In the name of love- Paloma & Inaki

PALOMA after getting over the infatuation with Emiliano( she uses to watch him and Romina through the window of her house) fell in love with Inaki. She was encouraged to date the young Iparraguirre by her Aunt Macarena and their housekeeper Rufina. With the kind of loneliness and loveless life her Aunts lived, she vows to marry and even ran away from home with Inaki. Both (Paloma and Inaki) pledged undying love to one another in the Church. Their elopement was ended with the accident they had and were rushed to the hospital. Carlota made a fuss over it and threatened court case but since they had not slept together, the case could not stand. Carlota started paying Acadia, the maid in Inaki's home for information about his movement with that of Paloma. When Carlota realised that she cant stop them she pretended to accept their marriage and invited Inaki to their home for pre-wedding celebration. Inaki's father, Alonzo did not support the marriage so he did come. Meanwhile Carlota went to buy the herbal tea that kills if used excessively and Acadia saw her. But before now, Inaki had Carlota investigated and got to know that she was lying about Paloma's inheritance. Unfortunately he did not tell others close to him his findings but Carlota overheard him talking on the phone about it. That further made her to resolve to kill him before he exposes her. Thatnight of the dinner party, Carlota made sure that she served Inaki personally and made him to drink the poison she made and by morning he was dead. Paloma woke up and got dressed for her wedding to the love of her life. Macarena gave her the special necklace Christobal gave her as a present. But alas, Inaki did not make it. He died from the poisonous brew of Carlota. Paloma was devastated. When Acadia heard of Inaki's death, she knew immediately that Carlota killed him. She knew she did not like him. In her greed, she decided to blackmail Carlota and she was also killed by her the night she went to collect the money. Inaki was confirmed dead of heart attack and Carlota convinced Carmen, the mother to have him buried without autopsy. Alonzo became inconsolable and blamed Paloma for his son's death. Paloma in her devastation and bewilderment, vow never to love again but Emiliano will not let her be since he's broken off with Romina.

On Paloma's side, is Aaron, Ines' Nephew. He was infatuated with Paloma and with her Fiance's death, started visiting to console and be close to her. Paloma appreciative of his friendship, allowed him to be close to her. Carlota seems okay with the relationship and encouraged it but Paloma was not interested in Aaron as a lover but just a friend. When Emiliano saw competition and despite Carlota hatred, lay claim to Paloma and they started going out secretly. But the manipulative and spoilt Romina who always get what she wants was not ready to let Emiliano go. She teamed up with Aaron to ensure that Paloma and Emiliano are not together. With the death of Inaki, Carlota stole the wedding ring and headed to Mexico City to reproduce a fake one. All of her intention is always to ensure that Macarena and Paloma stay under her domination financially and morally. At Mexico, she stayed in the same Hotel with Alonzo. Alonzo was back to work but decided to console himself with his Secretary. They went on a romantic tour outside the office and lodged in the same hotel with Alonzo. Alonzo sighted Carlota and harassed and accused her for killing his son. As usual, Carlota accused him of abandonment and not being there for his son during the last days of his life. Alonzo pestered her until she had to report him to the hotel management. in one of those encounters, the hotel manager witnessed it and had to make it up to Carlota by giving out Alonzo's home address. Carlota called Natalia and gave her details of where her husband was with another woman. Natalia came to the hotel and caught her husband cheating on her with another woman. Carlota was happy because that would distract Alonzo and stop him from harassing her. She had the ring copied and went back home. Alonzo came back home and asked for space to sort out his feelings. When he left, Natalia decided to come back to Real de Monte.
