Valeria Aguirre is a young, troubled young girl who was raised as an orphan. In order to meet her financial needs, she resorts to stealing, and she ends up in trouble with the law where she is sentenced to five years in prison. Behind this sentence is Miguel Reyes the prosecutor of her case. However, on the day that she is meant to leave prison and embark on a quest for revenge against the man who ruined her life, she becomes the victim of an unfortunate attack by a fellow prison inmate that leaves her temporarily blind. On hearing about the incident, Miguel realizes the injustice committed against Valeria and feels guilty. He visits her at the hospital where he pretends to be a doctor. With time, Valeria and Miguel develop feelings for each other, though Valeria is not aware that the man she has fallen in love with is the one who ruined her life. However, Miguel leaves her, knowing that Valeria will never forgive her.
After leaving the hospital, Valeria meets Engracia and Encarnación, two sisters who cared for her as a child and are aware of her true origins. Valeria's new found happiness will be short-lived, as she will soon encounter Imperio Laya, a terrible and cruel woman who is Valeria's biological mother. Over the years, Imperio worked really hard to establish herself into a powerful woman in the eyes of society through the help of Vicente, her husband who placed all his wealth at her disposal. An unfortunate accident involving Lorena, Miguel's wife, will bring Valeria face to face with Imperio. She will enter Imperio's perfectly organized world and begin to disturb it, much to Imperio's fury. The only person Valeria trusts is Ignacio, Imperio's lover who will fall in love with Valeria. Overcome by jealousy, Imperio will do everything in her power to ruin the love between Valeria and Miguel. Little does she know that Valeria is the daughter she thought had died years ago.
