When Carlos Larios has become privy to the secret which his wife Catalina Creel has concealed for many years that she is not blind in one eye (for which she has blamed Jose Carlos and has made him feel guilty), he informs her, that he intends to expose her and change his will. To protect such a secret and to stop her husband from changing the will, she gives him a poisoned drink. Carlos drives off to work and on the way he suffers a fatal heart attack and dies. His vehicle crashes into the office building where Leonora Navarro works. Leonora contacts Larios' son Alejandro and informs him what happened.
In the will Larios stipulates that whichever of his
sons - Jose Carlos or Alejandro - produces an heir first shall inherit
control of the pharmacy company Lar-Creel and its fortune. Catalina
hopes that Alejandro and his wifeVilma are the first to have a child and
at the same time incriminates Jose a crime she has committed and Jose
is imprisoned.
Alejandro knows that Vilma is sterile and, being
fully aware of his mother’s character, he knows that she will force him
to divorce Vilma. He loves Vilma and decides to contact Leonora for help
and reach an agreement. While having Vilma fake a pregnancy, Leonora
becomes pregnant from him. When Catalina discovers Vilma's fake
pregnancy, Alejandro reveals his plan. Catalina wants Alejandro to
"marry" Leonora with the intention of taking the child once it's born.
Catalina hides Leonora during her pregnancy and leaves her in the care
of Dr. Zindel and Rosalia. Once the baby is born, Catalina orders Dr.
Zindel to kill Leonora. Rosalia is the one to do the task, but fails:
Leonora escapes into the night. A woman picks up her and drives her to
the place where she receives medical attention. When Jose Carlos has
been released from jail, Leonora marries him to get into the Larios'
house and find her son.
Bertha Moscoso, Catalina's secretary, has found
herself at the same clinic where Leonora once stayed. Dr. Zindel tries
to rape her, but Rosalia burns the clinic down and goes to Catalina to
demand help. Catalina instead of helping her frames Rosalia for her
crimes by dressing her in the disguise she used for her murders. Bertha
later shows up, also in disguise, to avenge Larios. She informs the
police of all the crimes that she believes they have committed.
Alejandro discovers that her mother killed his
father and it destroys him emotionally. Events take a turn for the worse
when Vilma gets cancer. Vilma gives Leonora's son back to her.
Alejandro prepares to fly Vilma to a medical facility in search of a
treatment to help her in her illness, but Catalina, believing Jose
Carlos and Leonora were going to fly, uses her influence to explode the
plane in mid-flight. Catalina receives news that her son is dead, when
the police are narrowing in on Catalina. Her evil has led her to destroy
what she loved most of all her son "Alejandro." Also, her crimes are
exposed and she is not willing to go to jail. She dresses in the blond
wig and overcoat she used to commit her crimes: she takes at once a
special drink that she has prepared to end her existence.
