He is, however, determined to be with Libia and decides to seek permission from her three brothers, Franco, Óscar, and Juan Reyes.

The Reyes brothers are against their sister Libia's relationship with Elizondo but have no choice but to accept it since their sister's happiness depends on it. The unexpected happens when Bernado is involved in a horse accident and loses his life. Libia then finds out that she is expecting Bernado's child but learns of his demise.

Libia decides to go to the Elizondo family and claim money for the upkeep of her unborn baby. Doña belittles her and her family, and a heartbroken Libia takes her life by jumping off a bridge. The three Reyes brothers plot to avenge their sister's death.

Their plans work because of the estate's housekeeper, Eva Rodríguez.
