Plot Maria Cristina is a hardworking young woman who works as a cleaning lady and lives with an elderly woman named Elvira. After being hit by a car driven by millionaire Roberto Albuquerque Medeiros, she ends up falling in love with him.
Roberto is an outgoing and determined young man who works in his father Jorge Antônio’s companies. He lives in the family mansion with his father, his mother Veridiana—with whom he has a great relationship—and his sister Lenita.
When Maria Cristina is taken to the Albuquerque Medeiros mansion, she senses the family’s hostility, especially from Veridiana, who does everything she can to drive the couple apart.
Paulo Bacelar is also determined to put an end to the couple’s romance. Paulo is an unscrupulous executive and Roberto’s rival at Jorge Antônio’s companies. He is jealous of Roberto and wants to destroy him at any cost.
