But Doña Lucrecia begins to make his life a living hell for him when she finds out that Sebastián has fallen in love with Maria Liz, and she loves him back. Doña Lucrecia wants the economic security and the social level that Maria Liz obtains that the selfish and superficial Araceli would give him, thus she is allied with Rosalía, who always hated María Liz because Dr. Arnaldo Herrera is in love with her when Rosalía loved him. In spite of the obstacles that Araceli, Lucrecia and Rosalía put to them to test their love, they do not manage to separate them. They decide to get married and problems begin when the villainous Luciano sets a trap for Miguel Augusto that made him commit suicide. Seabastián married María Liz at the wedding and she is in love with him. Mariano falls in love with María Liz, who discovers that she has gotten pregnant by Sebastián.

Because of her ties with Luciano, Lucrecia loses her entire fortune and is reduced to being a washerwoman for her sister Doña Flor Mendez, but the experience changes her for the better, and insists on doing it as the only way she knows how to repair the damage she's done.
Finally, Maria Liz and Sebastián Monte y Valle live happily ever after with their new families and friends.
