When she was only 17 years old, Rosalinda was deceived by a married man with whom she was in love. When she discovered that she was pregnant, she escaped to the countryside in order to avoid bringing shame to her family. Furthermore, Marisela is the actual heir to an immense fortune.
One day, while walking in the countryside, Marisela meets Gabriel Reyes and they instantly fall in love with each other. What she doesn't know is that Gabriel is her father's godson. She finally comes into contact with her true family, and the title that is rightfully hers, after her aunt changes her will to include the niece that she has been searching for all these years.
However, luck is on Marisela's side. Her aunt's fortune falls into the hands of two ambitious and greedy individuals, Isadora and her fiancé Alvaro, Gabriel's best friend. They succeed in preventing Marisela from receiving her fortune, and also separate her from Gabriel.
