## Plot

Isabel Cordero (Elizabeth Álvarez) is an unlucky in love architect who lost the love of her life, Rubén (Alejandro Nones), when she was 18 years old because of her controlling father, Leopoldo (Alfonso Iturralde) who left his wife to start a relationship with Isabel's godmother. For this reason, Isabel's mother, Sara (Silvia Mariscal) loses her mind for a while and is admitted to a psychiatric medical institution. Isabel believes that she is cursed. She thinks that every man who falls in love with her will suffer for it. She thinks she will never succeed in love and be happy, until she meets Fernando Lobo (Diego Olivera).
Fernando Lobo is the manager of a construction company, who after the death of his wife Sofía (Fabiola Campomanes), is committed to raising their three daughters. While on a working trip to Veracruz, he meets Doris (Liz Vega) with whom he starts a short lived romance. After the project, he returns to the capital. Under somewhat funny circumstances, he meets Isabel, who is also his neighbor. Unknown to Fernando, Isabel is a friend of his three daughters. Doris, meanwhile, will join forces with Alfonso (Miguel Ángel Biaggio), Isabel ex-boyfriend, to prevent the relationship between Isabel and Fernando.
Lucía (Africa Zavala), Fernando's younger sister, is about to finish her novitiate in the convent run by Sor Ernestina (Raquel Morell), when she meets Willy (Daniel Arenas), a gym instructor that, in turn, is a gigolo. Despite her convictions about her religious vocation, the emergence of Willy and his declaration of love, will make Lucía hesitate. In addition, Beba (Mariana Karr) is in love and obsessed with Willy, but all he wants is her money. Hortensia (Macaria), Beba's best friend and mother in law of Fernando, wants to open the eyes of her friend.
Zoe (Grettell Valdéz), Isabel and Lucía's best friend, is a young woman dedicated to her home and her husband Álvaro (Pietro Vannucci), who is cheating on her with a man in his own house. After this discovery, Zoe realizes that she never really fell in love with Álvaro or any other man and does not "get them". In a suicide attempt, she meets Cecilio (Ricardo Fastlicht). She begins to like Cecilo but later will meet Felipe (Alejandro Ibarra) who will become her boyfriend and her husband and father of her daughter . She is unaware that Cecilio and Felipe are friends and business partners.
Marisol (Renata Notni), the eldest daughter of Fernando, is a rebellious teenager who is in constant conflict with her father, but finds love with Juancho (Diego Amozurrutia), a humble young man who is also a cousin of Willy. However, Barbara (Gaby Mellado), sister of Willy, is also in love with him and will do everything possible to separate them.
A twist in the story happens when Manuela (Fabiola Campomanes), Sofía's twin sister, returns, and is obsessed with Fernando, her late sister's husband.
