One of the hoodlums feels sorry for her and helps her to run away. When she returns, she finds her aunt dying. Her aunt tells her that she'll only be safe if she will live with the Serrano family. When she arrives at the house, everyone receives her with open arms except the lady of the house, Apolonia. While attending college, Natalia meets Eduardo, a man who falls deeply in love with her, but when she meets his brother Sebastián, it's love at the first sight.
