     Gabriela Galván es una hermosa diseñadora industrial, cuya vida está sujeta a las

arbitrariedades de Rodolfo, su padre, a quien soporta sólo por no hacer sufrir a su madre, la tímida y sufrida Ana Luisa. Gabriela conoce y se enamora de un humilde mecánico llamado Antonio, pero su padre quiere que ella se casa con Fabián quien ha prometido ayudar  económicamente en los negocios a Rodolfo. Sandra es la mejor amiga de Gabriela.

     Bajo un exterior y  gentil y cariñoso, Sandra oculta una ambiciosa y malévola mujer cuyo único interés es  apoderarse de la fortuna de Octavio Rángel, su supuesto tío. Los planes de Sandra peligran cuando Antonio salva la vida de Don Octavio y el millonario comienza a ampararlo. Por mientras, Gabriela  entra a trabajar a la fábrica de muebles de Octavio. Ella ignora que su patrón y Ana Luisa fueron novios en su juventud, y que Rodolfo siempre ha creído que su mujer sigue amando a Octavio.

     FIRST WEEK. USA 6/25-29/01. Antonio, a car mechanic, works with Carmeno for Don Trin. This night Antonio is taking a bunch of children to a fair. He and his sisters Valeria and Mary (Chapera) are orphans. Octavio, Sandra’s uncle, invites Rodolfo to a party celebrating 30 years in business. Rodolfo is an abusive husband to Ana Luisa (who was pregnant when they married), the lover of his secretary, and harsh father to Gabriela. She wants to work but he doesn’t want her to. Ana Luisa and Octavio were once in love and neither has forgotten the other. Octavio never married. Sandra angers Octavio when she shows him the new car she bought, but he gives in. They live with Isabel, the widow of Evaristo (the man who gave Octavio his chance in life) and her asthmatic son Silverio. The housekeeper is Adelina, the lover of ? and accomplice of Sandra. Rodolfo is very much in debt; he owes money to Fabian Montero, who likes Gabriela, and Octavio. At the fair, Antonio runs into trouble when two of the little girls need to go to the bathroom; a woman, Gabriela, walking buy helps him out. Later, or before, Sandra almost runs over Mary in her new car and Antonio yells at her. Gabriela gets a job and with her pay advance buys her mother a dress for the celebration. She asks her mother why she married her father but gets no answer. Sandra and Fabian take the car out for a spin and it runs out of gas or something by the shop where Antonio works. Sandra, playing the important rich person, demands service immediately. When Antonio recognizes her, they start to argue and Fabian draws a gun on Antonio. One of the mecanics grabs him and Antonio disarms him. Trini arrives and Fabian says that Antonio attacked him. Trini insists that Antonio work on the car. Rodolfo and his family arrive at the celebration. While Ana Luisa dances with Octavio, Gabriela tells her father about her job and he tells her to quit. Ana Luisa asks Octavio to give her daughter a job in his factory. Mireya?, Ana Luisa’s niece, greets her. Trini visits the beauty salon where Valeria works for Doña ? and goes into the private part of the salon, where they kiss. Doña Liche accuses Valeria of sleeping with everybody. Gabriela rejects Fabian’s request for a date. Antonio delivers the car to the celebration and Sandra is rude. He gives his bill to Octavio. As he is leaving, he bumps into Gabriela and they introduce themselves. Then a truck slips its breaks and starts to move toward her mother and other women. Antonio jumps into the truck and stops him. Octavio thanks him and offers him money which he turns down. Sandra apologizes for her behavior. Meanwhile, Rodolfo and his secretary ? Perez have grabbed a kiss behind another truck. Octavio tells Rodolfo he would like Gabriela to work for him in such a way that Rodolfo can’t turn him down. Rodolfo and his wife leave; he insists that Gabriela stay with Fabian. Instead of driving her home, he takes her to a hotel that has a bar. She tells him she is no fool and demands that he take her home; he grabs her and kisses her. She slaps him and gets out of the car. Columba eats with Antonio’s family; it is obvious that she loves him. Rodolfo is jealous of Octavio. Fabiano meets Sandra. Rodolfo’s wife almost walks in on him and his lover in the office and Rodolfo ends up having to give his wife the bracelet he bought for his lover. Carmelo tells Antonio he should ask Trini to pay him for the accounting he does; he asks, but Trini refuses because business is bad. It turns out that Fabian smuggles diamonds. The neighborhood gossip calls Valeria names after seeing her husband don Jorge talking to her. Antonio breaks up the fight and cautions Valeria to behave more discreetly. Sandra introduces Gabriela to the other designers, Berto and Pepe. Antonio suggests to Trini some promotions but he refuses. Octavio visits Ana Luisa and declares his continuing love for her, but she reminds him that she is married. On leaving work, Gabriela is attacked by two men (hired by Fabian) but saved by Carmelo and Antonio. Adelina confesses her love to Octavio but he rejects her. It turns out that Adelina is the real mother of Sandra; she is not Octavio’s niece. Adelina hits her after she calls her madre in front of another servant who has just found an old music box that Adelina gave her. Renato has a fender bender with the car owned by Diana and is immediately attracted to her. Octavio is impressed by Gabriela’s designs and her father is surprised to know that the new designs are hers. Sandra manages to erase all her work from the computer. On leaving work, Antonio surprises Gabriela and offers to take her home but her father arrives and tells him to stay away from his daughter. Octavio visits the neighborhood where Antonio’s shop is, sees him, talks to him, has a heart attack. Antonio takes him to the hospital. Sandra remembers when her mother told her that she would no longer be Sofia Morales but Sandra, sobrina de Octavio. She cries when she is alone. Antonio stays with Octavio at the hospital. Fabian orders Juan to investigate Antonio. He meets Mary outside the shop and questions her until Antonio appears. Sandra hires a hunk for the gym.  Octavio’s doctor, Diego, says he will be fine. Sandra and her mother are sorry he isn’t dead. Adelina tells Rodolfo that Octavio asked to see Ana Luisa and she was anxious to see him. Antonio arrives home and finds Valeria and Trini having sex.

He removes her wet clothes and puts his shirt on her and then covers her with a blanket. Later she begins to talk in her sleep saying "Don't leave me." Marcos hugs her and they kiss.  Next morning the coast guard calls Edgar but with no further news. Reni comes in after spending the night with Diana and learns what happened. Tony calls to tell Edgar that they can go to the coast guard office and wait for news there. Reni wants to go but Edgar orders him to stay home. Reni calls Diana to tell her what happened and she tells him that she's coming over.  Fer wakes up with a hangover. She doesn't remember anything that happened. She asks how she came to be wearing Marcos' shirt. He explains that she was shivering so he removed her wet clothes and put his shirt on her. Later she apologizes for acting like a fool. She asks him if anything else happened. He doesn't tell her about the kiss but says she talked about Fabián. Fer says that Marcos is her only confidante. He tells her that recently he was deceived...about the dance. He tells her that he felt something for her the first time he saw her. At first she doesn't want to hear it but then she admits that she likes the fact that he likes her. They really kiss.  Elisa complains that she can't find a job and that her freelance clients don't pay her. She asks Federico for $1000 to pay off her credit card. He brings her $550 which was all that was in his account. She gets mad at him and asks him to get a loan from the bank where he has worked for the past 20 years. He comes home and tells her he didn't get the loan...he got a pink slip.  Fer and Marcos arrive home. Around the dinner table they tell what happened. Tony insinuates that Marcos took advantage of Fer. Marcos becomes angry at the accusation and leaves the table. Tony honestly can't figure out why he got so upset. Diana tells him it's because of the questions he was asking. Joanna tells her that no one asked her and takes Reni into another room and tells him to get rid of her. Diana overhears Reni defending her.  Fer tells Tony that she wouldn't be around if it weren't for Marcos. She asks him to be nice to Marcos. He says he'll try which of course means "Get real!" Edgar tells Marcos that he owes him. Marcos says that what he wants most in the world is to work. Edgar informs him that he'll start at Musa Records tomorrow.  Next day Marcos looks very spiffy in his suit. He goes to the breakfast table where Fer tries to pretend he isn't there. The upside-down newspaper she is reading is a dead giveaway that she is uncomfotable but they talk about what happened on the island. Edgar then joins them.  Moncho reports to Musa. Tony tries to pump him for information about who got Fer to represent him. He tries to dodge his questions.  Federico is trying to figure what he can sell to make some money. He says he won't mortgage the house but he'll have to sell the car. He thinks he can get $6000 for it. Elisa is horrified.  Edgar arrives at the office and tells Tony about his new acquisition. Tony thinks he has signed a new recording act. Marcos walks in and Edgar introduces him as his new personal assistant.  Stay tuned!

Sandra tells her mother that Antonio still loves Gabriela and, worse, Columba is after him again. She wants to buy the shop where Columba works so she can fire her. Octavio offers Antonio a promotion. He refuses: he has worked for the company only a short time and if he accepts, all will think it is because of his relationship with Sandra. He wants to earn his promotion, demonstrate his worth to all. Octavio understands, tells him he will wait but wants him to learn as much of the business as he can. When Adelina finds Ana Luisa in Octavio’s living room, she suggests that her behavior may be seen as improper since she is still a married woman. At a restaurant, Fabian and Gabriela arrive just before Sandra and Antonio arrive and they decide to dine together, very uncomfortably. In the bathroom, Gabriela tells her that Antonio is interested in her only for her money.

=================

     USA 10/15-19/01. Norma shows Octavio and Fabian the picture, says her mother was a nurse, concludes that maybe she had a cousin who resembled her. Octavio seems to accept the answer and says he’s sorry he can’t help her find her old friend Sofia Morales. Fabian remarks that Adelina’s last name is Morales. Afterwards, Fabian tells Plutarco that Adelina and Sandra may not be with Octavio for long. Octavio calls the consulate in San Antonio. Sandra tells Columba that Antonio knows she bought the shop and is firing her.

She talks to the doctor who treated her, learns that her “novio” Fabian asked that she not be told, that the nurse told Antonio she was pregnant. Gabriela tells Octavio about the rape, how Antonio found her kissing Fabian; he suggests that she talk to Antonio, that perhaps he assumed that Fabian was the father. Fabian goes to Julia’s forest office, drugs her and sets the building on fire. Gabriela goes to Antonio and demands that he listen to her.  Then she sees the fire, they head back to the building and get Julia out. She refuses to notify the police, later tells Ignacio she is sure it was Fabian and confesses her past. Benigno tells Policarpo and his woman that he is getting nowhere with Dalila. Gabriela tells Antonio that she just learned that she was pregnant, that the baby was the result of a rape. They reconcile, go somewhere and make love. She is upset the next morning that she can’t find her ring. That night, he takes her to a special, romantic dinner outside the car shop, where he started and where his friends are. Fabian tells Plutarco that with Julia out of the way, Rodolfo’s possession of the brooch doesn’t matter but he still wants the jewels back. Octavio asks Sandra if she really loves Antonio or is marrying him because he will inherit half of Octavio’s wealth. She assures him the money doesn’t matter but tells Adelina who says they must get rid of Octavio now, by poison. Octavio receives a package from San Antonio. Fabian calls and Mireya tells him that Octavio doesn’t want to be disturbed because he just received something important from San Antonio. Fabian hangs up and grins.

Adelina tries to get him to blame just her but he kicks both of them out. Fabian arrives and Octavio tells him the whole story, including the fact that Antonio is one of his heirs. Fabian tries to excuse Sandra, say that she is honest, but Octavio doesn’t believe it. Fabian finds Adelina and Sandra taking money out of the safe, tells them it was Norma who made Octavio suspicious, says it is obvious now that they killed Silverio and Sandra’s lover, makes a deal: he’ll kill Octavio for ½ of the fortune. Adelina accepts. Julia tells Octavio about her past and Fabian, about the brooch, warns him that Fabian is dangerous. Meanwhile, Antonio returns the ring to Gabriela, has her serenaded, etc. She tells her mother how happy she is. She and Ana Luisa go to their house and find Rodolfo drunk, discover the jewels when some pottery crashes. Rodolfo is arrested. Antonio tells Octavio he is back together with Gabriela; they are interrupted before Octavio can tell him about Sandra.  Octavio visits Ana Luisa and says they need only wait for the divorce papers to marry. Fabian visits Octavio who tells him he knows about Julia’s sister; at first Fabian denies it but when Octavio mentions the brooch, he admits it. He knifes Octavio in the back. Octavio escapes from the room into the garden, Fabian picks up another knife, follows Octavio into Antonio’s house, knifes and kills him, drops one of the knives on the floor and leaves.

JA guesses that Sandra took the place of the real niece. Julia tells them they need proof, just like the brooch and tells Gabriela the story. She remembers something about a brooch and later talks with her mother who recognizes it from the photo, says that Octavio had it. Then Meche looks at the picture and says they used it in the costumes. While this is going on, Dalila and Chula play a trick on Licha: give her a special, free sample of a new shampoo.

She remains unrepentant.

     Fabian visits Mari, sees the brooch in the acquarium; Mari gives it to him and he puts it in his safe. Mari tells Gabriela and Julia. Antonio sees Sandra with a cassette, later steals it and plays it for Ignacio, Gabriela and Julia: it is the tape that records his murder of Octavio. Ignacio tells him it isn’t good enough, could be denounced as a fraud. They need more proof. Adelina tells Sandra that Octavio never really loved her, only felt guilty because of his brother. At the office, the secretary tells Adelina that a travel agency called for a Sofia Morales. Adelina calls the agency, learns that a ticket to Brazil was bought, cancels it.

Adelina tells her she is a fool, that she overheard Fabian denouncing Plutarco for not killing Antonio and letting him escape, gets her to admit that she offered her stock in exchange for Antonio’s freedom. Sandra asks her why she never loved her. Adelina tells her that she isn’t her child, she was the daughter of a prostitute. Adelina adopted her to pass her off as her daughter and, then, Octavio’s. It was she who killed the real Sandra and her parents. Sandra is devastated, determined to get free. Adelina comes at her with a knife; Sandra throws what must be acid or something in Adelina’s face and escapes.

He finds a drink and love note from Adelina, falls down paralyzed after drinking it. Adelina arrives, tells him she needs him alive, to confirm the information she gave the police in a call, denouncing Fabian and Sandra for the murders of Octavio and Silverio. She is sure that Héctor will turn on his cousin to save his own life. She takes the key to the locker where the money is stashed, tears up the tickets and leaves him. Julia and Ignacio greet Fabian and Gabriela at the reception for the merger of the two companies. Julia tells Fabian she is starting a new life, forgetting the past. He doesn’t believe her but doesn’t suspect anything. Trini finds Antonio opening Fabian’s safe. The two fight but Antonio wins, takes the brooch, and goes to the reception. At the reception, Sandra confronts Fabian; he tells her that Adelina lied, that Antonio is waiting for her. The show starts. While a video is being shown, Fabian gets a note, goes to his office, finds another note and plays the tape recording. A few minutes later, Sandra joins him in the office. Gabriel gives a signal. The video changes to the scene of Fabian’s office. All hear them argue, see him threaten Sandra, hear about Adelina. During the encounter, Sandra notices a camera but says nothing, changes the conversation and gets Fabian to admit that he killed Julia’s sister and Octavio. Sandra tells him that she truly loves Antonio but that Gabriela doesn’t love him. He notices her gaze and discovers the camera.
