The End of Catalina-y-Sebastian

Carmelo went with Catalina to Santa Cruz for the burial of Lupe. In the church, he was prevented by the town folks from entering. The police chief told him the coroner's report indicated that Lupe did not die when his will was read but recently and he was the principal suspect. He replied that he was there for the burial and afterwards he could be questioned. The town folks disagreed and Panchito brought handcuff to tie him to a tree. He snatched the handcuff from the old man and handcuffed Catalina to himself instead daring anyone. Sebastian ran and entered the car and sped off followed by Ramiro and Chuchu. At the ranch he got a gun to go kill Carmelo and all entreaties by the duo did not stop him. Carmelo entered the church and pointed the gun at the crowd so everyone backed off while he approached the coffin. He started crying and still rebuked Lupe in death for not acknowledging and loving him. He started confessing how he kidnapped and kept him to himself with the hope that he would love him but he rejected him. Panchito stepped forward and sweet talked him into confessing all while trying to distract and open the handcuff to release Catalina.
Silvia's Will was to be read so the Attorney called Eduardo. When Ricardo saw Eduardo he became angry but the Attorney said that was Silvia's request. The Will was a video recorded prior to the unfortunate surgery. Ricardo got a shocker because everything except fond memories were left for Eduardo. The jerk called Ricardo got memories, shame and disappointment. He flew into a rage and rushed out to see the mother who was being discharged from hospital crying with frustration and embarrassment. He had no choice than to go look for a job in a restaurant and he had to start at the bottom cleaning. Adela was taken to their new home which was Alicia's humble home.
Sebastian rushed back to the burial mass with a gun and asked Carmelo to leave but he got angry and kicked the coffin twice in disrespect to the dead saying he would only leave with Catalina his wife. Jessica rushed in saying Catalina was not his wife because he married her with the Mendoza's surname and at that time, his name was not legally changed. What a relief to all and anger to Carmelo who pulled Catalina to himself and pointed the gun to kill Sebastian because she professed her love and loyalty to him. The police Chief shot him narrowly missing Catalina. Carmelo fell on Miss Antoniete's lap. (What irony) Petra the custodian of secrets finally told her that Carmelo was her son. The dying son rejected the mother and said it was okay to die without knowing whom his mother was and the mother also rejected and pushed him off her lap. (What a shame).Panchito finally got a chance and freed Catalina who ran into Sebastian's arm. Back home, Josephat packed out leaving Miss Antoniete with loneliness, bitterness and the knowledge that Carmelo was her son. The police came to ask for the corpse to be moved but Miss Antoniete denied any relationship with Carmelo and drove him out. What a sad end to mischief, wickedness and jealousy.
Sebastian came to see Adela and offered his love, support and financial assistance to the Negretes but having learnt their mistake, they rejected the offer. Gustavo promised working hard and ensuring they all live within his income. The only person who would have objected would have been Adela but fate had settled her case by confining her to a wheel chair and shutting her up. Even Luisa vowed to study hard to get government scholarship.
The marriage by the church was wonderful and successful. Ricardo did not come for the wedding because he had to work. Father Dimitris joined Catalina and Sebastian together in Holy matrimony before all the town folks. After the wedding, Ramiro was busy signing autographs for all his fans. Adela could not wear all those fanciful clothes because she was on a wheel chair. Sebastian and Catalina sealed their marriage with a Kiss.
THE END.

Silvia died

During discussion and preparation to go for shopping, Catalina asked about the killing and kidnapping of Lupe and Carmelo relunctantly admitted killing Lupe indirectly. He used that to threaten Catalina and Sebastian hidden in d bar heard all. Carmelo said that Marcelo was not dead or killed by him as people claimed but was enjoying a long holiday far away in another country. He said that Marcelo was smarter than all of them. Just then, Marcelo was shown in his trunk swimming and enjoying himself. He came out and a lady approached with Emilia's face asking to be his companion but he declined. Carmelo told Catalina that they would soon go far away from everyone. They left for shopping and Sebastian came out from hiding and was advised not to come back by Luisa and Catalina. On his way out, Adela was coming in and Luisa begged her not to talk but that was the first thing she told Carmelo. Luckily he took it as a bother for not buying the house.
Ricardo was at the hospital when Silvia came out of Coma and asked for Eduardo. Eduardo came to see Silvia and while talking to her she squeezed his hand though unconscious. Eduardo was was happy but at that instance, she gave up and Ricardo quickly turned off the life support and exclaimed he's rich. The doctor came and confirmed that she was dead and burial plans should be made. Ricardo pointed at Eduardo for that and left for the lawyer's office. The Lawyer told him to bring the death certificate and wait for two days before the will can be read.
Carmelo and Catalina left to eat at a restaurant. Sebastian called Catalina to tell her about Lupe's body that was found as confirmed to him by Martina but Petra picked the call and described the restaurant to him. He went to the restaurant and Catalina saw him. She left to be with him while Ramiro distracted Carmelo. When the commotion was getting out of hand, Catalina came back from the 'use of the toilet' and pretended she was just seeing Ramiro coincidentally. Trust the maniac Carmelo, he quickly took her out of there back home.
Antonio left Santa Cruz accompanied by Josephat and Rufina for Mexico to meet with Catalina. In the Penthouse, Petra opened the door for them and explained her reasons for being there. The three friends went to the kitchen to talk. They decided it was time for Petra to tell the whole world the truth about Carmelo and Antonio paternity. Not knowing that Antonio came to eavedropped on their conversation, the three friend confessed that he was truly a Perez so he confronted them. Carmelo and Catalina came back to the penthouse and met them. They told him that Antonio was not Miss Antoniette's son and therefore not a Mendoza.

Alicia's wedding

Catalina decided to save Sebastian and the baby from Carmelo's evil plan by pretending to be a loving wife.
Silvia developed complication after the surgery. Instead of Ricardo being with him at that critical time he left to see the Attorney handling the will. Like mother like son. When Eduardo was told, he became worried and wanted to go immediately to see her.
Gustavo realised that Adela had only cared for money and did not love him as he had thought. Is this revelation or realisation not too late?
Sebastian went to the police station and was told Carmelo made an accusation against him. He was livid with anger and becoming violent that the police man ordered him to leave. He went to find out about his father's body and when they would arrest Carmelo but the table turned against him. Jessica dragged him away but he flung her hands away from him . He told her that she was responsible for all the problems because Catalina married so that the ranch would be given back to them. He went to Alicia's and he was told of their plan to help them escape during her wedding. At last, Sebastian thanked Eduardo for helping him and Catalina. He left to prepare a car. He called Romero to come and help him with the escape.
Everyone left for Alicia's wedding except Adela who was not going. Alicia called to tell Catalina of the change in plan that the escape would be from her house. Luisa picked the call while Adela was listening to it too at the living room. The plan was succesful until Adela removed the car cable and went to inform Carmelo that Catalina had disappeared. Alicia's cake was ruined when Carmelo pushed her away from the way and rushed out for Catalina. They met the couple outside and Carmelo brought out a knife to stab the baby in the womb if anyone tried stopping them. Petra decided to go to help Catalina and stood up to defend Carmelo. She immediately earned his trust. She left the wedding reception with them to the penthouse. Carmelo asked her to go stay in the room upstairs but she listened at the door when Carmelo slapped and pushed Catalina but could not do anything.Gustavo for once hit Adela for her ill-advised role in the calamity that had befallen Catalina and the whole family. She left for the penthouse and met her daughter in a submissive posture and sha was happy. What a mother! Later Petra explained why she did what she did. Catalina wrote a letter for Sebastian and Petra delivered it.
Adela discussed with Carmelo that she was divorcing Gustavo and he promised helping her with the money. She left to see the card reader who told her that tragedy awaits. She got angry and left without paying the man. Back home she asked for the house and Carmelo yelled back that there is no house and no more money. Adela decided to use the kidnap of Lupe to blackmail Carmelo but it did not work.
Guadalupe's body has been found but would be sent for autopsy to determine the cause of death and the actual time of death.
Romero signed a new contract as a soloist. Sebastian read the letter and decided to go see Catalina in the penthouse. He wanted them to run away but Catalina refused and pleaded with him to go. Carmelo was preparing because they are going for shopping. When Carmelo came out, they forced him under the wine bar.
Ricardo does not want this long coma of Silvia while Eduardo was really worried about her.

The confrontation

Carmelo after dropping the corpse in the river probably to be eaten by fishes, rushed back to the city. He put a call through to Jessica threatening her with death like Emilia and Lupe if she does not withdraw her confession accusing him of forgery. Luis and Alicia came to see Sebastian to console him on Lupe's death. They accused Carmelo of Killing Emilia and Lupe too. Sebastian was waiting for Carmelo to force him to confess all the crime done to Lupe. Carmelo went to the hospital to pick Catalina but was held back for questioning on the death of Lupe the night before. He denied any knowledge and instead accused Sebastian and Catalina of adultery. He said that his accusers just wanted to confuse the authority.
Antonio felt bad that Lupe died without acknowledging him. A mass was conducted for Emilia and at the mass, Father Dimitris told the woshippers that Lupe was dead and a mass would be conducted later. Antonio called Miss Antoniete out and asked her about the drowning when he was a baby. She denied it so Antonio said she only gave him life and a truck. He gave her back the truck keys and promised doing something with his life. Miss Antoniete remembered what Ruffi and the father told her so she ran after him. She later admitted and asked for his forgiveness. At Miss Antoniete's ranch, Antonio asked what she did with the Perez's child and she said she gave it to Petra. At the end they concluded that Carmelo is that child.
Carmelo got to the penthouse and sebastian confronted him on the disappearance of Lupe' body by dazing him blows. He later went to make a statement that Sebastian beat him up and ran away with his wife. He went to his apartment to get the gun but Marcelo that had been waiting for him had taken the gun. He held Carmelo captive till the next day when they would go to the bank for his share. Sebastian and Catalina left for Alicia's and it was decided that Catalina should go into hiding. Sebastian accused Petra of messing with innocent babies lives. She pleaded for forgiveness and said that she regretted it. Eduardo finally said goodbye to Catalina and left.
Adela went to see Ricardo claiming he's her last hope on becoming rich but was orderd out by Silvia and Ricardo could not do anything instead blamed the mother for always bothering Silvia.
Jessica ran to the church for safety and asked Father Dimitris not to tell anyone her whereabout not even her grandfather Chucho who was in Mexico.

Lupe finally died

Carmelo went to confirm that Lupe was alive then went to inform his accomplice and together, they left for the hospital to kill Lupe.

While still talking to Sebastian and Martina, Lupe died and the children were devastated. Romero and Catalina came in to console them. The nurse rushed in and confirmed that he had died so she left to inform the doctor on duty. But she came back saying the doctor was busy with surgery operations. While grieving outside, Carmelo and Marcelo came to the hospital and overheard the news so a changed of plan saw them changed into hospital cleaners uniforms. They got in while the others were making their complaint to the police about them kidnapping and killing Lupe.
Antonio was desperate to know the truth. He left to see Wakina who told him they exchanged their baby for Miss Antoniete's because of money. They also wanted Antonio to find out who Miss Antoniete gave their son to. They lied about their involvement. Meanwhile, Miss Antoniete's wants Antonio to continue with her revenge of hurting the Mendoza's. Antonio came back and felt bad that his supposed family did not want him. He felt lonely but Panchito comforted him. Antonio confronted Miss Antoniete who pleaded for forgiveness and understanding of her situation then. She cried and asked for a chance to change. Can a leopard change her skin?
Carmelo and Marcelo picked the corpse from the hospital and drove toward the town to dispose of it into the river. The police in the hospital cannot prove the accusation since the body had disappeared. Marcelo now wanted by all means the share of the inheritance so he can leave Mexico to the beaches in Canada.
Sebastian and Catalina left for the penthouse after lodging the complaint with the police. Adela refused them to stay but Sebastian told her he still owns the penthouse since the change in documents had not taken place. They told her Carmelo is a wanted man for murder.

Catalina discovered Lupe

Catalina got there and discovered the lonely and dying old man was Lupe that everyone was looking for. She got there by chance and by her act of kindness and discovered Lupe. He told her everything about his kidnap and Carmelo's wickedness. He asked for her forgiveness and asked to see her children before he died. She calmed him down and advised him to rest that she would get in touch with Sebastian immediately. She went out and entered the car and told the bodyguard to hike a ride to the penthouse. They stopped at a phone booth to call Sebastian while Gustavo and the rest went home.
Due to the story of Emilia, Sebastian and the others organised a search for Lupe at the ranch and its surrounding. They were convinced that Lupe will be in the ranch because Emilia came back there to search not knowing that Marcelo lied to her.
The bodyguard told Carmelo that Catalina got away and left him in the hospital. As usual, he was furious and told Adela that if she does not arrive with the others and got back with Sebastian that he would hurt the baby. How wicked can he be.
Sebastian told the police to search for Lupe and they said that they are waiting for the paperwork to be completed. He was angry at their bureaucrasy and slow pace of investigation. But the policemen that came said that rules must be followed. They calmed Sebastian down and everyone was in mournful mood because of Emilia. They started paying tributes to her. Emilia really needed Affection but in a wrong way. Sebastian was really sad that she died trying to help her but Miss Antoniete revealed that she had started sleeping with Marcelo before Lupe disappeared so he should not blamed himself for her dead. Sebastian now told everyone that he was later told all the evil things she and Jessica did to separate Catalina and him. He also informed them that Catalina is expecting his baby and he had gotten back togetther. Miss Antoniete started plotting how to get Lupe's grandson and used the boy against him.
Catalina called home and was told Carmelo was waiting for her. She then called Jessica's but no one was there. She called the ranch and Sebastian picked the call. She told him she has found Lupe and he should come immediately. Sebastian went back to tell everyone that he and Martina with Romero will be going back to Mexico because Catalina found their father in the hospital. He warned that no one else should know in other not to endanger Lupe's life.
Carmelo being told Catalina was sick and stayed back in the hospital, went back to search for her. After informing Sebastian, Catalina went back to the hospital to be with Lupe. She told him that Sebastian was on his way. They now heard Carmelo outside so she rushed out. She told Carmelo that the doctor drove her out when he heard him yelling so she would rather go and wait in the clinic for the doctor.

Emilia dead

Emilia died in that inferno. Marcelo then realised how desperate and evil his so called friend and he would have died too. The town folks heard the explosion and rushed to the scene. Marcelo hid behind the tree and vowed to kill Carmelo. After assuring himself that Emilia and Carmelo are dead, Carmelo headed for Chuchu's house. He waited for Chuchu to leave the house then he sneaked in and threatened Jessica with death like Emilia if she does not recalled her earlier statement.
Lupe recovered a bit and gave the nurse Catalina's phone number. The nurse called but Adela and Luisa had left for house hunting. The maid got the call but wrote it on the notebook by the phone and left for the day. Gustavo in the same hospital was happy to be with Petra. He encouraged her to continue with her studies now that she is in the city.
Marcelo quickly got dressed and left for the city for a showdown with his accomplice. When he entered the apartment with a gun, Carmelo brought out his own too and they were pointing gun at each other. They later decided to work together to find Guadalupe and kill him. To ensue that, they decided to open a joint account that both will be signatory to. Afterwards, Carmelo hired a detective to look for Lupe.
Chuchu came back and Jessica confessed that Emilia was in town claiming Lupe was hidden there. Chuchu called Sebastian but he was out to see Mr Gustavo. At the hospital Sebastian entered the room the father was but the nurse unfortunately stopped him claiming a wrong room. When he entered the room Gustavo was, he heard Catalina professing her love for him and what Carmelo was trying to do to her pregnancy, he blurted out Never. He told them that he would fight to defend and protect her and their baby. The bodyguards saw him leaving and questioned him but he told them he came to look for Carmelo and they should tell him hes looking for him. The doctor came and said Gustavo would be discharged that day so Catalina went to the gym to ask for Luis help to take her father home.
Sebastian was told of Jessica's confession so he left for the town. He and Chuchu went to the police to report their suspicion. So the police went with them.
Antoniete and her son Antonio went back to the town since they could not find Lupe in Mexico. Back in the town from Mexico, they met the search party and Antonio joined them. They were told too that Emilia was dead.
Gustavo was discharged from the hospital and Luis came with a basket of fruit to take him home. Gustavo refused it so Catalina in her usual good and kind self took the basket to give the lonely old man the nurses have been talking about. She told the bodyguard to wait while she gives out the basket.

Catalina pregnant

Catalina was allowed to stay behind to care for her dad. A bodyguard was assigned to her to ensue she does not see Sebastian. She told the bodyguard that she was going to use the restroom. She left to see Sebastian in the coffee shop and told him she is pregnant with his baby. He did not believe her because she's been married to Carmelo for a while. She told him she married Carmelo because of a deal.
Alicia went to gym to inform Ricardo that Gustavo was beaten up but Silvia became jealous. What a woman. Ricardo without her, left to see the father. Ricardo and Alicia met up with Catalina in the coffee bar and Ricardo warned Catalina not to loose Carmelo as he would not share his 'inheritance' from Silvia with the family. Alicia told him to shut up as Catalina married due to a deal. Sebastian was confused and asked of the deal. While Ricardo and Alicia went to see Gustavo, Sebastian stood up and left for home. Catalina followed and they both became drunk on Tequila. Meanwhile, Carmelo was busy convincing Marcelo to kill Emilia for spreading the news that Lupe is alive. The bodyguard called that Catalina left since and had not returned to the hospital and Carmelo became mad with anger and jealousy. He left to look for her in the penthouse meanwhile she was at Jessicas with Sebastian. Wakina came to look for her real son.
Adela asked Miss Antoniete and Antonio to leave as Carmelo was not around and after telling her that Antonio does not look like her or Lupe. Miss Antoniete offered to pay Adela much more money than Carmelo was paying if only she can spy on him and informed them where Lupe was being kept captive.
Catalina came back to the penthouse into the fury of a furious Carmelo but she escaped the probe. She told Carmelo that there is a possibility that she's pregnant. Carmelo overruled that and said that she cannot have another man's son while married to him. Luisa suggested divorce but he said NO. At the hospital it was confirmed that Catalina was pregnant. Carmelo did not receive the news kindly and asked the doctor to terminate the pregnancy. The doctor ordered them out.
Chuchu went to Alcatraz and apologised for the falsification of Lupe's will by his granddaughter Jessica.
Miss Antoniete took the criticism of Adela seriously and wanted to investigate the origin of Antonio.
Marcelo got the money to kill Emilia but ran away with her instead. Before leaving for the town, Emilia went to see Sebastian and explained her relationship with Marcelo. She said she wanted to help find Lupe and would do anything for Sebastian. In the town where they stopped first, Emilia went to mock Jessica saying that she had lost Sebastian as she was going to find Lupe. She left to see Father Dimitris to confess everything about Lupe's disappearance and Carmelo's plot to kill her.
Sebastian came to see Catalina but she went to the hospital so he waited. Petra and Alicia came and confirmed that the baby is his and that she loves him very much. Petra told him all the intrigues Emilia and Jessica did to separate them. Petra and Alicia left. Adela ordered him out and he confronted her with Catalina's pregnancy but she denied while Luisa confirmed it and got a slap from Adela for her effort.
While at the river side doing their thing, Carmelo came and planted a bomb at the tyre of Marcelo's car. Emilia asked that Marcelo showed her where Lupe was and he said he does not know as he escaped. Emilia became angry, threw his clothes and wristwatch into the river, grapped her clothes and rushed into the car. The bomb exploded and the car and Emilia went up in flames.

Jessica uncovered

When Lupe escaped he tried to contact people but it was not possible. Help too was not forthcoming as people took him for a drunk. He wandered around in a terrible state until a good samaritan saw him unconscious in the park and called an ambulance.
Catalina and Luisa were worried about Lupe because he had not come home but Adela was more concerned about the house in Carmelo promised to buy for her. She and Carmelo were interested in purchasing a house immediately. For Adela, the house is to show off to her friends while for Carmelo, its a place to hide Lupe when found although his excuse for hurrying to move out was that Catalina was cheating on him with Sebastian. Catalina and the others went out in search of Lupe and saw him beaten and abandoned in the alley. He was rushed to the hospital. Catalina left the hospital and went home to accuse Carmelo and he admitted sending thugs to beat Gustavo. He warned them to abide by his rules or face the consequences. Adela did not see anything wrong with that but accused her family of provoking Carmelo. She then sought permission to go see her husband.
Emilia went to see Marcelo with the aim of getting the information of Lupe's whereabout. Suspecting her motive and wanting to get her full attention, Marcelo came clean on Lupe's disappearance and their involvement. Carmelo went to see Marcelo and let himself in. He went straight to the bedroom and overheard Marcelo telling Emilia all the secrets.
Sebastian still looking for Jessica called Chuchu and at that time, she was just arriving so Sebastian, Martina and Romero left the city ti find out what she knows about Lupe's disappearance. Jessica had started confessing her alteration of the will when they arrived and heard her. They were all shocked because no one thought she could do such a thing to Sebastian that she professed to love. She denied any involvement with the kidnapping .
Antonio reproached Miss Antoniete on giving her son away. She said that she regretted it. They now left for the penthouse to talk to Carmelo.
At the hospital, Catalina told her family that she's pregnant with Sebastian's son. Adela almost went into a fit. She ordered her to abort the baby. When Adela left, Gustavo advised Catalin to tell Sebastian the truth about the marriage and the baby shes expecting. Catalin then took permission to stay with her father so that she can slipped out to see Sebastian. They met at the cafe and she told Sebastian the pregnancy is his but he denied it and left. She followed him to Jessicas and they began drinking.
Adela got home and Carmelo told her he needed her absolute trust and loyalty so he gave her so much money for shopping. Adela instead would give Catalina the money to abort the pregnancy.
Not seeing Catalina with Adela, Carmelo went to search for her in Sebastian place but the door was not opened. Miss Antoniete and Antonio went to the penthouse to look for Carmelo. Adela started mocking Antoniete for having a young lover but she told her that he's her son. Trust Adela, she noticed the difference in skin colour and asked Antoniete to prove it that truly he is..
Lupe is recovering in the hospital as his blood pressure has gone down
Petra left the town to Mexico to help Alicia plan her wedding.

Lupe escaped

The ladies reviewed the Charity Concert. Adela informed them of the money for hiring the venue and asked to be given the money to pay the owner. Unfortunately for her, Kiki had mandated one of them to check that claim earlier and they were informed that the venue was free as part of the owners' contribution to charity. Adela tried exonerating herself by feignng anger and promised to go talk to the owner. Her 'show' did not convince her friends of her innocence.
Antonio came back to see Carmelo to force him to confess to the crime against Lupe. He met Catalina who was actually looking for a way to go check if the suspicion is true that she is pregnant. Antonio accused Catalina of being accomplice to the kidnapping of Lupe and she was furious. Not wanting to bandy words with him, she called Carmelo out to see him. She then seized the opportunity to to go see Alicia. She told Carmelo she was going to see Alicia and he can accompanied her. Carmelo knew he cannot go because of Antonio but issued a warning that she would be sorry if she cheated on her with Sebastian.
At Alicia's the two friends carried out the home test for pregnancy and it was positive. They were so happy because the child is Sebastians. Catalina's worry was that Sebastian would never believe her nor accept the pregnancy.
Lupe's condition became worse due to the injection given indiscriminately to put him to sleep. Carmelo was called up to see the him and provide a doctor for him. He became angry and accused the father of neglect, abandonment and non acknowledgement of him as his son. Guadalupe as stubborn as ever told him he is not his son and will never be. Carmelo got angry and Lupe too was angry and asked him to kill him at once to end the torment. He pushed a pillow to him to use in ending his life and the crazy Carmelo took the pillow and started suffocating him. Marceloand the nurse pushed him off. Marcelo calmed him down and took him to the penthouse. He told him there are better and neater ways of killing Lupe without tracing it back to them.
Gustavo, another thorn in the flesh of Carmelo dared Carmelo and left the penthouse without his permission saying he was not in jail or detention. Carmelo detailed the bodyguard to teach him a lesson. Gustavo defied the orders to go buy papers on the street. The bodyguards left guarding Lupe and went after him.
Lupe woke up and saw that everywhere was quiet. He saw the nurse sleeping from exhaustion of the aggression so he tiptoed to the door and noted that the bodyguards were not at the door. He quickly woke the nurse and asked him to call Carmelo that he was not feeling well. The nurse rushed out. At the penthouse, Kiki came to see Adela and was shocked at Carmelo's foul behaviour. Adela tried her excuses on his behalf but it did not work. Carmelo left to see Lupe but while the nurse left, Lupe bolted out. He would have been seen but he quickly took the staircase. The nurse got back and Lupe was gone. She rushed back to inform Carmelo who began to threatened her.
The bodyguards trailed Gustavo to an alley so they began beating and kicking him. Lupe was down and saw them so he quickly veered off to the street.

The Charity Concert

Romero did not want to go for the concert because of the Boom Boys but was forced later by Sebastian to go. At the concert venue, Martina was dying to see him and make up once Frankie talks to him. She was so restless that Jessica the madam of cool- and- calculting strategies warned her not to let Romero see her nervous she was. Sebastian and Romero came and sat down only for Carmelo and Catalina to arrive. Of course to make Sebastian jealous and furious, Carmelo insisted that they seat next to the Mendozas. Well the deal was that in front of the people, Catalina has to pretend to be a loving wife. She hated it and was dying to tell Sebastian how much she loved him. Kiki, Adela and her other friends were on the high table. The charity concert was a hugh success with the hall filled to capacity. After the concert, Catalina became sick and rushed out of the venue, on the way down she fainted and Sebastian had to rush to help her to a seat before Carmelo came and a doctor was called. Luisa saw the boys before they departed and for the first time, Auberto kissed her goodbye. She was dazed but enjoyed it. Adela told her to take advantage and force him to make a commitment. What a mother. She had already calculated the fees for the renting of the hall as part of her gain and informed the others but Kiki quickly asked that to be checked and confirmed from the manager.
While at the concert, Gustavo went with Alicia and Luis to make a report at the police station. The police then issued a warrant of search.
The room was searched but no one was there. The police warned Gustavo of false alarm. Carmelo was livid with anger and promised that the father-in-law will pay. When the police left Gustavo asked him what he was doing with microwave and a telly. He told them that the room is used as his office so he had the right to relax after work or heat his food before eating.
Afterwards, he instructed that Guadalupe be moved back to the room so that he can keep an eye on him. He also told the bodyguards to trail Gustavo and deal with him if he is stubborn.
Back at the penthouse, everyone was warned to stay indoors. No one is allowed to go out without Carmelo's permission. What a terror.

Contender for inheritance

While discussing with Marcelo in the bedroom, Carmelo told him of his decision to transfer Lupe to his apartment until he cleared himself of the suspicion.To gether they left for shopping because Marcelo wants to get Emilia back. Marcelo bought things for Emilia and agreed to go supervise the moving of Lupe again. In the room upstairs, Lupe asked Marcelo if he has accepted to help him escape and he would not be implicated in the kidnapping saga. Carmelo came in and heard them. He accused Marcelo of betrayal and threatened Lupe.

Gustavo with Catalina concluded to report the case to the police so that they would not become accomplices in the kidnap of Lupe. When they leave for the concert, Gustavo was to bring the police to search that room upstairs. But Carmelo had beaten them to it.

When they got to the city, Antonio went to see Sebastian to offer his help and to inform him that they were half brothers. Sebastian rejected his help and denied any relationship between them despite Antonio insistence. He said his father Lupe was not so mean to father and abandon the child even if the hateful Miss Antoniette was the mother. Antonio told Miss Antoniete about it and she was angry that he went without consulting her. Afterwards they went together to see Carmelo in his fomer apartment but no one was there. They went to the penthouse and Catalina and Luisa. Antonio was introduced as Miss Antoniete's son. Catalina's help and cooperation was sought for in locating where Lupe was hid. Carmelo came in and was angry with them for daring to come to the penthouse saying Lupe was dead. On being told, Antonio is Lupe's son, he accused Miss Antoniete of wanting to share in the inheritance of Lupe. He did not believe them and orderd them out of the penthouse.
When Antonio left, Sebastian called Rufina and she confirmed that Lupe slept with Miss Antoniete once and she became pregnant. Jessica came back and had to leave for the concert with Martina while Sebastian waited for Romero. Romero went to see Chucho on his way to Mexico and he confided in him that he suspected Jessica of conniving with Carmelo to change the Will. He also suspected that she knew about Lupe's disappearance.
In Mexico city, Romero could not tell Sebastian the suspicion of Chuchu but went with him to see Miss Antoniete to confirm the rumour that Antonio is her son with Lupe. She was out but Josepha was home and refused to confirm or deny the rumour. She pleaded with them to wait for Miss Antoniete who would soon be back.
Adela went to see Kiki to go to the concert together. Kiki accused her of giving out too many free tickets. In actual fact, she collected money from all those people.

The Search begins

Alicia told Gustavo how Catalina was forced to be in the same places as Sebastian during their honeymoon. He vowed to defend Catalina against the monster of a husband.
Carmelo called Marcelo to give him the news of a new car. He asked him to come back to Mexico because he has to move Guadalupe again.
Sebastian and Martina went to see Chuchu on their way back to Mexico to search for Lupe. Jessica came in and Chuchu did not want her to be part of the discussion because he did not trust her but Sebastian waved off his objection and welcomed the traitor into the discussion. She was told of their suspicion and she promised going with them for the search as a friend and a lawyer. She offered their apartment for them to satay while at Mexico.
Antonio was a hardworking, amiable and efficient foreman. He quickly settle in and became friendly with the town folks especially Panchito.
Back in Mexico, Carmelo took his accomplice to the car dealer and bought him a red sport car. The search party arrived the city and went to the apartment. Outside, Marcelo was admiring the new car so Sebastian and Jessica approached them while Romero and Martina took the back door into the house. At the apartment's door, they saw bodyguards who refused them entrance. Because of the commotion, the nurse came out and Romero insisted on going in but the bodyguards threw them out not before collecting the spare key from him.
Adela went for her usual business Lunch and told them she would get the Boom Boys to play at the charity. Her friend decided to give her the benefit of doubt. A new maid was employed
On meeting them outside his apartment, Carmelo said the meeting rather be coincidental and not planned by Catalina to see her lover Sebastian because she would be hard on her. Sebastian stood up for Catalina and that made Carmelo angry till they got to the penthouse. His aggression and yelling brought Gustavo out and he stood up for Catalina. When the family defended Catalin, he stomped out and on the way instructed them to clean up the attic.
Carmelo was in the apartment to get Lupe ready to be moved again. He warned Lupe to behave or be silenced for ever. The nurse injected Lupe while the bodyguards and Marcelo took the boxes to the van. At that moment, Sebastian and Romero knocked and he opened. But he blocked them while Sebastian startin shouting father to get Lupe's attention but he was sedated and the drug has started taking effect and the nurse shut his mouth with her hands.

Lupe is alive

The Negrete's family came down hard on Carmelo and he almost revealed what was going on but further enquiry from Adela made him realised that they did not know anything about Lupe being alive. Sebastian dragged Martina to Romero's house. Romero informed them of the possibilities of Lupe's living and being hidden in Carmelo's apartment in Mexico. Romero did not feel any affection towards Martina and she felt so uncomfortable in his presence. Later they left to find out anything that can lead them to Lupe. Martina felt bad that no one cares about her feelings. Jessica came to see Sebastian and when told he was not around just turned and left without asking how Martina feels. She was sad. Meanwhile Romero was looking at their photographs together and claimed Martina was still in love with the Boom Boys because she listened to their music always. Martina told Rufina that they suspect that their father is alive. Rufina had suspected that too since Lupe's body was not found but felt really sad and worried about Carmelo. She believed he had suffered so much being a tormented soul.
Miss Antoniete warned Josefa not to become familiar with the new foreman. She further told her that the new foreman is coming to live in the big house and not live in the Foreman's quaters.
Emilia met up with Sebastian in the town and started pledging her undying love for him. Sebastian told her she would always be a good friend. On sighting Jessica approaching, she asked Sebastian to kiss her goodbye and he felt for the bait. Jessica saw them kissing and turned back in anger while Emilia was smiling with victory. Sebastian was shocked at such passionate kiss that he pulled away but did not see Jessica.
When her daughters confronted her that Lupe may be alive and all of Carmelo's inheritance may be taken from him, Adela went berseck just thinking her goldmine could be gone.
Antonio arrived Santa Cruz and met Sebastian and Martina in the town square. They directed him to Miss Antoniete Ranch and gave him a run-down on his new boss. The guy became the town's gossip as the young lover of Antoniete. In the house, he was welcomed warmly but he rejected the room at the big house and decided to stay in the workers' quarters. He told Antoniete that he's always been treated specially by all and he believes it has to do with his parents stay at the ranch years ago.
At the penthouse, Carmelo promised buying a car for the wife but she was not interested. Adela tried making Catalina change her attitude and be nice for once to Carmelo but she answered her with an angry stare.

Getting close

Alvaro, the old lawyer confirmed that the man in the photograph was the sick man he saw in Carmelo's apartment in Mexico. The only snag was that he was not 100% sure since it was late and he did not pay so much attention to the man.With that statement, their suspicion that Carmelo had a lot to do with Lupe's disappearance was confirmed. It was decided that Romero should inform Sebastian immediately so a search of Carmelo's apartment can commence. Apart from Sebastian, no other person was to know in order not to jeopardise their investigation. Romero was to go to the Hotel to inform the Sebastian alone of their finding.
Back in Carmelo's apartment in Mexico, Lupe was planning on how to escape. The nurse came out and warned him that the bodyguards were outside to stop him. She went furthet to advice him not to contemplate jumping as the apartment was so high that jumping would be suicidal.
Marcelo went to see Emilia but met her abscence. Emilia went back to Santa Cruz to inform Miss Antoniete about her suspicion. Miss Antoniete dismissed her suspicion saying she needed concrete evidence that Carmelo kidnapped or hid Lupe somewhere. Emilia was disappointed but vow to go on to unravel the mystery about Lupe's purported death and Carmelo's new security arrangement.
Back at the Hotel, Sebastian agreed to play pool ball with Carmelo after being persuaded by the Boom Boys but they ended up fighting. He accused Catalina and Luisa of ganging up with Carmelo to come to the hotel to annoy him. He refused to listen to their excuses that they were not aware of Carmelo's plan. When Martina advised that they should leave, he said he was not going to give them that pleasure of seeing his exit.
The Boom Boys left and really enjoyed the moment. They were taking photographs with everyone and singing to entertain their fans and admirers. It was a real swell time to commemorate their stay at the hotel.
Rufina and Petra went to see Father Dimitris . Their mission this time was for his intervention in excluding their friend, Josefa from working now that she is sick. The father promised talking to Miss Antoniete. Outside, Ruffie left and Petra was on her way when Miss Antoniete grapped and dragged her back into the church. Before the altar, she forced her to swear that the babies were not switched. When Petra showed relunctance, she manhandled him to the extent that she became scared and told her that neither Sebastian nor Carmelo was her son. Luckily for Petra, Father Dimitris came to the altar to find out what was happening so Miss antoniete had to release her grip on her. She quickly composed herself and told the father to take care of Miss Antoniete who was an emotional wreck at that moment.
Ricardo confessed to Adela that Silvia is still in love with Eduardo despite everyhing tha he had done to make her forget him.
During their talk, Silvia threatened suicide if Eduardo does not come back to her. Maybe she was expecting 'a yes i will come back please donnt kill yourself' answer but she was wrong cos Eduardo ignored the threat and told her to do whatever she wanted. She then decided to go look for Ricardo since she does not want to be alone.
In the hotel room, Catalina and Carmelo were arguing again and she became sick. Carmelo was worried about her. He really loves her but unfortunately she does not love him.

The Honeymoon

Romero met Petra and wanted to know if she switched the babies as paid by Miss Antoinete to do but she denied that. She confessed to him that she did not do it. Romero was so happy and even let it slip that Guadalupe may be alive.The honeymooners and vacationers were ready to leave. The Boom Boys came and Adela started giving unnecessary advice. Carmelo interrupted and asked them to hurry up so that they can leave. Adela still advised Luisa to hold on to Herberto and he overheard . The boy quickly told Luisa that they are friends and nothing more. Luisa accepted and told him not to mind Adela.
On arrival at the hotel, Sebastian just saw off Jessica who said she was going to the school for her project. When Jessica's car pulled off, Carmelo and the others arrived. When Catalina saw Sebastian, she understood why Carmelo changed the plan. He came to the hotel because he knew Sebastian would be there just to annoy him. The Boom Boys were so happy that they were invited that they plunged themselves into the fun. They met Martina and Frankie especially was glad. Carmelo and Catalina had their quarrel. She accused Carmelo of pettiness and coming to the hotel to bother Sebastian. Carmelo reminded her that she is his wife and must behave like a loving wife especially before Sebastian. But she warned him to stick to the terms of the deal. While arguing one of the Boom Boys that came to get his camera in the room overheard them.
Adela went for the shopping and bought some things for Gustavo. He refused the gift and was very upset about her behaviour.
Kiki came to see Adela and she told her that the boom boys went with her children for the honeymoon. Since she is known for exaggeration, Kiki did not believe her. To prove her story, Kiki asked her to invite the Boys to do a charity concert for the less priviledged for their club. She accepted. For once Adela was not lying or exaggerating.
Martina and Luisa fought over their loved ones. Martina accused Luisa and her sister of following them about but she denied it. Martina did not believe her. Their friendship was put to test. The Boom boys came to settle the rift and invited them for a boat ride and a swim. They all left.
Catalina left the hotel room for Luisa's for the duration of the honeymoon. Carmelo warned her not to allow anyone to see her leave the room with her suitcase. At the terrace, Catalina asked for water from the bartender but Sebastian told him to bring the best champagne to her for she is married to the richest man in Mexico. Catalina ignored the sarcastic comment and insited on the water. Carmelo came and wanted to know if Sebastian was bothering his beloved wife. When he stepped away, the boys came and to show that they are so in love, Carmelo forced his 'wife' to kiss before all. Sebastian was sad.
The bodyguards were briefed by Marcelo and on the way out, Emilia came in. She wanted to know what the bodyguards were doing. Marcelo said they were there to guard Carmelo and his millions. She did not believe him and suspected that they are hiding something.
The Lawyer came and a photograph of Lupe was shown to him.

Departure for Honeymoon

The nurse informed Lupe that two bodyguards have been employed to guard him. At that time Marcelo came in and he ordered the nurse to go into the kitchen while he talked with Guadalupe. Lupe asked Marcelo to help him escape and he will be rewarded and not prosecuted for kidnapping. Marcelo smiled and told him that Carmelo 'his son' has inherited all his wealth and he has nothing now. Confused Lupe said he cannot remember when the wealth exchange took place but Marcelo warned him to obey all of Carmelo's instruction for peace sake. Stubborn Lupe still insisted on seeing his children. Never believed they are dead despite Marcelo's denial.
Catalina and luisa preparing breakfast and Adela came in furious but with an advice for the daughter to take advantage of her honeymoon and go on a shopping spree. Carmelo came in and Adela shifted her attention to him, the richest rancher in town for the purchase of the new house. Catalina informed Carmelo that the Boom Boys are coming and without them she is not going anywhere. Also Luisa will come with them and she was going to stay with her in her room. It's part of the deal and Carmelo must honour it. How long will this deal last?
Gustavo came in and Catalina went to thank him for trying to stop the wedding. Its her life and since she has chosen it, he will respect that and stand by her.
Back at the town, Sebastian and Martina went to Chuchus with Jessica. In the morning, they all went to the hotel to unwind after all that they had to go through. While packing, Romero came in and he was invited but he refused to go with them. He almost gave out their investigation but Chuchu cut in. They left and Chuchu cautioned him that it was not yet time until confirmed by the old lawyer that the man at the apartment was Lupe.
Carmelo promised doing something definitive about Lupe when he comes back from his honeymoon. Back in the penthouse, he gave Adela some money for shopping for the disappointment.
Sebastian still suffering from Catalina's betrayal. This is because he still loves her despite her deceit and greed for money. Even at the hotel, he was with Jessica but was remembering Catalina, his love.
Eduordo lamented his inability to convince Catalina to come back to him. Well if he cannot get back with Catalina, he has to move on and convince Silvia to do the same. So he decided to go talk to Silvia in the gym. At a point, I thought he wanted to go back with Silvia.
Antoniete called the doctor to see Josefa. She warned her not to tell anyone that the babies were not switched. She preferred Carmelo having everything of Lupe and not his real son as a form of punishment for rejecting her. Josefa drew her attention to the fact that Carmelo may be her son but she rejected it. She really threatened her maid. I wonder their kind of relationship. At times its cordial and at times it turbulent.

The After wedding

Josefa told her boss, Antoniete that Petra confessed that she did not switch the babies as she was paid to do. She refused to accept it. She threatened them and asked her not to divulge such information to any one in the town.
After the civil wedding, Carmelo finally gave the documents of Alcatraz Ranch to Catalina to hand over to Sebastian. Not minding the people there, Catalina started with her love story but Sebastian cut her off and asked her to give it to Martina instead. They left the penthouse back to the town. At the town, Romero said Frankie has displaced him as Martina has affection for him now. He is behaving like a spoilt, immature and unsecure boy.
Now that the civil wedding is over, Carmelo wants to know what he can do to marry Catalina in the church in Santa Cruz. What an ambition.
Father Dimitris went to see Rufina and Petra to fnd out why Lupe changed his will but they refused to say anything.
After the wedding, Carmelo went home to confront Lupe that he refused to acknowledge him
as his son but now he is the boss and Lupe will stay with him.
The Boom boys came to see Luisa and Carmelo told them that he is married now so he should be congratulated. Was the marriage a show to please and get people's acceptance? Catalina went to pack for their honeymoon and Alicia went to comfort her. Carmelo asked Gustavo to keep his wife Adela from him but Gustavo warned him to be careful with Catalina because he is capable of killing him for her sake. Carmelo left to get ready for the honeymoon.
The 'secret lover' were having a swell time. Marcelo told his lover, that he is rich now so she should stop her chase of Sebastian. Emilia said maybe Carmelo paid him to keep a secret but he denied it.
Carmelo came came back to the penthouse to say there was a change of plan. No more Cruise. Catalina was happy but her happiness was shortlived as Carmelo informed her that they are married now so they have to sleep in the same room. She accepted and got herself dressed in an overall with some cream over her face. She looked scary. Carmelo came into the room and was disgusted with her appearance. She warned him to stay off and honour their deal but Carmelo told her that he has always fought to get what he wants and Catalina will not be an exception.
Adela was angry at the cancellation of the cruise but was appeased with a promise of money for shopping. Carmelo decided to cancel the Cruise and go to the hotel in a nearby town because Sebastian was going there and he wanted to annoy him.
Lupe tried escaping but the nurse woke up and stopped him. Marcelo came in then and he tried bribing him to help him escape but he told him all his money is now Carmelos. Lupe was furious and denied ever giving everything to Carmelo.

Catalina marries Carmelo

When Lupe regained consciousness, he still insisted on seeing his children, Sebastian and Martina but Carmelo lied to him that they died in an accident on the way from the city to alcatraz Ranch. While at it Marcelo came into the room and corroborated what Carmelo said and Lupe was shattered and hysterical. He did not believe their story. This is going to be a major problem for them. The nurse came in and a deal was struck with her to ensure Lupe's confinement as a mental case for a huge settlement.

Patricia and Silvia quarrelled about her obsession with Eduardo. Patricia advised Silvia to forget Eduardo and not be stupid but Silvia fired back that she is jealous because she has no boyfriend and has not been married. Before stomping out of the gym, Patricia countered that sick and possessive women like Silvia are the ones making men to treat women with disdain.
Chuchu called Romero to find out if Sebastian has been told their suspicion of Lupe being alive and held by Carmelo but Romero said no. He said Sebastian is not happy but depressed about a lot of things so he has not told him.
Rufina, Petra and Josefa finally discussed this well kept secret that has disintegrated and created havoc in the Mendoza family in particular and the whole town in general. Petra confirmed that Sebastian is Lupe's son because she did not switched the babies as instructed by Antoniete. At that time, Antoniete showed up to take Josefa home. When Josefa left, Petra confessed to Rufina that Carmelo is Lupe's illegitimate son. She decided to hide his paternity by claiming that he is her cousin's son to save him from rejection.
Carmelo came to the town to get the signed document from Chuchu. Chuchu asked if Lupe's body is found and Carmelo quickly change the subject saying he is late for his wedding in Mexico. Meanwhile Catalina is crying in Alicia house while Gustavo is desperately going around her friends to find out why she decided to marry the despicable foreman turned heir. He was in luck when Luis told him Catalina is marrying in exchange for the return of Alcatraz to Sebastian. The hour finally came. Adela was everywhere arranging flowers and preparing for the wedding. When Gustavo accused her of coldness and insensitivity towards her daughters suffering, she brushed it off saying the daughter will get over it. She said the day was her day and the marriage her moment. Even when Catalina called it her funeral, Adela smiled and said the daughter is too sensitive. The Groom and the best man, Marcelo made a grand entry and the wedding commenced. The wedding was underway when Gustavo rushed in to stop it. Painfully, Sebastian had to witness the wedding and even commented in his heart how beautiful Catalina was in her wedding dress. Gustavo was about to reveal the blackmail but was stopped by Carmelo who ordered that they should have a talk in private. The talk ended in blackmail again. Carmelo asked for his consent and quietness in exchange for his kindness towards his daughter. He threatened to be a wicked and abusive husband if he does not shut up. When Gustavo came out from the 'talk', he looked defeated and forlorn. The marriage continued and Catalina and Carmelo were pronounced husband and wife. It was time to kiss the bride and Carmelo made a real show of it. Sebastian not willing to stand the humiliation and pain anymore asked for the documents so they can leave but Carmelo refused saying he has to stay for the toast and the cutting of the cake. The two wicked friends or female companions of Sebastian seized the opportunity to attack Catalina but Alicia rose to her defense. After the toast, it was time to cut the cake. As the newly wedded cut the cake, the ornamental decoration on it broke and fell off because Catalina was angry with Carmelo. Sebastian seized the opportunity to mock them that just like the ornament, the marriage would soon crumble.
Chuchu got a picture of GuadaLupe Mendoza to show his friend Alvaro the lawyer for confirmation of their suspicion that Lupe was the supposed sick man in Carmelo's apartment in Mexico.
Patricia got the scholarship for his Masters and is leaving for Europe. She came to make up with Silvia. They embraced and promised to continue their friendship.

Jealous Romiro

Nowadays, Romiro cannot contain his jealousy and insecurity so Martina broke up with him. Catalina has finally informed her family that she is marrying Carmelo without love and this worries Gustavo, Luisa and Alicia so much. Luisa asked her not to sacrifice herself again that their father is going to get an apartment for them to live. Later she told her she is doing it for Sebastian but she should not tell anyone especially Gustavo.
To help Romiro win back Martina a serenade was suggested and Sebastian says he would ask for a special number for the spiteful Catalina who marries for money and not love.
Carmelo and Marcelo argued about who takes care of the sick Lupe and it degenerated into threats. He informed his accomplice that he cannot kill Lupe because Petra confirmed that he is Lupe's son. Later, it was resolved that a nurse be employed to care of him.
Carmelo went to see the Negretes for the wedding plans and shopping. In the process of Catalina and Carmelo's arguement, Adela overheard the deal and decided that a cruise for the honeymoon will do and no one will suspect that they are not a couple afterall.
Ricardo came in when the two girls were talking about the boom boys and after annoying Martina went to see Adela. Adela was busy looking for a mansion to buy. She was not interested or concerned about Catalina's unhappiness. She did not celebrate Ricardo as usual and warned him that she does not want to see Silvia.
Carmelo came with flowers to invite Catalina out for dinner. Sebastian and others came in too so Carmelo taunted him that he has taken everything from him especially the love of his life Catalina. He told him that on his wedding date, he will hand over the Ranch to him courtesy Jessica who came to plead on his behalf. He also proposed to buy the penthouse from him so that he can have money to run the ranch. Martina asked Sebastian to accept and let them go back to the Ranch. When Carmelo continued provoking Sebastian, Catalina shouted him down and they went out but at the lift she warned him never to touch her again because that was the deal. As they were arguing, Sebastian came out and Carmelo grapped and kissed Catalina. Sebastian asked how much the kiss cost and got a slap from Catalina. She left Carmelo waiting at the lift and came back but not before he warned him that he would get one if he does not honour their agreement. The boom boys came and tried cheering her up but she became the more depressed. Josefa and Petra were back in their town. They went to Romiro's and were warmly received.
Petra at last told Ruffina that Carmelo is Antoniete and Lupe's son. Rufina felt sorry for Carmelo. It was because of the rejection by both parent that made Petra to keep silent all this while about his paternity.
What an irony. The father that denied his conception was the one that took care of him till adulthood.
Adela came in and warned them not to associate with the idle musicians but when her daughters pointed out that the guys are famous and could be rich, she quickly came back to sell Luisa off. Trust Adela.
Romiro came back with the serenade but met the boys singing to the ladies so he became angry and ordered a sad song instead. Even when Sebastian tried cautioning him, he refused and damn everyone.
Lupe remembered who he is and demanded to be taken to his children immediately but Marcelo hit him on the head with a bottle and he passed out.
