*Andrea screams, what are you going to do? Andrea tries the door, but are locked. Andrea goes, please sir. Help me, and the guy. Closes the window between them. She's taken to Emma's home, Emma laughs wickedly. Andrea goes, why did you bring me here. Emma goes, I brought you here. To give you, your wedding present. She has a gun pointing at her, and then the guy goes.
*Where's my money? As she's distracted, Andrea kicks the gun away. Andrea makes a break for it. Emma takes her gun, and shoots. Hitting a statue, and Andrea stops. She's brought back, and her hands are tied. Her mouth is tapped, Emma hands the guy, a package telling him. He must do the last job, then he leaves.
*Emma utter, Eduardo that's life. She goes to Andrea, saying. You know what, your not really ugly. Then she goes, I can't hear a word your saying. Then roughly takes out, the tape. Andrea goes, are you going to let me go. Emma goes, sure but first...I must make a call. Why don't we play a game? Then she playfully, runs up and down the stairs. She asks, how do you want to die. By me shooting you, or by hanging.
*It would be so romantic, if Eduardo saw you hanging. Or best yet, oh wait a minute. As she playfully, returns sits down. She puts the gun in her face, then slaps her to shut up. Then picks up the drug, she used to kill Sophia. Emma goes, no. I won't do the same thing, you see that's how I killed Sophia. You see, she was very upset with me. When she found out, I was the one who had her kidnapped. Nobody takes away Eduardo, nobody. Then takes a drink of wine, and throws it at Andrea's face. Now, tell me Andrea. Would you like to be placed, to the right. Or left of Sophia.
*Andrea goes, you have a wonderful family. With a great future, just leave me alone. Making her laugh. Emma goes, you robbed me both of their loves. Andrea goes, you pushed them away. Emma grabs her hair, and takes out a knife. Cutting her arm, saying. With your angel face, you took them away from me. She licks the blood from the knife, and goes. A better revenge, is to poison that child of yours.
*Andrea moves, and goes to the floor. Emma laughs, and goes. It's better I just get rid of it, then she playful stabs her stomach. Andrea screams, and cries. It's wonderful to see someone suffer. Emma calls the goon, and says. Why haven't you called me? The guy goes, he's still in the house. When he comes out, I'll call you. Andrea begs once more, the guy calls. Saying, he's on his way. Emma goes, I knew that he loved you so much. For that, he'll pay. Andrea goes, please don't hurt him.
*Cesar goes to the cemetery, and leaves flowers by Isaura's grave. He goes, I will prove to you, that things. Can be done with honesty, and cries.
*Zulema is dressed, and waiting for the others. She see's Anselmo, and goes. Anselmo, without me your nothing. Anselmo goes, Dona Irene, made me feel useful and stronger. She made me realize, that I'm worth something. Zulema goes, that woman has changed you. Anselmo tells her, that Dona Irene gave him back his life. What you should do is see someone. You're so full of anger, and so bitter. Then he goes, to get the others. Gina asks Celia, are you really going to sing with Jon Secada. Celia goes, of course. You know what I've finally realized, that I should accept myself. Before, I thought a man. Would come to my life, and change me. I know now, there's more important things in life. Now, I know I have to like myself. In order to be happy.
*Zulema pays a boy, to get Irene. She comes out, Zulema spays her dress. Laughing as she does it, saying. You'll never get my husband, I'll never let him go. Your also, not going to interfere with my family. That's when, the whole community arrives coming to her aid. Gina goes, you had no right doing this. She's been very nice to us. Zulema continues, saying. A woman like that, deserve worse for stealing other woman's husband's. Anselmo goes, a husband you should respect. You never did that, that's why I'm not with you. Dona Irene will be my partner, from now on. Dona Irene, goes. I'm going to give Don Anselmo, everything you didn't give him. Anselmo kisses her, and the community claps. Zulema yells out, disgusting. Anselmo goes, I never want to see you again. He then takes Dona Irene, back to her home to change.

Mauricio goes, it's better to win than lose. Eduardo says, to start with. Andrea, isn't a prize. Mauricio goes, that's right. She isn't, with her. I turned me into a real person.

Then laughs, as he goes. Mauricio later, calls Gina. Saying, he wanted to talk to her. About the wedding, before she comes. Gina goes, isn't she taking the wedding photos now. Didn't you send a limo? Mauricio goes, no. All I sent, was the two truck. Gina goes, but I talked to your secretary. Mauricio goes, I have no secretary. Anselmo goes, that's very strange. Who picked up Andrea? Gina goes, Mauricio will go to the church. Just in case, she showed up there. Then everyone, gets into the two truck Mauricio sent.
*When Zulema appears, everyone leaves one truck. Then head to another, as Zulema insults them. Everyone by now, is outside the chapel. Waiting for Andrea, all wonder where she went. Mauricio goes, mom Andrea isn't here. Amparo goes, it's very strange. Maybe, Eduardo sent for the limo. I have to call him, and prepares to do it. Gina stops him, and goes. I called him, he doesn't know where she is. I hope nothing happens, to my sister.

The priest tells Maurcio, we can't continue waiting. Mauricio goes, just a little bit longer. She has to come, Anselmo goes. If anything happens to my daughter, I'll die.
*Eduardo then sees' Nuria. She goes, it's dangerous what your doing. You sure you want to go through with do this? Eduardo goes, yes. I would like you, to take Gemina to Ignatio's house.

There Gemina tells the others, that she wanted Andrea to marry her father.
*Nuria goes, so did we. Sometimes things don't work out, like we want them to. Asuncion goes, whose Andrea. Making Gemina laugh, she says. Oh grandma, you're always forgetting things. Ignatio goes, that's why I'm here to help her. Asuncion goes, my memory is fine. Sergio once again, apologizes to Nuria. He tells her, I have made several errors in my life. Nuria tells him, time continues. It doesn't go back, sometimes we fool. Ourselves, into thinking. We can manipulate things, to our likening. Our lives, are already played out, it's our destiny. Sergio goes, I understand. I can't give you nothing, there's always. Something to change, I would love to change my life. Will you please help me? Nuria goes, Sergio I'll help you in any way I can.
*Later Lewis arrives, all cocky. He goes, so do you have my money. Eduardo shows him the briefcase, full of dollars. It's yours, if you tell me the truth. As their talking, the goon. Places a bomb, in Eduardo's car. Lewis begins his tale, saying. Emma and I. Were lovers for a long time, we even planned to leave town. It was that day, of her accident in fact. We were going to built a gym, with your money. Eduardo goes, your just not doing this for money. Lewis goes, Emma has completely gone insane. She thinks, I will return to the house. So we can split the money, I don't' want to get involved. In any more of her crimes? Eduardo goes, what crimes? Lewis continues, she's the one. Who cut Andrea's breaks. She's the one, got her put in jail. That's enough for now, protect Andrea. Emma will go after her, Eduardo goes.
*You're not leaving here, until you've told me everything. Fine, Lewis goes. Emma killed Sophia, and has her buried in the backyard. That's when, cops come from behind. They grab him, and prepare to take him away. Lewis goes, you lied to me. You betrayed me! Eduardo goes, you did the same crimes with Emma. The cops go, we need you to come with us. Eduardo agrees, then get a call from Gina. Asking him, if he's seen Andrea. He goes, isn't she there with you? Gina goes, something strange happened. A limo came to pick her up, and Mauricio didn't send for. She's missing, he hangs up. Eduardo grabs Lewis, and goes. Where's Andrea? Lewis laughs, and goes. Emma has her, in her home. You betrayed me, and gets taken away. Eduardo gets into his car, and begins to drive away.
*He hears Emma's voice, she says. No man ever leaves me, you never understood that. I gave you my body, hours of pleasures. Many things, you didn't value. Now, your going to have to pay for her. If your not with me, you'll end up with nobody. I don't lie, I tell it like it is. Your time is up, and smoke comes from the chairs. See you in heaven, and laughs. Eduardo takes action, stops the car. Jumps out, runs away. Then BOOM, the car explodes. Andrea screams, while Emma laughs. The cops were in back of him, and call an ambulance. He ended up with a sprained ankle, and the cop goes. We must take you to the hospital, and he goes. NO! We have to go back to the house, Emma has Andrea.
*Emma drags Andrea, up the stairs. So she can hang her, and she goes. Your paying for taking away Eduardo, she points the gun over her face. Before you go, I will tell you something. Mauricio knew all along, about my plans. Andrea goes, he's not a bad man. Emma goes, once you find out. What he did, you don't want to marry him. He's bad as me, Emma laughs. Andrea goes, I don't believe a single word you say. Emma goes, go to the church and talk to him. He's been playing you for a fool. He loved you so much, that he betrayed you. He sent you to jail, she begins to cradles her. Once atop the stairs, she puts her head in the noose. Andrea crying tells her, you won't get forgiveness from god.
*As she's about to pick her up, the cops arrive. Emma goes, how did they find me out. Andrea tells her, just give yourself up. You won't leave here alive. The cops follow Eduardo, as he tries to open the door. Another site of cops, go towards the garden. To find Sophia's body. The cops scream, your under arrest. The house is surrounded, give yourself up. Emma tells Andrea, I won't go to jail. Then takes off the noose, and throws her on the floor.
*Andrea goes, if you kill herself. Your a coward. Emma goes, I lost Eduardo. I have nothing more to lose. She places the noose, around her own head. She goes on the railing, saying I'm taking you with me. Pointing the gun, at her face. While Eduardo, drops the keys on the floor. Emma shoots, saying. I'm killing you and that bastard kid. Andrea moves, and the gun goes to the ground. As the door opens, she jumps. The cops go towards her, finding her still alive. Eduardo screams, Andrea's name over and over. Andrea cries out his name, and he slowly makes it up the stairs. He hold her, and she cries. Your alive, and takes her out of the house.
*Outside, Andrea goes. I have to go to the church, people are expecting me. Eduardo once again, tells her not to marry Mauricio. I love you, and tries to hold her. Andrea goes, I have to go there. Then both get into the cop car, and head to the church. Everyone see the cop car, and approach. Mauricio see's Eduardo taking her out of car. He goes, I knew he had her. What the hell are you doing with my woman? Andrea angrily responses. If it wasn't for Eduardo, I would be dead. Mauricio goes, what happened? Andrea continues, I have questions for you to answer.
*Is is true, you knew all along. Of Emma's plans towards me? Did you help her, put me in jail? You knew everything, didn't you. Mauricio screams at Eduardo, coward. Don't you know, he's lying to you. He's trying to manipulate you, Andrea goes. It wasn't Eduardo, but Emma who told me. Stop lying, and tell me the truth. I want to hear it, from your own lips. At this time, everyone stops and stares. Awaiting his response, but he doesn't speak. Andrea continues, I'm still waiting. For your response. Mauricio goes, we should talk in private. Andrea follows him, to a corner. Gina ask Eduardo, what happened? Look, at how she's dressed. Eduardo goes, Emma tried to kill her. Then Gina goes into his arms, and he holds her.
*Mauricio goes, for love I was willing to do everything. In my power, to have you. Andrea, shakes her head. She goes, in honor of love. One shouldn't do what you did. With your attitude, I know that Emma was telling me the truth. Mauricio shutters, and goes. Please forgive me, I made a big mistake. All I wanted was you near me. Andrea goes, I want nothing to do with you. Mauricio cries, and says. Please, don't say that. You gave me your word, you can't change your mind.
*Andrea tells him, I will never marry you. Mauricio grabs her, and goes. Your mine, and she pushes him away. Andrea yells out, leave me alone. I'm now a free woman, the person who decides my fate is me. It pains me, to see. That your not the right man for me. One day, you'll realize that love isn't a possession. It's without limits, that love. It should be given, from the heart. Mauricio is trembling, and shaking. He tries to hold her, and gets on his knees. Still trying to hold on to her. Begging her, not to leave. He cries, and you really feel his pain. Andrea leaves, and he just cries. Amparo goes to him, cradles him like a child. As he continues to cry, calling out her name. Everyone, just looks at him with pity. Amparo kisses him, and tries to calm him down. Mauricio goes, tell her not to go. Amparo goes, its best we leave.
