Instead breaking off the affair with Raquel, he purchases for Elena as an anniversary gift a statue - the titular Kneeling Goddess - that unbeknownst to him at that moment used Raquel as the model. Obsessed with Raquel he reinitiates the affair and appears to agree with Raquel to divorce Elena. When Elena dies in mysterious circumstances and Antonio marries Raquel, not everything is as it appears.
