On the other hand, one night Lucia and Raul make love and Lucia becomes pregnant. But Cristal has offered Raul riches if he marries her and a better life for his child. When Lucia gives birth to "twins", she finds out that Cristal married Raul. Lucia is crushed, but she gets a chance to take revenge on Raul when her father Alejandro comes out of jail after 20 years.
