🌾 Bartolo and Rosita head to the plantation to inspect the crops, only to be horrified by the devastating sight before them—the entire bean harvest has withered and died. Bartolo immediately rushes off to inform Luis. Back at the estate, Rosinha tearfully breaks the news to him, and within moments, Luis, Prudencio, Bartolo, and the rest of the workers gather at the plantation, stunned by the destruction. After hearing about the disaster, Doménica rushes to Genaro and orders him to saddle the horses so they can inspect the plantation themselves. Elsewhere, Kiara and Mercedes discuss the incident, wondering who could be responsible. Mercedes explains that while certain chemicals kill weeds without harming crops, this damage looks far more suspicious. Kiara subtly suggests that Doménica may have taken advantage of Luis lowering his guard and sabotaged his harvest herself.
🌾 At City Hall, Blanca is busy working when Cosme confronts her once again, mocking her for relying on a lawyer instead of defending herself. Blanca stands her ground, warning him that she could have reported him for harassment. Unbeknownst to Cosme, Fuensanta overhears the entire exchange. Furious, she drags her husband into his office to confront him. Moments later, Ernesto stops by with a snack for Blanca and checks to make sure Cosme is no longer bothering her. Reassured, Blanca returns to work after their friendly conversation. Back at the plantation, an agricultural expert examines the damaged crops and confirms that the official herbicide could not have caused such rapid destruction. Instead, she concludes that a different chemical was used, confirming deliberate sabotage. Just then, Doménica and Genaro arrive. Before Doménica can even speak, Mercedes accuses her of destroying Luis's harvest to seize the land for herself.
🌾 Doménica fiercely denies the accusation and turns to Luis, hoping he believes her. Torn between love and evidence, Luis remains silent before wondering if Genaro could be responsible instead, remembering the threats he made in the past. Feeling completely betrayed, Doménica storms away with Genaro while Kiara quietly follows. Meanwhile, Fuensanta discovers the official deed to Doménica's estate hidden among Cosme's files. Curious, she questions Blanca about the long-running dispute between Doménica's estate and Luis's over ownership of the northern part of the lagoon. Later, Mercedes tells Kiara that investigators found a bottle of the same chemical on Doménica's land, convincing her that Doménica is guilty. Secretly delighted, Kiara keeps her excitement hidden. Elsewhere, Luis and San arrive at City Hall, where Cosme informs them of the discovery. While Luis admits he still trusts Doménica, he cannot ignore the possibility that Genaro may be trying to frame her. San insists that facts—not emotions—must guide the investigation.
🌾 Armed with a search warrant, San and the authorities arrive at La Abandonada. Though furious, Doménica allows them to search the property. Before long, officers uncover a hidden sack beneath a pile of dried leaves containing several empty bottles of the same chemical used to destroy Luis's crops. At that very moment, Kiara and Genaro are secretly together in his quarters. When Doménica returns and learns what has been found, she is left speechless. Cosme asks Luis whether he wants to press charges. Before he can answer, Genaro arrives and immediately accuses Luis of trying to frame Doménica. Heartbroken that Luis failed to defend her, Doménica bitterly tells him to let the authorities do whatever they want before riding away on horseback. Back home, Doménica tells Andre, Pilar, and Nicole everything that happened. Nicole immediately points out that someone could easily have planted the evidence on her land. When Kiara suggests speaking to Mercedes, Doménica sharply refuses, prompting Pilar to remind her not to take out her frustration on Kiara, who only wanted to help.
🌾 At Luis's house, another heated argument erupts between Luis and Mercedes. She remains convinced Doménica is guilty, while Luis angrily tells her to stop trying to fill his mind with hatred against the woman he loves. Later, Luis confides in San about the financial disaster he now faces, worrying about paying his workers, suppliers, and outstanding debts after losing the entire harvest. Elsewhere, Pedro quietly reflects on everything that has happened until Rosinha brings him a banana, hoping to cheer him up after hearing about the ruined plantation. Later, Nicole visits Luis's home, where she and Mercedes become embroiled in a fierce argument. Mercedes insults Nicole's role in raising Doménica, while Nicole reminds her that she once abandoned Pedro as a child. The confrontation soon turns personal as the two women exchange painful accusations over Prudencio and the choices they've made throughout their lives.
🌾 Before long, the authorities arrive at La Abandonada to arrest Doménica. Despite her family's desperate pleas, she is taken into custody and locked inside a jail cell. Luis immediately visits her, apologising and insisting that he had nothing to do with the arrest, explaining that it was entirely his mother's decision. Though deeply hurt, Doménica listens as he promises to do everything in his power to secure her freedom. Blanca later questions San about Doménica's arrest, but he insists he can only follow the evidence until the investigation is complete. One by one, Nicole, Andre, Pilar, and even Genaro visit Doménica in jail to offer their support. Genaro even volunteers to confess to the crime himself, but Doménica refuses to let him sacrifice himself. After learning of Doménica's arrest, Pedro confronts Luis, demanding to know why he allowed it to happen when he knows she could never commit such a crime. Luis explains everything, and together they begin discussing how they can prove her innocence.
🌾 Luis confronts Mercedes once again, begging her to withdraw the complaint, but she stubbornly refuses, insisting Doménica has deceived him long enough. Meanwhile, Genaro secretly meets with Cosme, hinting that soon Cosme will have no choice but to release Doménica and arrest him instead—part of a dangerous plan designed to make himself look like a hero while ruining Luis. Later, Kiara leaves Gabriel's shop after meeting Genaro, but as she walks through town, an unknown man suddenly grabs her from behind and covers her mouth, preventing her from screaming. At the same time, Luis speaks privately with Doménica outside her jail cell, telling her that despite confronting Mercedes, she refused to withdraw the charges. Their conversation is interrupted when Andre arrives with devastating news: Gilberto has won the court case against Doménica, meaning she must pay him immediately. Worse still, all of her bank accounts have been frozen, leaving her without access to a single penny. Doménica is left completely shocked.
🌾 After Andre informs Doménica that Gilberto has won the case against her, that she now owes him a huge sum of money, and that all of her business accounts have been frozen, Doménica is left completely devastated. She slowly sinks into a chair, trying to process the shocking news, and asks him how something like this could have happened. Andre carefully explains everything while Luis stands quietly nearby, listening in silence. He warns her that, knowing Gilberto's lawyers, they will most likely drag out the legal process, leaving them with little choice but to pay the compensation. However, he reassures her that although her business accounts have been frozen, her personal account remains untouched, as it covers her house, the estate, and the farm, which are separate from the factory and her companies.
🌾 Still overwhelmed, Doménica immediately begins worrying about how she will continue paying her workers, supporting the orphanage, and funding the many projects she has dedicated herself to over the years. Hearing her mention the orphanage, Luis is surprised and asks what she is talking about. Andre explains that Doménica founded the orphanage several years earlier, but after the smear campaign against her, its main sponsor, Max Langer, withdrew his financial support, forcing Doménica to shoulder the entire responsibility on her own. The three of them then begin discussing possible solutions to her growing financial crisis. Meanwhile, the mysterious man who grabbed Kiara from behind turns out to be none other than Max Langer.

The confrontation soon turns deeply personal as the two women argue over Prudencio and the choices they've made throughout their lives.

Their conversation is interrupted when Andre arrives with devastating news: Gilberto has won the court case against Doménica, meaning she must pay him immediately. Even worse, all of her business accounts have been frozen, leaving her without access to any of her money.
🌾 Completely devastated, Doménica slowly sinks into a chair as Andre explains the situation in detail while Luis listens quietly. Andre warns that Gilberto's lawyers will likely drag out the legal process, leaving them with little choice but to pay the compensation. He reassures her that although her business accounts have been frozen, her personal account remains untouched, as it covers her home, estate, and farm, which are separate from her companies.

Together, the three begin discussing possible solutions to her growing financial crisis.
🌾 Meanwhile, the mysterious man who grabbed Kiara from behind is revealed to be none other than Max Langer. Furious, Kiara slaps his hand away and demands to know why he has returned. Max claims he came to repay the money he owes her, but Kiara sees through the lie and tells him she knows he only came back because of Doménica. After a lengthy conversation, Max proposes a deal. Claiming to be wealthy again, he offers Kiara double the amount she previously gave him if she helps him make Doménica fall in love with him again. In return, Kiara will receive a generous share of the money. Still unconvinced, Kiara demands proof, so Max shows her his bank balance and immediately transfers her share. Before leaving, Kiara warns him that Doménica is already in love with someone else. Max is stunned, refusing to believe she could ever forget the man she once loved.
🌾 Later, Genaro rushes to tell Doménica that Cosme wants to see her. When she and Andre arrive at his office, Cosme informs them that she must pay compensation for the destruction of Luis's plantation. As Doménica reads the amount, she exchanges worried glances with Andre, who admits they simply do not have enough money to pay such a huge sum. Standing behind them, Genaro blurts out in disbelief that he never imagined Doménica was actually broke. Both Doménica and Andre turn to stare at him before focusing on Cosme once again.
🌾 Afterwards, Luis meets with Doménica and sincerely apologises, saying he never expected her to be forced to pay compensation and suspects his mother is behind it all. He even offers to sell part of his own estate or cover his share of the losses to ease her burden. However, Doménica gently refuses, explaining that after seeing the devastation of his plantation, she had already decided she would never collect rent from him. Meanwhile, Andre warns Genaro not to interfere with the investigation. Rather than taking matters into his own hands, he advises him to leave everything to the lawyers so the truth can be uncovered through the proper legal process.
Episode 26
🔸️ After hearing the bad news about her finance, a completely devastated Doménica slowly sinks into a chair as Andre explains the situation in greater detail while Luis listens in silence. Andre warns that Gilberto's lawyers will most likely drag out the legal process, leaving them with little choice but to pay the compensation. He reassures her that although all of her business accounts have been frozen, her personal account remains untouched since it covers her home, estate, and farm, which are separate from her companies.

🔸️ Later, Genaro rushes to tell Doménica that Cosme wants to see her. When she and Andre arrive at his office, Cosme informs them that she must pay compensation for the destruction of Luis's plantation. As Doménica reads the amount, she exchanges worried glances with Andre, who admits they simply do not have enough money to cover such an enormous payment. Standing behind them, Genaro blurts out in disbelief that he never imagined Doménica was actually broke. Doménica and Andre both turn to stare at him before shifting their attention back to Cosme.
🔸️ Afterwards, Luis meets with Doménica and sincerely apologises, admitting that he never expected her to be forced to pay compensation and suspects that his mother is behind it all. He even offers to sell part of his own estate or pay his share of the losses to help ease her financial burden. However, Doménica gently refuses, explaining that after witnessing the destruction of his plantation, she had already decided she would never collect rent from him. Meanwhile, Andre warns Genaro not to interfere with the investigation. Instead of taking matters into his own hands, he urges him to leave everything to the lawyers so the truth can be uncovered through the proper legal process.
🔸️ As Kiara is about to leave, she receives a call from Genaro. He tells her that their attempt to avoid paying the compensation has failed and that he has only just discovered Doménica is practically broke. Shocked by the revelation, Kiara wonders aloud what could have happened. Elsewhere, Adelaide is preparing a meal in the kitchen when Pedro walks in. After greeting him, she asks whether he has spoken with Luis. The question immediately angers Pedro, who snaps that Luis is not his brother because he no longer considers anyone his family. Adelaide quietly tells him that he doesn't need to shout at her. Feeling guilty, Pedro apologises and admits that he did speak with Luis earlier. Adelaide then asks whether he and Nieves were truly in a relationship. Pedro confirms that they were, although he is still trying to make sense of everything that happened between them. Adelaide gently points out that he never really gave Nieves a fair chance.
🔸️ Just then, Mercedes enters the kitchen and asks to speak with Pedro privately. As she approaches him, Pedro immediately stops her, warning her not to come any closer. Adelaide quietly excuses herself, leaving the two alone. Wasting no time, Pedro demands that Mercedes withdraw the charges against Doménica. Mercedes refuses, insisting that Doménica destroyed everything and deserves to remain under arrest. Pedro argues that Doménica is completely innocent and would never sabotage the plantation. Mercedes accuses Pedro of defending Doménica only because she once compensated him financially. Pedro firmly denies this, insisting that his defence has nothing to do with money. Despite everything he says, Mercedes refuses to change her mind, and Pedro eventually walks away.
🔸️ Meanwhile, Silvia visits Sebastian in his office and offers him a sum of money. After counting it, Sebastian refuses, saying it is far too little for what they expect him to do. Silvia reminds him that they want his help sabotaging the diamond ring registered under Max Langer's name, which is currently in the jeweller's possession. When Silvia admits she has no more money to offer, Sebastian slowly rises, walks towards her, gently caresses her cheek, and tells her he never said money was what he wanted. Realising exactly what he means, Silvia climbs onto the desk and begins flirting with him. The two embrace, kiss, and begin undressing each other.
🔸️ Later, Pilar visits Doménica, and the two spend some time talking. Doménica thanks Pilar for coming to see her. Not long afterwards, Doménica is finally released from custody. As she arrives home, Pedro spots her and immediately rushes over. Overjoyed, he hugs her and says he is relieved she has been released because he believed Mercedes had finally listened to him. Doménica hugs him back before explaining that Mercedes was not the one responsible for securing her release.
Meanwhile, Cosme and Genaro speak over the phone about the unpaid compensation while discussing yet another scheme. During their conversation, Cosme reveals that the person who paid Doménica's bail was none other than Max Langer—the very man who abandoned her at the altar years ago.
Episode 28
🔸️ Luis finally asks Doménica the one question that has been tormenting him: what does Max truly mean to her? After a long, painful silence, Doménica quietly admits that Max once meant everything to her. Heartbroken by her answer, Luis immediately turns to leave. Doménica quickly stops him and tries to explain that Max meant everything to her in the past, but he no longer does. She confesses that the man she truly loves now is Luis. However, Luis refuses to believe her. He tells her that her first answer has already revealed where her heart truly belongs, and he cannot continue loving someone when he is uncertain about her feelings. Desperate to make him understand, Doménica compares his question about Max to her asking whether he has stopped loving his late wife, Paula. Luis immediately points out that there is a major difference: Paula is dead, while Max is alive and has now returned to her life. Deeply hurt, Luis tells Doménica not to look for him again until she is completely certain about what she feels. With that, he walks away, leaving her devastated.
🔸️ Afterwards, Doménica speaks with Andre and tearfully tells him everything that happened. She admits that all she wanted was to run into Luis's arms and show him that he was the man she truly loved. Andre confesses that Luis's reaction surprises him because Luis has always been calm and reasonable. Nevertheless, he advises Doménica to give him some space and allow him time to process everything. Andre believes that once Luis clears his head, he will eventually come back to her.
Just then, Kiara enters and asks what happened. After Andre leaves, Doménica explains everything to her cousin. Kiara claims she cannot entirely blame Luis for reacting the way he did, especially after seeing Doménica with the same man who abandoned her at the altar. Doménica admits that she understands Luis's reaction but firmly insists that she no longer has feelings for Max. The only man she loves is Luis. Kiara advises her to settle everything with Max once and for all so there will be no more misunderstandings if Luis returns. She even suggests that Luis might eventually behave exactly like Max because he accepted the compensation money. Doménica immediately rejects the comparison, insisting that Luis is nothing like Max.
🔸️ Later, Adelaide visits the community centre and asks Pilar if there is any chance she could work there as an embroidery teacher. Unfortunately, Pilar explains that the centre is currently struggling financially and cannot afford to hire any new staff. Adelaide understands and politely prepares to leave, but Pilar suddenly stops her after remembering that there is another position she could fill and asks her to come inside. As they walk, Pilar mentions that she had assumed Adelaide and Nieves were friends. Adelaide quickly clarifies that they are merely acquaintances and adds that she certainly did not come there because of Pedro. Once inside, Pilar introduces Adelaide to Nieves and asks Nieves to show her around, teach her the necessary tasks, and give her a tour of the centre. While Pilar is still there, the two young women exchange polite smiles. However, the moment Pilar walks away, Nieves's attitude completely changes.
🔸️ Nieves accuses Adelaide of joining the community centre simply because she wants to get closer to Pedro and warns her to stay away from him. Adelaide calmly replies that she has no interest in either Pedro or Nieves. She explains that with all the uncertainty surrounding the estate, she simply wants another source of income. Their conversation quickly becomes hostile as the two exchange sharp words. Before walking away, Nieves deliberately flips her hair into Adelaide's face. Adelaide glares at her before reluctantly following behind. Meanwhile, Osvaldo secretly follows Max across an open field. Unknown to either of them, Pedro is standing on a nearby cliff, watching everything with curiosity. Back at home, Luis returns to find Mercedes waiting for him. Happy to see her son, Mercedes asks him to help transfer the compensation money. Luis immediately refuses, saying he wants absolutely nothing to do with the money—or with Max.
His refusal leads to yet another heated argument between mother and son over Doménica, the estate, and Max's sudden return. Mercedes argues that even after the man who abandoned Doménica has returned, Luis still refuses to open his eyes to the truth. Luis firmly tells his mother that nothing will ever change how he feels about Doménica before walking away.
🔸️ Later, Pedro stops by Gabriel's shop, where he finds Maria and Blanca chatting. He asks Maria if she knows where Osvaldo is. Maria explains that Osvaldo often disappears without telling anyone where he is going and guesses that he is probably at the lake with his friends. Pedro thanks both women and leaves.
Meanwhile, Kiara secretly visits Max at his trailer. Sneaking up behind him, she playfully covers his eyes, but Max immediately removes her hands and admits that he isn't in the mood. When Kiara asks what is bothering him, Max complains that he has been forced to stay in a run-down trailer because there isn't a decent hotel anywhere in town. As he sits down with a drink, Kiara assures him that he will not have to stay there for long because soon enough, he will be leaving with Doménica. When Max questions how she can be so confident, Kiara explains that although Doménica appears strong on the outside, she still has a soft side. Kiara then begins flirting with Max, suggesting that the two of them should have some fun while they wait for everything to fall into place. Before Max can respond, Kiara kisses him.
🔸️ At the lake, Osvaldo walks alongside two of his friends while boasting about how important it is to know how to use a gun for protection. As he continues bragging, Pedro approaches from behind and calls out his name. Pedro immediately demands to know why Osvaldo has been following Nieves around. Osvaldo responds sarcastically and makes no attempt to deny it. Pedro warns him to stay away from Nieves, but the confrontation quickly escalates until Osvaldo challenges him to settle the matter with a fight. Just as the two are about to exchange blows, Luis rushes over and separates them. He orders Osvaldo and his friends to leave immediately. Once they are gone, Pedro questions why Luis interfered. Luis calmly explains that fighting simply isn't worth it. The brothers finally have an honest conversation about everything that has happened between them, settle their differences, and seal their reconciliation with a handshake.
🔸️ Meanwhile, as Kiara leaves Max's trailer, Genaro, who has been secretly hiding in the bushes with a rifle, spots her coming out. Realising that Kiara has been secretly working with Max behind his back, Genaro mutters to himself that she is even more dangerous than he ever imagined. A short while later, Max walks alone across an open field, unaware that Genaro is watching him from a distance. Genaro fires a shot at him but misses. The sound of the gunshot immediately alerts Pedro and Luis Fernando, who are only a short distance away. Startled, Max frantically looks around, trying to figure out where the shot came from. But Genaro isn't backing down. He takes aim once again and fires a second shot, and this time, he doesn't miss. Hearing the gunfire, Luis and Pedro rush towards the scene to assist Max. However, as they get closer, Luis is stunned when he recognises the man who has been shot. Turning to Pedro, he reveals that the injured man lying before them is Max Langer.
