Plot
editThe story begins when Victoria Balvanera (Erika Buenfil), owner of large lands and a prestigious advertising agency, suffers an attempted kidnapping on the family farm; José Ángel (Eduardo Yáñez), who comes to request the position of foreman for her, saves her from the criminals. After this altercation, Victoria decides to hire José Ángel as her bodyguard, but the time shared and the daily dealings will cause a true love to emerge between them, but impossible to confess because they are both married.
Victoria is the wife of Nelson Brizz (Guillermo Capetillo), who married her only for her interest, from this marriage a daughter, Nicole (Eiza González), was born; She is a capricious and haughty young woman who keeps her serious problem of bulimia and anorexia a secret. Nicole adores her parents and her grandfather Aníbal (Enrique Rocha), a regal, domineering and shrewd man who manipulates the lives of her daughters Victoria and Adriana (Natalia Esperón).
Victoria is married to Nelson, but when she discovers that he has a mistress and she is going to have a child from him, she requests a divorce from her, but he refuses to give it to her; on the other hand, José Ángel suffers the loss of his wife Cristina (Mónika Sánchez), who died in an accident shortly after learning that she was the daughter of Aníbal Balvanera and was the result of the relationship that her mother had with him some time ago.
Liliana (Sherlyn González), Cristina's daughter, mourns the loss of her supposed mother without knowing that her real mother is Adriana. When Liliana begins working as a gardener at the Balvanera mansion, she endures Nicole's constant rudeness and mistreatment, as Nicole insists on emphasizing their social differences. However, this dynamic shifts when Liliana discovers she is also a Balvanera, giving her the strength to compete with Nicole for the love of Francisco (Sebastián Rulli), Nicole's personal bodyguard. Despite Nicole's initial attempts to make Francisco's life miserable, she ultimately and unexpectedly falls madly in love with him.
As a result of a series of misunderstandings, Nicole marries Rogelio (Eleazar Gómez) without love believing that Francisco loves Liliana, Rogelio accepts the marriage following the instructions of his mother, since they see in Nicole the only possibility to get out of the family ruin, giving as It turned out to be hell for both of us. For her part, Francisco is forced to marry Liliana after a tragic event that left her in agony, a fact that deeply hurts Nicole, because when they meet again and after her separation with Rogelio, they both realize that they still love each other. Victoria, José Ángel, Nicole and Francisco will have to overcome the obstacles of destiny that will be the only one in charge of uniting them and achieving their True Love.
