At first, he disguised it as a sports article, all lies.

Oh, wow, verónica hasn't told me anything. No, no, she doesn't agree.

In fact, the last time we spoke, she promised to help me so her boss would stop insisting. - oh, so you already know each other.

We met once. Well, i don't think my sister achieved much because that guy was already asking me out to talk to me.

And without my sister knowing. I don't know why she keeps working there at that magazine.

It's just that, for me, verónica is the best journalist there is. She's meant for something bigger.

You know what? No, i can't believe you're his sister.

It's a small world, isn't it? Yes, yes, yes, i'm romina arellano.

What happens is that, well, when i got married... I use marcos's last name and that's why maybe you didn't associate it with me.

- yes, yes, yes, i'm sure that's why. Uh, be very careful with that flores guy, he's a terrible person.

The further away from us, the better. - no, thanks.

I just went out for some air, i prefer to walk. Then let's take a walk.

I'll let you ride my motorcycle. What do you say?

That your motorcycle will finally know what it feels like to be ridden the way it should be. - we'll see, yes, we'll see.

- hold on tight. Beautiful.

Flores, you told me it was urgent, here i am. I had to invent an excuse to leave the miranda's house.

So what's wrong? Why couldn't you tell me over the phone?

Look, even if you're disguised as a maid, infiltrated in that house, don't forget that your boss is still me, hmm? Yes.

Well, tell me. It's just that every day i discover another one of your deceptions.

And i warned you, veronica. I warned you not to play dirty with me.

- i don't understand. - oh, you don't?

Not only are you living under the same roof as joaquin navarro, now it turns out - how did you find out? - i have guzman investigating, following you very closely.

Are you watching me? Veronica...

I no longer trust you. Romina has nothing to do with this.

Romina was already working at navarro cross for a long time, a very long time. And she has no idea about that story.

So please, don't even think about getting her involved in this, okay? I don't know, we could use her without her realizing...

To get information through the company. - no.

No, no, and no. I don't use people, much less my family.

Please, veronica. You disguise yourself every day, you manipulate that family.

You live with those brothers. All for a story that, according to you, ah, you didn't want to do.

And i, i'm still waiting for a paragraph, a damn paragraph! I don't have things clear.

There are very sensitive things, flores. Not everything is black and white as you think.

Don't give me excuses. If you're in, i want results now!

What you deliver better be up to par with what i've had to tolerate from you. - - how did it go?

Not very well. Ever since flores found out i'm in that house, i feel like every day i have less control over everything.

Why don't you tell him the truth? That you're there for your daughter, that all of this is for valeria.

Never. He would use it to manipulate me.

He would take advantage of it, he would pressure me more. He would use valeria as part of his sensationalist report.

Never, that's not going to happen. Well, then tell me, how can i help you?

What you're doing is... It's a lot, listening to me, being close.

Really, thank you. Alright, how about we go for something, a coffee, whatever you want?

I told you when you picked me up at the mirandas' house, i can't. - excuse me.

- excuse me. That word is coming out of your mouth very often, and the worst part is that it's to tell me.

- excuse me. - go.

Sorry. - hey.

- you're absolutely right. Is everything okay at that house?

Any situation with joaquín? No, everything's fine.

Are you sure? Yes.

Would you take me back, please? - of course, please.

- thank you. How kind, thank you.

Thank you. Hey, the way you took that turn was brutal.

- - seriously, my respects. - thanks for letting me drive.

It's like a breath of fresh air, when i run, everything falls into place in my head. And what was it you needed to sort out today?

No, no, no, i'm driving now. - hmm?

- why? Why?

Because i see you're nervous. And if you're going to have that tremor in your hands, i'd rather you hold onto me and not the handlebars.

Look, don't get confused. If i let you come with me, it's because i wanted to drive, not because i wanted to hear your cheap lines.

And you know what? If what you wanted was a girl to hang on your back, talk to rebe.

Please, rebe was nothing. The lights went out and it caught me by surprise.

Yes, of course. It was obvious how confused you were while kissing her.

Valeria, the only kiss that blew my mind was yours. That meant nothing to you.

It meant everything. I've never felt this with anyone.

Oh, just shut up and drive, okay? That way i don't have to listen to you.

It's okay, it's not that big of a deal. - are you ready?

- yes. Flores, i'm joaquín navarro.

Dear navarro, it's good to hear from you again. I thought i had been clear enough with you.

- i don't understand. - that i'm not going to give you the story you're looking for so much.

So stop bothering us or face the legal consequences. But how strange.

Let's see, that report is more than canceled. I thought so until i found out he started bothering romina, the company's receptionist.

She is verónica arellano's sister. If i called her, it was for a personal matter.

I'm warning you, flores. Leave us alone.

Well, who does this guy think he is? Majo, majo.

Come, come, come. What are you doing here, uncle?

Look, you forgot it in my room. Throw it away, keep it forever, but claudia shouldn't see it, okay?

Because i don't understand any of this, huh? But well, i don't want to complicate things further.

It's fine. Diego, can you let me go?

It's just so hard. I feel you close and i don't want to let you go anymore.

Did you sleep well? You look tired.

Yes, why? What happened?

Why are you stopping? Because i need to look you in the eyes and ask you a question.

Which one? Is there something between joaquín navarro and you?

Diego, stop, can you let me go? Oh, i can't.

It's just that what i feel for you is stronger than me. Dude, claudia might be inside.

Then let's go somewhere else, i don't know, but let's talk for a bit. - no, no, if claudia catches us, she'll find out everything, seriously.

That's why, let's go somewhere else, it's fine. No?

Well, i'm not moving from here, okay, majo? I'll wait for you all day, if necessary.

Okay, that's fine. Let me go in, i'll check everything's okay with lorena and i'll come out, okay?

- i'll wait for you here. - hello.

- hello. How are you?

Everything okay? Me?

Yes, yes, wonderful, you? Yes, everything's fine too.

Any news, anything to tell? You'd better tell me what you want to know.

Well, lorena came to deliver an order and told me that majo is upset because her mom is here with you. Bad news travels fast and this one blew up in my face this morning.

Oh, no, sorry, sorry, i shouldn't have said anything, i'm such a busybody... No, no, no, it's fine, don't say that.

But these are your things, about your wife, about majo... - ex-wife.

And actually, that relationship wasn't a couple, it was like some kind of ex-something. Something that resulted in majo.

Yes, that's right. But, oh, olga, you don't know what it is.

The further away, the better, you don't know what it is. Oh...

I finally found you. Facundo.

Oh, what things you say, where do you get that from? From your silences, from the way you look at him when you think no one is watching you.

From how you've distanced yourself from me lately. You know better than anyone why i'm in that house.

For my daughter, not to go around falling in love with anyone. Well, then, if nothing is going on with joaquín, tell me to my face.

Joaquín navarro is my boss. Consuelo's, then.

And, let's see, yes, we get along well. All that based on the children and the family, nothing more.

Veronica, if you think joaquín is your ally in all this, i think you're making a big mistake. Joaquín is not your friend.

You don't really know him, not like i know him. Let's see, what's going to happen when he finds out who you really are?

When he knows you infiltrated his house. That you lied to his face, no, no.

He's not going to respect your reasons, he's not going to respect your pain. He's going to see you as a threat and he's going to snatch valeria from his arms without thinking, without his hand shaking.

Oh, no. No, no, dear god.

Not that, okay? Excuse me, miss.

Do you know where romina is? She's not here right now.

Who's looking for her? Tell her i'm...

Verónica arellano. Joaquín navarro.

I spoke with your boss and i already told him to stop insisting with that note. It's over.

I'm the only one who knows who you really are. The only one who's by your side without judging you.

Willing to do anything for you. I promise i will protect you.

I promise i will help you get back what is yours, to take care of what is truly important, which is your daughter. Which is your daughter.

But don't be mistaken, okay? Don't give your trust to someone who can destroy you.

Don't give your faith to someone who can take valeria from you without a second thought. I beg you.

Don't make a mistake with joaquín. He will never...

He will never look at you the way i look at you. And i...

I love you, verónica. I love you.

What's wrong? It's my dad.

Yes, it's my dad. And consuelo.

Why did you come, veronica? Joaquin, do you want me to call security?

Oh, no. I'm harmless.

No, no, everything is fine, kassandra. I'll handle it.

Please, leave quietly. That's all i needed.

To be dragged out of here in handcuffs as if i were a criminal. Veronica, please explain why you came.

The thing is, i'm a very impulsive woman, very much like that, very sudden. Very sudden.

And right now i feel like i have to go. - and i'm leaving.

- no. First, you're going to come to my office.

You're not leaving until you tell me why you came to navarro cruz. He's kissing her.

Yes. Apparently, yes.

Uh... Facundo...

Sorry, i couldn't resist. How do i not kiss you?

How do i not feel this that you make me feel? I like you a lot.

Wow! How crazy!

Your dad with consuelo? She works at my house.

You know her, right? - what are you doing?

- i'm going to talk to him. Don't be crazy!

Don't interrupt them! Or what?

Does it bother you that your dad is dating the housekeeper? No, no, it has nothing to do with it, please.

Oh, how basic you are! It's obvious it bothers you!

Look, valeria, think what you want. Can you get off the motorcycle?

I don't even know why i got on. You're unbearable!

Iván, you're incredible. Second time you see me today and you freeze up like a statue.

Anyway, let me introduce myself, in case you forgot. Olga!

- a pleasure. - nice to meet you.

Majo's mom, right? Wow!

How curious! Have you become friends with my girl?

And who are you? She's romina, a coworker.

Listen, can you explain what you're doing here? Well, i just couldn't miss it.

You? With a job?

And with office hours? I had to see it with my own eyes.

Honestly, i have to go. Right now, urgently.

Although, on second thought, i really feel like talking more with you. I told you i'm very impulsive.

Where is your office? - is it close?

- this way. - please, come with me.

- let's go, let's go. Yes, yes.

Is that why you came? To ask me for money?

No, no, no. A cell phone isn't money.

Don't be annoying. Yes, it is money.

A cell phone costs money and here it's not called "móvil", it's called "celular". Don't be like that, iván.

Don't be like that? You show up at my house, just like that, without any warning.

Now you come here, to my job, to ask me for money. I've never asked you for anything.

For years, i've solely borne majo's expenses. And now that i need something, you refuse.

It's fine. Thank you.

You wear your years well, my love. Don't kiss me, olga.

Veronica, i really like you. You too.

You're great. But we have a problem.

Yes, man. I know, the usual, my boss.

Flores keeps insisting on doing that report and now he started bothering your sister romina to get some information, i don't know what. Oh, that flores is such a terrible, terrible fool.

But how can i be sure that you're not supporting this story? I still don't know why you came.

I came to see my sister. I come as a sister, but not as a journalist, huh?

No. That's the truth and nothing but the truth.

Can i ask you a question? As many as you want.

Except my weight and my age, not those, huh? If you weren't planning to use your sister to get to me, why didn't you tell me that romina worked with me that time we met?

Look, joaquin, i'm a journalist, i am what i am, a bit like a gossipmonger, you know, right? But i respect romina, i adore her, and she is a saint, and i tell you, looking you in the eyes: i am not here for that report.

I have nothing to do with what flores is doing. I have spoken and i have spoken the truth.

You only came for romina. Yes, because she's going to give me some papers for...

From my dad, from my dad, because she needs them to do a pension procedure. Come in.

Joaquín. I didn't know you were busy.

I need to talk to you, it's urgent. Could you wait a second for me?

Sure, but don't make me wait too long i get bored quickly. Dear virgin, send me all the heavenly court, help me get out of this, please.

Please, please. Diego, man, i work here with claudia, you can't come looking for me like this.

I know it's wrong, but i feel like kissing you, being with you. I can't help it, you understand?

No, man, but you have to avoid it, okay? Don't say you don't feel the same way, because i don't believe you at all.

Don't you love claudia even a little bit? We already broke up, i don't know why she insists.

Because she's going through hell because of you. No, no, no, wait, okay?

Let me talk, because nobody here is having a good time. Claudia is not well, you are not well, and neither am i, and you don't realize it, but you're destroying me.

But i don't want to hurt you. Then, that's it, don't insist, let's wait a while, let's be friends.

And nothing happened here, and nothing will ever happen. And just like that, i went from being the most eligible bachelor in mexico after you, obviously, to being a father, ex-husband, and family breadwinner.

"boom"! From a solitary life to extreme cohabitation.

And you're telling me. Yes, but yours is different.

It was your decision, you decided to go live with the miranda brothers, and believe me, you're scared, but for me, both of them, by surprise, no way. And it was time for you to take responsibility, iván.

It's good that life gives you this second chance, and that way you'll make things right, i hope. Yes, yes, honestly, you're right, and i need you to lend me money.

I don't want to hear about loans anymore, i'm going to make an exception and give you an advance on your salary. - thank you, really, thank you very much, you have no idea, i have olga here, she won't let go, she won't let me...

See? You're always asking for loans, i feel the same way, exactly the same.

Oh! Joaquín, dear.

Hello. Olga, welcome to mexico, right?

There are two. How nice to see you, man, the most handsome brother-in-law in the world.

- no, thanks. - ex-brother-in-law, we already talked about it, ex.

Come on, iván, please, i can't keep putting the word "ex" on everything in our lives. Well, you're going to have to because everything that exists between us is "ex".

Except majo, don't forget you have a daughter and forgive me for interfering, but try to behave like responsible parents, you can't start fighting like cats and dogs, i beg you, please. Facundo, you are a great man, truly, and you don't know, i am very grateful to life for putting us on the same path.

But i need to ask you to be patient with me. First there's my daughter, and therefore, this job.

Right now i can't think about a relationship. Mamita chelo, what happened?

I'm in a huge mess. What happened?

Where are you? In joaquín navarro's office.

Why? What are you doing there?

Your dad asked me as a favor to come pick up some papers that romina has. You shouldn't have gotten involved with that company, mamita chelo.

The worst part is that joaquín found me just arriving and sent me straight to his office to talk to me. He thinks they're still harassing him with this report.

Oh, my god. Mamita chelo, please, i beg you, you have to maintain that it's me no matter the consequences, understand?

Yes, yes, i'm on it, my dear daughter. I'm going to hang up.

What if he comes in and finds me talking to you. Goodbye.

If joaquín discovers my mamita chelo, i'm lost. - calm down, calm down.

Whatever it is, i can fix it. Tell me, what happened?

My mamita chelo just called me. She tells me she's at joaquín's company.

Because my dad sent her for some papers. Sorry for making you wait.

No, no. I mean, no, don't worry.

Let me call romina to bring those papers you came for. - oh, no, no, no, no.

I'll stop by to see her on my way out, better. Well, in that case, i'll go with you to your sister.

Answer, answer, i'll say goodbye. I don't want to take up any more of your time.

Just give me a second, please. What happened, facundo?

Tell me. Now?

I saw her, consuelo. I saw her through the window.

A man left her at the door. Facundo.

You told me you had to run some errands and you went for a walk with your boyfriend. What do you mean?

No. Yes, i did them.

It's just that facundo drove me, that's why i got here fast. Imagine if not, i'd still be on the subway.

Put that phone down and get to work. He just dropped you off at the door and what?

You already want him to call you? Don't be so clingy with that man because you're going to lose him.

And come on, speed things up in the kitchen. Come on, you're very behind and i left you some dishes to wash.

Please. Yes, already.

Thank you, thank you. Forgive me, veronica, but i have to go, that's my job.

Well, at least we were able to clarify some things. Yes, well, romina is not here, but if you want in a minute i'll find her.

- no, no, no, please. You have a lot of problems to solve, don't worry.

I'll wait for her here. Well, in any case, it was a pleasure, huh?

I'll take my leave. The pleasure is mine.

Nice to meet you. - aunt chelo.

- oh, what's up? Why did you take so long?

My dad is waiting for you with the papers. - oh, what can i tell you, my dear?

The bus i was on broke down and the next one never came. I had to walk like ten blocks.

And in those heels? Oh, i can't stand them.

Why are you so pretty, all dressed up? - oh, thank you.

- what are you up to? Well, nothing, i can't exactly come here to your job in an apron and all...

Besides, nayeli started practicing the makeup course with me. Well, i'm rushing off to take the papers to your dad because he's waiting for me.

Yes, yes, yes. Well, see you, pretty girl.

- goodbye. - be careful.

Yes, thank you. Guys.

Marcos. And facundo?

No idea. He hasn't stopped by the workshop today.

But he did call me to say he needed to talk to me urgently. Joaquín!

Where were you? At home, working on the design of the new motorcycle.

Very good. I had some ideas that i want to discuss with you as soon as possible.

- i'm listening. There are a couple of details in the suspension design that don't quite add up for me.

I want to make sure we're aligned. Weight issues?

Exactly. If we don't recalculate the distribution, the prototypes will come out unstable.

And i'm not going to risk it with that. - no, no, no.

- come with me. Let's see.

Do you have the solution in your mind? Yes, yes, yes.

Of course. But look, check this out...

Everything went well, my dear. Something really strange happened at school the other day.

That older girl alexa doesn't bother me anymore and now she says she wants to be my friend. But i don't believe him.

Sorry, meli, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

What happened is i heard a very beautiful voice and i came to see if it was yours. Do you want to tell me what's happening with your little friend?

I, i think if alexa is offering you to be your friend, maybe you should give her a chance, don't you think? But, but what happened?

Why did she leave so suddenly? She was talking to her dad again.

Really? - she talked?

- uh-huh. Claritito.

With all her heart, she was telling him her life story, as if, as if her dad was going to back her up from the screen. But why?

Why doesn't she talk to us? We must have patience and faith.

She has little stones stuck in her soul, and she's letting them go. Those are small steps forward, doña carmen.

Oh, may god hear you, consuelo. May god hear you.

Answer, please, answer. We're going to start with the repetition of consonants.

First, with the letter m, then with b, and finally with p. This way.

M-a m-a m-a m-a we finished with the p. He's not going to answer me, meli.

Meli, don't look at me like that. Hello, diego.

Are you ever going to answer me, or are you too busy? Call me.

Mom. What happened?

He's with someone else. That's it, he's with someone else.

Oh, honey, not that again, my love. It's just that i'm not stupid, mom.

This has nothing to do with the crisis, or the death of his parents, or anything. But, hadn't they taken a break?

Well, honey, you know diego doesn't like it when you insist. And do you think i like calling him like a toxic person 800 times and him not answering?

No, mom, i don't want this. We had something else.

I love him. I know, my love, but that's why you have to give diego space.

When he's ready, he'll come looking for you himself. But please, don't beg him.

You don't have to beg anyone. But it hurts, mom.

I'm suffering, don't you understand? I just want to be with him.

No, i know. I'm going to die of pain.

- - no, don't say that. Look, meli, don't be mad at me, please.

Look, there are things for grown-ups that i can't explain to you, but everything is fine. Seriously.

No, look, you're mad at me, i know, but tell me, don't write it to me. Come on, tell me something.

Come on, tell me why you're angry. No, no, no, don't make gestures at me.

Tell me, talk, please, meli. Talk, talk, like when you talk to dad when you play that video.

I want to hear your voice, meli, please. Tell me how angry you are, scream at me if necessary, but speak, please.

No, meli, meli, come, please. Melissa!

Hello, consuelo. Miss valeria, how was it?

Not as good as yours. You know?

I remembered that when you came home you told us something about your life and i think that something has changed. Oh, explain it to me slower, i'm not understanding anything.

Can i ask you a question? Yes, it must be something difficult because she's been thinking about it a lot, what happened?

- yes, a little. - and does it have to do with me?

- yes, with you and someone else. I don't understand anything.

I saw you, consuelo. You saw me?

Where? When?

Why? Why did you hide it from me, huh?

Why didn't you tell me anything? Oh, come on, don't stay silent, i've already found you out.

See you later, guys. Facundo, one second.

Is something wrong? I'm sick of you cutting me off like that.

I know you're the head mechanic, right? But joaquín put both of us in charge of the new motorcycle project.

Both of us. Yes?

Now i find out you were making progress on your own, huh? And without consulting me at all, what part of working as a team didn't you understand?

- look, marco, marco, marco. I have a career, i studied mechanical engineering, you didn't.

You're just a neighborhood mechanic and a lucky one at that. You got in here because your wife recommended you.

Hey, hey, watch what you say. I was asking around with the guys, they told me the whole story.

It was your wife who spoke well of you to joaquín. And here you are, with a steady salary.

Don't ruin it. Yes, yes, yes, romina recommended me.

What about that? That was years ago.

I earned this place with effort, with double shifts, swallowing grease and smoke. I get my hands dirty, look, look.

While you work from your computer, in your office, with air conditioning. Joaquín's respect and everyone's, i've earned it with hard work.

Keep earning the employees' respect. Meanwhile, i'm going to keep moving this company forward.

How did you, you discover me? Yes, i discovered you.

I saw you with facundo in his car. Oh, he saw me with him today.

Uh-huh. Oh, how embarrassing, how embarrassing.

Oh, whatever, consuelo. Better tell me everything.

What are you? Are you dating already?

Uh, no, we're just getting to know each other. How embarrassing that he saw me like that, man.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it. Facundo is a handsome, interesting man.

Have you been going out long? No, not that long, honestly, no.

- long. - oh, you're so mean.

You hadn't told me anything, huh. Well, there's not that much to tell, honestly.

Obviously yes, consuelo. Facundo is the father of the guy i told you about, eleazar.

Oh, what a coincidence, right? It's strange because you like the father and i like the son.

Isn't that crazy? Well, it's a small world, isn't it?

What impetuosity. Sorry, sorry, it was my fault, it's just that i come like a whirlwind, sorry.

And are you in a hurry or are you running away? Well, i don't know.

Yes, yes, i can tell you're on edge, huh? But come on, breathe.

Otherwise you're going to lose an innocent woman like me. No...

Olga fagardo, freshly unpacked from madrid. Marcos tobar, mechanic, one of those stubborn ones who don't give up.

Marcos. Hey, thanks for calming me down.

I really didn't expect it, huh? Not at all, not at all.

No, well, i didn't expect that... That someone with a bulldog face...

With a bulldog? Me?

- would smile at me. - no, i'm not a bulldog.

So, well, we're one-all. Uh, tied.

Hey, and do you work here? Are you new?

No, no, not at all. I'm the owner's sister-in-law.

Well, ex-sister-in-law. Iván navarro's ex.

I tell you, honestly, i don't know what happened, but... Meli got very angry with diego.

He probably yelled at her again or something. Diego should calm down.

He can't be like this. Yes.

Don't worry, vale. When mom and dad come back, he'll calm down.

Dani, do you really think mom and dad...? Yes.

Little sister, i know this is difficult. I understand you, because...

Because we all suffer. You, diego, meli and i suffer.

All four equally. No, me less.

Because i know they're alive. No, dani.

Okay, they didn't find them. Not them, but they did find the plane's remains.

That doesn't mean anything. The bodies never appeared.

Yes, because the plane crashed into the sea. No, shut up!

Shut up. Dani, mom and dad are dead.

No. Dad, no.

I know they're alive and they're coming back. I know, they're coming back, okay?
