Plot

Andrea (

) and Veronica (

) are two different women brought together by fate. In their childhood years, they learned to love and care for each other like real sisters. The two were inseparable until unfortunate circumstances set them apart. Through time, Andrea grew up to be a patient but determined young lady who would do everything for her loved ones, while Veronica grew to be possessive with her life and will do everything she can in her power to get what she wants, including the man she truly loves. When their paths meet again after so many years, the bonds of sisterhood they used to share will be put to test as they fall in love with the same man, Rafael (

). As if things weren't complicated enough as they are, Rafael faces a dilemma of his own as his wealthy father Miguel (

) falls for Andrea and even asks her hand in marriage. The plot thickens when Andrea also falls for Miguel, her ex-boyfriend's father, and she is willing to take the risk for Miguel and fight for their love no matter what, after all, love is all about risk. This complicated situation is explored in the subsequent parts of the story.
