- okay, there too. - rodrigo?

- what are you doing? - giving you this surprise, marle.

Wow, it's amazing. Marlene.

In all this time that we've been dating, i've fallen in love with you. You have become my whole universe to me.

I love you too, rodrigo. Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Of course, of course i want to be your girlfriend! Let's take our first selfie as boyfriend and girlfriend, okay?

- of course. - you take it?

- sure. Another one.

I'm very happy, marlene agreed to be my girlfriend. That's great.

Your grandmother and i saw the photo you uploaded to your profile. You look very happy, i'm very happy, son.

Well, i don't agree. That girl is not the one for you, rodrigo.

You haven't even treated her, grandma. I don't need to treat her, it shows that she is not of our class.

She oozes commonness. I'm not going to pay attention to your prejudices.

You're going to do it. You are a lazcano and by your side you must have a woman with category, of our position.

This decision is mine! And it's your problem if you don't accept it.

See you, rodrigo. Did you send for me, bruna?

Mrs. Bruna.

You can't address me informally. You are an employee, like anyone else.

Because that's how you insist on keeping me, even though i have rights. You have no right.

All you have is the last name that my late husband took pity on giving you. Because you are the daughter of his lover.

Yes. My mom and dad offended you with their relationship.

But you don't have to project your hatred on me, nor take away the legitimate right i have to participate in an executive way in the company. My husband was very clear in his will.

The president of the company would be the first of his children to give him a grandson of his blood. And that was santiago.

And you should thank him, that he inherited the chicken heart of his father and advocated for you, so that we would give you a job and you would have a salary to live with dignity. Lucía, there's no point in you two continuing to argue about the same thing.

So get to work, and correct these reports that you gave me because you did a very bad job. If you don't want me to deduct from your salary for inefficiency.

You'll have them today, mrs. Bruna.

You shouldn't continue to be so invasive with other people's lives, mom. And especially my son's.

Of course i'm going to get involved in rodrigo's life. I did it in your life, and look how well it went for you.

For you, your wife, and your son. So you're the least qualified to come at me with complaints, santiago.

How i wish you were here. Next to me, instead of seeing you through the camera.

I wish i was too, i'm so happy when we're together, when we make love, i wish i could stay in your arms forever. I'm sure that's how it will be.

When we finish our degrees. You have less time left, huh.

I'm two years behind you. That doesn't matter, you are...

... My whole universe.

And i'll wait as long as it takes, to sleep and wake up by your side. I love you.

I love you, rodrigo. Our son told me what happened with my mother-in-law in your office.

Oh, you know what bruna correa is like, my love. Yes, and that's why i appreciate even more that you try to defend rodrigo, even though he doesn't have your blood.

I'm the one who will never tire of thanking you for fulfilling my dream of being a dad, even though i'm sterile. And because of my condition, i was very bad in the past and...

... We almost got divorced.

We both did things we shouldn't have before rodrigo was born. We were going through a marital crisis.

And that night i went out to clear my head, i had no idea that in the club, i was going to run into osvaldo, my ex. - you loved him a lot.

- yes. And between the alcohol and how vulnerable i felt because of the problems i had with you, i ended up sleeping with him.

Osvaldo is rodrigo's biological father. Yes, but i am his real father.

Because that's what i wanted, i raised him, i provided for him, i educated him. That's right.

Osvaldo didn't even find out that i was pregnant. I didn't get to tell him because he was killed in a robbery, before i could talk to him.

And you were so understanding. You suggested that we give our marriage a second chance.

And i told you that i would be the father of the baby that was on the way. And you know why i did it?

Because i love you and i love my son. I hope you really didn't feel that i took advantage of the situation.

- no, never, never. And now, as the years have passed, i realize that it was the best decision we could have made.

Because rodrigo is a healthy, well-raised, happy young man. It was the best decision.

Good morning, ma'am. I'm late for an important meeting, tomás.

So hurry up so we can get to the company quickly. As you wish.

- good afternoon. - oh, we'll talk later.

Lucía. The reports were very clear and were a great help in the meeting we had.

I didn't want to disappoint mrs. Bruna correa.

Lucía, i have nothing against you. We haven't spent much time together, but you are my father's daughter, you are my sister...

I don't have anything personal against you either, santiago. And i know you do things, not because you want to bother me, but because you don't have the character to prevent your mother from bossing you around.

I like to keep the peace, unlike you. Well, yes, you may be the president of the company, but the one who really holds the reins and makes the decisions is bruna correa.

Just like in your life. It's a very nice afternoon for you to spend in the pool.

I'm glad my son thought of inviting you. - thank you, ma'am.

Don't think i'm going to stay here and get in the way, huh. - oh, mom, don't say that.

- i'm going to the mall. So you guys have fun with confidence.

- see you later, bye. - take care, mom.

- well, let's go, shall we? - mmmm.

Two, three. Hey, it's almost time for me to leave, huh.

I have to take a bath to get ready. Well, we're alone.

How about we go take a bath together in my shower in the bedroom? - mmmm, bet accepted.

Good afternoon. - who are you looking for?

- i've come to look for... I think i know her.

Are you adriana? Yes, i'm adriana.

It's me, osvaldo. Osvaldo?

No. Yes, it's me.

Adriana, are you okay? React.

Adriana, are you okay? Adriana.

What happened, why did she faint? I don't know, honey, we barely exchanged a couple of words before she lost consciousness.

Thank you very much, mr. Osvaldo, for helping her.

I'm going to get alcohol and water. We're leaving so you can take care of her.

Call me if anything happens, my love. Mom, mom.

- you're awake. - what happened to me?

How do you feel? Who was that man, why was he in this house?

- tell me, tell me. - mom, calm down, calm down.

He came to pick up marlene. Mr.

Osvaldo is my girlfriend's father. Adriana, rodrigo just told me that you're not going out to dinner, and that you've been very strange since you recovered from the fainting spell.

I've been a nervous wreck ever since. But why, what happened?

Osvaldo is alive. What, how?

How is osvaldo alive? I don't understand what happened either, santiago, but osvaldo is alive.

But... But we knew he had died.

Well no, he didn't die! I saw him myself, here in our house.

And what was he doing here? He came to pick up marlene.

He's her father. Rodrigo is in love with osvaldo's daughter.

He's in love with his sister. I ordered you to come to the office so we can talk coldly.

I can't, i didn't even sleep. You have to control yourself, adriana.

You were very nervous at breakfast. And we mustn't arouse suspicion.

Suspicion? What are you talking about?

We can't hide this anymore, rodrigo has to know the truth. - i forbid you!

I forbid you to say a single word. - are you crazy?

- adriana, please. There's no way, santiago.

The moment of truth has arrived. And it's not because rodrigo's real father is alive, but because he's in love with his sister.

It can't be known that rodrigo doesn't have lazcano blood. We'd lose everything!

Lucía has children who are grandchildren of my husband, by blood. And she would surely challenge to stay with the presidency.

I don't care about the presidency, or the money... But we do!

It's the only thing that matters. And with respect to that little commoner...

... Well, what we have to do is separate her from rodrigo.

We'll send him abroad to finish his studies there. He's young, he can fall in love with someone who is at his level, and who will remember the scholarship girl.

But no one, no one can know that santiago is sterile and that rodrigo is not his son. - well, no, i don't agree.

- you don't have to be. You just have to do what i say.

You both have to do it. Because i'd rather die than allow the daughter of my husband's lover to be at the head of the company.

Rodrigo already sent me a message that his mom is better. Oh, that's good, that's good.

Hey, dad, so you're saying that you already knew mrs. Adriana?

Yes, honey, we studied together in middle school and high school. We were boyfriend and girlfriend.

The last time we saw each other was about... ...

About 20 years ago, before i met your mom. Even before i was mugged and was about to die.

Why didn't you keep in touch? Well, actually, we didn't end up as anything, not even as friends.

And the last time we saw each other was casually, because we met in a nightclub and... Each to their own life.

Here you go, kids. So you can have breakfast and go to school.

Here you go. Mmmm, it looks delicious.

Mom. What did you put in the egg?

Nothing, honey, i prepared it as always. Oh, just smelling it makes me want to...

Is she still sick to her stomach? I think we should take her to the doctor, she might have an infection.

- yes, let me go with her. Hey, come eat, we have to go to school.

- i can't believe it. - do you know what you're going to do?

Marlene. See you.

- see you, rodrigo. - take care, ivette.

What happened? Do you have the result of the pregnancy test?

Yes. It's positive.

Rodrigo, i'm pregnant. - and are you upset about it?

- yes. No.

Well, i don't know. What do you think?

I understand that it freaks us out, but i'm also happy that we're going to have a child. Yes, i'm also happy in part.

Yes. I know we were waiting to finish our degrees, to have experience working...

... But a child...

... Far from being an impediment to our dreams, is one more reason to fulfill them.

So, do you agree that we have this baby? Of course!

I have no doubt that you are the love of my life. You are the whole universe to me.

And i will always be with you. And even more so now that we're going to be parents.

I love you, rodrigo. Mom?

Did you feel bad again? I went to ask about you, they told me you hadn't left the room.

I'm just tired. Okay.

I've come to tell you news that will inject you with a lot of joy and excitement. - what happened?

- i'm going to be a dad! Marlene is expecting a child of mine!

No, no, no, no. It can't be, no!

No, no, this is an aberration! - it can't be, no!

- mom, mom, mom. What's going on, what are you talking about?

Son, you have to know the truth. I can't keep hiding it anymore!

You are not santiago's son. Your real father is osvaldo.

Marlene and you are siblings! I can't believe it!

Everything you've told me about my origin! We hid the truth believing it would be forever.

But no, the moment to know it always comes. I feel like...

Like my whole world, my whole universe, has vanished. - santiago is not my father.

- yes, he is! He received you with affection, with love, with care.

You yourself verified it during all these years, it's not a lie! It's a lot of pain.

- i understand you, son. - no.

You won't understand it. I don't even want you to imagine it.

I got my sister pregnant! What are you planning to do?

I don't know, i don't know. I don't know what to do about the love i feel for my sister.

- i don't know what to do for my son. - forgive me, son, forgive me.

Forgive us. Forgive us...

Forgive me. You're stupid!

You didn't have to tell rodrigo the truth! I had to tell him.

He's expecting a child with his sister, doesn't he realize? Adriana is right, mom.

- what else should we expect? - don't you give your opinion.

If you're going to do it infected by your wife's stupidity. We thought that hiding the truth was the most convenient for everyone.

But, now, we are paying the price of that mistake. The mistake was that you confessed without thinking.

There are ways to fix things. But of course.

You need to be intelligent. Rodrigo's real father turned out to be alive.

My son fell in love with his sister. And now they are both expecting a baby.

The truth is the only way we can get out as little hurt as possible and we can heal. I'm going to take care of fixing everything.

I warn you that i will not allow you to hurt my son. Rodrigo will have enough money to heal from whatever.

But that things continue in the place they are, things continue. And stop complaining because thanks to me, your little son and you have enjoyed a privileged position for many years.

You should thank me that i'm going to take care of keeping it did you ask me to come, ma'am? Yes, tomas, come in and close.

Tell me, i'm here to serve you. I just sent to your cell phone, the photo of rodrigo's girlfriend.

She's very pretty. Man you will stop being.

I want you to watch her. Wait for her outside the university, and at the first opportunity you have, get rid of her.

- did you understand? - perfectly.

With permission. - clown, literal, literal.

- rodrigo. What do you want?

Explain to me why you don't answer my video calls nor do you answer my messages. You even ignore me.

You're not like that. I'm with my friends, don't bother me.

I'm not leaving here until you explain to me what's wrong with you. It happens that i'm bored of you and that this is no longer being fun.

You can't be talking seriously. Who understands you?

Don't you want me to tell you what's wrong with me? But we love each other.

We're going to have a child. We're going?

No, look. You better go find another one to take care of that child.

Did you seriously think you were going to tie me down with that pregnancy to secure your future? Well, no.

My grandmother is right. You're just using me to climb socially, but your little game is not going to work out.

You're a jerk. I never imagined you were going to treat me this way.

Humiliating me, breaking my heart. Seriously, you even fooled me, man.

My friend didn't deserve to be humiliated like that in front of everyone. Marlene, wait, please.

Friend, come, come, please. Marlene, wait, come back.

Let's talk. Marlene, let's talk, come here.

Marlene, be careful, be careful! No, help!

Friend, please answer! Someone, an ambulance, quickly!

Friend, friend, please answer. Help me, call an ambulance or something!

Friend! How is she, marlene?

How is the baby? You are a wretch.

No, no, don't hit him, no. Calm down, we are in a hospital.

Now what matters is that our daughter is saved. Tell me, please, how is marlene?

You have nothing to do here. You humiliated my daughter, causing her great pain.

- let me explain. - get out, i don't want to see you.

You've already done too much damage, please leave. Believe me, i am sincerely worried about her.

Get out. From the bottom of my heart, i hope she's okay.

Let's go, mom. No, i'm staying, son, please.

I would like to talk to you. No, no, i want to be here, paying attention to any news about my daughter.

I know you are going through a difficult time, but believe me, what i have to tell you is important. Go, osvaldo, i'll stay here on the lookout.

I'll let you know if anything happens. Okay, fine, let's go.

Let's go. Rodrigo was wrong in the way he treated marlene.

My son loves her sincerely. She is his whole universe.

Don't keep advocating for your son, adriana. I understand because you are his mother, but rodrigo is a wretch.

No, no, no, don't say that. Rodrigo did what he did because he is very affected.

Because the love between marlene and him is impossible and he doesn't know what to do about it. How is it impossible?

Until before the accident, everything was fine between them. Yes, but rodrigo didn't know the truth that would change everything.

What truth? That marlene and he are siblings.

That you are the real father of rodrigo. It can't be, how?

I got pregnant that night we met at the club. And that was the last time we saw each other.

I wanted to tell you, but i found out that you had died in an assault and i lived with that idea all this time. No, no, i was one step from death, but i survived.

I never thought you would get pregnant. Had i known, i would have looked for you, i would have recognized it.

I understand that, as marlene's father, you are angry with rodrigo, but you have to understand him. He is distraught with the idea that she falls in love with his sister.

That she is going to have a child with his sister. And if he humiliated her at the university, it was because he preferred to disappoint her rather than upset her with the truth.

Take me to your house, i have to talk to rodrigo. I don't know if it's a good idea.

If you don't come with me, i'm going to look for him on my own. Okay, okay, yes, okay, let's go.

Virgin of guadalupe, help me to live. I ask you.

Help me to recover. I want to live for my son, little virgin.

And to know the truth of why rodrigo treated me like that. Our love could not have been false.

There must be an explanation. I beg you, my mother.

You didn't want marlene to be run over, son. You'll see that you'll have a chance to explain all this to her.

Don't blame yourself. I behaved like an idiot.

I shouldn't have treated her like that. It hurt me a lot to do it, i'm sorry.

You'll see that you'll have an opportunity to explain all this to her. I don't know if i can tell her the truth.

It's very painful. I don't even know if i can handle the truth that i fell in love with my sister.

That i'm going to have a child with her. I don't know what to do.

I'm going to give you a bonus for following my orders, tomás. I appreciate it, ma'am.

All that's left is to make the idea with which we have lived all these years a reality. So that everything continues as always.

I'm ready to obey you, ma'am. Rodrigo must be in his room.

Let's go. Rodrigo arrived very badly.

He told me that you had stayed in the hospital. Yes, he is osvaldo and i already told him the whole truth.

You're stupid. I told you to keep quiet.

I don't plan to keep this truth hidden anymore for my son's sake. I'm going to talk to rodrigo.

- you're not going to talk to anyone. - he's my son.

Too late to look for him. I didn't know.

I would have looked for him from the beginning. I would have demanded my paternity as i plan to do now that i know.

You're not going to demand anything. No, no, mom, mom, wait.

Rodrigo is santiago's son. He carries the blood of the lazcanos.

That's what they made everyone believe all these years. Because they thought i was dead.

And i, personally, am going to make it a reality. No, no!

Adriana, no! Adriana!

Adriana, no! My love, answer me, please react, react.

Adriana, answer me. You killed her.

Good thing you're waking up, mom. The doctor said you're out of danger.

You shouldn't have gotten in the way. Your mother-in-law shot me.

It was an impulse. I couldn't allow you to also be part of bruna correa's perverse ambition.

I should have put a stop to my mom. If i didn't bring up the subject with you before, it's because i was waiting for your mom to be okay.

Yes, i know that, i know that you're my dad. But, also, there's something i have to tell you.

Marlene, today you will leave intensive care and we will move you to a room. Because you have shown excellent progress.

Your baby is safe. It will be a matter of days before we discharge you.

Thank you, doctor. Excuse me.

We are so happy that you and your baby have been saved. I tried very hard.

I want to give my baby the opportunity to live. And have you heard anything from rodrigo?

Yes, he has been keeping up with your health and the baby's. He's not here because he didn't want to upset you.

Going back home, it will be time to talk. Carefully.

Now that the danger has passed, and you and the baby are safe, there is something we need to talk about. Sit down.

When i met sofia and she was a single mother, she had a very beautiful girl named marlene. I am not your biological father.

How? I don't understand.

We decided to keep the secret because osvaldo registered you with his last name. And when your brother was born, we decided to keep it that way because we didn't want there to be differences between you.

Yes, my love. No, no, you are my dad.

Yes, i am because i have always been with you loving you, taking care of you, being a family. But it was necessary for you to know now because that has to do with rodrigo's behavior.

How? Did you humiliate me and despise me because i am not my dad's daughter?

No, no, no, he behaved the way he did because... Because rodrigo is my son.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Seriously, my head is spinning.

We know how you feel, but we are going to explain. The important thing is to make it clear that you are not siblings.

That you don't share the same blood. That there is nothing forbidden and aberrant in your love.

Forgive me, marlene. Forgive me for everything i said to you.

You don't know the pain i felt, but i thought we were siblings. But now that we know we are not, i reiterate that i love you.

And that you are my whole universe. And i want to be with you and our baby forever.

I love you, rodrigo. I love you.

I have so much to process. But you don't know how happy it makes me to know that you are going to be by my side and our baby's.

And that together, we will form the whole universe. The judge found enough elements to initiate a trial against you for the attempted murder of adriana.

Don't look so pleased, lucía. I am going to prove that i had no intention of killing her.

That it was an accident. Maybe, but they are also going to prosecute you for having wanted to kill marlene.

Slander. Through the city's security cameras, they obtained the license plates of the car that ran him over.

And they found its location. They arrested tomás, your bodyguard, and seeking the favor of justice, he declared that he did it on your orders to make her disappear.

I'm going to pay the best criminal lawyers to get me out of here. I don't see what money you can do it with.

You're out of the company. You lost all your benefits, bruna.

Santiago is going to support me. He is still the president of the company.

Mom, i agreed with lucía. We have to make it public that i am sterile.

And that rodrigo is not my biological son, is not what suits us. And i agreed that between the two of us, we will lead the company from now on.

As is fair. Because we are both legitimate children of our father.

That was always your goal and your mother's when she got into bed with my husband. Think what you want.

You always said "i'd rather be dead than allow the lover's daughter to be at the head of the company. " now i'm glad it didn't come true.

So you can rot with rage knowing that it wasn't like that. The rest of your life that you are going to spend in jail.

Love is such a pure feeling that it exalts those of us who are favored to feel it in our heart. But love is threatened when it grows in an environment of secrets, ambitions, lies, that will always try to impose themselves and separate us from the love of our lives.

But even if we try to keep it hidden, the moment of truth will always come. So that it rebels and gives the opportunity to realize true and sincere love and it becomes in our lives like the whole universe.
