Synopsis

It tells the story of the capricious Abigail Guzmán (Catherine Fulop) the only daughter of a wealthy businessman, beautiful and troubled, who falls in love with Professor Carlos Alfredo Ruiz Aponte (Fernando Carrillo) who teaches her literature classes at the San Lázaro school. Abigail manages to conquer professor Carlos Alfredo and they immediately have a son, whom she gives to an unknown taxi driver in a moment of mental delirium. Abigail will fight for many years to get her son back and to regain the love of Carlos Alfredo, whom she blames for the loss of her child. His son, Cheíto, will reappear years later one day when, out of necessity, he breaks into Abigaíl's mansion. Abigail will also have to deal with the twin sisters, María Clara (Hilda Abrahamz) and María Begoña (Hilda Abrahamz) who try to take away her love. The story will be an odyssey of a love that will overcome a wrong marriage, a crisis of madness, a son, some strange parents, until the happy union of Abigail and Carlos Alfredo.
