The family enjoys a lavish lifestyle, but António doesn't go without a driver and armed security since his brother Fausto was murdered, leaving his son Miguel under the care of his aunt and uncle. Helena's hatred for the Rocha family has grown as much as the cousins Tomás and Miguel's love for Laura. So, without realizing, the nurse sees herself in the middle of a love triangle that will undermine the harmony between the Fontes Morais and Rocha families. Still, Verónica, who is totally in love with Tomás, and Helena will resort to any means necessary in order to get rid of Laura.
