Together they have three children, Eric the eldest who is wicked and tries hard to follow in his father's footsteps. Regina the second oldest who is very kind, beautiful and hardworking and the last born being Daniella who is ambitious like her mother with a wicked heart and jealous of Regina's undeniable beauty. Arturo also has an older son Miguel from a woman who died before he married Nina. Miguel is secretly in love with Consuelo Eric's wife who alsolso has to endure Eric's wickedness unaware that he is having an affair with a model called Montserrat. Regina is engaged and ready to be married by his fiancé Joshua who ultimately crashes his bike with David Gomez Luna (Eladio's son) hence causing an accident that will tie their lives forever. The accident causes the two rival families to meet once more in the hospital. David is badly injured while Joshua is discharged immediately only to be seduced by Daniella hence ending up kissing to Regina's dismay who finds them in the act and ends up breaking her engagement.Tired of his father's wickedness and comparing him to Franco Eladio's godson who unlike David is entirely loyal to Eladio he decides to leave for a vacation. There, David meets Daniella Montenegro and they start a romance but Daniella ends the relationship realizing David was not rich enough. David is therefore brokenhearted and realizes that all Montenegro's are evil. After getting a job offer as an engineer he accepts only to find out he is partnered with Regina Montenegro.

Over time they grow closer David realising that Regina is hardworking and kindhearted hence their relationship grows into an undeniable love. They are followed by the dilemma of confessing their love to their families hoping that it would be a chance for peace between them.
