Hoping to get medical care for her sister, Gianna, who suffers from a heart condition, Fiorella Bianchi, a recently orphaned Italian woman, moves to Mexico and accepts a marriage proposal from her late father's deceptive, but wealthy friend. After her fiance abandons the sisters, Fiorella works as a maid for the prominent Ángeles family, where she falls in love with Pedro Ángeles, a man whose family legacy is based on mysterious circumstances.[1][6][7]
