Out of love for her brothers, Clara will have to face Francisca, her stepmother, and sacrifice the passion of a life. Francisca always wanted the life and fortune that her half-sister, Laura, had. She ordered her killed, married her husband, and adopted the younger stepdaughters.

Now plans to kill her husband, but Clara, Laura's eldest daughter, finds out and tries to tell her family. No one believes in Clara and her father ends up driving her and his son, Afonso, out of the house. At the same time, they struggle to work with Paulo (known as "Lobo" which translates to "Wolf"), a criminal who is making them work for him as Afonso's girlfriend lost drugs that she was selling for "Lobo". Afonso broke up with her right after, however "Lobo" never made his girlfriend work for him only Afonso and his sister Clara. However "Lobo" begins to see Clara with other eyes, falling in love with her. Clara faces a problem as she can not get custody of her sisters, Daniela and Marta, but she promised to make everything to protect them. Francisca does not facilitate the life of Clara because she falls in love with her beloved, Manel, finishing these by having an affair. But when Manel realizes that Francisca is not who he thinks, it ends soon with their relationship and goes to Clara. Clara and Manel live a beautiful love story.

Francisca, however, has not stopped loving Manel since the first day she had with him. So this will make Clara's life a living hell and do everything to separate them. Manel even knowing that Francisca is Clara's stepmother, continues with this ending even by marrying her. However, when Francisca was having an affair with Manel, she was married to Eduardo (biological father of Clara, Marta, Daniela and Afonso), and since she wanted to go with Manel and receive his inheritance, she decided to kill him at the party. Marta's birthday.

This is normal, this one stayed in the tracks because the father died at his own party. Daniela, was the only person who had ever arrived at the compound (a terrace in Alfama). As soon as she got there, Francisca was talking to her father. This one (Francisca) decided that it was a good time for her husband to die.

He threw him on the terrace and he died. Daniela, who was in the room, was shocked by what had happened. Francisca, only later did she realize that her husband had died in the presence of Daniela. From this moment, Francisca, afraid that Daniela "opened her mouth" began to give her pills to silence her and to say nothing to the authorities. Daniela is being manipulated by Francisca, and when someone asks her who killed Eduardo, she accuses Clara to Francisca.

Clara and Manel are married but Francisca does not give up on separating them, the villain discovers that his nephew Ricardo has a video of the robbery to the museum where Carlos Paiva died. The villain threatens to tell everyone that Ricardo is homosexual if she does not receive the video. Ricardo gives in to his aunt's blackmail and hands her the video. Francisca made a trip to São Tomé, where Clara and Manel were spending their honeymoon, and threatened the stepdaughter to tell Manel that he participated in the robbery of the museum and to show him the images and the police. Clara gives in and tells Manel that she was forced by the Wolf to make the assault. Manel is disillusioned with Clara and does not forgive her. Which leaves Francisca satisfied.

The villain continues to drug Daniela and turns her against the brothers.

Daniela is very happy to see Nina and the bitch Zuzu and is happier when Nina lets her stay with the dog. When Marta tells Francisca about the judge, Francisca full of rage kills Zuzu, which leaves Daniela behind. The villain threatens Marta to do the same to a person if she goes on to say that she is a lousy mother. Francisca loses custody of Marta but stays with Daniela, who speaks well of her (because she does not want the stepmother to hurt her brothers).

Telmo asks Clara to arrange evidence, she will have to prove that Francisca had an affair with Eduardo before Laura left for Sao Tome and died. The death of Laura commissioned by Francisca leaves Afonso so motivated to catch Francisca and kill her.

Manel and Clara go alone to the farm of Clara's family. On the way they agree that they will have to have a serious conversation after being able to incriminate Francisca. When they get there, Clara sees Lobo's car and is furious, thinking that this one ended with Francisca, against her will. Manel, for his part, is worried about his baby.

Manel gives his testimony to a PSP agent. It does not reveal that Clara was present nor that Afonso was armed. He claims that he thought it was Telmo and that he fired to defend a defenseless civilian. After the agent left, Manel ventured with Pilar who hated to have to lie but did it for Afonso.

Marta arrives at the hospital with Vicente and tries to understand what really happened. Clara does not reveal the truth. The surgeon who operated Afonso addresses the family and conveys, in dismay, that Afonso is alive but in an induced coma so he will not feel pain.
