The diabolical plan unfolds… as Jana unknowingly steps into the lion’s den.

A Dangerous War Declared

Marquis Alonso, long known for his reason and measured demeanor, is pushed to his breaking point. When he discovers that Cruz, his wife, has declared open war against the Dukes of the Infantes, he reacts not with caution but with fury. For Alonso, this is no minor feud—it’s a declaration of war against a family whose power casts a long, intimidating shadow over the kingdom. The Infantes are not merely nobles—they are an institution, with influence that stretches into the highest echelons of politics, economy, and courtly society.

Cruz, however, is unmoved by reason. Blinded by pride and a thirst for revenge, she brushes off Alonso’s desperate pleas. Even when he points out that the Dukes had never shown direct hostility—even after Gimena’s tragic death—Cruz remains defiant. To her, rumors are enough to warrant destruction.

And where did these rumors originate? A seemingly innocuous comment from Lorenzo, cloaked in suggestion, that the Dukes were behind whispers threatening Cruz’s honor. Alonso, alert to Lorenzo’s manipulative history, begins to suspect a larger scheme at play. Could it be that Lorenzo is using Cruz, turning her into a pawn for his own shadowy objectives? Alonso fears the worst: that this reckless conflict is only the beginning of a deeper crisis, one that could devastate the Luján legacy.

Jana’s Golden Cage

While political games unfold at the top, Jana is unknowingly ensnared in a far more personal web. Her promotion from maid to noble guest in the Luján household should have been a triumph. She is welcomed with fanfare, offered a luxurious room, praised as Manuel’s intended bride. But behind the smiles lies a trap set by Cruz herself.

Jana soon realizes that her newfound status is not liberation, but confinement. The walls may be gilded, but they are still walls. She is watched, isolated, manipulated. What was promised as an opportunity is quickly revealed to be a calculated maneuver to control her, perhaps to reshape her into someone more “appropriate” for the Luján name—or to break her entirely.

The staff feel the shift too. Candela, Simona, Teresa—once Jana’s closest allies—grapple with a mix of pride and loss. She was one of them, and now she’s… not. Petra, ever pragmatic, declares Jana part of a new world now. Samuel, never missing a chance to sow discord, whispers venomously that Jana will forget them all. The effect is immediate: doubt, jealousy, heartbreak.

And as if that weren’t enough, a precious cross disappears from the estate, sending the household into chaos. Only Maria Fernandez knows the truth—that it was Father Samuel who stole it. But she remains silent, paralyzed by fear. Samuel’s behavior grows increasingly erratic and cruel. He dares to mock the staff’s sorrow over Jana’s absence, insisting she’s no longer one of them.

Catalina and Pelaio: A Love on the Brink

Meanwhile, Catalina’s patience with Pelaio is wearing thin. After endless hesitation, he finally swears to stand by her side. But Catalina, now visibly pregnant, demands more than promises. She wants a wedding date, a public commitment. Pelaio, though seemingly willing, continues to stall.

Only when Catalina makes it clear she is ready to walk away forever does he begin to act—though his reluctance is palpable. Their bond teeters on a precipice, and one more misstep could spell the end.

A Pact for Vengeance

Elsewhere, Martina ignites a plan that could shake the estate to its core. She has discovered that Ayala, the nobleman who ruined both her and Petra’s lives, is the father of Petra’s deceased son, Feliciano. The revelation is explosive—and Martina intends to use it.

She approaches Petra with an offer: unite against the man who betrayed them both. Petra hesitates, gripped by fear. But Martina is relentless. If they don’t act now, Ayala will continue destroying lives.

Thus begins a dangerous alliance, a blood pact forged from shared trauma. Martina demands every detail—every painful memory, every lie—from Petra, in hopes of building a case strong enough to bring down the Count once and for all.

Jana’s Fight… or Fall?

Back upstairs, Jana is struggling. The love she shares with Manuel has become her only anchor. But how long can it hold? Can she survive Cruz’s manipulation? Can she hold onto her identity while being groomed into a pawn?

Jana is determined not to break. But her strength is being tested like never before, and the illusion of control Cruz offers could soon become unbearable. As alliances shift, secrets unravel, and power plays intensify, the young woman once seen as a mere servant may become either the key to salvation or the first casualty of the war Cruz has unleashed.

A storm is coming to La Promessa. With Cruz’s plot unfolding, Jana’s world turning cold, and old wounds reopened, the next chapter promises to be a cataclysm of betrayal, revenge, and twisted love.

Don’t miss what happens next—because from here on out, nothing will ever be the same.
