There's a lot on your plate with Adriana's return.
I don't want to see you anymore.
It isn't our time.
Noelia won't take kindly to you sleeping out here.
Are you insane?
You think I'd spend the night with you as if nothing happened?
What happened? Are you in love?
Is that why you're not interested in me anymore?
If you leave again, you'll lose Daddy.
We have to come up with a plan that uses your beauty.
Why are you telling me that?
Camila Del Rio wants to take him from you.
She and Dad are practically boyfriend and girlfriend.
Camilita Del Rio, you look amazing.
My husband's love is doing wonders for you, isn't it?
Aren't you going to ask me to have a seat?
You were more polite when you thought I was a millionaire.
No, no.
You were more of a people pleaser
when you pretended to be someone else.
It seems you changed your name and your personality,
even if you keep wearing someone else's clothes.
Mariana del Molino hasn't changed at all.
Unlike you, she doesn't need anyone's approval.
You saw my husband, you fell for him,
and if I hadn't come back in time,
you would've taken him for yourself.
I don't take anything from anyone and I don't steal.
Much less from innocent people.
That wasn't the impression I got
when I saw your picture in the papers.
What are your intentions with Cesar?
If this is the typical spoiled, rich girl whim,
my husband and daughter don't need that.
You're the capricious one.
I care for the people I love,
and that includes not hurting them.
Oh, wow!
You really are interested then.
Well, now I'm curious. What's the plan?
Do you want to be Cesar's girlfriend?
Do you want to be a stepmother to my daughter?
Do you care about Cesar and Noelia now?
After you made them think you were dead to make some money?
Just so you know, I've always cared for them.
I adore them in my own way.
I know that sooner or later they'll be miserable with you
because I know your family.
I've experienced your mother's wickedness first-hand.
She'll never accept Cesar! We both know it.
Renata made my life hell
when she found out I was dating your brother
and you'll go through the same thing with Cesar.
My story with Cesar doesn't concern you.
What does concern us both are your lies.
Why don't you tell me what you want from him
and why you told Estela your husband wanted to kill you?
Who shot Estela Montoya?
You shouldn't be here.
Didn't you see the press outside?
You don't want to put your wife, the heroine,
in a difficult situation.
I need to talk to Adriana.
I need explanations, answers.
Well, go get them elsewhere. Stop bothering my family.
If Adriana comes back, please tell her to call me.
I almost paid $5 million to rescue her.
The least she can do is face me!
I'm not your secretary.
What you do with your money is your business.
Leave.
Did Mommy's friend leave?
He may be able to help us get her to say.
No, sweetie. Don't worry about him, okay?
We'll talk to Mom when she gets back.
What matters is that you know that Mom loves you.
And that she's thinking of you even when she's not around.
That's not what I want! I want her to stay!
Why, Dad?
Why can't Mom be like Gaby's mom?
She makes Gaby tasty meals,
she comforts her when she falls,
and she bakes her cakes even though she can't have sugar.
Sweetie, we don't choose our parents
and people show their affection in different ways.
I'm sure Gaby's parents don't tickle her when she's sad!
Let go, Dad! This isn't funny!
She's my mommy
and you want her to leave so you can date Camila.
No, sweetie, not at all. Don't say that.
I wish Mommy loved me as much as I love her.
Sweetheart...
Noelia!
Let's not talk about splitting up or distancing ourselves.
You made your choice, Ale.
I told you to stay with me, that I'd care for you...
but you chose Paco.
And that's okay, but I won't be anyone's second choice.
You're not my second choice.
You're the only man I love and want.
You made your choice.
And I don't want to be in someone else's shadow.
I have my own plans.
Oh, yeah?
What are those plans?
First, I'll start by forgetting you a bit.
Chuy, don't.
Then, I'll find a pretty girl who's not as ambitious as you.
Someone who'll be happy with a little house by the sea
and with a man like me.
I'll keep a beautiful garden for her, I'll love her,
and I'll kiss her every night for the rest of her life.
That sounds very nice and very tempting.
Not to you it doesn't.
That's not a life for a woman like you,
someone who wants to achieve so many important things.
Someone who fails to see the beauty of the sea
or an honest kiss.
Chuy, are you in there, sweetheart?
Think about it.
If I were a thief, like you say I am,
I would've been smarter.
For starters, I would've stolen some of the nice things I see.
Most of all, I would've realized
how beneficial it was to marry Francisco Javier
before I ever settled for a million dollars from Renata.
Do you regret the terrible deal you made?
Not really.
I knew I could never be with Francisco Javier.
Your mother did everything she could to break us up
and the same will happen to you.
I already said I won't discuss that with you.
You won't because you know I'm right.
At the end of the day, Renata always gets her way.
If she does, there will be two broken hearts.
Cesar's and Noelia's.
They'll be so disappointed after you abandon them.
I'm trying to help Cesar stay out of prison,
but it's been very difficult because of your lies.
Therefore, answer my question.
Why'd you tell Estela that your husband wanted to kill you?
Oh!
I understand.
I know why you like Cesar.
You thought he could be a murderer
and the idea of danger turns you on.
Nice!
No, Adriana.
I'm not attracted to anyone with a killer instinct.
Unlike you, I'm drawn to men who make me happy,
who make me feel comfortable and loved.
Cesar does that very well.
You didn't like that, did you? Is that why you left?
It wasn't because you were in danger like you told Estela.
I didn't say that to Estela.
She was confused.
She was obsessed with me.
She started to investigate everything about me
and she soon realized that I was married.
That's none of your business. What's the matter with you?
Why are you lying?
Why are you making everyone think that you're single?
-What do you want? -Hey, please calm down.
First you make a scene with Tomas and now this?
We're not your property.
She slapped me and then she told me she hated me.
"Everyone will know that you're a liar
and that your husband is as crazy as you.
I saw him hurt you!"
So Estela had seen Cesar? She said she saw him hurt you.
The man Estela saw me with was someone else.
I didn't want to go into detail, but Estela never met Cesar.
And who's this other man Estela believed to be your husband,
the man who shot her?
Someone dangerous.
Someone who's still obsessed with me.
Someone you'd never want in your life.
Who is he?
I want the name of the man she mistook for Cesar.
That information can keep him out of prison.
I'm very sorry, Camila, but I'm not going to tell you that.
I'd be risking Cesar and Noelia far too much.
You have to, Adriana.
If Cesar goes to prison, Noelia would lose her father.
She would, wouldn't she?
And that's there you come in! Help him!
Use your family's connections.
Ferrer stands to lose everything in court.
He could go to prison for years.
10, 20, even 30 years!
When he's released,
his daughter will be an adult who's as damaged as her mother.
No, Cesar isn't going to prison.
He's innocent. He doesn't need you.
That's not the way the world works, sweetie.
You have a powerful family with contacts and wealth.
Why else do you think Tomas is under house arrest
and not in a cell?
Accept the privilege we have and take advantage of it
because it can save your boyfriend.
What is it?
You know I'm right, don't you?
I'm aware of the situation.
Your mother will help you
so long as you stay away from Cesar.
There must be another way.
There isn't, Camila.
There isn't! Wake up!
If you like my husband this much, it's obvious you do,
then keep him out of prison.
If you distance yourself,
you'd keep Noelia from being abandoned yet again.
I did my share.
I tried to clear Cesar's name in the eyes of the law.
It's up to you
to keep your family from sending him to prison.
Hurry, Chuy. Mrs. Renata is looking for you.
-Olga. -Ma'am.
Maybe Alejandra stopped by,
but she probably left after she had a run in with Francisco.
Do you know why she didn't take her car?
I'm going to call her.
Chuy! Chuy, please hurry.
You're shameless!
Chuy!
Your brother...
Your brother made me feel loved.
I would've happily stayed with him.
Francisco is a sweetheart.
But I quickly realized your mother wouldn't allow it.
Just like she won't allow you to be with Cesar.
Adriana, please don't compare yourself to Cesar.
There's no difference between us in your mother's eyes.
We're people who'll never be at her children's level.
Don't jeopardize Cesar's freedom.
Noelia can live without me, I've prepared her for it.
But not without Cesar.
Cesar has been a father and a mother to her.
Is everything okay, Camila?
Easy, Escobar. I was already leaving.
So tell me, what happened with Gloria from HR?
If you only knew.
Don't even... Don't even tell me.
I know you were successful.
That trick is fail-proof with women.
Look at you.
Adriana.
Tell me.
I'm sorry, but I'm out of time.
Just remember that I can vanish 100 times over,
but only my death will rid you of me.
It was great to see you, handsome.
Keep going after them!
Will do.
Baby, I'd love to have some shots and take over the world.
Stop looking at me like that.
You were one of my few friends, I swear.
You don't treat a friend like you treated me.
If you really want to pay me back, go visit Tomas.
You like him, don't you? Look at you!
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy.
In fact, you'd be the perfect mother for his babies.
You know what to do. Go for it.
Close your eyes, don't think about it, and just go for it.
Bye.
What did Adriana say?
That Cesar is innocent.
He didn't shoot Estela.
My intuition was right.
That's great, Camila.
Not really.
Adriana's right.
I can save Cesar if I stay away from him.
Have a seat, Detective Barros.
-Thank you. -Thank you for coming.
I prefer to come see you.
It feels a bit more formal.
Plus, it's safer than talking over the phone.
Sure.
I don't have good news, ma'am.
For starters, you're not keeping your end of the bargain.
Furthermore, Adriana denies her husband is guilty of anything.
Plus, your daughter-in-law is also defending him.
That makes it very difficult to send Cesar to prison.
That's just what I needed.
The conman is seen as a victim in this country.
In any case, I didn't come here to talk about what Adriana said
but rather what I found in her cell phone.
Should I be worried?
We went through her phone
hoping to find a clue about the kidnapper.
We found that someone was calling Adriana very often.
This person also left her many messages.
They seemed very close.
I hope you understand that Francisco Javier
can't be caught up in that right now.
No, it wasn't your son.
I'm very sorry to be the one to tell you this,
but the messages were sent by...
the messages were sent by your husband.
