Premise

The series starts with a woman named Soledado. Attorney Alfredo Del Castillo is Soledad's boss and secret lover. Jose Fernando Atlamirano, Alfredo's brother-in-law, feels lust for Soledad, but she only has eyes for Alfredo. One day, Jose Fernando sends a letter to Soledad pretending to be Alfredo. When she arrives at their meeting place, Jose Fernando tries to rape Soledad. Alfredo arrives just in time and kills Jose Fernando to save Soledad. However, Alfredo collapses from a seizure, and Soledad is left holding the gun as the help and a young Fernando Jose, Jose Fernando's son, arrives on the scene. Jose Fernando's wife and Alfredo's sister, Dona Valeria, does not believe that it was Alfredo who killed her husband, but blames Soledad. As such, Soledad is sent to prison for 24 years for a crime she did not commit.

While serving her sentence, Soledad gives birth to a baby girl, naming her Rosalinda. But because she is incarcerated, she is forced to give the baby to her sister, Dolores Perez . At the same time, Dolores' daughter dies. To avoid telling her husband, Javier, the truth, she tells him that Rosalinda is their daughter. When Soledad finds out, she gets angry, but she also realizes that her daughter will have a better future not knowing that her real mother is in jail.

Years later, Rosalinda is now an adult and falls in love with the handsome Fernando Jose. Neither knows the truth about their respective pasts. When Dona Valeria finds out that Fernando Jose is in a relationship, she gets mad at her son for dating someone beneath their social status.
