Since then, Altagracia becomes a ruthless and ambitious woman, an unfeeling mother who abandoned her daughter at a young age and uses her charms to amass an empire that allows her to impose law and take justice into her own hands. Despite her considerable success, Altagracia is missing something: love. And, she discovers it for the first time when she meets Saul, an attorney who defends the victims of gender violence. But Saul has already captivated Monica, Altagracia’s estranged daughter. This cold woman will now be cornered by two feelings she had previously avoided: love for her daughter and love for a man.
