Episode 7 - Lucia discovers the truth

Alejandro tells Soledad he loves her but later goes ahead with plans for his wedding to Isabela. Mercedes and Reinaldo became lovers again. Soledad learns about the engagement party. Isabela tells the hospitalized Oscar that she is the daughter of Aristides and knows he killed him, that she is going to marry Alejandro. All the brothers got drunk. Soledad visits Oscar, tells him she is the daughter of Aristides and asks him if he can help her (although he is incapable of speech). Rodrigo enters the room at the end of her question and invites her back to the house where everyone insults her and left and a drunk Alejandro again confesses his love for her.

Brenda confronts Mercedes in the hospital and tells her that while she was in the convent, Reinaldo visited her at the apartment he bought for her, she became very furious and when Ray came to see her, she tells him to get lost. Rodrigo, frightened by Lucia’s memories of Felicia, tells Reinaldo to find her and kill her, in the form of an accident and refuses to tell him why. Romelia and Felicia bump into each other on the street: old friends who haven’t seen each other for years.
Isabela’s nana read the cards and tells her she will hurt herself if she hurts Soledad. Reinaldo confesses to Alejandro that Reina wrote the letters. Alejandro gives the letter to Soledad and explains the mix-up but José Luis kicks him out and tells Soledad it is just another lie. Alejandro confronts Reina who, finally, confesses but says that Isabela forced her to do it and Alejandro believes her. Then she finds Isabela and tells her she heard Alejandro telling somebody the wedding was off.
Isabela tells Rodrigo that her parents died when she was young, that Alvaro is her godfather. Her nana tells her she shouldn’t have told him. Lucia finds some documents in Rodrigo’s office in which she discovers that she is his legitimate wife and she inherited all her father’s wealth; moreover, in the event of her death, the money does not go to Rodrigo which, she realizes, is why he never killed her. On realizing this, she left the house, finds Romelia, tells her she knows she’s Rodrigo’s wife and begs her to tell her which is her son. José Luis forces Romelia to tell her: it is Alejandro. Rodrigo tells Emperatrix not to help Lucia in any way. Reinaldo is convinced that Rodrigo has asked him to kill his mother.
Alejandro and Soledad reconcile and went out on a yacht. Romelia tells Lucia that Reinaldo is her son. Soledad and Alejandro become lovers. Guillermo overhears Reinaldo and Rodrigo talking about contraband and confronts them; Reinaldo admits it is true. Guillermo tells Rosaria and then Alejandro. A masked Reinaldo warns Felicia to leave town that Rodrigo wants her dead. She tells Romelia and they decide it must be because she knows that Lucia is his wife. Rodrigo tells Emperatrix he wants Alejandro to marry Soledad not Isabela. Mercedes asks Rodrigo for some money for expenses. Reinaldo and Sabas burnt José Luis’ boat.
