Perspective
The story begins in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico, where Ana Paula Carmona (Ana Brenda Contreras) lives. As a child, she had to care for her ailing mother. After her mother's death, Ana Paula decided to study nursing so she could always help others.
At the beginning, Ana Paula is about to graduate and meets Bruno (Julián Gil), the lawyer of the fearsome Rogelio Montero (Jorge Salinas). Bruno is looking for a nurse to attend to his boss; the salary is good and Ana Paula accepts the job to financially support her aunt, Rosaura (Ana Bertha Espín), who has looked after her and her brother, Miguel (Osvaldo Benavides), since they were children. Rosaura bitterly complains about having missed opportunities in love in order to raise them and expects them to be the ones to assist her, for which she pretends to be ill. Miguel is the boyfriend of Dany (Íngrid Martz), a bubbly and enthusiastic young woman who tries to change his insecure personality. She is also Ana Paula's best friend; the two studied nursing together.
What Ana Paula doesn't imagine is that she will have to work in very difficult conditions at the "Del Fuerte" ranch, a remote and isolated place. Rogelio's character is very difficult, having not recovered from the consequences of an accident that occurred when he was about to marry Vanesa (Mar Contreras), a frivolous and selfish woman who, upon learning he was disabled, broke up with him. In addition to Rogelio, at the "Del Fuerte” ranch lives his sister, Cinthia (Susana González). She feels trapped because he hasn't given her the inheritance she is entitled to, forcing her to stay by his side to see after him. To avoid boredom, Cinthia begins an affair behind his back with Efraín (Fabián Robles), the ranch's foreman, who truly cares for her.
Ana Paula meets Gustavo Durán (José Ron), a noble and hard-working engineer. They fall in love, but their happiness is cut short when Rogelio also falls for her, forming a love triangle with terrible consequences. When Miguel causes a serious accident and is about to lose his hand and go to prison for life, Rogelio saves him in exchange for Ana Paula marrying him. She sacrifices herself for her brother but has no idea of the ordeal that awaits her at Rogelio's side when he discovers she loves someone else.
