He married another woman and adopted a daughter, Larissa. Helena falls in love with Ulises Medina, a poor boy whose best friend is Raimundo Villareal, son of the impresario Nestor Villareal, the owner of the Nautilus companies. Nestor had intimate relations with the mother of Ulises when they were young, but he deceived her and now she hates all the Villareal family.
Ulises and Helena decide to escape together but their plan doesn't work and Ulises leaves alone, pursued by the police, because he robbed a ring from the true Helena's grandmother to give it to her as a present. Shortly after Helena leaves for Mexico. Nine years later Helena has become a famous biologist and Ulises is a sailor.
