Plot
[edit]Helena is a former secretary of António Fontes Morais's who cunningly married her boss, thus earning the title of a trophy wife. Together, they had two children: Tomás and Camila. Their firstborn is a playboy who has been living in the United States and Camila is a spoiled young woman who spends her days spending money and on her phone. 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, who is stuck to a wheelchair, love 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 to get rid of Laura.
