(musical theme) this time i won't pay attention to sanity today i will give myself the dose of madness i'm missing i will leave my resignation at the door to the rules i have followed and to everything known i no longer want to please this path because i want to fall in love just by instinct without thinking about anything to share with you to be the protagonist of a new story and walk with you i seek to fall in love like when we were children reaching for clouds towards infinity to challenge fear giving everything my soul with you and give you day by day every moment of my life and be happy i don't have to hide from anything. I am a free woman and i'm not ashamed to say that i have a relationship with franco.

And i am also a free man. And i love sofia like i've never loved anyone else in my life.

I understand this isn't easy, that it will take some time for you to process it, especially you, my love. But i beg you, please, understand me.

Don't look at me like that, my love, because what i feel for franco is sincere. And i find it terrible to have to be hiding, because loving each other is not a crime.

Look, i know very well that this love will be questioned by everyone. - (snorts) especially because yes, i am from a different social class.

But i can only tell you that i, for mrs. Sofia, only have immense love and unconditional respect.

This is truly shameful. At least they didn't put on this show in front of the (...

) you have no right to claim absolutely anything, gonzalo. Sofia, you are investing in something that is already taking you downhill.

- (cries) - he managed well to conquer the millionaire. The only thing left is for him to swindle you.

One moment, sir. I love sofia for the woman she is, not for what she has.

I'm telling everyone right now, i'm not interested in a single cent from her, or from anyone. No, no, no.

What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?

No, no, no, no, no. You're upsetting my whole family.

This can no longer be hidden. That's it.

I told you this outburst had an expiration date. Now you'll see how their love devastates everyone.

Barbi, barbi, daughter, listen to me, my love. Listen to me, let's talk.

Leave my granddaughter alone. I told you this would happen.

And here it is. You hurt your own daughter.

Come on in, doña emma, as you can see, this is my humble abode. Well, since you mention it, i find it quite colorful.

Yes, that's how you make me feel, you know? You fill my life with color.

Oh, you flatter me. Well, you saw it.

We did great at the casino. Yes, well, you also make me feel very good.

But well, it's better if i leave because i've spent too much time here. No, no, no, no.

This is your home. Here you have your most faithful admirer.

Stay a little longer. Relax.

You told me you went through difficult times at work, right? Yes, even my daughter sofía asked me to take this day off.

Oh, but i don't know, i feel kind of strange not doing something useful. The same thing happens to me.

Because for years i felt that if i wasn't working and doing things, well, i was nobody. But now, now i really like being with my granddaughter, with my daughter.

I don't know. - oh...

Of course. It's just that we each carry our sorrows.

But when we're together, communicating, well, it helps us a lot to leave them behind, right? To forget them, change them.

- agreed. I want to show you something.

- yes. Surprise.

- (gasps) wow! How wonderful, mariano!

How did you do that? When my children were little and came to sleep with me, sometimes they had trouble sleeping.

So i put the stars there so we could count them together. And now, what do they mean to you?

Well, they mean there's a universe for us, emma. And i would love to explore it by your side.

You totally had it coming. How could you think of challenging bolero?

He's a deadly weapon! (groans) he has tactical training and everything.

Well, yeah, don't you start on me too. That guy made quick work of us, french and me.

- well, yes, but what did you expect? You went to pick a fight with him.

- oh, wait! - let me see.

- what else could i do? Because look, they're ruining our business.

Look, and because of him, they're cornering us. Wait!

Do you understand what...? Ah!

Do you understand what that means? If they bust me, the hustle and everything is over.

Yes? Even your little act.

Then i won't be able to pay for your university that you have, all fancy. No, no, no, no.

That can't happen. Tell me what i have to do.

Sweet dreams, my beautiful princess. Okay.

Are you going to stay the night, bole? I'd love to, beautiful, but i can't.

It's late, come on. Go to sleep.

Okay. Can i tell you a secret?

Yes, of course. I think you're the one to be my new dad.

You're handsome, smart, and a hero. Thank you.

I think that's too soon, mia, and those are adult matters. Go to sleep, my love.

I love you. - rest well.

- rest well. Rest well.

Sorry, but mia has a very imaginative mind. I love that she's like that.

That she trusts me, i think that's wonderful. Do you know what i love?

The man i'm getting to know. You seem like a very good person.

Marisol, i... I am not the man you think i am.

I... - (clears throat) youngsters, is it time to say goodbye?

Yes, sir, i'm leaving now. Excuse me.

Well... - (clears throat) - thank you.

It was a wonderful day, despite everything. - despite everything.

- thank you. - goodbye.

- i'll walk you out. No, i know the way out, sir.

Thank you. See you later.

No way, what's with that "youngsters, it's time to say goodbye"? You're going to scare away my boyfriend.

Better that way, daughter. That boy needs to know that your father is here.

Watching over you. I'm going to lock up.

How do you want me to see you? I mean, seriously, first my dad with his mistress...

And now you too. Mom, they said that kiss was artificial intelligence.

I mean, do you realize you broke all the trust we have? All i did was not ruin your wedding, that was my intention.

Don't compare me to your dad either because these are totally different situations. Oh, yeah, you think they're different.

Let's see, how long has franco been working with you? It's not like it's been a year, right?

I'm not stupid. - don't talk to me like that.

No, i'm just very disappointed. Forgive me, you're hurting me with these kinds of judgments.

Please, look. You and i have always spoken the truth to each other.

And i've always tried to understand you as a person. So i ask you to try to understand me as a woman.

Look, mom, i understand that you want to rebuild your life and whatever you want, right? But no...

I mean, with the bodyguard, seriously? No, well, i don't agree.

- why? Because he's not at my level or you think that because he's a bodyguard, he's not worthy, barbi.

Because i thought you were going to understand me. Or didn't you feel the same protection from salvador?

With salvador, nothing real ever happened, right? And as much as i wanted to be floating on clouds, i was realistic, mom.

You are the mom. I mean, why can't you be a little more grounded?

So, this means you're not going to support me in my relationship with franco. No, i don't support your relationship with franco, i'm very sorry.

You know i love you very much and i know you've been with me through very complicated times. But seriously, not this.

I will never accept franco as my stepfather. No.

We're going to talk, and we're going to talk properly, okay? Rex.

Rex, talk to me, my love. My love, at least look at me.

- i told you, dad. Now bárbara will despise you just like me.

All because you fell in love with mrs. Sofía, my aunt.

Everyone is against you, dad. Aramis, my mom.

Victorio, gonzalo. And even me.

My love, don't tell me that, please. Now more than ever i need your support.

Never. That would be like giving you a car with no brakes, dad.

You're going to crash, don't you realize? You don't realize, do you?

My love. Rex.

Rex, come here, listen to me, please. Rex!

Oh. So it was true.

Franco and mrs. Sofia are in love.

Yes. I really thought it was with mr.

Victorio. To know what all this trouble is for.

Well, i don't think anything good. Neither rex nor barbie's daughter gave their parents their blessing.

Yes. This is like a roasted chili.

It's burning hot. Okay, enough with the roasted chili.

The first thing is for you to focus on your blind date. I had already asked the boss for permission.

Again with the same thing? I don't want to go, especially with what's happening.

You're going and that's final. Look, don't deny yourself love.

Tomorrow you'll be dating and you'll be very happy. (man thinks) i'll only be happy with you, my darling.

Come on, man. You can't allow that nonsense about sofía dating pulques.

What will the shareholders, the media, the clients say? Everything will go to hell.

You can't let our investments fall apart, aramis. None of this would be happening if it weren't for your stupid carelessness.

You let my daughter discover you being unfaithful. Let's not be hypocritical.

Don't forget you didn't help me get pulques out of our lives. Now he's going after the family's money.

That's how it will be. - i confronted both of them.

And i applied the necessary pressure. Just remember that sofia is not a teenager to force her to leave gallardo.

So, you're not going to do anything? I'm surprised you can't see beyond your nose.

I'm going to explain to you how everything will be arranged. Right where it hurts sofía the most.

My granddaughter bárbara. She is the key.

What are you talking about? Barbi will never support her mother in this.

So you just have to get close to your daughter, and in a few days, that absurd romance will explode. I know you and i are very different, but we've always been able to talk things out.

I know, mom. But, i mean, seriously, this is too much.

Well, i mean, you didn't even consider me. I mean, why didn't you ask me?

Didn't you tell me something before getting involved with this man? Okay, just listen to me.

You would have rejected it the same way you're doing now. Well, i would have found out anyway.

And honestly, it really makes me angry, because you don't know all the things i've been doing for you to be well, for us to be well. I am...

In love with franco, bárbara. I've spent years feeling alone, unseen, taking refuge in this place, in writings, in paintings.

And this man... Showed me that love is possible for me.

I mean... Enough, please, just stop.

So cringey. What's cringe?

Why? Am i embarrassing you?

I mean, do you think... ...

That i no longer feel that a woman my age doesn't have the right to love? Or what?

Mom, yes, you can love, okay? But mom, just think a little.

Look, you're the ceo of a very important company. Franco is your employee.

He has nothing to offer you. What you're saying is so classist, barbi.

It's the truth. Sorry, but it's the truth, mom.

And worst of all, franco is remedios' dad and your new sister georgina's ex. I mean, do you know how your relationship looks from the outside?

My dad's actions have nothing to do with me. It's not my fault.

Yes, but your decisions don't just affect you. Okay?

I want you to know that you also have a daughter and that the things you decide also affect me and many people. Okay.

Will you let me out, please? (cries) (cries) daughter, daughter, my love.

Can we talk for a few minutes? Talk to him.

I'll wait for you here, love. I feel that it's best that we don't stay any longer.

Despite everything, i'm glad that my daughter has someone by her side of the same class, someone with whom she can speak the same language. The complete opposite of what's going to happen with your mother.

And that stinky janitor. I was sure there was something between them.

Now, at least, your mother accepted it. But soon, very soon, barbi, she's going to realize that all of this is absurd.

Dad, come on, you didn't give her many options either, honestly. I mean...

- i know. I know.

But i swear i'm not seeing any woman anymore. None, barbi.

- dad, please, stop... Don't even...

Don't even mention it. No, please.

It makes me feel really bad to talk about it. The failure of our marriage, well, it's not just my responsibility.

Your mom also neglected me, please understand. I didn't dare to air a relationship.

But your mother... Holding franco's hand in front of everyone.

Putting on such a shameful show. Dad, please, stop, you don't have to repeat what i saw myself, okay?

Barbi, it's good that you understand. Because then you'll agree with me that that man, a mockery of a sentinel, played the hero in front of your mother.

But he's... He's an abuser, bárbara.

It's obvious that he only wants to gain something. He's a social climber.

He's crazy. He knew how to exploit your mother's vulnerability, that's all.

That's why her obsession to protect him, that's all. He's a calculating scoundrel, barbi.

- daddy, i know, look... - i...

Bárbara. I'm not a monster.

Truly, believe me. Look what your mother did.

She put franco, her conquest, above everyone else. Even above yourself.

- enough, please, enough. Don't get me started anymore, okay?

My head's in a knot. Please.

Barbi. Beyond my own issues, i want you to know that i will never abandon you.

I am your father and above all... I will be with you until the day i die.

I know, daddy. Oh, good evening.

Good evening, sir. (barbara) yes, but your decisions don't just affect you.

I want you to know that you also have a daughter and that the things you decide also affect me and many people. (knocking at the door) no.

I'm not pulques and i'm really sorry. Oh, you're so inconvenient.

No. I suppose you must be very happy now, right?

Barbi already told me she doesn't support me nor will she support me in my relationship with franco. Sofia, i will never feel happy seeing you or my daughter suffer.

And truly believe me, i admit my mistake for letting myself be carried away by hormones. But barbi, her whole life will depend on us.

Now she doesn't even want to see us. Hmm, i don't know why you're saying that when in reality we never mattered enough to you.

Sofia, you witnessed my happiness when you got pregnant. And when bárbara was born.

The last thing i want is for you to experience a fracture that is irreparable, truly, believe me. I just came to tell you that i'm going to be close to my daughter.

And if i came back to live here, it was to try to protect you both from what i call, how can i put it, a kind of invasion. You are a sensible, generous, and supportive woman.

And i know perfectly well that you will be able to straighten your path. Excuse me, sofía.

(cries) cry. Cry, as much as you need, let it all out.

I still haven't gotten used to barbi being gone from the house. And now...

That i feel... Her disappointment, her rejection, i think i'm going to lose her.

And i don't want to lose my baby, catalina. I don't want to lose my baby.

Oh, jochis, i hadn't noticed you've been working out. Your pectorals and triceps look very good.

Vas a dejar bien enamorado a tu cita. (ríe) eh, cariñito.

Digo, yo no sé nada de modas y todo esto, pero sí, yo siento que a los hombres con el pelo nos vemos mejor, ¿no? Exacto.

El hombre como el oso, mientras más peludo, más sabroso. Pero acá a los jochis les gusta más depilado.

(balbucea) ya tú cállate, solomino. Oye, cariño.

Es que cuando dijiste eso de ponerme bello, pues no me imaginé nada de esto. ¿no crees que estás exagerando?

No, no estoy exagerando un poquito, jochis. Te vas a ver más bello sin vello.

Pay attention. - go, go, go, go.

Ready? On the count of one.

One. (scream) (screams) my hair...

Oh, my jochis, my jochis, and wait for the brazilian. No, what brazilian, no.

I'm not going there. - oh!

Don't chicken out. The first part is the hardest and you already got through it.

- (man) no, no... - (woman) no, don't pretend.

I bought the wax. (laughs) i am a free woman and i'm not ashamed to say that i have a relationship with franco.

Barbi. Hello, barbi, how are you?

Hey, first of all, i want to thank you for everything you're doing for our families. Especially now that people are going to start to boast against the peralta avitia family because of this very uncomfortable situation with your mom and this guy gallardo.

Vic. I'm a mess.

I mean, i still don't understand what's happening, what danger my family is in. What was the point of me marrying carlo?

We're already here, i feel like... - what was the point?

Look, simply by getting married, all our shares went up. They went up a lot, we are in heaven.

And as you may have noticed, there hasn't been another attack against your mom or against you. And why is that?

Because they know we are here, the curis, who form a protective barrier with us. I know you're very stressed about your mom.

I can perfectly understand you. But you have to know that there are many people who want to kill your grandfather.

And they won't do it. Because they know we are here and they know that we, the curis, will look for them and we will find them.

That's why they will think very carefully before making another attack again. Okay.

And what do i do? What...

What's next? I want you to take care of your mother's image.

How? Now that everyone knows she chose a partner far below her standards, i want you to set the course of what is socially acceptable.

With a solid, integral, loving, united marriage, with carlito. - where did you go?

- ah. For a second i thought you were somewhere else.

With this return to mexico, my mind goes from one place to another. Almost always it goes back to childhood.

Can you believe it? I...

Always thought there were only those four walls where i lived. And look.

I never imagined there was a huge world ready for me, to enjoy. That's why i love to travel.

Things changed for you. Yes, yes.

It was more than 20 surgeries. Do you know what that's like?

For a girl who only wants to go out, run, play, 20. Hey.

That's enough. I grew up alone, valentino.

Without a home, without a family, without a mommy to come and say goodnight to me because she had stayed with the perfect one, with sofía. I didn't need it.

(crying) (crying) it's okay, everything's going to be okay. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

I grew up and lived in pain... Thinking that life was just that.

Physical, emotional pain, psychological. Hey.

I'm sorry. That must be terrible.

I was an experiment where the goal was to become perfect. But the goal never came.

No matter how much i cried, no matter how much i begged. (sighs) cry if you need to.

You don't always have to be strong, powerful. You can trust me and say anything.

Andromeda, i admire you. I love you.

- oh, no. No.

No, don't say that. Don't get confused.

It's not good for you, valentino. After everything i've told you, i don't know where you think...

Do you think i want love? I decided a long time ago that i wasn't going to love anyone.

I love pleasure, playing, winning. You men always think you can use women, right?

Unfortunately, you're a man and, well, you do it one way or another. It's just that i decided, honey, to change the game on you.

Here, i'm the one who plays with them. To what do i owe the honor of your presence?

I thought you'd never visit me again with that about you being very happy living with your ex. Let's see, let's see, let's see.

Save that jealousy for another day. Because i need us to focus.

We must get rid of georgina as soon as possible. - and what made you decide that?

- what do you mean, what? She's a total nuisance.

(catalina) "wait in the park near your house. Come alone, please.

I'll come to you. " (man) my love.

Catalina. - what's up, machuqui?

- what's up? Nothing, i came to talk to my mom, but no, i...

I can't. Damn, yeah, i get it.

I feel like what's happening to both of us is like a race without brakes, right? I'm going to go for a ride now.

Well, you know what? For a moment, i'm going to forget that we had a fight the other day, and i'm coming with you.

- no way, really? - yeah, or what?

Or are you scared? - i won't be scared.

Come on, get on the bike before i change my mind, huh? - okay.

- let me get on first, so you don't fall. Alright.

Alright then. I thought you were dead.

And i should have been. It was difficult, but i had to escape because i knew if i stayed, i would put you at risk.

How can you tell me that? How can you tell me that?

I was looking for you for years, years, and now you come to tell me that you left of your own free will. I even blamed my father for your death.

I know, catalina, and you have every right to be angry with me. But please, please, give me the chance...

To explain everything to you, please. Please.

Catalina. - good morning.

- good day, they are waiting for me. - come in.

- thank you. Why did i accept this date?

You see what i do for you, darling of my heart. According to you, i'm very handsome.

(woman) jochis, be very careful. Your date is going to wear a red jacket.

As long as it's not santa claus. Hello.

I'm here. Hello.

Georgina, what are you doing here? Really, thank you so much.

- thank you. - you came all this way.

I understand you have a lot going on, but i'm under a lot of pressure. Can you summarize these test results for me, please?

You're about to enter menopause. In the previous stage, perimenopause.

But... So soon?

That's why you have hot flashes, insomnia, bad moods, weakness. But...

The issue was that i have pains and that has nothing to do with it. I'm going to be very direct, sofía.

I didn't like the lab results at all. I need to do an ultrasound on you today.

That's why i brought my things. But how, is it serious?

Until we see the studies, we won't know. Your uterus is full of fibroids.

We can't let this progress, sofía. Let's see...

But this can't wait any longer. Do you have to operate on me?

- if you want me to be honest. - please.

I have to remove your uterus. I really don't like the idea of losing my uterus.

It's full of fibroids. We can't let this progress, sofi.

I won't be able to get pregnant, clearly, right? Obviously not.

What i'm going to remove is the uterus. I know, i know.

We're not going to touch your ovaries. And thinking about getting pregnant right now is putting yourself at high risk.

Look, it's not that i want to have a child. I already have barbi, who is my miracle, but the idea of...

Well, this, that i won't... Never again...

It's strange, right? No...

Forgive me, i'm kind of digesting the news. Sorry, huh?

What the f--- are you doing? Have you gone crazy or what?

Don't tell me you don't crave it. Let go of me!

Let go of me, georgina! Someone might see us!

There are people everywhere in this mansion. There are cameras too.

Please... Don't you remember...?

Let go of me, let go of me! You're talking about the past, georgina.

And how many times do i have to tell you that what we had is over? Forget my mistakes, franco.

We can start over. All of this can be ours.

Restart, clean slate. Georgina, my story with you is over.

We lost one baby and raised another. But i lost you when you decided to be with someone else.

I made a mistake. Why can't you forgive me?

Huh? Why?

And what about sofia? The saint?

The perfect woman? For her, you would face the whole world?

Don't drag her into this, you have no right. And you?

Have you been honest with me? Do you have a clear conscience, franco?

Of course, because i've been clear with you. And i've always told you things.

I'm tired of living in war, georgina. I also have money now.

I have power. My father can force you to stay with me if i want.

You don't know. You don't know what he's capable of.

I don't know you, georgina. The person i once loved no longer exists.

Being aramis's daughter doesn't give you any right to stop me, to meddle in my privacy and tell me anything. You know what?

Get out. Out.

Out of the bathroom. Come on, georgina.

Come on. - you're going to regret it.

- go on. - (aramis) franco.

- it's your dad. (aramis) franco, i need to talk to you.

That's why i couldn't tell you anything. Because i knew that if i looked for you, your father would kill me.

I was so scared. - i cried for you.

I cried for you so many times. I used to wonder if you were alive, where you were, if you knew what had happened with our daughter.

If you thought of me. Every second.

Catalina, with every breath i think of you, of us. And you took so long to come back.

When candelaria looked for me to tell me what was happening with your family, i knew i couldn't be away for another minute. Catalina, my...

My life went out after you. But now, having you in front of me, i feel that...

That i still have hope. I don't know what i feel.

I don't know what i feel. But i do know that i'm very angry.

I hate that you left like that. I hate that you were such a coward.

That's not the man i fell in love with. I know.

The day of the assault, we were parked in your car. It was raining.

I still remember the rain as if it were yesterday. I remember the smell too.

The rain. The night.

The pain. I saw the figure approaching, i saw the tree.

And in that instant i knew the bullet was for me. Because i was the one who should have been meeting.

In the hospital, i didn't see you anymore. When i got out of the car, i discovered that your father was the one who had shot.

He was in such shock for having hurt you that he... He spared my life.

He told me to get out of there, but if he saw me again, he would hunt me like a dog. I don't understand why he told you that.

I don't know. But you don't know the guilt i've felt since that day.

I should have... I should have confronted him, i should have, i don't know, killed him.

But i was so scared for you. Seeing you hurt.

All i wanted was to get you to the hospital. And our baby...

I don't know how to tell you this. Our little girl is alive.

I know. I...

I've been secretly following you and i heard you say it. If you truly love me, help me find our daughter.

And when we do... Help me kill my father.

What did the doctor tell you? That i'm entering perimenopause.

And that i have some fibroids. Which means they're going to remove my uterus.

And it weighs on me more than i thought, nana. Because...

(laughs) it's not that i want another child. Well, that's what i thought.

But the body... The body doesn't ask.

It doesn't know if you've already decided one thing or another. Well, it hurts because...

I spent years trying to get pregnant, to have babies with me that no one cried over. You remember, right?

When gonzalo told me not to exaggerate. And my dad also told me the same thing.

And to be grateful for what i had. And i am grateful, you know?

Yes, but god never let go of you. In fact, he sent you barbi, who is the joy of your life.

She is my blessing. She is my existence.

But... It's just that i wasn't ready to receive this news.

Because now that... I feel so...

"energized" to love... When i'm loving without fear...

My body is already telling me that too much time has passed. And it hurts, nana.

Oh. But fortunately, you're already a mother.

Yes, i know. I know, i know.

Franco also has that experience. And now what's left for the two of you is to discover, to renew the way you love as a couple.

Yes, nana. But it's not the same to no longer be able as to no longer want.

I've already grown. Listen to me, give yourself the opportunity.

And let someone else hold you. Give yourself the chance.

I'm here, my love. Don't cry.

You took so long... I thought you'd come out dressed.

(franco) it's just that i don't like to bring my uniform into the bathroom because it gets damp with the steam. And honestly, i thought in this space i would have more privacy.

Whose was the other voice i heard? (franco) nobody's, sir.

Sometimes i like to sing while i shower or i also turn on the radio to listen to the news. What if i open it and find someone?

(franco) go ahead. Protect me from myself kiss me hard just give me time i know you feel what i feel soft and slow protect me from myself don't let go of me take care of me
