In a chilling twist in La Promessa, the solemn ceremony of Leocadia takes an explosive turn when Dr. Gamarra unexpectedly appears, shattering everything Leocadia had carefully planned. Leocadia’s ambitions have been climbing ever since the fall of Cruz, setting the stage for her to take control of La Promessa. She had manipulated every situation and person around her, from Giana and Cruz to Curro, each step carefully calculated in her pursuit of ultimate power. But now, her careful machinations are about to face a force she never anticipated.

Alonso, the marquis, is unknowingly swept into Leocadia’s grasp, manipulated into a proposal he cannot refuse. She promises him the salvation of his family’s fortune, and, driven by his sense of duty and financial desperation, Alonso accepts. But what Leocadia did not foresee was the return of Dr. Gamarra, and his return will have far-reaching consequences. Not only does Gamarra reveal his true identity, but he imposes a punishment upon Leocadia so harsh it might just be the most devastating of the entire series.

Leocadia had been patiently waiting for this moment, sure that once she married Alonso, her hold over La Promessa would be secure. However, her plans begin to unravel when she learns of potential movements in the courts, concerning Cruz’s case. Petra, her loyal servant, rushes in with news: there’s talk of reopening the case against Cruz, and there’s a real possibility he could be exonerated. A storm of uncertainty sweeps through the mansion as Leocadia grapples with the potential return of her adversary, the one person who could ruin everything she has worked for.

As the plot thickens, the tension in La Promessa mounts. Leocadia’s cold demeanor conceals the frantic chaos brewing inside her. She ponders the future with a determination that borders on madness, whispering to Petra that if Cruz returns, everything she has taken will crumble. It’s clear now that she has no choice but to eliminate the last obstacle standing in her way: Alonso, the marquis, whose authority is still respected by those around him. He is the one person who could prevent Leocadia’s plans from coming to fruition.

Petra, hesitant, questions the wisdom of killing Alonso. After all, the risks of being caught are high. But Leocadia, with a chilling calmness, reassures her that when the time comes, Petra will have to make a choice: stand with her or fall with her. Leocadia’s words hang in the air like an unspoken threat as Petra realizes the grim reality of their situation—no one in that mansion is truly safe.

Just as the situation grows dire, Lorenzo, a figure of sarcasm and intrigue, enters the scene. His sharp eyes quickly take in the tension in the room, and he’s eager to become part of whatever dark scheme is unfolding. He seems to thrive in the shadows, pulling the strings and offering his services to Leocadia without hesitation. His words are laced with a sinister energy, as he eagerly asks what they are about to destroy next.

Leocadia, in her cold, precise manner, tells him they are about to secure La Promessa once and for all. But before they can take their final steps, Alonso must be dealt with. The pact is sealed, and the atmosphere in the mansion becomes even more oppressive as the three of them plan the downfall of the marquis.

The next morning, a dark sky looms over La Promessa, mirroring the ominous energy surrounding the mansion. Leocadia walks through the halls with an air of deadly intent. Her every movement is deliberate, as she prepares for the next phase of her plan. She arrives at Alonso’s office, and as she sees the door slightly ajar, a sense of foreboding fills the air. Inside, Alonso is deep in thought, his face etched with concern. The weight of his responsibilities is evident in the furrow of his brow, but he remains unaware of the storm about to break over him.

Leocadia enters, calm and composed, as if the world outside the walls of La Promessa had not shifted at all. She greets Alonso politely, and the two begin to converse. It’s clear that Leocadia has an ulterior motive, as her gentle tone betrays her hidden agenda. She speaks of rumors from the courts—rumors of Cruz possibly being released, of the case being annulled due to insufficient evidence. Alonso listens, his posture rigid, but his eyes flicker with a trace of concern.

Leocadia’s words are careful, calculated. She questions whether Alonso truly believes Cruz is guilty, suggesting that if the evidence is insufficient, Cruz might be innocent after all. Alonso, ever the man of justice, disagrees, standing firm in his belief that Cruz is guilty. But Leocadia presses further, her words sharp and subtle, casting doubt on Alonso’s certainty. She tells him that if Cruz is indeed innocent, he must return, and that this would leave her with no reason to stay at La Promessa.

Alonso is visibly shaken, but Leocadia’s logic cuts through his doubts. She tells him she will leave if Cruz is exonerated, knowing that her presence only stirs conflict. Alonso pleads for her to stay, but Leocadia knows exactly what she wants. She has him right where she wants him, and the lines between affection and manipulation blur as she steps closer to him. The moment is electric with tension as she whispers that there is only one way for her to remain at La Promessa: Alonso must give her a reason to stay.

In a move that surprises even Alonso, Leocadia steps closer, and with a gentle, calculated kiss, she seals her fate. Alonso, taken aback, is left unsure of what just transpired. Leocadia pulls away, her smile enigmatic, as if she has just completed a game she’s been playing for far longer than anyone realized. The kiss was not just a gesture of affection; it was a declaration of power. The true nature of Leocadia’s ambitions is laid bare, and Alonso is left to wonder just how deep her manipulations run.

This moment marks the beginning of a new chapter in La Promessa, where alliances shift, loyalties are tested, and the line between love and betrayal becomes increasingly blurred. As Dr. Gamarra’s arrival looms, the stage is set for a reckoning that will change the fate of all involved, revealing secrets long buried and altering the future of La Promessa forever.
