 Marielena is a girl raised with good morals by her mother and who lives with her brother and sister in an apartment. She becomes the secretary to Luis Felipe, and eventually Marielena and Luis Felipe have their affair. One day, while cavorting with him in his secret apartment, she forgets to take her birth control. As a result she gets pregnant.
Around this time Luis Felipe considers leaving his wife (who is an
older woman, and in fact plays his aunt's rival in Guadalupe) Claudia,
who he married for money. Claudia threatens and pleads with him not to
leave... Around this time, Claudia's nephew (whose father loses all of
his money and political career and ends up a pauper) asks her for money
(to support his drug habit) but when she does not give it to him, he
stabs her to death with a letter opener. Luis Felipe finds her and in
order to save a pregnant Marielena (who gets accused for the murder as
the nephew had snuck out thru a window and was not seen) confesses to a
murder he did not commit. He goes to jail thinking he saved her, and
she moves on, thinking he killed his wife. Eventually she marries a man
who pretends he is still blind from an accident (to keep her) and Luis
Felipe is released from jail. Then, the roles are reversed, as Luis
Felipe ends up working for Marielena. Everyone tries to stop their
love, but eventually, Luis Felipe and Marielena get back together and
the nephew (who is dying from AIDS) admits that he killed Claudia.
