Overview
In her youth, Aurora became engaged to Antonio Murrieta, who loves her deeply. Aurora's sister Jezabel, seeing her happiness, is filled with jealousy which causes her to devise the unthinkable with the intention of destroying her. At the height of her resentment, Jezabel puts Aurora in the hands of a bricklayer nicknamed El Pintas, who rapes her, impregnating her with a son to be named Gabriel. Jezabel's manipulations and lies cause Antonio to abandon Aurora, with Gabriel in her arms, on their wedding day. Blinded by his sexism, Miguel, Aurora's father, snatches her son from her and gives him to Pascual Santos, who raises him with his wife Victoria. Twenty-nine years later, Gabriel is now Ángel Santos, a humbly educated man, but with the strongest family values. Despite all the years that have passed, Aurora does not lose hope of finding her son Gabriel and discovers that she can love again thanks to Julio César Rey, a lawyer at Corporativo Campero, where she is president.
