in despair she calls to Armando but she has no idea that the man she loves and
relies upon is celebrating the birthday party for his wife, Alma Rosa, with
Esther, Elisa and Elena, their daughters. Esther, the elder daughter, is the
daughter to Emperatriz who he took away when she was in the jail sentenced for
the fraud done by Armando. The response from Armando helps her to comprehend
the whole situation and take in that he deceived her meanly. Emperatriz gave the child to Armando many
years ago by the advice of her mother Perfecta save that they would be together
again. When Emperatris is released the cunning Armando makes her believe she is
still in danger and that she is better escape as far as possible to be in safe.

bitterly and since then her life goal is to have her daughter back and demolish
the man she loves so deliberately.
Emperatriz meets Manuel, a smart businessman, who’s able to
help her come back to the motherland and acquire her daughter back. She faces
two things that prevent her plans, namely the affection to each other and her
quarrelsome nature. Soon their life changes when she appears in the family of del

quarrel with Emperatriz who is focused to ruining Armando’s life. Assuming that
her daughter is Elisa, Emperatriz makes efforts to get closer to her. However,
the events end in Alma Rosa’s death and Armando’s suicide burn the hatred in
heart of Elisa. On the other hand, Esther found out that Alma Rosa was not her
mother when she was a teenager. She was greatly shocked with the news to the
extent she tried to commit a suicide. Elisa saved her from death and they
became so close to each other then. Elisa saves Esther from cruel and merciless
actions done by Emperatriz and Esther is sent to Switzerland by Justo del Real,
her grandfather, who has always disliked her.
The disdain shown by Alejandro hurts Emperatriz since he
supposes she is the reason of all troubles and grief caused to his nieces. In
the meantime, Emperatriz founds out that her real father is Justo del Real, the
influential and wealthy person.
When Esther is 18, she goes back to her house to her sisters
and with great intentions to find her true mother. And the time is there to

the fight for the heart of one and the same man. Emperatriz’e rival is the girl
she cried for her so much willing to find her and the rival to Esther is a
woman who gave her life to this world.

Lyrics
…y al borrar cada cicatriz
de mi mundo yo me volví
la reina, señora de cada momento
la única dueña de mis sentimientos
la emperatriz de mi vida
ven y enséñame a creer

levanta mis pedazos
dibuja para siempre tus besos
