Plot

Marina is a young, beautiful girl who just lost her mother and her house. Her rich father never acknowledged her but her uncle, who was madly in love with her mother, always took care of Marina from afar until he promised her mother while on her death bed that he would watch over Marina. When Marina moved to her uncle's mansion, she met her future husband Ricardo, who currently is unhappily married to Adriana. Adriana is having an affair with many men, including Ricardo's best friend, Julio. She hates Marina because she notices that her husband is falling in love with her. Julio and Adriana plot to kill Marina, but all attempts fail; instead Julio is thought to be dead after he is caught kidnapping Marina and then throws himself off a cliff. Adriana is then asked to leave the mansion by Marina's uncle. Instead she tries to kill Ricardo, but when that fails she runs out of the house and gets killed in a horrible car accident. Before she dies she confesses to Ricardo all of the affairs she had and admits that the baby she was expecting was Julio's and not his. This news left Ricardo very insecure. Later Ricardo and Marina get married. Two months later, Marina and Ricardo return from their honeymoon. Ricardo leaves her because he thinks she's unfaithful, which in reality is a scheme his mother devised. She becomes pregnant during their honeymoon but when she leaves her house to attend her baby shower, Julio returns and scares her. She is taken by a woman to a charity hospital and gives birth. She is in a state of shock and when she is released from the hospital she feels lost and confused. Her baby is taken by Julio, who is wearing a mask, to a dumpster where a woman finds the baby and takes him home. Her husband soon finds out the pictures were fake and takes her back despite her instability. Ricardo tries to give Marina an adopted baby girl; at first she refuses, thinking of her son, but at last accepts to make her husband happy. As the time passes Mariana still thinks about her son, but everyone believes her son died. Ricardo, is starting to get tired of her depression and he is starting to seek affection in Sara.... More to come.
