Bernardo Elizondo owns a ranch where he lives with his wife, Doña Gabriela; his daughters, Norma, Jimena, and Sara; Norma's husband, Fernando Escandón; and his father-in-law, Don Martín Acevedo, a retired and paralyzed military officer.
Norma and Fernando's marriage was arranged by Doña Gabriela to hide the fact that Norma had been a victim of rape. However, the marriage is in name only and has not been consummated due to Norma's trauma. Furthermore, Gabriela is in love with Fernando, which is why she forces her daughter to marry him to keep him close.
Although Bernardo is in love with Libia Reyes, a humble young woman, he knows he cannot marry her because Gabriela, a despotic and old-fashioned woman, would never grant him a divorce. Despite this, Bernardo is determined to break away from everything to live his love with Libia and decides to formally introduce himself to the young woman's brothers: Juan, Óscar, and Franco Reyes. Although they initially disapprove of the relationship, they eventually accept it, considering that their sister's happiness depends on it.
Unfortunately, Bernardo has a horseback riding accident and dies. At the same time, Libia discovers she is pregnant and, upon learning of Bernardo's death, decides to go to the Elizondo house to claim the money that is rightfully hers. However, she is frightened and unsure whether she should go. When she finally arrives at the ranch, Doña Gabriela humiliates and scorns her family. Desperate, Libia flees and ends up committing suicide by jumping off a bridge.
When the Reyes brothers learn what happened, they vow to avenge their sister's death. To do so, they go to the Elizondo ranch, posing as construction workers hired by Doña Gabriela to build a cabin intended for Norma and Fernando. This plan is made possible with the help of Eva Rodríguez, the Elizondos' housekeeper, who also seeks revenge against Gabriela, as she was forced to give up her only daughter, Ruth, for lacking the means to support her.
Upon meeting the Elizondo sisters, Óscar Reyes tries to convince his brothers to abandon their plans for revenge and instead seduce the sisters to "pay them back in kind." However, his true intention is to obtain the Elizondos' money to improve his financial situation. His brother Juan disagrees with this plan but changes his mind after meeting Norma, as the two feel an immediate attraction.
This attraction makes Juan completely forget his plans for revenge, although the relationship between him and Norma will face numerous obstacles that they must overcome together.
Season 2
Twenty years after coming together, the life of the Reyes Elizondo family is prosperous and peaceful. The family known as one of the most influential in the city of San Marcos, where they live and do business. However, their idyllic life shatters after Erick and León Reyes, the twin sons of Juan and Norma, are accused of murder. This accusation is only the first of a series of successive events that arrive to disrupt the lives of Juan & Norma, Oscar & Jimena, Franco & Sara. The new generations of Reyes, the now-grown children of the respective couples, will also face challenges that will change their lives forever.
