Episode 1

Lightning illuminated the entire sky as if it were a fireworks display, it was raining torrentially as a result of the terrible storm that was raging that night, it was a very large and passable city, however, that night there was only one person outside, Sofia ran desperately under the storm, anyone who saw her would think she was completely crazy to go out in such a storm, but she didn't care, she was only interested in the health of her little daughter who had been hospitalized again a few hours earlier.

The girl stopped dejectedly in front of the huge white bars, took a breath and wiped her wet face a little with the sleeves of her soaked jacket, she wondered if she was doing the right thing in returning to her house, but despite the fact that her father had kicked her out when her pregnancy was revealed, at this moment she was willing to do anything for her daughter.

She rang the bell with trembling hands, she was afraid, her father was a despicable man, but even so she had the hope that the man would keep at least a little compassion in his heart.

A few minutes passed which seemed like years to the young woman when a gray-haired man of about seventy years old appeared at the door with a black umbrella covering him from the rain.

"Miss Zambrano, but what are you doing here?" "asked the man surprised to see the girl in the rain, he never thought he would see her again not after the way she left the mansion."

"Victor, I want to see my father, let me in" asked the young woman desperately when she saw that the man had no intention of opening the gate.

"I'm afraid I can't let you in, your family doesn't want to see you again, for them you no longer exist, suffice it to say that they have burned all your things, your photos and when someone asks about you they say that you died in a terrible accident, I'm very sorry, Miss Zambrano, you know that I have a lot of affection for you, but at this moment my loyalty is with your family, they are the ones who pay my salary."

"Victor, please it's very important, I won't leave until they receive me."

"I can't let you pass and if you keep insisting I will have to call the police."

The girl frowned annoyed, she had always thought that Victor was an adorable butler, but now that he was showing his true face she wanted to scream at him, but at this moment she didn't have time for that, Sofia grabbed the gate tightly and began to scream like a madwoman, she screamed so much, but so much that the whole family came out to see what was happening.

"I finally managed to get their attention" thought the girl when she saw her father coming out followed by the others.

"But what is happening here? Why so much screaming?" "asked the imposing man angrily."

Carlos Zambrano a man of about fifty years old, hair neatly combed back, green eyes, tall, with a coldness that could freeze even hell itself, owner of a chain of hotels and supermarkets, a man who only cares about money and nothing else, looked at the girl with all the hatred in the world.

"You damn immoral brat how dare you come to this mansion after the humiliation you have put the family through?" "asked the man clenching his fists."

"Please I need you to help me!! What happened six years ago has an explanation please dad I ask you for five minutes of your time to listen to me."

"Not even five seconds I would listen to you, for this family you are dead get out" spat the man with hatred.

"Carlos please let her in I think that despite all the bad things Sofia did she is still our daughter don't you think?" "asked Serena his wife."

"Daughter? I only have one son and nothing else, this one is not my daughter."

"My brother is right I don't know how you have the face to come and bother us after what you have done, indecent if you were my daughter I would have already corrected you with whippings" spoke Lorena Carlos's sister.

"Thank heavens I don't have such an ugly and opportunistic mother like you who lives off your brother's money because you are nobody" the woman put her hand to her chest pretending pain.

"My God, but you have become more vulgar than you were before, you don't deserve to bear the Zambrano surname, you are not worthy of it" said the offended woman while the young woman shrugged her shoulders paying no attention to what her aunt said.

It was no secret that Lorena Zambrano was a witch disguised as a little lamb, she had never loved her niece, she had always wished that her daughters had at least some of Sofia's beauty, Lorena was a widowed woman who upon the death of her husband was left in complete misery if it weren't for her brother Carlos who took her and her daughters to live in the great mansion they would live under a bridge.

Lorena always took attributions that did not correspond to her and even to a certain point she managed to make her daughters have more rights in the mansion than Carlos's own daughter.

"Leave me alone with her" said Carlos looking at the others.

"Dad she doesn't deserve it let's go inside soon they will serve the food" mentioned Gabriel Sofia's older brother.

"Gabrielito is right brother don't waste your valuable time with this shameless bad immoral daughter."

"Hey aunt if I am all that then what are your little daughters?" "asked the young woman tired of the humiliations of her aunt Lorena."

"Despicable brat I will not allow you to disrespect my precious girls" the woman tried to open the gate to hit the young woman, but her brother prevented her.

"Lorena please go inside."

Reluctantly they all left leaving Sofia alone with her father.

"Dad please I need money to pay for my daughter's hospital please help me I beg you"

"After the humiliation you made us go through in front of such a distinguished family as the Marques you have the face to come and ask for money for your bastard daughter? You are more stupid than I thought."

But I am willing to forgive your offense and allow you to return to the mansion and enjoy your queen life and if you do what I tell you.

"I will do anything if you help me save my daughter" said the girl desperately and the man let out a sarcastic laugh.

"I would never pay a penny for the life of that bastard who knows who is the daughter of, for me let her die..."

"You are a monster how can you talk like that about your granddaughter? She carries your blood."

"Unfortunately but I will never consider her my granddaughter, I offer you a wonderful deal, Adela and Hugo want to adopt a boy or girl, give them your bastard and return to the mansion you could go back to study, wear jewelry, designer clothes and travel the world."

They I am sure would pay all the medical treatments that the brat needs and I could get a good match for you one that makes us richer than we already are.

"Isn't that you have told everyone that I have died in a terrible accident?"

"We can fix it, I would say that miraculously you were saved and were in a coma in some hospital and no one knew your last name or something similar" the girl let out a loud laugh.

"You are insane! I would never lend myself to your dirty game you have never seen me as your daughter for you I was always a thing to be able to get the best out of nothing else, I would never abandon my daughter for all the gold in the world."

"Well then go putting on a black dress because I do not plan to give you a penny to save your daughter."

"I hate you, I hate you, your sister, your nieces and your perfect little son you are all damn people who will one day pay me" shouted the girl before being pushed by her progenitor into a puddle of water.

Then the man shook his hands with disgust and re-entered the mansion as if the one he had just left lying on the ground was not his daughter.

Sofia got up with pain, looked one last time at the immense mansion and swearing that one day she would take revenge on everyone she left sobbing to the hospital where her daughter is hospitalized.
