I have a guilty pleasure confession to make: I'm still watching this train wreck. I don't know why. It's like junk food. I know it's bad for me and it doesn't really taste very good, yet I keep on snacking. At least I've finally learned that the show is supposedly set in Florida, USA. Everyone just happens to have Venezuelan accents.
Against his evil sister Eduarda's wishes, Luis Mario (who is kind of an ass, let's be honest) marries poor girl Rosaura. He doesn't love his new wife as he's still longing for his dead wife, Camelia. Only she's not dead and has been running around with her new husband, Patricio. Therefore Luis Mario and Camelia are both bigamists. Camelia and her new hubby have lost almost all their money and things are going sour between them.
When Eva lays a big wet one on Luis Mario (which he does nothing to fight back against), Rosaura loses control and launches into a hair-pulling cat fight. Eduarda tries to convince Luis Mario that Rosaura is lovers with her friend Bruno. Bruno is in love with Rosaura but she sees him as only a friend. Rosarua's evil step mother has her evil daughter pose as Mrs. Cruz's long lost granddaughter. The gullible (and rich) old woman's other daughter, Claudia, remains suspicious of the evil interlopers. This doesn't stop evil step mother and her evil daughter from living it up at Disneyworld.
Eduarda and Eva plot to drive the newlyweds apart. At a swanky birthday party for Eduarda (where all the swanky women dress like cheap hookers) another female friend of Luis Mario's lays a big wet one on him. He again does nothing to fight back against it. Rosaura loses control again and launches into a hair-pulling, cake-throwing, pool-dunking cat fight with the woman. Luis Mario threatens to divorce Rosaura but she cries and cries and cries for another chance.
Luis Mario is unable to get a loan to save the family estate so he returns to New York to work at... say, what does he do? He's got an office and he wears a suit but I have no idea what he's doing. Anyway, he and Gabriel go back up to New York to earn money. Rosaura believes she is pregnant. Eduarda arranges it for Rosaura to be accused of theft. While our heroine is in jail, Eva and Eduarda run over Rosaura's drunk dad and kill him. Bruno pays to get Rosaura out of jail. After her stint in the cooler and the death of her dad, Rosaura swears revenge against the Arismendi family.
Eduarda and Eva successfully cause Rosaura to fall from a horse and have a miscarriage. To put icing on the cake, Eduarda also has her sister-in-law's home trashed. Changing her name to Gabriela, her dead mother's name, Rosaura takes what is left of her family and flees. With the help of a priest, she's able to get a job as a maid at the home of the woman she doesn't know is her grandmother.
Not wanting to be a pauper, Camelia plots to leave Patricio and reunite with Luis Mario. She reappears in her first husband's life acting like she's had amnesia for the last couple of years. Luis Mario totally falls for this. One person who doesn't fall for this act is Eva.
