Plot
For 20 years, Fernanda has been unhappily married to Arnaldo, a wealthy and cruel man who is a womanizer and disregards Fernanda's feelings. While she was 18, Fernanda was in love with Pablo and they planned to marry. However, the brutal murder of her older brother changed Fernanda's life forever, as Pablo was accused of the crime. Through the evil schemes of her family, especially her overbearing mother, they convinced her that Pablo was dead and forced her into marrying Arnaldo.
Destiny brings her face to face with her past lover Pablo who has been released from prison, determined to exact revenge on those who falsely accused him and clear his name of the crime he was accused of. On seeing Pablo, Fernanda finds herself at a crossroads where she has conflicting feelings- on one hand, she is stuck in a dead marriage to a man she doesn't love, while on the other, she can find true happiness again with her past lover. Furthermore, Fernanda has been hiding a terrible secret. Her daughter, Ana Maria, is not Arnaldo's as everyone thinks, but Pablo's.
These two will have to face the lies, conflicts and sources that prevent them from regaining true happiness and love.
