Plot
editThe story revolves around the family dramas and businesses of two rival families. The long-enduring rivalry started many years ago, when Arturo Montenegro and Eladio Gómez Luna fought over the beautiful Ana Laura Montesinos Casino. She ended up marrying Eladio. Years later, Ana Laura is an unhappy woman stuck in an abusive marriage, her only consolation her son Federico, who is a total antithesis of his father.
After being widowed by his first wife, Arturo married the shallow Nina Guerra with whom he had three kids: Rogelio, Ana Karen y Paulina. Arturo, who is always focused on his business doesn't realise that Pedro, his son from his first marriage is being treated cruelly by his stepmother and her children. His only allies at home are his sister Ana Karen and his sister-in-law Alicia Moncada. When Ana Karen falls madly in love with Federico Gómez-Luna, the son of her father's enemy, Pedro offers her his support.
Touched by her kindness towards him, Pedro falls in love with Alicia despite her being married to his brother Rogelio. Empowered by her love he gets the courage to stand up to his siblings. Arturo learns to love his son just as he is and decides to win back Ana Laura. However, Eladio will not let them be happy and will do anything in his power to destroy the Montenegros.
