Amor primero

Focused on preparing for his trip and beginning a life dedicated to religion, Salvador meets Carolina, a young and cheerful seamstress who, upon seeing him, shows obvious love. After a brief conversation, the two share a long-held affection. Later, at dinner, to say goodbye to his friends and begin a spiritual retreat, Salvador meets Carolina again. This time, they both surrender to their passion, never imagining that María Luisa would almost find them together. Excited about the new life she's experiencing, Carolina visits Salvador's house hoping to tell him they're expecting a child. However, María Luisa refuses to tell him where she is and explodes with rage upon learning that the young woman is pregnant with his child. Upon arriving in the city, Carolina finds it extremely difficult to give her daughter what she so desperately needs. In the midst of a stormy night, desperation forces her to leave her little girl in a house far from her care.

While Cristina was desperately searching for a bouquet of white flowers for Carolina, Manuel mistook her for a saleswoman. The young woman corrected him and, thanks to her charisma, won the music producer's affection. Desperate to arrive with the bouquet she had ordered for Carolina's event, Cristina arrived excitedly before the prestigious designer. However, she behaved rudely and offensively toward her great admirer. After the heated encounter with Carolina, in which she felt offended, Cristina expressed her deep disappointment. Now, the admiration she felt for the designer had turned to sadness. After losing her purse, Cristina received an unexpected visit at her home from Manuel, who delivered it to her. Upon learning that Carolina had been rude to her, the producer offered the young woman another chance to meet his wife.

After the incident with Carolina, Cristina was deeply disappointed in her. However, Manuel made it his mission to convince her that his wife was different and give her the opportunity to truly get to know her. Amid the launch of her new clothing line, Carolina contacted the detective she'd hired to find her lost daughter in Europe. However, the designer didn't receive good news. Thanks to Cristina and Marisol, Lorena attended the major music event organized by Manuel. Upon seeing the producer in person, the young woman was enchanted and made that clear from the very first moment.

Upset with her husband, the designer arrived late to the event and discovered Manuel's great disappointment.

Wanting to make amends for her mistakes, Carolina waited in her room for Manuel to spend the night together. However, a phone call from Lorena interrupted the moment, arousing suspicion and jealousy.

After the unexpected encounters he had with Cristina, Carlos can't stop thinking about her. Carolina's stepson feels a special connection with the young woman and longs to see her again.
