My hidden truth

Luciano is surprised by Aitana's arrival at the Lizárraga ranch, as she is not the nurse he had chosen to care for his mother, and he fears she will cause problems in the family. Larisa can hardly wait to announce her engagement to Luciano in front of the whole family, although Belinda is not very happy to have her as a stepmother. Aitana tries to run away when she sees Zacarías arrive, as he is the only one capable of recognizing her and ruining her plans. Thanks to Lobo's keen sense of smell, Zacarías is even more certain that Aitana is, in fact, Adriana and confronts her for lying to him.

Faced with Zacarías's insistence, Aitana is forced to confess that she is in fact Adriana and reveals the reasons why she hates the Lizárraga brothers so much. Luciano feels compelled to demand that his brothers stay away from Aitana, stating that they cannot afford to risk their mother's recovery. Noticing Zacarías's change of attitude, Aitana demands that he pretend not to know anything about her story, as this would jeopardize her plans to seek justice. Aitana's pain moves Zacarías to such an extent that he begs her to abandon her suffering so she can live a full life, but she assures him that she has nothing more to offer him.

Belinda is surprised to realize that Aitana understands her in a way that no one in her family ever has. Bruno reveals to Aitana his mother's happiness over her marriage to Luciano, implying that the marriage was arranged by his parents. Iñigo seduces Nuria to make her forget her suspicions that he has a mistress. Bruno reveals to his brothers that he is drowning his sorrows in alcohol to silence the guilt over the crime his brothers committed years ago.

Aitana tries to help Belinda cope with her grief, and Luciano feels relieved to see that his daughter finally has someone she can trust. Luciano almost moves Aitana to tears by demonstrating his love for Belinda, but she refuses to see any goodness in him, remembering that night that changed her life. Mateo discovers that the girl they attacked so many years ago was Zacarías's girlfriend and fears that he is seeking justice against the Lizárraga family. Aitana confesses to Zacarías the reason why she hates Luciano more than her brothers: he was responsible for the attack she suffered.

Luciano becomes furious when he sees that Larisa and Eloísa have already decided on the wedding date without considering his opinion, much less Belinda's feelings. Zacarías begs Aitana to leave her pain behind and focus on being happy, because since she returned to his life, he hasn't been able to stop thinking about their love. Belinda opens her heart to Aitana and confesses her plans and her secret love, hoping that she won't tell Luciano, much less Eloísa. Aitana's investigation bears fruit when she finds evidence that Iñigo is the mysterious man who met with Larisa at the hotel.

Zacarías confronts Mateo for questioning everyone but him about his relationship with Adriana 20 years ago. Aitana confesses to her friend that, despite all the hatred she feels for Luciano, she can't shake the feelings she's developing for him. Iñigo becomes furious when he discovers that Nuria is taking birth control pills, as he needs to have a child who can inherit the Lizárraga family fortune. Seeing so many obstacles that Luciano creates for the wedding, Larisa begins to suspect that he doesn't really want to marry her.
