Hidden Passion full story
The Elizondo family patriarch, Bernardo Elizondo, owns a hacienda where he resides with his wife, Doña Gabriela. He has three daughters, Sara, Jimena, and Norma. Doña's father and pa*ralyzed retired military man, Don Martín Acevedo, also live at Elizondo's hacienda.
One of the three sisters, Norma, is married to Fernando Escandón, but they do not love each other and are yet to consummate their union. Their marriage was arranged by her mother so that people do not find out that she was molested. Gabriela also wanted her daughter to marry Fernando because she is in love with him and knows they will be close when he marries a traumatized Norma.
Patriarch Bernardo falls in love with a young beautiful lady called Libia Reyes, but the love birds cannot be together because his old-fashioned wife, Gabriela, does not believe in divorce. 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.
The Reyes brothers head to the Elizondo estate and pretend to be bricklayers who had been hired to construct a cabin for Fernando and Norma. Their plans work because of the estate's housekeeper, Eva Rodríguez. She is also seeking revenge on Doña for making her leave her daughter, Ruth, lacking enough resources to support herself, and for being made to remain single.
Óscar plans to get the Elizondo family money by making their sisters fall for them. Juan is initially against the idea but is instantly attracted to Norma when they meet. Juan forgets the brother's revenge mission after falling in love with Norma.
