00:00Catalina defies blackmail. Loé finds Vera. The night brings no peace to the promise.

00:12Catalina turns her revenge into open warfare when Beltran de Arbusu arrives demanding account books and silence.

00:20The cornered family decides to fight back.

00:23Martina uncovers a money laundering network in the board of trustees and Alonso and Manuel pull strings in Madrid.

00:30Meanwhile, Curro and Angelus set a deadly trap for Lorenzo and hand him over with a confession that sinks him.

00:38And hundreds of kilometers away, Lopez follows a hunch to an Asturian lighthouse, where Vera, Elena, welcomes him amidst tears and the sea, sealing an unexpected return.

00:49The night that followed Catalina's confession was not a night of rest for the promise.

00:53It was a living entity, a monster of shadows and whispers that slithered through the marble corridors and servants, quarters with equal impunity.

01:07The very air seemed to have thickened, burdened with the weight of a truth that once released refused to be contained.

01:12Catalina's revenge against the man from Valladares, an act that for her represented the purest form of poetic justice, had become a time bomb placed in the heart of the Lujan family and its ticking sounded in everyone's ears.

01:28Alonso, the marquis of Lujan, could find no refuge and sleep.

01:36He paced his office like a caged lion, the moonlight casting his restless silhouette on the Persian carpets.

01:42Every object, every book, every family portrait seemed to regard him with an air of reproach.

01:53He had failed.

01:55He had failed to protect his daughter from the poison of his own pain and now that poison threatened to consume everything they had built.

02:01It was not just the reputation of the marquis saint that was at stake, a concern that although present seemed superficial in the immensity of his anguish.

02:13It was Catalina's soul.

02:16He feared that by seeking justice on his own, he had opened a door inside himself to a darkness from which it would be impossible to return.

02:23What kind of man was he if he could not guide his own daughter away from the abyss?

02:31The conversation with Manuel, that fragile but necessary truce, had been a momentary bomb.

02:37But the wound caused by Catalina's revelation was deep, a wound that festered with fear.

02:44In another part of the palace, in her austere chambers, Leocatio was not sleeping either.

02:49Her confrontation with Catalina had not brought her peace, but a bitter confirmation of her worst fears.

02:57She saw in the young woman the same spark of untamed rebellion that had defined her own mother, but corrupted by a thirst for revenge that terrified her.

03:07For Leocatio, honor and justice were not concepts that could be molded at will.

03:12They were immovable pillars, and Catalina had dynamited them.

03:16The harshness of her words toward the young woman came not from disdain, but from visceral panic.

03:25She knew, with the certainty that comes with years and experience, that enemies like the man from Valladares do not simply disappear.

03:33They leave behind ghosts, blood debts that others would be more than willing to collect.

03:37While the aristocracy drowned in their sleeplessness in the kitchens, the silence was even thicker, more painful.

03:49Lopez felt an emptiness in his chest as vast as the ocean.

03:53Vera's absence was a physical presence, a chill that seeped into his bones and that not even the heat of the stove could dispel.

03:59Every corner, every aroma, every sound reminded him of her.

04:07The clink of a spoon, the smell of fresh thyme, the way the morning light streamed through the window.

04:14He repeated his last words to himself.

04:16I'm tired of feeling judged, and each syllable was a dagger in his conscience.

04:20He had judged her, perhaps yes, not with malice, but with the clumsiness of someone who loves and fears, of someone who doesn't understand the scars he can't see.

04:33The idea of her returning to her home, to that past she had fled, made him feel unbearably nauseous.

04:41He couldn't allow it.

04:43Love was evident in the stillness of that desolate kitchen.

04:46It wasn't just feeling, it was acting.

04:48And he hadn't dared to act bravely enough.

04:54Morning arrived like an unwelcome guest, dragging with it the inevitable continuation of the drama.

05:01Martina, with dark circles under her eyes that betrayed her own sleepless night,

05:05dressed with somber elegance for her first meeting with the patronage of the Milagrosa.

05:12She felt like a sacrificial piece on a chessboard, moved to protect the king and queen.

05:18She accepted her role with the resignation of someone who understood duty, but a dull rage boiled beneath her skin.

05:27All to cleanse the family's image.

05:30An image that for her was stained not so much by Catalina's vengeance as by the secrets and hypocrisies that had made it necessary.

05:36Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the gardens, where the dew still glistened on the leaves of the rosebushes,

05:45Kuro and Angela shared a moment of stillen peace.

05:50Their hands sought each other.

05:52Their eyes spoke of a love that had survived terror.

05:54The kidnapping had united them with the strength of steel forged in fire, but freedom was incomplete.

06:06Lorenzo's shadow loomed over them, a poisonous presence that contaminated their happiness.

06:10We know it was him, Angela, Kuro whispered, his voice a mix of certainty and frustration.

06:21But knowing isn't enough without proof.

06:24It's just our word against that of an army captain.

06:29Angela pressed herself against him, seeking warmth and security.

06:32Then we'll find them, Kuro, or we'll make him give them to us himself.

06:38There was no fear in her eyes, but a cold, sharp determination.

06:45Tenderness hadn't quenched her survival instinct, it had strengthened it.

06:49The day slowly unraveled, each hour bringing new tension.

06:56Pia and Ricardo tried to steal glances and knowing smiles from each other as they supervised the tasks of the servants,

07:01silently building the foundations of the future they dreamed of.

07:07But Cristobal's presence was a constant threat.

07:11The new butler imposed by the Dukes of Infantes moved through the promise with a blood-curdling arrogance.

07:18His eyes followed Pia with a predatory intensity and his interactions with Ricardo were charged with barely-veiled contempt.

07:25The war between them was silent but brutal, a struggle for control and power that played out with every order given, every gesture analyzed.

07:38Petra, for her part, fanned the flames, seeing in Cristobal an ally to undermine Ricardo and Pia's authority,

07:44her loyalty to the old mistress Cruz stronger than any sense of decency.

07:48Downstairs in the laundry room, Maria Fernandez scrubbed the clothes with renewed energy,

07:56the memory of her hangover assuaged by gratitude.

08:02Samuel's kindness, his genuine care after her night of excess, had been an unexpected bomb.

08:07He had not judged her, he had not mocked her, he had simply helped her.

08:15When he passed by with a basket of firewood, their eyes met and a spontaneous smile blossomed on Maria's face.

08:23Thank you again, Samuel.

08:25Seriously, he nodded, an almost imperceptible blush staining his cheeks.

08:30Anyone else would have done the same, but they both knew better.

08:35In that gesture, in that wordless connection, something new and delicate began to sprout.

08:41A small flower of hope in a garden full of thorns.

08:46Tonio, oblivious to the storms brewing over the palace, lived in his own bubble of happiness.

08:53Anora had filled his life with a light he didn't think he deserved.

08:56Every day by her side was a gift, and the desire to make it permanent,

09:01to seal their love with a promise, had become overwhelming.

09:07He planned the proposal in his mind with the care of a craftsman,

09:10the perfect place, the exact words, the ring that would symbolize their future.

09:17But now, although he returned her love with equal passion,

09:21he felt the weight of the world more acutely.

09:23Let's go slowly, my love, his soft but firm voice had told her.

09:30Let's give time time.

09:33Her caution was not a lack of love,

09:36but a shield against the fragility of happiness in a place like promise.

09:42And then the first domino fell,

09:44setting off a cascade of events that no one could have foreseen.

09:47Far from returning to the oppressive safety of her home, she had taken a different path.

09:58With what little money she had, she had bought a train ticket north,

10:01to a small coastal village in Asturias, where once, as a child, she had been happy for a summer.

10:07She sought anonymity, a place where her past could not find her,

10:14where Vera's name would not be tied to lies or judgment.

10:18But the past has long and patient tentacles.

10:22Lo, unable to bear another minute of inaction, made a drastic decision that same afternoon.

10:27After a brief, tense conversation with Ricardo in which she could barely articulate her torment,

10:36she hung up her apron and left a note for her companions,

10:39a brief I will return.

10:42And with his savings sewn into the lining of his jacket, he abandoned the promise.

10:49He had no clear plan, only a compass in his heart that pointed in the direction she had gone.

10:53His first stop would be the town to ask questions, to look for any trace,

11:02any clue to the whereabouts of the woman he loved.

11:05He would not give up.

11:07He would fight for her, even if she no longer wanted to fight for herself.

11:14Lopez's departure created a shockwave in the service.

11:17Salvador and Maria Fernandez found the note and a cold panic invaded them.

11:21Where had he gone?

11:24It was fine.

11:26The concern for their friend mixed with the pain of the breakup,

11:29which now seemed even more definitive.

11:33Meanwhile, in the world of the Luhans, the perfect storm was beginning to form.

11:39That same afternoon, a carriage of ostentatious luxury,

11:42lacquered in black and pulled by four impeccable horses of almost unreal perfection,

11:47arrived at the promise.

11:51A middle-aged man got out, impeccably dressed in a London suit that screamed power and money.

11:59His face was a mask of arrogance,

12:01but his steely gray eyes observed everything with a predatory keenness.

12:05He introduced himself to Alonso as Mr. Beltran de Arbusu,

12:11executor and business partner of the late Mr. Valladares.

12:17The visit, he said, was a mere formality to discuss some pending matters of the man's estate.

12:22But from the moment he sat down in the main room, an icy atmosphere settled over the room.

12:32Cruz and Alonso, flanking him, felt an invisible pressure that made their skin crawl.

12:39Beltran spoke in a soft, honeyed voice.

12:42But his words were loaded with ominous meaning.

12:47The man began by turning a glass of brandy between his fingers.

12:53He was a man of many appetites and many partners, partners who greatly valued discretion.

12:58His premature and, let's say, unfortunate death has caused considerable unease in certain circles.

13:08Alonso tensed.

13:09I don't understand what you're getting at, Mr. de Arbusu.

13:13Beltran smiled.

13:14A smile that didn't reach his eyes.

13:18Oh, I think you understand perfectly, Marquis.

13:22Reputation, as you well know, is a very fragile commodity.

13:28And the man's, despite his eccentricities, was intimately linked to that of very influential people.

13:34People who would not look favorably on certain details of their joint business dealings coming to light.

13:43He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in.

13:47A truly incredible story has reached our ears.

13:52A rumor of revenge, a public humiliation orchestrated from within this very house.

13:58By his own daughter, if I'm not mistaken.

14:02The color drained from Alonso's face.

14:06Cruz stifled a cry.

14:08The earthquake had begun.

14:10Consider it a hoax, a malicious invention, Alonso replied.

14:14His voice firmer than he felt.

14:18Beltran let out a dry chuckle.

14:20I would love to, Marquis, I really would.

14:24But my partners are not men who trust words.

14:28They need guarantees.

14:30The stability of their companies depends on it.

14:33She set her glass down with a deliberate click.

14:35What her daughter did, Marquis, was no simple prank.

14:41It was like throwing a stone into a very deep, very murky pond.

14:47And now the ripples are washing up on the shore.

14:50And believe me, they are not good.

14:52The threat was clear, unmistakable.

14:54Catalina had not merely taken revenge on a man.

14:59She had stirred up a hornet's nest.

15:01A web of corruption and power that extended far beyond anything any of them could have imagined.

15:08Beltran had not come to avenge the man.

15:11He had come to contain the damage.

15:13To make sure that the Lujan family cooperated in burying whatever secrets Catalina might have unearthed.

15:18What do they want?

15:22Cruz asked, his voice a shaky thread of haughtiness.

15:25Quote.

15:26Cooperation, Beltran said, standing up to pace the room, examining the portraits as if he were assessing the family's soul.

15:37The man had certain documents, certain ledgers that are now missing.

15:42We believe that your daughter, in her quest for justice, may have come across them.

15:48We want them back, and we want the Lujan family to use their influence to silence any official investigation into the man's death.

15:59For the case to be closed as an unfortunate accident, in return, he stopped in front of the portrait of Alonzo's father.

16:05Quote.

16:07We will make sure that this youthful indiscretion of your daughter has no unpleasant consequences for her or for you.

16:15The proposal was full-blown blackmail.

16:19The promise, their home, had become a gilded prison.

16:25At the same time, miles away, Kuro and Angela's investigation took an unexpected turn.

16:31They decided that a frontal attack was useless.

16:36Lorenzo was too cunning.

16:38He needed to understand a trap, to use his own greed as bait.

16:43With the help of an old military contact of Kuro's, they made a rumor had spread.

16:47They leaked the information that Angela's kidnapper, while fleeing, had lost a bag containing not only the ransom money but also compromising documents about an arm-smuggling ring in which Lorenzo was supposedly involved.

17:00The rumor specified a place where the bag had last been seen, an abandoned hunting cabin on the edge of the promised lands.

17:11They hoped that greed and panic would drive Lorenzo to the cabin to retrieve the non-existent bag, where they could watch him and perhaps record him confessing or searching for something that would incriminate him.

17:24It was a risky plan, but it was the only one they had.

17:30Far from there, Loe had arrived in town.

17:33There was no trace of Vera.

17:37No one had seen her, no one knew anything.

17:40Desperation began to claw at his soul.

17:43But then he remembered something.

17:46A fleeting conversation.

17:48Months before, Vera had told him about her childhood, about a single happy summer in a fishing village in the north, a place called Tzones, where the sea was wild and the kind people.

17:58It was a remote possibility, a needle in a bird, but it was the only thing she could hold on to.

18:09She bought a train ticket to Asturias, a journey into the unknown, driven only by faith and the memory of a smile.

18:17In the patronage of the miraculous, Martina found herself immersed in a sea of boredom and dusty papers.

18:23Her task was to review the accounts of donations from the last few years.

18:29As she did so, her mind drifting, a name caught her attention, a man from Valladares.

18:37His donations were extraordinarily generous, but what surprised her was the irregularity and the way in which they were registered.

18:44They were not checks or direct transfers, but cryptic notes next to names of companies that she did not know at all.

18:53Inversiones del Cantabrico, Promociones del Sur.

18:58Driven by a sudden curiosity, she began to pull the thread.

19:02She searched the records of those companies.

19:04She discovered that they were shell companies, incorporated with minimal capital and no apparent commercial activity.

19:15And most disturbingly, she discovered that some of the other major donors to the trust, respectable names in high society, were also linked to these companies.

19:23The trust, a charitable institution, appeared to be a front for money laundering.

19:33And the man was at the center of the web.

19:36Night fell again on the promise, this time darker and more foreboding.

19:39Alonso gathered his family in the office, his face drawn by the weight of the decision, and told them about Beltran d'Arbusu's visit and the nature of his threat.

19:53The silence that followed was more eloquent than any shout.

19:57Catalina, who had remained defiant and isolated, felt for the first time the ice of true fear.

20:04Her personal vendetta had transformed into a monster that threatened to devour them all.

20:09What are we going to do, father?

20:14Manuel asked, his newfound peace with his father tested in the most brutal way.

20:20I don't know, Alonso admitted.

20:22And in that admission of helplessness, the family felt a tremor in its foundations.

20:29I don't have the documents you're looking for.

20:31Catalina, you?

20:33Catalina shook her pale head.

20:34All I found were his personal letters, evidence of his deception, no business dealings, no accounting books.

20:45So, we have nothing to bargain with, Cruz concluded with a desperation that cracked his mask of coldness.

20:50We are at his mercy, but Catalina, despite her fear, felt a surge of the same determination that had driven her to act in the first place.

21:01No, we will not submit to blackmail.

21:06We will fight.

21:07If what they wanted was discretion, let's give them a scandal.

21:12Let's expose them.

21:14Are you crazy?

21:14Cruz exclaimed.

21:15They would destroy us.

21:17They are already destroying us, Catalina replied, her voice gaining strength.

21:21They are drowning us in fear.

21:25I would rather go down fighting than live on my knees.

21:28His daughter's words resonated with Alonso.

21:32He saw in her not a reckless girl, but a woman with the courage that he himself had perhaps lacked.

21:40The decision was forged deep inside him.

21:42They would not surrender.

21:44As the Lujan family prepared for war, Lorenzo took the bait.

21:47The rumor about the missing bag had sent him into a state of panic.

21:55There was no arm smuggling ring, but the fear that his other shenanigans would come to light,

22:00mixed with the greed to recover the ransom money, clouded his judgment.

22:06Under cover of darkness, he headed for the hunting cabin.

22:11Kuro and Angela, hidden among the trees, watched as he crept up like a vermin.

22:17They saw him enter the cabin and begin searching frantically, cursing under his breath.

22:25This was the moment.

22:27Burrow had prepared a small device, a smoke generator that would fill the cabin and force him out.

22:34But something went wrong.

22:36Lorenzo, in his search, stumbled upon the device before they could activate it.

22:40He instantly realized it was a trap.

22:45His face contorted into a mask of fury.

22:49He left the cabin, but not running away, but searching for his captors.

22:54Come out wherever you are, cowards.

22:56Did they think they could fool me?

22:59Kuro and Angela froze.

23:01The hunter had become the hunted.

23:04Lorenzo pulled out his service pistol.

23:06I know they're out there, and when I find them, they'll wish they'd never been born.

23:11The game had changed.

23:14Now it was a matter of life and death.

23:17Lopez's journey was an odyssey of discomfort and anxiety.

23:22The rattling of the train was the rhythm of his heartbeat.

23:26Each stop, each new face in the carriage heightened his sense of drifting.

23:30When he finally reached Tazen, the smell of salt in the sea filled his lungs.

23:39The town was small, a handful of colorful houses huddled around a tiny port.

23:45It was beautiful, but also a maze of narrow streets where a person could easily disappear.

23:50He began his search in the simplest way, asking questions.

23:58He showed a small photograph of Vera that he kept in his wallet, at the tavern, at the market, to the fishermen mending their nets.

24:07The answer was always the same.

24:09A shake of the head, a name that sounded foreign.

24:12The sun began to set, turning the sky orange and purple, and Lopez's hope began to fade with the light.

24:24Exhausted and disheartened, he sat on the dock, watching the waves crash against the rocks.

24:30He was alone, hundreds of miles from home, chasing a ghost.

24:34That's when an old woman, her face lined like a coastal map, sat down next to him.

24:43Her name was Carmina.

24:45He'd seen her asking all day.

24:47Are you looking for the girl in the portrait?

24:49She asked in a soft, raspy voice.

24:54Lope nodded, not daring to hope.

24:57I haven't seen her, the old woman said, and Lopez's heart sank.

25:01But that look remained, that sadness in her eyes.

25:07She reminds me of another young woman who arrived here a couple of days ago.

25:12She calls herself Elena.

25:14She's staying in the old lighthouse house, she says she's come to paint.

25:20A whirlwind of emotions shook Lope.

25:23Elena, it could be her, she'd change her name to start over.

25:26He thanked Carmina with an effusiveness that made her smile and without thinking twice he ran along the path that climbed towards the cliff.

25:35Towards the solitary silhouette of the lighthouse that stood out against the twilight.

25:41Back in the forest near the promise, the tension was unbearable.

25:46Lorenzo circled the area where he knew Kuro and Angela were hiding.

25:49I know it was you, Kuro.

25:54You've always been a nuisance.

25:56And you, I should have let you die.

26:00Kuro knew they couldn't stay there forever.

26:03He had to do something.

26:04Quote.

26:05He whispered to Angela to stay still and in a quick, bold movement he threw a rock into a distant bush.

26:10The sound diverted Lorenzo's attention for a second, a second that Kuro used to pounce on him from the opposite side.

26:22The fight was brutal and desperate.

26:25They were two men fighting not for honor, but for survival.

26:31Lorenzo, the bigger man, had the advantage, but Kuro fought with the fury of someone protecting the person he loves.

26:36They rolled on the forest floor among leaves and branches.

26:43Lorenzo's gun went off, the bullet whistling harmlessly into the night sky.

26:50Angela, overcoming her paralysis, grabbed a thick branch and with a piercing scream hit Lorenzo in the back of the head.

26:59The captain collapsed unconscious.

27:02They gasped, covered in dirt and sweat, staring into each other's eyes in the moonlight.

27:06They had won, but the real victory was yet to come.

27:13In the promise, the Lujan family had decided their course of action.

27:18They would not wait for the Beltran's attack, they would strike back.

27:23Martina, with her discovery about the patronage, had given them the weapon they needed.

27:27Charity was the perfect cover for a money-laundering and extortion ring.

27:36The man was not just a libertine, he was the treasurer of a white-collar criminal organization.

27:41Alonso, using his contacts in Madrid, arranged an urgent meeting with an upright judge who owed him an old favor.

27:53Manuel, for his part, used his knowledge of aviation and his contacts in the military to investigate the shell companies,

27:59discovering that they were linked to the illegal importation of parts and technology, a business much dirtier than they imagined.

28:06Catalina, with her intimate knowledge of the man's papers, was able to contextualize the information by connecting names and dates that would otherwise make no sense.

28:18For the first time in a long time, the Lujans were not a decaying marquis sate, but a family united by a common purpose.

28:29Lopez's race to the lighthouse seemed to last an eternity.

28:33His heart hammered against his ribs, a mix of hope and fear.

28:39And if it wasn't her, and if it was a false alarm, he reached the door of the old stone house breathless.

28:48The light of an oil lamp flickered inside.

28:51He took a deep breath and knocked.

28:55The door opened slowly and there she was, Vera or Elena, as she now called herself.

29:02Her hair was loose, ruffled by the sea breeze.

29:06She wore a simple dress and there was a smudge of blue paint on her cheek.

29:09Her eyes widened, a mixture of shock, disbelief and something else, something that looked like relief.

29:21Loke whispered as if he saw a ghost.

29:24Vera, he said, his voice cracking.

29:28I've found you.

29:30They didn't move for a long second, the sound of the waves crashing beneath them filling the silence.

29:35Then she stepped back, letting him in.

29:40The interior was spartan, but cozy.

29:45There was an easel with a half-painted canvas depicting a stormy sea.

29:50What? she asked.

29:53I remembered what you told me about bulls.

29:56It was a hunch.

29:57He stepped closer, to her slowly, as if he were approaching a frightened animal.

30:01Vera, I have been a fool, a blind man.

30:07I was so afraid of your past, of what it might mean, that I failed to see the only thing that mattered.

30:14I failed to see the damage I was doing to you with my doubts.

30:16I didn't judge you.

30:18I judged my own fears.

30:21And for that, I am sorry.

30:23I am more sorry than I can put into words.

30:26Silent tears began to roll down Vera's cheeks.

30:28I had to go, low.

30:33I needed to breathe.

30:35I needed to be someone other than the girl who ran away.

30:38The girl with a secret.

30:41Here I am just Elena, the painter.

30:44You can be whoever you want to be, Vera.

30:47He said, his voice filled with newfound conviction.

30:49But you don't have to do it alone.

30:54Your past does not define you, your strength does.

30:57Your courage, your kindness.

31:00That is what I love.

31:01I love Vera.

31:02I love Elena.

31:03I love the woman who stands before me.

31:06And I have come to tell you that I will not leave without you unless that's what you truly want.

31:10If you want me to go, I will.

31:14But I want you to know that I will fight for you every single day for the rest of my life.

31:20She looked at him, and in her eyes he saw the conflict.

31:23The desire to stay in that safe haven and the longing to return to the one place where she had ever truly felt home despite the pain.

31:29My father, she began, if I return to him, we will face your father together, he interrupted.

31:41You don't have to run anymore.

31:43Your home is wherever you choose it to be.

31:45And I hope, I hope you choose that your home is with me.

31:49And then she closed the distance between them and kissed him.

31:53It was a kiss salty with tears in the sea, a kiss of forgiveness, of reunion, and of promise.

32:00In that moment, in that lonely house by the sea, two broken souls began to heal.

32:07The next day was the day of reckoning for the enemies of promise.

32:12Curro and Angela handed Lorenzo over to the Guardia Civil, bound and gagged, along with a confession they managed to extract from him once he regained consciousness.

32:21A confession full of arrogance and resentment that incriminated him without a doubt in the kidnapping and other crimes.

32:29His reign of terror was over.

32:31In Madrid, Alonso and Manuel presented their dossier to the judge.

32:37The evidence was overwhelming.

32:39The network of corruption that Martina had uncovered, connected to the illegal imports that Manuel had investigated.

32:45And all of this, cemented by Catalina's revelations, painted a picture of a criminality so widespread that it shook the foundations of power.

32:55The judge, a man of principle, acted swiftly.

32:59Arrest warrants were issued.

33:00Beltran d'Arbusu was having tea in the Jardin de la Promesa, waiting for the Marquis to submit.

33:09When the Guardia Civil arrived, his face, for the first time, lost its composure.

33:13The mask of affability shattered, revealing the ugly face of fear.

33:21He tried to bluff, to threaten, but it was too late.

33:25The network had fallen, and it had fallen thanks to the family he had tried to destroy.

33:29The days that followed were a whirlwind of news and revelations.

33:36The scandal rocked high society.

33:40Important names were arrested.

33:42Fortunes were confiscated.

33:44The Board of Trustees of La Milagrosa was raided, and it was discovered that the embezzlement was massive.

33:52Amidst the chaos, the Lujan family held together not as suspects but as the key witnesses who had dismantled the organization.

33:59Catalina's revenge, the act that nearly destroyed them, had become their salvation.

34:10She had exposed a rot that if kept hidden would eventually have consumed them all.

34:17Far from being an outcast, Catalina was seen, at least within the walls of La Promesa, as an unlikely heroine.

34:24Her relationship with Alonso, forged in the crisis, was stronger than ever.

34:31A week later, two figures walked hand-in-hand down the driveway of La Promesa.

34:35It was Lopez and Vera, they were returning home.

34:41The service greeted them in a wave of relief and joy.

34:46There were hugs, tears, and laughter.

34:49Vera looked at Lopez, and her smile was the brightest he had ever seen her smile.

34:53There were no shadows in her eyes anymore.

34:58She had written her father a brief but firm letter.

35:02In it, she was not renouncing her title or her inheritance, but her control.

35:07She informed him that she had chosen her own life, and that life lay in the promise with the man she loved.

35:12It was not a request for permission, but a declaration of independence.

35:20She knew there would be consequences, but for the first time she was not afraid of them.

35:27Life in the promise began to find a new balance, a new normal build on a more solid foundation of truth and trust.

35:33Pia and Ricardo, freed from the threat of Cristobal, who had been implicated as a minor pawn in Valladares' network and summarily dismissed, could finally breathe.

35:48One afternoon, as the sun set over the fields, Ricardo took Pia's hand.

35:55There is nothing now that can stop us, Pia.

35:58Let's build that future.

35:59And in the tranquility of that moment, their love, patient and resilient, finally had space to blossom.

36:08Tonyo, seeing Lopez and Vira return and the happiness they radiated, decided he couldn't wait any longer.

36:16He led Enora to the riverbank, where the crying babies skimmed the water.

36:21He hadn't planned a grand speech, just the words that came straight from his heart.

36:25He pulled out a small wooden ring that he had carved himself.

36:32Enora, you have made my world better in every way.

36:36I don't want to spend a single day without you.

36:39Will you marry me on time?

36:40This time he didn't ask for time.

36:44Her eyes filled with tears of happiness and she nodded, throwing herself into his arms.

36:49Yes, Tonyo, yes, I do.

36:54The bond between Maria Fernandez and Samuel had also deepened.

37:00They spent time together sharing stories and dreams.

37:04One night, sitting on the kitchen steps, under a sky full of stars, Samuel confessed his feelings for her.

37:10Maria, since you arrived, you have brought joy to this place.

37:17To my life, I would like that.

37:21I would like the chance to get to know you better.

37:25If you want, Maria, whose heart had been confused for so long, felt a sudden clarity.

37:34Samuel's kindness and steadfastness were the anchor she needed.

37:36She took his hand and smiled at him.

37:40I would like him very much too, Samuel.

37:43The promise had survived its darkest storm.

37:48The Lujan family, though scarred, was closer than ever.

37:53Alonso and Manuel worked side by side, father and son finally in tune.

38:00Catalina had found peace, not in revenge, but in the justice it had unexpectedly brought.

38:07Curro and Angela, free of Lorenzo, planned their wedding, a bright and fearless future stretching out before them.

38:16That night in the kitchen, as life returned to its familiar rhythm, Lopez prepared dinner.

38:21Vera was at his side peeling potatoes.

38:27They didn't talk much, didn't need to.

38:29The comfortable stillness between them was more eloquent than any words.

38:34He stopped, looked at her, and brushed a lock of hair from her face.

38:38Elena, the painter, joked quietly.

38:40She smiled, a genuine, light-filled smile.

38:47Sometimes, but mostly I am Vera.

38:51And I am home.

38:53Lopez kissed her softly.

38:54The past would always be a part of them.

38:56But it was no longer a chain, it was just the stories that had led them to this moment.

39:04The promise, with all its secrets and dramas, its hierarchies and passions, had proven to be more than a palace or a workplace.

39:11It was a home, a home that had been shaken to its foundations but had endured and now, under the still light of the moon, promised a more hopeful tomorrow for all who lived within its walls.

39:25The echo of secrets had faded, replaced by the sound of laughter, love, and the promise of a happy ending.
