You know Mariana took the money and ran,
so will you please stop using my sister?
I'm not using her.
Camila's an incredible woman. I never used her.
But now that I know Adriana left me for the money,
don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow.
You're a good-for-nothing loser.
If you don't tell me what's happening...
Cesar is Mariana del Molino's husband.
What did you say?
Shouldn't my mother be here with you planning the wedding?
She's in the study with Cesar.
I didn't know the carpenter's name was Cesar.
His name's Cesar Ferrer.
Would you prefer to be home or in jail?
Whatever you're playing at, you don't need to worry.
I'm going to tell Camila.
I want you to tell her the following.
Your wife is still alive.
Camila was nothing but a fling,
and you're going to leave without saying goodbye.
What?
The only way you can remain close to your daughter
is by staying away from mine.
If you don't, I'll put you in jail.
Ma'am, my daughter is all I've got.
And Camila has her mother to defend her too.
You help me protect my daughter from you
and I'll help you keep yours.
I understand that the circumstances under which
I entered your home weren't the best,
and I know you think I used Camila to get the job...
No, I don't think it. That's what you did.
No.
You used my daughter to find Mariana or whatever her name is.
Her name was Adriana, and you knew.
You knew she was deceiving everyone,
using Mariana del Molino as a pseudonym.
You knew and didn't tell anyone.
You knew she had a husband and child.
Whatever her name is, you used my daughter.
You have to understand, I was desperate.
I needed to find out what was happening.
But things changed.
And in that time, I developed feelings for Camila.
Your feelings mean nothing to me.
I am protecting my family.
Protecting?
Yes.
You're asking me to break Camila's heart.
It's my sole method to get her to stop being so idealistic,
thinking she can change the world.
Have a heart, will you?
What we feel is real.
You infiltrated my house using deception,
and you're not exactly what I'd call a great catch.
I will erase you from my daughter's memory.
You think you can around life buying people off?
Well, it worked on your wife.
I told you! Adriana isn't my wife!
She and I are very different.
You're right, and that makes you even more dangerous.
That's why I want you far away from Camila.
Some fights you can't win. You know this.
Don't worry.
I'll say goodbye to Camila.
No.
I've reconsidered, and you're not saying goodbye to anyone.
If you say goodbye to Camila, she'll chase after you,
but if you break her heart like I'm asking you to,
if you disappear forever and she thinks you never loved her,
the story will end here for all involved.
You're going to disappear. Period.
Noelia, baby, where are you?
Noelia.
Please leave message.
Son, please answer the phone.
Noelia's nowhere to be found.
She emailed her mother, wanting to know
if the reason she left was for money,
and that evil Adriana said yes
and that she's not coming back.
My God.
Son, please call me.
Noelia?
I understand your distrust,
but Camila's capable of making her own decisions.
No, sir.
If I let her make her own decisions,
she'd end up living under a bridge
and giving away my fortune to bums like you.
Her love for me won't end simply because you think
I'm a bad catch.
And that is why when she comes looking for you,
you'll have to have a good argument at your disposal,
because I want to hear her say that she hates you
and wants nothing to do with you ever again.
Are you that afraid of your children
making their own decisions of who to be with?
Are you that unhappy in your own marriage?
Be realistic.
You and my daughter come from different worlds.
You were her brother's lover's husband.
Do you really think we can live in peace
under the pall cast by that?
Do you think that, knowing that, my daughter could be happy?
And, furthermore, finding out you deceived her
to get close to us?
I had to increase my offer a few times,
but in the end,
Adriana, Mariana or whatever she's going by these days,
named a price to leave her daughter.
I told you Adriana and me are not the same!
Thank God!
You're going to cost me much less.
Hold on to them.
I've got plenty of copies.
What are you doing in my house, bastard?
Ask your mommy.
It's not worth it, Francisco.
I've already taken care of him. Let him go.
Poor Camila.
She has no idea who she's got around her.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Son, please answer the phone.
Noelia's nowhere to be found.
Your brother locked himself in the study with Renata.
Francisco Javier got weird when he heard Cesar's name, right?
Look, Camila, I love you like a sister,
but if you really want to put it on the line for him,
the blowback from your family and from our social circle
will be intense.
You think your brother already knew him?
No, obviously not.
But maybe Chuy ran and told him
that he saw you and Cesar together.
Camila...
Now I understand why he had so much dirt on our family.
He was here the whole time.
What I can't forgive is how he took advantage of Camila.
He was in the house all this time
and I'm just now seeing the bastard.
He's just like his wife.
I'm really sorry, son, but I did what any mother would've done.
If that woman had turned down the money,
we'd both know that her love for you was real.
We need to tell Camila the truth.
No, under no circumstances.
Mom, Camila has to know who she let into the house.
No, no, no, better that she think
that her Prince Charming is a worse cheater than her father.
Please, Francisco, for once in your life, do as I say.
Your sister's a dreamer and a romantic,
the worst combination.
What if she really does like that guy?
All the more reason to protect her.
And that's going to require a more powerful blow.
Mom?
Promise me you won't say anything.
In here!
Where's Cesar?
No idea.
He quit and grabbed his things.
Did Cesar say anything?
Only that we might never see each other again.
Then he grabbed his stuff and left.
Ines, please.
How could you not tell Camila that Cesar is Mariana's husband?
She really likes him.
Look, I didn't tell her,
and I'm getting tired of telling you not to say anything either.
Stop it.
Cesar's lying to her and she has to know.
Besides...
Maybe it was Cesar who shot Estela Montoya.
That's why my mother's plan is a good one.
Cesar's going to disappear for good,
and the less you and I know, the better.
Got it?
Yes or no? Yeah?
My mom's handling it.
If Cesar is the serial killer that you believe him to be,
then we should stay out of it.
Sound good?
Thanks.
Mom, don't bother to deny it.
I know you had something to do with Cesar leaving.
Yes, it was you, Mom.
He wouldn't just stop taking my calls.
Stop talking nonsense.
I'm not to blame for everything that happens in this house.
For God's sake, what do you want from me?
He came in and quit.
All I did was accept his resignation.
I wasn't about to beg to keep him.
You've made his life impossible since the day he got here.
You didn't want him around me.
Oh, please.
If you're going to hit me with a speech
on equity and equality,
let me pour myself a drink first.
It's the only way I can tolerate it.
Mom, did you offer him money like you did to Adriana
so that he'd stay away from me?
Why would I do that?
There's nothing going on between you two.
You aren't even friends, unless I'm mistaken.
Answer me.
Yes or no?
All I did was pay him through the month
for work he didn't complete by the way,
and all so I didn't have to listen to your mewling.
I don't believe you.
Honey, all that kid did was waste your time.
He left as quickly as he arrived,
never providing explanations.
Accept it.
You're lying.
Ms. Marquez.
Noelia's disappeared. She's gone.
What?
What happened?
I don't know, but she's gone.
You have to help me find her.
Please help me find my granddaughter.
Cesar, please pick up the phone.
You stood me up for lunch.
What happened? We need to talk.
Camila, are you going to eat?
They're waiting for you downstairs.
Your brother told me that Cesar left and isn't coming back.
The weird thing is he didn't even say goodbye.
What if something happened to his daughter?
To his daughter?
He's got a daughter too?
I can't think of another reason he'd leave like that.
It was either that or my mother humiliated him.
Or maybe he got what he came for, girl.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not telling you in a bad way.
You know men like that exist.
When they get what they want, they leave.
Noelia!
Did Noelia turn up?
No.
Do you know anything? Has she texted you?
No, I hurried here when I got your message.
I don't know anything.
I thought maybe she'd contacted you.
Not at all.
My daughter's nowhere to be found
because of an email her mother sent.
What?
I'm pleased that Francisco Javier
has been so responsible this week,
but to stand me up on a Saturday...
I told you it was my fault.
I asked him to go eat with a client.
Why don't we talk about your wedding dress?
It's something that Francisco can't yet know.
Ms. Renata, I'm sorry to interrupt.
You already have. What do you want?
There's a girl here asking for her father.
A girl?
Hi.
I'm looking for my daddy. I know he works here.
