Regina moves to one of her properties, "Los Cascabeles" ("The Rattlesnakes"), a ranch far away from the capital. She becomes a resentful and indomitable woman, "La Dueña" ("Lady Owner"), as her employees call her. Furthermore, her reputation earns her the nickname "Víbora" ("Viper") among the locals. There she meets José María (

), owner of the neighboring hacienda "Los Encinos" ("The Oaks"). Both fall for each other, but Regina does not reveal her feelings for him for fear of getting hurt again in a relationship. Around this time, Berenice, Laura, and Martina also move to "Los Cascabeles". Macario (Salvador Sánchez), the foreman of the ranch, is in love with Regina and he and Laura scheme to keep Regina and José María apart. Laura has fallen in love with José María; because of it, Regina will become once again a target for her cousin, even though this time "La Dueña" will not let anyone steal her beloved's heart from her.
