## Plot

The story begins when María Herrera, a humble, hardworking woman and single mother of Renata Medina, meets Eduardo Sanint, a successful and wealthy businessman. They fall madly in love even though he is married to Annie, with whom he also has a son: Esteban Sanint. Eduardo must decide between Maria and his family. He feels that his love for Maria is not enough to leave his family and chooses to end his relationship with her. Unbeknownst to Eduardo, Maria got pregnant during their affair. Maria decides to look for Eduardo again to tell him that she is expecting his son. When she arrives at his house, his maid Olga informs her that he has gone on a trip with his wife. Maria asks Olga to deliver a letter to Eduardo telling him the truth, but the letter does not reach Eduardo because Olga decides to make it disappear so as not to affect the marriage. When Maria gives birth, Gracia, Maria’s mother, decides to go to tell Eduardo that he is the child’s father, but she does not manage to talk to him, since Eduardo's father does not allow her to do so. Eduardo, for his part, does not want to know anything about Maria and gives her a check so that she will not return. Gracia, having no money to help her daughter, takes the check and leaves. Maria becomes depressed because of Eduardo’s rejection, and as a result her baby is born with autism and Maria decides to commit suicide. After the death of her daughter, Gracia begins to hate Manuel Herrera, her grandson and Maria's son, for carrying Eduardo Sanint's blood in his veins and provoking the death of her daughter. Because of her hatred towards Eduardo, she instills in her granddaughter Renata that she has a mission: to avenge her mother's death and to hate her brother, since he is the son of her mother's murderer. But Renata cannot hate him because he is her brother and she feels she must love him as such. Twenty years later, Renata decides to avenge her mother by using her beauty. She ends up working for Eduardo Sanint in order to seduce him. However, she then meets Esteban Sanint, Eduardo’s son, who finally steals her heart.
