Plot Gabriel and Demián are identical twins but very different. Gabriel grew up in high society while his brother grew up in poverty which caused him to have a grudge against Gabriel and want to destroy him.

Gabriel was a widower who remarried the hysterical Joselyn. An accident makes Joselyn miscarry and causes disability to Luisito, her son with Gabriel. Joselyn blames her husband and makes his life miserable, with help from her mother Miriam and her daughter Karen from her first marriage. They are the "beasts" that destroy Gabriel.

One day a humble young woman named Mariángela comes to the mansion to teach Luisito, and Gabriel falls in love with her. The "beasts" take charge to destroy Mariángela, especially when they discover that she is the illegitimate daughter of Don Clemente, Miriam's husband and father of Joselyn.
