Los hilos del pasado

Focused on preparing for his trip and beginning a life dedicated to religion, Salvador meets Carolina, a young and cheerful seamstress who, upon seeing him, shows obvious love. After a brief conversation, the two share a long-held affection. Later, at dinner, to say goodbye to his friends and begin a spiritual retreat, Salvador meets Carolina again. This time, they both surrender to their passion, never imagining that María Luisa would almost find them together. Excited about the new life she's experiencing, Carolina visits Salvador's house hoping to tell him they're expecting a child. However, María Luisa refuses to tell him where she is and explodes with rage upon learning that the young woman is pregnant with his child. Upon arriving in the city, Carolina finds it extremely difficult to give her daughter what she so desperately needs. In the midst of a stormy night, desperation forces her to leave her little girl in a house far from her care.

After being forced to leave her daughter in a group home and ending up hospitalized, Carolina rushed from the clinic in search of her little girl. Unfortunately for her, she received devastating news that made her vow never to touch her heart with anyone. With a painful past, Cristina grew up in a foster home where she dreamed of becoming a famous model and working for the renowned Carolina Guillén. During the presentation of Carolina's new clothing line, Carlos had the opportunity to speak with a prominent businesswoman. When he broke the news to his mother that her designs would be available in a prominent New York store, she was overjoyed. Moments before a benefit for the foster home where Cristina grew up, Carlos had a moment of confusion filled with love. Carolina's son thinks the young woman is the new model they've been waiting for.

While Cristina was desperately searching for a bouquet of white flowers for Carolina, Manuel mistook her for a saleswoman. The young woman corrected him and, thanks to her charisma, won the music producer's affection. Desperate to arrive with the bouquet she had ordered for Carolina's event, Cristina arrived excitedly before the prestigious designer. However, she behaved rudely and offensively toward her great admirer. After the heated encounter with Carolina, in which she felt offended, Cristina expressed her deep disappointment. Now, the admiration she felt for the designer had turned to sadness. After losing her purse, Cristina received an unexpected visit at her home from Manuel, who delivered it to her. Upon learning that Carolina had been rude to her, the producer offered the young woman another chance to meet his wife.

After the incident with Carolina, Cristina was deeply disappointed in her. However, Manuel made it his mission to convince her that his wife was different and give her the opportunity to truly get to know her. Amid the launch of her new clothing line, Carolina contacted the detective she'd hired to find her lost daughter in Europe. However, the designer didn't receive good news. Thanks to Cristina and Marisol, Lorena attended the major music event organized by Manuel. Upon seeing the producer in person, the young woman was enchanted and made that clear from the very first moment. Despite Manuel explaining the importance of the music event he was presenting, Carolina completely forgot. Upset with her husband, the designer arrived late to the event and discovered Manuel's great disappointment.

Deeply hurt by the feeling that Carolina was not interested in his affairs, Manuel expressed his disappointment. The next day, the music producer seemed cold and distant with his wife. At Manuel's request, Cristina went to Carolina's house to get to know her better. She told her personally about her big dream of becoming a model, but only received a painful response. Wanting to make amends for her mistakes, Carolina waited in her room for Manuel to spend the night together. However, a phone call from Lorena interrupted the moment, arousing suspicion and jealousy. Saddened by Carolina's treatment, Cristina left the office devastated. Unexpectedly, Carlos appeared to offer his support, as the flame of love began to rekindle.

Amid Carolina's arduous preparation for Cristina to become a model, the young woman made it clear to the designer that she had no family, as she was an orphan. After many years without seeing her since she was a child, Salvador was delighted to meet Cristina again. Unaware that they shared blood, the two shared what had happened in their lives. After the unexpected encounters he had with Cristina, Carlos can't stop thinking about her. Carolina's stepson feels a special connection with the young woman and longs to see her again. Upon finding her daughter at home, in her boyfriend's arms, Carolina exploded with fury. Faced with the designer's reaction, Manuel demanded to know the reason, but she didn't dare reveal the pain she felt for the girl she had abandoned in the past.
