Plot
[edit]Tomás is the CEO of a chain of Mexican handicraft stores and travels to Querétaro with his team to participate in one of the most important craft fairs in the country. At this event he meets Gabriela San José, an independent and self-reliant woman, who goes to the fair as an exhibitor of handicrafts made in association with a group of women entrepreneurs. When Tomás meets Gabriela, he sees the woman he has always dreamed of and decides to win her over. She sees in him the ideal man and doesn't hesitate to give him a chance. What they don't know is that Jaime, Tomás' father, was the great love of Beatriz, Gabriela's mother.
In the past, Jaime and Beatriz loved each other without measuring the consequences of social class differences and that is why Leonor San José, Beatriz's mother, was about to kill Jaime, until he had to leave town, vowing to return one day to take revenge. When Tomás and Gabriela decide that they are right for each other, they receive separate news: Beatriz has had an accident and Gabriela must return to town. When she leaves, Tomás receives a call telling him that his father suffered an accident and is dead.
At their funeral, Tomás and Gabriela learn that Jaime and Beatriz were in the same car that rolled into an abyss. Tomás and Gabriela refuse to believe that they are the children of two people who loved each other so much in the past, a past they were completely unaware of. Tomas decides that he will stay in Todos Los Santos to take revenge for his father's death. His pain becomes overwhelming and he is willing to do anything to achieve his goal, but Gabriela is in the middle of it all, since she is the granddaughter of Leonor San José, the woman Jaime hated the most and the main suspect of what happened to him.[4]
