[edit] Synopsis
From penniless immigrant to millionaire heiress—Emilia Olivares undergoes this drastic transformation not by an unexpected stroke of luck or fairy-tale magic, but through an evil scheme that traps her in a web of lies and deceit. And so, what was simply a daydream for a humble young woman becomes a nightmare that changes her life forever.
As an illegal immigrant in the United States, Emilia has few options. In order to help support her family, she is forced to work as a maid. However, her situation does not prevent her from dreaming of a better life. Beautiful, sweet and noble in spirit, Emilia one day meets the man who could make her dreams come true: Felipe Reyes.
Intimidated by the fact that Felipe is very rich, and ashamed of her social standing, Emilia does not reveal her true identity, but rather becomes a mystery to the young man. After just a few dates, they fall in love—but she decides to disappear from his life.
Fate will bring them face to face again when Emilia becomes entrapped in a complex lie. Coerced by her greedy mistress, Roberta Lizalde, Emilia assumes the identity of Roberta’s stepdaughter, Andrea, who is confined to bed with a terminal illness. The reason is that Andrea’s father, Roberta’s deceased husband, made his daughter the only heir to a fortune—with the condition that if she should die before her 24th birthday, everything will go to charity. Because Andrea has very little time left to live, Roberta needs someone to take Andrea’s place and give her control of the inheritance, so she wickedly manipulates Emilia into doing it.
Now pretending to be Andrea, Emilia meets Felipe again, and the budding love they once shared rekindles into a raging fire of passion. But reality catches up with Emilia soon enough, as Felipe’s viciously jealous girlfriend, Monica, sets out to uncover her rival’s deception, opening Felipe’s eyes to Emilia’s true identity. From this moment on, Emilia faces a turbulent succession of events that lead her story to a totally unexpected ending.
