      Plot


      Alejandra Martínez is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who has dedicated her life to the medical profession in order to rise above her humble origins. She believes children are a burden and source of obstacles, as happened with her mother Caridad Martínez who had 5 children from different men, believing that men could save her from her loneliness, but all left her. After a year of medical internship and social work in the rural areas of her country, Alejandra returns to her neighborhood in Caracas where she gets a job at a local hospital. There, she will face the director, famous surgeon Alejandro Antúnez where she reveals to him that she is his illegitimate daughter and she is determined to prove she does not need him to succeed. Everyone at the hospital, including Alejandro, respect Alejandra, except for Luis Jose Báez, a medical intern from Argentina who is macho and a womanizer. The attraction between Alejandra and Luis José will be hidden under the constant conflicts they have. But after a brief relationship, Alejandra discovers she is pregnant, thus repeating her mother's story.
      Mireya, the wife of Luis José, arrives in Caracas from Argentina to win her husband back. Obsessed with the fear that Luis José will abandon her because she is older than him, she has spent years playing with his emotions making him believe he is to blame for the death of their son although she was the one who provoked an abortion. Discovering Alejandra is expecting her husband's child, she looks for ways to eliminate her. She seeks the support of Morela, the selfish and arrogant wife of Alejandro Antúnez. Morela always knew about Alejandra's existence, but never told her husband so that he could pay more attention to their daughter Alicia, a repressed child who ends up falling into alcoholism.
