Elena is a poor girl who lives with her two sisters, Chelo and Thalita, in a very bad neighborhood. Chelo works very hard so that Elena can study to be a psychologist; she wants Elena to have a real chance at life. But things begin badly when Elena is drugged and raped by a rich boy, Ernesto, whom she thought she was in love with. Ashamed and disillusioned, Elena swears she will never fall in love again. Juan Alberto Monthiel is a judge with a beautiful wife, Silvia, and a neglected son, Juanito. He believes himself to be happy until he discovers Silvia is cheating on him and kicks her out of the house, getting a divorce. A year later, Juan Alberto is a bitter man who doesn't trust women and his son is even worse, a little monster, spoiled and desperately unhappy. Elena is hired to help out Juanito, but her sweetness and beauty conquer not only the son but the father as well. Both of their wounds begin to heal. It's the beginning of a beautiful love story... if it weren't for the return of Silvia, hellbent on retrieving her ex-husband, and the reappearance of the evil Ernesto, who can so easily shatter the small thread of trust that the judge has brought to life for Elena.

In the year 1519, the Mayan priest Ahzac discovers that his daughter, Ixmy, has given herself to the love of a white man; she was destined to be sacrificed as a gift to the gods along with some gifts made of gold and with a black pearl of similar size. The maiden, having avoided her fate, invokes Ahzac's fury, who then invokes a curse upon the black pearl, saying, " Whoever has this pearl in their possession will never be able to know what happiness is!"
