The halls of La Promessa continue to hum with intrigue, hidden alliances, and perilous schemes, where every shadow conceals a truth poised to explode. This time, the beating heart of the mystery resides in the Lop jewelry shop, where an seemingly innocent detail transforms into a disturbing revelation. Curro uncovers a chilling fact: Jacobo is a registered regular customer. This piece of information changes everything.
This connection could link Jacobo not only to the attempt on Curro’s life but also to the suspicious death of Jana, opening sinister possibilities about what truly lies beneath the Luyan family’s smiles. But the revelations don’t stop there.
Lisandro’s Leverage and Confrontations
Dolly Sandro De Carvalle y Cifuentes now possesses an impressive amount of compromising information on the Luyans. When truth comes knocking, a confrontation becomes inevitable. The Duke faces Alonso with the upper hand, armed with knowledge. Catalina’s secret marriage, Eugenia’s mysterious disappearance, and the palace’s darkest secrets threaten to unravel everything, even shaking the very foundations of the court.
Meanwhile, Romulo decides it’s time to confront Emilia. The two engage in a tense face-off, attempting to dig through the rubble of lingering grudges and disappointments. But they aren’t the only ones grappling with the past. Father Samuel appears shattered, distraught by a letter from the bishopric. Maria Fernandez, concerned, urges him to confide in her, but the letter’s contents remain shrouded in painful silence.
Leocadia’s Devious Plans and Eugenia’s Resilience
Leocadia, ever the schemer, moves in the shadows. She feigns an alliance with Eugenia, attempting to extract information Eugenia received from Cruz during her imprisonment. But Eugenia, stronger and more perceptive than ever, doesn’t fall into the trap. Not only does she expose the deception, but she puts Leocadia on edge: her sister has begun to suspect something, and the approaching truth makes Leocadia tremble.
Under Leocadia’s direct orders, Lorenzo sets in motion a cruel plan: to make Eugenia relapse into her illness or, alternatively, send her back to the sanatorium. However, their secret alliance begins to crack when the Duke himself corners Leocadia, openly questioning her true objectives. Her answer is unsettling: she doesn’t just want a piece of the power, but the entire feast.
Meanwhile, Sergeant Burdina makes a sudden raid on the engine laboratory. His appearance deeply disturbs Tono and places Manuel under new, heavy pressure. The presence of the Civil Guard could spell serious trouble for their dream of relaunching the business.
Delayed Departures and Rekindled Conflicts
Catalina and Adriano choose to postpone their departure from La Promessa. But is it truly for a wait, or merely a strategic move to disorient Lisandro? Meanwhile, as Curro and Lope busy themselves with new jewelry pieces, Emilia and Romulo seem finally close to mending their relationship. But an unexpected argument reopens old, never-fully-healed wounds, threatening their newly found equilibrium. And in the dead of night, while everything seems enveloped in silence, a question continues to echo through the palace walls: How far will Leocadia go to get everything she desires? And what price will the Luyans have to pay for their secrets?
In a world where appearance matters more than truth and where alliances are forged in the dark, it’s increasingly difficult to distinguish friends from foes. But truth, however hidden, always finds a way to emerge.
A Dangerous Alliance and a Shocking Discovery
In the heart of the Promessa estate, tension soars. Leocadia, aiming to forge an eternal bond between the Duke of Carvali y Cifuentes and the Luyan family, proposes a move that leaves everyone speechless. She wishes to involve Catalina and Adriano’s newborns in an alliance that she claims would be strategic for their future. But behind this initiative lies something dark and disturbing. Catalina and Adriano, indignant and protective, firmly oppose any possible connection with Lisandro. They refuse to even consider involving their children. For them, it is an insurmountable boundary. But Leocadia doesn’t give up; she’s convinced that in such an unstable environment filled with power games, such a move could ensure the children’s safety. Or at least, that’s what she implies.
While Leocadia weaves her schemes, Curro continues to dig into Jacobo’s murky past and uncovers a disturbing detail: a close link with Esteban Monteclaro that no one expected. Surprisingly, he turns to Manuel to better understand the nature of this connection, but what he discovers destabilizes him even further. The relationship between Jacobo and Esteban is not merely familial; it could conceal far more dangerous motivations. After sharing his discoveries with Lope, the two boys conclude that Jacobo’s intentions towards Martina are far from sincere. He might be driven by personal revenge rather than love, casting a menacing shadow over the impending wedding.
Meanwhile, Leocadia and Jacobo strengthen their alliance against Eugenia. They are well aware of the growing power Eugenia is gaining in the Palace and fear that with the help of the Count of Ayala, she could overturn all their plans. But Eugenia is not unarmed; she knows deep secrets, truths capable of destroying her enemies’ reputations. Concerned that Eugenia might strike first, Leocadia and Lorenzo go on the offensive, seeking to destabilize her mental state. They use a balm containing a harmful substance that could have devastating effects on Eugenia’s psyche. However, the operation has a dangerous side effect: Maria Fernandez, tasked with the massages, also risks suffering the consequences.
Meanwhile, Jacobo allows himself to be consumed by Martina’s grudges. His fiancée fuels a growing hatred in him towards the Duke of Carval y Cifuentes, and Jacobo seems ready to indulge her every desire for revenge.
Riccardo, in the meantime, continues to hope for a miracle: Santos’s return to La Promessa. The distance now seems insurmountable, but the pain doesn’t abandon him. He shares his concerns with Pia, seeking comfort and wondering if there’s still a chance to heal the wounds of the past.
Finally, a dramatic confrontation explodes in Manuel’s laboratory. Lisandro surprises him and openly accuses him. He never accepted Manuel’s marriage to Jana, a simple servant, and considers him guilty of compromising the family’s honor. His words are filled with contempt and anger, confronting Manuel with a difficult truth to ignore.
At La Promessa, stories of ambition, love, and deception intertwine, where family ties are often used as bargaining chips and emotions become silent weapons. What is the price of loyalty, and how far can one go to protect what they love?
