diego tells him that he
doesn’t want anything to do with Lucrecia, that she’s at his ranch voluntarily
and he won’t let her be abused by a savage like him (Don G). Gonzalo tells
Carolina and Victoria not to worry because he’s not going to let anything
happen to them. He tells them that he doesn’t think Don G will do anything to
Diego, but can’t be sure because everyone knows what Don G is capable of.
Victoria agrees that Don G is capable of anything, even burning him alive.
Gonzalo is surprised at her comment.
At the office, Gerardo and Alex talk about
their grandfather and Alex thinks that Don G might be setting up some kind of
trap for Carolina. Miguel follows Don G back to the main house and asks him why
he didn’t take the chance to kill Diego and Don G tells him that he didn’t want
people to talk and view him as a murderer and Diego as his victim. Miguel
reminds him that he’s never cared what people said about him at the ranch. Don
G tells him that times change and calls him a poor idiot because he doesn’t
understand. Don G still plans to get rid of Diego by making him out to be a
killer to the police sot that they can put him in jail forever.
Macario walks Diego off the Montero ranch
with the help of his pistol and warns him against ever coming back. Diego calls
him a coward for not pulling the trigger and tells him that he’s just a little
servant who does whatever Don G tells him to do. When Diego goes home, Macario
looks at Los Encinos and vows that one day it’ll be his. Diego tells his aunt
that Victoria has feelings for Gonzalo. “But he’s a married man,” Flora says.
Diego says, “Apparently, that means nothing to her.”
Carolina tells Amalia that she thinks her
mother and Diego must have had a fight because they were looking at each other
strangely. She tells her that for the first time in her life, her mother looked
fragile and hurt and looked like she was about to cry. Edelmiro tells Lucrecia
that he’s very busy and can’t help her and doesn’t know anything and tells her
to go find German and ask him where Diego is. Diego overhears Lucrecia telling
Edelmiro how much she loves him. She tells Edelmiro that she just needs to find
out where he is so that she can tell him that her father wants to kill him. She
declares that she’s going to leave the ranch because she loves him so much that
she would prefer to leave rather than see him hurt.
She turns around to see Diego. He asks her
if what she said was true and she says, “Yes. I don’t want to be separated from
you, but I love you so much that I’d die if something happened to you.”
Edelmiro watches in shock as Diego walks
over and kisses Lucrecia.

Episode Twenty-Nine
Diego kisses Lucrecia following her little
declaration to Edelmiro. When the kiss ends, Lucrecia is thrilled, telling
Diego that he’s starting to want her. Diego begs for her forgiveness and
insists otherwise, telling her that he doesn’t want to lead her on and that the
kiss wasn’t because he loves her, it was because of what she said and what she
promised to do. Lucrecia tells him that he’s everything to her and insists that
it was the most passionate kiss she’s ever received in her life and Diego
continues to try to convince her that it meant nothing. He tells her that he
could never love her the way that she loves him and she gets irritated, “I
know. I know. Because you love someone else.”
A phone call between Rocio and Alex assures
Alex that Carolina is fine and Rocio tells him what happened earlier with Diego
Ibarra. Alex tells Gerardo that Carolina is fine, but he knows they have to be
careful because Isabela is capable of trying anything to break him and Carolina
up. Patricio arrives at Don G’s office and asks one of the employees for some
documents Don G told him to pick up. Since she’s busy, he offers to get them
himself if she tells him where to look while she finishes her work. She can’t
find the documents and he offers again to look for them himself, but she tells
him that Don G doesn’t like people messing with his things. He convinces her
and she leaves the room. He finds a key to the desk and opens it, finding Don
G’s will. After reading it, he learns that Alex will manage everything and
Ruben is the executor of the will. He vows that all of that will change.
Gonzalo finds Victoria alone in the kitchen
and thanks her for saving his life. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about,
but quickly realizes that Gonzalo was so drunk the night before that he thinks
they actually had sex. He promises that next time he won’t drink so much so
that he can remember everything. Rocio arrives and Gonzalo leaves.
Isabela plots with Gladys, telling her that
she has to set a trap for Carolina and make her believe that Alex betrayed her
so that she can get Alex for herself. Gladys reveals to Isabela that last night
she learned that Gonzalo had sex with Victoria. She tells Isabela that she
knows Victoria isn’t interested in Gonzalo but still doesn’t want Gonzalo to
know that she is in love with her. Christa tries to convince Renato that Gladys
will betray him, telling him that she told her that she’s in love with Gonzalo.
Victoria tells Rocio that Edelmiro told
Diego about what happened with Gonzalo. Lucrecia tells Diego not to say
anything else and that in time, he’ll come to love her. He tells her he’s sorry
and that it was a mistake and he doesn’t want to confuse her, and that he was
just overcome with gratitude to her. He takes her hand and walks her back to
the main house so that she can get her things and he can take her to her
sister’s home. Maria watches them leave and wonders what’s going to happen
next. Edelmiro tries to cover for his boss. Rocio can’t believe that Edelmiro
is a gossip as he tells Maria that Diego thinks Victoria and Gonzalo are
involved with each other romantically. Victoria tells Rocio that what Edelmiro
did her a favor because now Diego won’t want anything to do with her, and that
it‘s for the best.
Gonzalo floats in the swimming pool as
Gladys and Isabela watch him. Isabela tells her that her husband’s body is very
well maintained for his age as Gladys drools over the sight. Gladys vows not to
let Gonzalo go because she’s the only man she’s ever loved. Rocio tells
Victoria that she’s too complicated for her to understand and tells her that
Diego loves her and risked his life every time he came to the Montero ranch to
see her. Rocio tells her that she’ll be the one Gladys blames if word gets out
that Gonzalo was in her bed.
Gladys tells Isabela she wants to talk to
her later and leaves. Gonzalo warns Isabela about Gladys as Isabela refuses to
stop chasing Alex. Alex coaches his cousin Gerardo on the computer. Bianca
arrives and asks them if they want to go grab something to eat. Alex tells her
that he’s meeting Carolina and she tells him that she’s happy for him. Gerardo
has too much work to do to go with her and she informs him that she’s a genius
with numbers and offers to help him with his work. She tells him that she
studied business administration and Gerardo wonders why she isn’t working at
Montero Enterprises and she tells him that her father would never accept it and
would kill her first.
Ruben learns from Constanza what happened
with Diego Ibarra and he wishes Gerardo had been home to help them throw Diego
off the ranch because it would have earned him points with his grandfather. He
tells Constanza that Gerardo has a lot to learn and wishes he’d been the one to
point the pistol at Diego rather than Macario. Constanza doesn’t agree. Bianca
helps Gerardo with his work and they are surprised that Ruben let her go to
university and study business. Bianca tells them it’s not the way it looks,
because Ruben only wanted her to go to college so that it could make her the
perfect wife. Alex refuses to let Ruben make his cousin marry someone she
doesn’t love. Bianca is pleased to hear this, but prefers not to think about it
until the problem presents itself. Gerardo asks her what she will do if she
falls in love with someone whom her father doesn’t approve of and she doesn’t
have an answer for him.
Claudio is thrilled to be released from
prison and German is just as happy to see him. They make themselves look like
idiots outside of the prison. They calm down and German tells Claudio that
Diego will let him live with him under one condition: he has to promise to stay
out of trouble. Claudio assures him that he doesn’t want to be locked up again
and wants to be a better person with their help. German tells him that he will
have their help, but tells him that his future depends only on himself. Claudio
is in agreement as Bianca tells her cousin and brother that the day she falls
in love will be the day that she’ll stand up to her father and not let him run
her life. Alex tells her she can always count on his support and gives her a
hug while Gerardo tells her not to talk like that. He tells her that he doesn’t
want to see their father beat her like Don G beat Lucrecia. Bianca tells him
that she loves her mother, but doesn’t want to be like her: she wants to be
like her Aunt Florencia.
Lucrecia and Diego go to Florencia and
Martin’s home and Lucrecia tells them that she’ll stay there because she doesn’t
want something to happen to Diego, but doesn‘t look very happy about it. Diego
tells them that Don G threatened to kill him if Lucrecia doesn’t drop the
charges against him. Florencia warns him to be careful because Don G is very
capable of killing someone. Carolina plays with one of the horses and Don G
arrives and watches her, thinking to himself, “She’s enchanting. As sweet as my
beloved Teresa.” A moment later, Carolina turns and sees him and he gives her a
smile. Carolina tells the horse that she’ll see him later, but Don G tells her
not to leave on his account. He suggests they talk while she works and comments
that she seems to like horses. She tells him she thinks horses are the most
noble of animals and he remarks that it isn’t obvious whether they obey because
they want to or because they’re afraid not to. She tells him that he (Don G)
likes to make people afraid of him, including members of his own family. “You
prefer that your family fear you, rather than love you.”
Diego tells Martin and Florencia that he
agrees with them and doesn’t want Lucrecia to drop the charges because he’s not
afraid of Don G. Florencia complains about her father, saying that there must
be some way to stop him because he can’t be invincible. Don G tells Carolina
that she’s very young and there are things that she still doesn’t understand,
also telling her to imagine what the ranch would be like without his authority.
Carolina agrees with him when he comments that they have different ways of
viewing things. Don G tells her that he does what he has to do to make his
business prosper and to have a united family. Surprised, Carolina asks him if
he really thinks his family is united. Don G shrugs and says he doesn’t know,
but it appears that way. He tells her that he likes the way that she thinks and
she tells him that respecting the opinions of other people is a good thing. He
tells her again that she reminds him of his wife, “That’s the way my wife used
to think, the same as you.” She asks if his wife died a long time ago and he
tells her it was many years ago when his children were young. She asks how his
wife died, thinking to herself that he might have killed her. When he doesn’t
answer, she asks, “Why won’t you answer me? Was she sick?” He tells her that
his wife died of sadness when she found out he had a child with another woman.
Patricio tells Macario and Miguel that Don
G has assigned Ruben the position as executor of his will. They can’t believe
it, but Patricio tells them that he read the will himself. Miguel gets angry as
Don G tells Carolina that he regrets having an affair, but knows that there’s
nothing he can do to bring his wife back. They sit down at a picnic table and
Carolina wonders to herself Don G sleeps at night, knowing how he burned a
woman alive in her own home, but doesn’t say it out loud. Rocio is angry at
Edelmiro for telling Diego about Gonzalo being in Victoria’s bed and questions
his intelligence. Victoria assures Rocio that he did her a favor and to leave
it alone. Rocio tells her that she’s crazy.
Gladys comes to the kitchen and tells Rocio
to stop gossiping and get back to work and tells Victoria she wants to speak to
her alone. When she leaves, Rocio is worried for her but Victoria isn’t. Florencia
and Martin thank Diego and Lucrecia stops him from leaving. Florencia and
Martin leave them alone and Diego tries to convince her that what happened
earlier didn’t mean anything and tells her to relax and not think of him. She
tells him it’s impossible to do what he asks and not think of him and that
she’s going to show up on his doorstep as often as she can to see him. He tells
her to leave him alone because he needs to concentrate on his ranch and nothing
else. She thinks he wants time to himself so that he can think about the other
woman, the one he’s in love with. She kisses him, but he ends it, asking her
what it’ll take to make her understand. She reminds him that he stole a kiss
from her and she’s merely returning the favor.
“Please, Lucrecia. I could never love you.
Even if I wasn’t in love with another woman, I couldn’t love you.” She asks him
why and he tells her that they are too different and that she’s a complicated,
sophisticated woman. He ends his explanation abruptly and walks out. She vows
that she won’t let him “escape” their love and realizes that she needs to know
now more than ever the identity of the woman he loves.
Victoria and Gladys meet alone and Gladys
confronts her, accusing her of sleeping with Gonzalo. Victoria tells her that
she doesn’t want Gonzalo and that he showed up at her place drunk and barely
conscious and she got him even drunker so that he wouldn’t touch her and that
Gonzalo must have simply imagined or dreamed that something more happened.
Gladys wonders what Diego will say about the incident and Victoria tells her
that she has her permission to tell Diego whenever she wants to. Gladys is
shocked that Victoria doesn’t care if she tells Diego.
Claudio and German arrive at Los Encinos
and Diego is happy to see his old friend. Diego tells him that he doesn’t want
Claudio to create any problems and he promises not to give him any problems and
not to tell anyone about Diego’s past. The doorbell rings and Renato arrives to
see Diego. He tells Diego that he’s from Europe and wants to settle down in
Florida, and wants to buy his ranch. Diego is about to tell him no, then
decides not to, offering Renato a seat and telling him that it‘s best that he
hears what he‘s offering. German takes him aside and asks him if he’s really
thinking about selling the ranch. Diego tells him that he’d like to be as far
away form Victoria as possible: “A lo mejor si, German. Quiero estar lo mas
lejos possible de Victoria.”
Christa shows up at the Montero ranch to
see her sister and sees Gonzalo poor his drink all over his body. She wonders
if Gonzalo is drunk or not, because she can’t tell. She asks Isabela if Gladys
has finally gotten Gonzalo into bed and Isabela laughs and tells her that
Gladys is dying because he still hates her. Christa tells her sister that
Gladys came over yesterday and begged Renato to have sex with her. Victoria
tells Gladys that Diego knows what happened the other night. Gladys wonders how
anything she says could be true and tells Victoria that she touched and kissed
Gonzalo the night before, and when she tried to undress him, he said Victoria’s
name. Victoria is surprised and amused. Desperate, Gladys asks Victoria for a
favor: help her get Gonzalo to make love to her (Gladys) by making him think
that he’s making love to her (Victoria).
Gladys tells her that if she accepts, she
can keep Gonzalo away from her for a long time by making him think he’s being
intimate with her when in actuality, he’s with Gladys. Gladys asks her if she
wants Gonzalo or not and Victoria tells her that Gonzalo repulses her. German
is worried that Diego wants to give up all his dreams and sell his ranch all
because of a woman. Diego tells him that he’s not going to sell the ranch, but
just wants to play along to see whether or not Renato is another one of Don G’s
spies. German leaves to go show Claudio to his room and explain what his job at
the ranch will be.
Diego makes nice with Renato and asks him
how he came to believe that his ranch was for sale. Renato feeds him a lie and
Diego wonders how his ranch, which has never been put up for sale, would have
so many people interested in buying it. Isabela and Christa continue to gossip
as Gonzalo thinks about Victoria in the background. Isabela doesn’t understand
why Christa loves Renato so much as Christa tells her that she doesn’t want
Renato and Gladys to be together. Christa reminds her that she’s known Renato
ever since she was sixteen years old and that he was her only friend and her
only family. Isabela reminds her that Renato beats her, tortures her,
humiliates her, and makes her sleep with other man. Christa tells her that she
doesn’t have a problem with all that and explains that it’s just the way their
relationship is. She then makes Isabela laugh when she expresses her fear that
Renato might fall in love with Gladys. “Don’t be an idiot. Renato will never
fall in love with Gladys. He loves no one but himself.”
Renato continues to try to buy Diego’s
lands and when Diego mentions the Monteros, he pretends not to know who they
are. Diego doesn’t know whether to believe him or not, but resolves to discover
the truth. Don G asks Carolina why he gets the feeling that she’s on her guard
against him and tells her that he never did anything to her, “Or did I?” She
tells him that maybe she just dislikes the way he keeps trying to run Alex’s
life. He reminds her that Alex is his favorite grandchild and he has to be sure
of her if he’s going to make him his heir. She says, “Then don’t leave him
anything. Your fortune isn’t important to him.” He asks if she’s interested in
his fortune and she assures him that she and her mother don’t care about his
money and that her mother has other motives for being at his ranch. He asks,
“What motives?”

Episode Thirty
Carolina tells Don G that she doesn’t want
his fortune and that her mother had other motives for coming to work on his
ranch. He asks her what her mother’s motives are as Gladys tries to get
Victoria to help her seduce Gonzalo by switching places with her. Christa tells
Isabela that she doesn’t care that Renato is a narcissist who only loves
himself because she loves him. Isabela thinks she is crazy as Christa warns
that Gladys is more dangerous than they thought she was. Isabela reminds her
that they all have to obey Renato’s orders and tells her that Don G is with
Carolina. Christa is shocked that he went to see Carolina and promises to help
Isabela get Alex back.
Carolina tells Don G that her mother’s
motive for coming there was because she wanted to work on a prosperous ranch
and find out how she failed in managing her own ranch. He learns that she and
her mother had a ranch that they lost and comments that it explains why she and
her mother don’t seem like servants. Gladys tells Victoria not to play innocent
because she knows that she wants Carolina to marry Alex so that she can get the
Montero fortune. Victoria tells her that Carolina and Alex are in love and she
won’t allow anyone to separate them. She turns to leave, but Gladys stops her,
asking her if she’s going to help her get Gonzalo. Victoria remembers the day
that Gladys kicked her repeatedly in the stomach so that she would lose her
baby and asks Gladys why she should help her. Gladys tells her that she should
help her because she’s asking her as a woman in love and begs her. Victoria
tells her that she’ll think about it.
Isabela tells Christa that she wants to
find a way to make Alex think that Carolina is with someone else and Christa
tells her that they’ll get Renato to help them. Macario and Miguel learn from
Patricio that Ruben is the executor of Don G’s estate. They think that Ruben
might be trying to manipulate Don G and wants to make Gerardo Don G’s heir.
Miguel tells Patricio that Gerardo is good for nothing and all he cares about
is gambling. Patricio isn’t so sure, telling them that he saw the work that
Gerardo did at the office and it wasn’t bad. Miguel isn’t convinced that
Gerardo did the work himself and tells them that perhaps Ruben did it for him
so that he could earn points with Don G.
At the office, Gerardo praises Bianca’s
work but she tells him that he’s just exaggerating. He tells her that what she
did in an hour would have taken him days to complete and that she was born for
this kind of work. Bianca tells him that she regrets that her father thinks
business is only for men and says he’d go crazy if he knew she could do all
that. Miguel, Macario, and Patricio continue to think that Ruben is doing Gerardo’s
work for him. Miguel is impatient and they try to calm him down, but Miguel
tells him they don’t have time to waste and storms out. Don G takes his leave
of Carolina, offering to teach her about how to manage a ranch. He tells her to
come to his office if she wants to learn and she asks him why he’s offering and
if it’s just because he wants to study her more in order to see if she’s good
enough for Alex. He tells her that she’s partly right, but that he also likes
her. As Don G walks away from Carolina, Miguel watches in the background,
realizing that he has to kill Don G and he has to do it immediately so that
Carolina and Alex don‘t get everything.
Patricio tells Macario that he wants Don G
to leave him as executor of his estate. Diego tells Renato that he’s not
selling his ranch. Renato decides to stop insisting and look around for other
properties. He asks Diego if he lives alone or if he’s married. Diego tells him
that he’s alone and plans on staying that way. German is with Claudio when they
see Victoria go into the kitchen. German tells him that Victoria is the woman
that loves Diego, but that they aren’t together because Victoria is with
Gonzalo Montero. Claudio makes a comment about getting rid of all of Diego’s
enemies.
Renato tells Diego that he seems to be
suffering from woman troubles and Diego tells him that it’s none of his
business and has nothing to do with the ranch. Renato offers him one of his
collection of women, but Diego tells him he doesn’t need his help. Victoria
goes to see Maria and tells her that she’s found the perfect way to get her
revenge against Gladys. Lucrecia talks to Martin and Florencia about her plans
to marry Diego. Florencia tells her that Diego doesn’t want to marry her and
Martin tells her not to make someone marry her when she knows he doesn’t want
to and that what she’s thinking to do isn’t as easy as she expects it to be.
Lucrecia tells him that she’s a woman and she knows how to make him fall in
love with her. Martin reminds her that Diego loves another woman and she yells
at him, telling him that he doesn’t have to keep reminding her every moment of
every day that Diego thinks he’s in love with another woman. She vows to make
him hers.
Florencia tells her that every day she
reminds her more and more of their father and points out that her trying to
force Diego into marrying her is the same thing that Don G tried to force them
into doing: making them marry someone despite how they felt about it. Lucrecia
isn’t convinced and gives her sister a look and says that she’s not like other
people who based their marriages on lies. Martin looks at the two of them and
asks Lucrecia what she’s talking about. Lucrecia suggests that he ask Florencia
to tell him about the secret she’s been hiding from him since they got married.
He asks Florencia what her sister’s talking about and Lucrecia decides to
leave, saying it’s none of her business, but Martin stops her, asking angrily,
“Why did you say that about your sister?”
Constanza continues to look at photo albums
when Martin arrives and asks her why she has so many albums. Constanza tells
her that they contain the happiest moments of her life and shows her some
pictures--of her with her siblings and her mother, then of her and a boyfriend
she had when she was younger. As she flips through the album, she stops on a
picture of her, Lucrecia, and Florencia holding a baby (Mariana/Carolina).
Lucrecia
tells Martin that she said what she said because she can’t believe that anyone
can be as happy as they appear to be. Martin says that she’s just jealous of
their happiness and she admits it, angrily and walks out. Florencia tells him
that Lucrecia is crazy and promises that she’s not hiding anything form him.
She kisses him and thinks to herself, “I have to talk to Lucrecia. Martin can’t
find out anything.” Alone, Lucrecia says that she is jealous of Florencia and
can’t understand why the three of them all made the same mistake, but only she
and Constanza have to suffer for it.
Florencia confronts Lucrecia and asks why
she wants to ruin her marriage when she only wants to help her. Lucrecia
doesn’t believe she really wants to help her and accuses her of flaunting her
relationship with Martin in her face, without any consideration for the pain
that she (Lucrecia) is going through. Constanza lies to Martina, telling her
that the baby belonged to a friend of theirs. Martina notes a resemblance to
Bianca, but Constanza is adamant that it’s not Bianca. Martina asks her why it
pains her so much to talk about the baby and Constanza says that she’s just sad
because she hasn’t seen the baby and the baby’s mother in a long time. She gets
a phone call from Florencia and tells her that they all need to get together
and talk about what happened.
Carolina tells Alex that her meeting with
Don G went fine and he’s surprised as Victoria tells Maria what Gladys wants
her to do and that Gladys is in love with Gonzalo. Maria thinks what she’s
doing is crazy and that during all the time she worked at the Montero ranch,
all Gonzalo and Gladys did was fight like cats and dogs. Don G finds Gonzalo
and insults him. He complains that Gonzalo only gave him one grandchild and
Gonzalo reminds him of the child he was expecting with Luisa. Don G says he
hopes the child was never born and Gonzalo tells him that he hopes the child
was born and that one day, he’ll find it and bring it back to the ranch so that
it can get what rightfully belongs to him/her. Don G watches angrily as Gonzalo
walks away.
Gladys, Isabela, and Christa plot and
scheme, trying to find a way to break up Carolina and Alex so that Isabela and
Alex can be together. Renato gives Diego a card with his information on it and
tells him to call if he ever needs a woman for distraction. He suggests they
have another drink and Diego pours him another as Renato asks him the name of
the woman that’s got him so upset, but Diego tells him that’s his business and
no one else’s as Victoria tells Maria what really happened with Gonzalo. Gladys
tells Isabela and Christa that they should send Carolina flowers or something
so that Alex will think there’s some other man in her life. Don G sends for
Isabela as Gladys and Christa wonder why he wants to talk to her.
Don G meets with Isabela and tells her that
he spoke with Carolina and Carolina refuses to let Alex go. Isabela asks if
he’s going to throw her off the ranch and he tells her that she can stay for
the moment. He tells her that he wants to see how she will fight for Alex. She
tells him that she will definitely fight for him because she’s not the type of
person who likes to lose. He offers her a piece of advice, telling her not to
let Carolina’s sweet face fool her, because she’s not an idiot.
Carolina goes to ask Macario if she can
leave now that she’s finished her work and he tells her that he likes that
she’s hard-working and gives her his permission, telling her that he’s going
with her. She asks why he has to go with her and he tells her that he doesn’t
want her going out alone, not after what happened earlier with Diego Ibarra.
Carolina thanks him for his concern and tells him that she’s not going by
herself, she’s going with Alex who invited her to go fishing with him and she
doubts he‘d want Macario to accompany them. Behind her, Patricio asks, “Are you
the girl that’s in love with Alex? Or should I say: the girl who’s in love with
Alex’s money? Is that the way it is?”
Carolina defends herself against Patricio
and his accusation and Macario asks he why she came to ask for his permission
to leave when she knows that he can’t tell Alex “no” because he’s his boss’s
grandson. Carolina tells him that he (Macario) is her boss and she thought it
best to ask him for his permission to leave. Amalia walks in on Macario yelling
at her friend and asks why he’s shouting at her. He tells her that it makes him
angry that Alex is playing with her feelings. Amalia assures him that Alex
loves Carolina and Carolina leaves after agreeing with her. Amalia tells
Macario not to worry about Carolina so much or she’ll start to get jealous. She
smacks him on the butt as she walks out.
Isabela goes to see Alex. He’s getting his
fishing gear together and asks what she wants. She tells him that she wanted
him to ask her to go fishing with him and calls him “my love”. He tells her
that he’s not her love and she warns him that he’s going to regret leaving her.
He asks if that’s a threat and she tells him that Carolina is going to hurt him
and when she does, she (Isabela) will be waiting for him. He leaves. Gladys
tells Christa that she’s worried about Renato because he’s been gone a long time
and Christa isn’t worried and is sure that Renato is convincing enough to get
Diego to sell him Los Encinos. The conversation turns to Victoria and Gladys
tells her that he’s set on trying to destroy Victoria.
German introduces Claudio to Edelmiro and
Claudio accidentally reveals that he was in jail. Edelmiro promises that he
won’t tell anybody when German tells him that Diego doesn’t want anyone to
know. Edelmiro asks if Victoria is the reason Diego doesn’t want anyone to know
and German tells him that he doesn’t think so because Diego and Victoria had a
fight.
Victoria is still talking to Maria when
German, Claudio, and Edelmiro walk into the kitchen. German introduces Claudio
to Maria, but ignores Victoria. Maria asks him if he’s going to introduce him
to Victoria and German turns to her, asking her how she could play with Diego’s
feelings like she did. Diego assures Renato that he’s not going to sell his
ranch and Renato asks him to teach him about managing a ranch because he wants
to know everything there is to know. Diego agrees and offers to show him the
horse. He tells him to follow him to the kitchen because it’s the quickest way
to get outside to the horses.
In the kitchen, Victoria tells German not to judge her because he doesn’t know the way things really are. Claudio asks German what they’re talking about. Before he can answer, Diego arrives and is surprised to see her. Renato walks in behind him, complementing him on his ranch, but stops in mid-sentence as he comes face to face with Victoria. Edelmiro moves forward, recognizing him, saying, “But this is….This is the guy that tried to kill Victoria!”

Episode Thirty-one
When Renato and Diego walk into the
kitchen, Edelmiro reveals Renato’s true identity to all. Renato tells them that
Edelmiro is confusing him with someone else and Victoria tells him that’s not
true and tells him not to play innocent. Victoria turns to Diego, “Diego, don’t
trust this guy. What reason did he give for coming to your ranch?” He says, “He
came to buy my ranch.” She tells him that Renato is Isabela’s uncle and was
sent there by the Monteros to make an offer on his ranch.
Gladys tells Christa that she wants Renato
to destroy Victoria, saying, “I want him to destroy her after…” She catches
herself from revealing her plans with Victoria to seduce Gonzalo. Christa is
suspicious and asks her what she’s hiding from Renato. Diego confronts Renato
and Renato tells him that he’s not a Montero spy and only came because he
wanted to know what he and Victoria were plotting to do. Victoria tells him
that Diego has nothing to do with her plans. Renato tells her that he’s
discovered that they’re accomplices and that he learned it from Gladys. Diego
tells him that they are accomplices and Renato tells him that he just came to
tell them that whatever they’re planning won’t work. He tries to leave, but
Diego stops him, telling him that he’s not going to abandon “his plan” and vows
to follow through with it. Renato tells him that he’s not going to get the
Montero fortune because it’s going to be his. Diego comes to the realization
that Victoria only wants the Montero fortune.
Gerardo takes Don G the work that Bianca
helped him do and Don G is impressed, telling him that he learns quickly. Ruben
preens from the sidelines. Don G asks if Gerardo did it all himself or if Ruben
helped him, reminding him that he admires his honesty. Gerardo can’t lie and
tells them that he did have help, but it wasn’t Alex or Ruben. Don G asks him
who else could possibly have helped him. Gerardo reveals that it was Bianca.
Ruben is livid. He shoves Gerardo and asks him how that’s possible and why he
let Bianca get involved in men’s issues. Don G is more than a little surprised
with Gerardo’s confession.
Diego tells Renato to do whatever he has to
do, but tells him to leave and warns him never to come back onto his land.
Renato tells him to calm down and offers him an alliance. Diego is insulted by
his offer, telling him that he’d never take something that wasn’t his and is
about to storm out of the kitchen when Renato asks him why he’s Victoria’s
accomplice--”Is it because she’s such a delicious lover.” Diego turns around
and is about to attack him, but Victoria beats him to it, slapping Renato hard
and calling him a pig.
Gladys asks Rocio where Victoria is and Carolina
arrives asking her what she wants with her mother. Gladys tells her that Alex
will soon grow tired of her and they’ll never get their hands on the Montero
money. Carolina tells her that she doesn’t want their money and vows never to
lose Alex. As Carolina leaves, Gladys insults her, saying she’s as insolent as
her mother. Renato asks Victoria who she thinks she’s fooling and Victoria
tells him that she’s nothing like him and his nieces. “That’s enough!” Diego
says, and orders Renato out of his house. Renato tells him that he can see that
he’s very ambitious but doesn’t want to share. Claudio asks if he’s deaf or
simply doesn’t understand, then asks Diego if he’d like him to remove Renato by
force, pulling out a piece of cloth which he wraps around his hands, intent on
choking Renato with it. Diego tells him not to and Victoria tells Renato to do
whatever he wants against her but she’s not going to let him do anything to
Diego. Renato laughs and says, “Defending your lover again…” Diego punches him
the stomach and German holds him back, telling him that‘s enough and physically
taking Renato out of the house. Outside, German shoves Renato and Renato falls.
German tells him to stop bothering Diego and that Diego doesn’t want a cent of
the Montero fortune. He leaves Renato, face-down on the ground.
Victoria quickly announces that it’s best
that she leaves now, too, turns to go, but Diego grabs her arm, saying, “No,
ma’am. You’re not going anywhere.” She tells him that she has to go back to
work and he tells her, “No. You and I need to talk right now.” Angrily, he
pulls her out of the room.
Diego
takes Victoria to his office. She tells him to let her go and that he’s hurting
her. He lets go of her arm and asks, “You think it doesn’t hurt me that people
think I’m ambitious and it’s all your fault?” She tells him that Renato thinks
everyone is like him. He calls her a gold-digger and she tells him not to
insult her. He tells her he’s not insulting her, he’s only speaking the truth.
He tells her not to play innocent anymore because he now knows her big secret:
she’s trying to get the Montero fortune.
Ruben assures Don G that he’s going to take
care of Bianca and put her in her place, and assures Don G that no one is ever
going to help Gerardo with his work again. Victoria, on the verge of tears,
tells Diego that she was always honest with him and always told him that they
could never be together. He tells her to shut up, “Stop telling me lies. What
do you want? If you‘re not after the Montero fortune, what is it you want?” She
tells him she’s sorry but she can’t tell him, even though he hates her for it.
He tells
her that he hates and abhors her, “Ya te odio. Ya te aborrezco.”
She says
that she doesn‘t want to hear anymore, “Basta. No quiero seguir escuchando.”
He grabs
her arm and stops her from leaving, saying that she’s not going anywhere until
she tells him the truth.
“What
truth?”
He wants
to know if she’s with Gonzalo just so she can get his money.
Gonzalo finds Amalia straddling Macario’s
lap and Macario ripping off her clothes. He apologizes for interrupting them
and tells Macario he’d like to speak to him alone. Gonzalo calls Amalia a
savage and she grabs her clothes, telling him that she may be a savage but at
least she’s not a drunk like him. He laughs and she leaves. Gonzalo tells
Macario that he wants him to clean out the abandoned cabin again so that he and
Victoria can use it and Macario reminds him of what happened last time with
Gladys. Gonzalo isn’t worried.
Victoria tells Diego that she’s not after
Gonzalo’s money and he says, “Ah, no? Then why? Are you in love with him?”
Angrily, he yells at her, “Come on, answer me! Be honest for once in your
life!” Upset and angry, she tells him that she’s told him a thousand times and
that if he doesn’t believe her, he can go to hell because she doesn’t care
anymore. She tells him it’s her business and doesn’t want him getting involved.
He tells her that her reputation might not matter to her but his matters to him
and doesn’t like that fact that, “….Renato and I don’t know how many others
think I’m ambitious like you.” She tells him that she’s not the one who told
Gladys they were accomplices and reminds him that it was him who did that. He
tells her he only did that to help her because he wanted to be with her and
never imagined that she just wanted to get her hands on the money. She tells
him that she doesn’t thinks she’s capable of convincing him that what he says
isn’t true.
“Then,
what do you want me to think?” he asks.
Still
fighting back tears, she says, “Think whatever you want to think. I don’t care
anymore. I’m tired. Think whatever you want to think and I’ll do the same.” She
turns to leave, but he grabs her arm again.
“All
right, Victoria. Go be with Gonzalo. I don‘t care.” He tells her that every
time she kisses Gonzalo, she’ll be thinking about him (Diego), because she
loves him.
He tells
her to admit it, admit that she’s in love with him. She asks him how he can be
so sure that she loves him and reminds him that he thinks she’s nothing but a
liar. He tells her that he knows because he can see it in her eyes and that her
lips are screaming, begging for “un poqito de amor.”
He kisses
her. He finishes the kiss and repeats that every time she kisses Gonzalo, every
time she goes to bed with him, she’ll be thinking of him (Diego) and that maybe
the day will come when she’ll beg for a kiss from him, “…un besito verdadero,
del que tu y yo sentimos.” He walks out, leaving her crying.
Don G tells Gerardo that once again he’s
surprised him with his honesty, and Gerardo thanks him but tells him that his
honesty is going hurt Bianca. He tells his grandfather that he can’t stop
worrying about his sister and his mother and that Ruben will beat them. Alex
and Carolina go fishing and he gives her roses. He makes her promise never to
leave him and tells her how much she means to him. He tells her that they’re
problem was that they didn’t communicate with each other and that’s how Isabela
managed to break them up and they both promise to consult each other more
often. She thinks about the secret she’s hiding from him.
Amalia asks Victoria why she’s crying and
offers to help her. Victoria tells her that no one can help her. Amalia tells
her to tell her what happened and assures her that she’d never betray her or
Carolina. Victoria tells her that she’s sacrificed so much to get to this point
in her life: her youth, my right to fall in love, to be a mother…”You’re right
to be a mother?” Amalia asks, “What about Carolina?”
Constanza and Florencia don’t know what to
do about Lucrecia and Florencia is worried about losing Martin. Constanza
declares that she would be happy if Ruben left her, assuming he left her alive
after beating her for what she did. Lucrecia thinks about the kiss Diego gave
her. “My God, how can I forget him? Who is this woman that he loves so much?”
She says that the whole world knows the woman’s name but won’t reveal it and
wonders where the woman lives and comes to the conclusion that the woman must
be very rich and educated. Her sisters enter the room
Constanza and Florencia confront Lucrecia
about her destructive behavior and can’t understand why she wants to ruin all
their lives by revealing their secret. Lucrecia is upset and can’t believe that
they’ve given up on their daughter. They remind her that Luisa ran away with
Mariana and there’s no way to find her. Lucrecia is still bitter and reveals
that Florencia is the baby’s real mother.
Diego goes to Martin’s gallery and they
discuss his art but the conversation quickly turns to Victoria. Florencia begs Lucrecia
not to be cruel when her sister throws in her face the fact that she never had
any children after Mariana and only has Patricio, another woman’s son.
Florencia thinks that she’s been punished by God because she abandoned Mariana
and now she can’t have anymore children. Lucrecia doesn’t seem affected by her
sister’s tears and asks what she would do if Luisa showed up on her doorstep
with Mariana. Diego gets a miniature art lecture from Martin and they go to get
coffee.
Constanza defends herself and Florencia.
Florencia tells her that she doesn’t know what she’d do if Luisa showed up on
her doorstep with Mariana and asks Lucrecia why she wants to ruin her marriage
by telling Martin that she gave birth to a baby all those many years ago. Diego
tells Martin what he thinks he’s discovered about Victoria.
Amalia continues to question Victoria and
asks if Carolina was adopted and Victoria covers her slip of the tongue and
makes her believe that Carolina is hers and she was a very busy mother who
didn’t have the time to spend with Carolina, so she left her with a nanny.
Amalia comments that she could have made time to be with her daughter because
she was a rich woman who could have let other people do her work for her.
Victoria asks Amalia if Carolina resents that fact that she wasn’t around much
when Carolina was growing up as Florencia is upset thinking about the daughter
she gave up and never knew. Lucrecia’s stance on the issue isn’t softened by
Florencia’s tears.
Amalia tells Victoria that Carolina is very
proud of her and happy to be her daughter. Amalia asks Victoria what she’s
hiding and Victoria tells her that Diego thinks she’s with Gonzalo and only
wants his money and Amalia tells her that it’s what a lot of people on the
ranch think. “How can he think that of me?” Victoria asks out loud, and says
that she hates Gonzalo.
Gonzalo tells Macario how he wants the
cabin decorated as Martina eavesdrop at the door. Macario asks Gonzalo if he
thinks Alex is simply playing with Carolina’s feelings and Gonzalo tells him he
doubts it and thinks Alex likes Carolina a lot. When he leaves, Martina
overhears Macario confess his love for Carolina and vow to make her his. Still
fishing, Alex tells Carolina that he hopes his grandfather disinherits him once
and for all. Alex tells her that he’s sad to say it but he doesn’t trust his
grandfather.
Patricio goes to see Don G and they decide
to put their plans into motion immediately. Patricio asks for a favor: that he
doesn’t tell Ruben what they’re planning to do. Don G tells him that Ruben
would never betray him, but Patricio tells him that he knows that Ruben wants
to make Gerardo Alex’s replacement and might try to bring Gerardo into the
situation. He tells him that if Ruben tries to bring Gerardo into their plans, it
would be a disaster because Gerardo doesn’t have what it takes. Don G asks what
he ahs against Gerardo and Patricio tells him he has nothing against his cousin
and loves his cousin very much, but comments that Gerardo is too weak to get
involved in what they’re doing.
Gerardo is in the kitchen with Rocio when
Gladys arrives and tells Rocio to take refreshments to Renato and Christa and
Isabela. She tells Gerardo that he’ll never replace her son and that he lacks
too much to compare to Alex. In the living room, Gladys overhears Renato
talking to Isabela and Christa what happened at the Ibarra ranch. When Gladys
tells him it was a stupid idea for him to get involved, he tells her to shut
up. Christa tells Renato their plan to make Alex think that Carolina has
another man in her life when Martina informs them all that Macario is in love
with Carolina.
Carolina and Alex know that they need to be
alert because Isabela isn’t going to stop trying to break them up. Alex tells
her that if they just talk and be honest with each other about everything, they
can overcome all obstacles and Isabela won’t be able to break them up. Carolina
thinks about the secrets she’s hiding from him about Victoria and feels guilty
about it.
Victoria tells Amalia that she isn’t interested
in Gonzalo and Amalia asks her why she pretends to care for him. Victoria tells
her that the only man she loves is Diego Ibarra as Diego talks to Martin about
her. Martin expresses his sympathy for Victoria and Diego wonders how he could
feel sorry for her and tells him that he’s completely disillusioned about
Victoria. Martin tells him that he fells sorry for both of them. Martin tells
him that Gonzalo isn’t going to inherit anything and Diego prays for the day
that Victoria finds that out. “You don’t know how much this pains me,” he tells
Martin.
Victoria tells Amalia that she has to go
back to work for Gladys. Amalia tells her, “That’s not true.” She tells her
that she knows that Victoria controls both Gonzalo and Gladys and only works
there to keep up appearances. She tells her that she doesn’t know what her
secret it is, but guesses that it must be really important. Victoria tells her
that even though it’s really important, it’s not as important as what she feels
for Diego. Amalia wonders why she just doesn’t forget about everything and go
and be happy with Diego if he’s more important than everything else. Victoria
tells her that it’s too late for that, “How am I supposed to be able to
convince him that I don’t want the Montero fortune?” When she leaves, Amalia
wonders about what Diego might have to say about the situation, then realizes
that she’s just looking for a reason to go to the Ibarra ranch and see German.
Claudio asks German if he’s worried about
Diego. German tells him that he is and doesn’t know why Diego’s so late. He
paces back and forth as Lucrecia continues to antagonize Florencia about the
baby she had. Lucrecia wants to blackmail Florencia into helping her, telling
her that she can use Martin because Martin is Diego’s friend. She says that
Florencia could get Martin to convince Diego to give her a chance or at least
learn the name of the woman that Diego is in love with. She tells her that if
she doesn’t do what she asks, she’ll tell Martin that she had a baby by another
man.
Carolina tells Alex that she has to get
back to work and he admires her work ethic as Isabela scowls at them in the
background. Macario thinks about Carolina and is surprised when Isabela walks
in. She tells Macario that she knows his secret and asks for his help in
breaking Carolina and Alex up by making Alex think that Carolina has another
man in her life.

Episode Thirty-two
Isabela asks Macario to help her break up
Alex and Carolina and tells him that she knows that he’s in love with Carolina.
He asks if Alex knows and she tells him he doesn’t. Macario tells her that he
wants both Amalia and Carolina. Carolina asks Amalia if Macario is still angry
with her about leaving with Alex after she finished her work and Amalia tells
her not to worry because she’s capable of alleviating his anger, telling her
that a woman can make a man do anything if she knows what she’s doing. Later,
Amalia tells Carolina that she’s worried about Victoria and Diego. They decide
to go to see Diego and make sure that he knows that Victoria really does love
him and Carolina turns the conversation to German and tells Amalia that she’s
noticed the effect German has on her.
German tells Claudio that he wants to go
and search for Diego, but can’t go because he’s got work to do and Claudio
offers to go find him. German tells him not to get into any messes and Claudio
assures him that he’s not going to create any problems and doesn’t want to go
back to jail, saying that if he does go back it’ll be because it’s inevitable
and he would have done it only for Diego. Diego tells Martin that he doesn’t
know what he’s going to do about Lucrecia but assures him that he’s not the
type that would go rushing into her arms just because he’s upset with Victoria.
Martin tells him that he’s always thought he was a good person but he’s just
confirmed it and expresses his fear that now that Lucrecia is in his house,
he’s going to create problems for him and Florencia.
Florencia and Constanza agree to help
Lucrecia and she tells him that they have two weeks to find out the name of the
woman that Diego is in love with or she will reveal their secret. Victoria
fixes Gerardo a sandwich and he thanks her. He expresses his concern for
Victoria when he notices her red eyes and she thinks that perhaps all the
Monteros aren’t bad. Ruben finds Gerardo in the kitchen and orders him to tell
him where Bianca meets with her friends. Gerardo tells him not to hurt his sister,
but Ruben threatens to ask the father of one of Bianca’s friends where she
might be.
Bianca goes to the café with her friends
and runs into her uncle Martin and Diego. She’s worried that if anyone finds
Diego there, her father will be angry with her and Martin tells her that Diego
is with him and not with her so it shouldn’t be a problem. She goes back to her
friends as Patricio talks to Don G about Gerardo and Ruben. Don G tells him
that he admires Gerardo’s honesty. Patricio tells him that he’s worried and
reveals that he overheard Ruben bragging about how Gerardo was going to replace
Alex. He asks Patricio who he thinks he should leave everything to and
Patricio, realizing that Don G expects him to nominate himself, surprises the
old man and answers that Alex would be the best choice.
Gonzalo finds Victoria alone and he tells
her that he wants to see her that night and she worries that Gladys will find
them together. He tells her not to worry and that he’ll be waiting for her. He
leaves and she plans to switch places with Gladys so she doesn’t have to be
with him. Don G is surprised at Patricio’s answer and wonders why he didn’t
suggest himself as the best choice for his heir. He asks if Patricio doesn’t
thinks himself able to manage the business himself. Patricio tells him that
he’s always thought of himself as a Montero, but knows that Don G would never
leave everything to someone who wasn’t really a Montero. He tells him that he’s
resigned himself to simply working at the company and helping Don G out and
plans to be of assistance to whomever Don G chooses as his heir. Don G asks him
if he thinks that if Alex marries Carolina, she will end up going through his
entire fortune. Patricio tells him that the solution to that problem would be
to appoint someone as an executor of his estate for a couple years so that they
can keep their fortune safe form anyone who might try to steal it from Alex.
Isabela tells Gladys that Macario is going
to help her, but she’s worried about Victoria because she’s not a fool and
she’s always with her daughter in the evenings. Gladys tells her that she
doesn’t have to be worried about Victoria and has a plan of her own. Gladys
finds Victoria in the kitchen and Victoria agrees to help her and that she will
help her with Gonzalo that very night. Florencia talks to Constanza about
Carolina and guesses that Carolina might know the name of the woman who Diego
is in love with.
Diego and Martin finish their talk and
Martin tells Bianca that she shouldn’t be late going home because she knows how
her father is. When he leaves, her friends complain about her father and get
back to their studying. Carolina asks Amalia if she’s sure that the only reason
they’re going to the Ibarra ranch is to talk to Diego about Victoria and not
because Amalia just wants an excuse to see German. Amalia tells Carolina that
she thinks German is hot, but assures Carolina that she loves Macario. They
cross the fence onto Los Encinos.
Claudio arrives at the café looking for
Diego. He calls German and tells him that Diego wasn’t there. He makes eye
contact with Bianca and she smiles at him. He’s about to leave when Ruben
arrives, shoves past him and roughly pulls Bianca out of her seat. At Los
Encinos, German scares Carolina and Amalia. Carolina tells him why they are
there and he tells her that Diego’s gone and doesn’t ever want to see her
mother again. When Carolina leaves for the main house to wait for Diego, Amalia
asks him if he’s going to throw her off of the ranch. German laughs and she
tells him that if he lets her stay, she’ll tell him some romantic stories.
Maria tells Carolina that Diego is very
angry with Victoria and tells her why. Carolina resolves to fix things between
her mother and Diego when Diego walks through the front door. He tells her that
if her mother sent her to tell him something, it won’t do any good and she
should leave. She tells him that her mother didn’t send her, but she (Carolina)
wants him to know that the only thing her mother wants from Gonzalo is revenge
against him and all the other Monteros. He asks her what happened and she tells
him that she can’t tell him because it’s her mother’s secret and very personal,
but swears that Victoria doesn’t want the Montero fortune. Diego asks her if is
Victoria capable of sleeping with Gonzalo to get what she wants if it‘s not the
money. Carolina tells him that she doesn’t know. Diego realizes that Carolina
doesn’t really know what her mother is capable of.
Victoria and Gladys iron out their plans
for the night and Victoria tells her never to forget that it’s thanks to her
that Gonzalo is going to spend the night with her. She also tells Gladys that
she’ll have to be the one to get Gonzalo drunk. After offering him a drink and
Gonzalo refusing it, Macario tells Gonzalo that he followed his orders and
fixed the cabin like he wanted it and Gonzalo is pleased. When he leaves,
Macario is happy to have Gonzalo’s mind occupied with other things. Miguel
arrives and fixes himself a drink. Macario talks to him about his drinking and
tells him that he needs to be clear-headed if he wants to succeed in their
mission.
Ruben embarrasses Bianca in front of all
her friends and insults them all--saying that if they were decent girls, they
would be at home with their families and not in a café like this, peddling
their flesh to men. She cries and tells him that they were just working. He
slaps her hard. Claudio is enraged at Ruben’s treatment of his daughter and
tells him to leave her alone. Ruben accuses Bianca of knowing Claudio
intimately and Claudio assures him that he’s never seen her before in his life,
but won’t let him treat her like that. Ruben roughly drags her out of the café.
Constanza learns from Rocio that Ruben went
looking for Blanca and is angry with her. Constanza worries about Bianca and
Gerardo apologizes, saying it‘s all his fault. Constanza knows that Ruben will
beat Bianca but says there’s nothing she can do to stop it and they’re all used
to the way Ruben treats them. Alex tells Constanza that she has to do something
and says that he’s sick and tired of everyone living in fear of Ruben and Don G
and says that it has to stop.
Gladys shows Victoria all the things that
she bought to aid in her seduction of Gonzalo. She tells Victoria that she
doesn’t want to get Gonzalo completely drunk. Gonzalo tries to make Iabela,
Renato, and Christa understand that Alex doesn’t love Isabela, but they insist
that Isabela loves him. Isabela tells Gonzalo that Carolina is just playing
with Alex’s feelings. Diego asks Carolina if her mother is making her help her
with her revenge by seducing Alex and Carolina assures him that she really does
love Alex.
Alex and Gerardo worry about Bianca when
Ruben drives up and pulls Bianca out of the car. Alex tries to stop Gerardo from
confronting Ruben, telling him that he has to act with intelligence. Gerardo
storms up to his father and pulls Bianca free of Ruben, pushing her behind him.
Alex comforts Bianca as Gerardo tells his father that if he hits his sister,
he’ll tell Don G that he doesn’t want to learn anymore about the business and
doesn’t want to be his heir. Gerardo continues to stand up to her father. Ruben
changes his attitude quickly, he’s gentle with her and calls her his “little
love” and tells her to come with him. Bianca is still wary and has a right to
be because Ruben whispers to her that her brother just saved her, but she’d
better hope he is chosen as Don G’s heir because if he isn’t, she and Constanza
will suffer the consequences.
Don G tells Patricio that he knows how to
protect himself from Ruben’s ambitions and that Gerardo isn’t as weak as
Patricio seems to think he is. Patricio asks if Gerardo has somehow undergone a
miraculous change and Don G tells him that he can’t say that, but he’s been
observing Gerardo lately and comments that although he knows nothing about
business, Gerardo is valiant and has really surprised him. He says that he has
qualities that a lot of men lack and tells Patricio to focus his attentions on
Diego Ibarra because he doesn‘t plan on dying anytime soon and still has time
to make his final decisions. He tells Patricio that Diego has to be taken care
of immediately. Patricio suggests that they should wait until Lucrecia drops
the charges against him and Don G tells him that it might be a good idea to
make the police think that Diego tried to kill him (Don G) because it would be
easy for them to believe because Diego was in jail for a long time.
Martin goes home and finds Lucrecia alone
and he confronts her about what happened earlier, telling her to stop trying to
threaten his marriage with all her lies or he’ll kick her out of his house and
won’t care if her father beats her again. Patricio hears as Don G tells his
lawyer that he wants to see him tomorrow so that he can make changes in his
will and Patricio is sure that this means that Ruben isn’t going to be the
executor of his estate for much longer.
Diego tells Carolina that it’s best that
she leaves now, but tells her that if she ever needs him, all she has to do is
come and find him. She begs him to believe what she’s saying about her mother
and assures him that Victoria loves him and he’s the only one who can make her
give up on her revenge. He tells her that he’s already tried and tries to get
her to tell him her mother’s secret, but she tells him that she can’t.
Victoria and Gladys leave Gladys’ bedroom
and run into Christa. Christa wants to know what’s going on and thinks that
Gladys has finally convinced Victoria to join with them. Victoria tells her
that she and Gladys have come to an agreement.

Gladys tells Christa that she would never
betray Renato, but refuses to tell her what she and Victoria have planned.
Victoria leaves as Christa threatens to go tell Renato that she saw Gladys and
Victoria together and that they’re conspiring against him as Renato verbally
attacks Isabela, insulting her and criticizing all the mistakes she’s made with
regards to Alex. He comments that he is capable of making Carolina betray her
mother and come work for him, then decides that’s exactly what he will do:
bring Carolina over to his side and make her kill her mother.
Victoria overhears Gonzalo telling Miguel
that he doesn’t want anything to drink because he wants to be sober for what’s
going to happen that night. She comes in and starts cleaning the bar and
suggests Gonzalo have a drink, but he tells her he doesn’t want to forget
anything this time. She tells him that he doesn’t have to drink much and makes
him a drink before she leaves. He takes a drink and comes to the realization
that Victoria really does want him and she trusts him and he has to show her
that he’s able to handle his liquor as Gladys continues to try to convince
Christa that she’s not plotting against Renato. Gladys is bullied into
revealing what she and Victoria are planning to do and Christa bursts into
laughter.
Diego tells Carolina that there’s nothing
he can do about Victoria because he already tried. He says that he doesn’t know
what to believe about her and Carolina tells him that he has to believe that
she loves him and reminds him that he loves her, too--then, asks if he’s going
to deny that’s the way he feels. Rocio finds out that Victoria didn’t get in
trouble with Gladys and wonders at how Victoria is able to manage the other
woman as Carolina tells Diego that he should talk to Victoria again. He asks
her how he can do that if he can’t go the Montero ranch and she won’t come back
to Los Encinos and she suggests that he meets Victoria that night at Don
Chema’s. He agrees and tells her that he’ll go there and wait for her, but if
she doesn’t show up, it’ll be the last time that he agrees to talk to her.
Carolina is very happy and thanks him, kisses his cheek and tells him that she
hopes that one day he’ll be her step-father and leaves the house. Once she’s
gone, he says, “I’m sorry, Carolina, but when I speak to your mother, it’ll be
simply to tell her how despicable it is to use her own daughter like this (to
get her revenge).”
German and Amalia laugh together and he
tells her that he loves the stories that she told him and marvels at her
ability to express herself and her feelings. German isn’t so happy when she
tells him that her life is great because she’s in love with Macario and calls
him gorgeous and says that she has to be careful that no one takes him away
from her and smiles as she makes a comment about how she “satisfies” him every
night. Patricio goes to see Macario and tells him that Don G is changing his
will tomorrow.
Ruben tells Constanza that from this day
forward, he won’t be beating her and Bianca anymore. She’s shocked and he tells
her that he promised Gerardo in exchange for making himself indispensable to Don
G. He tells her to pray every day that Gerardo is left as heir because if he
isn’t, he’s going to take it out on Constanza and their daughter. Bianca calls
her brother her hero and thanks him for saving her. He hugs her but can’t
imagine how he’ll be able to keep up his end of the bargain. Alex tells him not
to worry and he and Bianca vow to keep helping him with his work, only this
time they‘ll be more discreet. Don G finds Gladys and Christa together and
tells Gladys to go get him something to drink so that he can go to his room.
Alone with Christa, he tells her that she hasn’t been to see him in a long time
and she tells him it’s because things are more complicated now that her “uncle”
is there. She agrees to come and see him that night and make up for lost time.
Gladys and Christa go back to the living
room with Christa and Renato and Gladys tells them that they need to set their
plans for Carolina into motion that very night because she’s going to make sure
that Victoria isn’t around to interfere. Renato calls them a band of idiots.
Carolina finds Amalia and German and thanks German. He tells her that he wishes
her mother and Diego the best and Carolina leaves. As Amalia follows her, she
tells German that she had a great time with him that afternoon and thinks that
they could be really good friends. She gives him a big smile before saying
goodbye and leaving. They pass by Claudio on their way back and Claudio meets
up with German and notes that Diego has come home. Claudio tells him what
happened at the café earlier and that he defended one of the Monteros.
Martin is painting when Lucrecia brings him
something to drink so that they can “make peace”. He isn’t fooled and tells her
that he’s not going to tell her what Diego said to him about her. He tells her
no, but assures her that everything that was said about her was the absolute
truth. He tells her that he told Diego the truth about how she really is: that
she was a cizañosa (a troublemaker) and can’t stand to see another couple
happy, not even her own sister, and tells her that he highly doubts that, after
hearing all that, Diego will ever accept her at his ranch again. He walks out
of the room and Lucrecia has a hissy--fit at attacks the picture Martin was
drawing, imagining that it’s the woman Diego loves and says that Florencia will
find out the name of the woman and she (Lucrecia) will get rid of her.
German tells Diego what happened at the
café with Claudio and they decide that it must have been Bianca he was
defending against Ruben. Diego tells him that the last thing they need is more
problems with the Monteros and that he’ll have to have a very serious talk with
Claudio and tell him that he has to forget about Bianca. Florencia goes to her
father’s ranch and is greeted warmly be her niece, Bianca. She asks where her
father is and Bianca tells her that he’s in his room and asks if something is
wrong. Florencia tells her that nothing’s wrong and she just wants to talk to
him; she rubs Bianca on the arm and Bianca flinches in pain. Florencia asks her
what’s wrong and Bianca tells, “…you know how my father is.” Florencia is angry
and says that she won’t allow this and Bianca tells her that Ruben has promised
not to hit them anymore because of the pact he made with Gerardo.
Diego goes to talk to Claudio and tells him
that he appreciates him and promised to help him, but tells him that if he
doesn’t forget about Bianca, he’ll have to throw him off of Los Encinos. Bianca
leaves as Florencia tells her she needs to talk to Don G and runs into Gladys
who tells her not to bother Don G because he’s resting. Florencia tells her
that Don G will want to know about Lucrecia and reveals to Gladys that Lucrecia
is living with her and Martin. Gladys tells her that Lucrecia will never be
with Diego because Diego already has a lover. Florencia asks her who his lover
is and Gladys tells her that it’s Victoria and Florencia is shocked to learn
that Carolina’s mother is Lucrecia’s rival. Gladys tells her that she saw
Victoria and Diego in bed together and they were about to have sex and
Florencia tells her that she doesn’t believe her because Gladys might be making
it up just to upset Lucrecia. Gladys tells her that she’s telling the truth.
Alone, Florencia knows that this is exactly what she needs to give to Lucrecia
in order to make her keep their secret, but doesn’t know what to do and wonders
what Lucrecia is capable of doing to Victoria.
Martin goes back to his work and Lucrecia
comes to see him again. He tells her to leave him alone to work in peace and
she refuses unless he promises to tell Diego that what he told him wasn’t true.
He refuses and she tells him she’s not crazy and he reminds her that they
invited her into their home and all she does is try to ruin their relationship
with her lies. Lucrecia tells him that it’s not her fault if Florencia is
hiding something from him and he refuses to believe it and tells her that it’s
a lie. “And what if I wasn’t lying?” she asks and leaves the room.
Florencia goes to see her father and tells
him that Lucrecia left the Ibarra ranch and she’s now living with her and
Martin. Don G says that it’s best that she’s living with Florencia because now
she will see how her sister really is and complains that Lucrecia was always
creating problems in his household, just to irritate people and Florencia tells
him that he’s right about that. She reveals that Lucrecia has decided to drop
the charges against him but refuses to give up on Diego Ibarra and wants to be
with him. Don G tells her that if such a thing happens, it’ll be over his dead
body.
Claudio tells Diego that all he did was try
to protect a Bianca from her father and that he didn’t do anything bad. Diego
tells him that German insinuated that Claudio might like her. Claudio tells him
that he thinks she’s pretty and saw that she was being mistreated and tried to
help her, but says that if it were any woman--Montero or not, pretty or
ugly--he would have tried to protect her. He hints that his protecting a woman
from some man who mistreated her is the reason why he went to prison when he
says, “….you know why I went to prison, Diego…”
Florencia speaks with Constanza and wonders
what’s wrong. Constanza suggests that she tell Don G that Diego is in love with
another woman and not Lucrecia, but Florencia doesn’t know what to do. Florencia
tells her that she knows who Diego’s in love with and knows that Lucrecia is
capable of doing anything to get rid of the other woman. Alone, Victoria says
that no one’s going to stop her from getting her revenge now that her plans
have been put into motion. She says that if she once considered giving it all
up so that she could be happy with Diego, she no longer has those doubts. She
realizes that Diego hates her now and knows that it’s all her fault because
it’s the ways she wanted things--revenge over love.
Constanza tells Florencia that she probably
shouldn’t believe Gladys, but Florencia insists that Gladys doesn’t have a
reason to lie about it. Florencia tells her who Diego’s lover is and Constanza
tells her that’s going to create problems with Gonzalo because everybody knows
that Gonzalo wants Victoria. Gonzalo continues to drink and Gerardo arrives and
asks what’s going on. Gonzalo tells him that he’s celebrating because that
night, he’s going to have an incredible woman in his bed. Gerardo laughs,
thinking it’s Gladys and that he’s simply arming himself with alcohol against
Gladys.
Gladys, Christa, and Isabela tell Renato
their plan and wonder why he thinks it won’t work. He tells them that it could
work, but not now, they need to let some time pass. Renato calls them stupid
and tells them that Alex will be suspicious because it wasn’t that long ago
that Isabela kissed Alex and made it so that Carolina would see the kiss and
misinterpret the situation and Alex will be even more suspicious when he
considers that fact that Isabela and Christa lied about the bet. He tells them
they should wait a while and during that time, he’s going to offer Carolina
money to leave Alex. Carolina and Amalia decide to talk Don Chema into letting
Victoria and Diego use his cabin as a meeting place and Carolina wonders how
they’ll ever get Victoria to go to the cabin because she won’t go if she knows
Diego will be there.
Florencia tells Constanza that even though
Lucrecia is blackmailing her and wants to destroy her marriage, she doesn’t
feel right telling Lucrecia that Victoria is the woman who Diego is in love
with. Her conscience won’t let her, she says, because Lucrecia might try to
hurt Victoria. Constanza asks her why she cares what happens to this woman and
tells her that Victoria seems to be able to take care of herself and Diego will
protect her too. She asks if Florencia doesn’t want to tell Lucrecia because
Victoria is the mother of Alex’s girlfriend. Florencia tells her that she likes
Carolina and Constanza feels the same way about Carolina, but she’s worried
about Florencia and her marriage with Martin. Florencia tells her that Carolina
reminds her that she has a daughter somewhere out there around Carolina’s age.
She tells Constanza that Carolina’s smile reminds her so much of her mother’s.
“Yeah, now that you mention it, you’re right. Carolina has our mother’s smile,”
Constanza says.
Amalia suggests that Carolina tell Victoria
to go to the cabin so that her fortune can be read by Don Chema. Before Carolina
leaves, Amalia tells her that she wishes she could go with her, but she has to
decorate her place for the night (with Macario). Macario tries to make Mifuel
stop drinking, but Miguel throws a drunken tantrum. Patricio tells them that as
soon as Don G changes his will, they have to get a pistol and get Diego’s
finger prints on it so that the police will think that he killed Don G. Macario
orders him again to stop drinking and Miguel is impatient to get his revenge
against his father and get rid of Diego Ibarra, too.
Diego apologizes to Claudio and tells him
that he doesn’t want him to leave the ranch and tells him that he just feels
deceived and hurt and can’t believe he fell in love with a woman who isn’t
worth it as Maria overhears in the background. Claudio tells Diego that he’s
sorry and doesn’t won’t to cause him any problems and says that he’ll probably
never set eyes on Bianca again. Diego asks Claudio how he knew it was Bianca
Montero and Claudio tells him that after she left with her father, he asked her
friends about her and asked for her phone number. Diego tells him that he
really is interested in her if he asked for her phone number and warns him
never to fall in love because he doesn’t know how much it hurts to love
someone.
Florencia finds Victoria alone and asks her
if it’s true that she and Diego are in love. Victoria says that it’s none of
her business. Florencia tells her to be careful and Victoria asks if she’s
threatening her. Florencia assures her that she’s not threatening her and simply
wants to warn her about her sister because she doesn’t want Lucrecia to hurt
anyone. Victoria tells her that she doesn’t care if Lucrecia and Diego get
together, but Florencia tells her she should still be careful and that Lucrecia
isn’t well. Victoria asks her why she cares and Florencia tells her that she
doesn’t want Lucrecia to get in any more trouble and she also wanted to warn
her because she likes Carolina, saying, “…she makes me feel…I don’t know...I
don’t even know how to explain it…I don’t want her to suffer for you…I like
Carolina a lot and if you suffer, she‘ll suffer, too…” Victoria thanks her and
watches her leave, wondering if Florencia might come to suspect that Carolina
is a Montero.
Diego is upset about his problems with
Victoria as Maria anxiously waits to find out why Claudio was in prison.
Claudio tells Diego that it’s not easy to forget and tells him that a man sees
beautiful women walk by every day, but there’s only one woman for him and when
he sees her, his heart speaks and says, “That’s her, she’s the one…” Diego
understands perfectly what Claudio is trying to say and Claudio tells him that
he had a lot of time to think while he was locked up and that Bianca’s eyes
spoke to him and he’s saddened because her father hurt her. He promises Diego
that he’s not going to call Bianca and Diego asks if he’s sure that he can’t
keep his promise. “For you? Of course,” Claudio answers. He says that she
probably wouldn’t even want to know anything about him if she found out that he
was in prison for attempted murder. Maria hears in the background and is
shocked.
Florencia comes home and finds Lucrecia
alone and tells her that she knows the name of the woman that Diego loves. Lucrecia
orders her to reveal it and Florencia tells her that it’s Victoria.

Episode Thirty-four
Lucrecia is shocked to learn that Victoria
is the woman Diego is in love with. She calls Victoria a liar and a traitor
(among other things) and Florencia points out that not only did Maria keep it a
secret from her, but Diego didn’t want her to know either that Victoria was the
woman he’s in love with. Bianca tells her friends that she’s fine and they talk
about Ruben. They give her the books she left at the café and she tells them
that her brother protected her from her father. They ask her if she remembers
the guy from the café and she says she does, smiling and saying how nice he
was. Her friend tells her that he was more than just nice, he was gorgeous and
they tell Bianca that he asked for her phone number and that his name was
Claudio Marquez. Bianca thinks they’re crazy for giving out her phone number to
someone they don’t even know, but smiles now that she’s discovered a reason to
talk to him--to thank him for what he did at the café.
Claudio rips up Bianca’s phone number in
front of Diego as Maria thinks that Claudio is a murderer in the background.
Diego tells him that it was useless to tear up the phone number because Bianca
lives right next door at the other ranch and reveals that when he discovered
that Victoria was working for the Monteros, he made up excuses and risked his
life just to go over there to see her. He says, “That’s the way love is. What
am I going to do?” German arrives and tells Diego that Carolina wants him to
meet Victoria at Don Chema’s cabin as Bianca’s friends encourage her to call
Claudio. They are wary of what her father might do if he finds out, but Bianca
tells them that she doesn’t care what her father thinks. They’re surprised and
she tells them about the pact her father made with Gerardo and thinks that now
she’ll have a bit more freedom and will be able to get to know Claudio better.
She tells her friends that she was impressed with him and decides that she
won’t call him because she’s 100% sure that he will call her. Her friends agree
with her.
Diego tells Claudio, “See what I mean,
Claudio? I’m going to go see Victoria again. I’m going to risk my life once
again. That’s the way love it.” German thinks it’s too dangerous, but Claudio
tells him that he’ll go and watch his back. Maria interrupts and insists that
Diego go and speak with Victoria so that they can clear things up and assures
him that Victoria really does love him. “I don’t believe you, Maria,” he says,
“Furthermore, I don’t want to clear up anything with Victoria. I just want to
tell her how wrong she is for using her own daughter to get revenge….Victoria
is worse than Lucrecia. Much worse.”
Carolina gets Don Chema to let Victoria and
Diego use his cabin as a meeting place, but tells her that something is going
to happen and the night will end badly between the two of them. Carolina tells
him that he’s always giving bad news and he tells her that he only speaks the
truth and their fates aren’t in his hands. Carolina thanks him for letting them
use his cabin so they can talk. Diego wants to tell Victoria how much it
disgusts him that she’s using her own daughter and German tells him that it’s
best that they leave things the way they are. Maria tells him that he has to
talk to her and convince her to forget her revenge and when Claudio asks what
she wants revenge for, Maria tells them that she can’t say because only
Victoria can tell them. Claudio asks Diego if he knows what it is and Diego
tells him that he doesn’t know if it’s revenge or if she’s just ambitious and
wants the Montero fortune. German reminds him that Carolina told him that
Victoria only wants revenge and Diego thinks that perhaps Victoria didn’t tell
Carolina the truth. He thinks that if she’s capable of using her own daughter
to get revenge, she’s capable of lying to her, too.
Don Chema assures Carolina that no physical
harm will come to Diego by coming to the Montero ranch that night but
emotionally, he’ll be destroyed. Diego tells Maria that it’s useless to defend
Victoria and says that even though he’ll never stop loving her, he’s decided
not to waste his time thinking about her after he tells her that he won’t let
her hurt Carolina. Claudio asks him how he’s supposed to forget the mother when
he can’t stop worrying about the daughter. They all wonder what Victoria is
hiding as Amalia goes to see Victoria. Victoria worries about Carolina’s relationship
with Alex, but Amalia is sure that he won’t hurt her. Victoria says that no one
should trust a Montero.
Carolina goes for a walk with Alex and
thinks about Don Chema’s words. Alex asks her if someone’s upset her and says
that whoever it is, he’ll throw them off the ranch himself. Isabela, Renato,
Christa, and Gladys ponder the plan Renato has: paying Carolina to leave Alex.
Carolina tells Alex that nothing’s wrong with her and Alex reminds her that
they promised they would always be honest with each other. She tells him that
it’s nothing important and he tells her that everything that has to do with her
is important to him and asks if there’s something he can do. She tells him to
hold her and that she feels safe in his arms. He thinks to himself that
whatever it is, it must be something Isabela has done to upset her. Christa
informs her accomplices that she doesn’t think that Victoria and Carolina are
mother and daughter. She thinks they might simply be nothing more than two
people conspiring together to get the Montero fortune, just like Christa and
Isabela are not really the nieces of Renato. Gladys thinks it might be true
that they aren’t mother and daughter.
Carolina tells Alex that Don G makes her
uncomfortable and thinks it’s weird how he’s so obsessed with the fact that she
reminds him so much of his late wife. Alex thinks it’s silly as Don G tells
Ruben that he’s getting old and notices how his sleeping patterns and his body
have changed. Ruben tells him that he’s as strong as a bull and has a long time
left and no one wants to see him die. Don G laughs and tells him not to be a
hypocrite because he knows that everyone at the ranch is waiting for the day
that he’s buried and gone. Ruben insists otherwise and tells him that he’s the
person who’s the most loyal to Don G--”…with the possible exception of
Gerardo..” Don G tells him that Lucrecia is dropping the charges against him
because of Diego.
Lucrecia tells her sister that she wants
everyone to know that she’s not going to let Victoria take Diego away from her
as her sister tries to talk some sense into her, “…Diego loves another woman…”.
Lucrecia tells her that things can change, “…and now that I know that Victoria
is my rival, I’m going to get rid of her, Florencia.” Florencia tells her that
she doesn’t know Victoria and doesn’t know who she’s messing with, but Lucrecia
doesn’t care and insults Victoria and can’t understand how a man like Diego
would want a woman like Victoria. Florencia tells her sister that Victoria
isn’t like other servants and perhaps she’s hiding something and warns Lucrecia
to be careful. Lucrecia tells her that she doesn’t care if Victoria is a
servant or not, if she’s hiding something or not, and that she’s going to get
her out of her way.
Victoria pours Gladys a drink and comments
that Gladys looks anxious about something and when she leaves, Renato asks her
what’s going on between her and Victoria. Christa tells Gladys to tell Renato
what she’s hiding. Gonzalo watches as Gerardo drinks and Gerardo tells him that
he’s nervous about his father and grandfather. Gonzalo tells him that he
shouldn’t drink so much because his father hates drunks. Don G tells Ruben that
Florencia and Martin have taken Lucrecia in but doubts they’ll be able to stand
her for much longer. Ruben asks if he would prefer Lucrecia to move back to the
ranch so that he can control her better and Don G tells him that he’s not
worried about that because if Patricio is nearby, he can keep him informed on
what Lucrecia does while she’s living with them. Don G is really impressed with
Patricio and his business skills and comments that even though he doesn’t have
Montero blood in his veins, he thinks of him as his grandson and regrets that
he can’t make him his heir.
Lucrecia tells Florencia to take her back
to their father’s ranch and assures Florencia that Don G won’t hit her anymore.
Florencia tells her that it’s best she stays where she is and Lucrecia says
that she wants to be close to Victoria so that she can “hacerla pedazos (tear
her to pieces)”. Carolina begs her mother to come with her to see Don Chema so
that she can read her fortune because she’s worried about losing her friendship
with Amalia because of Macario. She tells her that she’ll take care of Macario
and won’t let him hurt her, but won’t go to see Don Chema because she has
something very important to do that night. Carolina asks what she has to do and
she answers that she’d rather Carolina didn’t know, but that it has something
to do with her revenge.
Gladys tells Renato that what’s between her
and Victoria is private and has nothing to do with them and Renato threatens
her into telling him that Victoria is helping her with Gonzalo. Victoria
doesn’t tell Carolina what she’s going to do and leaves her alone. Carolina
goes to warn Diego that Victoria won’t be there and wonders if her mother’s is
really capable of doing anything to get her revenge, even becoming intimate
with Gonzalo. Gonzalo arrives at Macario’s drunk and Macario assures him that
the cabin is ready. He reminds Gonzalo that he said he wasn’t going to drink
today and Gonzalo (swaying) says that he only drank a little and isn’t drunk.
“Whatever you say,” Macario says in disbelief. Gonzalo leaves as Gladys arrives
at the cabin and cuts off the electricity so Gonzalo won’t be able to turn on
the lights and see her face.
Gonzalo meets Victoria outside of her cabin
and he tells her that he wanted to walk with her to the cabin and she tells him
that no one can see them walking together and sends him on his way. Don Chema
invites Diego into his cabin and tells him it’s not a trap. He tells Diego to
make himself at home and leaves, saying that he doesn’t want to be around and
witness the torment. Diego looks out the window and sees Gonzalo enter a cabin.
Carolina goes to see Diego and tells him that Victoria won’t be coming because
she has something really important she has to do. Diego looks back out the
window and sees Victoria enter the cabin that Gonzalo just entered.
Carolina is shocked. “It’s true,” he says.
“Victoria and Gonzalo Montero are lovers.” Carolina tells him it’s not true. He
tells her to open her eyes, “What kind of woman is Victoria, Carolina?!” As he
continues to be upset, Victoria meets Gonzalo in the cabin. She tells him that
she wants things to be like before and he tells her that he doesn’t remember
all that happened before. She tells him that she wants all the lights out and
they blow out the candles as Gladys watches from the door. Gonzalo gropes and
paws Victoria and she plays along. Carolina begins to doubt her mother and
Diego tells her that for whatever reason, Victoria has become Gonzalo’s lover.
He reminds her that Edelmiro found Gonzalo in Victoria’s bed, but Carolina
defends that particular incident. He tells her that he doesn’t know why her
mother does what she does, but insists that she and Gonzalo are in that cabin
together and says sarcastically, “I’m sure they’re not in there playing cards.”
In the darkened cabin, Victoria tells him
that she’s not going to say a word while she’s in his arms because so that she
can hear him and leaves to go make sure the door is locked. At the door, she
lets Gladys in and Gladys gets into bed with Gonzalo and starts kissing him. He
calls her Victoria and kisses her back. Diego tells Diego that he doesn’t want
her to think badly of her mother, he simply doesn’t want Victoria to use her
for her revenge as Carolina is at the window and sees her mother leave the
cabin. She alerts Diego and calls out to her mother.
Victoria goes to the cabin and asks her
what she’s doing there, then sees Diego who tells her that Carolina is there
because she wanted them to talk to each other. Gladys and Gonzalo are still
together in bed and Gonzalo still doesn’t know that it isn’t Victoria as
Victoria tells Carolina that she knows that her intentions were good because
she thinks that “…Diego es mi felicidad. But that’s not the way it is. It’s
best that we go home because Diego and I have nothing to talk about.”
“On the contrary, Victoria. You and I have
a lot to talk about. Carolina, please leave us alone……We‘re going to talk,
Victoria, whether you want to or not.” She tells him that she doesn’t want to
and he can’t make her. He asks her what’s wrong and if she’s anxious to get
back to Gonzalo so that they can continue their night together. She slaps him.
Lucrecia arrives at the ranch and is
greeted by Constanza. She tells her sister that she’s not leaving the ranch
because now that she knows who the other woman is, she’s going to fight for
Diego, saying that it will be a fight to the death.
“I don’t care what you do, Victoria, but
you’re not leaving here until we talk. Carolina, go to your room.”
Victoria
tells him that he’s nobody to be ordering her daughter around and he tells her,
“I’m that man that you love, even though you deny it. Leave, Carolina, please.”
Victoria refuses to let Carolina leave
without her, saying that she has nothing to talk to him about and doesn’t want
Carolina walking home alone. Carolina says that she’ll ask Don Chema to walk
her home and runs out of the room before Victoria can stop her.
Diego gets between Victoria and the door
and asks, “Why are you afraid to be alone with me, huh? What are you afraid of,
Victoria?” He kisses her. She tries to break free, then starts to kiss him
back.

Diego and Victoria kiss as Carolina shows
Don Chema where she lives. He tells her that he’s afraid someone might see him
there and tell Don G. He says that Don G hates him and she asks if he really
thinks Don G will do something to him and he answers that Don G is capable of
doing anything. He says it’s thanks to Macario that he has a place to sleep and
food to eat and if Don G knows that Macario helped him, he’d be kicked off the
ranch.
When their kiss ends, Diego says, “Do you
see? You love me.” He accuses her of being with Gonzalo and she tells him
that’s not true. “Then what the hell were you doing in that cabin?” She tells
him that she doesn’t have to give him explanations and he says that she doesn’t
have to give him explanations because he’s going to forget about her, even
though she’s ripped his soul apart. He tells her that he only wants to protect
Carolina, telling her not to use her because it’s not fair. She tells him that
she knows what’s fair for her daughter and he tells her that she doesn’t and
that as a mother, the most important thing to her should be her daughter and
not her revenge.
Amalia goes to Macario’s room and he’s playing
dress up. He pretends to be Arabic and gives her some clothing, telling her
that’s it’s enough for her and all the other women. She asks what other women
he has and he tells her that a man like him, Arab men, have more than one woman
and that the poorest of them, have two at the very least. Amalia tells him that
there are lots of women inside of her and he doesn’t need any others as he
thinks to himself that Amalia will have to satisfy herself with being his lover
because Carolina is going to be his wife whether she likes it or not. Carolina
asks Don Chema why Don G hates him so much. He tells her it’s all in the past
and that if there’s anyone who can change him (Don G) before he dies, it’s her
(Carolina). She asks what he means and he tells her she’s not ready for the
truth about her past.
“I know what I’m doing and I’m not going to
let Carolina suffer,” Victoria tells Diego and asks if Carolina told himself.
He tells her that she didn’t and that Carolina is always defending her even
though she hasn’t yet realized what kind of a woman Victoria is. “You don’t
know, either,” she tells him, then accuses him of misjudging her. He tells her
that he knows enough about her and that it will help him keep away from her
forever. “Good,” she says, “Forget me. Go and be with Lucrecia.” At the mention
of Lucrecia, he gets angry, “Why the hell do you have to bring Lucrecia into
this?!” He tells her that he’s not going to get involved with Lucrecia because
he doesn’t love her and he’s not going to lead her on.
Lucrecia doesn’t think her father will
throw her out as Constanza tells her that Florencia is worried about her.
Lucrecia tells Constanza to tell their sister not to worry because now that she
knows that Victoria is her rival, she won’t be telling Martin that Florencia
had a baby that she didn’t tell him about. Maliciously, she asks, “Can you
imagine how Martin would react?” Constanza tells her that Martin is a good man
and Lucrecia tells her that no man is so good that he would let a secret like
that slide. Martin tries to put an end to Florencia’s worries about Lucrecia,
but her worry turns to the secret she’s hiding.
Don Chema warns Carolina about people
trying to separate her and Alex and warns her about her mother, too. Victoria
tells Diego that he won’t consider being with Lucrecia because his pride won’t
let him and he tells her not believe that. He says that he accepts that he can
never be with her (Victoria) now that he’s discovered how she really is and
he’s seen that all she has inside is hatred. He tells her that he refuses to be
with Lucrecia because he doesn’t love her and doesn’t use people the way that
Victoria does.
When he’s about to leave, she stops him,
tears in her eyes and asks, “And you? What do you know about me? What do you
know about what I have inside? What do you know about what the Monteros did to
me? Nothing. You don‘t know anything.”
Gladys lights a candle and looks at her
husband as he lies sleeping. When he is about to wake, she blows out the candle
so he won’t see that she’s not Victoria. He calls her Victoria and asks is she
wants so more. She climbs back into bed with him. Renato complains about Gladys
and her night with Gonzalo and Isabela asks him if he has feelings for her.
Renato tells her that Gladys is just another one of his pawns like her and
Christa and that all of them have to be in love with him and desire only him.
He tells Isabela that he’s perfection.
Diego tells Victoria that what she does is
none of his business and that he only wants to make sure that she doesn’t use
Carolina. “Good. Is that all you wanted to tell me?” she asks. He tells her it
was and suggests she go back to the cabin where Gonzalo is waiting for her. She
yells at him, telling him that she never had sex with Gonzalo. “I detest him! I
hate him!”
“You’re a liar!” He asks her why she went
into the cabin with Gonzalo and she tells him that he’s there, but he’s there
with his wife.
“You’re
crazy, Victoria. You’re completely crazy if you think anyone would believe
something like that.”
He
decides he’s going to call her bluff and grabs her arm, telling her that he’s
going to go and see if she’s telling the truth or not. She tells him that they
can’t because if Gonzalo finds out that it’s Gladys and not her, who knows what
he’ll do. Diego thinks she’s just scared he’ll prove that she’s lying and drags
her out of the cabin.
In the cabin, they slip into the room where
Gonzalo is sleeping (that was quick), Gladys’ arm wrapped around him. Diego is
shocked at the sight and they leave quietly walk back to the cabin. “You see?”
she tells him. “You see that it was the truth?”
“ Yeah,” he says. “I swear that I didn’t
understand what was happening. Forgive me, Victoria, forgive me for having
doubted you. I was just sick and tired of all the mystery. Listen, whatever
your problem is, tell me, and we’ll face it together. I swear. I’ll help you…I love you.”
“Please, leave me alone, Diego.”
“No, I’m not going to leave you. I’m not
leaving here until you agree to marry me.”
She tells him that she can’t and that she
doesn’t want to ruin his life. He tells her to please ruin it because nothing
else matters to him except her. “I love you. Please, stay with me.”
She tells him that they aren’t good
together and tells him that he’s too jealous.
“You’re accusing me of being too jealous?”
he asks incredulously.
She sticks with her accusation and tells
him that he’s too jealous even if he doesn’t want to accept it. “Please, leave.
Go find Lucrecia.”
He is annoyed to hear Lucrecia’s name again
and tells her that he wants her, not Lucrecia, “How many times do I have to
tell you?…It‘s you or no one else.”
“Then it’s no one, because we can’t be
together.”
He asks if her ambition or her revenge is
stronger than her love. “It’s not ambition. It’s only revenge and believe me, I
have good motives for doing this.”
She tries to leave, but he stops her,
telling her that they were made for each other and that their love is
invincible and he wants to marry her, “Please, tell me ‘yes’.” He kisses her,
picks her up and sits her on the table. And continues to kiss her.
Worried about Diego, Claudio tells German
that they should go and check on him, but German thinks it’s too dangerous and
that if anything went wrong, Edelmiro would tell them because he’s watching out
for Diego. Diego and Victoria continue to kiss and she tells him to stop and
that if he doesn’t stop now, she won’t be able to stop them before something
happens. He tells her that they don’t have to stop, telling her how much he
needs her and desires her and how he they should get married and be together
forever. They continue to kiss as Don Chema tells Carolina that he has to go
because he doesn’t want anyone to find him that close to the ranch. He refuses
again to tell her about her past, but does tell her that Alex really does love
her and that love always triumphs and that she has to be very careful not to
fall into any traps. He leaves.
Constanza and Alex find Gerardo passed out
on the couch and decide to take him to Alex’s room so that Ruben won’t know
that he got drunk. Alex tries to convince Constanza that she isn’t to blame for
the things Ruben does and she vows that tomorrow, she’s going to confront Ruben
once and for all. They carry Gerardo out of the room. Don Chema arrives back
home and Victoria and Diego quickly stop what they were about to do and compose
themselves. Victoria tells Diego that she has to go and leaves. Don Chema
comments that he must have interrupted something important.
Victoria goes back to her cabin, saying that she can’t ever see Diego again because the next time, she won’t be able to stop herself. Carolina asks Victoria what happened and Victoria asks her if she really think
