Carlos Alberto receives the resignation of his secretary, who assures that he will take care of his sick mother so the man has to use Doris, Bruno's secretary, who gladly takes care of his affairs while he finds a new secretary, although beforehand recommends Ligia, ensuring that she is a working woman whom she can train to keep the job.

Aura Cristina is a vain and frivolous woman who lives fearful that one day her husband will stop loving her because she knows she is an attractive man and there are many women who would give everything to be with someone like him. She and Fabiola organize a birthday party for Valeria, daughter of Aura Cristina and Carlos Alberto, to whom the wife warns and overprotects, to the extent of overwhelming him.

Valeria is a noble and responsible girl, dedicated to good manners and having a courtship with Sebastian, the son of Fabiola and Bruno. Old acquaintances come to her celebration, among them Paz, Aura de Aura Cristina, who warns the woman that, although her husband looks like the exemplary man, she should not trust him because all men have secrets and sooner or later they end up cheating on their women . Fabiola intervenes and advises women not to be reflected in others, because not all women have to go through their bitter experience.

Ligia Sandoval meets Ernesto Salgado, an attentive and handsome neighbor who is a chef and has a restaurant nearby, where he invites her to eat. The man discovers that the woman is fragile and has great suffering, so she offers her friendship, seduced by her fragility.

Full of bitterness, Paz remembers the times her husband cheated on her until she died in the arms of one of her lovers. She is interrupted by Jorge, her son, who presents her with Teresa, of whom she confesses in love. Alone, the woman lets her offspring know that she will never allow her to relate to a woman inferior to them.

Sebastián and Valeria decide to surrender their love tenderly, swearing that they will always love each other and nothing and no one will separate them.

Aura Cristina is tormented by her aunt Paz's assumptions and asks Carlos Alberto if he has ever been unfaithful. The man denies it and early, at dawn, he goes to play sports and decides to go through a market to buy snacks. There he runs into Ligia, who throws the bread he has just bought.

The girl asks her to be patient with her friend and do not scare her because she has just gone through a terrible love affair. Ernesto is willing to conquer the woman, whom he visits but she knows his intentions and makes it clear that they will never be anything more than acquaintances, because she is not interested in making friends.

Bruno confesses to Fabiola that, despite being like a brother to Carlos Alberto, he wants to grow economically, so he hopes to become independent with everything and his client portfolio. The ambitious Fabiola supports him and believes that their time comes to all and just like the De La Bercena the success accompanied them for many years, perhaps the time has come for that fate to abandon them.

Teresa convinces Ligia to come talk to Carlos Alberto to convince him that she is the ideal to fill the position of secretary. An appointment is made and when Ligia and the architect meet again, they are silenced by the great attraction that has been born in both. She tries to run away but he takes her in his arms and asks her to talk and forget the incident in the market. She resists but the man asks her that she needs the job and he from a new secretary whom she can trust so that the woman finally stays and begins to be trained by Teresa, who is happy knowing that the woman is her friend and new coworker, who to everyone's surprise performs very well in a short time and becomes the favorite of customers, especially Carlos Alberto, to whom Bruno asks if he has noticed how beautiful the woman is. The architect says that his secretary attracts him but he could never disrespect him and less be unfaithful to Regina.

Paz offers Teresa money to stay away from Jorge forever, ensuring that they cannot be together because they are different. Teresa defends her love and lets the woman know that she will not give up Jorge unless he gives her reasons to do so. He tells the man what has happened and he discusses with his mother, to which he warns that if he insists on getting into his life, he will leave his side and never hear from him again.

Ligia and Aura Cristina know each other without sympathizing with each other. When Teresa knows, she tells Aura Cristina the terrible life of her friend, while Aura Cristina, jealous for the beauty of Ligia, advises her to find happiness in a man who really loves her and wants to protect her. This makes Ligia go to Ernesto, who tries to kiss her but she sees in him the image of Ignacio, so he rejects it.

Aura Cristina discovers that she has an incurable disease and it is Fabiola who is the only one who confesses it, begging him not to say anything to anyone. The evil Fabiola goes to Nora Villarreal, a woman who has always been in love with Carlos Alberto and despite not having a good relationship with Aura Cristina if she has one with her, who assures her that it is never too late to try to recover what she thought was lost.

Aura Cristina ventures with Paz, who only poisons her soul and convinces her that her husband has a lover and that she must be Nora Villarreal, the climber who has always been behind him. The aunt advises her niece to cling to her daughter and not forgive her husband, because if he forgives her once he will end up always personing him. Upon returning home, Aura Cristina argues with Carlos Alberto, who demands that he sleep in another room. Valeria intervenes and suffers when her mother reveals that the man has a lover. Carlos Alberto feels helpless because he knows that is not true but in his solitude he only thinks of Ligia.

Ernesto does not stop thinking about Ligia and relieves his feeling with Oscar, his friend, who assures him that if Ligia was once a lover of a married man he will do it again because those types of women do not waste time trying on men of whom They don't know what they can offer them and they are safe. Ernesto insists that the woman is different but Oscar doubts it.

Both argue and she threatens him with a firearm, confessing he has nothing to lose because he is incarcerated and about to die. He begs her to speak like civilized people but she does not understand reasons and, blinded by rage and despair, she releases two shots and then, terrified, run away, while Ligia, scared, believes that something has happened and manages to open the bathroom door to search all over the house for his beloved, whom he finds dying on the floor.
