The company's owner and executive director is Victoria's father, Aníbal Balvanera just arrived from a business trip. Upon an attempt to kidnap Victoria, a rancher named José Ángel Arriaga rescues her while looking for a job. Ver complaints with moving away. José Ángel shows up and fights a man in a ski mask (secretly Salsero) and pins him down until another person in a ski mask (secretly Kendra) attacks him with a baton. Victoria stays with José Ángel at the hospital while Nelson goes to Kendra's apartment and sleeps with her. Victoria begins painting a picture of José Ángel without a shirt on. Salsero and Kendra sneak in and see it. Salsero talks Nelson into looking at Victoria's studio. Nelson sees the painting and thinks Victoria is showing infidelity to him. Kendra goes into Nelson's office and takes her clothes off and begins kissing Nelson. Victoria catches them and goes to sleep at José Ángel's apartment while Cristina and Liliana are at Moleros, Mexico doing paperwork.

Victoria wants the divorce but Nelson refuses. Nikki's ex-boyfriend Rolando "Roy" Pavia (Eleazar Gomez) returns from Europe in order to marry her (because Nikki's family is rich) although Roy is in love with Liliana after they had met at the club.

The day after, she leaves with Roy to Miami, Florida where he mistreats Nikki, feeling betrayed and leaves her alone and she gets hurt. Roy does not care about her bulimic problem after what she did to him. Meanwhile, at the Balvanera's house Arriaga is forcing Nelson to tell Victoria that he is the father of Kendra's baby.
