Carlota Guillen lives in Queretaro with her mother Bernarda and her older sister Eugenia. Bernarda pretends to be a respected lady, but in reality she was a lover of Leopoldo, the rich man from Guadalajara. Carlota is his daughter and the half-sister of Roman, who is the only legitimate son of Leopoldo. Roman found out that Leopoldo divided the heritage between him and the daughters of Bernanda and plans a revenge.
Carlota meets Alvaro Ibañez, the young doctor. Alvaro is from Mexico
City and has a younger brother, Adrian, who was adopted by his parents,
and in spite of the fact that his parents always treated them both the
same way, he hates Alvaro. Bernarda knows that when her daughters marry
she'll have to give them their heritage. She doesn't want to lose
control over the money, and therefore is against each and every man
that comes close to her daughters. Nevertheless, Roman managed to
seduce Eugenia and left her pregnant. Eugenia dies due to the
complications after the childbirth. Supposedly, the grandchild of
Bernarda died right after his birth, but he is alive. When Bernarda's
daughter dies, Alvaro thinks it was Carlota who died and, inconsolable,
leaves the city and goes to live with his parents in Morelos. Over
there, Alvaro meets Cordelia Portugal, who is identical to Carlota and
taking advantage of it, occupies the place of The Other.
