Plot
Andrea San Vicente is a young lawyer, she is modern and intelligent. She has a passion for justice and the rights take her to defend those who can't defend for themselves. That same passion will lead her to her past, which she doesn't know anything about.
Andrea lives in a house in a private section of the middle class in Mexico City with her uncle Anselmo and her aunt Zulema, her younger sister Gina and her cousin Magda. Zulema has told the girls that the parents of Andrea and Gina, Enrique and Alicia, died in an accident. But the reality is another.
Andrea and her sister have grown up in a family in which Zulema tells them that they should be thankful for what they have done for the two: they gave them a family, and they educated them. This makes Andrea the main source for money in the family, since her uncle Anselmo has diabetes for years and this doesn't allow him to work.
Andrea falls in love with Ramiro, a young man of better economic position than her. They are about to marry, but they have to confront many obstacles: the rounding opposition of Samuel, father of Ramiro, and the lies and intrigues of Sofia, an ex-girlfriend of Ramiro.
But Andrea and Ramiro finally get over all those obstacles and finally get married. But the destiny has a cruel game for the two: during their honeymoon, and after having consummated the marriage, Ramiro dies all of a sudden and leaves Andrea in a dark loneliness. Andrea has become a widow and being so young, and now, she has to confront a destiny she never expected.
Andrea has taken refuge in her work and her studies, since she is doing a master's degree in psychology. Not only has she buried Ramiro, but all her possibilities to love have gone with him.....or at least that is what she thinks. Without looking for it, and without thinking it, two men of distinct character will come into her life: Mauricio Rodriguez and Eduardo Rivadeneira, but only one of them will be her destiny.
