SYNOPSIS:
Carlota is the illegitimate daughter of Bernarda and a millionaire named Leopoldo, who left a fortune to Carlota and her half-sister, Eugenia. Bernarda tries to keep her daughters from marrying so that she can continue to live off of their inheritance. In spite of this, Carlota marries Dr. Alvaro Ibanez, while Eugenia is pregnant with the child of Leopoldo's deranged son, Roman.

Eugenia dies in childbirth, but Bernarda convinces Alvaro that it was Carlota who died. Devastated, he moves to the country to live with his father, where he meets Cordelia, identical in appearance to Carlota, but not in personality. Social-climbing Cordelia takes advantage of Alvaro's grief, and marries him for his wealth and position. Little does she know, however, that Carlota is not only very much alive, but that she wants her husband back!
