Transcript

00:00Pia and Ricardo. Cristobal's punishment, Vera's hidden truth. In the promise, Cristobal Guerrero

00:06demonstrates his sadism. He does not fire Pia Dare and Ricardo Pellicer, but destroys them from

00:12within, separating them from their son and relegating Ricardo to exile among day laborers.

00:19While this sentence sinks in, another bomb explodes. Don Federico reveals to Vera that

00:24she is not who she thinks she is, but the lost daughter of Aurora Montero and Sebastian Lujan,

00:29a truth written in letters and a diary that changes her blood.

00:35Catalina, betrayed by Martina, Jacobo and Adriano himself, decides to counter-attack from the

00:41shadows with the living memory of the house and some old books that could sink her rivals.

00:49Angela's search in the forest offers evidence that turns out to be a macabre bait.

00:53Emmanuel, determined to break the web, ends his aerial dream to finance an investigation

01:01that already points to a hitman linked to Bartolome and Jacobo.

01:08Four flames ignite. Resistance, truth, strategy, and justice, promising a dawn that no one will see coming.

01:15The air in the promise had become dense, almost unbreathable. It was not the persistent heat of a summer that refused to die,

01:27but a coldness that emanated from the very walls of the estate, an invisible frost that clung to the soul.

01:32Since Don Federico's return and with the poisonous presence of Don Cristobal Guerrero pulling the strings like a macabre puppeteer,

01:43each hallway seemed longer, each shadow more threatening.

01:48The silence was no longer peace, but the tense calm that precedes the storm.

01:51For Pia Adair and Ricardo Pellissier, that silence was a stifled cry.

02:04Manuel's intervention had been a momentary bomb,

02:06an outstretched hand in the middle of the darkness that had made them believe for an instant that justice still existed.

02:14He managed to keep Cristobal from firing them.

02:16Yes, but the smile that played on the soldiers' lips after their conversation was not one of defeat, but of sadistic inspiration.

02:27The real punishment was not exile, but internal torture.

02:31Cristobal had summoned them to his office,

02:34Don Alonso's former refuge that now reeked of expensive tobacco and tyranny.

02:41Pia entered first, her back straight,

02:43a dignity forged in a thousand battles that refused to bend.

02:50Ricardo followed her,

02:51his hands clenched into fists at his sides,

02:54his jaw clenched so tightly it hurt.

02:59They stood in front of the desk as a team,

03:02a united front against adversity.

03:03I will not dismiss you,

03:09Cristobal began,

03:10savoring each word,

03:12letting hope blossom in them only so he could crush it with even more fury.

03:20Manuel has made me see that your efficiency is indispensable to the smooth running of this house.

03:24It would be a mistake to do without you,

03:29he paused,

03:30his small, cruel eyes traveling from Pia to Ricardo.

03:37But your indiscretion,

03:39your immoral behavior under this roof cannot go unpunished.

03:44There must be consequences,

03:46exemplary consequences.

03:49Pia's heart hammered against her ribs.

03:51She knew what was coming would be worse than the streets.

03:57Starting tomorrow,

03:58Cristobal continued,

04:00steepling his fingers.

04:02You,

04:02Pellicier,

04:03will step down from your duties as head butler.

04:08You will be relegated to managing the fields and outside chores.

04:12You will sleep in the day laborers' quarters alongside them.

04:15You will not set foot in the main house again unless I expressly authorize it.

04:25Ricardo felt as if the ground was opening up beneath his feet.

04:31It was not the work that hurt,

04:32but the enforced distance,

04:34the separation from his son and Pia.

04:37It was an exile within his own home.

04:41Cristobal turned to Pia,

04:42and his smile widened.

04:47And you,

04:48Adair,

04:48you will continue to be the housekeeper.

04:51But on one condition,

04:52your son,

04:53little Diguaito,

04:54will be moved to the east wing,

04:56to the old nanny's room.

05:00He will be under the exclusive care of a maid of my choosing,

05:03a person I trust completely who will arrive tomorrow.

05:06You will only be able to see him for one hour a day,

05:12at dusk,

05:13and always under supervision.

05:17The world on her feet fell apart.

05:19The air left her lungs in an inaudible hiss.

05:25Her son was being torn from her.

05:27It was a cruelty so refined,

05:30so diabolical that it surpassed any physical punishment.

05:36Seeing her baby for just one hour a day as a stranger,

05:40as a visitor,

05:41was a sentence of death in life.

05:44Why?

05:46She whispered,

05:47her voice breaking,

05:48her strength cracking for the first time.

05:50Because sin has its price,

05:55Pia.

05:56Cristobal said,

05:57standing up and walking around the desk to stand before them.

06:03And the two of you will live each day remembering the price of your mistake.

06:07You will see the fruit of your love,

06:09but you will not be able to enjoy it.

06:13They will be under the same sky,

06:15but separated by an abyss of my creation.

06:17It is a fatal decision,

06:20don't you think?

06:22Fatal for their small and dirty happiness.

06:26Ricardo took a step forward,

06:27the protective instinct roaring inside him.

06:32He has no right.

06:33I have every right,

06:35Cristobal cut him off.

06:36His voice a whip.

06:42I am the lord of this house now

06:44and if I hear a single complaint,

06:45if I perceive the slightest subordination,

06:48the offer of the daily hour will disappear

06:50and the child will be sent to an orphanage

06:52that they will never hear about again.

06:56I have been clear.

07:00The threat,

07:01so blunt and direct,

07:02left them frozen.

07:04There was no choice,

07:05no escape.

07:08They were trapped in the monster's web.

07:10They left the office without saying a word,

07:13walking like automatons.

07:18When they reached the corridor,

07:20out of Cristobal's sight,

07:22Pia leaned against the wall,

07:23her legs trembling

07:24and the tears she had been holding back

07:26welled up with uncontrollable violence.

07:31Ricardo hugged her.

07:33A desperate, furious hug,

07:35helpless.

07:35She wasn't crying,

07:37but her entire body vibrated

07:39with murderous rage.

07:42In that silent embrace,

07:44in the darkness of the hallway,

07:45they made a promise to each other.

07:47They wouldn't give up.

07:51They would fight.

07:53Somehow,

07:53they would find a way

07:54to destroy Cristobal Guerrero,

07:56even if it was the last thing they did.

08:02Meanwhile,

08:02in another part of the house,

08:04a different kind of earthquake

08:05was shaking the foundations

08:06of another soul.

08:11Vera had been feeling

08:12the weight of Don Federico's gaze

08:14for days.

08:15It wasn't a look of lasciviousness

08:17or menace,

08:18but something much more disturbing.

08:20It was a look of recognition,

08:22tinged with a deep,

08:23almost unbearable sadness.

08:29When he finally asked her

08:30to accompany him

08:31to the library

08:31with the excuse of needing help

08:33arranging some books,

08:34she knew that the moment

08:35she had both feared

08:36and longed for had arrived.

08:41The library was immersed

08:43in a gilded gloom

08:44from the afternoon sun filtering

08:45through the heavy curtains.

08:50The smell of old leather

08:51and paper was comforting,

08:53but the tension in the air

08:54canceled it all out.

08:55Don't I ask you to come

09:00and sort the books,

09:01girl, Federico said,

09:02his voice hoarse

09:03with illness and grief.

09:08He sat down heavily

09:09in a wingback chair,

09:11motioning for Vera

09:11to take a seat

09:12across from him.

09:17Vera obeyed,

09:17her hands clasped tightly

09:19in her lap.

09:19So what for,

09:21Mr. Marquez?

09:26Federico studied her

09:27for a long moment,

09:28as if memorizing

09:29her features.

09:33I've seen the handkerchief

09:34you sometimes wear,

09:35the one embroidered

09:36with the initials AM.

09:40And I've seen the way

09:41you look around this house

09:42as if searching

09:43for something you've lost.

09:44Vera's heart skipped a beat,

09:49the handkerchief,

09:50a gift from her

09:51supposed mother.

09:52My mother gave it to me,

09:53sir.

09:56Your mother,

09:57Federico repeated,

09:58a bitter smile

09:59curving his lips.

10:01What I'm about to tell you

10:02is going to rock

10:03your whole world.

10:07And I'm asking you

10:08to listen to me

10:08to the end.

10:10I'm not doing this

10:10to hurt you,

10:11but because the truth,

10:12however terrible it may be,

10:14is better than a life

10:15built on lies.

10:19Vera nodded.

10:21Unable to speak.

10:22The man you call

10:23your father,

10:23Federico began.

10:25The man who mistreated you

10:26and from whom you fled.

10:30He is not your

10:31biological father.

10:32He was the foreman

10:33of a farm next to some land

10:34my family owned

10:35in the north.

10:39A brutal and greedy man.

10:41And the woman who raised

10:42you as your mother,

10:43she stole you from.

10:44The room began

10:47to spin around Vera.

10:49The words made no sense.

10:53Steal from me,

10:54from whom?

10:55From your real mother,

10:56Federico said,

10:57and his eyes filled

10:58with tears.

11:02Your real mother

11:03was called Aurora Montero,

11:05the initials

11:05on the handkerchief.

11:06She was an extraordinary woman,

11:10intelligent,

11:11brave,

11:11and she was the fiancé

11:13of my little brother,

11:14my brother Sebastian.

11:17Vera felt a shiver

11:18run down her spine.

11:19The name Sebastian Lujan

11:25was a forbidden legend

11:26in the family,

11:27the brother who had died

11:28in tragic circumstances.

11:33Sebastian and Aurora

11:34were deeply in love,

11:35Federico continued,

11:36his voice breaking

11:37with the memory.

11:38But our family,

11:42especially my father,

11:44was opposed to this union.

11:46Aurora wasn't born

11:47into the nobility.

11:48They were going to elope

11:52to start a life

11:52far from here,

11:53but the night before

11:54they were due to leave,

11:55there was a terrible accident.

12:00Or so we were told,

12:01an argument with my father,

12:03a gunshot.

12:04Sebastian died,

12:05and Aurora,

12:06who was pregnant with you,

12:08disappeared that same night.

12:12Broken by grief

12:13and fearing for her daughter

12:14Nanata's life,

12:15she fled.

12:16And how?

12:18How did I end up

12:19with those people?

12:22Vera stammered,

12:23trying to process

12:24the monstrous revelation.

12:26We believe that the woman

12:27who raised you

12:28worked for my father.

12:32That he ordered her

12:33to find Aurora

12:34and get rid of the child,

12:36the living proof

12:36of Sebastian's love,

12:38to avoid a scandal.

12:43But that woman,

12:45instead of obeying blindly,

12:46decided to keep you,

12:47perhaps out of a twisted

12:48sense of motherhood

12:49or simple greed,

12:51thinking that one day

12:52she could use you

12:52for her own gain.

12:57She raised you

12:58in misery and fear,

12:59telling you a false story

13:01to ensure that you

13:01would never seek

13:02your true origins.

13:03Vera stood up,

13:10pacing the library,

13:11gasping for air.

13:16Her entire life,

13:18every memory,

13:19every scar

13:19was a farce.

13:22She wasn't the daughter

13:23of a monster,

13:24she was the daughter

13:25of a Lujan,

13:26she was the niece

13:26of the Marquis.

13:28The blood that ran

13:29through her veins

13:30was the same as Manuel's,

13:32Catalina's,

13:32Martinez.

13:36Why are you telling

13:37me this now?

13:38His voice asked,

13:39a trembling thread

13:40of rage and confusion.

13:44Because I'm dying,

13:46Vera,

13:46Federico confessed

13:47with a rawness

13:48that left her breathless.

13:52And I can't leave

13:53this world with this burden.

13:54I've spent years

13:55searching for you

13:56in secret.

13:58When you arrived

13:59at the promise,

14:00something about you

14:00struck me as familiar.

14:03The shape of your eyes,

14:04your bearing.

14:08You are the spitting image

14:09of Aurora.

14:10I have made many mistakes

14:11in my life.

14:12I have been a coward

14:13on countless occasions.

14:14I allowed my brother's name

14:20to be dragged

14:21through the mud

14:21and his daughter

14:22to grow up in hell.

14:26I want to make amends,

14:27even a little,

14:28for that terrible mistake.

14:29You are a fighter,

14:31Vera,

14:31and you deserve

14:32to know who you are.

14:33Quote.

14:37Federico's words

14:38were not a consolation,

14:39but a bomb

14:40that shattered

14:40the fragile refuge

14:41that Vera had built

14:42for herself.

14:45She left the library

14:46without saying anything else,

14:48her head buzzing

14:49and her heart shattered.

14:54All her certainties

14:55had turned to dust.

14:57She did not know

14:57who she was,

14:58where she came from,

14:59or where she belonged.

15:00She only knew one thing.

15:06The truth she had

15:07just discovered

15:07was a key.

15:09A key that could open

15:10the doors to heaven

15:11or hell.

15:15And for the first time

15:16in her life

15:16she had the power

15:17to decide

15:18which one to turn.

15:19The conflict for power,

15:21although less violent,

15:22was also burned

15:23in Catalina's heart.

15:27After overhearing

15:28the secret conversation

15:29between Martina and Jacobo,

15:31in which they planned

15:32to undermine her authority

15:33and take over

15:34the management

15:34of the promise,

15:35she had felt

15:36betrayed and furious.

15:40She sought out Adriano,

15:42her husband,

15:43expecting to find

15:44in him an ally,

15:45a confidant,

15:45a pillar on which to lean.

15:50Reality, however,

15:52was an even harder blow.

15:54She found him

15:55in the gardens

15:56supervising the work

15:57of one of the servants

15:57with an air of superiority

15:59that made Catalina's

16:00stomach turn.

16:04She pushed him aside

16:05with an excuse

16:06and when they were

16:07alone by the fountain,

16:08she urgently related

16:09to him what she had heard.

16:13They planned to push me aside,

16:15Adriano.

16:16Jacobo is manipulating Martina.

16:18They are conspiring

16:19behind my back

16:19to control the estate,

16:21she explained,

16:22expecting to see

16:22indignation in his eyes.

16:24A spark of loyalty.

16:25Instead,

16:29she found an icy blankness.

16:31Adriano shrugged,

16:32an expression

16:33of calculated indifference

16:34on his face.

16:38Catalina,

16:39my dear,

16:40perhaps you are exaggerating.

16:42Martina only wants

16:42the best for the promise.

16:46And Jacobo,

16:47well,

16:48he's a businessman.

16:49Maybe his methods

16:50aren't to your liking,

16:51but they seek efficiency.

16:53Catalina looked at him

16:57incredulously.

16:59Efficiency.

17:00Efficiency over betrayal.

17:02They're my family

17:02and you're my husband.

17:04You're not going to defend me,

17:05you won't side with me.

17:10Adriana's reaction

17:11completely threw her.

17:13He sighed as if he were

17:14dealing with a capricious child.

17:19Taking sides would be unwise.

17:21Catalina,

17:22we shouldn't create

17:23any more conflict.

17:25Maybe you should listen

17:25to what they have to say.

17:29Delegate a little.

17:30You've been carrying

17:31a very heavy burden

17:32all by yourself.

17:34The words,

17:34seemingly reasonable,

17:36were poison daggers.

17:40It wasn't concern,

17:41it was condescension.

17:43In that instant,

17:44Catalina understood everything.

17:46The coldness of his marriage,

17:50his lack of interest

17:51in her beyond appearances,

17:53his sudden closeness

17:54to Jacobo.

17:58Adriana wasn't neutral,

18:00he was with them.

18:01Her marriage had been a sham,

18:03a commercial strategy

18:04to infiltrate her life

18:05and her inheritance.

18:06The pain of her cousin's

18:11betrayal was acute,

18:13but the discovery

18:14of her own husband's

18:15duplicity was an abyss

18:16that yawned beneath her feet.

18:21She felt more alone

18:22than ever,

18:23surrounded by enemies

18:24who wore the mask

18:25of family and love.

18:29But as the tears

18:31of helplessness

18:31struggled to escape,

18:32a different flame

18:33ignited within her.

18:38A flame cold

18:39and hard as steel.

18:40If she was alone,

18:41she would fight alone.

18:43They had been mistaken

18:44if they thought

18:45Catalina Lujan

18:46was an easy woman to bend.

18:50They had underestimated

18:51her intelligence,

18:53her tenacity

18:53and, above all,

18:54her love for the promise.

18:59The war had only just begun

19:01and she did not intend

19:02to surrender

19:03without putting up

19:03a fight that would

19:04make history.

19:08The tension between

19:09the cousins,

19:10far from dissipating,

19:11exploded that same afternoon.

19:13A dispute over the wages

19:15of the day laborers

19:16became the battlefield.

19:20Martina,

19:21influenced by

19:22Jacobo and Adriano,

19:24advocated drastic cuts

19:25to maximize profits.

19:30Catalina,

19:30on the other hand,

19:31defended the workers,

19:33arguing that their loyalty

19:34and well-being

19:34were the real wealth

19:35of the estate.

19:41We can't squeeze

19:42the people who feed us,

19:43Catalina exclaimed

19:44in the middle of the room,

19:45her voice ringing

19:46with a passion

19:47that caused several

19:48members of the staff

19:48to stop and listen discreetly.

19:50And we can't ruin the promise

19:56because of your sentimentality,

19:58Martina replied,

19:59her face hardening.

20:03Difficult decisions

20:04must be made,

20:05something that you,

20:06with your romantic

20:07and impractical outlook,

20:08seem incapable of understanding.

20:10The clash was brutal,

20:15a collision of two worlds,

20:16of two diametrically

20:17opposed visions.

20:23The truce,

20:24fragile as glass,

20:26shattered

20:26and the sharp fragments

20:27made it clear

20:28that peace was impossible.

20:29The confrontation

20:34had resurfaced

20:35with unusual force

20:36and this time

20:36it dragged all the inhabitants

20:37of the house with it,

20:39dividing them

20:39into irreconcilable factions.

20:45Far from the palace intrigues,

20:47in the vastness

20:47of the forest

20:48surrounding the promise,

20:49hope and fear

20:50fought their own battle.

20:57The search party,

20:58made up of civil guards

20:59and a few volunteer day laborers,

21:01combed the area

21:02where Angela was last seen.

21:06They had not found anything

21:07for days

21:08and were beginning

21:08to feel discouraged.

21:13But then one of the men screamed,

21:15caught in the thorns of a tree.

21:18In a thicket of bramble,

21:20near a stream,

21:21was a small piece of cloth.

21:25A piece of a white maiden's apron,

21:27delicately embroidered

21:28with blue flowers

21:29along the edge.

21:35Salvador,

21:36who had joined the search

21:37against Rumelo's orders,

21:38ran towards it.

21:42His heart stopped

21:43when he recognized it.

21:44It was Angela's.

21:45He knew this

21:46because Rumelo himself

21:47had told him

21:48how much he liked

21:49the embroidery.

21:52A shout of joy

21:53went through the group.

21:55Proof,

21:55the first real proof

21:56that Angela had been there.

22:01She could still be alive,

22:03she could be nearby.

22:05Hope,

22:05which had been a dying ember,

22:07was rekindled

22:07into a bonfire.

22:12The captain of the civil guard

22:14examined the find.

22:15She had been here,

22:16he confirmed,

22:17and not long ago.

22:22The cloth was still clean,

22:24but while euphoria

22:25gripped most,

22:26an elderly day laborer,

22:27one of those who knew

22:28every inch of that forest

22:29like the back of his hand,

22:31frowned.

22:36He approached the thicket,

22:37looked at the ground,

22:38at the way the cloth was caught.

22:39Captain,

22:44he said quietly,

22:45this is not right.

22:47What do you mean,

22:48man?

22:49The officer asked impatiently.

22:55Look,

22:55the old man pointed out,

22:57the thorns are broken outwards,

22:58not inwards.

23:02If she had run past

23:04and gotten caught,

23:05the tear would have been

23:05the other way around.

23:10And look at the ground,

23:12there are no signs

23:12of a struggle,

23:13not even fresh footprints,

23:15except ours.

23:20It's as if,

23:21as if someone had put it here

23:22on purpose,

23:23Salvador finished,

23:24his blood running cold.

23:29The joy vanished

23:30as quickly as it had come,

23:32replaced by an icy terror.

23:37This was not a test,

23:38it was bait,

23:39a trap.

23:40They had been watched.

23:43Whoever had Angela

23:44was playing with them,

23:45leading them where he wanted.

23:50The mystery of her whereabouts

23:52had not been solved,

23:53it had become infinitely darker

23:55and more dangerous.

24:00The forest,

24:01which moments before

24:02had seemed a place of hope,

24:03was transformed once again

24:05into a menacing labyrinth

24:06and they were at the center,

24:07vulnerable and exposed.

24:09Manuel watched this whole whirlwind

24:14from a distance,

24:15self-imposed.

24:17His decision to sell his share

24:18of the family aviation business

24:20had fallen like a bombshell

24:21on his inner circle.

24:22Tonyo,

24:26his friend and partner,

24:27couldn't understand it.

24:29But why,

24:29Manuel?

24:30It was our dream.

24:32He had begged him

24:33during a tense conversation

24:34in the hangar.

24:35We've fought for this for years

24:39and you're just selling it like that,

24:41without further ado.

24:42What are you after?

24:46Manuel couldn't tell him the truth.

24:49He couldn't confess to him

24:50that the money wasn't for a whim

24:51or for a new business venture.

24:53It was a weapon,

24:57the only one he had

24:59to fight the enemies

24:59who had infiltrated his home.

25:04The ultimatum from Cristobal,

25:06Pia and Ricardo,

25:07Angela's disappearance,

25:09Jacobo's strange influence.

25:12Everything was connected,

25:14he felt it in his gut.

25:17Official channels were slow,

25:18corrupt and possibly controlled

25:19by his enemies.

25:24He needed to act on his own.

25:29With part of the money

25:30he had discreetly hired

25:31a private investigator in Madrid,

25:33an ex-policeman renowned

25:34for his efficiency and stealth.

25:38He had given him two missions,

25:40to investigate up to the last corner

25:42of Cristobal Guerrero

25:43and Jacobo de Lujan's past

25:44and, above all,

25:46finding Angela.

25:49It was a risky,

25:51almost desperate bet,

25:52but it was the only one he had.

25:55His intervention for Pia and Ricardo

25:57had been a small tactical victory,

25:59but he knew that he had only gained time.

26:04Cristobal was a snake,

26:06if you cut off his head,

26:07another, more poisonous one would grow.

26:12His new solution was the test.

26:15Separating Pia and Ricardo

26:16from their son

26:17was psychological torture

26:18designed to break their spirits.

26:22And Manuel was not going to allow it.

26:24The illusion that the summary spoke of

26:26was not that of a new air project,

26:28but the illusion of being able

26:29to save his family.

26:34The faith that with the right resources

26:36and acting from the shadows

26:37he could unmask the villains

26:38and restore peace to the promise.

26:40That was why he put up

26:45with Tonyo's incomprehension,

26:47the disappointment in Yana's eyes,

26:49the weight of the secret.

26:53He knew that he had made the right decision,

26:56even though the path that awaited him

26:57was lonely and full of dangers.

26:59The beginning of the end,

27:04a glimmer of hope.

27:06Night fell upon the promise,

27:08but this time darkness

27:09did not bring defeat.

27:14In the hearts of those

27:15who refused to surrender,

27:16small lights began to flicker,

27:18defying the gloom.

27:19In the day laborers shed,

27:25Ricardo Pellicier did not sleep.

27:28Instead of letting himself

27:29be consumed by rage,

27:30his sharp and strategic mind

27:32began to work.

27:36He knew that Cristobal's new nanny

27:38would be his eyes and ears.

27:42She would be his son's jailer,

27:44but she was also a weak link.

27:47He spent the night

27:48drawing up a plan,

27:49not a direct attack plan,

27:51but an intelligence plan.

27:56He would use his contacts

27:57with the field workers,

27:58people invisible to the masters,

28:00to keep an eye on this woman,

28:02to learn her routines,

28:03her weaknesses.

28:07And Pia,

28:08from the inside,

28:09would do the same.

28:11They would communicate

28:12through secret notes

28:13passed by the most loyal maid,

28:14Lopez in the kitchen,

28:16or even Di Guido himself

28:17in his diapers if necessary.

28:18They were not going to accept

28:23Cristobal's torture,

28:25they were going to turn

28:26his own prison

28:26into a weapon against him.

28:31When Pia received

28:32Ricardo's first note at dawn,

28:34hidden in the bread basket,

28:35a single word written

28:36on a piece of rolling paper,

28:39we fought.

28:40Her tears were no longer

28:42tears of despair,

28:43but tears of renewed

28:44and fierce determination.

28:49The monster had separated

28:50them physically,

28:51but he had managed

28:52to forge between them

28:53an unbreakable bond

28:54of resistance.

28:58Vera,

28:59after wandering aimlessly

29:00through the gardens,

29:01took refuge in her

29:02small servant's room.

29:07Federico's words

29:08echoed in her head.

29:09A cacophony of pain

29:10and revelation.

29:15Aluhan,

29:16daughter of a forbidden love,

29:17seemed like a cheap novel,

29:19but deep in her heart

29:20she felt the weight

29:21of the truth.

29:25Then she remembered

29:26a small wooden trunk

29:27that her mother

29:27had always kept locked,

29:29warning her never

29:30to open it.

29:34After her escape,

29:35in an act of rebellion,

29:37she had taken it.

29:38She had never dared

29:39to force the lock.

29:43Until now,

29:44with her heart in her mouth

29:45and using a hairpin.

29:47After several minutes

29:48of tension,

29:49the lock gave way.

29:53There were no jewels inside.

29:55No money,

29:56just a small bundle

29:57of letters tied

29:58with a faded silk ribbon

29:59and a worn leather journal.

30:04The letters were

30:05from Sebastien Lujan

30:07to Aurora Montero,

30:08filled with a love

30:09so pure and intense

30:10that it took Vera's breath away.

30:14And the journal

30:15was from Aurora,

30:16her mother.

30:17The first page began

30:18in elegant,

30:19firm handwriting.

30:21My beloved Sebastien

30:22has died.

30:25I carry our daughter

30:26in my womb,

30:27the only light

30:28I have left

30:28in this world

30:29of darkness.

30:32I will flee,

30:33I will protect her,

30:34I will give her

30:35the future

30:35that was stolen

30:36from her father.

30:38She will be called Vera,

30:39which means truth,

30:40because one day

30:41she will know the truth

30:42and claim what is hers.

30:46Vera closed the journal,

30:47tears falling

30:48onto the leather.

30:48She was no longer lost,

30:53no longer a nameless victim.

30:55Seeing Lujan Montero

30:57and her mother's promise,

30:58written so many years ago,

30:59had become her own mission.

31:04The truth had not destroyed her,

31:06it had made her reborn.

31:08Catalina,

31:09feeling the weight

31:10of her husband's betrayal

31:11and her cousin,

31:12she didn't break down.

31:13Instead,

31:17a calculating coldness

31:18took hold of her.

31:20She realized that

31:21in order to fight snakes

31:22she had to think like one.

31:27That night,

31:28while everyone was asleep,

31:29she went to the kitchen.

31:31She wasn't looking for food,

31:33but for Simona and Candela,

31:34the two women who,

31:35together with Pi,

31:37were the true soul

31:37and memory of the promise.

31:39She found them drinking

31:43an infusion,

31:44their worried faces

31:45reflecting the tension

31:46in the house.

31:50Catalina didn't beat

31:51around the bush,

31:52she told them everything.

31:54Martina and Jacobo's conspiracy,

31:56Adriana's betrayal.

32:00She didn't ask them

32:01for help directly,

32:02but for advice.

32:04And in the wisdom

32:04of those two women,

32:06she found her best allies.

32:09If you want to control

32:12the accounts,

32:13Miss Catalina,

32:14Simona said astutely,

32:15you'll have to go

32:16through the books.

32:21And books sometimes

32:22tell more than they seem,

32:24especially the old ones.

32:28It was a spark.

32:30Catalina remembered

32:31some old accounting books

32:32of her grandfather's

32:33kept in a forgotten chest

32:34in the attic.

32:35Books that could contain

32:39secrets about properties,

32:41debts,

32:41and past business dealings.

32:47Secrets that Jacobo,

32:49in his eagerness

32:49to take possession

32:50of everything,

32:51surely did not know.

32:55Her happy ending

32:56that night

32:57was not a victory,

32:58but the discovery

32:59of a treasure map,

33:00a map that she hoped

33:01would lead her to the weapons

33:02she needed to defend her home.

33:03And for Manuel,

33:10the light came in the form

33:11of an urgent telegram.

33:14His investigator in Madrid

33:15had made an extraordinary

33:16first breakthrough.

33:20A shepherd from a village

33:22near the promise

33:22had testified.

33:24The night of Angela's

33:25disappearance,

33:26he saw a dark car

33:27without license plates,

33:28waiting on a secluded road.

33:30He saw two men

33:35force a young woman

33:35who matched Angela's

33:36description into the vehicle.

33:41And most importantly,

33:43he recognized one of the men.

33:45He was no ordinary thug,

33:46he was a former business partner

33:48of Don Bartolome de Lujan,

33:50Jacobo's father.

33:51A man with a reputation

33:55for violence

33:56and dirty work.

33:57The connection

33:58was undeniable.

34:02Angela's disappearance

34:02was not a crime of passion

34:04or a random kidnapping.

34:06It was directly related

34:08to the power struggles

34:08within the family.

34:09Jacobo and perhaps

34:15Cristobal was behind it all.

34:17Manuel clutched

34:18the telegram in his hand,

34:19a tense but triumphant

34:20smile on his lips.

34:25The enemy had made

34:26their first mistake,

34:28had left a witness.

34:29The chess game

34:30had just turned upside down.

34:36The promise continued

34:37under a dark sky,

34:38but in four different

34:39points of the estate,

34:41four candles had been lit.

34:43Pia and Ricardo's,

34:44the candle of resistance.

34:48Vera's,

34:48the candle of truth.

34:53Catalina's,

34:54the candle of strategy,

34:55and Manuel's,

34:56the candle of justice.

35:01They were small flames,

35:02fragile and solitary,

35:04but together they began

35:05to push back

35:06the overwhelming darkness,

35:07promising a dawn that,

35:08although distant,

35:09was now inevitable.

35:16The war for the promise

35:18was far from over,

35:19but tonight,

35:20for the first time

35:20in a long time,

35:21its true heirs

35:22had won the battle

35:23and that was a happy ending.

35:24a,

35:39the 그러면
