Plot
editDéborah San Román is an attractive and ambitious young woman who does not distinguish between good and evil and stops at nothing, not even crime, to achieve her goals; She always sows destruction, suicides, moral and economic misery in her wake. The young girl needs male admiration to feel secure in herself, but when she gets bored of her crush, she does not hesitate to break up with him.
Déborah has never loved anyone, but the moment comes when she falls in love with Rafael Galicia, a young man as unscrupulous as her. Rafael is the owner of a famous antique store that he uses as a cover to sell stolen and contraband items with the intention of providing his brother with economic security, medical services and studies, since he is disabled as a result of a traffic accident that he caused.
During one of Rafael's frequent trips to the US border, Deborah meets Salvador Esparza, the man her sister, Laura, has fallen in love with. Salvador is a very rich widower, whom Deborah easily seduces with her charms, but Salvador's children, Beto and Patricia, detest her from the first moment, and even more so when she marries their father, because they sense that she is after their fortune. Laura, devastated by losing Salvador's love, tries to return to her town, but suffers an accident that leaves her amnesiac, and during that stage she enters a world until then unknown to her.
When Rafael returns, Déborah proposes that they have sex again but now in secret, since she has become a married woman. Meanwhile, Salvador will begin to discover Déborah's machinations and deceptions, who will continue to prejudice and betray everyone around her, but her love and honesty will defeat her.
