Argument

The story revolves around the lives of 6 women who are facing the reality of their day to day life with their partners. The first woman is Antonia Palacios (Rebecca Jones), a successful and respected woman, who is married to Patricio González (René Strickler). The couple has a daughter, Paola (Thelma Madrigal). Antonia works for Braulio Longoria's (Alejandro Camacho) company, but when Pao has an accident, Antonia decides to resign and spend more time with her family. When Pao recovers, she and Patricio encourage Antonia to start her own real estate company.

The second woman is Rosaura Perez (Zaide Silvia Gutierrez), a secretary married to Rolando Salgar (Jesus Ochoa), a womanizing taxi driver. Rolando is having an affair with a younger woman, Mireya, and leaves Rosaura and their two children Cesar and Jenny. Rosaura starts working for Antonia's real estate company, and will try anything to get her husband back.

Barbara Mantilla (Alejandra Barros) is the third woman who works for Antonia's real estate business. Behind the appearance of a happy woman, Barbara hides an intense frustration caused by Jaime Espinosa (Juan Carlos Barreto), a jealous and alcoholic husband who is physically abusive. Along with the couple lives his mother, Dona Conchita Cabrera (Magda Guzmán), a manipulative woman who tries to ruin the life of Barbara and supports everything that Jaime does. Antonia soon discovers these problems and tries to help Barbara.

Maite Duarte (Sophie Alexander)is a former client of Antonia who comes to work for Antonia's real estate company after she is let go from the company she worked before. Antonia realizes that Maite is an ambitious and neurotic woman who is determined to compete with her husband Jorge Casso(Mark Tacher) for money. Maite begins a legal fight with him to get a divorce. Despite this, Antonia doesn't deny the opportunity to work and tries to help her.

The fifth woman to join the company is Yorley Quiroga (Africa Zavala), who is weary of David Magaña (Flavio Medina), her slacker husband. David abandons his family to try his luck in the United States. Meanwhile Yorley falls in love with Leonardo Torres (Agustín Arana), but unfortunately for her, her daughter and David disagree with the relationship and try to break them up.

Renato (Edgar Vivar) is the gay owner of a beauty salon. Charito (Marcia Coutiño), one of the haidressers and Renato's best friend, is completely in love with handyman Alcides (Alex Sirvent). Alcides is gay but, fearing rejection, he keeps his true sexual orientation a secret - which he eventually reveals to Renato and Barbara. Alcides' best friend Quintin (Eduardo España), a chauvinistic man who spends his time criticising women for their 'lack of morals', falls for Charito.

Finally, the sixth story is that of Valeria Andrade (Nailea Norvind), a socialite and fashion icon. Unbeknownst to society, she is a victim of psychological abuse by her husband, the respected businessman Braulio Longoria. Valeria has always had the idea that she is just a rag doll that Braulio bought from her mother, a prostitute who believed that Braulio would give a better life to her daughter and help her out financially. Unfortunately for him, his son Sebastian Longoria (Alfonso Dosal) is rebellious and ignorant to the problems of his parents. Valeria soon joins the team of Antonia.

Antonia is proud of the assistance being given to the other women. All this changes when she develops breast cancer that begins to slowly break down her marriage when she tries to hide it. But despite all of this, Antonia is no longer the example to follow and changes the lives of all women who have come to her and gradually learns that there still is hope for love again.
