Paloma and Emiliano

When Emiliano came back from Europe and Romina was introduced to him, he liked her because she's fun to be with me. But the spoilt and manipulative teenager was not about to let him walk away especially when she notices that Paloma was interested in him too. Emiliano too loves Paloma but he keeps it to himself because of Inaki. Though he's not in love with Romina, Paloma refuses to accept his love overture because of her friend Romina and the promise they made to each other that a man will not cause their separation. After a while and with Macarena's support, Paloma accepted to be Emilianio's girlfriend.

This did not go down well with Carlota. I wonder why she loves wearing purple. I guess the type of discipline and traditional life style Carlota was brought up with forced her to live an austere life. But something is really wrong with her. Why would she insist on marrying Christobal even when he was wearing cassocks? She really had the town folks fooled with her pious upright attitude and generosity. She would do anything including murder to get what she wants and to conceals secrets. With blackmail, deceit and cruelty, she controls Macarena until she pushed her to her death. For Paloma, Carlota will make sure that she is not out of her control and dominion. To achieve this, she forges and prepares a new will which stipulates that Paloma can not come to her inheritance till 21 instead of immediately. Poor Carlota, she has lived a loveless and bitter life all her life so she ensures that no one from the Espinoza Monteros family is happy. She ensured that Macarena was ever so sickly and needing drugs. She adulterated drugs that she administered on her, With the big secret that Paloma is her daughter that she gave away and the quilt that her father died because of the pregnancy, she had Macarena on leach. When Macarena's health failed and she was rushed to the hospital, she destroyed all the adulterated drugs and started pretending that she cared. Even when her sister she was discharged and Camilla took her home, Carlota was angry and insisted that she is the sister and should be the one caring for her. Paloma though timid at times shows more resistance to Carlota's control than Macarena. This is why she started the relationship with Emiliano.
